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

"Brother, Zhu Ming left first."

After being escorted out of the Eastern Palace by Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Zhu Yunwen, and said goodbye loudly.

"Be careful on the road."

Originally, Zhu Yunwen disliked Zhu Ming, a commoner who was competing with him for favor.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang punished Zhu Ming last time, Zhu Yunwen had even less good feelings towards Zhu Ming.

If he didn't want to save his face, he wouldn't have come to see Zhu Ming off, let alone have a good face.

But Zhu Ming didn't take him seriously. He shrugged his shoulders and left with Liu Jin.

Zhu Yunwen also snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the East Palace.

"Mother, how did you get him here?"

When he walked in front of Lu, Zhu Yunwen's face fell and he looked at her with dissatisfaction.

"What do you know."

Lu glared at Zhu Yunwen, then glared back at him, looking at the place where Zhu Ming had just sat, lost in thought.

"This kid is not simple. Be careful when you get along with him in the future."

She tried several times, but Zhu Ming was unwilling to suffer any loss, and she was rejected by him several times.

"In front of your grandfather, show some more behavior and don't be like a block of wood."

Looking at his own son, compared with Zhu Ming, he is indeed a bit disappointing.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen still has the status of the eldest grandson. As long as nothing goes wrong, the country will still be his.

"understood."

After being scolded by Lu, Zhu Yunwen could only lower his head in grievance and agreed in a low voice.

"Zhu Ming."

Not long after Zhu Ming walked out of the East Palace, he heard a cheerful voice calling his name from behind.

He turned around hurriedly and Zhu Song had already put his hand on his shoulder.

"What's wrong, uncle?"

Zhu Ming glanced at him and asked.

"Why call me uncle? We are almost the same age."

Zhu Song was more open-minded and patted Zhu Ming on the chest.

There wasn't much of a difference in age between the two of them, and he wasn't really particular about what to address them.

"The emperor's uncle is the emperor's uncle."

Zhu Ming just responded calmly. The more royal a person is, the more strict the hierarchy is. It is better not to leave room for gossip.

"Forget it, you just came out of the East Palace?"

Seeing Zhu Ming's insistence, Zhu Song didn't say anything more. He just turned around to look at Dong Gong and asked in a low voice.

He saw Zhu Ming coming out of the East Palace.

"what happened?"

Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Song with some confusion. Is it a serious matter to come out of the East Palace?

"Since my brother died, the Crown Princess has become extremely strange. She dislikes everyone. I hope she didn't make things difficult for you."

Zhu Song lowered his voice and spoke slowly into Zhu Ming's ear in a tone of telling a horror story.

Even Zhu Ming had to admire Zhu Song, who indeed had a talent for telling ghost stories. These stories about living people sounded even more sinister in his tone than those of ghosts.

"No, we just chatted for a while."

Although Zhu Ming and Zhu Song have become closer recently, they have not yet reached the point of complete trust.

I didn't tell him everything I said to the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, I just dealt with it perfunctorily.

"Come to think of it, since Father loves you so much, he wouldn't dare to do that."

Zhu Song said this, then looked in the direction of the East Palace and rolled his eyes.

"And Zhu Yunwen, he's stupid and dumb, and he's favored only because he's the eldest brother's son."

When talking about Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Song's tone was quite contemptuous.

Zhu Ming also nodded in agreement with him.

Zhu Yunwen is indeed a little too good a boy, which makes it easy for people to look down on him.

"I tell you, if you weren't related by blood, the crown prince would definitely be you."

Seeing that Zhu Ming didn't answer, Zhu Song patted his chest again and spoke affirmatively.

After hearing this, Zhu Ming immediately became alert. He looked around for a while and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one else.

Can this be said casually?

You are in a bad state, so don't talk nonsense and implicate me.

"If you were the crown prince, I would definitely support you."

Zhu Song seemed to be completely unaware of how serious the topic he was talking about was and continued to talk incessantly.

He had known for a long time that he was destined to be a prince, so he didn't care about the position of crown prince.

"This is not nonsense."

Seeing that the old man had no intention of shutting up, Zhu Ming looked at him seriously, stretched out a finger and made a gesture to keep quiet.

"I'm not saying this nonsense. You'd definitely be a better emperor than him."

Zhu Song didn't understand what Zhu Ming meant at all, and Zhu Ming almost collapsed after hearing what he said.

If other people heard this, there would probably be a lot of news about it.

"I have met your two highnesses."

Zhu Ming was begging Zhu Song to stop talking when a tall figure walked towards them.

Seeing the two children, he bowed meticulously and said in a deep voice.

"Meet sir."

Zhu Ming looked up at the man and immediately returned the gesture with a big salute.

The person who came was none other than his teacher whom he had just mentioned, the great scholar of the time, Fang Xiaoru.

"Your Highness, my little grandson still has homework to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Fang Xiaoru did not reply, but just glanced at Zhu Song beside him, then reached out and took Zhu Ming's hand, then turned and left.

Zhu Song looked at Zhu Ming and Fang Xiaoru's departing backs with some embarrassment and said nothing more.

When Zhu Ming looked at Fang Xiaoru who took him away, he felt like he had seen his savior.

If Zhu Song were allowed to continue talking, who knows what shocking and outrageous remarks he would make.

"Your Highness, please stop saying those nonsense you just said."

Only after Zhu Ming was brought into the side courtyard did Fang Xiaoru let go of his hand, looked at him seriously, and gave him a warning in a deep voice.

"That was not the student's intention."

Zhu Ming could only look at Fang Xiaoru with a face full of grievance. From what he had just said, he knew that he must have heard everything Zhu Song had said.

But this really wasn't his intention.

It was Zhu Song, that guy who never stops talking until he shocks people with his words, who kept on talking.

"Whether it was the little grandson's original intention or not, you should stop him immediately to avoid being criticized."

Fang Xiaoru still looked serious, and instructed Zhu Ming word by word.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang entrusted the little grandson to me, I should teach him well.

Zhu Ming looked at Fang Xiaoru, feeling aggrieved but also somewhat surprised.

Fang Xiaoru is not as pedantic as imagined and does not know how to be an official.

So who is to blame for assisting Zhu Yunwen and losing his country?

"The Emperor asked me to teach Your Highness, but I never had the time. Your Highness's fault is my fault."

Fang Xiaoru sighed. He was indeed not competent in this regard.

Therefore, he also blamed himself for Zhu Ming and Zhu Song's gaffes just now.

This actually touched Zhu Ming a little.

"Then this lesson will be the first lesson I teach the emperor's grandson."

“Always remember to be careful with your words and actions.”
