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

"What's the noise?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was listening to his teacher praising his beloved grandson Lin'er when a child's cry suddenly rang out in the main hall.

"Like, which little prince is crying."

The old man had poor hearing and it took him a long time to realize that it was the sound of a child crying. He immediately became worried.

"It's bad, my dear grandson."

Without saying a word, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and trotted towards the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the courtesy of an emperor, the courtesy of an emperor!"

The old gentleman looked at Zhu Yuanzhang disregarding his imperial appearance and anxiously reminded him from behind.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was only worried about his beloved grandson, so how could he care about these things?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!?"

Liu Jin, who was sent by Zhu Ming to find Zhu Yuanzhang, ran into him and immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Liu Jin, why did you come out?"

Liu Jin was a servant specially arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang to be by Zhu Ming's side. Seeing Liu Jin so flustered, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more worried that it was his own grandson who was crying, so he quickly grabbed him and started asking questions.

"Yes... the little grandson and the little prince had a quarrel, so they asked me to come and find His Majesty."

Liu Jin naturally did not dare to be negligent at all, and he briefly recounted the story of Zhu Ming and Zhu Tan while panting.

"These two little ones!"

After hearing what Liu Jin said, Zhu Yuanzhang cursed helplessly, then hurried towards the direction where the crying sound came from at a faster pace.

Liu Jin followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang, trying his best to catch up with him, but he could not keep up with Zhu Yuanzhang's speed.

Liu Jin was a little confused for a moment, wondering who was the younger one between himself and the emperor who was over fifty years old.

"It's no use crying."

Zhu Ming, who was sitting in the corner, looked at Zhu Tan, who was crying his heart out, and had no intention of going over to comfort him.

Everyone is a child. If children fight and Mr. Zhu finds out, the worst that can happen is that he will just scold me.

After being together for so many years, he didn't believe that Lao Zhu would really do anything to him because of such a small matter.

But Zhu Tan’s crying was really annoying.

Seeing that Zhu Ming ignored him, Zhu Tan cried even harder, rolling on the ground and even making his embroidered clothes dirty.

"How is this going?"

Zhu Yuanzhang came over upon hearing the noise, and saw his beloved grandson and his young son, one rolling on the ground, and the other watching on the side.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked before he figured out the situation.

"Father, he dared to hit me!"

When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang rushing over, he immediately ran over, pointed at the slap mark on his face left by Zhu Ming and started sobbing.

"It was obviously the little uncle who provoked me first!"

Zhu Ming did not tolerate him either. He stood aside and also pointed his hand at Zhu Tan. Since so many people were watching, he was not afraid of confrontation.

As soon as Old Zhu heard it, he knew what had happened. He frowned and turned to look at Liu Jin beside him.

Liu Jin immediately walked up respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, it was indeed the young prince who provoked the little grandson first, so the little grandson asked me to come to you, Your Majesty."

He couldn't afford to offend any of these people with the surname Zhu, so he could only confess the truth.

"He is not the emperor's grandson! He is not the emperor's grandson!"

When Zhu Tan heard Liu Jin and the others calling Zhu Ming the emperor's grandson, his temper came up again and he pushed Zhu Ming forward again.

After hearing Zhu Tan's words, a complex look flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, but was quickly hidden.

These words were too hurtful to Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming was quick-witted and quick-handed. He dodged to the side and did not fight back. Anyway, Old Zhu was watching here and he would be able to make the judgment.

Zhu Tan missed his target and fell down again, staggering.

"It's not proper for a man to cry like that."

After knowing what had happened, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tan with some impatience.

It's okay to cause trouble, but it's embarrassing to get beaten and cry, and then complain about it.

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Tan stopped, held back his tears, and began to sob softly.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you take him back to change his clothes?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Liu Jin and Yun Qi with some displeasure, and spoke in a deep voice.

Although this matter was ultimately Zhu Tan's fault, Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to get angry with his youngest son, and could only vent his anger on Yun Qi and Liu Jin.

Being scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Jin was stunned at first, and then hurriedly retreated with Zhu Tan who was still sobbing.

"Lin'er, come here."

Liu Jin took Zhu Tan away, and Zhu Yuanzhang waved to Zhu Ming again, and his tone softened.

Although it was Zhu Tan who was crying, what Zhu Yuanzhang felt most sorry for was his beloved grandson.

"Grandpa Huang."

Seeing that Old Zhu had no intention of blaming him, Zhu Ming walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and looked at him with his watery eyes.

"What's wrong, Lin'er, is it hurting somewhere?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't resist Zhu Ming's adorable look. He bent down, picked him up and asked with concern.

My grandson is actually very clever and well-behaved, but I was afraid that he might have been wronged and would not tell me.

He has already owed him a lot, and he can't let this good grandson suffer any more injustice.

"Grandpa Huang, am I really not a member of the Zhu family?"

Zhu Ming's nose felt sore and he felt like he was about to cry.

Of course he was not injured. It would have been difficult for Zhu Tan to hurt him.

But Zhu Tan’s words just now touched him a little.

After all, he was not Zhu Yuanzhang's biological grandson. His identity as Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted grandson made him popular in other places in the Ming Dynasty, but in front of the princes and grandchildren in the imperial city, he was just an outsider.

His identity as the emperor's grandson still needs to be recognized by Old Zhu.

"Of course my Lin'er is grandpa's good grandson. Don't listen to their nonsense."

When asked by Zhu Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then he hugged Zhu Ming tightly with heartache.

Just now when Zhu Tan said that Zhu Ming was not the emperor's grandson, he felt sorry for Zhu Ming.

In order to prevent brothers from killing each other after the Ming Dynasty is handed over to Zhu Yunwen, he can only bear it and not tell him his true identity.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this, Zhu Ming also fell in love with him.

In this world, he is an orphan picked up by Lao Zhu, so he is naturally closer to Lao Zhu and Yun Qi, the people who grew up with him.

"Grandpa Huang."

With red eyes, he moved closer to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang also touched his head with heartache.

Looking at the appearance of the grandfather and grandson, Yun Qi was also somewhat moved.

In the court, Zhu Yuanzhang was still the emperor who conquered the world. Only in front of Zhu Ming did Zhu Yuanzhang reveal his tender side.

"However, our dear grandson, no matter what he says, he is still your imperial uncle."

After comforting Zhu Ming for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions calmed down a little. Then he looked at Zhu Ming earnestly and began to preach.

No matter how much I feel sad, I still have to lecture him.
