Exiled for Ten Years, I Return to Court Feared Across the Land

Old Zhu demoted you to guard the frontier! You spent ten years on the border, earning renown across the land! Now you return to court after a great victory!

He transmigrates to the Ming dynasty and becomes Zhu Yuanzhang's second son.

During the Battle of Hongdu, Zhu Bin fights for a hundred days and proves himself the bravest of the entire army.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "You fought so fiercely at Hongdu and rendered such great service. Where does that leave your elder brother? What face will he have left?"

To avoid blocking his elder brother's path to the throne, Zhu Bin disbands his entire retinue.

Alone, he heads north to guard the frontier.

"Your Majesty, here is the list of the top scorers in the imperial examinations: the champion, the runner-up, and the third-place scholar."

Zhu Yuanzhang sees the names on the list and flies into a rage. "Zhu Bin, what exactly are you trying to do? Three rounds of exams over nine years, and the champion, runner-up, and third-place scholar are all your retainers! What are you up to?"

"Report! Report! Report!"

"What is it?"

"Your Majesty, a million troops are marching south, their swords pointed straight at Jinling!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is struck with terror!

"Who is it?"

"The Second Prince!"
