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

Chapter 303 Zhu Yuanzhang's Triumph!

After dealing with Lady Lü.

Zhu Ying and the other two slowly retreated from the main hall of the Cold Palace. The hall door was immediately closed, leaving only Lady Lü inside, screaming madly.

but.

Zhu Biao, standing to the side, looked worried.

Looking at Zhu Ying, he seemed hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to.

"rest assured."

"I was just trying to scare Madam Lü a little, to make sure she didn't die so easily."

Zhu Ying clearly saw Zhu Biao's worries, so he began to explain.

Hear this.

After Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, he said with a hint of guilt, "Xiong Ying, it's not that I want to take care of them, but because they are my bloodline after all. Besides, I can't let you bear the name of killing your brothers."

"later."

"I will not care about their life or death after they are exiled to Qiongzhou."

"Whether they survive or not depends on themselves, but you must never do it yourself."

Obviously.

Zhu Biao was worried that Zhu Ying would directly target the three Zhu brothers, and that being branded as a fratricide would not be a good thing.

"They're not worth my time," Zhu Ying said with a faint smile, unconcerned.

Without the status of being a member of the royal family, it would have been as easy for Zhu Ying to crush the three Zhu brothers as to step on ants.

See this.

Zhu Biao didn't say anything more.

"Your imperial grandfather just said that after the imperial examinations are over, the Ministry of Rites will arrange a ceremony for you to recognize your ancestors in the next few days. Yu'er and Wenxi will both be there."

"As descendants of the royal family, they will all be made into jade tablets of identity."

"Yu'er and the others should also be recorded in the family genealogy," Zhu Biao said slowly.

"it is good."

Zhu Ying nodded and immediately agreed.

After Zhu Biao gave his instructions, Zhu Ying did not linger in the Eastern Palace and left immediately.

The main gate of the East Palace.

Zhu Biao stared at Zhu Ying's departing carriage, unable to recover for a long time.

"Yunxun."

"When do you think Xiong Ying will be able to return to the Eastern Palace?" Zhu Biao suddenly asked.

In response to this question...

Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment, then said, "Now that my elder brother has started a family and has a residence outside, he can naturally return to the Eastern Palace when Father ascends the throne."

Hear this.

Zhu Biao nodded.

Indeed.

Even though Zhu Xiong Ying grew up in the Eastern Palace, he still has to go out and establish his own residence now.

If Zhu Ying is to return to the palace, the only option is for Zhu Biao to ascend the throne.

but.

When Zhu Biao came to his senses...

“You’re fifteen now, it’s time to arrange a marriage for you.” Zhu Biao turned around and said to Zhu Biao with a smile.

You can hear this.

Zhu Yunwen panicked and immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Biao.

"Father."

"I am still young and not in a hurry to get married. Besides, I already have someone I like," Zhu Yunwen said somewhat anxiously.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly and said, "Tell me, which girl do you fancy? I will go and propose marriage for you."

"I will not hide it from my father."

"Sister Yunyu has always treated me very well, and I also have feelings for her. Please grant my request, Father." Zhu Yunwen pleaded directly.

Over the years, I have suffered suppression from the Lü family. If it weren't for Yunyu's guidance and care by my side, I would have been in dire need of help.

Zhu Yunwen wouldn't have lasted this long anyway.

There was no chance for his older brother to return.

"Clouds and rain."

"She's five years older than you."

"Being a concubine would be acceptable."

"I can grant your wish."

Zhu Biao answered Zhu Yunwen's request without hesitation.

After all, Yunyu was just an ordinary palace maid with no family background, and she was much older than Zhu Yunwen, so she could only be a concubine.

As the legitimate son of the Crown Prince, his wife should rightfully be a young lady from a prominent family.

You can hear Zhu Biao's words.

Zhu Yunwen remained kneeling and said loudly, "Father, I have a sincere heart for Yunyu. I wish to marry her. Please grant my request."

Seeing Zhu Yunwen like this, Zhu Biao frowned.

"Over the years, she has indeed taken good care of you, but ultimately her status is too low and she is not good enough for you."

"Allowing her to be my concubine is already the greatest tolerance I can show," Zhu Biao said in a deep voice, with a stern tone.

"Father."

"Your subject will not marry anyone but Yunyu."

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and replied with utmost seriousness.

This is obviously the case.

Zhu Yunwen had already made up his mind.

If it was before.

He never had the courage to face his father so directly, but now things are different. Under the guidance of Lan Yu and the others, Zhu Yunwen truly understands what it means to be a man's responsible man.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen like this.

An angry look also appeared on Zhu Biao's face.

But perhaps because he hadn't taken care of Zhu Yunwen all these years, Zhu Biao ultimately didn't explode.

