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

Chapter 367 Officials see them off!

"You little brat, our Ming Dynasty is the Celestial Empire. Is there any country in the world that can compare to our Ming Dynasty?"

"Old Zhu, it is undeniable that the Ming Dynasty is indeed very powerful now, and there are few rivals in the world."

“But if we continue like this, closing ourselves off from the outside world and not communicating with the outside world, we will eventually be surpassed and fall behind.”

"Don't underestimate the heroes of the world. If someone invades our land in a few hundred years."

"We will be sinners for all eternity if we slaughter our people and trample our land and rivers."

"Have you forgotten the Sima family?"

"They caused the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, and now their family is still nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

"Do you also want our Zhu family to become the second Sima family?"

After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought for a moment.

"You're right, little bastard!"

"When we rebelled, we wanted the people of the world to live a good life. What if a hundred years later, our Zhu family became the culprit that harmed the people?"

"Even if we die, we will not close our eyes."

"We agree with what you said. We have to destroy the Japanese pirates. Then we will give the order to open the gate."

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "I am going to Fujian, you must be prepared."

“Maybe another group of people will die.”

"Just go ahead and do it. We'll take care of anything that happens. Those people should have died long ago."

"it is good!"

"Your words are enough!"

"gone!"

Having said that, Zhu Xiongying patted his butt and left.

"Hey! Little bastard, your grandmother is looking for you, go and explain yourself!"

"understood!"

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

Kunning Palace!
Queen Ma was embroidering when a head popped out from outside the door.

"hey-hey……"

"Grandma Huang!"

"Xiong Ying is here!"

"Come in, why are you sneaking around?"

Zhu Xiongying walked in with a smile, and Queen Ma looked behind her.

“Where’s Yunhyun?”

"Uh……"

"Grandma, Yunxun is still in Liaodong!"

"How could you take him there, kid?"

"Don't you know that the battlefield is dangerous?"

"If something goes wrong, how am I going to explain this to your mother?"

"How do I explain this to your grandpa?"

Queen Ma frowned slightly.

"Grandma, Yunxun has grown up, let him do something for the court!"

"How can I not understand this truth?"

"But he's still young!"

"Grandma, my father went to the battlefield when he was sixteen, although Yunxun is still a few years younger than him now."

"But the ability is enough, and with my uncle and two uncles here, nothing will happen."

"We can't let him stay in the East Palace forever and do nothing, right?"

"Didn't I also fight on the battlefield when I was his age?"

"Do not worry!"

Zhu Xiongying patted Queen Ma's hand and took out something.

"Grandma, look..."

"what is this?"

"Lipstick!"

"Lipstick?"

Queen Ma looked at the little thing in Zhu Xiongying's hand curiously.

"What is this for?"

"It is used to paint lips and can enhance the beauty of women."

"This is known as a woman's second life!"

Queen Ma laughed when she heard this: "Is it as exaggerated as you say?"

"You'll know later!"

"Grandma, I'm going to Fujian."

"Go!"

"As long as what you do is beneficial to the court and the people, go ahead and do it. The Empress will take care of you if anything happens."

"Thank you, Grandma Huang. I'll bring you a gift when I come back."

"Ha ha……"

"You little brat, you have some conscience."

"Go!"

"Take care, Grandma!"

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

next day!

Zhu Xiongying led the bad guys towards Fujian. The distance between the two places was not far.

Half a month later!

Arrived at destination!
The Governor's Office!
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is here to see you!"

The governor You Zimin brought all the officials to welcome Zhu Xiongying.

"Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Xiongying glanced around at them.

"Master You, the masters are in good spirits!"

"It seems that Fujian is quite peaceful, nothing major has happened!"

"Hehehe..."

"It is all thanks to your Majesty's great blessing that the people of Fujian live and work in peace and contentment, and no one picks up things on the road. Everything is thanks to your Majesty!"

You Zimin squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Ha ha……"

"Master You, you are too kind. Although we have the Emperor, we cannot do without the hard work of all the masters."

"Only Fujian can have such a prosperous and peaceful time!"

Hearing what Zhu Xiongying said, everyone smiled. It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really recognizes our work!

