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

The corpses he was talking about were the unidentified bodies that brought Zhu Ming and his team here.

Those people fought with Hu Wei and turned the charity hall into a mess, naturally it was also because of these corpses.

There are more than just these unknown corpses parked in his charity hall.

There are also the bodies of other civilians in Ji County.

The dead are the greatest, so he can't let this happen again.

Although he is addicted to alcohol, he still has a conscience about this matter.

"can."

Zhu Ming nodded and spoke helplessly.

After placing the corpses in the county government office, those people did not dare to act so blatantly.

He subconsciously turned around and took a look at the corpses.

Because of the fight, the white cloth covering them had long been lost and their entire bodies were exposed.

What Zhu Ming saw was the hand of the corpse.

It is unusually large and looks like the body of a martial artist, or someone who needs tremendous strength like a blacksmith.

Even after a person has been dead for so long, the calluses on his hands have not completely faded away.

"It is the hand that holds the weapon."

A weak voice confirmed Zhu Ming's guess.

He turned around and saw Hu Wei had woken up and was looking at the corpse's hand with his head tilted.

Seeing that he woke up, Mu Ruanjun nodded, squatted down and took out the silver needle from his body.

"Although the poison has been resolved, my body has not recovered yet and I need to rest."

After leaving a few words, she turned and walked towards the corpses.

The hand of the corpse was indeed ignored by her.

Now it seems that it is indeed as Hu Wei and Zhu Ming discovered.

Even after hearing Mu Ruanjun's instructions, Hu Wei did not obey. Instead, he forced himself to stand up with his weak body and walked towards the corpse with unsteady steps.

He stretched out his hand and placed his palm together with the corpse's palm.

He was a martial artist, and the calluses on his hands were extremely thick, even thicker than those on the corpse.

It is precisely because of this that he achieved his superhuman skills.

"what do you mean?"

Zhu Ming looked at Hu Wei.

Since it is the hand of a martial artist who holds weapons all year round, there is only one possibility in Ji County.

That's the military camp.

I didn't expect to come across this kind of clue in such a busy schedule.

"But, there are only 500 men in this county. Without these few men, they will definitely be discovered."

Chen Hong still had some questions in her mind.

He has only 500 men in Ji County, and even fewer if the empty salaries are deducted. These men are definitely not from Ji County.

This is also said to remove Ji County from this matter.

"I know."

Zhu Ming nodded. These people didn't even die in Ji County.

However, the murderer saw that Ji County was remote and had few people coming and going, so he hid the body here and buried it to obfuscate the time of death.

"Brother Royal."

Now that the clue had been found, Zhu Yunhuan turned to look at Zhu Yunwen and asked tentatively.

Zhu Yunwen was the eldest brother among them, so when they went out, it was still a symbol to ask him a few questions.

"The assassin we caught must also be tried."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, agreeing with the opinions of Zhu Ming, Zhu Yunhuan and others.

But the assassin they just caught in the mountain also needs to be tried.

"Now that our three good grandchildren are gone, it's so lonely in the imperial city."

In the Daming Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne and sighed helplessly.

Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Ming and others were gone, and there was no one in the palace with whom he could confide.

He is an old man, so naturally he is lonely.

When there is no one around, I can't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, why did you summon me here?"

Led by Yun Qi, Yang Shiqi slowly walked over, knelt down in the hall, and asked in a deep voice.

After he finished speaking, he raised his head again and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang cautiously.

Serving a monarch is like serving a tiger, especially a monarch like Zhu Yuanzhang.

So, he also has to be careful.

"I'm here to ask you something."

When a stranger came, Zhu Yuanzhang coughed, and then returned to his imposing manner, waving his hand: "Yunqi, please take a seat."

Yun Qi then moved a chair and asked Yang Shiqi to sit down.

"Your Majesty, I am a stupid and ignorant person. Please explain clearly."

Yang Shiqi really couldn't figure out what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, so he bowed and asked again.

At this time, he was already an important official in Zhu Yuanzhang's newly established cabinet and had some position around Zhu Yuanzhang, so he had the courage to ask.

"Among our three grandchildren, who do you think is the most virtuous one?"

Zhu Yuanzhang tapped lightly on the desk with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

It's not loud, but it feels oppressive.

"This……"

When asked this by Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Shiqi also hesitated.

I didn't know how to ask or answer for a moment.

When Zhu Yuanzhang asked him this question, it was clear that he wanted him to participate in the establishment of the crown prince.

But he was introduced by Zhu Ming, so he needs to be careful with his words when it comes to such a big matter.

"Don't worry, no matter how you answer, you're innocent."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew Yang Shiqi's concerns, so he waved his hand and laughed loudly, trying to make Yang Shiqi relax a little.

"Since Your Majesty asked, it must be the young grandson Zhu Ming, all national policies and the Ming Dynasty."

After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, Yang Shiqi stood up and responded seriously.

Among the several imperial grandsons, the one who had the greatest influence on the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly Zhu Ming, the imperial grandson who came up with national policies several times.

He would have said so even if he was not introduced by Zhu Ming.

What's more, Zhu Ming has done him a favor, so he will naturally help Zhu Ming win favor.

"Then, how about I make my little grandson the crown prince?"

Seeing Yang Shiqi's answer so affirmatively, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked again.

He also agreed with this answer.

However, there has been a rule since ancient times that the eldest son should be appointed as the heir rather than the most capable one, and this is what he is most concerned about.

"This...the establishment of a crown prince is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. I dare not speak carelessly."

When asked this question by Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Shiqi took a step back and stopped answering.

He wasn't stupid enough to give a direct answer, he just gave a brief comment.

"You were introduced by Ming'er, so why don't you speak for him?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang showed an unhappy expression, looked at Yang Shiqi and asked in a deep voice.

"The young emperor's grandson has selected talents for the country. Yang Shiqi is a minister of the Ming Dynasty. The way to repay his kindness is to do my best for the Ming Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shiqi knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

Even though everyone knew about this kind of thing, it was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang brought it up so directly.

This is not a good sign.

Yang Shiqi naturally understood this and immediately severed his relationship with Zhu Ming.

He was a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally he was thinking about the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, being loyal is good."

Yang Shiqi's answer obviously satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang. He nodded, and the expression on his face eased a lot.

"As a senior official in the cabinet, what do the ministers in the court think about this matter?"

He no longer asked about Yang Shiqi's opinion, but instead asked about the situation of the ministers in the court.
