Great Ming: I Urged Zhu Di to Rebel and Built a Golden-Age Dynasty

After accidentally transmigrating into the Ming Dynasty as Zhu Gaoxu, grandson of the emperor and son of Prince of Yan Zhu Di, he plans to slack off and live a carefree life.

But Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen, favors scholars and spends his time on absurd, pointless endeavors, all while abolishing the princely fiefs.

For the sake of a happy life in the years to come, and to make his mark on the Ming Dynasty,

Zhu Gaoxu speaks eloquently on state affairs, analyzes the pros and cons, and urges Zhu Di to rebel.

Zhu Di: “I only wanted to punish the treacherous ministers and purge the court of corrupt officials. I never expected Xu’er to want to march into the northern deserts, conquer Annam, sail the western seas, and build an empire where the sun never sets.”

“Alas, I’ve only just realized how small my ambitions were.”

Xu Miaoyun: “Xu’er, this perfume smells wonderful, and that hot pot was delicious too. Have you been tinkering with more strange and wonderful things lately?”

Zhu Gaochi: “Second Brother, take charge of the court. You should also succeed me as Crown Prince.”

“I have no idea how to handle all those theories of governance, economic policies, business models, hydraulic projects, refined salt production, hybrid rice, farming and animal husbandry techniques, compulsory education, and steam engines you keep talking about!”
