Great Ming: Old Zhu Secretly Dresses as a Woman to Hear My Storytelling

Reborn in the Hongwu era, he becomes Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, Zhu Shuang.

After urging the old Zhu to lift the maritime ban and abandon the system of enfeoffment, the old Zhu cuts off his stipend and sends him away with nothing.

Hearing that Zhu Shuang is actually farming with his own hands, the old Zhu worries and goes to check on him in person.

To his surprise, he finds Zhu Shuang telling stories.

While discussing the court's war against the Xia Kingdom, Zhu Shuang says there is actually a hidden path through Chencang that can be used to launch a surprise attack into Shu.

The old Zhu follows his advice, and sure enough, defeats the Xia Kingdom with a single move.

From then on, the old Zhu often disguises himself and comes to listen to the stories.

From economic development to geography and even weapons manufacturing, the old Zhu is utterly enthralled.

Xu Da: I hear the Prince of Qin's stories are uncannily accurate. His Majesty should go and see for himself.

The old Zhu: I'd rather die than go!

Zhu Biao: I saw a woman listening to the stories who looked strangely like Father.

The old Zhu: Your eyes are playing tricks on you! Say that again and I'll get angry!
