Great Ming's Imperial Grandson: After Rejecting the Marriage, I Slaughter the Entire Court

I transmigrated to the Ming Dynasty and became the most beloved eldest legitimate grandson of the Zhu family: Zhu Xiongying! Above me, I have Empress Ma, a fiercely protective champion; beside me, my doting father, Crown Prince Zhu Biao; and below me, the decisive Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang! As the Ming Dynasty's ultimate favorite, Zhu Xiongying had planned to coast through life as a good-for-nothing playboy. But then the old Zhu started playing matchmaker, insisting on betrothing Xu Miaoyun, Xu Da's daughter, to him! Knowing history, Zhu Xiongying refused on the spot! That single refusal infuriated Xu Da and sent shock waves through the court. Even the old Zhu chased him around the palace, swatting at him with a shoe sole. So what? Empress Ma and Zhu Biao protected him fiercely, leaving the officials with nothing to do but stare! But the good times didn't last... The force of history's correction arrived. Empress Ma died of illness, and Crown Prince Zhu Biao suddenly “fell ill” and died! As the entire nation mourned, the old Zhu, heartbroken, issued an edict passing the throne to Zhu Xiongying! At the coronation, the Jiangnan civil official faction secretly rejoiced, thinking the young emperor would be easy to manipulate and planning to seize control of the throne. But the man who appeared before them was Zhu Xiongying, drawing the Son of Heaven's sword! In court, the new emperor roared like thunder and dropped a bombshell: “My father did not die of illness! You civil officials poisoned him!” “Deliver My secret edict! Order Prince of Yan Zhu Di and Prince of Jin Zhu Gang to lead a hundred thousand cavalry into the capital! Order Duke of Wei Xu Da to seal the nine gates!” “Today, I will have every official in this court buried with the late emperor!!!” That day, the capital ran red with blood. From the most beloved child to a ruthless emperor, Zhu Xiongying wielded the butcher's blade to purge the civil officials, bound the princes to him with shared interests, and laid a grand scheme to build a Ming Dynasty before which all nations would pay tribute, an empire where the sun never set!
