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

"We have our own choice."

When talking about the candidates to go to Hedong to provide disaster relief, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of his beloved grandson, who was so righteous at such a young age and did not bring shame to the Zhu family.

"Yunqi, go and call our darling grandson to me."

As he spoke, he turned and called out to Yun Qi who was serving beside him.

Yun Qi responded respectfully and stepped back.

When the officials heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to pass on the throne to his grandson, they began to talk again.

The person Your Majesty mentioned to go to Hedong to provide disaster relief could not be the little grandson of the emperor.

"Your Highness, please come in!"

Zhu Ming was waiting in Daming Palace bored when he heard Yun Qi's voice coming from outside.

"finally come."

Zhu Ming stood up immediately, walked over and started complaining to Yun Qi.

"But I'm dying of waiting."

Before he went to court, he was called here by Zhu Yuanzhang. The court was so complicated and the emperor had to ask questions.

He was also afraid that when someone came to fetch him, they wouldn't be able to find him, so he didn't dare to walk around.

If he doesn't come again, he feels like he will get moldy.

"Your Highness, I've been waiting for a long time."

Yun Qi looked at Zhu Ming's aggrieved expression and smiled, and gently soothed his emotions: "Don't be like this when you get to the court later."

After all, the court is a serious place, and the emperor's grandson is not young anymore. He needs to know some etiquette to avoid being laughed at by other officials behind his back.

"Got it, Eunuch Yunqi."

Zhu Ming responded and followed Yun Qi obediently.

Entering the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Ming performed the ceremony according to etiquette and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "Grandson Zhu Ming, I greet you, Grandpa."

"My dear grandson, there's no need to be so polite. Get up, get up."

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stepped down from the throne and personally helped Zhu Ming up.

Our good grandson is so polite.

"With so many people watching, I can't be unmannered and lose face for Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Ming also lowered his voice and whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang really summoned Zhu Ming over, the officials who had already made some guesses in their minds began to talk about it.

In the previous national policies, this little grandson of the emperor has been in the spotlight.

He raised military funds, won over the princess of Toyotomi's family in Japan, saved the lives of many ministers, and reformed the tax system.

Now he has to go to Hedong to provide disaster relief. This little grandson of the emperor is really amazing.

"Our good grandson cares about the people of Hedong and wants to go there in person to provide relief to the people."

Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Zhu Ming and showed him off in front of the ministers.

It was our good grandson who took the initiative to go. Even if you have read many books by sages, you are still not even one-third as enlightened as he is.

"The emperor's grandson is righteous."

Fang Xiaoru was the first to stand up and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ming in his arms.

Although this idea was originally the suggestion he made to Zhu Ming.

Seeing Fang Xiaoru stand up, all the officials followed him and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

"Today, let our good grandson be our imperial envoy and in charge of all important affairs in Hedong."

Looking at the reactions of the officials, Zhu Yuanzhang finally nodded with satisfaction.

It had already been decided to let Zhu Ming go to Hedong, and informing all the officials today was just a formality.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

All the officials shouted in unison again.

They had never wanted to touch this money, nor did they dare to touch it, and there was no need for them to go to Hedong in person now.

Then who wouldn’t say that Your Majesty is wise and wise?

Since all the officials had no objection, the rest would fall into place naturally.

Zhu Ming walked out of the Fengtian Hall, stretched himself as if relieved from a heavy burden, and walked out of the palace.

It's also time to see if the book you want is ready.

This time I went to Hedong not only to provide disaster relief, but also to ensure that everyone in Hedong could have access to education.

As soon as he left the palace, Gu Boyang came straight up to him and stood in front of Zhu Ming with an apologetic smile.

"Your Highness, the prince asked me to take you there. He said that all the 10,000 books have been printed."

As he said this, he walked in front of Zhu Ming, trying to clear the way for Zhu Ming.

"hurry up."

Upon hearing that his book was ready, Zhu Ming could no longer wait. He quickly passed Gu Boyang and went straight to the Xinhua Bookstore.

"Zhu Ming, here."

Zhu Song watched Zhu Ming walking quickly towards him from afar and waved at him quickly.

Next to him, there were several carriages filled with large boxes.

"Is the book ready?"

Zhu Ming walked up to him, and the first thing he asked was about the 10,000 books he wanted.

"I had ten thousand copies made overnight, plus there are five hundred copies in the store. They are all here."

Zhu Song patted the big box on the carriage proudly and showed off to Zhu Ming.

Not only were the 10,000 copies that Zhu Ming wanted prepared, but he also gave him 500 more.

"What about the store?"

Upon hearing that Zhu Songjian had packed the 500 volumes in the store, Zhu Ming also felt guilty for a rare moment.

"Five hundred copies. Just let them wait until tomorrow."

Zhu Song didn't care about it. If anyone wanted to buy books in the store, they could just wait until the new batch was bound tomorrow.

Although he didn't know what Zhu Ming's plan was, he knew it was a very important matter.

"When you get to Hedong, if you need money, write to me."

Zhu Song patted Zhu Ming's shoulder again and nodded firmly.

"Justice."

Zhu Ming was even more moved and gave Zhu Song a thumbs up.

He also didn't expect that Zhu Song could help him to this extent.

“Do you know what you don’t know?”

Zhu Song raised his head and walked to the front of the carriage with Zhu Ming even more proudly.

Not only the carriage, but also the driver was prepared for Zhu Ming: "I have hired the driver, and it can be sent to Hedong now."

Even Zhu Ming didn't expect that he could be so thoughtful.

"We are friends."

Seeing Zhu Ming's touched expression, Zhu Song just hugged Zhu Ming.

He was just an idle prince with nothing to do in his daily life. The position of emperor had nothing to do with him. He could just do as he pleased.

"Zhu Yunxun is not a simple person, you better be careful."

Zhu Ming glanced at Zhu Song. Zhu Song had helped him so much, so he might as well remind him.

"Him? What happened to him?"

Zhu Song was completely confused by Zhu Ming's sudden words.

What did Zhu Yunhuan do again?

"I hope I'm just overthinking it. Just be careful."

Zhu Ming also hoped that he was overthinking it, but since his last contact with Zhu Yunhuan, he had ruled out this possibility.

But he couldn't tell Zhu Ming in detail.

For some things, the less you know, the safer you are.

That's all I can say.

"I'll pay attention."

Zhu Song looked at Zhu Ming thoughtfully before nodding in agreement.

Zhu Ming is smarter than me, and what he says may be clearer than what I understand. So I should listen to him and be careful.
