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

It was not until the evening that Yun Qi ran in quickly from the palace gate.

After nearly a day's work, Erhu and the others on the ground had their legs numb.

"Say it."

As soon as Yunqi entered the door, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to ask questions.

"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to check for eunuchs who have entered and left the palace recently. Only Zhang Zhong, the old eunuch who is with the Crown Princess of the East Palace, has a record."

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, Yun Qi did not dare to hide anything. He carefully observed Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions before speaking with a complicated expression.

In order to let Zhu Yuanzhang understand more clearly, Yun Qi paused for a moment and then added: "The young eunuch in the East Palace said that just a few days ago, Zhang Zhong was seen leaving the palace with dozens of guards. Today, those guards have returned to the East Palace, but Zhang Zhong is nowhere to be seen."

Listening to Yunqi's report, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more nervous and began to pace back and forth.

Even Chen Ling and Erhu, who were kneeling on the ground, were thankful that they had reported such a big thing as soon as possible so as to avoid getting into trouble.

"Tell me, you were gone for such a long time, you didn't just check these, did you?"

Seeing Yunqi stopped, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him impatiently and asked him to continue.

His intuition told him that there must be some connection behind this.

"Yes, I also found out that just seven months ago, the Crown Princess drove a maid out of the East Palace. I suspect that this is also related to Zhang Zhong's departure from the palace this time."

Seven months, if you are pregnant, it is the time when your pregnancy starts to show

"Eastern Palace, the concubine seven months ago, the old eunuch..."

After listening to Yunqi's report, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped walking and began to ponder.

All of this began to connect in his mind.

As if realizing something, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold and he glared at Erhu and Chen Ling, the two Jinyiwei.

"Find out the truth about that palace maid for me, and keep it a secret. If we get wind of it outside, all of you will die."

Erhu and the others naturally did not dare to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's order. Even Yunqi ran to their side and knelt down, saying in unison: "Yes."

Only after they walked out of the imperial city tremblingly did Erhu and Chen Ling breathe a sigh of relief.

"This matter will be left to you to handle. If you do a good job, you will be credited with finding the emperor's grandson."

Erhu patted Chen Ling on the shoulder and entrusted the matter to him.

At this moment, Chen Ling didn't care about her still weak legs and nodded with some fear.

The first time he entered the palace to meet the emperor, he was almost scared to death.

But this job is indeed as Erhu said, if it is done well, there will be a bright future.

After arranging the work of Erhu and others, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his seat and began to read the memorials again.

The Yellow River flood issue cannot be delayed even a moment.

It was not until the moon came out that Zhu Yuanzhang finished his government affairs and stood up and walked towards the side hall.

With the idea that Zhu Ming is his good grandson, the more he looks at Zhu Ming, the more he likes him.

The more I look at these features, the more they resemble my own gentle and elegant appearance.

"Whether you are our good grandson or not, we will treat you as our grandson."

He whispered and reached out to pick up the sleeping Zhu Ming.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's movements were very gentle, they still woke Zhu Ming up.

Looking at the old man's face that was getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, Zhu Ming, who was a little sleepy, subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it.

But the baby's appearance and chubby hands are adorable no matter what he does.

"It would be great if you were really our good grandson."

Looking at Zhu Ming's cute appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold back his pity and rubbed his face against Zhu Ming's tender skin.

Zhu Ming, a baby, was not strong enough to stop him. He could only let him rub against him, and finally gave up resisting.

"He is the emperor after all. If he wants to rub against me, just let him. It is better than being slaughtered by him."

Zhu Ming could only think so in his heart.

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang slept in the side hall where Zhu Ming was housed.

The news that the emperor picked up an abandoned baby, raised him in the palace and loved him very much spread throughout the palace in no time.

"Grandpa Emperor, Yun Wen greets you."

The next morning, Zhu Yunwen and a group of people stood outside the palace and shouted loudly, but no one in the palace responded.

After a long time, a young eunuch ran out of the palace and stood respectfully in front of Zhu Yunwen and his grandchildren.

"Your Highness, His Majesty stayed in the side hall last night and has not returned yet."

After all, Zhu Yunwen was Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved grandson, and they dared not neglect him.

"Good work."

Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a while before bowing to the young eunuch and walking towards the side hall.

"My dear grandson, I really like this little face."

Zhu Yuanzhang got up early and held Zhu Ming in his arms. He couldn't let go of him and even pinched Zhu Ming's face.

Zhu Ming could only let him fiddle with it and sighed helplessly.

It’s so early in the morning and I’m like a baby. Can’t I get enough sleep?

"Your Majesty, the emperor's eldest grandson is outside the door asking to see you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was happily teasing Zhu Ming when a eunuch bowed at the door and started reporting.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, as if thinking of his deceased son, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Let him in."

"The eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunwen?"

Noticing that Zhu Yuanzhang was getting depressed, Zhu Ming tactfully quieted down and reached out to pat Zhu Yuanzhang on the face.

With Zhu Ming's comfort, Zhu Yuanzhang finally calmed down a little.

Not long after the young eunuch left, a young man came in, stood at the door, and bowed, "Grandpa Emperor, Yun Wen is here to pay his respects."

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen and nodded.

Zhu Ming also followed the line of sight and looked towards the door. There was a gentle and elegant young man in gorgeous clothes.

Although there is a hint of intelligence in his eyes and eyebrows, he lacks agility and his every move is very regular.

It is no wonder that such a person would listen to the words of those nerds like Fang Xiaoru, and eventually the country fell into the hands of his uncle Zhu Di.

"Yunwen, why are you here?"

Zhu Biao had just passed away not long ago, and Zhu Yuanzhang could hardly control his emotions when looking at Zhu Yunwen.

The tone is also quite gentle.

"I heard that Grandpa Huang has returned, so I came to pay my respects. My father's spirit in heaven would not want Grandpa Huang to be so sad."

Zhu Yunwen responded.

"Alas, Yunwen, your father is gone just like that..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was moved with grief again and he sighed deeply. The pain of losing a son was not something he could just let go of.

What's more, Zhu Biao was his most beloved child, and he had originally planned to hand over the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Biao.
