Great Ming: After Five Years in Seclusion, I Discover My Grandfather Is the Emperor

My name is Zhu You. I'm a transmigrator, and I acquired a System that makes me stronger by reading. Since arriving in the Ming Dynasty, I've gained an extraordinary wealth of knowledge, including theories on national destiny, social development, and the fortunes of dynasties.

My grandfather and I depend on each other for survival in Shuntian Prefecture. I told him I wanted to take the imperial examinations and become an official to save the crumbling empire, but he disagreed. He even said that only if I became emperor could I save the Ming Dynasty.

My name is Zhu Yijun, the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. They say I'm the laziest emperor in the dynasty's history, since I went decades without attending court. In truth, I retired into seclusion with my little grandson. My grandson is dead set on taking the imperial examinations, and it's giving me a headache. I've worked so hard all these years to raise him to become emperor!

Recently, my grandson suddenly used theories on national destiny to explain that the Ming Dynasty is about to fall?

Looks like I'd better hurry up and secretly support him in taking the throne!
