Great Ming! The Imperial Clan's Grandson Battles for the Throne

Transmigrating to the fifteenth year of Hongwu, I become the Ming dynasty’s most unfortunate legitimate grandson: Zhu Yuntong.

My birth mother died young, my eldest brother was murdered, Lady Lu is watching me like a hawk, and the palace maids and eunuchs dare to poison me to my face.

The original owner was weak and ready to die, but now I’m here!

Armed with an Emperor’s Contest System, I overturn the plot to poison me in the Eastern Palace from the start!

Others rely on patience to win the succession. I, Zhu Yuntong, fight back head-on!

- They dare to poison me? I expose them on the spot and slap Lady Lu’s lackeys into the dirt!

- They dare to mistreat me? I show them the Chang family jade pendant, and my maternal uncle, the commander of the Imperial Guard, storms the palace to protect me!

- They dare to scheme? I have max-level mental powers and can see through people’s calculations at a glance!

While others farm, I build a powerful army. While others cultivate immortality, I make guns!

Starting with coal briquettes, soap, and cement, I unlock firearms, cannons, and telescopes, one step at a time!

While others are still fighting with swords and spears, I’ve already sent the Divine Machine Battalion sweeping across the land!

At court, I keep the civil officials in check, stabilize the nobility, keep Zhu Yuanzhang happy, and reassure my father, the Crown Prince.

On the battlefield, I lead northern campaigns against the Mongols, sweep away Japanese pirates in the east, pacify Annam in the south, and secure the Western Regions in the west.

In the inner palace, anyone who dares cause trouble gets dealt with. I call the shots in the Eastern Palace!

Zhu Yunwen? Lady Lu? The vassal princes? The civil officials?

Sorry, from today on, this Ming dynasty belongs to the Zhu family, and its ruler is Zhu Yuntong!
