Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1435: Princess Anqing
"Well, let's serve the meal." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Meng Ziyun bowed and then directed the palace maids to serve the meal.

When Jiang Chen saw the dishes, his appetite was aroused.

Jiang Chen had no idea how many times he had enjoyed the delicacies in the palace.

However, this is a different feeling as he is enjoying the delicacy that should have belonged to the emperor in the name of the Crown Prince.

"Yes, Meng Ziyun, did you do this?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes." Meng Ziyun replied.

"Hmm." Jiang Chen picked it up and started eating.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Chen finished his lunch: "From now on, when I eat, the amount will be tripled."

Jiang Chen is a warrior and has a big appetite. Today's lunch consists of 24 dishes, including fresh shrimps with pepper and vinegar, roast goose, steamed chicken with five flavors, etc., accompanied by a variety of staple foods and soups.

"Three times?" Meng Ziyun was surprised.

"Yes, I am a warrior and I consume a lot of food." Jiang Chen said.

"I understand." Meng Ziyun had heard of warriors, but didn't know much about them.

In the afternoon, Jiang Chen came to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom.

"His Majesty."

Jiang Chen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who had woken up and bowed.

"You..." Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "I want you to let the Qin Wang lineage go."

"Your Majesty, that's not right. He colluded with the magician Pang Ban and assassinated the emperor. His entire clan will be exterminated. I killed the Qin Wang lineage because he is a royal relative. Well, now the Qin Wang's six sons and two daughters will all be skinned and stuffed with straw." Jiang Chen would naturally not do that, but he wanted to say it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. He wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to regret it and die early.

"You...Puff..." Zhu Yuanzhang spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty, this skinning and strawing method was invented by you. I think you will be satisfied with it." Jiang Chen said quietly.

"Zhu Yunhuan, don't you care about family affection?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

"Family ties? The Qin King's lineage and me... just like your Majesty and Zhu Wen Zheng back then. Did Zhu Wen Zheng really have ulterior motives back then?" In Jiang Chen's opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to get rid of Zhu Wen Zheng just because he was too powerful.

After all, Zhu Wenzheng was younger than Zhu Yuanzhang and had more power. In addition, Zhu Biao was too young. If something happened to Zhu Yuanzhang, it would not be impossible for Zhu Wenzheng to take the throne. The incident between Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Kuangyin was a lesson for us.

In the novels of the past life that were set in the Ming Dynasty, it was described how friendly and respectful Zhu Yuanzhang’s sons were to each other.

This is clearly a joke.

We are both sons of the emperor, so why can you become the emperor while I can only be a vassal king?
I believe most of the emperor’s sons think so.

"You..." Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed.

"Your Majesty, Pang Ban appeared in the imperial study at the beginning. I did this for you." Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

"You..." Zhu Yuanzhang spit out a mouthful of blood with a puff.

"Someone, come here, His Majesty is vomiting blood again, call the imperial physician." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes."

Wu Qiao's voice was heard outside the door.

Now Wu Qiao is the person in charge of Zhu Yuanzhang's affairs.

Jiang Chen didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to die so soon, but he would definitely not let him have an easy time.

Jiang Chen turned and left only after the imperial physician diagnosed Zhu Yuanzhang and left.

Even after two days, the palace was still filled with the smell of blood.

This shows how great the massacre in the palace was.

However, the palace is very large, and the killing outside the palace is also quite large.

More than 10,000 people, including those from the martial arts world and civil and military officials of Yingtian Prefecture, were implicated in this incident.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 20,000 people died in this incident on Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday.

Therefore, Jiang Chen has completely taken control of the Ming Dynasty.

"Ok?"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to go to the imperial study, he heard footsteps coming from the front.

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked up.

Soon, a group of people appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and received 100 medium-grade spirit stones. ]

"One hundred middle-grade spirit stones?"

"I got 10 mid-grade spirit stones for signing in 20 times in a row before, but I didn't expect that I can get 100 mid-grade spirit stones now."

"Okay, although there are quite a few mid-grade spirit stones now, it is not difficult to get mid-grade spirit stones by trading in the Tiannan Continent of the Fourth World, but the more the better."

“It would be nice to check in a few more times.”

