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

"Good grandson!"

Early the next morning, just after daybreak, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was heard at the door of Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the guy who woke him up from his sweet dream.

Only after he saw clearly that it was Zhu Yuanzhang did his anger subside.

"Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Ming shouted with his still hoarse voice and slowly got up from the bed.

"It's not time for class yet."

Zhu Ming complained dissatisfiedly, saying that it was still too early to leave the main hall.

Why did Old Zhu wake me up so early in the morning? Doesn’t he have to attend court today?

"We're not going to the main hall today. I'll take you for a walk."

Zhu Yuanzhang just laughed a few times, walked over and carried Zhu Ming out of the bed.

"Grandpa Huang wants to take me out?"

Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some confusion, really unable to understand what he was thinking.

"Oh, yes, let me introduce you to the new teacher we found for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said this and waved towards the door again.

It was then that Zhu Ming discovered that there was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties standing outside the door.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything. He just stood there straight, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, looking meticulous.

"New teacher?"

Zhu Ming only took one look at the man and frowned.

This teacher gives people a very strict feeling.

I'm afraid I won't have a good life if I'm in his hands.

"Xiao Ru, why don't you come and meet our darling grandson?"

Seeing Fang Xiaoru still standing there, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly urged him on.

The man then walked into Zhu Ming's room, bowed to Zhu Ming and Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "Fang Xiaoru, I meet the young grandson of the emperor."

"Fang Xiaoru?"

Zhu Ming was also shocked when he heard the name.

The Fang Xiaoru who taught Zhu Yunwen how to reduce the power of the princes and forced Zhu Laosi to rebel?

He looks like the kind of person who sticks to his principles.

However, judging from how Zhu Yuanzhang treated Fang Xiaoru, he seemed to value this scholar very much.

After all, although Fang Xiaoru was not good at politics, he could be regarded as the best literati of his generation in terms of scholarship.

The fact that Zhu Yuanzhang arranged him to be his own showed that he really wanted to train him.

"From now on, he will be your teacher."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Ming on the back and motioned Zhu Ming to stand up.

"Hello teacher."

Zhu Ming finally reacted, stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to Fang Xiaoru.

"Ah."

Fang Xiaoru also nodded in approval, and it was obvious that he had a very good impression of Zhu Ming.

"Grandpa Huang, you are not here just to introduce a teacher to me, are you?"

After greeting Fang Xiaoru, Zhu Ming turned around and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Considering Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he should have gotten up early in the morning for more than just such a simple matter.

"Of course. I want my good grandson to go out for a walk with me today."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Ming had seen through his purpose, he admitted it openly and was even happy that Zhu Ming had thought of this.

"Well, wash up first and change your clothes. Grandpa Huang is waiting for you outside."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming's still somewhat messy clothes and hair, smiled, and walked out with Fang Xiaoru.

Zhu Ming looked at the backs of Zhu Yuanzhang and Fang Xiaoru and was stunned for a moment.

Old Zhu really values ​​himself.

"Xiao Ru, what do you think of our good grandson?"

After leading Fang Xiaoru out of the side courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at Fang Xiaoru and asked.

There is uncontrollable anticipation in his words.

What he likes to hear most is others praising his good grandson.

"The little prince is very talented and intelligent. With a little training, he will surely become a wise ruler."

Fang Xiaoru bowed again and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Okay, okay, then I'll leave this good grandson of ours to you."

As expected, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard Fang Xiaoru say that Zhu Ming was a potential wise ruler, he was visibly happy.

"You are responsible for training him to become a wise ruler of this generation."

If what Fang Xiaoru said was true and Zhu Ming could really become a wise ruler, he would not mind handing over the country to Zhu Ming.

He also didn't think that Fang Xiaoru would deliberately flatter him in order to please him.

"According to the order."

Fang Xiaoru responded firmly.

"Okay, go back and get ready."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to waste Fang Xiaoru's time any longer as he had to take Zhu Ming out today. He waved his hand and asked him to leave: "When our good grandson comes back, you can give him lessons."

"My lord, please retire."

Fang Xiaoru bowed again with an upright manner and then stepped back. His every move was just as the Confucian scholar had written in the book.

No wonder all the scholars in the world recognize Fang Xiaoru.

“People who read books are different.”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fang Xiaoru's figure, shook his head, and couldn't help sighing.

After waiting in this side courtyard for a while, Zhu Ming finally changed into a set of brocade clothes and walked out.

"Grandpa Huang."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang waiting at the door, Zhu Ming also called out obediently.

"Our dear grandson is getting more and more handsome."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at Zhu Ming and picked him up again.

Zhu Ming had long been accustomed to Zhu Yuanzhang's unexpected and intimate behavior, and just looked at him in confusion: "Grandpa Emperor, where are we going?"

"Then my dear grandson will know."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Ming's question, he did not rush to answer, but kept it in suspense.

"Isn't Eunuch Yunqi following?"

Zhu Ming looked around Zhu Yuanzhang and noticed that the eunuch Yunqi, who had always been following Zhu Yuanzhang, was surprisingly absent today.

"If he doesn't go, it will just be the two of us today."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, hugged Zhu Ming and walked out of the palace gate.

Zhu Ming was in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms. As he watched Zhu Yuanzhang carry him out of the imperial city, his doubts grew more and more serious.

This Old Zhu, is he trying to throw himself away?

This shouldn't be the case. He just introduced Fang Xiaoru to me as my teacher. This isn't possible.

"Come on, dear grandson, come down."

Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Ming to a busy street at the foot of the capital city, then put Zhu Ming down and walked inside, holding his hand.

In order to bring Zhu Ming out, he specially prepared a set of casual clothes.

Coupled with his peasant origin, he doesn't feel out of place in the busy city.

Zhu Ming just followed Zhu Yuanzhang and walked in this busy city.

Watching Zhu Yuanzhang constantly picking up things and asking the price, he frowned slightly from time to time, sighed and put them down again.

Today's Zhu Yuanzhang is really abnormal.

However, Zhu Ming did not ask out loud. Anyway, when the time came, Zhu Yuanzhang would tell him himself.

"The Ministry of Revenue received a memorial yesterday."

After visiting several stalls, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his voice and explained quietly in Zhu Ming's ear.

His voice was very soft, and in this noisy city, only Zhu Ming could hear it clearly.
