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

Chapter 231 Chaos Arises on the Grasslands
Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting for Li Shanchang to go too far, so that he could lead his men back to attack and use that as a pretext to take away Li Shanchang's position as prime minister.

Who would have thought that Zhu Xiong Ying was so capable? He had only been cooking for a short time when he kicked Li Shan Chang away.

Things got increasingly out of control after that, but through this incident, Zhu Xiong Ying also came into the public eye.

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised to discover that his eldest grandson was so promising.

He was very happy, so he relinquished many of his powers.

Now that three generations of the Ming Dynasty are all here, and there are no incompetent officials among them, he is naturally happy.

Empress Ma's imposing aura also relaxed. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't deliberately trying to harm his good son and grandson, everything else was fine.

"Xiongying has really done a great job lately. I never expected that a child could achieve this!"

"At first, I suspected that he had someone teaching him, after all, any one of the things he took out was astonishing!"

"But I sent people to investigate secretly, and I couldn't find the person behind it all. It wasn't until what U.A. did later that I believed U.A. really had that ability!"

"I never believed that there were people born with innate knowledge, but now that I've seen U.A., I know it's true!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Indeed, even at our age, we are no better than him. What that kid has done is quite impressive in terms of both skill and technique. With a little nurturing, he will definitely be a born emperor!"

At this point, Empress Ma asked about Prince Zhu Shuang of Qin.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned ashen. Under normal circumstances, he would never have agreed to such a thing. A prince of the Ming Dynasty marrying a princess of the Northern Yuan, who was also his mortal enemy, Kökö Temür, the man known as a remarkable man in the world.

If the people of the world found out about this, I would lose face terribly.

However, since Zhu Xiong Ying and Zhu Biao had pleaded for him on his behalf, and according to Zhu Xiong Ying's plan, it would only bring them benefits and no harm. It was just the position of a concubine, which was not a big deal.

"Since he likes the matter concerning the second son, as long as he can control it, I have nothing to say about Wang Baobao's sister. I originally wanted to arrange for him to marry Deng Yu's daughter, but the news that came from the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Western Depot was really hard to explain, so I had to give up on that idea!"

"In the end, it's my fault for letting my old brother down!"

After discussing it, they decided to hold the marriage ceremony between Minmin Timur and Prince Zhu Shuang of Qin in a while.

On the grasslands, Kökö Temür's life was extremely difficult. His tribe was already short of supplies, and if it weren't for the goods he had earned from trading with the Ming Dynasty, their situation would probably be even worse. However, the news that his sister had entered the Qin Prince's mansion and was about to become the Qin Prince's consort had spread, and now all the tribes on the grasslands regarded him as a traitor. Even their Great Yuan Emperor, Togus Temur, was extremely wary of him, which made him very depressed, yet he couldn't explain it.

At this moment, one of Kökö Temür's generals rushed over and said, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Our grain has been stolen!"

Kökö Temür's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. This grain was something he had painstakingly traded for with wool collected from the entire grassland. It was the lifeline of their tribe, how could it suddenly be lost? Could it be that some mountain bandits or brigands had robbed them?

"Who dares to touch my grain? They must have a death wish! Could it be that those Ming people don't want this grain to fall into our hands, so they sold it to us first and then robbed it!"

Upon hearing this, the general shook his head: "It seems to be not the Ming Dynasty army, but the Tuohuo Chi tribe. I know a few people from his tribe, and I saw them this time. They should be the elite of the Tuohuo Chi tribe!"

Kökö Temür gritted his teeth upon hearing this. This was the food that had saved his life. During this time, the Tuohuoqi tribe had heavily guarded against him and had even attacked him several times.

He had no intention of taking action against the Akabane, but to avoid causing trouble during this sensitive period, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Who would have thought that this person would dare to covet their grain supplies? "This is outrageous! Send men to gather an army to follow me and take back this grain!" Kökö Temür led his personal guards directly to the border between the Tuohuo Chi tribe and their tribe.

Kökö Temür looked at the army of the Tuohuochi tribe in front of him and shouted, "Where is your tribal chief Tuohuochi? Bring him here immediately!"

Not long after I left, a voice came from the other side: "Our leader has already gone to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, so he is naturally not in this place. If you have anything to say, just tell us and we will pass it on!"

When Kökö Temür heard this, his face turned extremely ugly. He knew very well that the old scoundrel Tuohuochi was definitely in this tribe, but he was too scared to see him.

It's even possible that this old scoundrel is hiding in the crowd, but with so much darkness in front of him, finding Tuo Huo Chi's whereabouts in this crowd won't be an easy task.

After listening, Kuokuo snorted coldly: "Our tribe's life-saving food supplies were almost delivered, but they were intercepted by your men. Since the leader of your Tuohuochi tribe is not here, then I have no choice but to take action against you!"

After saying that, he looked like he was about to take action.

This action startled the Tuohuoqi tribe. They had only been wondering if Kökö Temür could swallow this bitter pill.

After all, at this time, Kökö Temür was the common enemy of the grasslands, and no tribe was willing to help him.

Who would have thought that Kökö Temür would actually lead his men to attack?

The soldiers under Kökö Temür were veterans of countless battles, many of whom had even fought against the Ming army. Even the guards under their emperor, Togus Temur, could hardly compare to them.

If Kökö Temür really takes this opportunity to attack, he could very well wipe out his own tribe.

Tuohuochi stepped forward and shouted, "Your Highness Prince Qi, please don't make a move! We are all on the same side. If you make a move, wouldn't you be falling into the trap of the Ming people? Or are you saying that you, Kökö Temür, have already surrendered to the Ming!"

When Kökö Temür heard this, his face turned extremely ugly. He was the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and this was clearly a divisive tactic by the enemy. How could these guys not see it? They were really stupid.