"After refining a low-grade spirit stone, strength increases by 15 points, physique increases by 5 points, and agility increases by 130 points. After refining a medium-grade spirit stone, strength increases by 180 points, physique increases by 60 points, and agility increases by points."

"However, it takes 1000 attribute points to go from the Martial King Realm to the Martial Emperor Realm. Even if you use medium-grade spirit stones, you need several of them. Moreover, when refining low-grade spirit stones, ordinary refining takes ten days, and refining with the Beiming Divine Art takes four days. Without the family's cultivation speed bonus, and not counting other aspects such as the technique, a warrior at the Martial King Realm needs at least two months to refine a medium-grade spirit stone... Of course, if you add the superposition of cultivation speed, the refining will be even faster."

“But even so, considering my (Jiang Chen) Martial Emperor Realm status, it would take at least half a month to refine a medium-grade spirit stone.”

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Princess Anqing, a character in "The Great Case of Hongwu".

Princess Anqing in the play has not been able to find her ideal partner and has not married yet, which is also a concern of Zhu Yuanzhang. Finally, Princess Anqing took a fancy to the newly crowned champion Ouyang Lun and recruited him as her husband. Soon, Ouyang Lun discovered that Princess Anqing suffered from a strange disease - baldness. However, under the pressure of the royal family, she had to accept the reality. Princess Anqing knew that she was ashamed of her husband, so she interceded for Ouyang Lun in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and asked for a job. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Lun took the opportunity to smuggle tea and violated the criminal law, and was eventually convicted. Princess Anqing appealed to Zhu Yuanzhang but failed, and died in front of the Dragon Book Case.

“Princess Anqing in The Great Case of Hongwu.”

"It seems that Princess Anqing in the drama also died in the 30th year of Hongwu."

"It is now the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu."

"Princess Anqing is still fine."

In the play, Princess Anqing was born to Empress Ma. She grew up in the palace and had a good temperament. She was also very opinionated. When it came to marriage, unlike other princesses who married the descendants of meritorious officials, she insisted on choosing her own husband and finally fell in love with the newly-appointed Jinshi Ouyang Lun.

In the 14th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang loved his daughter and gave her a super luxurious wedding. At the beginning, the couple lived a sweet life. But who would have thought that Ouyang Lun looked like a decent person, but in fact he was full of bad intentions. In the 30th year of Hongwu, he was ordered to go on a business trip to Sichuan and Shaanxi. Not only did he not thank the emperor for his grace, he also secretly violated the ban and sent people to smuggle tea to make money. Because he was the son-in-law of the emperor, local officials did not dare to intervene.

What was even more infuriating was that his servant Zhou Bao was even more arrogant than him, bullying people everywhere and forcing carriages and horses and laborers to help with smuggling. Once, Zhou Bao beat up a minor official from the Heqiao Division of Lantian County because his demands were not met. Although the minor official had a low position, he was also very courageous and reported them directly to the court. When Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he was so angry that he ordered Ouyang Lun and his men to be killed.

When Princess Anqing saw that her husband was going to die, she quickly ran to Zhu Yuanzhang to surrender, saying that it was all her idea and had nothing to do with the husband. She did this because she really loved her husband and because she thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be soft-hearted since she was his biological daughter. But she was wrong. Zhu Yuanzhang hated corruption the most and showed no mercy. At that time, Empress Ma had passed away and no one pleaded for her. In the end, Princess Anqing was beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that Princess Anqing was wrongly accused, and that it was all Ouyang Lun and the evil slaves who did the evil. It was too late for him to regret, so he could only kill Ouyang Lun and Zhou Bao to vent his anger. The next year, Zhu Yuanzhang also passed away. If this happened a year later, Princess Anqing might have escaped.

"When Zhu Yuanzhang celebrated his birthday, he did not allow the female relatives to attend the birthday banquet in order to form an alliance. Even the third generation of the Zhu family did not attend except himself. That's why Princess Anqing was safe and sound."

"1368 is the first year of the Hongwu reign."

"This year is the day Princess Huaiqing was born."

"And Princess Anqing is older than Princess Huaiqing."

"According to Zhu Yunhuan's memory, Princess Anqing is only about 28 years old now."

Relevant information flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind.

I have to say that Princess Anqing is a very good actress.

