Great Ming: I Just Became a Prince, and Then the Old Zhu Kicked the Bucket

In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Li transmigrates and becomes Zhu Yuanzhang's seventh son, the Prince of Qi!

Just as he plans to throw in his lot with the Prince of Yan and live the carefree life of a prince, news suddenly arrives.

Zhu Yuanzhang is dead?!

Seeing how things stand, Zhu Li decides to go all in and rebel!

As it turns out, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't die of illness. This was all part of his scheme.

He faked his death to draw out the hidden dangers lurking in the court.

But...

As he reads one message after another coming from the imperial palace, Zhu Yuanzhang is left dumbfounded.

"The Prince of Qi took Nanjing in ten days, purged the court of evil ministers, and held the emperor hostage to command the lords!"

"The Prince of Qi personally led his army on a northern campaign, sweeping across the desert and winning immortal glory!"

"The Prince of Qi's might shakes the realm! All nations come to pay tribute, and wherever the sun and moon shine is now Ming territory!"

"..."

After reading this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thinks that being the retired emperor sounds pretty wonderful!
