Since handing over the bookstore to Zhu Song, Zhu Ming finally had a good rest.

I woke up during the day to attend classes and play with Xu Miaojin. Except for feeling a little tired when attending Fang Xiaoru's class occasionally, everything else was fine.

Zhu Yuanzhang also discussed with Fang Xiaoru the issue of increasing salaries for all officials.

As soon as this order was issued, all the officials cheered.

After receiving white rice for so many years, one day I can finally receive real money.

Until the end of the month.

"Little grandson, little grandson!"

Zhu Ming was in a daze. He heard someone calling his name and then he opened his eyes half asleep and half awake.

Liu Jin was shaking his body anxiously, trying to wake him up.

He turned his head and looked out the window. It was just dawn, which was still early for him to get up on weekdays.

"What?"

Zhu Ming rubbed his eyes unhappily, slowly sat up, and looked at Liu Jin with eyes full of helplessness at being woken up.

Why do you wake yourself up so early in the morning?

"Little grandson, the servant reported that someone is looking for you outside."

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Ming's complaining eyes and knew that he was in a bad mood because he was woken up so early in the morning, so he immediately explained.

"Who is it? It's so early in the morning and I can't get a good night's sleep."

When Zhu Ming saw that someone was looking for him, he felt even more annoyed. He lay back down and covered his head with the quilt.

"He should be a soldier."

Liu Jin felt helpless when he saw Zhu Ming lying down before he could finish his words.

Hearing that it was a soldier, Zhu Ming immediately jumped out of the bed.

What does this soldier want from me?

He doesn't remember having any dealings with the Ministry of War recently.

But since you've come to find me, I can't care less.

Zhu Ming immediately washed up, changed his clothes, and took Liu Jin straight to the gate of the imperial city.

I saw a big man in cloth clothes, looking burly, standing outside the door, waiting motionlessly.

It was already autumn at this time, and even the weather in Nanjing was a bit chilly. However, the big man stood there, showing no sign of being afraid of the cold.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

The big man was so conspicuous that Zhu Ming knew he was the one looking for him without any introduction. He walked over and asked in a deep voice.

"Little grandson, our general is back."

The man named Zhu Ming came over and saluted respectfully. It was obvious that he was from the military.

As he spoke, he took out a painting and handed it to Zhu Ming.

"Your general?"

Zhu Ming was confused as he took the painting and opened it.

This painting is not in the style of the Ming Dynasty, but has a petty Japanese flavor.

"This is a thank-you gift from our general to His Royal Highness the Grandson."

The big man nodded and said nothing more. I guess this is all the general told him.

Looking at this gentle painting, Zhu Ming roughly knew who the general the big man was talking about, and quickly put the painting away.

"Where is Ender now?"

He looked at the big man and asked.

The only one who led troops into battle recently and was able to bring back these Japanese items was Ando, ​​who went on the expedition against Japan.

"Just outside the city."

The big man looked at Zhu Ming and responded in a deep voice.

"Does your Majesty know about this?"

With the lesson from last time, Zhu Ming was more careful this time. Looking at Zhu Ming, he said in a deep voice.

If this general secretly returns to the capital, it would be a capital crime of treason, and I wouldn't be able to protect this kid by then.

"The general submitted a memorial a month ago and will return to the capital to meet the emperor tomorrow."

The big man nodded.

Hearing that Ander had already written the letter, Zhu Ming felt relieved.

It seems that what happened last time has taught this kid a lesson.

"Come on, take me to see him."

As Zhu Ming spoke, he waved his hand and asked the big man to walk in front of him and lead the way.

"This kid wants to sneak out by himself again."

Behind Zhu Ming, a figure had taken it all in.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly and turned to look at the guards behind him: "You guys, follow up."

He did not object to Zhu Ming going to meet that Ande. He believed that his good grandson could develop his own power in the army, so that he would not be at a loss when fighting against those people from the Lu family in the future.

As the Crown Princess now, Lu has considerable connections in the court. Even if she has eliminated a group of people with the surname Lu, there are still many ministers with other surnames.

"By the way, how is Yunxun?"

Just as he was about to return to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to remember something, stopped, looked up and asked.

"The emperor's grandson has lived in the East Palace for a month, and there is nothing unusual."

The servant replied.

"Well, that's good. It would be great if my eldest grandson was here."

The eldest grandson Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned was Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Biao's real eldest son and the most beloved grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang. He was extremely talented.

It's a pity that he died young, which allowed Lu and Zhu Yunwen to have their current status.

Now that Zhu Yunhuan had returned to Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang began to think of Zhu Xiongying again.

"Forget it, forget it, go back."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again, waved his hand, stood up and went back to the palace.

"Oh my God."

Zhu Ming followed the big man and walked straight out of the palace gate, then heard a loud shout coming from the front.

Then I felt someone holding my arms and lifting me up.

"Ander!"

Zhu Ming frowned, and after seeing the man clearly through the hazy sky, he spoke in a deep voice: "Put me down."

"Oh, my apology."

Hearing the sound of Zhu Ming sinking, Ander put him down and smiled awkwardly.

After several months of fighting, Ander had several scars on his body and looked much more rugged.

"Forget it, it's okay."

Zhu Ming lowered his head to straighten his clothes that were messed up again and rolled his eyes at him.

Considering that Ander has been fighting for so long, I won't bother with him.

"You're meeting me here?"

Zhu Ming looked around. It was still dawn and there was no place to rest.

"Come on, come on, follow me."

Ender just laughed a few times. It seemed that several months of fighting on the battlefield had changed his personality.

"Little grandson, are you okay?"

Seeing Zhu Ming was about to follow Ander, Liu Jin asked with some concern.

"What's the matter? I believe him."

Zhu Ming just said it lightly, then ignored Liu Jin's worries and followed Ander.

He knew the principle of trusting people when employing them and not employing people if you don't trust them.

Seeing Zhu Ming being so decisive, Liu Jin gritted his teeth and followed him up.

After hearing Zhu Ming's words, although Ander did not speak, he still curled the corners of his mouth calmly.

This time he has made great military achievements and has the relationship with the emperor's grandson. In the future, he will be able to thrive in the Ming Empire.
