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

"Chen Ling, call everyone to the government office to wait for me!"

Zhu Ming turned around and shouted without even using any honorifics, his voice trembling, showing how angry he was.

Facing the furious Zhu Ming, Chen Ling did not dare to hesitate any longer. She responded and quickly retreated.

Zhu Ming walked through the crowd and headed quickly towards the government office.

The people also consciously stepped aside to make way, and then followed Zhu Ming and went towards the government office together.

The people following Zhu Ming were so numerous that there were already several hundred of them.

The granary fire concerns all the victims, and everyone wants to know how Zhu Ming will deal with this matter.

Even when they were stopped by soldiers at the gate of the government office, they still kept sticking their heads out and looking inside.

Although the officials of Shanxi Province pretended to obey Zhu Ming but secretly disobeyed him, they still dared not refuse to go when the Jinyiwei came to their door wearing flying fish uniforms.

Before this, Zhu Ming had never allowed Chen Ling and other Jinyiwei to appear in front of the officials. Now that he had revealed his cards, it was because these people had touched his bottom line.

Dozens of officials, accompanied by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, walked tremblingly into the government office amid the angry crowd.

Zhu Ming was already sitting in the upper seat, glaring at them. The yamen runners on both sides were also replaced by the Jinyiwei brought by Chen Ling.

This matter is no longer taking place in Shanxi's government office, but in Zhu Ming's trial court.

These old-timers who have been officials for more than a decade felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from this boy who was only in his early teens.

"Your Highness!"

Facing this imperial grandson whom they had never taken seriously before, they still bowed respectfully.

"You gentlemen should have known about the fire in the granary."

Facing these officials, Zhu Ming sneered and asked softly.

"Yes, the subordinates have heard about it."

As officials, how could they not know about such a major event as the granary fire?

"Eight thousand three hundred bags of grain turned to ashes. Do you have any solution?"

Zhu Ming stood up from his seat and looked at them with a smile on his face. His cold eyes made these people's scalps tingle.

Upon hearing Zhu Ming's question, the officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even if they didn't know what the fire was about, they at least knew some rumors about it.

But of course they wouldn't say such things at this time.

"Zhang Xing, Master Zhang."

Zhu Ming walked down from his seat, walked in front of Zhang Xing and asked in a cold voice.

Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, and Zhu Ming turned to look at other officials without waiting for his answer.

"Mr. Councillor, do you have any idea?"

Zhu Ming's icy voice made these old foxes who had been in the officialdom for several years, dozens of years, or even decades tremble in their hearts.

Zhu Ming asked seven or eight people in a row, but no one could answer his question.

Zhu Ming did not make any trouble. He just returned to his seat seemingly calmly and glanced at everyone.

"Snapped!"

With a loud bang, Zhu Ming slammed the gavel in his hand on the table, startling the officials who were already on edge.

"Eight thousand three hundred bags of grain, the food that the people of the city depend on for survival."

Zhu Ming spoke in a deep voice, his tone full of danger.

"In the past, I respected you as my senior officials. I am new here and not familiar with the situation in Shanxi, so I treated you with courtesy."

It was not until now that Zhu Ming finally revealed his true intentions and glanced at them with a dark face.

"But what about you? You pretended to obey my disaster relief order but secretly disobeyed it, so that the government order was not carried out. Where do you put the people affected by the disaster? Where do you put the majesty of the emperor's grandson and the imperial envoy of your majesty?"

Zhu Ming's voice was very soft, but it made all the officials kneel down.

They truly felt the threat of death from Zhu Ming's words.

This grandson of the emperor is not as easy to deal with as he looks.

It was not until now that they realized that they had made a big mistake.

"Master Chen Ling, go and invite the prefect over."

Zhu Ming ignored the officials who were kneeling down. He just turned his head to look at Chen Ling and gave instructions softly.

Wang Ganju was too kind to them.

"Yes."

Chen Ling immediately responded and retreated.

Watching Chen Ling passing by them, these officials lowered their heads tremblingly, in extreme fear.

Zhu Ming did not say anything else to them, but since he did not speak, the officials did not dare to stand up and could only kneel there.

After a long time, their hands and feet could no longer support them.

Wang Ganju sat upright on a recliner in the mansion, drinking tea comfortably.

When I thought about Zhu Ming who was getting anxious and worried about the granary issue, I couldn't help but chuckle.

He shook his head proudly, thinking that the emperor's grandson was still too young to compete with him.

"boom!"

A guard was suddenly thrown in and lay in front of him, wailing in pain.

This sudden change caused the maids around Wang Ganju to run away in panic.

"who!"

After all, Wang Ganju is an important figure and he does have some courage.

Faced with this situation, he did not panic, but stood up and shouted.

"Lord Wang."

Chen Ling forced back several guards in front of him and strode up to Wang Ganju.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so rude, but now that the emperor's grandson is so angry, it's okay for him to be a little out of line.

"you are?"

Wang Ganju looked at the Feiyu suit on Chen Ling, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked cautiously.

"Chen Ling, the commander of the Imperial Guard."

As Chen Ling spoke, she took out a token from her bosom to prove her identity.

After all, we are dealing with local officials, so the necessary procedures are still necessary.

"His Royal Highness invites you."

Wang Ganju said this and took another step forward.

"This……"

Wang Ganju looked at the token that Chen Ling took out, and his heart finally began to stir.

The Jinyiwei came to my house and I had no choice but to go.

He also didn't expect that His Majesty would love this little grandson so much that he would even allow him to mobilize the Imperial Guards.

Following Chen Ling to the government office, Wang Ganju glanced at the officials who had already been kneeling there.

"Mr. Prefect, how is your recovery?"

Looking at Wang Ganju who was brought up by Chen Ling, Zhu Ming was not angry, but instead became concerned about his health.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am much better now."

Wang Ganju perfunctorily clasped his fists and bowed, responding casually without taking Zhu Ming seriously.

After all, he was the prefect of Shanxi. Even if he was the emperor's grandson, if they wanted to convict him, they had to have evidence.

He has been staying indoors these days, so the incident with the granary cannot be blamed on him anyway.

"You've seen the emperor's grandson, why don't you kneel down?"

Zhu Ming looked at Wang Ganju, who was still unrepentant, slammed the gavel and scolded him loudly.

The sudden shout startled everyone in the class.
