Disaster! The Good-for-Nothing Crown Prince Is Rebelling

[Alternate history + master schemer + political intrigue + clever characters + satisfying power fantasy]

A 21st-century prodigy in military command transmigrates into the Great Wei Dynasty, a kingdom never mentioned in the history books, and becomes a weak crown prince whom everyone can bully.

His military authority is stripped away, and he is caught up in a rebellion scandal.

But Chen Beixuan remains utterly calm. He roars:

“I am the Crown Prince of Great Wei! Who dares lay a hand on me?”

Standing alone in the great hall, facing threats from the assembled court officials, he repeatedly begs the Emperor of Wei to strip him of his title, send him to the frontier, and let him die in battle, so he can live up to the name of Crown Prince!

With plain rice porridge and pickles at every meal, plus fried chicken handed out, what need is there to worry about not ending up in the imperial yellow robes?

Soldiers and commoners: “We are willing to brave fire and water for the Crown Prince! We’ll storm the imperial city and enthrone him as Emperor of Great Wei!”

The First Prince: “Father, the Crown Prince has rebelled!”

The Emperor of Wei: “Guards, convey my verbal decree: mobilize the Imperial City Guard and give the Crown Prince your full support in his rebellion. Oh, and take me along to be bound up for him, too.”

The assembled court officials: “Your Highness, let’s talk this out! Please don’t come back with a million troops and scare us!”