"Greetings, Aunt Anqing." Jiang Chen bowed when he saw Princess Anqing approaching.

"Crown Grandson." Princess Anqing also bowed.

Zhu Yunhuan (Jiang Chen) was the crown prince, and although Princess Anqing was a princess, she had to pay her respects.

"Aunt Anqing is here to see the Emperor?" Jiang Chen asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sons were ambitious, but Zhu Yuanzhang himself favored boys over girls, so his daughters were the least visible.

Historically, princesses in the Ming Dynasty were the cheapest. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, one could marry a princess simply by bribing a eunuch.

Therefore, Jiang Chen would not do anything to these princesses as long as they did not cause any trouble. However, this Princess Anqing was different, as was her husband Ouyang Lun. If Ouyang Lun really committed a crime, he would definitely not show mercy.

"Yes." Princess Anqing replied.

"The emperor has just fallen asleep. You just go and check on him, but don't wake him up." Jiang Chen said.

"Is father okay?" Princess Anqing asked.

"This time, the evil master Pang Ban sneaked into the imperial palace, and the emperor was extremely angry and heartbroken." Jiang Chen did not say much. After all, the real situation had been covered up.

"Grandson, is the King of Qin real?" Princess Anqing asked after a moment's hesitation. "Yes, the King of Qin committed suicide, and I have sent the people from the King of Qin's mansion to the border. Aunt Anqing, you can go and see him off. After all, it is not appropriate for me to show up." Jiang Chen told Zhu Yuanzhang that the skinning and strawing was fake, and that he could win the hearts of the remaining royal family by doing so. After all, in the Ming Continent, Jiang Chen did not want to reveal his vest.

"Really?" asked Princess Anqing.

"Just don't make a big fuss about it." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Princess Anqing was very excited.

"Aunt Anqing, you go to the Emperor first. However, don't say too much about the Qin Palace. The Emperor..." She didn't say the rest, but the meaning was very clear.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a cruel and ruthless person.

People in the royal family know this even more.

"Okay." Princess Anqing nodded.

After a while, Princess Anqing left.

After Princess Anqing left, Jiang Chen continued walking forward.

He had been to the Ming Dynasty's imperial palace many times, but was not very familiar with it.

Today is a good time to get familiar with it.

……

Ming Dynasty Continent, Eastern Palace.

"I have met His Highness."

Xu Miaoyun bowed to Jiang Chen when she saw him.

"Aunt, it's time for your two younger sisters to enter the Eastern Palace." Jiang Chen said straight to the point.

"Yes." Xu Miaoyun's body shuddered.

Xu Miaoyun had already learned about what happened on Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday through her own channels.

Although she didn't understand what happened specifically, she knew that it must be related to Jiang Chen. However, the struggle for imperial power was fierce, and there were already strange waves behind it.

"Aunt, are you unwilling? Or are you afraid that our relationship will be discovered by them?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun remained silent.

"Isn't this already destined?" Jiang Chen said.

"Your Highness, I think..."

"I don't think so..." Jiang Chen interrupted Xu Miaoyun: "This is destined, you are not qualified to change it."

"I am your aunt." Xu Miaoyun mentioned her identity again.

"so what?"

Jiang Chen returned to his original appearance: "I am not Zhu Yunhuan either."

"What, you, you, you..." Xu Miaoyun stood up in shock and looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

"Do you want to tell anyone?"

Jiang Chen looked at Xu Miaoyun and said, "Now that Yingtian Prefecture's 300,000 troops are under my control, it would be easy for me to change the dynasty. Do you dare to gamble with the people of the Duke of Wei's Mansion?"

Xu Miaoyun's body shook and she fell to the ground.

"It seems you don't dare either." Jiang Chen smiled.

"Why are you doing this? Where is Zhu Yunhuan?" Xu Miaoyun asked.

"Of course he was killed by Zhu Yunwen's men." Jiang Chen said.

"What?" Xu Miaoyun was slightly stunned.

"There is no need for me to lie to you about this. I originally wanted to use Zhu Yunhuan's identity to gain benefits in the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately, I saw an opportunity to change the dynasty." Jiang Chen said.

"..."Xu Miaoyun.

"The Zhu family is the Zhu family, and the Xu family is the Xu family. I tell you today so that you don't have to worry about anything." Jiang Chen said.

