Zhu Di Fakes His Death: Fourth Brother, Have You Become an Emperor for the Ages?

Zhu Gaoxi transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty and becomes Zhu Di's fourth son. He thought he would have to obediently leave the capital for his fief and live as a carefree prince. He never expected to awaken a System that lets him speak with historical luminaries from all kinds of eras and worlds: Li Er, the Khan of Heaven; Xiang Yu, the Hegemon King; Chancellor Zhuge Liang; and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang... Zhu Gaoxi immediately changes his mind. He wants to become emperor and command all the armies of the realm. Just as he plans to head to his fief and secretly build up his power, so that one day he can follow his father's example and launch a Jingnan campaign, Zhu Di obtains a System that can simulate the future fortunes of the Ming Dynasty. The first simulation prompt Zhu Di gets is “Feign Death.” He intends to fake his death to test Zhu Gaochi and see what the Ming Dynasty would be like without him. But after his fake death, the Ming Dynasty produces an emperor for the ages. Launch a Jingnan campaign. Seize his nephew's throne. Fourth in the family? Zhu Di is delighted. He assumes the people have realized how important he, the Yongle Emperor, was after he faked his death. But as the simulation goes deeper, the emperor for the ages turns out to be that little rascal, his fourth son? [Zhu Gaoxi launches a Jingnan campaign and knocks his nephew off the throne in just three months.] [Zhu Gaoxi is the rightful heir. Zhu Di passes the throne to him on his deathbed.] [Zhu Gaoxi had secretly placed Shadow Guards at Zhu Di's side long ago. After Zhu Di's death, the Shadow Guards play a crucial role.] [Zhu Gaoxi's biggest mistake is waiting too long to rebel. Deep down, he still reveres his father, Zhu Di.] Zhu Di stares at the simulator as it keeps praising Zhu Gaoxi, completely dumbfounded. So his being alive was what held back the Ming Dynasty's fortunes?
