In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Crown Prince Zhu Biao dies young.
As Zhu Yuanzhang is overcome with grief, he unexpectedly binds himself to the [Great Ming Destiny Simulator System].
Old Zhu simulates the future of his grandson, Zhu Yunwen, only to see him strip the vassal princes of their power, drive his own uncle to death, then burn himself and lose the empire!
He simulates the future of his fourth son, Zhu Di. Though it brings the Yongle golden age, the treasury is emptied, and one of his descendants becomes the “Emperor Who Called on the Gate,” disgracing the Zhu family!
Old Zhu is so enraged he nearly spits blood. On a whim, he simulates the future of Zhu Gaoshuo, the fourth son of the Prince of Yan, who is being held hostage in the capital.
This time, Old Zhu is utterly shaken!
In the simulation, steel warships rule the seas, while the Ming flag, over which the sun never sets, flies across the globe!
The Ming launches an industrial revolution, and generations to come revere Zhu Gaoshuo as an “emperor for the ages”!
For the sake of the Ming’s eternal foundations, Old Zhu decisively names Zhu Gaoshuo as his successor, skipping a generation!
But worried that his grandson is too young, he decides to make his fourth son, Zhu Di, a “placeholder emperor” who can lay the groundwork.
And so the Ming’s course takes a bizarre turn.
Far away in Beiping, Zhu Di receives secret edicts from Old Zhu one after another, with increasingly blatant hints: “Fourth Son, make more weapons, recruit soldiers in secret. If all else fails, your father will help you rebel!”
Zhu Di trembles every day: “Is Father trying to entrap me? Why is staying alive so hard?”
At last, Zhu Di is forced by his own father to “rebel under imperial orders” and successfully takes the throne.
When he looks back, he discovers that his seemingly harmless fourth son, Zhu Gaoshuo, has already secretly seized control of the empire’s economy and its army of firearms!
Zhu Di is dumbfounded: “So my fourth son is the true Son of Heaven?”

Pure AI, no modifications at all, Hongwu actually has a cabinet, it makes me laugh to death
It's full of Qing Dynasty flavor. If you don't know how to use AI to speak directly, don't feed it information about Qing Dynasty dramas.
Too many typos
The preface does not match the postscript
It's really wrong.
The preface is incorrect and the postscript is incorrect. In the previous picture, Zhu Yunwen was demoted to a commoner. The latter one came to life again to cause chaos!!!!!
Too watery and too routine
