Late Ming: Zhu Cilang Joins the Zhu Family Chat Group

Chen Hong transmigrated into the body of Zhu Cilang, the last crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and bound himself to the Zhu family emperors' chat group System. His fate was tied to the Ming Dynasty's national fortune, and raising it would unlock more rewards.

[Ding! Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty has joined the chat group.]

[Ding! Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi of the Ming Dynasty has joined the chat group.]

[Ding! Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong of the Ming Dynasty has joined the chat group.]

[Ding! ...]

Zhu Yuanzhang: “I take one nap and the Ming Dynasty is about to fall? Where's Yunwen? Is this how you rule as emperor? Wait, why is Gaochi here? Isn't this a chat group for Zhu family emperors?”

Zhu Gaochi: “Imperial Grandfather, you forgot. You passed the throne to my father in the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu!”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “The thirty-fifth year of Hongwu? But I died in the thirty-first... Wait, no, twelve out of ten things are wrong here!”

[Ding! Yongle Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty has joined the chat group.]

Zhu Yuanzhang glared fiercely at Zhu Di. “Fourth Son, tell me, how did you become emperor?”

Zhu Di: “Father, I became emperor in the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu...”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “Bullshit! Do you take me for a fool?”

Zhu Cilang: “Ancestors, please stop arguing for a moment. The Ming Dynasty is about to fall, and my dad won't listen. What should I do? I'm waiting for an answer here, and it's urgent.”

That very night, the Zhu family's ancestral dream-delivery trick was put to use: the bloodstained rattan switch passed down since 1382 came calling.

[Ding! Zhengtong Emperor Zhu Qizhen has joined the chat group.]

Everyone turned to look his way.

Zhu Qizhen crouched awkwardly in the corner, smiling more miserably than if he were crying. “Once you've finished beating him, you won't beat me too, right?”

(The main goal is to make you laugh until your stomach hurts.)
