The Emperor's Brother Was in Ruins, but the Ming Sun Never Set

Zhu Shou traveled through time and became the eldest son of Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty who died young, and his determination to save his life was completely shattered. He pretended to be ill and resigned as prince, shied away from government affairs and was idle all day long. Unexpectedly, the people around me are all crazy. He casually complained about the sea ban that led to the "limited sea opening", hid in banquets and pretended to be sick to expose the corruption of the Imperial Hospital, and the other hospital he built was used as a secret scientific research base. The worse he behaves, the more people around him interpret his every excuse as a far-sighted plan. The Ming Dynasty rose quietly due to his "inaction": its fleet traveled to and from Southeast Asia without any injuries, blast furnace steelmaking was made a hundred years ahead of schedule, and its navy spanned the four seas. His younger brother Zhu Houzhao regarded him as his lifelong idol. After he ascended the throne, he said eloquently: "Everything the emperor brother says must be the truth." When the Ming Dynasty became an empire on which the sun never set, the wave of petitions from the government and the public to "make the virtuous King Shou king" pushed the two brothers to the cliff. Faced with the death situation of the powerful master, Zhu Shou plans to finally escape. After a night of secret talks in Qianqing Palace, King Shou "died suddenly" and the whole country mourned. No one knows that on the blue waves of the East China Sea, an unknown merchant ship is sailing away. There is a young man in white standing on the bow of the boat. Zhu Shou looked at the boundless sea and sky, and slowly raised the corners of his lips. After spending half his life, he came back as an imperial brother. On this country where the sun never sets, I will trouble Your Majesty from now on.
