Great Ming: My Imperial Brother Comes Clean, I Am Zhu Houzhao

In the ninth year of the Hongzhi era, the emperor's second son, Zhu Houwei, died at just one year old, but his body mysteriously disappeared.

In the fifteenth year of the Hongzhi era, Emperor Zhu Youtang and Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao encounter Zhu Wei, who has transmigrated into the capital!

The moment they meet, Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao are both stunned. Zhu Wei looks so much like Zhu Houzhao. Could he possibly be the emperor's second son, Zhu Houwei, who disappeared six years ago?

After that, Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao keep dropping by Zhu Wei's courtyard whenever they get the chance.

Once Zhu Wei's true identity is confirmed, Zhu Youtang excitedly grabs his hand and says, "I won't pretend anymore. I'll come clean: I am the emperor of Great Ming, and you are my second son!"

Zhu Houzhao also says excitedly, "I'll come clean too: I'm your biological older brother!"

After Zhu Youtang's death, Zhu Houzhao becomes emperor of Great Ming, makes Zhu Houwei a prince, and appoints him superintendent of the Inner Factory, responsible for overseeing officials and keeping tabs on the empire!

After Zhu Houzhao dies without leaving an heir, Zhu Houwei becomes the first in line to inherit the throne of Great Ming!

After Zhu Houwei ascends the throne, he changes the era name to Jiajing and truly takes sole control of Great Ming!
