Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

"Then do it again!"

"If you really lose..."

"If we still lose, we have nothing to say."

Li Chuan spoke.

"it is good!"

Both sides come again!
Li Chuan and Luo Fei looked at each other, because Zhu Yunhuan's speed last time was extremely fast.

Proving that they were still very powerful, the two decided to strike first and launch the attack.

He raised his fist and punched Zhu Yunhuan!

Zhu Yunhuan looked at the two people attacking him without any panic. He just flashed away.

He disappeared on the spot and appeared behind Luo Fei and the other man the next second.

"Millennium Killing!"

"what……"

“Ouch…”

The two men turned around with their butts sticking up, wanting to punch Zhu Yunhuan.

"No chicken bullet!"

"Oh my god..."

"..."

There were two more shrill screams.

Zhu Yunhuan leaped up and kicked Luo Fei and the other man in the chest with his legs, and they immediately flew backwards.

Hit the ground hard!

He covered his crotch, buttocks and chest.

It hurt so much that both of them cried!

"Brother, I won again!"

Zhu Yunxun jumped and skipped to Zhu Xiongying.

As if he is taking credit!
"Yeah! Not bad, not bad!"

Zhu Xiongying was very satisfied!
"How about it?"

"Are you convinced now?"

"Your Highness, this...isn't this the same thing as before?"

"Yes!"

The two were obviously still unconvinced.

"Let me tell you, if that was a life-and-death battle."

"You don't know how many times you've died."

"Didn't you notice that Yunxun is much faster than you?"

"If he were your enemy, you would be dead in an instant."

"Also, you have to remember one thing, as long as you can win, no matter what means you use, as long as it can win, it is a good means."

"If you fight on the battlefield, the enemy will not talk to you about morality."

"Being able to survive is the best path, understand?"

The two nodded: "Understood!"

"Yuan Tiangang!"

"exist!"

Yuan Tiangang immediately appeared beside Zhu Xiongying.

"Take them down and train them well!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Tiangang took the two away.

Zhu Xiongying didn't know that because of what he said today, there were two more unscrupulous people in the world.

Commonly known as Lao Liu!

………………

"Brother! Where are we going to play?"

"Not urgent!"

"I'll take you there tomorrow. I have something else to do now!"

"it is good!"

"Then it's settled!"

After saying that, he turned around and skipped away.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yunhuan's innocent appearance and smiled.

Turn around and leave the East Palace!

....................................

Zhaoyu!

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

When Mao Xiang saw Zhu Xiongying coming, he hurried to greet him.

"Where is Chen Jing imprisoned?"

"Your Highness, please follow me!"

Mao Xiang took Zhu Xiongying through many twists and turns before they arrived at the cell where Chen Jing was imprisoned.

"How's the interrogation going?"

"Your Highness, it's almost done!"

"He did collude with Shao Jinpeng and embezzled a lot of money."

"And his followers?"

Mao Xiang immediately handed over the list.

"He confessed this."

Zhu Xiongying took a look and said, "Okay! Give it to Grandpa Huang!"

"Open the door, and everyone get out!"

"Don't let anyone get close!"

"Yes!"

Mao Xiang immediately ordered someone to open the prison door and then retreated.

"Why? Are you here to see me off?"

When Chen Jing saw Zhu Xiongying come in, he did not salute, but sat on the ground and looked at Zhu Xiongying with sidelong eyes.

He knew that the crime he had committed must be the Nine Clans Elimination Chamber.

So naturally he didn't have a good face towards Zhu Xiongying.

"I'm not here to send you off. I'm here to get some information from you first."

"Prying for information?"

"You're trying to get information from a death row inmate?"

"Hahaha……"

"Aren't the people under you, Zhu Xiongying, very powerful?"

"Why don't you just ask them to check it out?"

"Why are you still asking me?"

"What a waste!"

Chen Jing said disdainfully.

"The people under my command can indeed find out, but I still want you to say it out loud."

"Is there someone behind you?"

Hearing this, a hint of surprise clearly flashed in Chen Jing's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Why do you say that, Your Highness?"

"There is no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty now. The six ministries report directly to the emperor. As the Minister of Personnel, who can still command me?"

"Don't you think it's stupid to ask that?"

Zhu Xiongying didn't care at all in the face of Chen Jing's ridicule.

"Chen Jing, if you just tell me, I can spare your entire clan."

