Great Ming: Reviving the Great Ancestor Hongwu, Shaking Zhu Di at the Hall of Supreme Harmony

In the nineteenth year of Yongle, on the day Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji is to be married, a scandal erupts in the Hall of Supreme Harmony: his future crown princess, Hu Shanxiang, publicly ruins her reputation and declares that her heart belongs to someone else. Zhu Di flies into a thunderous rage, the entire court is in an uproar, and a thousand-mile manhunt leads straight to Prince Qin, Zhu Gaoyu!

But no one knows that this lowborn son, forgotten by the emperor for more than twenty years, is already the only cultivator in the world. And no one knows that the dark-faced old farmer at his side, who spends his days grilling flatbreads and cooking duck-blood vermicelli soup, is actually the Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, who should have been resting in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum!

When Zhu Di draws his sword to punish him, Zhu Gaoyu retaliates with two slaps, knocking the crown prince to the ground and leaving the assembled officials dumbfounded. When three thousand hidden guards silently surround the palace and a golden Nine-Dragon Medal appears out of nowhere, Zhu Di finally realizes that the son he despises most holds the trump card that can upend the entire Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yuanzhang sneers, holding the emperor's sword: "You disobedient brat, if you dare lay a hand on my precious grandson, you'll have to ask my sword first!"

Zhu Gaoyu casually flicks his sleeve. "The throne? Not interested. But if anyone picks on me, don't blame me for making the Ming Dynasty change hands!"
