I am Zhu Gaoxu. I returned to the second year of Yongle with a System.
I only wanted to stay alive with a few unconventional tricks, but the System keeps getting me into trouble!
Trouble No. 1:
I only wanted to make some money, so I offered up a soap recipe.
The result: The imperial harem nearly came to blows over “slippery soap,” and I became the harem's number-one “bestie.”
Zhu Di, looking conflicted: “Second son, you're even more talented at business than your big brother...”
Trouble No. 2:
I only wanted to protect myself, so I made a few flintlock guns.
The result: I routed the Divine Engine Battalion on the drill ground and shocked everyone.
The officials, horrified: “The Prince of Han has secretly made weapons! He deserves death! Is he planning a rebellion?”
Trouble No. 3:
I only wanted to go to sea and get some peace and quiet, so I took the opportunity to upgrade the fleet.
The result: A barrage of cannons blasted the Malacca pirates to pieces. When the news got back, the whole court was speechless.
The Crown Prince, trembling: “Father, could Second Brother... could he be planning to attack us from the sea?”
I watched as Zhu Di grew more and more admiring, the Crown Prince more and more fearful, and Third Brother more and more sycophantic. I was close to tears.
“Father, I really don't want to be emperor!”
Zhu Di patted my shoulder and smiled with satisfaction. “Good son, I understand. You're doing this for the eternal glory of the Ming dynasty!”
Me: “...”
Help! I really wasn't planning a rebellion. Why is the whole world forcing me to become emperor?!
