Great Ming: An Abandoned Baby? That's a Zhu Family Imperial Grandson!

In the tenth month of winter, during the seventh year of Hongwu, on the day of Jimao, Zhu Xiongying, the Great Ming emperor’s eldest legitimate grandson, mysteriously vanished.

The Taizu flew into a rage. Countless eunuchs, imperial guards, and Embroidered Uniform Guards were beheaded, and he issued an edict ordering the entire empire to search with all its might for the Crown Prince’s whereabouts!

Half a year later, while the Taizu was on an inspection tour with Duke of Wei Xu Da, a baby came floating down the river as they watered their horses at Hengshui!

Moved by the baby’s innate charm, the Taizu personally brought him back to Nanjing and had him raised at the Duke of Wei’s residence.

As the baby grew up, the Taizu increasingly realized that the boy looked exactly like the Crown Prince had as a child!

Lan Yu: “Nephew, I’m your real uncle!”

Xu Da: “Anyone who dares touch my nephew will answer to me!”

Chang Yuchun: “Xiongying, from now on, you can do whatever you want anywhere in Great Ming!”

Zhu Di: “My eldest nephew has the makings of a great emperor!”

The court officials: “You call him an abandoned baby? That’s the imperial grandson of Great Ming!”

The Tatar tribes: “Every last remnant of Northern Yuan died at the hands of the Crown Prince!”

The Western nations: “Please don’t come near us! We’ll surrender, all right?”
