Zhu Yuanzhang: You Treat Career Planning Like a Year-End Review?

He transmigrates into a parallel Ming dynasty and becomes Zhu Di, Prince of Yan.

With the year drawing to a close, Zhu Yuanzhang is reviewing his sons' annual reports.

Only the annual report from his fourth son, Zhu Di, is missing. He demands to know where the Prince of Yan's report is.

The eunuch attending him points to a stack of documents on the table, a full foot high, all belonging to Prince Zhu Di.

Zhu Yuanzhang stares in bewilderment as he picks up the stack and looks through it. It even has a table of contents.

Hongwu Years 7 to 9: Stay in the palace, read books, study, and learn to ride and shoot.

Hongwu Years 9 to 13: Get married, return to Fengyang, and see how the common people live.

Hongwu Years 13 to 17: Go to Yan as a feudal prince, develop the frontier, and open up trade.

Hongwu Year 25: The crown prince dies. The Prince of Yan is appointed crown prince. I will become emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang reads Zhu Di's annual report and career plan, his face darkening.

Fourth son Zhu, you really have made your father proud to death.
