Zhu Linlang woke up from his dream and became Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty. Faced with the eager gaze of his fourth uncle, King Yan Zhu Di, the greed and corruption of the civil servant group in the DPRK, and the eagerness of the northern Oara, he knew full well the outcome of the "Battle of Jingnan" in the historical trajectory - a fire in the palace, and uncertainty about life and death.
But this time, with modern thinking, he was determined to change his destiny.
At the court, he ostensibly followed the advice of Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and other "pioneers in reducing the vassal", but secretly he had a far-reaching plan: on the one hand, he used the power of the Jin Yiwei to collect evidence of the vassal king's crimes, turning passivity into initiative; on the other hand, using family ties as a bond, he frequently wrote to Zhu Di, ostensibly asking for advice on state affairs, but in fact it was a paralyzing test, and he performed a conspiracy drama of "deep uncle-nephew love".
Outside the border, he prepared for rainy days, secretly developed firearms technology, and laid out the northern defense line, not only to defend against the feudal king's cavalry, but also to ward off foreign enemies.
Faced with the intricate system of civil servant corruption, he skillfully implemented a series of schemes and used his own strength to check and balance the corrupt Confucian group and the feudal kings' forces, gradually taking economic and military power into his hands.
Let's see how Zhu Linlang used modern wisdom to break the deadlock of history, walking the tightrope between reducing the vassal state and maintaining stability, reform and conservatism, and finally succeeded in reducing the vassal state, creating a prosperous Ming Dynasty in which all nations surrendered and all nations came to the dynasty!
