Great Ming: The Impostor Imperial Grandson

He transmigrated to the Ming dynasty. Before he could take in the splendor of the Great Ming, he was forced from the start to impersonate Zhu Zhanji, the eldest imperial grandson who had just been assassinated. His first move was to send Ji Gang packing.

“Grandpa, want to come smoke with me?”

“Father! You need to lose weight!”

“Second Uncle, let your nephew treat you to roast chicken!”

“What? Third Uncle, you want some too?”

“Ruowei, don’t be afraid. With me here, I’d like to see how the future God of War of the Great Ming can still make it!”

“Shanxiang, you’re a good woman!”

He thought that if he played dumb and kept a low profile, he could muddle through until the old emperor passed away and his dear father died, then devote himself wholeheartedly to enjoying life as a useless ruler.

Who could have guessed that, faced with the tangled web of Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, the Prince of Han, the Prince of Zhao, the surviving heirs of the Jingnan Campaign, and other factions, he would have no choice but to set the Great Ming on the path to greatness?

No money for a northern expedition? Ask the officials to donate? They refuse? Then confiscate their estates? Add a package deal for their nine generations of kin?

What? The old emperor wants to campaign in the north? Let me upgrade our firepower first!

The people don’t have enough to eat? Zheng He, when you go to sea, remember to bring back that... whoever...

Short on silver? I thought it was something serious. That’s all? Just watch me...

But when the old emperor was on his deathbed at Yumu Chuan during his northern campaign, he called him over and told him a secret...

Before Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi died, he called him over too and told him another secret...

After learning these secrets, he was completely dumbfounded...

Along the way, he went from eldest imperial grandson to imperial heir, crown prince, and emperor...

When the Great Ming stood atop the world, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked down on all under heaven. Who could challenge him?!
