The Ming Dynasty's Best Grandson: Old Zhu, Give Me Some Gold

Zhu Xiongying wakes up to find that he has transmigrated into the Hongwu era of the Great Ming dynasty, as Zhu Xiongying, the emperor’s eldest grandson!

Thinking he is doomed to die young, just like the original Zhu Xiongying, he unexpectedly becomes bound to the “Ancestor’s Happiness Treasure” System. His chosen ancestor is none other than Ming Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang!

As long as he can stir up Old Zhu’s emotions, especially raise his blood pressure, he can win all kinds of reward chests! And so, life in the Ming imperial palace takes a sudden turn.

Zhu Xiongying: “Grandpa, you’re not even as quick as I am at reviewing these memorials!”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “Insolent! … Hm? What is this ‘phonetic annotation method’? Did it come from a reward?”

Zhu Xiongying: “Grandpa, are the Northern Yuan cavalry really that fearsome? I got a Maxim gun blueprint last night, though it’s a little heavy…”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “???”

Zhu Xiongying: “Grandpa, I heard you’re planning to abolish the chancellorship. How about setting up a cabinet for fun? It came as a package deal, complete with a Grand Secretary!”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “You little brat! … Wait, this idea actually sounds pretty good?”

From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang ping-pongs between flying into a rage and admitting that he loves it. Meanwhile, with the grandfather and grandson constantly trading barbs, the Great Ming charges ahead at full speed, growing stranger by the day… This is a lighthearted story about a perfectly ordinary, if slightly mischievous, modern man who uses reward coins to “show filial piety” by making himself powerful, while also changing the course of the Great Ming.
