Great Ming: What a Good Grandson! Govern the Country for Grandpa!

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang feels unwell and moves to the Qianqing Palace to recuperate, while ordering Crown Prince Zhu Biao to govern in his place.

During this time, Zhu Biao brings along his eldest son, Zhu Xiongying, letting him take part in state affairs and gain experience.

But gradually, the atmosphere at court starts to go awry.

"Land concentration needs to be dealt with. The great clans of our Ming dynasty must not be allowed to seize even an inch of the common people's land!"

"The fiefdom system has gone too far. Are we supposed to support the descendants of all these princes throughout the Ming dynasty? How is that any different from raising a herd of pigs?"

"The Ancestral Instructions of the Great Ming need some revisions too. What kind of nonsense is this? What if the civil officials of later generations use it to threaten the emperor?"

As Zhu Xiongying pushes ahead with sweeping reforms, Crown Prince Zhu Biao breaks out in a cold sweat. Son, stop helping your father govern! You're going to bring down the Ming dynasty!

But as each of these matters reaches the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang learns of his grandson Zhu Xiongying's various actions and immediately bursts into laughter.

"Isn't he far more capable than Biao'er?"

"Zhu Biao, can you even govern the country properly? Step aside!"

"Good grandson, govern in my place!"
