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

"This kid also needs my help sometimes, just in time."

Zhu Ming looked at the letter sent by Zhu Ming in his hand and nodded with a smile.

This ten thousand taels was not something he could not afford now.

He wanted to save Zhu Yunhuan, and also happened to have a request to ask him.

Zhu Song wrote down with a flourish what was happening in the imperial city.

Seeing that Zhu Ming was going to use the silver to purchase food for disaster relief, Zhu Song directly exchanged the ten thousand taels of silver for food and sent it to Hedong.

Now the only one who can save Zhu Yunhuan is Zhu Ming.

"Mother, what's the matter?"

Zhu Yunwen stood at the gate of the East Palace, looking at Lu who had just called him from behind with a puzzled look on his face, and spoke.

"Tell me first where you are going."

Mrs. Lu sat on the chair, looked at Zhu Yunwen with a gloomy face, and asked in a cold voice.

"Of course I'll go to Grandpa Emperor and ask him to release my second brother."

Zhu Yunwen began to answer without thinking, then turned and walked out of the East Palace.

Zhu Yunhuan was his half-brother, and he could not bear to see his second brother imprisoned.

After hearing Zhu Yunwen's purpose, Lu's face became even colder, and she shouted, "Stop."

Hearing his mother's angry shout, Zhu Yunwen stopped and looked at the cold face with even more confusion.

I wanted to save my own second brother, why did my mother stop me?

"You are not allowed to get involved in this matter."

Lu stared at Zhu Yunwen straight, causing Zhu Yunwen to subconsciously take a step back in fear.

"That's my second brother. What's wrong with me saving him?"

Zhu Yunwen didn't understand why he became even angrier after knowing that he was going to save Zhu Yunhuan.

Even if Zhu Yunhuan was not his mother's biological son, he was still his father's son after all.

"Come here, take the eldest grandson back home. You are not allowed to leave without my permission."

Lu did not answer Zhu Yunwen's question, but turned around and gave orders to the guards around her.

Even if the other party is the eldest grandson of the emperor, before Zhu Yunwen is granted the title of vassal king or becomes the crown prince, the Crown Princess still has the final say in the Eastern Palace.

"excuse me."

They just bowed respectfully to Zhu Yunwen and took him away.

In three days, Zhu Ming had exchanged all the silver he had for food.

But it will still take a few days to go back and forth.

Seeing that the people’s food reserves are almost used up, if no more food arrives, it is not impossible that these refugees will rebel.

"How much food is left in the mansion?"

Zhu Ming touched his chin, turned to look at Si Jin, and suddenly asked.

If the purchased food cannot be delivered immediately, we will have to send the food in the mansion out first.

Liu Jin was sent out by himself to purchase food. Now in Shanxi Province, the only two people he can trust are Si Jin and Chen Ling.

"There are more than 30,000 refugees in Shanxi Province. If we include other places, there are more than 100,000 people."

Si Jin shook her head. The food they had on hand would never be enough.

"I also know that we don't have enough food."

Zhu Ming could only sigh, as he was aware of this in his heart.

But as the time was running out, he didn't know what to do.

Wang Ganju's move of cutting off the source of the problem was truly vicious.

In one fire, all the money and food for disaster relief were burned.

"What does he want to do?"

Zhu Ming also wanted to know that if Wang Ganju did this, he would gain nothing and both sides might suffer.

As the prefect, he could not escape responsibility for the failure of the Hedong disaster relief.

He couldn't understand why Wang Ganju would rather give up the official position and obstruct him.

"Your Highness, I want to see His Royal Highness the Grandson."

While Zhu Ming was still thinking hard, Zhang Xing's excited voice came from outside the door.

Without waiting for Zhu Ming to ask for someone to let him in, Zhang Xing strode in and stood in front of Zhu Ming in the blink of an eye.

"Master Zhang, what has caused you to lose your composure like this?"

Zhu Ming frowned, frowning at how excited Zhang Xing was.

What Zhang Xing said had better be good news.

Zhang Xing then realized his own mistake and smiled awkwardly.

"Your Highness, food...food has arrived."

He pointed his finger into the distance, changed the subject, and grinned at Zhu Ming.

There's no way, it's so exciting that the food is arriving now.

"Take me to see it quickly."

Hearing Zhang Xing's words, Zhu Ming also became excited and ran out the door without saying a word.

When he arrived at the city gate and saw the horse-drawn carts full of grain parked there, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This grain was not brought back by Liu Jin, who was sent out by himself.

“Whose food is this?”

Zhu Ming looked at the driver in front and asked in confusion.

In Shanxi, who could raise so much food under such circumstances?

He had offended those wealthy businessmen, and he didn't think that those guys would repay him with kindness and help him.

"But His Royal Highness?"

Seeing this, the driver also bowed respectfully towards Zhu Ming and asked.

"Yes."

Zhu Ming was even more confused. Did the driver know him?

"We are His Highness Zhu Song's men. One thousand bags of food have been delivered safely."

After confirming Zhu Ming's identity, the driver waved his hand, signaling the other drivers and guards behind him to jump off the carriage.

"Zhu Song, that kid."

When Zhu Ming heard that the food was given to him by Zhu Song, he smiled with relief.

You don't have to think about it to know that this was Zhu Song exchanging the 10,000 taels of silver he borrowed for grain and sending it directly over.

"Master Zhang, why are you still standing there? Call someone to move the food."

Zhu Ming turned around and shouted to Zhang Xing behind him.

Zhang Xing finally reacted and ran down quickly.

Although these thousand bags of grain are not much, they are enough to solve the urgent needs now.

As long as Liu Jin delivers the purchased food, this matter will be over.

"Your Highness."

Watching Zhang Xing leave, the driver called out to Zhu Ming again softly, his eyes occasionally drifting towards Si Jin behind Zhu Ming, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhu Ming immediately understood that this person wanted to give him something else, but he did not speak because of Si Jin's presence.

"This is one of ours, it's okay."

Zhu Ming waved his hand. Si Jin was still trustworthy to him.

The driver looked at Zhu Ming's relaxed expression and said nothing more. He took out a letter from his arms and stuffed it into Zhu Ming's arms.

"His Royal Highness Zhu Song said that His Royal Highness the Grandson can only read this letter himself and must not disclose it."

The driver leaned over to Zhu Ming's ear and spoke cautiously.

At this point, his mission was completely completed.

As for this letter, it doesn’t matter to Zhu Ming who he shows it to.

After Zhang Xing and his soldiers unloaded all the food from the cart, the driver bowed and left.
