I’m the Hongwu Emperor’s Direct Grandson, the Ming Dynasty’s Strongest Crown Prince!

Transmigrating to the 25th year of the Hongwu reign, I became the ill-fated imperial grandson Zhu Yunton!

My father, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, has just died, and my timid cousin Zhu Yunwen is about to take the throne. According to history, I’ll be imprisoned and die a violent death!

What should I do? Wait to die? Never!

At Zhu Biao’s funeral, the officials petitioned to make Zhu Yunwen crown prince.

I stepped forward. “Grandfather, please appoint me as the Imperial Crown Prince!”

One sentence left the entire hall stunned!

When faced with my arrogant, overbearing great-uncle-in-law Lan Yu, I struck him across the face, teaching him before the court what it meant to know his place as a subject!

When the sour-minded Confucian officials tried to make things difficult for me, I recited “Ode to Lime,” summoning rolling thunder that shook the whole court!

Zhu Yuanzhang: “Good! Good! Good! My dear grandson, you’ve got the spirit I had in my youth! The Great Ming realm should be inherited by a tough, iron-fisted ruler like you!”

From then on, the Great Ming gained its most hardline and domineering Imperial Crown Prince ever!
