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

"Grandpa Emperor, Grandpa Emperor!"

Zhu Ming stood in front of the Daming Palace and shouted loudly.

He came this time to borrow someone to review the manuscript.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is currently in a meeting. Please wait a moment."

There was silence in the Daming Palace for a while. Yun Qicai trotted over and bowed respectfully in front of Zhu Ming, looking at him with an embarrassed look.

"In that case, I'll just wait."

Zhu Ming nodded and stopped making noise. When Old Zhu discussed matters, they were usually about national affairs, and he could distinguish the important from the unimportant.

"Your Highness, please follow me and take a rest first."

The discussion was one thing, but Yun Qi would not let Zhu Ming, a grandson of the emperor, wait here idly. He turned around and led Zhu Ming in.

"Eunuch Yunqi, I wonder who the Emperor is discussing this with?"

Zhu Ming followed behind Yun Qi, looked up and asked curiously.

"Lord Mu Ying, Marquis of Xiping."

Yun Qi didn't even turn his head. He answered Zhu Ming's questions while walking forward with Zhu Ming.

Mu Ying, Marquis of Xiping, guarded Yunnan all year round and seldom came back, so it is understandable that he sought out Zhu Yuanzhang to reminisce about the past.

Zhu Ming nodded, and said nothing more. He followed Yun Qi silently to a side hall to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang and Mu Ying to finish their meeting.

"Your Highness, please wait here. Allow me to report first."

After settling Zhu Ming, Yun Qi bowed again and then slowly retreated.

Zhu Ming waited in this side hall for a full half an hour before Yun Qi came back and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty asked you to go over. Please follow me."

"Finally we're done talking."

Zhu Ming stretched his muscles, then followed Yun Qi into the main hall.

At this moment, in the main hall of Daming Palace, there were two men standing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"My dear grandson, here you come."

Seeing Yunqi bringing Zhu Ming in, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly stood up and greeted Zhu Ming a few times.

"Mu Ying, this is our beloved grandson."

As soon as Zhu Mingcai walked over, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled him and introduced him to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was wearing a long robe, had a handsome appearance, and an elegant temperament, and looked like a scholar.

If Zhu Yuanzhang had not called him Mu Ying, Zhu Ming would not have recognized that this man was the general guarding Yunnan.

"Uncle Mu Ying."

Seeing this, Zhu Ming also smiled naively at Mu Yingtian.

According to seniority, as they were both adopted, there was nothing wrong with Zhu Ming calling Mu Ying uncle.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved by his sensible look.

"Are you Zhu Ming?"

Mu Ying looked Zhu Ming up and down. Although he was far away in Yunnan, he had heard of the reputation of this emperor's grandson and knew that he had proposed many national policies that would benefit his reputation to the emperor.

But no one expected that the emperor's grandson with such talent was a child in his early teens.

"I have always heard of you in your Majesty's letters. Today I finally met you in person. You are indeed a young talent."

He nodded and did not hesitate to praise Zhu Ming.

Just by reading those letters, he could feel Zhu Yuanzhang's love for this little grandson.

"Mr. Ruan also told me about what happened yesterday."

Mu Ying bent down, touched Zhu Ming's head, and laughed softly in Zhu Ming's ear.

What happened yesterday was obviously the incident where Mu Ruanjun knocked me down.

"It was Zhu Ming who was rude."

Zhu Ming smiled awkwardly and apologized to Mu Ying again.

Could it be that Mu Ying came here to complain to Old Zhu?

Seeing Zhu Ming like this, Mu Ying laughed even louder.

"Lin'er, what do you want to talk to me about today?"

Seeing that Zhu Ming and Mu Ying got along so well, the smile in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes went straight to his heart.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a very good mood because Mu Ying came to see him today. He hugged Zhu Ming in his arms and started asking.

"Grandpa Huang, I'm here to borrow someone from you."

Since Zhu Yuanzhang asked about his intention, Zhu Ming stopped beating around the bush and looked at him straight.

The person who came to borrow it today is not an ordinary person.

"Borrow someone? Borrow from whom?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming blankly and asked in confusion.

What is this kid doing secretly again?

"Xie Jin from the Hanlin Academy."

Zhu Ming also went straight to the point and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously.

After hearing the name, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned at first, and then looked at another man next to him.

After making eye contact with the man, he burst into laughter.

"Grandpa Emperor, what are you laughing at?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly burst into laughter, Zhu Ming was a little confused and spoke in confusion.

What happened that made Lao Zhu laugh like this?

"Master Xie, you have a lot to do now."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry to answer Zhu Ming's question. He still looked at the man and joked with a smile.

The man looked young, no more than thirty years old, and there was a bit of arrogance between his brows.

Even standing next to a figure like Mu Ying, he is not at all inferior.

"It is my blessing to be valued by the emperor's grandson."

The man bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, then looked at Zhu Ming and chuckled.

"Lend me your people, of course."

After laughing with the man, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at Zhu Ming, pretending to ask seriously.

"But you have to tell me, what do you want to do with Master Jie?"

You can borrow people, but you have to make it clear what you want to do.

"This one……"

When asked this by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ming felt embarrassed.

I haven't figured out how to tell Lao Zhu yet. I'm in need of reviewers for my bookstore, so should I borrow someone from the court?

"Tell me, otherwise I can't lend you anyone."

Seeing Zhu Ming hesitate, Zhu Yuanzhang's smile deepened.

This look made people want to tease him even more.

"I have a few essays written by students from the Imperial Academy in my hand tomorrow."

After being questioned by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ming made up his mind and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously.

"It's just that Ming'er's level is not high enough to judge the Imperial Academy students, so..."

As Zhu Ming spoke, he raised his head as if begging, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with his watery eyes, and blinked a few times.

Even he himself did not expect that in order to borrow the help of this reviewer, he would have to act cute himself.

"Are you asking the imperial court for help for such a small matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be angry and looked at Zhu Ming. This kid was becoming more and more lawless.

He even brought his personal affairs to the court.

"This is also to cultivate talents for the Imperial Academy."

Xie Jin helped the students of the Imperial Academy to review manuscripts and also gave them some suggestions, which was helpful to them.

"You can borrow someone."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming and nodded, then said seriously: "It's just that this is your private matter, we can't use the imperial order to pressure others."

After saying that, he turned to look at the man beside him and said with a smile: "So, whether Master Xie is willing to help you or not, you have to ask yourself."