"Ha ha……"

"These are the responsibilities and obligations that we, as ministers, should fulfill."

"It is thanks to the concerted efforts of all my colleagues that we have achieved such a prosperous era. I dare not take credit for all the achievements that have come from others!"

You Zimin said this, but he was already very happy in his heart, because it seemed that he had a chance to become an official in Beijing.

Good days are coming!

"Master You, I heard that Japanese pirates often appear near us. Is this true?"

Hearing this, everyone's smiles froze.

"Uh……"

"Your Highness, there are some scattered Japanese pirates in the nearby waters, but they dare not approach the shore at all."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Once they reach the shore, I will destroy them."

"I promise not to let them harm the people of Fujian in the slightest."

You Zimin patted his chest and spoke righteously.

"it is good!"

"The Ming Dynasty needs officials like Lord You. Oh! There are not many good officials like Lord You who care about the people!"

"Your Highness is so complimentary!"

"This is what every official should do, and I believe others would do the same."

You Zimin's mouth was almost grinning to the back of his head at this moment. It seemed that he was definitely going to be promoted.

hey-hey……

At this moment, You Zimin seemed to have seen himself receiving praise from Zhu Yuanzhang in the Fengtian Hall.

It's a scene of rising step by step!

"Master You, do you know a village called Yisha Village?"

When You Zimin heard the word Yisha Village, his heart skipped a beat.

"Uh……"

"Your Highness, forgive my ignorance, but does this village belong to our Fujian Provincial Government?"

"There are so many villages here that I can't remember them all."

"it's okay no problem!"

"I understand. I can't remember so much either. This village belongs to your Fujian Provincial Secretary."

"what!"

"May I ask, Your Highness, what happened to this village?"

You Zimin looked at him in confusion.

He acted as if he knew nothing and pretended to be serious.

"Master You doesn't know?"

"Please explain clearly, Your Highness!"

Zhu Xiongying looked at the others: "You don't know either?"

Everyone looked at each other and finally shook their heads.

Damn it, the officials really protect each other.

"fine!"

"I don't know it's okay!"

"Let me tell you about it!"

"Yisha Village is a village on the coast of Fujian. It was massacred by Japanese pirates about three months ago."

"There are more than 300 people in the village, and no one survived!"

"what?"

“This, this… this…”

"Is what you said true, Your Highness?"

You Zimin looked extremely shocked and stared at Zhu Xiongying closely, and Zhu Xiongying also stared at him.

You Zimin was not afraid at all and met Zhu Xiongying's gaze. After a while!
"Of course! How could I possibly joke about something like this?"

"These damned Japanese pirates are really damned bastards."

You Zimin looked indignant, and when other officials saw him like this, they immediately reacted.

They kept cursing, almost insulting the Japanese pirates' ancestors for eighteen generations.

Zhu Xiongying was deeply moved as he watched their performances, each of which was worthy of being called an Oscar winner.

If these people were placed in the entertainment industry in their previous lives, they would all be national first-class actors.

Definitely best actor level acting!

"Your Highness, I will send people out to sea to find those Japanese pirates and make them pay the price."

"Revenge for the more than 300 people in Yisha Village."

Ping Xingxian, the commander of the Metropolitan Commandery, said angrily.

"Hey! No hurry!"

"There you go! Do you know where they are?"

"This……"

Ping Xingxian looked embarrassed.

"Your Highness, what should we do then?"

"We all listen to your highness!"

"Yes! We all listen to your highness!"

"What do you say, Your Highness?"

"..."

Everyone looked at Zhu Xiongying, each one filled with indignation. I wonder how righteous they thought they were!
This acting skill is unmatched!

"Ha ha……"

"Master You, can't you just say that Yisha Village was massacred? Why didn't anyone report it?"

Hearing this, You Zimin looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Yup!"

“Why didn’t anyone report it?”

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was blinded by anger. I will investigate thoroughly."

"It must be the provincial government officials who are not doing their job. I will send someone there right away."

"No need!"

"I'll go there myself!"

When they heard that Zhu Xiongying was going in person, they immediately became anxious. Damn, if you go there, do we still have a chance to survive?

