A laboratory accident caused the soul of a modern science and engineering doctor to pass through the Ming Dynasty and become the eldest son of King Zhu Di of Yan - Zhu Gaochi.
The day I woke up happened to be April 25, the 25th year of Hongwu, when Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao passed away suddenly.
Facing the complicated situation at this moment, Zhu Gaochi knew that this was not only a crossroads in the fate of the Ming Dynasty, but also a turning point in his own destiny.
He has the foresight of six hundred years of history and is fully aware of the dangers ahead:
Next year, the Lan Jade case will cause a bloodbath in the court, and the Huaixi Xungui Group will be wiped out; soon after, Zhu Yunwen will be registered as the emperor's grandson. After ascending the throne, he will strictly cut down the vassal, step by step, and finally trigger the Jingnan War.
He knew his future better - he spent twenty years as a prince, walking on thin ice, suffering from scorn from his brothers, and finally ascended the throne and served as a short-lived emperor for ten months.
This time, Zhu Gaochi, armed with modern knowledge and historical insights, was unwilling to repeat the same mistakes.
Zhu Biao passed away and the reserve position was vacant. This was his only chance. In order to change his destiny against the will of heaven, and to build a great Ming Empire that spans the world and has never existed before, Zhu Gaochi stepped forward resolutely, faced the cowardly Zhu Yunwen, and embarked on a thrilling road to fight for the throne.
He used his scientific and engineering wisdom to improve firearms and purge officials. He used historical foresight to lay out the maritime frontier and appease the people. He used forbearance and sharpness to deal with the suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang, the talented Zhu Di and the eager brothers.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu's reign in Nanjing, storms were about to come. A fourteen-year-old boy will single-handedly reverse the fate of the Ming Dynasty, rewrite the fate of himself and the dynasty, and ultimately create an empire on which the sun never sets.
