Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 186 Liu Lu
"The old minister retire."

The exam questions of the imperial examination were set, and there was nothing extra to discuss with Zhu Houzhao, so Liang Chu bowed and left immediately.

Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, was busy with affairs, and he, the secretary of the official department, was even busier. He not only had to preside over scientific examination matters, but also was distracted from handling various affairs of the official department.

"Send Liang Aiqing out of the palace!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said calmly.

When Liang Chu left the Leopard Room, something happened to Liu Jin again.

"My lord, is there something I would like to ask you, servant?"

Looking eagerly at Zhu Houzhao, his eyes were full of longing. This was the first time Liu Jin had shown such an appearance since following Zhu Houzhao.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, you should know that I don't like to play tricks."

"This servant recently adopted a adopted son, and this servant dared to ask His Majesty to give him a name."

Liu Jin said in a little embarrassment that it was an old tradition in the palace for eunuchs to accept godsons.

But the adoptive son he adopted was not a little eunuch in the palace, but an orphan he picked up outside, and he used his crippled body as a foster father. It's no wonder that with his thick skin, there would be such a little bit of embarrassment .

"Yoshiko?"

Zhu Houzhao's face is weird. Liu Jin really knows how to play, but Liu Jin has been with him for so many years and has helped him with many shady things. There is no credit but hard work. Since I asked him, I still have to give him face .

"Bring someone here so I can see."

"The slave is going here."

Liu Jin was overjoyed, and hurried to find his newly adopted son.

Soon, Liu Jin brought a five-year-old child back to Zhu Houzhao.

I don't know where Liu Jin picked up this child. He is yellow and emaciated, skinny, and severely malnourished.

"Where did you find this child?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Five-year-old children end up on the streets, either because of family breakdown or because of human traffickers.

The former is fine. There are a lot of tragedies in the world every day. The collapse of a family leads to orphans and beggars.

If it's the latter, then it has to be dealt with seriously. Human traffickers, those bastards with no conscience, are always the most damned.

"When my servant was wandering around the capital a few days ago, I accidentally ran into this kid. At that time, he was being chased by the store for stealing a steamed bun. The servant was soft-hearted and brought him back."

Liu Jin has followed Zhu Houzhao for many years, so she naturally knew what Zhu Houzhao was thinking, and hurriedly explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly.

"My servant sent someone to check. This kid is the son of a merchant in the south of the city. His father passed away due to illness not long ago, and his uncle took over the family property. This kid has been reduced to the street. His background is absolutely innocent."

"It's fine."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and asked, "Have you thought it all over?"

"Slaves are crippled, and they are satisfied with having a foster son."

Liu Jin smiled wryly.

He was already an eunuch, so how could he have so many demands, not to mention, from the first time he saw this child, he felt that he was destined for this child.

The word fate is incomparably wonderful, since he intends to adopt this child as his adopted son, he will not regret it.

"Son, would you like to worship him as foster father?"

Zhu Houxiong looked at the thin child and asked softly.

"willing."

The thin child hurriedly replied, looked at Liu Jin with burning eyes, and solemnly bowed to the ground: "Father-in-law, please accept my child's worship!"

Although he is young, he is precocious and understands right and wrong, good and evil. Although Liu Jin is an eunuch, he treats him very well. Following Liu Jin these days, he treats him well with good food and drink, so he has no reason to refuse. Worship Liu Jin as foster father.

No matter what, it was better than him continuing to fall into the streets.

“good good”

Liu Jin was overjoyed, his old face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"You have been pursuing fame and fortune all your life, this child will be called Liu Lu from now on!"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and named the emaciated child Liu Lu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name."

Liu Jin patted the back of the child's head and shouted softly.

The child reacted immediately, imitating Liu Jin and kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving the name."

From then on, he became Liu Lu, Liu Jin's adopted son.

"Get up!"

Zhu Hou took care of Liu Lu's thin body, and said meaningfully: "I look forward to your growth, don't let me down."

He gave Liu Lu the name "Lu", not only because Liu Jin pursued fame and wealth, but also because he hoped that Liu Lu would succeed in his studies and become his "General Qianniulongwu".

Even if he is notorious, he will not change his loyalty!
Hongwu world
"Your Majesty, I have already found out that the crown prince's side concubine has indeed committed misconduct,"

Mao Xiang lowered his head and raised his heart to his throat, for fear that if Lao Zhu became unhappy, his head would fall to the ground.

"Tell me, what kind of misdeeds does she have?"

Lao Zhu's tone was flat, but it contained an extremely deep chill, which made Mao Xiang even more frightened.

After learning that Zhu Xiongying would die early, Lao Zhu ordered Jin Yiwei to strictly investigate all suspicious persons. Today, he finally found out some clues.

"According to the investigation of the subordinates"

Mao Xiang frightened and told Lao Zhu all the information he had found.

In her heart, she couldn't help but lament that the Lu family was so bold that she secretly poisoned the emperor's eldest grandson with chronic poison.

If the eldest grandson of the emperor had any troubles, he would be able to pierce the sky. How could she have such courage as a little prince and side concubine.

"Damn."

After listening to Mao Xiang's report, Lao Zhu was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. His suspicion was indeed correct, and the culprit of Zhu Xiongying's early death was Mrs. Lu.

Dare to poison his precious grandson, Lu family is looking for death.

At this moment, old Zhu Mie Lu's family has his heart full.

"Send people to arrest and imprison all Lu's accomplices, who dare to poison our eldest grandson, this poisonous woman will not be allowed to stay."

Lao Zhu exuded a strong murderous aura, and wished to cut Lu Shi into pieces immediately, but Lu Shi was Zhu Biao's side concubine after all, so he had to discuss with Zhu Biao about how to deal with it.

Zhu Biao is now also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is no longer his obedient son. Many things must be handled properly so that Zhu Biao cannot lose face.

"Yes."

When Mao Xiang left, Lao Zhu couldn't help but sighed again. He knew exactly what Lu's intentions were for Zhu Xiongying's chronic poison.

The royal family has no family!

For that dragon chair to poison his eldest grandson, the Lu family is playing with fire and setting himself on fire. This time, he will start a massacre. The Lu family will die, the Lu family will be destroyed, and the literati group will also be severely suppressed.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Lu to have such vicious thoughts. Xiongying is only a child, so she can do it."

Empress Ma came out from behind the screen, trembling with anger, she never dreamed that Lu, who was usually gentle and docile, would be so vicious that he would not spare even a single child.
