In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Prince Zhu Biao died of illness.
On the same day, an ordinary person from later generations woke up in the East Palace.
He became Zhu Yunwen.
In that history book, Emperor Jianwen only served as emperor for four years and disappeared in the fire after the Yan King Zhu Di conquered Nanjing.
He knows the future:
Zhu Yuanzhang will die.
The kings will rebel.
Jingnan will arise.
The Jinchuan Gate will open.
And I will lose everything.
But when he really came to the Ming Dynasty in the last years of Hongwu, he discovered that——
The "Battle of Jingnan" in history was never as simple as "failure to reduce the vassal state".
This is an empire forcibly maintained by iron blood and suspicion:
The vassal king supports his troops and respects himself, but the northern army only recognizes the King of Yan;
Civil servants are fighting for power, and nobles and nobles have their own agendas;
Jinyiwei lurks in the shadows, and the entire world lives under the gaze of Emperor Hongwu.
And he was just a fifteen-year-old boy.
There is no system.
No firearm crushing.
There was no industrial revolution.
No one is really on his side.
The only thing he has,
Only "know that you will lose."
So, starting from the East Palace, he could only learn step by step:
How to be a royal grandson.
How to be an emperor.
How to be a surviving emperor.
But when he actually sat in that position, he gradually discovered:
He looks more and more like Zhu Yuanzhang.
He also looks more and more like Zhu Di.

"But lost to time."
