Great Ming: Zhu Yuanzhang Heard My Inner Thoughts

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the eight-year-old Crown Prince Zhu Xiongying died in Yingtian Prefecture.

On the day of his burial, his body mysteriously vanished. Emperor Hongwu flew into a rage, had over a thousand people killed, and secretly ordered a thorough investigation.

In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Zhao Huaizhen, who had transmigrated nine years earlier, inherited a little tavern in Yingtian Prefecture. Business was terrible, and his only regular customer was a strange man called Lao Huang.

The old man kept insisting Zhao Huaizhen was his grandson.

He also constantly asked Zhao Huaizhen questions about people's livelihoods and governing the country, but Zhao Huaizhen always brushed him off.

Then the System issued its annual quest: become an official.

Lao Huang whispered to Zhao Huaizhen, "Well, grandson, I'll stop pretending. I'm Zhu Yuanzhang, and I can hear your thoughts!"
