Great Ming: Uncle Four, Don't Rebel. I Can Govern the Country Even While Daydreaming

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanying, the eldest imperial grandson, was critically ill, and the imperial physicians were powerless to help.

Zhu Yuanzhang wept until the heavens seemed to collapse, Zhu Biao’s hair turned white overnight, and the Ming imperial family was shrouded in grief.

Ye Fan, who had transmigrated into Zhu Yuanying, looked at the life in him about to flicker out when he heard a heavenly voice.

[The Longevity Qi-Nourishing Art is being simplified... Simplification complete... Longevity Art → Breathe!]

Zhu Yuanying took a deep breath.

[Longevity Art experience +1.]

[Longevity Art mastered! Immune to all illness, with a lifespan as long as the Southern Mountains!]

They had already prepared his coffin, but Zhu Yuanying suddenly sat up from his deathbed and wolfed down a big bowl of rice porridge.

Watching his eldest grandson run around full of life, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered the hand he had raised to have the imperial physician who delivered the decree executed. “Grandson, you’re... better?”

As long as you’re alive, you can grow stronger! The story’s tone gradually takes a turn:

[The Art of Commanding Troops is being simplified... Simplification complete... Commanding Troops → Play Go-Moku!]

[The Emperor’s Art of Statecraft is being simplified... Simplification complete... Emperor’s Art → Stare into space!]

At the Fengtian Hall,

with Hu Weiyong forming factions, Lan Yu throwing his weight around, and Fourth Uncle Zhu Di poised to make a move,

Zhu Yuanying stared into space and casually made a couple of moves on the board.

Crash!

Corrupt officials’ heads rolled, and the nations at the borders came to pay tribute!

Seeing the court manipulated like a plaything, Zhu Di trembled. “Father, I won’t rebel! My eldest nephew is a monster!”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily. “My grandson can govern the country just by staring into space. That’s what it means to be chosen by Heaven!”
