Great Ming: The Abandoned Baby Was Actually the Empire’s Eldest Legitimate Son

In the first year of the Longfeng era, Lady Ma gave birth to twin sons by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The elder was Zhu Shan, and the younger was Zhu Biao.

Because Zhu Shan was born with a disability, he was considered an ill omen. At the height of his rise to power, Zhu Yuanzhang tearfully abandoned him at a ruined temple.

In the seventh year of the Hongwu era, the young Zhu Shan from a later age was personally named the top scholar by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The moment Zhu Shan raised his face, the entire court was stunned.

Zhu Shan then delivered his acceptance speech as the top scholar.

"Your Majesty, I was abandoned by my parents at a ruined temple when I was one year old."

"I ask you to find them and reward them. From now on, I owe them nothing, and they owe me nothing."

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's head roared. His whole body shuddered, and he burst into tears.

"My poor Shan'er!"

The entire court, meanwhile, cursed Zhu Shan's parents as beasts for abandoning him.

Zhu Yuanzhang: ??

You're the beasts! Back then, I had no choice!

Soon, he was at a loss. Between Zhu Shan and Zhu Biao, which one should inherit the throne?
