Great Ming: The Poison-Tongued Prince Lets the Facts Speak for Themselves

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Shuang, the second son of Zhu Yuanzhang, awakened memories of his past life.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in the middle of granting fiefs to his sons. Knowing the drawbacks of sending princes to the borders to defend the realm, Zhu Shuang hurriedly wrote a memorial urging Zhu Yuanzhang to reconsider.

"Granting princes fiefs on the borders is a policy that will destroy the country!"

"Lifting the maritime ban is the only way to make the Great Ming powerful and prosperous!"

"Corrupt officials aren't necessarily incompetent officials. To save the people, you must first save the officials."

"Encouraging handicrafts and commerce is the only way to make the Great Ming an empire on which the sun never sets."

"..."

Zhu Shuang was full of enthusiasm, thinking that if Zhu Yuanzhang would heed his golden advice, the Great Ming would stand unrivaled across the world.

However, after reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage.

"You scoundrel! You actually pleaded for corrupt officials? That's outrageous!"

In his fury, Zhu Yuanzhang kicked Zhu Shuang all the way from Yingtian to Dengzhou.

Indignant, Zhu Shuang decided to let the facts speak for themselves.

Five years later, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw the number of Zhu Shuang's children listed in the imperial clan records, he was instantly stunned.

"A thousand sons? Is he a pig? He's drained my treasury dry!"

"That scoundrel dared to sail overseas? And he built an invincible fleet? Where did he get the money?"
