The Great Ming Demon Pill: Your Majesty, please address me as the Crown Prince!

I'll hurt your mother's head!

Zhu Zhanjun barely managed to hold back that one sentence.

He rolled his eyes.

What's with Zhu Zhanji pretending to be all innocent and pure?

He said lightly.

"Brother, there's a good saying: 'If you eat the king's food, you should also bear the king's worries.'"

"They can't even beat us, so who else can they worry about?"

"Give such high treatment to the Imperial Guards?"

"A locksmith really did come to our door to make a few locks."

[Ding! You have obtained a golden treasure chest!]

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhu and the others turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Zhu Gaochi burst into laughter, completely disregarding the ugly expressions on Yuan Zhu's and the others' faces.

The proverb about his eldest son really amused him.

Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong, and others couldn't help but laugh.

Although Zhu Zhanjun's words were somewhat vulgar, they were nothing in the army.

On the contrary, they thought Zhu Zhanjun was quite frank and unpretentious.

Zhu Di's lips curled into a smile, but he managed to suppress it.

He muttered to himself.

I don't know where Zhan Jun found these proverbs, they're quite interesting.

Zhu Gaochi's face twitched, and he glanced at his son with some worry.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes were somewhat gloomy, but he forced a calm smile.

"Zhanjun, as members of the royal family, we should be mindful of our language."

"It's best to avoid using such foul language."

Zhu Zhanjun pursed his lips.

"Brother, I disagree with that."

"Only by speaking filth can your mouth become clean; if you swallow filth, your heart becomes dirty."

[Ding! You have obtained a silver treasure chest!]

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

Where does this kid get so many twisted theories?

Zhu Di could barely suppress the urge to smile.

He coughed lightly twice.

"Zhanjun, Your Majesty, you were so composed in your command just now, as if you anticipated the enemy's moves at every step. How did you manage that?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon Zhu Zhanjun.

The military generals present were all meritorious officials who followed Zhu Di in the Jingnan Campaign and were quite powerful.

Their vision is truly exceptional.

Zhu Zhanjun's military strategy could be attributed to his innate talent, but his ability to anticipate the enemy's moves in mountainous terrain, as if he possessed a pair of divine eyes, was something they couldn't comprehend.

Yuan Zhu and the other Imperial Guards also stared intently at Zhu Zhanjun.

Although they lost to Zhu Zhanjun, they felt incredibly frustrated.

It felt like I didn't see many people at all from beginning to end; I was just being played.

What the hell gives them the right to do this?

Zhu Zhanjun chuckled as he met everyone's gazes and took the binoculars hanging around his neck.

"Grandpa, your grandson's ability to anticipate the enemy's moves is all thanks to this little gadget!"

Everyone's attention immediately focused on the brass double-barreled object in his hand. It was about a palm's length long, with a crystal lens embedded at each end. Its unique shape was unlike anything they had ever seen before.

Zhu Di took the telescope from Zhu Zhanjun; it felt heavy in his hand.

He looked at it over and over, somewhat bewildered.

"What's the secret behind this thing?"

"Your Majesty, this object is called a 'telescope,' also known as a 'thousand-mile eye,'" Zhu Zhanjun explained. "Through it, one can see distant objects several times closer, revealing every detail."

"Just now, I climbed to a high place and used it to observe the deployment and movements of Commandant Yuan and his men. That's how I was able to make advance preparations and gain the upper hand in every situation."

"A clairvoyant?" Zhu Di asked, his face full of question marks. "Zhanjun, are you kidding me?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

That sounds like something a charlatan would say.

Zhu Zhanjun blinked and smiled.

"Grandpa, you'll see once you try it!"

He pointed to the mountain ridge on the north side of Fragrant Hills in the distance.

"Look over there, there's a crooked tree."

Zhu Di was skeptical, so he raised the telescope and brought it close to his eyes.

He first adjusted the distance of the glasses, and after his eyes adjusted, he looked in the direction Zhu Zhanjun pointed.

The next moment, Zhu Di's body jolted violently, and the hand holding the telescope trembled involuntarily.

Through the lens, the crooked pine tree that was originally just a blurry outline in the distance was instantly brought closer, as if it were only a few dozen steps away. The texture of the trunk, the clusters of pine needles, and even the dew on the pine needles were clearly visible!

And there was a bird's nest on the treetop right in front of you. You could see the way the twigs in the nest were intertwined, and the feathers scattered around the nest. You could even see two chicks in the nest whose feathers had not yet fully grown, with their tender yellow beaks open, waiting to be fed!

[Ding! You have obtained a golden treasure chest!]

Zhu Di was shocked and dumbfounded.

He put down the binoculars, took a deep breath, and then raised them again to look around.

The surrounding scenery seemed to be suddenly brought closer.

Zhu Di was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and felt his hair go numb.

he murmured.

"It truly brings the distant view right before your eyes, as if it were within reach!"

"This thing... is simply miraculous!"

As an outstanding military strategist, he understood the strategic value of this thing all too well.

To put it bluntly, this thing can narrow the gap between ordinary generals and famous generals.

A top-tier general like him will elevate military command to another level.

Zhu Di was like a child who had found a favorite toy and couldn't put it down.

Sometimes he would point the telescope at the distant mountains, and sometimes at the guards a few dozen steps away.

The ever-changing scenery kept him entertained.

He didn't even care about his image, just kept grinning like an idiot.

Seeing the emperor's reaction, the people around him were extremely curious.

After a while.

Zhu Gaochi finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Father, let your son see too!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di put down the telescope and reluctantly handed it to him.

"Gao Xu, be careful when you catch it."

Zhu Gaoxu eagerly took it and, imitating Zhu Di, looked into the distance, then exclaimed in surprise.

Holy crap!

Holy crap!

Holy crap!

"Holy crap!"

Everyone looked at each other.

The King of Han's reaction made them feel like they were being scratched by a kitten.

What does it look like through this telescope?!

Even though Zhu Zhanji harbored resentment, he was also curious about what was so magical about this telescope that could make Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi lose their composure like this.

After a while.

Zhu Gaochi coughed lightly.

"Gao Xu, let me see too."

Zhu Gaoxu smacked his lips, reluctantly put down the binoculars, and turned them over and over to touch them.

"This is fucking good stuff!"

After saying that, he reached out and gave it to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi picked it up and glanced at it, then was speechless.

for a long time......

He finally sighed.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such a divine artifact existed in the world, comparable to the legendary celestial treasures."

These words aroused even more curiosity among the surrounding noble officials and ministers, including Zhu Gaosui, Zhang Fu, and Zhu Yong.

After Zhu Gaochi finished using it, he passed it on to them.

Zhu Gaosui took it and glanced at it.

Holy crap!

Zhang Fu took over.

Holy crap!

Zhu Yong took over.

Holy crap!

Afterwards, apart from a few civil officials, most people couldn't help but utter the elegant words of the Ming Dynasty after taking a few glances through the binoculars.

For a moment, the mountaintop was filled with shouts of "Holy crap!"
