Great Ming: I Really Never Meant to Become the Imperial Preceptor

After transmigrating to the Ming dynasty, Zhu Shuang became Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, Zhu Shuang.

As soon as Zhu Shuang was old enough to understand things, he devoted himself to seeking the Dao and paid no heed to worldly affairs.

With no other choice, when Zhu Shuang was ten, Zhu Yuanzhang, then a rebel leader, asked the Taoist sect's master and elders to accept Zhu Shuang as a Daoist disciple.

Out of deference to Zhu Yuanzhang's status, the Taoist elders reluctantly accepted Zhu Shuang as an outer disciple.

A hundred days later, Zhu Shuang returned home, floating serenely, as countless onlookers stared in stunned silence.

Every disciple of the Taoist sect had turned out, seeing him off for ten miles at the foot of the mountain.

The sect master and elders all performed the formal disciple's ritual of three bows and nine prostrations, seeing off the ten-year-old Zhu Shuang.

Three years later, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, and Yangzhou suffered a severe drought.

People across the realm grew restless, and the state was in turmoil.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was at his wits' end, Zhu Di took two talismans from Zhu Shuang's residence

and hurried to Yangzhou.

When Zhu Di arrived, a silver dragon roared above Yangzhou, and torrential rain poured down for three days without stopping.

New shoots filled the fields, lush and green.
