Chapter 342: I am the First Emperor of Qin
"Cough cough..."

Zhu Zhanjun coughed dryly and said, "Don't worry about these little details."

Everyone was speechless for a while.

Zhu Zhanjun said without blushing or panting: "Li Shimin gave me a new idea. Just as he said, the Great Yan world is currently moving at full strength. Although there will be some turmoil and risks, it is actually a great opportunity for us."

"The forces of the world have reached the outbreak stage. Once the war breaks out, we are still building our own factions, which will easily affect the command of the army."

"For example, Xiaowogua, they were at odds with the sea and the land, which caused mistakes in all aspects. I will never tolerate this kind of thing happening to our people."

"Ying Zheng and the uncle each control their own power, which has had a huge impact on our rule."

"So I decided to learn from Li Shimin and break this shackle with a thunderbolt strike."

Next, Zhu Zhanjun told everyone about his plan. After hearing it, everyone nodded slightly and added their own ideas.

…………

"The little emperor called me to discuss matters?"

In the Regent's mansion, Ying Zheng, who was looking at the intelligence sent by the Moon Shadow Guard, was stunned when he heard the report from his servant.

Ever since he became regent, the young emperor has been afraid of him and has never taken the initiative to look for him, let alone discuss government affairs with him.

The servant nodded quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty, it is said that not only you but also the king's uncle were invited. It seems that in addition to discussing government affairs, they also want to ease the relationship between the two of you."

Ying Zheng smiled meaningfully: "The little guy has grown up, and he is quite caring."

He stood up and instructed the maid beside him, "Since the little guy has taken it seriously once, I, as his uncle, cannot discourage him from making progress. Bring me my court robes."

Soon Ying Zheng began to wash and change into court clothes.

On the other side, the Prince's Mansion also received the news.

"Haha, interesting!"

"Take my court robes. I want to see what's going on."

The two men left the mansion and slowly walked towards the imperial gate with their men.

As luck would have it, both of them walked through the Xuanwu Gate and arrived almost at the same time.

The carriage stopped, the two men got out, looked at each other, and walked towards the Xuanwu gate.

Each of them brought dozens of guards, who formed a line and followed behind the two men.

The two men walked in front, talking and laughing as if they were not enemies, but the guards behind them looked at each other coldly, each holding the holster on their waist, looking tense.

"Crunch..."

The Xuanwu Gate was slowly opened. Ying Zheng looked at the empty space behind the gate and felt a chill in his heart.

"It seems that the little emperor has really grown up."

Ying Zheng said something meaningful.

The king's uncle, who was standing by, also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He tapped his hands behind him a few times, and a guard quickly left.

The same happened on Ying Zheng's side. A guard quickly left the team and headed away.

"So are you planning to go back, or go back to start years of preparation?" After his men left, the prince's uncle said something meaningful.

Ying Zheng said nothing and turned to look at his uncle.

"What are you preparing for? What are you starting? I don't quite understand what the prince's uncle is saying."

After saying that, he strode inside.

The prince frowned, but still followed him in.

After the two men and their guards walked into the Xuanwu Gate, the Xuanwu Gate behind them slowly closed.

Behind the door was a wide square, which looked extremely empty, without even a single guard.

The two men continued to move forward calmly, while the guards secretly took out their pistols, alert to the surroundings and prepared for a fight.

When they arrived at the inner city gate, they found that the gate was not open but tightly closed.

The two stopped and looked back at the surrounding city walls.

As the two watched, a man in a strange military uniform appeared and pointed his gun at them.

In some important directions, there were also machine guns.

"Crash..."

The guards hurried forward and protected the two men, looking at the surrounding city walls with serious expressions.

"Is your Majesty here?"

There was no panic on Ying Zheng's face as he shouted to the people around him.

"What does the Regent want from me?"

Zhu Zhanjun stood up and looked down at the two of them.

"Nephew, what do you mean?"

"If you want to get rid of this guy, or want to rule the country yourself, tell your uncle. Your uncle has disliked this guy for a long time."

"It goes without saying."

Ying Zheng beside him interrupted him, "This Majesty is no longer the Majesty you know?"

"What do you mean?"

The king's uncle was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ying Zheng with a frown.

Zhu Zhanjun's pupils shrank and he looked straight at Ying Zheng.

Pushing aside the guards in front of him, Ying Zheng slowly walked towards the wall where Zhu Zhanjun was. The other side even set up heavy machine guns, and they were doomed to die unless the people outside could react quickly.

Arriving at the foot of the city wall, Ying Zheng looked up at Zhu Zhanjun and asked, "Where is my child?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Ying Zheng was talking about my child, not my majesty.