"This matter."

"I will not grant it."

Zhu Biao said in a deep voice, then turned and left, leaving Zhu Yunwen kneeling on the ground with a bitter expression.

This time!

Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Your Majesty."

"We just received a message from the prison."

"The Duke of Liang and his entourage of Huaixi generals entered the imperial prison with clubs and broke the hands and feet of all the male members of the Lü family," Yun Qi said respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed no surprise whatsoever.

"If it's interrupted, then it's interrupted."

"Let them suffer some torment before they die, that's fine too."

"Once the entire Lü family is captured, execute them all at once," Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

My own daughter-in-law, my own wife.

They were all harmed by the Lü family.

Lan Yu and his men stormed into the prison to deal with the Lü family, but that was no big deal.

"One more thing."

"When Duke Liang arrived at the prison where Shen Wansan was being held, he angered Shen Wansan to death," Yun Qi reported respectfully.

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang, however, looked quite surprised: "Shen Wansan is an old fox. He started his fortune during the Yuan Dynasty and has been doing so ever since. Knowing him as we do, he won't be willing to die until the very end."

"How did he get so angry at Lan Yu, that warrior, that he died?"

Zhu Yuanzhang became curious.

In the bottom of his heart.

Shen Wansan was a cunning old fox, the kind that was extremely treacherous.

Although Lan Yu is domineering, he doesn't have many tricks up his sleeve.

"It is said that the Duke of Liang directly mocked Shen Wansan for giving up the unpolished jade and told Shen Wansan about his identity as the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"After hearing this, Shen Wansan vomited blood and died of anger," Yun Qi reported with a smile.

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked enlightened, then laughed: "Hahaha."

"Lan Yu has actually been smarter this time."

"That old bastard Shen Wansan has always wanted to change his family's social class, and he has been constantly arranging marriages for this purpose, but he actually gave up Xiong Ying and chose the Lü family instead."

"It would be strange if Shen Wansan didn't die of anger after learning Xiong Ying's identity."

talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily.

"It's just that Shen Wansan got off easy by being so angry that he died, thus avoiding that fatal blow," Yun Qi chimed in from the side.

"nothing."

Zhu Yuanzhang simply raised his hand, showing no concern. Shen Wansan died of anger, and the regret he felt before his death was more unbearable than any torment.

Obviously.

Zhu Yuanzhang is extremely inspiring.

"The palace examination is tomorrow."

"After the palace examination, it is time for heroes to recognize their ancestors and return to their roots."

"Go to the Ministry of Rites and tell them to prepare well and not to make any mistakes."

"Furthermore, have the palace draft an edict to proclaim to the world that our grandson was blessed by the gods and immortals, resurrected from the dead, and returned from his trials among the common people with the merit of sealing the wolf's lair."

"Anyway."

"What we want is for the whole world to know my identity as the eldest grandson of the imperial family, and even more so, for the whole world to know that my imperial descendants are not people who crave enjoyment. Xiong Ying rose from humble beginnings, achieved great success, and climbed step by step to reach his current position, which is why he was able to recognize me and the Crown Prince. All of this must be announced," Zhu Yuanzhang instructed Yun Qi, who was standing beside him.

"This old servant obeys the decree." Yun Qi respectfully accepted the order.

"correct."

"By now, the news of Xiong Ying's identity should have spread throughout Yingtian, right?"

What has been the public's reaction?

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked with concern.

He also wanted to know how the common people viewed the fact that Zhu Ying was the eldest grandson of the emperor.

After all, this directly addresses the sentiments of the people.

"Your Majesty."

"The public reaction was huge, with many expressing surprise at the identity of the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"What's even more surprising is that the eldest grandson of the emperor has been living among the common people for so many years and has actually made such an extraordinary contribution."

"Countless people have praised the eldest grandson of the emperor, saying that he is indeed worthy of being the emperor's grandson, and that he is outstanding even among the common people, accomplishing unparalleled feats."

"Some people say that the eldest grandson of the emperor died and was brought back to life. It is also the will of heaven that he grew up among the common people. They say that it was the will of heaven that allowed the eldest grandson of the emperor to travel among the common people and understand their suffering. If he becomes the emperor of our great Ming Dynasty one day, he will bring blessings to the people."

"Some say the Emperor's eldest grandson's resurrection was due to divine protection, while others say he is the reincarnation of a god..."

Yun Qi had long known that Zhu Yuanzhang would inquire about matters concerning the common people, so he had made preparations in advance.

At this moment, he also told Zhu Yuanzhang the rumors circulating among the people.

And hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally all smiles.

"Hahaha."

"He truly is our grandson."

"He now enjoys extremely high prestige among the people."

