Ming Dynasty Tyrant: From the Start, I Storm the Eastern Palace in Heavy Armor

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Crown Prince Zhu Biao died, plunging the entire nation into grief.

Old Zhu was devastated, and the officials at court all assumed that the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen would take his place as crown prince.

But on the day of the funeral, the gates of the Fengtian Hall were smashed open by three thousand heavily armored death warriors!

A young man clad in black iron armor, radiating bloodlust, dragged a blood-red coffin into the hall.

“Grandfather, the Ming Dynasty doesn’t need a meek sheep. It needs a tyrant who dares to kill!”

The boy, Zhu Yunxuan, was the eldest of the twins secretly born to Consort Chang, and the true legitimate imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty!

To protect him from Lady Lu’s secret plots, Zhu Biao had sent him to live in the Jinyiwei’s death-row camp.

Now that his father had been murdered, he would hide his claws no longer!

In front of the entire court, Zhu Yunxuan kicked Lady Lu’s severed head into Zhu Yunwen’s face, drew his blade, and roared:

“Lady Lu poisoned my family! I’m the only one who can sit on the throne as heir. Anyone else who takes it will die!”

The entire court erupted in an uproar. The officials were terrified, all crying that this was treason!

They thought Old Zhu would rage and punish him, but when he saw his grandson, even more ruthless than himself, Old Zhu’s eyes reddened with excitement!

From that day on, the Ming Dynasty welcomed a battle-hardened god of slaughter.

He executed corrupt officials, subdued the princes, and destroyed the Oirats; developed firearms, lifted the maritime ban, and conquered the lands across the eastern sea!

Years later, when the Ming dragon banner flew across the globe, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, “With a grandson like this, I can die with no regrets!”