Although it is just a short sentence, it represents a myriad of meanings.

Ying Zheng did not wait for Zhu Zhanjun to answer and continued, "Although you look like him, when I first saw you, I realized that you were not him."

"That child is nothing like me. He is weak and cowardly. He can't even look me in the eye."

"And in your eyes, I see the desire to try and challenge, and even a sense of equality."

"This is not the demeanor that child should have. Although some people can change after experiencing great changes, he eats, drinks and has fun every day in the palace. I also sent people to secretly protect him. Naturally, he will not experience this."

"So from that moment on I concluded that you were not him."

Zhu Zhanjun sighed inwardly, he was indeed the first emperor of a generation. He could tell that the other party was wrong just by looking at him and feeling.

Actually, if you think about it, when two people get along for a long time, you can tell at a glance whether they are the one.

Zhu Zhanjun didn't say much about his identity being exposed, but asked Ying Zheng curiously.

"He is your child. Did you exchange him for your own child when he was born?"

Ying Zheng shook his head.

"How could I do such a dirty thing?"

He was silent for a while before he said, "In fact, when I was in the ruined temple, I met His Majesty and his sister."

"The three of us traveled together, supporting each other and going through hardships and dangers."

"However, things did not go as planned. In a battle, His Majesty was seriously injured and is no longer able to move."

Zhu Zhanjun opened his mouth wide. He finally understood why Zhu Yan, as the emperor, had only him as a son and no daughter.

If this is inhumane, there will be no future generations.

The prince's uncle also opened his mouth wide. He finally understood why his sister always had a complicated expression every time she mentioned her children.

"Later, his sister and I got together. We got married under the auspices of His Majesty, and she became pregnant the following year."

"It seems that God didn't want me to be perfect. When giving birth to that child, my wife, your Majesty's sister, died of heavy bleeding during childbirth, leaving only the child behind."

"We are both heartbroken, but God has said so. There is nothing we can do. We will fight the war while taking care of this little guy to create a great future."

"Later, when choosing who would be the emperor, His Majesty wanted me to do it, but I refused."

"Because I know that when I become the emperor, I will be surrounded by women. Once I have a child, it will have an impact on the child."

"I don't want to disappoint his mother, and I don't want to disappoint the promise I made to his mother before she died."

"So I let your Majesty ascend the throne and become emperor. In order to repay me, your Majesty treated that child, his nephew, as his own son and made him the crown prince and emperor."

"That's why, even though I knew the ruler was young and the country was in trouble, I was still able to become the regent."

Ying Zheng looked up at Zhu Zhanjun and said, "Now that you know everything, can you tell me where my child is?"

Zhu Zhanjun met that direct gaze and remained silent for a long time before answering: "I don't know."

Zhu Zhanjun had no intention of hiding anything. Even if he lied, he couldn't fool the other party.

"He disappeared after I arrived. I don't know exactly where he went, but I can tell you responsibly that he is not dead."

Ying Zheng, who had originally been unaware of what he had heard and had a flash of grief and anger in his eyes, now felt much better.

"I hope he's okay."

After saying this, he looked up at Zhu Zhanjun.

"I have told you everything about me, now you can tell me who you are."

Zhu Zhanjun nodded, gestured behind him, and Old Zhu stood up.

"The First Emperor, I didn't expect that we would meet in this way."

Old Zhu spoke and said hello.

Ying Zheng's expression remained unchanged, "So you are from there too."

Ying Zheng knew in his heart that only people from there would call him the First Emperor.

"My name is Zhu Chongba, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Later, I changed my name to Zhu Yuanzhang. According to our investigation, Zhu Chongsi is my eldest brother, my biological eldest brother, there is absolutely no mistake."

He patted Zhu Zhanjun next to him and said, "This is my great-grandson Zhu Zhanjun, the most outstanding emperor of our Ming Dynasty, who has connected several worlds and conquered countless rivers and mountains."

He turned around and looked at Ying Zheng, "We took over all of this, which means that the throne has returned to our Zhu family."

Ying Zheng fell silent for a long time before he spoke: "I can give up everything and even directly order the power to be handed over to your Zhu family."

"But I have a request, take me back, back to my own home, and help me find the child."

Old Zhu frowned and said calmly: "Why do you think we should trust you?"

Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at Zhu Zhanjun, "I am the first emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng!"

"Fire!"

Fierce gunfire rang out, and the king's uncle and others, who were shocked by the news, were instantly shot to pieces.

Ying Zheng stood at the foot of the city wall, as if he didn't hear the noise behind him, and looked at Zhu Zhanjun calmly.
