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

Zhu Ming sat in the lobby with a sullen face, looking at the coroner kneeling below.

"Your Highness, General Jinghui's throat is black and his internal organs are damaged. I can conclude that the general died at the hands of someone else."

The coroner's answer was no more than Zhu Ming's.

It’s just that those people are unwilling to show up now, and there’s nothing I can do about them.

"Got it. Go to the front to collect the reward and leave now."

Zhu Ming nodded and waved his hand.

These people are still in the palace.

It was not until the coroner left that Zhu Ming rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"What's wrong, you're looking sad."

Xu Miaojin rushed in from outside, looked at Zhu Ming's distressed expression, and joked with a smile.

She also knew that the deep water in Shanxi would make it very difficult for Zhu Ming to deal with the situation.

But she also knew that all official affairs ultimately took place in the court.

So her father, who was the Duke of Wei and the greatest hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, was not allowed to enter the court.

Even her brother Xu Yungong only held an official position of moderate importance in the court.

It would be good if Zhu Ming could sit on the throne and govern the court.

"We won't be in Shanxi for long. If I'm wrong, the people sent by Grandpa Huang and Duke Wei to call us back are already on their way."

Zhu Ming shook his head, realizing that he really didn't have much time left in Shanxi.

Xu Miaojing is the treasure in the Duke of Wei's hand, and the Duke of Wei will definitely not let her go out for so long.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the same. After learning about the Shanxi mutiny, he would definitely not let him stay.

"Humph, you've been in Shanxi for a few months, so it's normal for Uncle Zhu to miss you."

Xu Miaojin walked over, sat next to Zhu Ming, and groaned.

"If you want to govern Shanxi, you can only start from the court."

She didn't want to ask about these things, but it was not that she didn't understand.

"Your Highness, there is an order!"

Zhu Ming opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a loud shout came from outside the hall.

Zhu Ming stood up, and a eunuch came in with three or four Jinyiwei, holding an imperial edict in his hand: "Your Highness, the emperor's oral order."

Upon seeing this, Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin immediately knelt down and listened quietly.

The eunuch looked at Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin kneeling down, coughed, and said in a shrill voice: "My dear grandson, you have been gone for several months. I miss you so much. The messenger has arrived. Please come back to Beijing for us as soon as possible."

After listening to the eunuch's words, Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin stood up.

The eunuch who delivered the message smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness, Miss, there is more."

"Forget it, that's it."

Xu Miaojin waved her hands impatiently. She had just received an imperial edict, so forget it.

Uncle Zhu knows about it and won’t blame them anyway.

"This……"

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was stunned for a moment. He had been on duty for so long, but had never seen such rules before.

Just thinking about the identities of these two people, I felt relieved.

"Your Highness, I will not read this imperial edict."

As he spoke, he handed the imperial edict to Zhu Ming.

"Eunuch, please go down first. We will return to Beijing together in two days."

Zhu Ming took the imperial edict and turned to look at Liu Jin who was serving beside him: "Liu Jin, take this eunuch away."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin walked forward with his back bent, and led away the eunuch and the Embroidered Uniform Guard who delivered the imperial edict.

Zhu Ming sat back in his seat and looked at the imperial edict in his hand.

"I'll go get Shen Miao and the others."

Xu Miaojin didn't bother him. She just left a few words and then left.

Since it is an imperial edict from Uncle Zhu, it must be something important.

Since Zhu Ming intends to let Shen Miao be the prefect of Shanxi, they must obey this imperial decree.

Not long after, Shen Miao and the others were brought up.

"How is it? What does the imperial edict say?"

When Xu Miaojin called Shen Miao and the others over, Zhu Ming had already finished reading the imperial edict, but his brows were furrowed, which made her ask worriedly.

"The imperial edict said that he agreed to let Shen Miao be the prefect of Shanxi."

Zhu Ming frowned, finished reading the imperial edict, and immediately laughed.

"You scared me to death!"

Seeing this, Xu Miaojin punched Zhu Ming on the shoulder and looked at him with resentment.

When I saw Zhu Ming frowning just now, I thought it was bad news.

"Really?"

Hearing that His Majesty really agreed to her appointment as the prefect of Shanxi, Shen Miao was a little bit unconvinced.

"of course."

Zhu Ming said as he delivered the imperial edict to Shen Miao: "Don't be too happy too soon. Grandfather Emperor said that he still needs to see if you have the talent to be an official."

"know."

Although Shen Miao's face showed no change of emotion, her hand that took the imperial edict was trembling slightly.

In just the blink of an eye, he went from being a prisoner to the prefect of Shanxi.

"Your Highness, what about me?"

Zhang Xing looked at Zhu Ming nervously and asked cautiously.

Shen Miao's matter was settled, but it was still unclear how His Majesty would deal with her.

Given Your Majesty's temper, things like Wang Ganju and the mutiny in Shanxi must be cleansed from top to bottom.

"If you are obedient and assist her well, nothing will happen."

Zhu Ming looked at Zhang Xing seriously. He still needed someone he could control in Shanxi to help Shen Miao.

So he won't deal with Zhang Xing yet.

But if Zhang Xing doesn't obey, he won't let this guy go: "If you have any selfish intentions, I will tell His Majesty everything you did before."

"As for how His Majesty will deal with you, the guilty ministers, you know it in your hearts."

After hearing Zhu Ming's words, Zhang Xing quickly knelt down and showed his loyalty to Zhu Ming.

Your Majesty, if you can punish these criminals and leave their bodies intact, it will be considered a lenient punishment.

He still knew clearly whether he was dead or alive.

"Get up."

Seeing Zhang Xing's reaction, Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction and asked Zhang Xing to sit up.

"I will be returning to Beijing in two days."

Zhu Ming looked at Shen Miao and Zhang Xing who was standing respectfully behind them, and spoke in a deep voice.

Since Old Zhu has given me an oral order, I definitely cannot stay here. Before that, I should explain everything I can.

"After I return to the capital, His Majesty will definitely send people to conduct a thorough investigation of Shanxi. You should pay more attention these days."

Zhu Ming said in a deep voice, and then looked at Zhang Xing beside him, and leaned over to Shen Miao's ear: "Especially the Shanxi Governor Liu Yingshan, and this Zhang Xing."

Although Zhu Ming had the leverage over Zhang Xing in his hands, he could never completely trust this man.

Seeing this, Zhang Xing just smiled awkwardly and took a step back consciously.

He also knew that he was ultimately an outsider to the young prince, unlike Xu Miaojin and the others.

But he didn't care much about it, as he was now in the carriage of the young prince.

As long as you do what the young prince says, you won't suffer any loss.

"I know."

Shen Miao nodded seriously. She had seen all of this during her time in Shanxi, so she naturally knew how complicated the situation in Shanxi was.
