The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 532 The Army Turns Against Them
Lu Ben was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.

This statement was completely different from what Zhu Yunwen had told him.

This statement is definitely not unfounded; perhaps it's true that the kid's skills aren't that great, which is why he encountered such a problem.

Upon seeing this place, Lü Ben felt extremely disdainful.

He didn't care about any of that. In his opinion, if Zhu Yunwen had no ability, then he was the most suitable person to sit in that position.

In their view, the emperor shouldn't have any great abilities. As long as power is given to these powerful families to govern the country, then the country will be well-governed very quickly.

Lu Ben smiled and said.

"With the abilities of us to govern, there will naturally be no problems in the world. I believe that the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunwen, can do a good job!"

Seeing Lü Ben's current state, Crown Prince Zhu Biao felt extremely angry.

Back then, when the Lü family committed such a heinous crime, I didn't remove him from his position or take any action against them. I simply imprisoned him in the Eastern Palace. I never imagined that this guy would be so ungrateful. If I had known, I should have completely wiped out the entire Lü family.

"Give up on that idea. Even if it were a position I were to inherit in the future, I would absolutely not let Yunwen become the Crown Prince!"

Hearing this, Lü Ben was extremely angry.

I really don't know what those two guys were thinking, insisting that Zhu Xiong Ying inherit one of their positions.

What's wrong with my own grandson? My own grandson is so exceptional.

It seemed that each of those Zhu Xiong Ying's bodies exuded murderous intent. If this person were to become emperor, the lives of these aristocratic families would be in jeopardy.

"Your Highness, please don't think too much about it. I know which palace the current Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying is living in. Although there are indeed many guards in his palace, I have transferred a large number of troops there. I think it won't be long before good news comes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and his crown prince Zhu Biao were furious when they heard this. They never expected that these guys would dare to lay a hand on Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Xiong Ying is the future of the Ming Dynasty. If something happens to him, it will be a huge loss for the entire Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely flustered. At this moment, the Crown Prince Zhu Biao hurriedly comforted him.

"Father, rest assured, Zhu Xiong Ying is a very capable fellow. Although these people are deliberately guarding against the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Western Depot, if I'm not mistaken, Zhu Xiong Ying definitely has other tricks up his sleeve. He will definitely not be taken down by these guys so easily!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after hearing this, agreeing that it was indeed true.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao still harbored illusions, Lü Ben smiled.

Xiao didn't say much; he didn't lack the time.

On the contrary, if this time can be used to make these two people give up, it would be a good thing.

Anyway, his men have now completely controlled several city gates, so at least for now, troops from all over the country cannot reach Yingtian Prefecture.

Many of the troops in Yingtian Prefecture were already under his control, and those troops and soldiers who did not obey him had been drugged by his men.

This is the true foundation of powerful clans. Their influence is interconnected, and they have many people serving them in the military. They even hold considerable leverage over these people, so they dare not rebel. Even if these people wanted to rebel, they could only follow along without any other thoughts.

Meanwhile, inside the palace where Zhu Xiong Ying was, an army was indeed attacking the area.

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Xiong Ying was extremely surprised. Thinking of this place, he smiled and said...

"As expected, these are all low-class things, but it doesn't matter. I want to see what they're capable of!"

At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying walked out directly under the protection of his men.

The general in charge of the troops was extremely surprised to see Zhu Xiong Ying come out. He was astonished that Zhu Xiong Ying was so bold as to dare to come out alone.

Could it be that he had some kind of backing? After thinking of this place, he felt a little worried. "Brothers, as long as we shoot Zhu Xiong Ying, we will be heroes who helped the emperor rise to power, and everyone will be promoted and ennobled!"

"Brothers, kill him!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhu Xiong Ying pulled something out from behind him—a megaphone.

This item was something Zhu Xiong Ying had gone to great lengths to buy from the system.

"My soldiers of the Great Ming, you are all soldiers of the Great Ming, are you going to point your weapons at your own grandson?"

"Many families and scholars in the court are now rebelling. They understand very well that I have given all these lands and benefits to the people of the world so that they can have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. The same applies to your families!"

"But these people have enslaved your families since ancient times. Now that they see you living a good life, they are naturally dissatisfied and want to kill me and restore all the systems to what they were before. After that time, you will be controlled by these people!"

"Think about it, your family members are able to eat their fill now. If it were those landlords from the past, would they have let you eat your fill?"

"These powerful families are the real cancer of our Great Ming Dynasty. Now they are united and want to destroy the glory of our Great Ming Dynasty over the years. Do you want to be their accomplices?"

Upon hearing this, these people hesitated greatly. Indeed, their lives had improved considerably over the years, especially after the implementation of the Tandin policy.

The requirement for gentry to pay taxes as a unit seemed to have pulled those powerful families down from their pedestals; they were no longer afraid of these people, and these people also became much more restrained.

If they were to actually follow their general and kill the Crown Prince, things might return to the way they were before, and they would continue living a life of hunger and cold.

Many of the videos began to falter, and at this point, the lonely general was filled with extreme panic.

As a member of a prominent family, he naturally had to protect the interests of his own clan.

Hearing Zhu Xiong Ying say this, he was extremely shocked and incredulous. How dare Zhu Xiong Ying speak to him like that? Was he really not afraid of offending all the powerful families in the world? Seeing his soldiers hesitate, he felt a great sense of panic and looked at them, saying...

"What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? Don't forget you're all soldiers, you should obey orders!"
