Chapter 1
In the 12th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, a prince named Zhu Yuanzhang No. 18 was born.

But no one knew that this mother-in-law's status was not high and her ranking was not high. It could be said that she was just a transparent prince, but she had a mysterious origin and identity.

It turns out that he is actually a time traveler from later generations, with mature memories of being an adult in the 21st century.

Although he was not familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhen also knew that his father Zhu Yuanzhang in this life was deeply in love with the prince Zhu Biao, and even after Zhu Biao's death, he wanted to pass the throne to Zhu Yunwen, who was not his legitimate grandson.

So Zhu Ming simply chose to lie down and hide all his secrets, and spent his childhood in the palace in a low-key manner.

Then in the 24th year of Hongwu, Zhu Zhen ushered in Zhu Yuanzhang's third canonization ceremony. From the old seventeenth above him, to the old twenty-five who is only three years old now.

Except for Lao 26, who died young, all the princes were canonized as the first generation princes of the Ming Dynasty.

Their oldest princes, who are only 13 years old, have all been crowned kings, not to mention the much older princes, many of whom have already married and established families.

Zhu Yuanzhang had three king-making ceremonies in total, namely in the third year of Hongwu, the 11th year of Hongwu, and this time the 24th year of Hongwu.

Except for Prince Zhu Biao, who is the sole heir to the throne, all princes are princes.

Lao Zhu is really good to his own children.

And Zhu Chu himself also became the King of Min in this canonization.

"Father, I want to conquer the territory as soon as possible."

Just above the court where the canonization ceremony was held, Zhu Zhen, who was only 12 years old, suddenly made a surprising statement.

All civil and military officials in the court, including Zhu Zhen's brothers, all looked at him in surprise. Even Emperor Hongwu, who was sitting high on the throne, was also surprised to see this man whom he had rarely seen even a few times. If he had met on the street instead of in this palace, Zhu Yuanzhang might not even know that the other person was his son's prince.

In fact, Zhu Ming lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang. He hardly knew the appearance of his father in this life.

"Old Shiba, you are still young. You should stay in the palace to study with Yun Wen and the Taifu," Zhu Biao spoke before his father, and winked at Zhu Zhen repeatedly.

Zhu Ming was moved in his heart.

In fact, many princes were unwilling to leave the blossoming capital after becoming kings. Today, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is still in Yingtian, instead of being moved to Yanjing later.

What's more, Zhu Zhen is only 12 years old, a full 24 years younger than the eldest brother of the prince.

In fact, even the son Zhu Yunwen mentioned by Zhu Biao is two years older than this eighteenth uncle.

But Zhu Ming had already decided to leave, and thought with disdain in his heart that he was too lazy to listen to those rotten eight-legged essays.

Just say that he is not a liberal arts major, but a science major.

What's more, with Zhu Chongba in the palace, I don't know if there are those famous Jin Yiwei, or Dongchang, West Factory, etc., as well as the little eunuchs everywhere.

Zhu Chu has been walking on thin ice in the past ten years and really wants to get rid of it.

So Zhu Ming continued to lower his head and said: "Thank you for your love, eldest brother. But my younger brother is stupid. Instead of wasting time, it is better to familiarize yourself with the territorial situation early so that he can fulfill his duties as soon as possible. Even if he dare not say that he will help his father share the pressure, We must also strive not to cause trouble to the imperial court."

"Oh? It's rare that you have such insight and responsibility at such a young age. You are worthy of being our son, hahaha," Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy with Zhu Ming's words.

Although he is a son whom he does not want to see, he is still his own flesh and blood after all. From the fact that Lao Zhu can impartially ennoble all the kings and make every son a prince, we can see that as long as you don't go against Zhu Biao, go Zhu Yuanzhang would not take action against his son to seize the unrealistic throne.

Zhu Zhen secretly wiped away the cold sweat.

You know, just a year ago, in the 23rd year of Hongwu, Li Shanchang, the most important figure in the founding of the country, was executed together with more than [-] people including his wife, daughter, brothers and nephews.Li Shanchang was a Korean public servant before, but he was only implicated in the Hu Weiyong case. Almost the entire family was beheaded.

Not to mention that the Hu Weiyong case broke out as early as the 13th year of Hongwu and lasted for ten years. Dozens of princes and nobles were implicated, a total of more than 3 people.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not only an immediate emperor, but also had an iron-blooded hand in politics.

If the big-footed horse queen was still here, she might be able to persuade him.

It is a pity that Queen Ma died of illness in the 15th year of Hongwu. Who dares to offend this decisive emperor now.

When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses were buried and blood flowed for thousands of miles. This is not just for talk, this could happen to Zhu Yuanzhang at any time.

So even though Zhu Ming was Lao Zhu's son, he still felt a little guilty, and even felt frightened in his heart.

But the more this happened, the more he wanted to escape from this damn palace and capital.

As a prince, even if he is only 12 years old, as long as he leaves the emperor's feet and stands firm in his own fiefdom, he will be the earth emperor.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was his son, but as long as he left Zhu Yuanzhang, he was also the father-in-law of others.

So who likes to be a son?

"Father, please grant me permission," Zhu Zhen bowed to the end with his hands clasped in fists.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Ming's look and felt pity in his heart. This eldest brother really acted as the elder brother to all his brothers and sisters.

Except for people with ulterior motives, at least on the surface, no brother dared to compete with him for the throne. This was not the Qing Dynasty, and no nine sons could compete for the throne.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "In this case, Yunnan has just been conquered, and I am a little worried that it will be unstable. Why don't you just change your title to Yunnan."

"Father?" Zhu Biao was shocked. He knew that Yunnan was not stable, so how could he let his younger brother go there?

But Zhu Biao seemed to have thought of something again. He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang secretly and found that Lao Zhu was looking at him with a smile.

Zhu Biaoshanshan smiled and understood: "My son also thinks this is good."

Yunnan?

Many thoughtful ministers also thought about it.

Who is guarding Yunnan now?
Of course, it is the Marquis of Xiping Muying. At the same time, Muying also has another identity. He is the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma. He was once called Zhu Ying. Later, because of Mu Ying's words, "His Majesty and Queen Mu's holy grace is like heaven and earth," the name was changed. For Muying.

It was also because Zhu Yuanzhang had already become the emperor at that time, and it would be easy to get into trouble if his adopted son followed his own surname.

Muying has never complained about her adoptive parents, but always remembers her kindness. She is very loyal to the Zhu family. Once she learned about the death of her adoptive mother, Queen Ma, she was so sad that she coughed up blood and almost went with her.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to let Zhu Chu go to this adopted son, and also let Xiping Hou Muying guard Zhu Chu.

Regardless of whether Zhu Yu understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention or not, as soon as he heard that he could run outside and become a free king, he was immediately grateful and almost exposed his true nature on the spot.

At the same time, a mysterious voice suddenly came from Zhu Xi's mind: "Congratulations to the host for activating the dynasty system and creating your own dynasty hegemony."
