I Crawled Out of a Coffin, and Old Zhu Personally Taught Me to Be Emperor

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Xiongying, the eight-year-old legitimate imperial grandson, passed away. On the day of his burial, his body mysteriously disappeared.

Emperor Hongwu was furious. He had 896 eunuchs who failed in their duties and 1,300 Imperial Guards and palace guards executed.

In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, in a small courtyard beside the Qinhuai River, Zhu Chen had been in the Ming dynasty for over nine years since transmigrating there.

He was reminiscing about the past with an old man.

"Old man, I can only tell you what happened after I turned eight."

"I'll let you in on a secret: I actually crawled out of my coffin."

"Can you believe it? I don't even know what terrible crime I committed. I was only eight years old, and thousands of Imperial Guards had surrounded me!"

The old man suddenly froze. His eyes reddened, his hands trembled, and he cried out in excitement,

"Grandson! You're alive?!"

What the hell! Is this old geezer crazy or something?

The old man stared blankly at Zhu Huai and said in a stunned voice, "Do you want to be emperor?"

Zhu Chen was baffled. "Old man, how many dishes did you have? You're drunk out of your mind."

The old man panicked. "I'll let you in on a secret too: I'm Zhu Yuanzhang! You're my legitimate eldest grandson!"
