Chu Ze accidentally transmigrates to the Hongwu era and becomes a newly appointed registrar!
Faced with the Hongwu Emperor, who treats killing officials like child's play, Chu Ze gives up resisting outright!
Instead, he chooses to reveal that he's a transmigrator.
Old Zhu: "You say you're from the future. Then tell me, what becomes of my Great Ming?"
Chu Ze: "Your Majesty, your Great Ming starts with a bowl and ends with a rope. It rose in a blaze of glory, but still fell in the end!"
Old Zhu: "Then answer me this: how will my Crown Prince govern the country? Will Biao'er disappoint me?"
Chu Ze: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry. Crown Prince Zhu Biao died young. He had the makings of a wise ruler, but he passed away before you."
Old Zhu: "That can't be... Then, after Biao'er was gone, who became emperor?"
Chu Ze: "After that... well..."
As he spoke, Chu Ze turned his gaze toward the future Yongle Emperor standing nearby.
Under Chu Ze's stare, Zhu Di looked confused and pointed at himself.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
