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

"Why is the little grandson so surprised?"

Seeing Zhu Ming so surprised, Liu Jin asked cautiously.

The affairs of the imperial court are not something that the little grandson of the emperor should be exposed to at his age, so why should he care so much about them?

"That's not it, Fourth Uncle is here too?"

Zhu Ming's excitement did not stop there.

Zhu Di was named King of Yan and followed Lan Yu in his campaigns, learning how to deploy troops.

Since he became a fief, he rarely returns to Beijing.

Zhu Ming was also quite interested in this future Taizong.

"It should be there."

Ander just responded with a puzzled look on his face. As a foreigner who had just arrived at the court, he had basically never heard of these princes.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Zhu Ming didn't care about that. He turned around, grabbed Xu Miaojin, and ran towards the Daming Palace.

"you……"

Xu Miaojin wanted to speak out to dissuade him, but seeing Zhu Ming's excitement, she held back and let Zhu Ming pull her.

"Grandpa Huang."

As soon as Zhu Ming appeared on the stage, he attracted everyone's attention.

Even the generals like Lan Yu, who were supposed to be the protagonists, turned their heads after hearing Zhu Ming's childish and somewhat naive shout.

He had a burly physique, and was covered in heavy armor. His weather-beaten face looked very old. Just standing there, he exuded a murderous intent and was intimidating without even being angry.

Behind him stood a man in his early thirties or forties, wise and brave, but more reserved than the murderous Lan Yu.

After Chang Yuchun's death, Xu Da retired and Lan Yu became Zhu Yuanzhang's most respected general.

When Zhu Ming saw him, he was stunned.

Although I have been in the palace for a long time, I have not yet learned about the affairs of the court.

But logically speaking, Lan Yu should have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang by now.

Not only is he still alive and well, but he is also leading troops in the north?

"Uncle Zhu, Uncle Lanyu."

Unlike the stunned Zhu Ming, Xu Miaojin, as a junior, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Lan Yu and performed the junior's salute obediently.

"This is Jin'er, she has grown so big now."

As a general under Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu was close to Xu Da and Xu Da's children.

Seeing Xu Miaojin, he smiled and waved, wanting Xu Miaojin to come closer.

Xu Miaojin tugged at Zhu Ming's sleeve to bring him back to his senses, then walked towards Lan Yu.

"Lin'er, you must be scared."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming who was still standing there, and waved with a smile.

In his opinion, Zhu Ming was frightened by Lan Yu's battle-hardened aura.

It's not surprising since they are just kids.

"Come, come, this is your uncle Lan Yu, the emperor's most capable general."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked over, picked up Zhu Ming, walked in front of Lan Yu, and introduced Zhu Ming to him with a smile.

"This is the little grandson of the emperor, right?"

Lan Yu was also a little surprised when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang personally holding Zhu Ming.

Who is this child? It’s no wonder that he broke into the court without permission, and he is even doted on by His Majesty.

After the experience of bringing Ande in last time, the other ministers were more open-minded now and were not too surprised.

"Come on, call Uncle Lan."

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Lan Yu and continued to introduce Zhu Ming.

"Uncle Lan."

Zhu Ming also followed Zhu Yuanzhang and shouted obediently.

At the same time Zhu Ming shouted, Zhu Yuanzhang was also looking at Lan Yu, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold without a trace of anger.

Lan Yu's military achievements were beyond measure, and his prestige in the army was unmatched. Even Zhu Yuanzhang found it difficult to control him.

Originally, because I saw that he was related to Biao'er, I wanted him to assist Zhu Biao.

But since Zhu Biao's death, there has been no one among these princes who can suppress him.

If Zhu Ming or Zhu Yunwen did not take Lan Yu seriously, there would be no point in keeping him.

"Meet the little grandson."

Lan Yu just clasped his hands together, without bowing, and stood up straight to salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression immediately turned cold.

But Lan Yu had just returned from the border, so he couldn't get angry and endured it.

Zhu Ming looked at Lan Yu like this and didn't take it to heart.

After all, I am just a child and the only card I have in my hand is Ander. It is normal that Lan Yu looks down on me.

However, Lan Yu was like this in the court, so it was not a loss for him to be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This must be the little nephew that the emperor brought back."

The middle-aged man following Lan Yu stood up, looked at Zhu Ming in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, and greeted him with a smile.

"Lin'er, this is your fourth uncle."

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger finally subsided, and he began to introduce Zhu Ming again.

"Sure enough, he is Zhu Di, the one who overthrew Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Laosi."

Zhu Ming nodded secretly. This Zhu Di was indeed an extraordinary man. It was normal that Zhu Yunwen, that good boy, could not defeat him.

"I'll see Fourth Uncle tomorrow."

Facing this future big brother, Zhu Ming also put on an obedient look and called out sweetly.

"Oh, this little nephew is so cute."

Zhu Di also reached out and touched Zhu Ming's head, but no one could tell how much true emotion was reflected in those shrewd eyes.

"Today, General Lan Yu and the King of Yan just returned from the border. We are very happy and plan to hold a banquet to welcome the General and the King of Yan."

Zhu Di and Zhu Ming had just exchanged a few words when Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted them.

The topic that was interrupted by the appearance of Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin was brought back to the topic.

"His Majesty!"

Lan Yu and Zhu Di obviously had something else to say, so they spoke up quickly, but were interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"We are happy today. If there is anything, we can discuss it tomorrow."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he hugged Zhu Ming and retreated.

This sudden change caught all the ministers off guard, but now that His Majesty had left, they did not dare to stop him. They could only look at each other and then retreat helplessly.

"General, this... the military pay at the front..."

After all the ministers had left the imperial city, Zhu Di looked at Lan Yu with some embarrassment.

The reason they came back wasn't just to report the news.

"I know. I'll take a look at it tonight when His Majesty holds the banquet."

Lan Yu was also in a dilemma. The opportunity for battle ahead was fleeting and he was anxious.

"Alas, that's all I can do."

Zhu Di could only sigh, and finally took another look in the direction of the imperial city before retreating with Lan Yu.

I heard that the child was picked up by the emperor, and he looks a bit like the eldest brother.

Apart from his eldest brother and nephew Zhu Xiongying, this was the first time he saw his father attach so much importance to a child.

"Tomorrow."

Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin to retreat to the side hall, then he looked at Zhu Ming seriously and spoke earnestly.