"Your family can all survive. Not only that, it won't affect your son's future as an official."

"how?"

"Hahaha……"

"I have to say, your conditions are indeed very tempting to me."

"But you are not the emperor yet, you are just a grandson of the emperor. Above you are the crown prince and His Majesty!"

"These matters are not your turn to make the decision. What gives you the right to speak so arrogantly here?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "You are right!"

"I do have my father, the king, and my grandfather, the emperor, above me."

"But you overlooked one person, that is my grandmother."

"My grandmother is kind and generous, and loves me so much!"

"As long as I ask my grandmother, she will definitely agree."

"My grandmother agreed. Do you think my grandfather would disagree?"

"Will my father have any objections?"

Hearing these words, Chen Jing hesitated.

As the Minister of Personnel, he naturally knew what Empress Ma meant to the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Empress Ma wanted to keep someone, there was nothing she couldn't keep.

The weight of Empress Ma in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is unparalleled.

Moreover, his status and prestige in the hearts of officials were even higher than that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

There is a saying circulating on the Internet in the 21st century that Empress Ma did not need a military token to mobilize troops.

Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, it can be seen from the side how powerful Empress Ma was in the Ming Dynasty.

"how?"

"Is the amount enough for the Empress?"

"You may not believe me, but you have to believe me, right, Grandma?"

"I……"

There was nothing wrong with what he said, and Chen Jing really couldn't think of anything to say to refute Zhu Xiongying.

"Think about it?"

Chen Jing lowered his head and thought!
Keep weighing the pros and cons in your mind!

"Will you really ask the Queen for mercy on my behalf?"

"As long as you say so, I will definitely go!"

"It all depends on whether you cooperate or not. You will definitely make money."

"I can have my people check these things, but it will take some time."

"I just don't want to wait now."

"Of course, you don't have to say it."

"It's up to you to choose. I'll only give you a cup of tea to think about it."

Zhu Xiongying said lightly.

Chen Jing lowered his head and thought!
After a while!
“Yes… yes… it’s King Jin!”

"what?"

Zhu Xiongying couldn't believe his ears.

"It's King Jin!"

Hearing Chen Jing say it again, Zhu Xiongying froze in place.

He thought of many people, even those nobles from Huaixi, but he didn't expect it to be Zhu Gang.

"Are you sure you're not talking nonsense?" "Do you think I would joke about my nine clans?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying felt completely disappointed.

"you you……"

"When did you hook up with him?"

"In the 15th year of Hongwu, he also helped me to become the Minister of Personnel."

Zhu Xiongying frowned. He was far away at the border, yet he was able to collude with the officials of Yingtian.

It’s really amazing!

Chen Jing has been in the position of Minister of Personnel for so many years, and many officials have been promoted by him.

Aren’t there many officials in the Ming Dynasty who are in collusion with his third uncle?
"Who else but you?"

"there is none left!"

Chen Jing shook his head.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Chen Jing. With Zhu Gang's personality, it was impossible for him to support only one person.

There is only one possibility, they may not know each other's existence.

If that were the case, that would be terrible.

What does my third uncle want to do?
Control the government?

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang dies, will Zhu Biao be pulled down?
Zhu Biao was very nice to him!

Actually...

Hehehe...

My third uncle is indeed as cruel and wise as recorded in history books.

"I will check this matter. You'd better tell the truth. If you are talking nonsense."

"I will make you and your nine clans regret coming into this world."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"and many more!"

Zhu Xiongying looked back at him.

"I have a question!"

"Say!"

"How did you know there was someone behind me?"

Chen Jing looked at Zhu Xiongying in confusion.

"I don't think I need to tell you this, right?"

Having said that, he walked out.

Chen Jing's voice came from behind.

"Don't forget your promise!"

..................................................................

East Palace!

Zhu Xiongying returned to his room, his face looking very gloomy.

"Yuan Tiangang!"

With a flash of his figure, Yuan Tiangang appeared in the room.

"Your Highness!"

"Go check how many people in the court are Third Uncle's spies, and send someone to Prince Jin's Mansion."

"Keep an eye on me!"

"Even how many clothes he wore, what color they were, what time he got up, and what time he went to bed, I checked them all clearly."

"Yes!"

The figure flashed and disappeared on the spot!
"Third uncle, ah, Third uncle!"

"Are you really going to follow in your fourth uncle's footsteps?"

