Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 297 Grandfather and Grandson Conversation! The Shock Brought by the Eldest Grandson of the Emperor, Zhu Ying!
Zhu Ying's words were like a thunderclap, resounding throughout the entire court!

this moment.

Everyone admired Zhu Ying's character even more.

“You are not only Zhu Ying, but also Zhu Xiong Ying.”

“You are not only a Duke of my Great Ming Dynasty, but also our own grandson.”

"Your father and I will wait for you to remember everything that happened." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a gentle smile and in an extremely gentle tone.

This attitude.

This warmth.

The ministers in the court had not been seen for a long time.

If they didn't know that the person sitting in the high position was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they would have thought that the person in the high position was just an ordinary old man.

"Yongying."

“What your royal grandfather said is what I said.”

"Heaven has eyes, allowing us to regain what we lost."

"Father, we'll wait until you remember," Zhu Biao said gently.

See this.

A touch of emotion appeared on Zhu Ying's face. He nodded and said no more.

And this time!
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.

"Back then, we failed to protect you."

"But things are different now."

"We will protect you and will not let anyone hurt you again."

"Yunqi, announce the imperial decree."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke.

Followed.

Yun Qi slowly stood up and picked up a pre-prepared imperial edict from the imperial desk.

Then he looked at the court officials.

He loudly proclaimed, "By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:!"

"now."

“Our grandson, Zhu Xiong Ying, was lost and then found.”

"He deserves a reward and compensation."

"The eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiong Ying, is granted the title of Prince of Yu Huai."

"Enjoy the dignity of a prince and the privilege of traveling in royal entourage."

"The Duke's mansion will be upgraded to the standards of a royal mansion, and the guards in the mansion will be upgraded to royal guards, all of whom will be granted the same honors as the royal family and monarchs."

"Appreciate this."

Yunqi read it aloud.

Regarding this award.

No minister in the court found it strange, after all, Zhu Ying was no longer an outsider, but the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Not to mention being granted the title of Prince, the entire Ming Dynasty will belong to him in the future.

Why are you so sure?

The officials in the imperial court are not stupid.

Not to mention that Zhu Xiong Ying was the eldest grandson of the emperor, of noble blood and of high status.

He is the first in line to the throne of the third generation of emperors, a position he is exceptionally favored by heaven.

Even if Zhu Ying returns as a mediocre talent who isn't particularly outstanding, we'll still try to make up for it and salvage the situation, since his status is already established.

but!
The former Zhu Ying, now the eldest grandson of the emperor Zhu Xiong Ying, is no ordinary man, much less an ordinary talent!

After so many years among the common people, he not only did not fade into obscurity, but even became the greatest military general of the Ming Dynasty, achieving the feat of sealing the wolf's lair, a feat that is unique in history. His fame resounded throughout the Ming Dynasty, and he was remembered in history.

This naturally made Zhu Ying's future position as emperor even more secure.

Who can question it?

Who can rival him?

After hearing the imperial edict bestowing the title...

Zhu Ying, with a solemn expression, knelt down for the first time.

He bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, who were in high positions.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, those who hold noble titles are not required to kneel before the emperor.

However, the person Zhu Ying was bowing to this time was not the emperor, but a blood relative.

See this scene.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao exchanged a glance, both wearing smiles of satisfaction and excitement.

Their U.A. has truly grown up.

"Your subject accepts the imperial decree and expresses his gratitude," Zhu Ying said loudly.

Yun Qi immediately took the imperial edict, walked quickly to Zhu Ying, and respectfully handed it over.

Zhu Ying grasped the imperial edict with both hands and slowly stood up.

"Your subjects pay their respects to King Yu Huai."

All the civil and military officials shouted in unison.

King Yu Huai!
These three words.

This title.

It clearly carries a special, profound meaning.

This was used to mourn Zhu Xiong Ying's passing in the past, and now it is to remember what happened back then.

"Gentlemen, please rise."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly.

The voice fell.

The officials slowly stood up, and in that moment of kneeling and standing, they witnessed an earth-shattering event for the Ming Dynasty.

but.

Zhu Xiong Ying's return naturally made
"The Lü family."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the overall situation, his old face showing extreme coldness and sternness.

"Their evil deeds must be made public so that the world knows the crimes of the Lü family."

"This matter."

"The Ministry of Justice will preside over the trial. It's not just about the Crown Princess, but also about what happened to the eldest grandson of the Emperor back then. Find out everything the Lü family has been up to in secret," Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

The voice fell.

Minister of Justice Shen Jin immediately stepped forward and loudly proclaimed, "Your subject obeys the decree."

