Great Ming: I, Zhu Xiongying, Will Become the Emperor of an Immortal Nation

I am Zhu Xiongying, the most honored Crown Prince's eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty!

But the Crown Princess wants me dead!

The civil officials want me dead!

The Green-Robed Tower, Divine Machine Battalion, Dragon Guarding Manor, and Eastern Depot all want me dead!

I can only disguise myself as an imperial envoy, forge an edict, establish the National Tax Bureau, and recruit a hundred thousand tax-enforcement soldiers just to protect myself!

I can only train relentlessly in Qiti Yuanyuan, the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Art, Black Heaven Tribulation, and Sword Flight!

I can only get drunk and go boating on the lake, while a beauty grinds ink for me as I compose poems for the ages!

I can only wield the art of overthrowing dragons to seize Jingzhou, turn it into an impregnable fortress, and make it so prosperous that heroes and common folk from across the nine provinces flock to join me!

I will create a peerless, golden age for the Ming Dynasty, a sacred dynasty at its zenith, and make the nations beyond our borders come pay homage!

I swear to become the Great Emperor of an immortal kingdom!
