Great Ming: Eight-Year-Old Rascal, Zhu Di Begs Me to Rule as Regent

He transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty and becomes Zhu Gaoyu, the eight-year-old youngest son of the Yongle Emperor, Zhu Di. All he wants is to live a comfortable life of leisure, but his sign-in System keeps giving him trouble: assassins from the Luo Network, flintlock cannons, networks of hidden informants… nothing but “troublesome” things. Just as his father returns victorious, his second brother plots to assassinate their eldest brother, the crown prince, and frame him for it. Zhu Gaoyu scratches his head and casually presents his father with a “six-barrel repeating cannon” he built himself as a congratulatory gift. Three cannons fire at once, driving off the assassins and foiling the plot. Zhu Di surveys the uproar across the city and the battered, bruised Embroidered Uniform Guards, then looks at his innocent-faced youngest son and falls into deep thought. The eldest is patient, the second is ambitious, and the third commands the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Undercurrents are swirling… As the struggle for the throne grows ever fiercer, Zhu Gaoyu is busy teasing a young lady descended from the Jianwen Emperor who has fallen into his hands, while counting the golden beans he swindled from the Prince of Han. Then one day, Zhu Di grabs him by the collar, holding a “Luo Network” token, and hauls him up to the throne. “You little brat, how long are you going to keep hiding your true self?” “Stop pretending. I'm going on a campaign, and you will govern the country in my stead!” Zhu Gaoyu blinks. “Dad, I just want to earn a little pocket money. I really don't want to govern the country!”
