Zhao Heng, a doctor of modern history, accidentally traveled through time during an archaeological accident and woke up to find that he was the fourth son of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, who was only six years old.
This man, known as the "Yongle Emperor" in history books, is now just a young boy who can't even walk steadily. To make matters worse, the mother was born in a humble background, the father was indifferent, the three brothers each had their own foundation, and more than twenty younger brothers were eyeing her. In this palace that eats people but doesn't spit out bones, for a powerless prince, life itself is a war.
But here he comes. With the memory and soul of modern people, with all the predictions of history, and with the fierceness of "I have died once, what should I be afraid of?", He decided to carve out a bloody way in this dark era.
Since official history says that I plotted rebellion, I will show you my plot.
From the age of six to sixty-four, from the neglected prince to the Yongle Emperor who conquered Mobei, from the jealousy of brothers to the life-and-death support of Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others, from the King of Yan in a corner of Peiping to the emperor who dominates the world - this is a story about ambition, human nature and destiny, and it is also an epic about how modern people maintain their true nature in the whirlpool of power and how they are changed by power.
Do you think you know Zhu Di? No, what you know is only a few strokes in the history books. The real story starts today.
