On the day when the results were released in the spring of the seventh year of Hongwu, Shen Yan looked at the densely packed names on the red paper, and his fingertips almost pinched into the palm of his hand. He was a stranger who traveled through the five years of the Ming Dynasty. He originally wanted to make a name for himself in the imperial examinations with his wealth of economics and live a stable life as a small official. However, he was hated by the King of Qin Zhu Shuang because of his drunken remark, "The power of the vassal king will inevitably lead to chaos."
The coolness of the bluestone soaked through his official boots. Shen Yan looked in the direction of the imperial city and suddenly smiled - in this era where imperial power crushes everything, do you want to save your life? Only rebellion!
He found Wang Nianjiao Huang and took out his homemade flintlock gun: "Old Huang, this firearm can blast open the city gate!"
He spread out the drawings of the improved curved-turn plow: "Look at this farm tool, it can double the yield per mu!"
He pointed at the map and made an impassioned speech: "This Ming Dynasty is stubborn and will be overtaken by the barbarians sooner or later!"
Huang Weng twisted his beard and smiled, still noncommittal. It wasn't until the wedding day of Shen Yan and Huang Weng's granddaughter Zhu Yuning that he rode a tall horse to the "Emperor Princess Mansion". He looked at the phoenix crown and tassels exposed under the red hijab, and then looked at Huang Weng behind him who suddenly put on a dragon robe, and finally understood the meaning of the sentence "I am actually surnamed Zhu".
"Zhu Chongba! You cheated me too much!" Shen Yan grabbed the bride's hand and roared.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows: "My son-in-law, shouldn't he help me create a prosperous age?"
A deception that started as a rebellion ended up as a game between father-in-law and son-in-law. When modern technology meets Hongwu's iron fist, will Shen Yan lead Lao Zhu out of East Asia, or will Zhu Chongba completely domesticate his son-in-law into a pillar of the Ming Dynasty?