"And the Lü family too." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice turned serious.

Their gazes fell on Zhu Biao.

"Please rest assured, Father, I will handle this matter well, and I will be with Xiong Ying," Zhu Biao replied immediately.

"it is good."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without saying a word.

The Lü family.

For Zhu Xiong Ying, there was a blood feud involving the murder of his mother.

If Zhu Ying could kill him, that would be revenge.

I believe Zhu Biao will be able to handle things perfectly.

“With Lü Ben gone, his position as Minister of Rites is now vacant.”

"But the imperial examination has reached the most crucial stage, the palace examination, which cannot be failed."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping over the row of civil officials.

Not a moment.

His gaze immediately fell on Liu Jing.

"Liu Jing," Zhu Yuanzhang called out.

"The minister is here."

Liu Jing's heart pounded with excitement, but he maintained a calm demeanor.

perhaps.

Many people can also see that Liu Jing is about to take another step forward compared to others.

This crucial step was not due to his ability, but rather to the change in his identity.

No one thought of it.

The Liu family is about to experience a period of rapid growth.

After Liu Bowen's death, the Liu family had drifted far from the power center of Yingtian, or rather, it was impossible for them to return. But because of Zhu Ying, the Liu family not only returned, but also gained important positions. Now, they are even to be given the position of Minister.

All of this is because of Zhu Ying!

of course.

More importantly.

The Liu family also became relatives of the emperor.

Liu Yu'er, the eldest grandson's wife, is Liu Bowen's eldest granddaughter and the future Crown Princess, and even the Empress.

The experiences they had were truly moving.

The position of Minister of Rites is vacant.

"I hereby appoint you as Acting Minister, in charge of all affairs of the Ministry of Rites. This year's imperial examination will be handled entirely by you, Minister Liu," Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly, his tone slightly gentler.

Hear this!

Liu Jing knelt down excitedly and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your great kindness and will certainly not disappoint you."

"besides."

"Within the Ministry of Rites, those disciples and former officials of Lü Ben who voluntarily confess to having ties with the Lü family and committing rebellious acts may be dealt with leniently by the Ministry of Justice. However, if the Ministry of Justice or the Embroidered Uniform Guard discovers such cases, they will be severely punished."

"Liu Qing should also pay attention to this matter," Zhu Yuanzhang said again, with a strong warning.

The words fell.

This naturally caused a drastic change in the expressions of many officials in the imperial court who had been promoted by Lü Ben in the past.

even.

The same was true for those ministers who had a close relationship with Lü Ben.

Lü Ben committed such a heinous crime that it's easy to imagine that his entire clan would be wiped out, but how many people would ultimately be implicated is anyone's guess.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"The northern border is now at peace, but the deployment of border troops still needs to be decided, especially the border troops of Da Ning, and... and the army under the command of the eldest grandson of the emperor, no, the Prince of Yu Huai still needs to be deployed."

"This matter still needs to be decided."

Tang Duo stepped forward and respectfully reported.

"We will discuss this matter with Xiong Ying and draft a plan as soon as possible," Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your subject obeys the decree." Tang Duo bowed respectfully and said no more.

After Lü Ben's incident, the court discussions resumed, but they did not last long.

"All right."

"Let's conclude today's court meeting here."

"The court session is over."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"I'm waiting to retire."

After the entire court of civil and military officials shouted a call to action, they gradually retreated towards the outside of the hall.

However, Zhu Ying remained in the Fengtian Hall and did not leave immediately.

The court officials left in an orderly fashion.

They had just left the main hall.

Outside, there was a great deal of noise.

"Big brother."

"You kept this from us for so long!"

"Why didn't you say earlier that Zhu Ying was the eldest grandson of the emperor?"

"Look at us scoundrels, daring to embarrass the eldest grandson of the emperor! What are we going to do?"

"That's not true."

"This is really true. If we had known earlier that it was the eldest grandson of the emperor, we would never have dared to show any disrespect to him. We would have knelt down and begged for forgiveness long ago."

"..."

As soon as Lan Yu stepped out, a group of Huaixi generals surrounded him and began to complain about him.

Looking at them.

Lan Yu burst into laughter.

"Now you guys know my good intentions, right?"

"I've been leading you guys for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"When has Lan Yu ever backed down in the entire world?"

"But I'm only afraid when I'm facing U.A. High School and the Crown Prince."

"You idiots."

“However, if I had told you earlier, how could I have let that old bastard Lü Ben slip up?” Lan Yu said smugly.

He spoke very loudly at that moment, as if afraid that others wouldn't hear him.

now.

He was incredibly arrogant.

His grand-nephew has returned, and from now on, Lan Yu can act even more arrogantly.

