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

"My dear grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, then he looked at Zhu Ming helplessly and sighed.

"We've thought about the two things you talked about with Grandpa Huang last time."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to tell Zhu Ming for a moment, for fear of dampening Zhu Ming's enthusiasm for handling state affairs.

Among all his princes and grandchildren, there was finally one who was willing to help him share the government affairs.

"Has Grandpa Huang encountered any problems?"

Zhu Ming raised his hand, touched Zhu Yuanzhang's unconsciously frowned brows, and asked with concern.

These policies involve a lot of issues, and it is foreseeable that they will encounter problems.

"My dear grandson is really smart."

Seeing that Zhu Ming saw through his predicament, Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief for some reason and patted Zhu Ming on the head.

"We can't even afford the money to build a big ship. We can't find anyone who can go to sea anytime soon."

Zhu Yuanzhang tried to slow down his tone as much as possible and patiently explained to Zhu Ming the difficulties he encountered with his ideas.

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Ming also touched his chin and began to think.

I have been staying in the palace all the time, and I am not very clear about the current financial situation of the Ming Dynasty.

If we want to make this voyage a reality, it seems impossible without money.

"As for the pilot..."

Zhu Ming has a way to deal with those who can afford to go to the distant sea.

Isn’t Zheng He here? And he also has Ande in his hands.

"We'll know tomorrow who can take the lead."

Zhu Ming raised his head and looked straight at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Ok?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

"Grandpa Emperor, leave this matter to me!"

Zhu Ming patted his little chest and took the responsibility.

This maritime ban has to be lifted no matter what.

If Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to delegate power to him, he could also try it.

"My dear grandson, are you so confident?"

Seeing Zhu Ming's determination, Zhu Yuanzhang was also motivated.

Since Zhu Ming wants to try it, let him try it.

Even if it fails in the end, the Ming Dynasty won't suffer any loss, and it can also accumulate some experience for Ming'er.

"Grandpa Emperor, let's give it a try tomorrow."

Zhu Ming nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, let's let our good grandson have a try."

Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed generously. Anyway, with the Jinyiwei there, there would be no danger tomorrow.

If it is done, it will also allow our good grandson to accumulate some reputation, and it will be easier to give Ming'er a status in the future.

Only after Zhu Yuanzhang left did Zhu Ming take out the world map.

Looks like it's time to go find that Ander.

The next day Zhu Ming got up very early.

When Liu Jin saw Zhu Ming, who had changed his clothes at dawn, he thought he had seen a ghost and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Having served Zhu Ming for so long, how often did his little grandson not get up on time?

"Liu Jin, take me out of the palace later!"

When Zhu Ming saw Liu Jin coming, he looked at him seriously and spoke in a deep voice.

Liu Jin was also shocked by Zhu Ming's serious look.

Why does my own little grandson feel like a different person?

"So, the class at the Omoto-do?"

He didn't know why Zhu Ming left the palace, so he asked hesitantly.

If I leave the palace now, I won’t be able to attend the classes in the main hall.

If His Majesty knew that I was the one who took the emperor's grandson out, I'm afraid he would punish me again.

"No, this is what Grandfather Emperor agreed to."

Zhu Ming responded casually, then dragged Liu Jin out of the palace gate.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a kid and it was so troublesome to go in and out, he wouldn't have to bring anyone else with him.

Liu Jin had no choice but to lead Zhu Ming out of the palace gate tremblingly.

The guards at the gate watched the little grandson of the emperor leave the house but did not dare to stop him. They could only open the city gate and let Zhu Ming out.

"Why didn't that boy come today?"

Xu Miaojin sat in his seat, looking at the door of the main hall from time to time, with his fists clenched.

She had promised Zhu Ming that she would give him a reward. Zhu Ming confiscated her hairpin yesterday, so she specially picked out her most beloved thing today.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ming didn’t come?

Could it be that he is afraid of himself?

"Little grandson, where are we going?"

Liu Jin brought Zhu Ming and, under Zhu Ming's instructions, came to the bustling city where he and Zhu Yuanzhang had strolled together last time.

Since Ander did not give the specific address last time, Zhu Ming could only grope his way towards the alley based on his memory.

Until he saw a familiar strand of blonde hair, Zhu Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Found it."

Ander sat on the ground, as if he had been waiting here for a long time. He stood up when he saw Zhu Ming behind Liu Jin.

"wait for me here!"

Zhu Ming immediately let go of Liu Jin's hand and ran towards Ander.

"Little grandson, be careful."

Liu Jin watched Zhu Ming run towards the foreigner and could only give him a few words of advice from behind.

When did this little grandson of the emperor get a friend who looks so strange?

"I knew you would come to me."

Ander looked at Zhu Ming who came to him without any surprise, because that was the nautical chart he had spent a lot of effort to complete.

"follow me."

Having said that, he turned around and led Zhu Ming into a small house in the alley.

Zhu Ming glanced at the house. It looked pitiful to be called a house. It was just a single room, and even the tables and chairs were broken.

Ander actually lives in a place like this.

"It's a temporary rental, a bit shabby."

Ander also knew that in the eyes of aristocratic children like Zhu Ming, such an environment was not pleasing to the eye.

“It’s really not good.”

Zhu Ming nodded and agreed with Ander's opinion as tactfully as possible.

"Why didn't you let that man in?"

Ander just shrugged indifferently and looked behind Zhu Ming.

"Um... I thought you wouldn't agree to have anyone else follow you."

When Zhu Ming heard Ander's question, he was also stunned.

Normally, wouldn't they try to keep such secret meetings from being known to as many people as possible?

That's why he subconsciously asked Liu Jin to wait outside the alley.

"I didn't say that."

Ander shook his head, looking innocent.

"Forget it, don't worry about it."

Zhu Ming waved his hand and changed the subject. He didn't want to waste any more time with Ander.

"What is your purpose in giving me the chart?"

He looked at Ander seriously and asked again.

Last time, Ander didn't answer his question. This time, he wouldn't let Ander fool him.

"Want power."

Ander responded simply.

"that power?"

Zhu Ming frowned and looked at Ander warily.

Old Zhu's Jinyiwei should be waiting outside the alley like Liu Jin.

If Ander behaves strangely, then I can break out by myself. There shouldn't be any danger with the Jinyiwei around.

"Yes, I am only valuable if I let you go to sea."
