Therefore, in his view, none of these can be considered as the so-called military capabilities he has demonstrated.

On the contrary, these are some things that are bound to happen.

If someone else were leading the army, they would achieve the same victory.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still quite satisfied with Zhu Yunwen's humility and said to him:

“Yunwen, humility is good, but there’s no need to be too humble. As the Crown Prince, having such abilities and talents is a good thing, and there’s nothing wrong with admitting it.”

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Yunwen simply smiled and did not refute them further.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang solemnly said to Zhu Yunwen:

"Yunhu must have heard some news before he rushed back this time, right?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:

"Indeed, I heard that a princess and a prince from the Eastern Island Kingdom have come to pay their respects to my Great Ming Emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "To be precise, I've come to meet you."

Zhu Yunwen was taken aback: "Grandfather, what do you mean by that? Why do you say you're here to meet me? What does that have to do with me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and explained to Zhu Yunwen:

"This grandson of the Ming Dynasty is capable and decisive, able to secure the country, govern the nation, and bring peace to the world. He can also lead troops into battle and command the three armies. This is bound to be a source of great joy for the entire Ming Dynasty."

However, there were always some countries that were at odds with the Ming Dynasty and were not so happy that the Ming Dynasty had such a successor.

After all, our Great Ming Dynasty is already very powerful. If another outstanding successor emerges who can lead the Great Ming Dynasty to new heights, it might be a cause for concern for some of the surrounding countries.

Especially in neighboring countries with wildlife populations, it would be inconsistent with their character not to take some action.

Zhu Yunwen said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"So this time, the Eastern Island Kingdom came for me. But I still don't understand, what do they want from me? Do they dare to do something underhanded to me, their grandson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said:

"They obviously don't have the guts yet, but this time they came saying they brought some extraordinary people and geniuses from the Eastern Island Kingdom, as well as geniuses from all walks of life."

Their aim is to come to my Great Ming Dynasty and have a fair exchange and competition with my Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen frowned: "The Eastern Island Kingdom has brought people here to have an exchange and competition with our Great Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded:

“We naturally understand the little schemes of the Eastern Island Nation. Since they are targeting you, they naturally want to use some of their so-called talented people and geniuses from all walks of life to defeat you, the all-powerful heir to the Ming Dynasty.”

Once the myth of you as the heir to the Ming Dynasty is shattered, the Eastern Island Kingdom will become more confident and realize that you, the heir to the Ming Dynasty, are not as powerful as rumored.

This would not only reassure them somewhat about the Ming Dynasty, but also fuel their increasingly insane ambitions!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen instantly understood.
