I was reborn as the Ming dynasty’s most useless prince, exiled to the frontier to await my death.
Three years later, an army of a hundred thousand cavalry came thundering south to the pass.
Chongzhen: “Jingxuan, I can’t hold on to my realm!”
Zhu Jingxuan: “Your Majesty, stay on your throne. Your younger brother will defend the realm!”
Crush the rebels, pacify the northern barbarians, lift the ban on maritime trade, and promote science and technology.
Wear the yellow robe? No. This prince just wants to live freely.
But the new emperor trembled. “Imperial Uncle, you really don’t want the throne?”
Zhu Jingxuan: “Defending the realm is more carefree than sitting on the throne. But…”
“The military power of the realm must remain in the hands of the Zhu family.”
