Great Ming: I Was About to Rebel, and You Say I’m the Crown Prince?

I transmigrated to the Ming Dynasty, where Zhu Jing made a fortune with water-powered spinning and lived the good life.

Until one day, a man who looked exactly like him arrived by boat to investigate him, claiming to be a great general...

He rushed over on the spot. "Dad! You're finally back!"

Zhu Di stared at the boy who looked exactly like him, completely dumbfounded.

I came here to investigate a case. How did I suddenly get a son?

He'd thought that from then on, he'd have a real father to rely on in the Ming Dynasty. Instead, Zhu Di started camping out in his courtyard every day.

"Son, this waterwheel is pretty good. Hand it over."

"These potatoes yield a lot. Let's spread them everywhere!"

"This steelmaking method... Son, how much other good stuff have you got? Bring it all out. Your dad's going to carve out a vast territory for you!"

Zhu Jing looked at the telescope, gunpowder, steam engine, and more in his System...

This was bad. His shameless adopted dad planned to squeeze him dry!

Was this really just getting a new father? Hadn't he actually taken in a bandit?

Dad, why don't you rebel?

You're a general, and I've got money and grain. You handle the army, I'll handle the finances. There's no reason someone else couldn't take a seat on the Ming throne!

Zhu Di: ???

Looking at the plan for a rebellion his bargain-bin son had handed him, Zhu Di fell into deep thought.

He'd gone through so much trouble to seize the throne, and now this brat wanted to drag him into another rebellion?!