There was a sharp light flashing in Zhu Xiongying's eyes.

................................................

next day!

on the street!
Zhu Xiongying took Zhu Yunhuan out of the palace. Zhu Yunhuan, who had not been out of the palace for a long time, was very happy.

"Your Highness?"

"You left the palace?"

"Jiang Yu!"

"You are there too!"

Zhu Xiongying looked back and found that it was Jiang Li.

"Greetings, Your Highnesses!"

"We are outside the palace, no need for these empty formalities!"

"I happen to be free today, come with me to have a couple of drinks!"

"Your Highness, I have official business to attend to and cannot drink."

"It's okay. If you have any questions, let Erhu come to me. I just happen to have something to talk to you about."

....................................

In a restaurant!

Private room!

"Come on! Jiang Li!"

Zhu Xiongying picked up the wine glass and the two of them clinked glasses.

Drink it all in one gulp!

Zhu Yunxun next to him was holding a row of AD calcium milk!

"Jiang Li, you should be familiar with the officials in the court, right?"

After all, he was the second-in-command of the Jinyiwei, and Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of establishing the Jinyiwei was to monitor all officials.

"Uh……"

"This one……"

"Why? You can't even tell me?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. The Jinyiwei has a rule that no information can be disclosed to anyone without the permission of His Majesty."

“You’re pretty strict!”

"Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Jiang Li quickly bowed.

"It doesn't matter!"

"I just wanted to ask, it's okay if I can't tell you."

"Your Highness, Jiang Li has official business to attend to, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

"Okay! Go!"

Jiang Li bowed and turned to leave.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Jiang Li's departing figure and murmured to himself, "It seems that I have to investigate it myself!"

"Yuan Tiangang!"

"exist!"

"Get rid of all the bad people in Yingtian and investigate all the officials at all levels in the court."

"Look who is related to Uncle San."

"Remember, don't let the Royal Guards find out!"

"Yes!"

After saying this, Yuan Tiangang disappeared from the spot.

"Brother, why are you investigating Uncle San?"

Zhu Yunxun on the side looked at Zhu Xiongying innocently.

"Yunxun, big brother is clearing all obstacles for you."

"for me?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Yunhuan's mind was full of doubts and he had no idea what Zhu Xiongying meant.

................................................

at the same time!

On the grassland!
After repeated and brutal competition, two major tribes emerged on the grassland.

One is Aluta and the other is Wuliangha!

The grassland has achieved a two-legged tripod situation!
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, and frictions often occur between the two tribes!

The dispute was fierce!

The losses are equally huge!
Winter was approaching, and they had suffered heavy losses from frequent fighting.

The remaining food in the tribe was not enough to survive the winter.

They all understood each other tacitly and did not argue any more, and prepared to go south to hunt in the valley.

If they didn't go south, they estimated that many people would not survive the winter.

Under the city of Datong!

At this time, people were working and busy as usual.

This time!

The ground began to tremble slightly!
Everyone stopped what they were doing unconsciously!

After a while, I saw a dark mass not far away.

Someone reacted immediately!
"Run!"

"The Tatars are coming!"

"Run!"

When the people heard this, they immediately became chaotic.

But how can they, with two legs, outrun four legs?

Soon, the enemy cavalry arrived in front of them, plundering and slaughtering them!

Screams kept coming!
Kill the old ones!
Strong men were captured and made into slaves, while young women were captured and made into maids, or even tools for venting one’s anger.

This is destined to be a tragedy!
Grain-collecting was a specialty of ancient nomadic peoples.

..........................................

Liaodong!

The Arutai tribe even dispatched 20,000 cavalrymen to carry out a large-scale looting of Liaodong.

The news spread to Yingtian!

"Your Majesty, the grasslands have been plundering Liaodong on a large scale, and the people of Liaodong have suffered."

Upon hearing the news from the Ministry of War, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned gloomy.

"What do those troops stationed in Liaodong eat?"

"Your Majesty, they attacked by surprise, which is why they caused such great losses."

"This is the case when they react. Otherwise, it will be more serious."

"Datong was also attacked, and more than 10,000 men were abducted."

Bang...

The teacup shattered.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

The officials were so frightened that they knelt down one after another.

"Killing our people, do you really think that the Ming Dynasty is made of mud?"

"Send Feng Sheng, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu and others to the palace."
