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

Chapter 469 Zhu Yunwen Takes Up His Post

Zhu Yunwen firmly believed that the position would still be his in the future. Thinking of this place, he felt a little excited and looked at the princess in front of him.

"I am truly sorry for what happened earlier. I haven't quite recovered from what just happened. But since the decision has been made, we can only face it together from now on. Of course, once we arrive at our fiefdom in the south, I will visit my parents-in-law. It would be best if we could gain their support!"

Upon hearing this, the princess of the Khmer Empire was momentarily stunned, feeling somewhat worried. After all, she had not yet informed Zhu Yunwen of the news from home, and they were unaware of these changes. However, she could not reveal these matters under any circumstances. With this thought in mind, the princess of the Khmer Empire nodded.

Not long after, the emperor's decree arrived, and they decided to leave the place. Everyone was shocked to see Zhu Yunwen leave Yingtian Prefecture so decisively.

It's worth noting that Zhu Yunwen has always coveted that position, so his decision to leave is somewhat unbelievable to them.

I thought Zhu Yunwen would try to delay in various ways to avoid leaving, but I didn't expect him to be so decisive this time.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was also very surprised when he learned of this news.

"Strange, why is this guy suddenly in such a hurry?"

"I remember he never wanted to leave!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao smiled and said.

"Isn't that simple? He never gave up on this opportunity, even after I transferred Qi Tai away from him!"

"However, he had other ideas in his mind!"

"The Khmer Empire is also very powerful, and he wants to use its strength to enhance his own!"

"When I am strong enough, I will return to Yingtian Prefecture to compete for this position!"

Knowing son Moruo father.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was fully aware of Zhu Xiong Ying's thoughts and was not surprised at all.

Upon learning this news, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

It seems he still doesn't understand the gap between himself and Xiong Ying. Even if he could obtain this position by relying on the Khmer Empire, which general or official in the court would be willing to submit to him?

More importantly, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe that he had this ability.

At this moment, he turned his gaze to the Crown Prince Zhu Biao beside him.

Both of them are his children, and he loves them both equally, so it's indeed a difficult choice.

"Biao'er, I know it's really difficult for you to choose between the two of them, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, we have no choice but to do this!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this.

"Please rest assured, Father, I know how to handle this matter. I will write a letter to Mu Ying later and ask him to deal with it. If Yunwen can stay put, this matter may not affect him!"

"But if he overestimates himself, he can't blame anyone else. The fate of our Great Ming Dynasty will absolutely not be affected!"

Soon Zhu Yunwen and the Khmer princess returned to their fiefdom in the south.

This area was recently occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and now it has been directly granted to him, along with a battalion of soldiers.

Of course, having just entered this secluded area, Zhu Yuwen did not have enough money, so Mu Ying was temporarily in charge of the army's food and supplies.

Despite relieving him of such a great deal of pressure, Zhu Yunwen, upon arriving at this place and looking at his territory, felt as if he wanted to cry. The area wasn't particularly large, and the population was small.

More importantly, apart from ordinary people, there are no nobles in this place.

The houses were all dilapidated, and even the palace he was given was very ordinary.

This made him feel very frustrated.

Although she was not as favored as Zhu Xiong Ying from childhood to adulthood, she was still considered to have lived a life of luxury.

"When have you ever suffered like this?" He turned to the Khmer princess beside him and asked.

"My wife, we can't go on like this. Life here is really hard for us to get used to. In my opinion, we should go and talk to your father about this matter as soon as possible. With his support, our strength will definitely become stronger. If we ascend to that position, you will be the Empress, the most noble woman in the world!"

Upon hearing this, the Khmer princess was somewhat tempted, but her relationship with the Khmer emperor had not yet improved. After thinking about this, she hesitated for a moment before revealing the matter.

Zhu Yunwen's face turned extremely ugly after hearing these words.

I also felt like I had been tricked.

The reason you came to this place is to use the power of the Khmer Empire to expand your own strength.

But if things really break down with the Khmer Empire, he will no longer have any power to rely on, and then how will he deal with Zhu Xiong Ying?

This is what he said angrily to the Khmer princess.

"You mean your father hasn't agreed to this yet!"

"Why did I keep this from you? Do you know how much you've hurt me?"

Seeing the change in Zhu Yunwen's expression, the Khmer princess hurriedly explained.

"This is nothing. They've always doted on me since I was little!"

"Moreover, you are now a prince of the emperor's family, and I believe that one title is enough. If I were to go back and persuade my father and mother, they would definitely support us!"

Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and not long after, the two of them arrived at the Khmer Empire.

Even after learning this news, the emperor of the Khmer Empire still looked very grim.

He had originally thought his plan could completely resolve the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Khmer Empire, but this happened.

The days that followed were going to be tough. Although Zhu Yunwen was also a grandson of the emperor, his status was far inferior to that of Zhu Xiong Ying.

Upon learning of their return, the Emperor of the Khmer Empire spoke angrily.

"Let them go!"

"I thought she was still somewhat useful, but who would have thought she would be so foolish."

The fact that the Ming army is now making moves on the border is causing him great anxiety.

Although no large-scale battles had occurred, the successive small battles had terrified him. The Ming army's fighting power was simply too terrifying, and they were no match for them. If the Ming army continued to fight like this, they would be completely annihilated.
