My Father Is Yongle: Building a Happy Family of Five

The story begins in the 24th year of the Hongwu reign? The protagonist is only seven years old when Zhu Yuanzhang dies. How can the plot develop and be structured like this? Are they just gambling on a 100% success rate for the Jingnan Rebellion based on history?

The fourth son inherits the throne 🤔

With such a background and knowledge of history, if you don't even try to fight back, you might as well just find a knife and slit your own throat.

There's no need to wait any longer, everyone. The author has been detained and is currently in a detention center, awaiting trial and sentencing.

Yeah, I quickly read the whole thing in about 60 minutes. It feels a bit like that book I read before, "My Father, Emperor Gaozu of Han." I couldn't get into that one; it felt like the characters were trying too hard to understand the political situation, a bit silly, and pretending to be smart. The protagonist in this book is clever, though.

Zhu Di (the fourth son of the Zhu family) was a legitimate heir to the throne. He had already outlived his eldest, second, and third sons. If Zhu Di had been powerful enough in the 30th year of the Hongwu reign, the position of crown prince would have been practically his. However, Zhu Di's opportunistic actions in history directly ruined this opportunity.

Short and weak, are there any similar ones?

The Jingnan Rebellion was just over, and you cut it off? Even if you had held a grand enthronement ceremony for Zhu Di, a poorly executed one would have been better than a eunuch.

There are a lot of young guys out there lately, and I quite like them.

Why did you stop writing? I thought it was very well written.