"Your Highness, why would you need to intervene in such a trivial matter?"

"I will just send a few people."

"Yes, Your Highness! Send a few people to make sure everything is investigated thoroughly."

"The roads in Fujian are not easy to travel and are quite bumpy. Your Highness, with your valuable body, why would you condescend to go to such a small place?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"..."

Everyone was talking at the same time, and the entire governor's office suddenly became a vegetable market.

Zhu Xiongying raised his hand and pressed it: "Everyone, this is a serious matter. Cheers to hundreds of lives."

"I came here this time on the orders of Grandfather Emperor. I dare not be lazy."

"How about this! You guys come with me!"

"what?"

"Shall we go too?"

Everyone was a little stunned.

"Why? You gentlemen are unwilling to accompany me for a walk?"

"Ah! No no!"

"If Your Highness wants to go, then we are obliged to do so."

"But your highness is worth a fortune, and the roads in Fujian are rugged and difficult to travel."

There are many mosquitoes here. If Your Highness gets sick, I will be blamed even if I die!"

"I hope Your Highness will think twice!"

"Yes, Your Highness..."

"I hope Your Highness will think twice!"

"..."

Everyone continued to persuade them that they would be in danger if Zhu Xiongying left.

"OK OK!"

"I understand your concern, but I have also been on the battlefield."

"It's just a small matter, it doesn't matter!"

"My lords, go back and pack your bags. We will set off tomorrow. Don't be late."

"That `s a deal!"

Before Feng and the others could say anything, Zhu Xiongying took his men away.

Leaving behind the anxious crowd!

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"If he goes, I'm afraid we will all be in danger!"

"Yes, sir!"

"..."

All the officials were talking incessantly about the wandering people, which was a capital crime punishable by death.

They don't want to die!

"Everyone be quiet!"

You Zimin shouted loudly, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"For now, we can only sacrifice the car to save the king!"

"Immediately send someone to Xinghua Prefecture and tell Liang Zishi to take responsibility for everything."

"We will take care of his family members. If they disagree, we will kill them on the spot."

"We have to hurry and get it done before we arrive. Let's go now."

"quick!"

"Good good..."

An official immediately went down to make arrangements!
"I hope everything will be in time."

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

next day!

Zhu Xiongying led a group of officials and headed towards Xinghua Prefecture.

The officials on the road tried every possible means to delay time, either because they had stomachaches or because they were deliberately injured.

But they were all resolved one by one by Zhu Xiongying!

Diarrhea, right?
Row!
Then you can just pull it in the carriage or squat on the horse!

injured?
I got sick?
Lie in the carriage!

Getting lost on purpose?

does not exist!
The bad guys are leading the way in front!

I originally wanted to delay time, but ended up arriving early.

………………

Xinghua Prefecture!
Inside the government office!
"I, Liang Zishi, the prefect of Xinghua, pay my respects to Your Highness!"

Liang Zishi knelt on the ground and trembled. He had received the news long ago and knew very well what Zhu Xiongying's purpose in coming here was.

"Are you the prefect of Xinghua Prefecture?"

"Yes Yes!"

"Do you know why I came here?"

"I...I don't know!"

"I don't know?"

"I don't know why you are so nervous?"

Zhu Xiongying looked at him, his body trembling slightly.

"This is the first time I have met His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. I am overwhelmed by his majesty, so I am nervous."

Zhu Xiongying smiled. This kind of nonsense might be able to fool Mr. Shiquan, but he wanted to fool himself?
What a bullshit majesty!
"Don't be nervous!"

"I just came to see you guys!"

“Yes…Yes…!”

Having said that, Liang Zishi was still very scared.

It's normal to be afraid when you know that today is the day you die.

"Liang Zishi, take me to Yisha Village for a look!"

"Yes Yes!"

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

Yisha Village!
A group of people came to Yisha Village in a mighty manner.

At this time, this place was already overgrown with weeds, as if it had been abandoned for a long time, and it didn't look like a village at all.

"Where is the county magistrate?"

"Chen is here!"

“Is this Yisa Village?”
