Great Ming: Old Zhu Teaches Me the Art of Dragon Slaying from the Start

In the eighth year of Hongwu, Crown Princess Chang gives birth to a son, who dies the same day!

Zhu Yuanzhang sends guards far across the Eastern Sea to seek a cure, but they return empty-handed.

The incident is later lost to history.

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Crown Prince Zhu Biao dies.

Several days later,

a figure opens the gates of the Imperial College and presents a jade pendant shaped like a sesame flatbread.

Zhu Yuanzhang gazes at his eldest grandson, who still has no idea who he is, and bursts into tears.

Fearing the vassal princes have grown too powerful and that Zhu Yunwen will be unable to stand against them alone, Zhu Yuanzhang decides to secretly teach Zhu Ci the art of slaying dragons.

If you want the throne one day, you’ll have to take it for yourself!

“Eldest Grandson, I know the art of slaying dragons. Want me to teach you?”

Zhu Ci curls his lip.

“Old Zhu, you’re just a merchant with a bit of money. What the hell do you know about slaying dragons?”

“Why don’t you listen to my way of slaying dragons?”

The next moment!

Military reforms, agricultural reforms, the Grand Canal, great voyages across the seas...

Watching his eldest grandson talk on and on and take over the conversation...

Zhu Yuanzhang completely loses his mind!
