The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!
Chapter 28 I can't tell them apart, I really can't tell them apart!
Over here, Mao Xiang was already preparing to draw his sword and chop someone down.
Startled by Zhu Ming's roar, he trembled violently and almost dropped the knife in his hand.
Of course, this doesn't mean he has poor mental fortitude!
Who would have thought that the Sixth Prince possessed a technique that allowed him to transform into a towering giant tens of meters tall? Anyone who saw him would be terrified!
Mao Xiang immediately stopped what he was doing, turned to look at the emperor, and waited for Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, and an aura of imperial majesty instantly spread across his face. He looked sharply at Zhu Ming and reprimanded him in a deep voice, "Zhu Ming, stop this nonsense! We're doing all this for your own good!"
"What happened today is too shocking. Once news about you leaks out, those enemies we defeated will do everything they can to assassinate you."
However, faced with Old Zhu's stern reprimand...
Zhu Ming stood firm, his hands clenched tightly, his eyes unwavering: "I don't need this kind of protection! These older brothers and sisters are all good people who watched me grow up, and I will never allow any of them to die because of me!"
Upon hearing the Sixth Prince's words, Eunuch Cao and the others who were kneeling on the ground finally realized what was happening.
The emperor was planning to kill them to silence them.
Everyone felt a wave of despair.
But when they saw the young Sixth Prince openly defy the Emperor to protect them, their eyes instantly turned red.
Sixth Prince, we are not worth you doing this!
However, at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was not the henpecked Zhu Chongba, but the decisive and ruthless founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu.
His eyes were icy, and his tone was cold: "They are nothing but servants. How can they be compared to the safety of the prince? Ming'er, you get out of our way!"
These words deeply stung Zhu Ming!
He abruptly raised his head and stared directly at Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyes blazing with suppressed anger, and said, "According to you, does that mean Sister Miaoyun is also a servant?!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, his gaze suddenly becoming incredibly complex, a mixture of guilt and indifference.
A moment later, he slowly turned his head to look at Xu Miaoyun, who was being protected by Zhu Ming.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at her for a long time, then asked in a deep voice, "Miaoyun, in your heart, do you blame us?"
Xu Miaoyun bowed slightly, her posture gentle and graceful, her tone calm and even: "This humble woman dares not."
"Since that's the case, do you have any last words?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked slowly.
A pleading look flashed across Xu Miaoyun's eyes as she solemnly requested, "Your Majesty, I have no other request but that you completely conceal what happened today and that my father be kept in the dark. I do not wish for the Xu family to suffer utter destruction because of this."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, acknowledging her final request, and then said coldly, "Mao Xiang, take the Sixth Prince away!"
Mao Xiang was stunned. He pointed to himself as if asking, "Me?"
This is like the Nine-Headed Insect sending Benbo Ba to eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples!
Seeing that Mao Xiang hadn't made a move, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned sharply and roared, "Mao Xiang, are you deaf? I ordered you to take the Sixth Prince away!"
Mao Xiang trembled with fear, daring not to hesitate for a moment longer. He quickly bowed to the Sixth Prince and said, "Sixth Prince, I have offended you. Please forgive me!"
After saying this, Mao Xiang summoned two personal guards to prepare to take Zhu Ming away from the place.
However, before they could get close...
Zhu Ming suddenly took a step forward, his aura changing abruptly, his youthful voice carrying an undeniable force: "Who dares to touch me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned ashen, and he said angrily, "Hurry up and do it!"
Zhu Ming, now completely engrossed, pulled a magnifying lamp from his pocket and shouted, "Law-Heaven-Phenomenon..."
He had only uttered half of those words when...
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he quickly ordered Mao Xiang to stop: "Wait—"
Before he could finish speaking, Mao Xiang stopped abruptly and even took a few steps back, looking at Zhu Ming with a terrified expression.
Brother, your father made me do all of this, it has nothing to do with me.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Ming in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you just say? You clearly said before that the power of the Law of Heaven and Earth is immense and would be contrary to the harmony of Heaven."
"You can only use it twice in your lifetime, and you've already used it all up, so how can you use it again!"
"Really? Did I say that?" Zhu Ming tilted his head, looking at the others with an innocent expression.
Everyone present, including Xu Miaoyun, nodded subconsciously.
"Oh, I see!"
Zhu Ming suddenly put his hands on his hips and said confidently, "Then I'll change it now. From now on, I can use it three times!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
My mind screamed, "You can do this?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood frozen in place, his face alternating between pale and flushed, caught in a dilemma.
He didn't know if his youngest son's words were meant to scare him.
If this statement is false, then the two previous statements may also be false.
But if this is really true...
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to put his hands on his head and shout.
He couldn't tell them apart; he really couldn't tell them apart!
Just at this time,
Empress Ma, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, slowly stepped forward and offered Old Zhu a way out.
Her tone was gentle, without a trace of ruthlessness or murderous intent, as she slowly said, "Chongba, I have a solution that satisfies both sides."
"All the palace servants and eunuchs present today are innocent victims."
"It would be better to bring their families to the capital and settle them there, so that the court can provide them with good care and support, allowing them to live a peaceful life together."
Empress Ma stopped there, her words conveying kindness and compassion.
It appears that she is showing compassion and favor to her servants.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was incredibly ruthless.
He instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Empress Ma's words.
All relatives were detained in the capital, seemingly as a preferential treatment, but in reality, it was a disguised form of house arrest.
By then, everyone's entire family will be under the emperor's watchful eye.
Anyone who dares to leak even the slightest information will have their entire family executed.
This method not only prevented the possibility of leaks but also saved the lives of all the palace staff, which can be described as the best of both worlds!
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, but could not find any better solution for the time being, so he could only nod in agreement.
The crisis is completely over!
When Eunuch Cao and the others saw that they had survived again,
Wait a minute,
Why did I say "again"?
Looking back on the past two days, Eunuch Cao realized that he had stepped into the gates of hell three times.
Moreover, all three of these incidents were caused by the Sixth Prince.
Eunuch Cao couldn't help but sigh.
Why am I so unlucky!
Regardless, it was ultimately the Sixth Prince who saved their lives.
Everyone knelt down in the direction of the Sixth Prince, sincerely bowing and thanking Zhu Ming.
Even Xu Miaoyun was so excited that she hugged Zhu Ming tightly, almost suffocating him.
Don't be fooled by her nonchalant attitude just now.
That was because there was really no other way.
Who wants to die when they can live?
Zhu Yuanzhang stood aside, watching the crowd kowtow and express their gratitude to Zhu Ming.
The dough twitched involuntarily, and he let out a muffled snort.
"Hmph! This kid got to do all the good work, while we've become the heartless ones."
Seeing this, Empress Ma couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Alright, Chongba, why are you, the ruler of a nation, getting angry with a child!"
