Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"Biao'er."

Looking at this face that was 70% similar to Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a lump in his throat and his voice choked up.

The emperor who rushed out from the army actually felt like crying at this moment.

"What happened to Lao Zhu?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's red eyes, Zhu Ming's sleepiness was relieved a lot.

If it weren't for his status as the Son of Heaven, Old Zhu would be just an old man now.

Zhu Yuanzhang experienced all the saddest things in life, losing his father and mother in his childhood and becoming an orphan, losing his wife in his middle age, and losing his son in his old age.

"Are you crying?"

Zhu Ming stretched out his hand with some sadness and waved it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Ming waving his hand, he directly held Zhu Ming's hand and rubbed it on his face.

"It would have been great if you had been born a few years earlier."

With Zhu Ming's comfort, Zhu Yuanzhang finally smiled and started joking.

If Zhu Ming had come earlier, he could have trained him well. If he was smart enough, he could have handed over the country to this child.

Unfortunately, it's too late now.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was old. At over sixty years old, he was already considered very old.

He didn't know whether he could still watch the child grow up.

He was also afraid that after his death, Zhu Ming, who was still young, would be dragged into court struggles.

This lonely man in the imperial family is not called that for nothing.

Throughout the dynasties, there were few princes and grandchildren who were able to be friendly and respectful to their brothers.

Even a man as wise and brave as Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, could not avoid fratricide.

"We are the ones who made you suffer."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he owed Zhu Ming, and reached out and touched Zhu Ming's head with heartache.

"His Majesty……"

Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at Zhu Ming sadly when Yun Qi's voice rang out behind him.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately put away his tender look and looked back at Yun Qi with a stern face.

The speed at which his expression changed was so fast that Zhu Ming had to sigh. He was worthy of being an emperor. His expression changed so quickly.

This is probably the mindset of an emperor.

"Go ahead."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yunqi coldly and asked in a deep voice.

Behind Yunqi, there were more than a dozen men and women following, led by a young eunuch who looked about thirteen years old.

"Your Majesty, I have already chosen the person. This is my godson, named Liu Jin."

Yun Qi said this respectfully as he pulled the young eunuch to his side.

Zhu Ming knew this relationship.

Eunuchs cannot have children, so they like to find young eunuchs they like and make them their godsons.

Many eunuchs later did the same thing.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked Liu Jin up and down.

Although he is not strong, he is not thin either. He is quiet and gentle, looks clean and smart.

"This guy has been smart since he was young, and he can see things clearly. He can also be used to serve tea and water. He also learned boxing for a few years, which will be useful in the future when he plays with the emperor's grandson or protects him."

Watching Zhu Yuanzhang looking at Liu Jin, Yun Qi also praised the young eunuch.

The fact that he entrusted such a task to this young eunuch showed that he truly loved this guy.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Yun Qi's love for Liu Jin and nodded.

Zhu Ming also knew that Old Zhu seemed quite satisfied with this young eunuch.

"Okay, that's him."

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand, pointed at Liu Jin, nodded, and said loudly.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you kneel down and thank the emperor for his grace!"

Yun Qi was smart and reacted quickly, kicking Liu Jin's knee excitedly.

Liu Jin staggered and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

After saying this, he kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang again.

The funny looks of Yunqi and Liu Jin were so funny that not only Zhu Ming but also Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

"Just these few."

Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to pick other people. He was still confident in Yunqi's ability to get things done.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The other eunuchs and palace maids also responded respectfully.

They have seen how much Zhu Yuanzhang loves this child these days.

Being able to serve the emperor's grandson also means that they can rise to prominence.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but dance with joy as he watched Zhu Yuanzhang arrange these eunuchs and palace maids to take care of him.

The chubby little hands waved, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel soft-hearted again.

"From now on, this child will live with us in Daming Palace. You guys pack your things and prepare to move in."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, even Yun Qi, who had been serving him, was dumbfounded.

Even Zhu Yunwen, the most favored eldest grandson of the emperor, had never lived in the Daming Palace.

It seems that Old Zhu really loves this kid and wants to make up for the debt he feels towards him.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jin still has such luck.

Zhu Ming was also confused.

Living with Lao Zhu in the Daming Palace, no matter how cute you are, this treatment is not normal.

But he had no objection. Under Lao Zhu's command, the first priority was to survive.

"Your Majesty has spoken, why don't you go pack your things!"

Seeing that Liu Jin and other eunuchs and palace maids were still kneeling on the ground, he put on a look of disappointment and kicked Liu Jin on the butt.

Liu Jin and the others finally reacted and said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang one by one and left.

Zhu Ming laughed out loud. It seemed that this clever Liu Jin was not so clever after all.

"Our dear grandson is even cuter when he smiles."

Zhu Yuanzhang was attracted by Zhu Ming's laughter and couldn't help pinching Zhu Ming's little fat face.

Zhu Ming also felt helpless. Does this Old Zhu have an addiction to pinching people?

"Yunqi, come walk with us."

After teasing Zhu Ming for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly put Zhu Ming back into the cradle and turned around to look at Yun Qi.

"Yes."

Yun Qi responded and followed Zhu Yuanzhang out the door.

Not sure if it was an illusion, Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's back, and just for a moment, he seemed to feel a murderous intent.

But when I think about it, I feel relieved because Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor who killed the most people.

Zhu Yuanzhang led Yunqi and slowly walked into the imperial garden, with only a few guards following behind them.

Yunqi bent his body and waited quietly for Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions.

After so many years, he naturally knew that His Majesty would not bring him here for no reason.

"Yunqi, is it true that the Lu family cannot be touched?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time before he slowly asked in a cold voice.

Looking at Zhu Ming's cute appearance, he still couldn't let go of his disgust for Lu.

"I hope your majesty will reconsider this."

Yun Qi didn't say much and still insisted on his own opinion.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Yunqi was right in this matter.

Moreover, he himself could not let go of Zhu Yunwen.

"Remember, there are still a few memorials impeaching Lu Ben on our table."

After another period of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly spoke.