"Good, good!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a big laugh, very pleased.

"The eldest grandson of the emperor has such prestige."

"It was earned through the bloody battles fought by the eldest grandson of the emperor in the Northern Expeditionary Army over the past few years. It was not based on the glory of the imperial family, but on his own ability."

"Therefore, the common people naturally have the utmost respect for the eldest grandson of the emperor," Yun Qi echoed.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement: "That's right, exactly."

“Xiong Ying rose from a lowly soldier to a Duke, which was earned through genuine military achievements, without relying on any royal status. Back then, we had no idea he was our grandson.”

For the royal family.

Zhu should be Zhu Xiong Ying, which is of great significance.

This achievement can be used to declare to the world that the imperial family can also fight for the Ming Dynasty.

It is of great significance.

now.

Zhu Ying also returned to the front of the mansion by carriage.

When they looked at the plaque above the mansion, they realized it was no longer the Duke's Mansion, but the Yu Huai Prince's Mansion.

A strange, unspeakable turmoil stirred within Zhu Ying's heart.

"Lord."

"Your subordinates are still in shock. You are actually the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty."

Liu Lei, standing to the side, looked at Zhu Ying and said with great shock.

The sound was hard to calm down.

"Don't even mention you, I never expected this myself."

"I am actually Zhu Xiong Ying."

Zhu Ying also said with a hint of helplessness.

Father, like son.

Zhu Ying really didn't expect to have such an identity, but it was precisely because of this identity that his path after joining Yingtian was so smooth.

Even the arrogant generals of Huaixi, like Lan Yu, showed weakness and even frequently tried to curry favor.

"Lord."

"Then we probably won't need to go outside the Ming Dynasty anymore."

"In the future, the entire Ming Dynasty will belong to the sovereign."

Liu Lei suddenly thought of something and said in a low voice.

Listen to this.

Zhu Ying wore a meaningful, bitter smile.

"Yes."

"From today's perspective..."

“There is no need to go outside the Ming Dynasty,” Zhu Ying said slowly.

According to Zhu Yingyuan's original plan.

They were accumulating their own strength within the Ming Dynasty, secretly training assassins to prepare for conquering territories outside the Ming and establishing a foothold in the future.

Then came the training of various craftsmen, who were used to bring the technology that Zhu Ying had acquired to life.

Step by step, we will expand our territory and create a technological nation that surpasses this era.

then.

If the Ming Dynasty were to enter a period of chaos, just like in history, Zhu Ying could seize the opportunity to take control of the Central Plains, use the Imperial Seal of the State as his supreme authority, and ascend the throne as emperor.

This was Zhu Ying's idea.

Just didn't expect it.

After much calculation, he realized that these things seemed superfluous. He had no need to establish a country abroad, nor did he need to waste his energy thinking about how to survive, establish a country, or create something abroad.

because.

The entire Ming Empire will belong to him in the future.

Tens of millions of people in the Ming Empire will also be his subjects.

Zhu Ying didn't need to waste time outside of the Ming Dynasty at all. Instead, he could start his own technological empire on the already established Ming Empire.

"It's like a dream."

"I reckon the brothers in the Imperial Guard are all dumbfounded," Liu Lei said with a smile, quite emotional.

At this moment.

"We sincerely welcome the prince back to his residence."

Inside the palace.

Xiao Han and Lu Hao, the two commanders, quickly stepped out.

Behind them were a group of guards dressed in battle armor.

They had already changed their clothes.

Only Liu Lei and his hundred personal guards had not changed their uniforms.

Every guard before me had changed into a more imposing royal guard armor, similar to that of the Imperial Guards, and each wore a red cloak, as if it were a symbol of their status.

To know.

Within the Ming Empire, the army was governed by strict rules.

The most exquisite armor belonged to the Imperial Guards and the Golden Guards, and they were easily identifiable by their red cloaks and fine iron swords.

It can be said that the weapons were excellent.

Moreover, it is a display of status.

It should be noted that in the army, only the deputy commander was allowed to wear a cloak, which was considered a general's armor.

Think about it.

How imposing this army of red-cloaked soldiers must be!

but.

This honor was perhaps only reserved for Zhu Ying. Other princes' guards might also wear royal armor, but they didn't have red cloaks, which was obviously Zhu Ying's arrangement.

They gave us the best one right away.

"No need for such formalities."

Zhu Ying nodded and waved his hand.

They then walked into the mansion.

Liu Lei and his personal guards followed closely behind.

"You brats."

"You guys changed it pretty quickly."

"What about mine?"

Seeing the royal armor and red cloaks worn by Xiao Han and the others, Liu Lei was extremely eager.

The same was true of the guards behind him.
