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

"Great! Great victory on the front line, great news!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhu Yuanzhang did not blame Zhu Ming, but became excited instead.

The Japanese pirates had been causing chaos on the sea for many years, forcing him to issue an order of a maritime ban, and he had been furious for a long time.

Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's okay."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not blame Ande for bringing the war into his hands, Zhu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest with lingering fear.

"Then I'll go back tomorrow."

Zhu Ming acted as if he had been pardoned. He said something to Zhu Yuanzhang, then turned around and thought about leaving.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly put the letter down, looked at Zhu Ming's back, and said with a smile: "This, Fang Xiaoru taught you."

After all, I still can’t hide it…

Zhu Ming's figure froze and he turned around awkwardly.

Old Zhu was worthy of being the emperor who had been on the throne for so long, but this trick still couldn't be hidden from him.

"Grandpa Emperor, Ming'er knows his mistake."

He put on an aggrieved look, lowered his head, and apologized in a low voice.

"What could our good grandson do wrong?"

Seeing Zhu Ming's aggrieved look, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter.

There was no sign of life on his face.

"If you hadn't recommended Ande to me to fight the Japanese pirates, would we have achieved such a great victory?"

He stood up, walked to Zhu Ming, picked him up, and happily ruffled Zhu Ming's hair.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's habit of rubbing his head at every turn, Zhu Ming could only roll his eyes in his heart for the umpteenth time.

"General Ande is a foreigner, so it's normal that he doesn't know the rules. The fact that he wrote to you shows that he is grateful for your kindness."

After laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming in his arms and began to teach him earnestly.

With Ande around, my beloved grandson in the army finally has a supporter.

Although Ander's position is not very high, we should not rush into things.

"It just so happens that there was also good news coming from the north not long ago. Our dear grandson has made a great contribution."

As he spoke, he took a memorial from the desk and handed it to Zhu Ming.

Whether it was to wipe out the Japanese pirates or to pursue the bandits from the eighteen tribes on the grassland, Zhu Ming's ideas were indispensable.

A little kid has already achieved something, and this is what makes Zhu Yuanzhang happiest.

Our Ming Dynasty has a successor.

In the northern desert, Zhu Di rode a tall horse, looking at the endless grassland in front of him. His eyes were so deep that people could not tell what he was thinking.

"Your Highness, the victory report has been sent back."

It was not until a playful voice sounded from behind Zhu Di that his thoughts were interrupted and he came back to his senses.

The man standing in front of him, wearing a black monk's robe, looked at Zhu Di calmly. His aura was not suppressed at all, but instead showed a kind of calmness as if he was playing with the world.

"Yao Guangxiao, who do you think will be the heir to the throne?"

Zhu Di just glanced at the monk, turned around, continued to look into the distance, and asked meaningfully.

"Only among a few of the emperor's grandchildren."

Although Yao Guangxiao had not returned to Beijing with Zhu Di before, he had some judgment of his own about the situation in the imperial city.

He knew why Zhu Di asked this.

Zhu Di is the bravest and most cunning one among the many princes today.

Such a person has his own pride.

He obeyed His Majesty and his elder brother Zhu Biao, but was not convinced by other princes.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew this. After the death of Zhu Biao, the most popular prince, many other princes found it difficult to win the support of the people.

In order to check and balance them, the crown prince can only be chosen from among the many imperial grandchildren.

"Hmph, can those guys govern the Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing Yao Guangxiao's answer, which was not surprising, Zhu Di snorted coldly.

When he returned to Beijing this time, he had already seen the appearances of many of the emperor's grandchildren.

None of them is successful.

But just as he finished speaking, Zhu Di suddenly paused, and the image of a child who was young but behaved quite maturely emerged in his mind.

That kid...

"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"

The change in Zhu Di's expression naturally did not escape Yao Guangxiao's eyes. He walked to Zhu Di's side, stood side by side with him, and asked.

"nothing."

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said nothing more.

The person I trust the most in this world is Yao Guangxiao who is next to me, because he is a smart man.

But the person who should be most vigilant is Yao Guangxiao because he is too smart.

Yao Guangxiao assisted him not out of loyalty, but for his own ambition.

So, he won't tell everything.

When Zhu Di said this, Yao Guangxiao just chuckled as if he knew what was going on, and didn't ask any more questions.

"I heard that the military pay for this large-scale expedition was raised by a little grandson of the emperor?"

Even if Zhu Di didn't say it, he could still know what Zhu Di was thinking.

"Yes."

Zhu Di nodded helplessly, after all he couldn't hide it from this guy.

Chatting with smart people saves you trouble but you have to be careful.

"Your Highness, the prisoners have been brought here."

Yao Guangxiao wanted to say something else, but a shrill voice came from behind them, interrupting their conversation.

A fair-skinned man with a somewhat childish look was riding a horse and walking in front of a group of captives.

It was a very beautiful sight, and she stood out among this group of strong men.

"Sanbao, good job."

Zhu Di also smiled rarely. This man was one of the few confidants he could trust after Yao Guangxiao.

Although he is a eunuch, his abilities are first-class.

"Let's go back to the tent."

After taking another look at the long line of captives behind Eunuch Sanbao, Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and rode back on his horse.

"Okay, Grandpa Emperor still has to continue reviewing memorials. I'll play with you later."

After chatting with Zhu Ming for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly let Zhu Ming go and returned to his seat.

After looking at those memorials, his brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang being so serious, Zhu Ming also felt a little distressed.

It seems that being an emperor is not that easy. At such an old age, he still has to review memorials day and night.

And judging from Lao Zhu's frown, it seemed that he had encountered some difficulties.

"Grandpa Emperor, why don't you let the ministers discuss this together?"

He was beside Zhu Yuanzhang and asked with some concern.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a well-known model worker emperor. In terms of diligence, few emperors could compare with him.

Moreover, after the abolition of the prime minister system, there were no longer two people who could help him handle government affairs.
