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

"This is absolutely impossible. Please go back, Miss Li Wan."

Zhu Ming rejected Li Wan's kindness directly with a cold voice. He was not the kind of person who would accept anyone who came just because of their beauty.

As a prince, he has no shortage of people serving him.

"Liu Jin, send Miss Li Wan down."

As soon as Zhu Ming spoke, Liu Jin immediately walked up to Li Wan and took her away.

Seeing that Zhu Ming had said this, Li Wan finally gave up. She looked at Zhu Ming reluctantly before leaving with Liu Jin.

"Sir Wang, you didn't come to my house just to persuade me to take Miss Li Wan in, did you?"

After seeing Li Wan off, Zhu Ming looked at Wang Ganju coldly.

This prefect must have been extremely cruel to me now.

He came to my house so quickly, and I don’t know what he is up to.

"of course not."

Seeing Zhu Ming asking about his purpose, Wang Ganju immediately smiled and rubbed his hands: "I just want you to go to the granary in this province to have a look."

After listening to Wang Ganju's words, Zhu Ming became alert.

This Wang Ganju has been trying to obstruct his disaster relief efforts since he arrived in Shanxi.

Why did he change his personality this time and took the initiative to go to the granary to take a look.

"After all, Your Highness has come here to provide disaster relief under the order of the emperor. It is necessary for you to know the grain reserve situation in this province."

Before Zhu Ming opened his mouth, Wang Ganju had already started explaining with a smile.

There is nothing wrong with this reason in legal terms.

"Since the prefect has invited me, I will go and take a look."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Zhu Ming had no choice but to grin. He really needed to go to the granary to take a look.

Seeing that Zhu Ming agreed so readily, Wang Ganju led his men in front to lead the way, as if he was afraid that Zhu Ming would go back on his word.

"The province currently has 8,300 bags of grain in stock, enough to last Shanxi province for half a month."

Wang Ganju walked in front of Zhu Ming and followed Zhu Ming to introduce the current situation in Shanxi Province.

He cooperated as if the person who had embarrassed Zhu Ming before was not him.

Zhu Ming followed behind him, looking at his back coldly.

If I had seen this face when I first arrived, I might have really believed that he was a good official dedicated to disaster relief.

But now, I just can't tell what he is planning.

But until he brought Zhu Ming to the door of the granary, Wang Ganju did not show any abnormality.

"Your Highness, this is the granary key."

Wang Ganju even took the initiative to hand over the key to the granary and put it in Zhu Ming's hands.

Zhu Ming had no choice but to nod, took the key, and walked up to open the granary door.

Looking at the granary full of grain, Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

With this amount of food, providing relief to the victims should not be a problem.

"Of this grain, 3,200 bags were stored in the province, 5,000 bags were purchased from various provinces with disaster relief funds, and 100 bags were donated by wealthy merchants."

Wang Ganju followed Zhu Ming to inspect the granary and respectfully introduced the origins of the stored grain.

"Your Highness, I have been feeling unwell lately."

After explaining the situation of the granary, Wang Ganju smiled awkwardly at Zhu Ming and coughed a few times: "Please allow me to go home and rest for a few days. The affairs of the government office will be handed over to you."

"If the prefect is really ill, just go back and rest."

Although Zhu Ming had no idea what Wang Ganju was going to do, he felt that if he could really accept the Shanxi government's affairs, it would be convenient during disaster relief.

As for Wang Ganju's plan, just be careful and guard against it.

"Thank you for your permission, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

Seeing that Zhu Ming agreed to his request for leave, Wang Ganju immediately became excited and retreated with his men.

"As long as you have food in your hands, you won't be worried."

Zhu Ming glanced at the full store of food and felt relieved.

In the imperial city, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the poisonous insects and tranquilizing flowers on his table, his brows furrowed, and his face looked extremely ugly.

"Is everything you said true?"

He looked at the middle-aged man kneeling in front of him with a serious expression, murderous intent evident in his eyes.

If this person says one wrong word, his head will fall off.

"I, Liu Qiao, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, guarantee with my life that this flower is indeed used in witchcraft."

The middle-aged man knocked his head to the ground and responded affirmatively.

After receiving Liu Qiao's affirmative answer, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, slapped the desk, and stood up directly, scaring everyone around him to kneel down.

Even Liu Qiao knelt on the ground, his body trembling and he dared not look directly at Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.

"Huh, where did this flower come from?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly. He didn't expect that someone would dare to use witchcraft to harm people in the capital city, right under the feet of the emperor.

What's more, these things were found in the palace.

"Yes……"

When Zhu Yuanzhang asked about the origins of these things, Liu Qiao obviously hesitated.

"Say!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry at this moment and shouted loudly.

Under the might of God, Liu Qiao had no choice but to tell everything he knew: "Yes, I got it from His Royal Highness Prince Guangze."

Prince Guangze is the emperor’s grandson Zhu Yunhuan.

"Yunqi, bring Zhu Yunhuan up to me!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that it came from Zhu Yunhuan, he became even more furious.

He is the grandson of the emperor and the son of Biao'er, but he actually uses such evil witchcraft, which is really embarrassing for himself.

More importantly, Zhu Yunhuan is a prince and now lives in the Eastern Palace. Who does he want to harm by using this witchcraft?

"Yes."

Yun Qi naturally did not dare to neglect Zhu Yuanzhang's angry order. He responded and then trotted away.

"you……"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Qiao again. Even if he was furious, Liu Qiao had not done anything wrong after all.

He suppressed his anger and waved his hand: "Back off."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had let him go, Liu Qiao was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would go back on his word, so he kowtowed heavily and then retreated.

When he walked out of the Daming Palace, Liu Qiao's body went limp and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he was able to hold on to a pillar beside him and stand firm.

I really don't want to get involved in this royal struggle anymore.

In just a short while, he felt as if he was in another world.

"Prince, please come with me."

After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Yun Qi went straight into the East Palace without saying a word and said to Zhu Yunhuan with a smile.

"Can you give me a moment?"

Zhu Yunhuan seemed to have anticipated Yunqi's arrival. He nodded and spoke calmly.

Yunqi looked at Zhu Yunhuan and hesitated for a while.

After all, he is the grandson of the emperor and a prince. If he doesn't run away, this request is not excessive.

"Please, Your Highness, please hurry up and don't embarrass me."

Yun Qi nodded and said with a smile.

"enough."

Zhu Yunhuan just turned his head and looked at a room in the Eastern Palace, staring for a long time.
