Great Ming: Zhu Di, You Can't Handle This Throne

Zhu Zhanhe transmigrates into the Ming dynasty as the son of Prince Han, Zhu Gaoxu, and the biological grandson of Prince of Yan Zhu Di!

With the Jingnan Campaign at a critical juncture, he knows how history will unfold and decides he absolutely won’t be cannon fodder. He’s going to fleece Fourth Grandfather Zhu until he’s got nothing left!

Before the battle, Zhu Di rallies his troops with great confidence: “Dear grandson, once I’ve taken Nanjing, I’ll make your father crown prince and you crown prince’s heir!”

Zhu Zhanhe curls his lip. “Grandpa, quit making empty promises! Once you take Nanjing, you’ll turn on us. You’ll trick my dad into a miserable end and roast my whole family! I’ll fight for you, but hand over your three thousand elite cavalry and the craftsmen from the firearms bureau!”

Zhu Di is so angry he nearly jumps out of his boots, but in the end he can only grit his teeth and hand them over.

Li Jinglong comes charging in with an army of five hundred thousand, and Zhu Di furrows his brows.

Zhu Zhanhe shouts, “Don’t panic, Grandpa! Li Jinglong is our supply convoy! Hand me command of the whole army, and I’ll show you how to seize everything the Jianwen Emperor has!”

Years later, Zhu Zhanhe leads a fully armed army equipped with firearms to Ying Tianfu. He kicks open the palace gates and throws on the imperial yellow robe. “Grandpa, this throne is too much for you to handle. Your good grandson will take the throne himself! You can relax and enjoy life as the Retired Emperor!”

Watching his grandson command a million troops, Zhu Di sinks into deep thought. “So this Jingnan Campaign of mine... was I really working for this little brat?!”
