"Why is the little emperor so surprised?"
Seeing Zhu Ming so surprised, Liu Jin asked cautiously.
The affairs of the court are not accessible to the young emperor and grandson at his age, so why should he care so much.
"That's not it. Fourth uncle is here too?"
Zhu Ming's excitement didn't stop there.
Zhu Di was granted the title of King of Yan, and followed Lan Yu to fight everywhere and learn how to arrange troops.
Since becoming a vassal, he has seldom returned to Beijing.
Zhu Ming was also very interested in this future Taizong.
"It should be there."
Ander just responded with a puzzled look on his face. As a foreigner who had just come to court for the first time, he had basically never heard of these princes.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Zhu Ming couldn't care less, so he turned around, pulled Xu Miaojin, and ran towards the Daming Palace.
"you……"
Xu Miaojin wanted to speak out to dissuade him, but seeing Zhu Ming's excitement, she endured it and allowed Zhu Ming to hold her.
"Grandpa Huang."
As soon as Zhu Ming appeared on the stage, he attracted the attention of the whole audience.
Even Lan Yu, the generals who were supposed to be the protagonists, turned their heads after hearing Zhu Ming's immature and somewhat innocent shouts.
He has a tall and thick physique, coupled with the heavy armor that covers his whole body, and his weather-beaten face is very vicissitudes of life. Just standing there exudes a murderous intent, without being angry or intimidating.
Behind him, also stood a man in his thirties or early forties, wise and powerful, more restrained than the murderous Lan Yu.
Since Chang Yuchun's death and Xu Da's retirement, Lan Yu has become Zhu Yuanzhang's most respected general.
When Zhu Ming saw him, he was even more stunned.
Although I have been in the palace for a long time, I have not yet learned about the affairs of the court.
But logically speaking, Lan Yu should have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang by now.
Not only are you still alive and well, but you are also leading troops in the north?
"Uncle Zhu, Uncle Lanyu."
Unlike Zhu Ming who was stunned, Xu Miaojin, as a junior, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Lan Yu and already obediently gave a junior salute.
"This is Jin'er, he's grown so big."
As a general under Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu was still close to Xu Da and Xu Da's children.
Seeing Xu Miaojin, he smiled and waved his hand, asking Xu Miaojin to come closer.
Xu Miaojin tugged on Zhu Ming's sleeves, calling him back to his senses, and then walked towards Lan Yu.
"Lin'er, you must be scared."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming who was still standing there, and smiled and waved.
In his opinion, Zhu Ming was frightened by Lan Yu's battle-hardened aura.
As a child, it’s not surprising.
"Come on, come on, this is your Uncle Lan Yu, Grandpa Huang's most capable general."
Zhu Yuanzhang walked over, picked up Zhu Ming, walked to Lan Yu, and introduced Zhu Ming with a smile.
"This is the little emperor's grandson."
Lan Yu was a little surprised when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang hugging Zhu Ming himself.
What is this child's background? It's okay to break into the court without permission, and yet he is so favored by His Majesty.
With the experience of bringing Ender in last time, the other ministers were now more open-minded and not too surprised.
"Come on, call Uncle Lan."
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Lan Yu and continued to introduce Zhu Ming.
"Uncle Lan."
Zhu Ming also followed Zhu Yuanzhang and shouted obediently.
While Zhu Ming was shouting, Zhu Yuanzhang was also looking at Lan Yu, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were so cold that there was no trace of anger.
Lan Yu's military exploits were unrivaled, and his prestige in the army was unmatched. Even Zhu Yuanzhang found it difficult to control him.
Originally, I wanted him to assist Zhu Biao after seeing that he was related to Biao'er.
But since Zhu Biao's death, it is difficult for any of these princes to suppress him.
If Zhu Ming or Zhu Yunwen didn't take Lan Yu seriously, then they wouldn't be able to keep him.
"I've met the little emperor's grandson."
Lan Yu just clasped her hands into fists without bowing. She stood up straight and bowed.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression immediately turned cold.
It was just that Lan Yu had just returned from the border and it was difficult for her to have an attack, so she endured it.
Zhu Ming looked at Lan Yu's appearance and didn't take it to heart.
After all, he was just a child, and the only card in his hand was Ender. It was normal for Lan Yu to look down on him.
However, this Lan Yu is still like this in the court, and it is not a loss at all to be killed by Lao Zhu.
"This must be the little nephew that the father brought back."
The middle-aged man who was following Lan Yu stood up, looked at Zhu Ming in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, smiled and said hello.
"Lin'er, this is your fourth uncle."
Zhu Yuanzhang's anger subsided and he introduced Zhu Ming again.
"Sure enough, he is Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi who overthrew Zhu Yunzhen."
Zhu Ming nodded secretly. This Zhu Di's magnanimity was indeed extraordinary. It was normal that the good boy Zhu Yunwen couldn't defeat him.
"I'll see my fourth uncle tomorrow."
Facing this future thigh, Zhu Ming put on a well-behaved look and shouted sweetly.
"Oh, this little nephew looks so cute."
Zhu Di also reached out and touched Zhu Ming's head, but no one could see the true feelings in those deep eyes.
"General Lan Yu and King Yan have just returned from the border today. We are very happy and plan to hold a banquet to welcome the general and King Yan."
Zhu Di and Zhu Ming just exchanged a few words, and Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted them.
Bringing back the topic interrupted by the appearance of Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin.
"His Majesty!"
Lan Yu and Zhu Di obviously still had something to say, so they hurriedly spoke out, but were interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"We are happy today, but if something happens, we will discuss it tomorrow."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he hugged Zhu Ming and retreated.
This sudden change caught all the ministers by surprise, but now that His Majesty was gone, they did not dare to stop him. They could only look at each other in confusion, and then retreated helplessly.
"General, this...the military pay at the front..."
When all the ministers exited the imperial city, Zhu Di looked at Lan Yu with some embarrassment.
They came back this time not just to report a message.
"I know. I'll take a look at it tonight when His Majesty hosts a banquet."
Lan Yu was also embarrassed. The fighter plane ahead was fleeting, and he was also anxious now.
"Oh, that's the only way it can be."
Zhu Di could only sigh, took one last look in the direction of the imperial city, and retreated with Lan Yu.
That child, I heard, was picked up by his father, and he looked a bit like his elder brother.
Apart from his eldest brother and nephew Zhu Xiongying, this was the first time that he saw his father paying so much attention to a child.
"Tomorrow."
Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin back to the side hall, then looked at Zhu Ming seriously and spoke seriously.
