[Transmigration, an imaginary setting, and inspiration from history. Hope you enjoy!]
I transmigrated into the ninth prince of the Great Qi Kingdom. Here, eight princes vie for power, nine sons compete for the throne, and a bunch of consorts are busy fighting one another in the palace. Fine, fine, I don't want any part of this. I'll head far north to the desert frontier, build high walls, stockpile grain, and raise an iron cavalry of a hundred thousand to defend the border.
Minister 1: “Report! Beiliang sent two hundred thousand troops to attack the northern frontier, but the Ninth Prince routed them!”
Emperor Qing: “...”
Crown Prince: “...”
Minister 2: “Urgent report! The Great Xia Kingdom's three hundred thousand cavalry were wiped out by the Ninth Prince!”
Emperor Qing: “...”
Crown Prince: “...”
Minister 3: “Urgent, urgent report! The Ninth Prince's army has crossed the Helan Mountains, and the ruler of the Great Jin has submitted to our Great Qing!”
Crown Prince: “Father, why not let Ninth Brother take the throne instead?”
Emperor Qing: “No need. I think I'll just abdicate!”
There seems to be less content like the nine sons seizing the heir. Will there be direct war in the later stage?
