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

"You better be careful. When the emperor's grandson arrives, you will be punished for being so lazy."

The Shanxi prefectural government office was crowded with people. A man in red official uniform was directing his servants and making arrangements carefully.

"Sir, the prefect, who is this Royal Grandson?"

The butler at the side came over cautiously, looked at Zhu Ming, and asked in a low voice.

It is said that the Imperial Grandson who came this time is the most favored little grandson by the Emperor.

If I could gain his appreciation and make him happy, I would be able to rise to great heights in one step.

"how could I know."

The prefect rolled his eyes at him. How could he not know what his steward was thinking?

Anyone who can sit in this position is a smart person.

"His Royal Highness is still young, and this is the first time His Majesty has allowed him to leave the capital."

He was also somewhat cautious when he spoke.

If he could gain the appreciation of the emperor's grandson, he might indeed be able to rise to high positions, but if he made the emperor's grandson unhappy, his future would be ruined.

"Your Excellency the Prefect, Your Excellency the Prefect!"

The prefect was about to give instructions to his servants on how to make the arrangements, but he saw a bailiff running in from the door in a panic.

"What's going on? Can't you see I'm busy?"

The prefect was obviously displeased at being interrupted, and he turned around with an impatient look on his face.

Making sure the emperor's grandson lives comfortably is related to his own future.

What could be more important than this?

"Sir, His Royal Highness's carriage has arrived outside the city."

The man clasped his hands together, lowered his head and dared not look directly at the prefect, and answered respectfully.

"Don't arrange it, don't arrange it, everyone retreat."

Upon hearing that the emperor's grandson's men had arrived, the prefect became panicked and immediately asked all those who were busy to retreat.

It’s okay for His Royal Highness to live comfortably, but it can’t appear too deliberate.

"Where is the emperor's grandson's carriage? Take me there quickly."

After sending away all the servants, the prefect turned around and looked at the boy who had come to report. As he spoke, he quickly ran out of the door, picking up his robe.

"Your humble servant Wang Ganju greets His Royal Highness the Grandson."

Outside the city gate, the prefect was led to the carriage and bowed respectfully.

"My Lord, I cannot accept such a great gift."

Hearing the voices of people coming to greet them outside the carriage, the imperial physician led a group of people out of the carriage and returned the gift to the prefect.

"You are, sir?"

Seeing that the person who came out was not the emperor's grandson but a middle-aged man, Wang Ganju was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"Your subordinate, I am the imperial physician accompanying His Royal Highness the Grandson."

The man looked at Wang Ganju, the purple official, with a respectful attitude.

"Imperial Physician, may I ask which one is the Emperor's grandson?"

Wang Ganju looked behind the imperial physician again, but did not see the legendary Royal Highness the Grandson, which made him even more confused.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Grandson, did not enter the city with us."

Seeing that Wang Ganju cared so much about the emperor's grandson, the imperial physician just laughed awkwardly a few times before speaking in response.

"Sir, can you let us go into the city first?"

He turned around and looked at the entourage who had been left behind by His Royal Highness the Grandson like himself, and bowed.

"Of course. Please come in, please come in."

Only then did Wang Ganju realize that they were still outside the city.

Although the imperial physician's rank is not as high as mine, he is still a Beijing official and a close friend of the emperor's grandson, so I still need to treat him well.

"Wang Ganju has already prepared wine and food in the mansion to welcome the adults."

Having said that, he turned around and made a gesture to invite the imperial physician and others into the city.

"Just now, the Lord said that His Royal Highness the Grandson did not enter the city with you. Why is that?"

In the prefectural government office, Wang Ganju looked at the imperial physicians and others sitting nearby, but the protagonist, the emperor's grandson, was not among them. He still asked in confusion.

I have made so many preparations just to entertain His Royal Highness the Grandson.

Now that the carriage has arrived but the emperor's grandson hasn't come, it doesn't matter.

The imperial physician did not dare to hide it and had to tell him how Zhu Ming asked them to go first and only took Liu Jin with him when he got off the carriage.

"This is a poor and remote place. I'm afraid it's not safe for His Royal Highness the Grandson to be alone."

Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, Wang Ganju's expression immediately became nervous.

There is a drought in this area right now, and refugees are everywhere. His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor only brought a eunuch with him. If he encounters danger, his official hat will be in danger.

"Don't worry, His Majesty loves the little grandson the most and has arranged for the Royal Guards to follow him secretly."

The imperial physician also knew Wang Ganju's worries, and smiled, trying to calm Wang Ganju down.

Your Majesty cares so much about the life of the Imperial Grandson that he has even assigned an imperial physician to him. How could he not allow the Embroidered Uniform Guard to accompany him and protect him at all times?

"That's fine, that's fine."

Wang Ganju heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the emperor's grandson was accompanied by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

If something happened to the emperor's grandson in his jurisdiction, he could not take the responsibility.

"My lords, please take a rest first. We have already prepared wine and food. We still have some things to do in the mansion, so we will leave first."

Wang Ganju seemed to have thought of something, and greeted the others. Then, without waiting for the imperial physician to respond, he retreated.

"My Lord, where is the emperor's grandson?"

As soon as Wang Ganju walked out of the yamen and returned to his own mansion, the housekeeper came up to him with a curious look on his face and asked about the whereabouts of the emperor's grandson.

There's no way, I want to improve so badly.

"Go, get a pen and paper."

Wang Ganju did not answer the housekeeper's question, but hurriedly asked the servants to prepare paper and pen for him.

He hurried to the desk and began to write.

In the blink of an eye, several letters had been written and sealed in envelopes.

"Send someone to deliver these letters to the county magistrates in Hedong as quickly as possible."

With a serious look on his face, he handed the letters to the butler and spoke in a deep voice.

His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor did not go into the city with the imperial physician and others. He must have his own ideas. Maybe he was going on a secret visit.

If the officials below fail to entertain properly and offend His Royal Highness the Grandson, I will not be able to save them.

"Yes."

Seeing his master's serious expression, the butler naturally did not dare to be negligent. He just responded and retreated.

"I'm sorry that you were caught here too."

Zhu Ming looked at Zhaodi and Meihua, mother and daughter, who were locked up opposite him, and spoke in a low voice.

Although he was in prison, he remained calm, but felt a little guilty towards the mother and daughter.

"Sir, that's not the case. We are here to follow you."

Zhaodi just shook her head, looking quite calm.

Or rather, in this disaster, she had already thought of herself as dead.

It's not just her. All the people affected by the disaster thought they were dead first.

"Please, sir, if you can protect the plum blossoms, I will die without regrets."

As she spoke, she lowered her head again and touched Meihua's head.
