Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yunteng, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is unwilling to accept a tragic fate for himself and begins to find ways to build power and prepare for rebellion.
<...Logically speaking, this prince of the country has seen the world and learned a lot.
These trade orders have been signed, and the business can be completed.
They should leave and return to their own country.
After all, including the previous gathering in Baoxiang Kingdom and the trip to the Ming Dynasty, nearly two months had already been wasted.
But these princes and princesses just weren't in a hurry to leave, as if they still had something to do with the Ming Dynasty.
But then again, nothing really happened.
Actually, they were having a really great time in the Ming Dynasty. They had good food, good drinks, and good accommodations, and they were having a lot of fun when they went out to play.
This place is simply their dream paradise.
Living a life like royalty here, one naturally wouldn't want to return to that relatively underdeveloped country.
Having developed a discerning palate in the Ming Dynasty, it was natural that the food they ate back home was difficult to swallow.
That's why they were reluctant to leave.
This left Zhu Yunwen somewhat bewildered, wondering if these guys were planning to retire in the Ming Dynasty forever.
Of course, Zhu Yunwen did not intend to let them leave on his own initiative. After all, it would be beneficial for these princes and princesses to stay in the Ming Dynasty, as it would demonstrate the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
This will also make other countries have greater respect for the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, it will make the princes and princesses of these countries feel more affection for the Ming Dynasty.
Maintaining good relations with these countries would not be a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty.
But these guys never want to leave again, and there will come a time when they have to leave.
Because their king, seeing that the princes and princesses of their respective countries had not returned for a long time, had no choice but to send letters urging them to go back.
After all, these princes and princesses can't stay in other countries forever. After receiving the urging message, these princes and princesses were also very helpless.
They could only reluctantly return to their respective countries.
As these princes and princesses returned to their respective countries, the legendary aspects of the Ming Dynasty were completely carried to the west, becoming legends in various regions.
Furthermore, when the princess of the Women's Kingdom was about to leave, she specifically sought out Zhu Yunwen and invited him to the Women's Kingdom.
Zhu Yunwen then remembered that he had promised to visit the Kingdom of Women and establish a deeper and closer cooperation with them.
Zhu Yunwen hadn't actually been to many other countries. This trip to Baoxiang Kingdom was just to attend a gathering of princes from various countries, and it couldn't be considered a formal visit to another country.
Zhu Yunwen also saw the invitation from the Kingdom of Women as an opportunity to visit some countries.
Especially this Kingdom of Women, it was truly full of mystery in Zhu Yunwen's eyes. He really wanted to find out if the Kingdom of Women was actually entirely composed of women.
Of course, Zhu Yunwen was too embarrassed to ask the princess of the Women's Kingdom directly about this question.
He also learned about the Kingdom of Women indirectly, from some of the princess's remarks, that the rulers of the Kingdom of Women were all women.
However, it doesn't say that the entire Kingdom of Women is made up of women, which, in Zhu Yunwen's view, is clearly not biologically consistent.
If they are all women, how will they reproduce?
After all, the women of the Women's Kingdom are not androgynous.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen was filled with curiosity about the Kingdom of Women, and now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to go and see it.
So Zhu Yunwen approached Zhu Yuanzhang and discussed the matter with him. Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that Zhu Yunwen could go and see the different countries.
In the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said to Zhu Yunwen:
"As the saying goes, 'Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.' As the Crown Prince, you should have more knowledge and experience and go to more places."
Nowadays, most of the countries in the west are willing to become vassal states of our Great Ming Dynasty. You should indeed go there and take the initiative to learn about these places.
"While there's still a chance, while we're still holding down the fort in the court, while you're still young, and before you become emperor—these are all opportunities and moments to seize."
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Yunwen also felt that they made a lot of sense. As an emperor, one should rule over the world.
There are two ways to rule the world: one is to actually travel to all parts of the world.
One type of ruler, speaking in the imperial court, could convey his words to all regions with the same force, achieving an effect akin to an emperor ruling the world.
The former requires him to personally travel to various parts of the country to inspect the land.
The latter requires having such an ability.
Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuanzhang talked for a long time and finally decided that they would go to the Women's Kingdom with the princess in the next few days.
Now that the Tang Dynasty is at peace and stable, to be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen really don't need to worry too much anymore, and everything is thriving.
Many decisions were made within the cabinet; all that was needed was for Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Yuanzhang to make a decision.
The three cabinet members were able to handle many things very well, and Zhu Yunwen trusted them very much.
A few days later, Zhu Yunwen, along with a hundred guards and Zhao Qingzhu, followed the princess of the Women's Kingdom to the Women's Kingdom.
When this news spread, princes and princesses from other countries were extremely envious.
They were well aware of the potential for cooperation between the Ming Dynasty's crown prince and the Women's Kingdom if the latter were to visit.
Unfortunately, they can only be envious; after all, they might not actually have that kind of face.
