Great Ming: From the Start, I Throw Zhu Yuanzhang in Jail!

Ye Qing transmigrates to the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty and becomes a county magistrate in a border town. Desperate to return to the modern era, he goes out of his way to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang.

County Magistrate Ye Qing: "Arrest Zhu Yuanzhang, throw him in jail, strap him to the tiger bench, and make him pedal the sewing machine until it smokes!"

Prefect Ye Qing: "Draft Zhu Yuanzhang into the army and send him to the battlefield to fend for himself!"

Provincial Administration Commissioner Ye Qing: "Put Zhu Yuanzhang on a warship as a sailor, so he can experience the joy of killing Japanese pirates firsthand!"

Looking at yet another imperial decree promoting him, Ye Qing explodes: "I snatched the princesses the emperor was marrying off!"

"I snatched the two daughters of Xu Da, Duke of Wei!"

"Zhu Chongba, why haven't you killed me? Why do I keep getting promoted?"

As Ye Qing stands there bewildered, Old Zhu beside him grins and says, "I'm Zhu Yuanzhang. I personally brought people to help you snatch them. How could I not know?"

"I just had former prime minister Hu Weiyong executed. Want to be prime minister?"

Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Qing grabs Old Zhu and heads off to take up the post. He's determined to become the Ming Dynasty's doomed prime minister!…
