Dream of the Red Chamber: From the Start, I Put Down a Rebellion, and the Entire Court Begged Me to Ascend the Throne

Ning Huan transmigrates into the world of Dream of the Red Chamber. When he opens his eyes again, he's somehow become the dynasty's second prince?

He has barely accepted his new identity when a System booms inside his head:

“Reward: potent vitality and a grand Embroidered Guard package!”

Ning Huan sneers. The crown prince has joined forces with a prince to set an ambush? Perfect. Let's settle this at Xuanwu Gate!

He activates the Embroidered Guard spies that very night, turning the imperial capital into an iron net. He uncovers the crown prince's troop movements and the bribing of a deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.

In a single night, he leads the Embroidered Guards to crush the rebels and capture Prince Yizhong alive!

The emperor makes his decision on the spot: “Strip the crown prince of his title and appoint Ning Huan as the new heir!”

Barely has he taken his new position when the Minister of Revenue jumps up to object: “Cut taxes and the treasury will run dry!”

Ning Huan simply produces the ill-gotten gains seized from the former crown prince's faction. “Will ten thousand taels of gold be enough?”

Then he summons the god of war Li Jing and the war god Chen Qingzhi, along with the Tang Dynasty's Black Armored Army and the Snow Dragon Cavalry!

He replenishes the northern frontier armies' pay in full, terrifying the outsiders into abandoning any plans to invade south.

A rebel faction plots a coup and spreads rumors that “the Jia family is colluding with Prince Nan'an,” hoping to throw the court into chaos?

Ning Huan has the Embroidered Guards raid seventy corrupt officials' homes in three days, uncover the prince's private troops, then sends the Snow Dragon Cavalry to surround his mansion!

Prince Beijing faints on the spot, while people line the streets cheering for the “wise crown prince”!

A selection of consorts to win over the powerful? He brings Jia Yuanchun of the Rongguo Mansion and You Erjie of the Ningguo Mansion into the Eastern Palace.

This secures the support of the nobility while giving the Embroidered Guards a chance to dig into the Jia family's old scandals!

Fifteen thousand Jurchen troops invade from beyond the frontier?

He sends the Snow Dragon Cavalry around behind them, wipes out the Jurchen main force, and captures their wolf lord alive!

The Turks try to take advantage of the turmoil? He strikes back by invading their royal court, bringing the grassland tribes into complete submission!

Ning Huan: “Let them learn what it means to be the Son of Heaven of the Central Plains!”
