Great Ming: Old Zhu Insists I Become Emperor

Zhu Chen transmigrates, and for ten years his System stays dormant.

At long last, he gets himself an adoptive father. The System wakes up, but the mission is to rebel and take the throne.

Zhu Chen decides to keep pretending to be useless. But his adoptive father brings him memorials to review every day. He casually analyzes the Lan Yu case, and the next day Lan Yu shows up at his door to thank him for saving his life.

He casually suggests a tax on commerce, and within a month the imperial court collects an extra 250,000 taels.

The harder Zhu Chen tries to keep a low profile, the harder it gets, until one day his adoptive father appears at his door in imperial robes. "Stop pretending. Come back to the palace with Me."

Zhu Chen looks at the Huai-Xi generals and Yan Prince's spies already gathered behind him. Is he really going to have to become emperor after all?
