Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yunteng, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is unwilling to accept a tragic fate for himself and begins to find ways to build power and prepare for rebellion.
<...In a daze, Zhu Yunwen had a dream.
He dreamed that he had traveled through time, was reading the history of the Ming Dynasty under a tree, and was struck by lightning and fell into a deep abyss.
It seems he has become another Zhu Yunwen, the Zhu Yunwen of history.
Although they share the same name, their identities are worlds apart.
In the 21st century, he was just an ordinary loser.
Zhu Yunwen of the Ming Dynasty was the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the son of Zhu Biao, the most stable and powerful crown prince in history.
...
The dream was very long, as if it merged him with reality, making him realize that he had really traveled through time.
When he groggily woke up and the antique bed frame came into view again, his mind was incredibly clear, and the idea of traveling back to ancient times kept popping into his head.
He tried to sit up, but an excited voice rang out beside him:
"Yunwen, you're awake!"
Zhu Yunwen turned his head and saw a chair next to the bed, with a small old man in his fifties sitting on it.
The old man was dressed in a gold-embroidered robe, with a jade belt around his waist and a black gauze winged crown on his head. He had an imposing and dignified air about him, which seemed to be always on his face.
It also carried a hint of compassion, and a quickly suppressed anger.
Really, did we time travel?
For a moment, Zhu Yunwen didn't even dare to speak, after all, this sudden turn of events was so unfamiliar.
If you use inappropriate words, it will be bad.
"Yunyi, how are you feeling? The imperial physician said that your health has suddenly improved, which must be a sign of Heaven's mercy, unwilling to let our Great Ming Dynasty perish in the future!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words left Zhu Yunwen completely bewildered.
After a brief moment of thought, he realized that this was indeed the Ming Dynasty.
The other party is clearly the emperor.
He found himself transported to the Ming Dynasty imperial family, where he was known as Zhu Yunwen.
Then there's only one possibility.
The emperor before me is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
So he tentatively called out:
"Grandfather..."
"Hmm? Yunwen, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Tell me!"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless and decisive in killing.
However, to be fair, he has always been very good to his family, especially Zhu Yunwen, who is Zhu Biao's son. Because he loves Zhu Yunwen, he also likes this grandson very much.
Zhu Yunwen confirmed his suspicions, saying, "My mind is a little confused..."
Just to give you a heads-up, since we're not from this world, we might feel out of place later. That's why my mind is a bit muddled. It'll be easier to explain any inappropriate behavior or words later.
"It's alright, you should get some rest!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, slowly putting down a book he was holding.
"History of Ming Dynasty"
Zhu Yunwen narrowed his eyes slightly. Wasn't that the book he read before he transmigrated?
Did Zhu Yuanzhang read this book?
Isn't this ridiculous? The founding emperor actually read through the history of his country for the next two hundred years?
No wonder I found Zhu Yuanzhang's expression complicated when I woke up.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen and sighed:
"You get some rest, Grandpa will come to see you again tonight!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, glanced solemnly at Zhu Yunwen, turned around, picked up the History of Ming, and left with a heavy heart.
At this moment, a young palace maid of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked in, bowed to Zhu Yunwen, and said:
"Your Highness, it's so good that you're alright. Are you hungry?"
Zhu Yunwen was indeed a little hungry, after all, he didn't know how long he had slept, so he nodded.
The young palace maid smiled sweetly and said:
"Then I'll make you some noodles..."
Zhu Yunwen glared and exclaimed, "This wicked feudal society! This filthy royal life! I love it!!!"
...
Meanwhile, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his study with the History of Ming in his hand.
After sitting down, he closed his eyes and began to sort out the day's events.
"Xiong Ying's early death was strange, Chang Shi's death was sudden back then, and Yun Tong's illness today is suspicious. Although we can't find any clues, we can't help but suspect that it's related to Lü Shi..."
When Lady Chang died, Lady Lü became the Crown Princess, and Lady Lü's son became the legitimate heir.
If Zhu Yunwen were to die today, Lü's son, Zhu Yunwen, would inevitably remain the crown prince.
Chang's eldest son, Zhu Xiong Ying, died young, and Chang herself also died. Today, she almost lost another son.
Lady Lü and her three sons, however, were perfectly fine.
This couldn't help but make the naturally suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang think twice.
"Fortunately, Heaven took pity on Zhu Yuanzhang and sent down a thunderbolt to protect my grandson Yunzhuo and keep him safe."
Fortunately, the future of our Great Ming Dynasty was blessed by Heaven; a bolt of lightning brought forth this History of the Ming Dynasty!
He opened the History of Ming.
He saw everything above.
From the time Zhu Yunwen was made the crown prince to his death, everything exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations.
After Zhu Yunwen became emperor, although he implemented the policy of appointing officials, he immediately and impatiently began to reduce the power of the princes.
If you're going to reduce the power of the princes, then start with the strongest one, Zhu Di, and catch him off guard.
But Zhu Yunwen insisted on doing things differently. In addition, his civil officials were all incompetent, so he insisted on starting with the weakest and leaving the strongest for last, allowing Zhu Di to develop in a lowly and unassuming manner.
Therefore, Zhu Di rebelled.
Logically speaking, the probability of Zhu Di's rebellion succeeding was not that high.
But as the saying goes, Zhu Yunwen was the sixth son, and everyone around him was also a sixth son.
The series of actions of the sixth prince not only failed to stop Zhu Di from rebelling, but also provided various forms of divine assistance.
Under Zhu Yunwen's leadership and with the help of a group of civil officials, they were able to achieve their goals.
Zhu Di marched south and successfully rebelled...
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.
A domineering grandfather, a wise father, how did a sixth grandson suddenly appear?
The key point is that after Zhu Di became emperor, although he had many achievements, he also made Zhu Yuanzhang somewhat satisfied.
