Great Ming: The Xuanwu Gate Coup, I Ascend the Throne!

He transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty and becomes Zhu Qiyu, the younger brother of Zhu Qizhen, a Ming prince being held as a hostage by the Oirat.

From the start, his father dies and passes the throne to Zhu Qizhen. Naturally, Zhu Qiyu becomes a thorn in the side of the wicked empress dowager, Sun Ruowei.

When he reaches the age to take up his fief, as dictated by ancestral custom, Sun Ruowei sends him off to the desolate northwest to eliminate any future threat.

Faced with a barren fief constantly threatened by foreign invaders, Zhu Qiyu's first priority is to survive.

He awakens a talent System that lets him exchange money for all kinds of talent.

A dilapidated city? Exchange for a hundred thousand artisans and build a city overnight!

A poor fief? Exchange for a hundred thousand merchant peddlers and control the economic lifelines of the Ming Dynasty within a month!

Too few troops and generals? Exchange for a hundred thousand cavalry and sweep across the nations of the Western Regions within three months.

This continues until Zhu Qizhen leads an army to defeat at Tumu Fortress, and Sun Ruowei summons Zhu Qiyu to the capital to govern as regent.

Zhu Qiyu immediately launches a forceful Xuanwu Gate coup, dons the imperial robes, and officially ascends the throne...
