Great Ming: I'm a Rogue County Magistrate, and I Saved Zhu Yingying from the Start

In the fifteenth year of the Hongwu reign, Crown Prince Zhu Xiongying contracts smallpox and is near death. The imperial physicians are helpless.

In a dream, an immortal tells Zhu Yuanzhang that there is a miracle doctor in Xinghua County who can save Zhu Xiongying’s life.

But the immortal also says, “Zhu Xiongying’s fate has already been severed. Do not draw attention while seeking a doctor this time. It would be best to make him appear dead and hold the funeral as planned. That way, you can fool the heavens, seize the fortune of creation, and reshape his fate.”

So, to extend his grandson’s life, Zhu Yuanzhang disguises himself as a commoner and personally sets out for Xinghua County to find the miracle doctor.

When he arrives, he is completely stunned.

The stone-paved roads are wider than those in the capital, tall buildings line the streets, and the people live in peace and prosperity.

Zhu Yuanzhang: “Why is this gray road so smooth?”

Passerby: “Heh, it’s an asphalt road made by Magistrate Gu...”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “What is this thing?”

Shop assistant: “It’s a flush toilet invented by Magistrate Gu.”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “I heard there’s a miracle doctor in Xinghua County. Where can I find him?”

Constable: “You mean Magistrate Gu? He’s probably... at the brothel?”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “...”

Magistrate Gu Changfeng: “This boy has an extraordinary build. How about you let me adopt him?”
