Great Ming: Comparing Zhu Di from the Start, Old Zhu Is Dumbfounded!

In the first year of Hongwu, a Heavenly Dragon Vein Mirror descends from the sky and, before the assembled court officials, begins revealing two possible futures for Zhu Di, the fourth prince!

In one, he fails in the Jingnan Campaign and dies by setting himself on fire, branded a traitor. The Ming Dynasty grows weak, bullied by barbarians!

In the other, he moves the capital to Beiping, with the emperor guarding the nation's gates. He leads five campaigns north of the desert, sends Zheng He on seven voyages across the western seas, sweeps across the world, and becomes an emperor for the ages, forging the Yongle Golden Age!

Watching the decisive, brilliant "Yongle Emperor" in the mirror, then looking at the unruly son before him, Zhu Yuanzhang is consumed with envy!

"We came from the same stock. How can the difference be so huge?"

"Guards! Take the Imperial Seal and deliver it to Fourth Son. I'm retiring early!"

As the Heavenly Mirror continues to reveal future "black technologies," including new cannons, ten-thousand-ton treasure ships, and a world map...

Zhu Yuanzhang can't sit still. He decides to take matters into his own hands and build a super Ming Dynasty even more glorious than the Yongle Golden Age!
