The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 211 The Grassland Struggle for Wool
Hearing this, Wang Yuemin felt extremely conflicted, looking at Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang, with a complicated expression.

"I didn't mean to deceive you, it's just that my brother is Kökö Töre, a Yuan dynasty man, and my surname is Timur. It's all my fate!"

King Zhu Shuang of Qin stared intently at Wang Yuemin.

"Since Kökö dared to send you here, it must be for an important mission. I'm guessing it's to assassinate my father, my elder brother, or Xiong Ying. But are all three of them your targets?"

"Is even I, the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, on your assassination list?!"

Wang Yuemin hurriedly denied it.

"No, I never intended to harm you from the beginning. I just thought that as the Prince of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, you must know a lot about the affairs of the court. Perhaps I could use this as a breakthrough to find out more information!"

"So when we went hunting before, I didn't let you go, partly for your safety and partly because I didn't want you to get involved!"

King Zhu Shuang of Qin was overjoyed to hear this, realizing that there was indeed affection between the two of them.

"I am very pleased that you could say these things!"

"However, I hope this is the last time!"

Wang Yuemin's face turned deathly pale. Now that her true identity had been discovered, her death seemed imminent.

"If you intend to kill me, could you please send my body back to the north?"

King Zhu Shuang of Qin burst into laughter.

"You silly girl, if you die, what will happen to my queen?"

"Don't worry, Father already knows about this and is willing to let you be my queen!"

"From this moment on, you are no longer allowed to participate in the struggle between the Ming and Yuan dynasties!"

"I know you control the Scout Command, but now the Scout Command has been almost completely wiped out, and the remaining forces can't cause any more trouble!"

"So you'll just stay in the Qin Prince's Palace and be a Qin Princess. I guarantee your safety as long as you don't get involved in the conflicts between the two countries!"

Wang Yuemin never expected it to end like this.

They knew their true identities, yet they still chose to let them go.

"But you are only the Prince of Qin of the Ming Dynasty. Many things in the Ming Dynasty are not up to you to decide. Do the Crown Prince Zhu Biao and the Grandson Zhu Xiong Ying also agree to this?"

Having been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, he has a very clear understanding of the situation there.

Zhu Yuanzhang's position was very stable. He controlled almost the entire army of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, wanted to rebel, he would have absolutely no chance of succeeding.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao's abilities surpass those of all the current vassal kings, and all the vassal kings have complete trust in him.

As long as Crown Prince Zhu Biao is still alive, none of these vassal kings will rebel.

Although the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiong Ying, was young, his control over the court was no less than that of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

His shadow is evident in all the recent events, and I'm afraid my exposure is more or less related to him.

Under these circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for the Yuan Dynasty to launch a counterattack.

I don't know where Boyalunhai is now. I failed, and now he is the only one who has a chance of succeeding.

Soon, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the government and the public.

King Zhu Shuang of Qin was betrothed to Minmin Temur, the younger sister of Kökö Tölü.

The court officials were all incredulous when they heard the news.

Throughout his history, Zhu Yuanzhang had primarily chosen the children of noble families from Huaixi as marriage partners to consolidate his power. Only now, with the empire at peace, did he shift his focus from the military elites of Huaixi to civil officials and gentry.

But to everyone's surprise, the King of Qin's marriage partner this time was Wang Baobao's sister.

After this news spread, the entire court was abuzz with discussion and people were extremely opposed to it.

As the last great general of the Yuan Dynasty, Kökö Temür was the one who caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer defeats in its many northern expeditions.

However, he has now formed a marriage alliance with his enemy, which has drawn a lot of opposition, especially from the nobles of Huaixi.

Of course, there were others who reacted even more violently, namely the envoys from the northern tribes.

Gu Shiwen, the envoy from the Tuohuochi tribe, looked extremely grim.

"I knew Bayan Bo was untrustworthy. Now the truth is out! The Prince of Qi's sister actually married the Prince of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, and she's even his principal wife. This Prince of Qi, Kuoko, must have some kind of secret deal with the Ming Dynasty!"

The people from each tribe nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

It seems that what Zhu Xiong Ying and Bayan Bo discussed earlier was this matter.

What a great window film with an extended profile.

On the surface, he was a loyal subject of the Yuan Dynasty, but in reality, he secretly colluded with the Ming Dynasty.

Bayanbo's face was extremely ugly. Not many people knew that his princess had secretly gone to the Ming Dynasty, and no one expected that the princess would be exposed.

Moreover, despite being exposed, she was still made the principal wife of the Prince of Qin of the Ming Dynasty by Zhu Yuanzhang, which is really too outrageous.

From this moment forward, it seems that Kökö Temür has truly become the target of public criticism.

Bayan Bo was extremely anxious, so he visited the envoys of various tribes one after another.

These messengers avoided Bayan Bo as if he were a tiger, leaving Bayan Bo with no way to express his grievances.

The only option was to send someone on horseback to inform King Kökö Temür of this matter.

A powerful tribe of hundreds of thousands of people is located here on the northern grasslands.

This tribe was the tribe of Kökö Temür.

His previous defeat in the war against Xu Da not only resulted in heavy losses of his troops, but also deprived him of the chance to survive on the border of the Ming Dynasty. He had no choice but to flee north to this place.

Despite these years of recovery efforts, the power of his tribe remains very weak.

Kökö Temür looked at the map in his hand, his eyes filled with resentment.

Since his defeat in the battle against Xu Da and the subsequent weakening of his power, even the current emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Togus Temur, no longer trusts him. Furthermore, there is a figure named Nairbuhua who is stirring up trouble on the sidelines.

His life is not easy right now.

If the Ming Dynasty were to launch another Northern Expedition at this time, it would be very difficult for them to hold out. The best way to hold out would be to withdraw from this place and move all troops to the banks of the Onon River. This way, they could unite with the Doyan Three Guards to the east, the Tuohuoqi tribe to the south, and even rely on the strength of the Khorchin in the north.

Even if the Ming Dynasty continued to send large armies to suppress them, he had enough confidence to drive the Ming army back.

Unfortunately, when he told Tuohuo Chi about his idea...

This guy actually refused, using the excuse that he didn't want to leave his ancestral homeland.

Kökö Temür's face was extremely grim.

Tuohuo has always been worried that he will be annexed by Tuohuo, so now most of his troops are stationed in the border areas, which shows that he completely distrusts Tuohuo.
