In the last years of Yongle, the shadow of the Forbidden City quietly spread. The sharp blade of Han King Zhu Gaoxu cut through the life of the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji and almost cut off the future of the Ming Dynasty. The grandson of the emperor who should have returned to Jiuquan opened his eyes in the thatched cottage of the villagers in the mountains - inside, there was a modern soul from hundreds of years later.
With a complete memory of Ming history, he knew the short-lived glory of the "Reign of Renxuan", and was even more aware of the blood and tears of the Tumubao Incident, the hidden dangers of the eunuch's dictatorship, and the regrets of every step of the dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline. Today, he is no longer the step-by-step emperor grandson, but an "outsider" holding the historical script.
Faced with the covetous forces of the Han Dynasty, the tangled old Xun Group in the court, foreign enemies on the border, and the hidden worries of the people's declining livelihood, the reborn Zhu Zhanji worked step by step. He used modern knowledge to improve farming and mulberry trees, innovate military equipment, use historical perspective to identify loyalties and traitors, organize the court, stabilize his position in the turbulent times, and reshape the foundation of the Ming Dynasty amidst internal and external troubles.
This time, he wanted to stop the rebellion of his uncles, avoid the bane of eunuchs interfering in politics, and make the "Reign of Renxuan" more than a flash in the pan; this time, he wanted the Ming Dynasty's navy to continue to cross the sea, so that the fertile soil for farming would no longer be barren, and the people's cooking smoke would be warm forever; this time, he would personally rewrite history, and let the four words "Ming Dynasty Regret" be completely erased from the history books.
From the village thatched cottage back to the Golden Palace, from a bystander of history to the helm of the dynasty, let's see how Emperor Xuande, possessed by a modern soul, reverses the course of events and creates a prosperous Ming Dynasty that far exceeds imagination!