"Are you planning to keep using Zhu Yunhuan's identity?" Xu Miaoyun asked.

"It's not a bad idea to use this identity externally." Jiang Chen said.

"Why?" Xu Miaoyun didn't understand.

Jiang Chen shouldn't do this when his family is the ruler of the country.

Who would allow themselves to use someone else's last name?

"Do you want to know?" Jiang Chen asked.

Xu Miaoyun did not answer.

Jiang Chen disguised himself as Zhu Yunhuan and left the room with Xu Miaoyun.

They arrived at a deserted place and soared into the sky while hugging Xu Miaoyun.

"what……"

It was not until they reached high altitude that Xu Miaoyun screamed.

"Are you so scared?" Jiang Chen asked.

"You, how could you..." Xu Miaoyun was shocked as he looked at Yingtianfu below.

"This is my strength." Jiang Chen said.

"Your strength..." Xu Miaoyun looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

Is this Jiang Chen’s strength?
"My name is Jiang Chen. Our Jiang family is not an ordinary family. We are now developing family businesses all over the world." Jiang Chen said: "This Ming Dynasty will also be one of the industries developed by our Jiang family. Zhu Yunhuan will be one of my vests."

"What happens next?" Xu Miaoyun asked.

"We'll talk about it later. At worst, we can leave a son to inherit the property." Jiang Chen said calmly.

"Will you let your son have the surname Zhu?" Xu Miaoyun asked.

"Why not? Just call yourself Zhu to outsiders and Jiang inside. The worst that can happen is a change of dynasty." This kind of problem exists in many continents, but for Jiang Chen, there are too many ways to solve it.

"..." Xu Miaoyun didn't understand what Jiang Chen meant, but she didn't know what Jiang Chen was thinking, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"I'll take you to see the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty." Jiang Chen took Xu Miaoyun on a sword flight, chatting as they flew.

It was not until half an hour later that Jiang Chen brought Xu Miaoyun back to the East Palace.

"How is it? Are things acceptable now?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"..."Xu Miaoyun.

"From now on in the Ming Dynasty, you will be my aunt, and in the Jiang family, you will be mine." Jiang Chen said.

"You and I……"

"Xu Miaoyun, you have no choice, not only for yourself, but also for your Xu family." Jiang Chen continued.

Xu Miaoyun knew that Jiang Chen was threatening her, but she could do nothing about it.

Because there is no way she would give up her family.

Moreover, as Jiang Chen said, Yingtian Prefecture is now under Jiang Chen's control. Even if Jiang Chen's identity is exposed, it will only result in a little more killing.

She didn't believe that no one in the Ming court knew Jiang Chen's true identity.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement." Jiang Chen felt that the reason why Xu Miaoyun in the play could choose between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di was because the Xu family was betting on both sides. No matter who took over the world, the Xu family would be invincible.

But now the Xu family has no extra choice.

"I, I want to go back." Xu Miaoyun did not answer Jiang Chen's words.

"Okay, go back and think about it." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "By the way, don't even think about committing suicide. Otherwise, I can guarantee that the consequences will be beyond your imagination."

Xu Miaoyun was shocked: "I can't."

"I'm glad to know." In the drama, Xu Miaoyun committed suicide, so Jiang Chen was really worried that Xu Miaoyun would be unable to get over it.

After Xu Miaoyun left, Jiang Chen came to a courtyard in Yingtian Prefecture.

"Yaoyue, Lianxing, you are here." Jiang Chen looked at Yaoyue and Lianxing with a smile.

After such a long time, Yaoyue and Lianxing finally came to Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Jiang." Although Yao Yue had a lot on her mind, she still bowed obediently.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." Compared to Yaoyue, Lianxing is more respectful.

"From today on, when you are in the Ming Continent, you will be the Grand Palace Master and the Second Palace Master of Yihua Palace to the outside world, but in our Jiang family, you are my personal maid. And when you are in other continents, you will be my personal maid." Jiang Chen said.

"Other continents? What does that mean?" Lian Xing asked.

Jiang Chen said upon hearing this: "This world is huge, and the Ming Dynasty is just one of them. You will know the details in a while. As for now... you will follow me to a place..."
