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

"His Royal Highness."

As soon as Zhu Ming came out of Xinhua Bookstore, he saw a man approaching him. It seemed that he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"you are?"

Seeing that this person seemed to know him, but he had no impression of him, Zhu Ming took a step back, looked at the person seriously, and asked in a deep voice.

I probably don't know this person.

"The villain's identity is not important."

The man looked at Zhu Ming and chuckled, but did not reveal his identity. He just followed the etiquette in every move, which made him not annoying.

He bent down, looked up at Zhu Ming, and said with a smile: "My master invites you. If the emperor's grandson is interested, please follow me."

Seeing that this person seemed to be inviting him, Zhu Ming became a little alert.

Although he was the grandson of the emperor, it was normal for some people to want to curry favor with him.

But the origin of this invitation is still a bit unclear.

"Who is your master?"

Zhu Ming did not agree easily, but looked at the man seriously and spoke in a deep voice.

"I have long heard that the young grandson of the emperor is very intelligent at a young age. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

The man still smiled and said, "Who is my master? The emperor's grandson will know it after seeing him."

Seeing that this person insisted on going over by himself before he was willing to reveal his identity, Zhu Ming also hesitated.

His intuition told him that there must be something strange behind this matter.

However, with the Jinyiwei following him day and night, there shouldn't be any problem.

If I don't go, I will appear to be weak.

You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days.

Even if it's a dangerous place, I'd still go there.

"You go back first, I'll be back soon."

Thinking of this, Zhu Ming turned around and looked at Liu Jin and gave him a wink.

"Yes."

Liu Jin was smart and immediately understood what Zhu Ming meant and nodded respectfully.

"Please go back soon, Your Highness. If you are late, I am afraid that His Majesty will blame you."

Seemingly a little worried about Zhu Ming, Liu Jin gave him some more instructions before leaving.

It's just that, although these words seemed to be spoken to Zhu Ming, they were actually spoken to the person who came to invite him.

Zhu Ming is the emperor's grandson. If he is not seen for a long time and alarms His Majesty, they will not be able to bear the anger.

"Do not worry."

Zhu Ming nodded, and then ignored Liu Jin. He turned around and looked at the man, waving his hand: "Lead the way."

"Please come with me."

Seeing that Zhu Ming accepted his invitation, the man's smile deepened and he immediately turned around to lead the way.

Watching Zhu Ming leave with that man, Liu Jin's smiling expression immediately turned cold and he quickly rushed to the palace.

His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor was obviously not confident about this person's invitation, which was why he asked me to go back and report.

The man walked in front of Zhu Ming, without saying a word, and led Zhu Ming straight out of the city.

"Your master lives quite far away."

Zhu Ming watched the man walking further and further away, and he became more nervous and began to look around.

The Jinyiwei around him should still be following him.

"Your Highness, please follow me."

The man didn't even look back, but quickened his pace as he spoke.

After leaving the city, he still kept walking and led Zhu Ming towards an earthen house.

The mud house was very simple, and even much poorer than the old man's house Zhu Ming had visited before. The door was closed and he couldn't see what was inside.

"Your master lives here?"

Zhu Ming looked at the somewhat dilapidated house and asked with disgust.

These people should at least find some better houses.

"My master has been waiting for you inside for a long time. Your Highness, please go in."

The man walked to the front of the house, then turned around, nodded at Zhu Ming, and chuckled again.

"Then I will meet your master."

Relying on the Jinyiwei behind him, Zhu Ming calmed down, straightened his clothes, pushed open the door and walked straight in.

As soon as Zhu Ming stepped into the house, the door creaked shut.

Without the only source of light, the whole house became pitch dark, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Zhu Ming panicked for only a moment, then calmed down, looked around again, and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, why did you invite me here but I don't see anyone?"

He was probably certain that the person who had invited him was in this room.

As soon as he finished speaking, a candlelight finally lit up.

Following the firelight, I saw the man sitting on the edge of the bed. I was illuminated by the dim candlelight, but I still couldn't see his face clearly. I could only vaguely see a few scars on his face and his burly outline.

"I am just a person who has been entrusted with this task, so I am afraid I will offend you."

The man laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.

He obviously knew Zhu Ming's identity and was still a little afraid of him.

"Entrusted by someone?"

Zhu Ming frowned. Wasn't this big man the mastermind behind all this, just a hired hand?

"Haha, Your Highness, don't be nervous. I'm only concerned about one thing."

The man seemed to be aware of Zhu Ming's emotions and tried to calm him down.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

As Zhu Ming spoke, he looked around in the candlelight. In this small house, besides the big man, there were three or four other people crowded together.

Here, I am undoubtedly at a disadvantage, so it is better not to provoke these people at will.

"That person said that as long as the grandson of the emperor agrees to write a letter to persuade His Majesty to withdraw the imperial decree on tax reform, he will let the grandson of the emperor leave."

As the man spoke, he stood up from the bed. His huge figure seemed even more oppressive against the dim candlelight.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have collapsed from fear.

"The imperial decree is the will of His Majesty. What can I, a child, do?"

The threat from this big man couldn't be more obvious at this moment.

But of course Zhu Ming would never agree to such a thing.

"Others may not be able to do this, but Your Highness, you are different."

The man sneered and approached Zhu Ming step by step: "You are a favorite of His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely listen to you if you speak."

"It seems that you know a lot."

Zhu Ming sneered. These people not only knew his identity as the emperor's grandson, but also knew his position around Zhu.

It seems that this has been planned for quite some time.

"Since you know so much, you should also know that I can't possibly agree to your request."

Zhu Ming looked at these people coldly. How could he be frightened so easily? Would he compromise?

"Then I'll just have to take offense."

Zhu Ming’s reaction did not surprise the big man. As he was speaking, he walked in front of Zhu Ming, and the other big men also surrounded him.

"Tied him up."

At a command, several big men rushed forward and tied ropes around Zhu Ming.

Taking into account Zhu Ming's status as the emperor's grandson, these men did not dare to use force.
