Great Ming: Zhu Yunwen, You Cut Down the Princes and Came After Me?

Transmigrate into the least noticed of Zhu Yuanzhang’s nineteen sons?

And from the start, my good nephew Zhu Yunwen wants to make me an example of a prince who can be easily pushed around, to serve as a model for his campaign to abolish the fiefs?

Everyone thinks I, Zhu Xu, am meat on the chopping board, the fattest chicken to kill as a warning to the others.

But they don’t know that in the five years I spent pretending to be poor and miserable, I had already built an iron empire overseas!

My fleet controls the South Seas, my firearms are ready, and my three million subjects recognize only one king: me!

You, Zhu Yunwen, want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys?

Fine! I, Zhu Xu, will rebel!

And I won’t stop there. I’ll raise the banner of “avenging my father and purging the court,” making myself the most dutiful son in the realm. Then you won’t be able to kill me or praise me!

Think that’s the end of it?

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The man who should be resting in Xiaoling Mausoleum is hiding in the shadows, watching us uncle and nephew perform with great interest…

This is the ultimate spectacle: the grandson goes mad on the stage, the son raises troops overseas, and the father secretly watches from behind the scenes!

Come on in!

See how I, Zhu Xu, slowly turn my nephew, who started with an unbeatable hand, into the biggest laughingstock under heaven!

And while I’m at it, I’ll offer a proper incense stick to my father, who just rose from the dead!
