Reborn as the son of Zhu Yong, Duke of Chengguo of the Great Ming, he thought he could lie flat and enjoy life as a scion of the nobility. Instead, he turned out to be a lowborn son of a maid, with no chance to lie flat at all.
In the fourteenth year of Zhengtong, the Tumu Crisis erupted. The Duke of Chengguo was charged with a crime and stripped of his title. Almost all the noble families at court were swept away, and the path to nobility was well and truly closed.
With no powerful patron to rely on, he could only depend on himself. A true man born between Heaven and Earth cannot languish beneath others forever!
The world has its Threefold Laureates, but never its Sixfold Champion. As enemy cavalry closes in on the capital, he will take command of the Great Ming, turn the tide when all seems lost, and save the empire from collapse!