"That bastard Lü Ben."

"I never imagined that my sister was killed by him."

"Damn the Lü family."

Chang Mao's face was filled with anger.

That's his own sister.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Take men to the Lü family. Although the Embroidered Uniform Guard arrested them, we don't know if any escaped."

"Even if we arrest them all, we should still teach these beasts from the Lü family a lesson in prison," Lan Yu said coldly.

Chang was his niece. Now that he knew the cause of her death, how could Lan Yu not be furious?
now.

Lan Yu and his group of fierce generals from Huaixi could no longer contain themselves and stormed out of the palace.

Looking at these arrogant and fierce Huaixi people, many ministers couldn't help but shake their heads, filled with emotion.

"I didn't expect that."

"The Duke of Wu is actually the eldest grandson of the emperor who died many years ago."

"Yes."

"Who could have predicted this?"

"The eldest grandson of the emperor, the Duke of Wu, joined the border army of Da Ning from humble beginnings, fought for several years, and achieved the feat of sealing the wolf's lair. Who could have imagined that?"

"The world of the Ming Dynasty has truly changed drastically, and we don't know what impact this will have on the future political situation."

"Ugh."

"The eldest grandson of the emperor comes from a military background, so he will definitely lean more towards military affairs in the future. Haven't you seen how arrogant Lan Yu and the others are?"

"uncertain."

"Although the eldest grandson of the emperor is in the military, he also has his own insights into political affairs and will not favor military officials in the future."

"I think so too."

"Let's wait and see. After all, the reason why the eldest grandson of the emperor could become a hero of our great Ming Dynasty and achieve the feat of sealing the wolf's lair is not because of his status as the eldest grandson of the emperor, but because he actually fought his way up on the battlefield."

"Nothing else."

"The city of Yingtian will be in an uproar from today onwards."

"Soon, the whole world will be in an uproar."

……

outer.

The officials gathered in small groups, discussing the matter.

Without exception, they were all discussing Zhu Ying, and the now-returned eldest grandson of the emperor.

Some people were worried that Zhu Ying would prioritize military over civil affairs in the future, while others worried that Zhu Ying's return would drastically change the political landscape. Even more so, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were all in a state of fear.

In short.

The current political situation is unlikely to calm down for long.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

Only the three of them—the grandfather, grandmother, and grandson—remained.

Yun Qi, who was serving nearby, also sensibly withdrew after the court officials had left.

They all naturally expected that the three of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, would have a lot to say.

"When did you discover that I was Zhu Xiong Ying?"

"When you saw Wenxi?"

Zhu Ying raised his head and asked with a hint of curiosity.

After all.

Zhu Ying was quite curious about this.

After all, this seemed to happen suddenly.

Perhaps it all started with her own son.

"actually."

“Your father and I found out at different times. Chronologically speaking, your father should have known first,” Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

That's it.

Zhu Ying thought of his first meeting with Zhu Yunwen in the Eastern Palace.

"Could it be that Zhu Yunwen said it?" Zhu Ying asked immediately.

Apart from that.

It seems I can't think of anything else.

That first meeting.

Zhu Yunwen seemed to be possessed, insisting that he was his elder brother. At first, I really thought Zhu Yunwen had gone mad.

result.

It turned out to be true.

I really am his older brother.

Even Zhu Ying, how could he have thought of this?

He had never considered himself a member of the royal family before. Even after verifying his jade pendant, he still thought he was a descendant of Zhu Wenzheng, only to find that he was wrong.

after all.

Zhu Xiong Ying has been dead for so many years, how could Zhu Ying have imagined that he was him?

"Precisely."

"When Zhu Yunwen first met you, he felt that you were his elder brother."

"Then he went to your great-uncle," Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Zhu Ying thought about it again.

indeed.

It was after meeting Zhu Yunwen that Lan Yu seemed to become a different person in the following days. She took the initiative to come to the mansion to apologize, and offered gifts to make amends. She was incredibly sincere.

At that time, Zhu Zhengdu thought Lan Yu had gone mad.

Now that I think about it.

All of this seems to have a pattern!
"Given the Crown Prince's lack of attention to Yuntong over the years, he shouldn't be certain of my identity based solely on his words, right?" Zhu Ying looked at Zhu Biao with a half-smile.

Listen to this.

Zhu Biao was also somewhat embarrassed.

It is a fact that I have not paid attention to Zhu Yunwen for many years.

In the past...

Zhu Yunwen was taken care of by Zhu Xiong Ying.

Even though Zhu Xiong Ying was still young at that time, he still fulfilled his responsibilities as the eldest brother.
