Great Ming: Plotting a Rebellion and Bringing Old Zhu on Board

Li Tang transmigrates to the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty and becomes a low-ranking officer in the army. He awakens a Rebellion System that rewards him whenever he does something that helps advance a rebellion.

A great man cannot spend his whole life under someone else's thumb, so Li Tang plans to recruit some allies.

There is a lieutenant in the Imperial Guard named Huang who is dissatisfied with the court. Li Tang arranges to meet him at Zhongshan, hoping to persuade him to join.

But that very day, Zhu Yuanzhang, grieving for his late son Zhu Biao, goes incognito to pay his respects at the Crown Prince's Mausoleum on Zhongshan. Li Tang runs into him and mistakes him for Lieutenant Huang.

"Brother Huang, listen. Zhu Chongba won't be around much longer. After he dies, Zhu Yunwen will become emperor and try to strip the vassal princes of their power. But his uncles won't just sit around waiting to be killed. When the realm descends into chaos, that's our chance."

After hearing Li Tang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang decides to fake his death to test Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, and the others.

Not long afterward, Zhu Yuanzhang dies, and Zhu Yunwen and his uncles clash violently.

Seeing that the time is right, Li Tang raises the banner of rebellion and storms the imperial palace with Old Huang.

When Zhu Yunwen and his uncles see Old Huang, they all drop to their knees and beg forgiveness.
