Ming Dynasty, the 15th year of Hongwu.

The first month of the lunar year has just passed, and the atmosphere of the New Year has just dissipated.

The weather is still very cold and the wind is howling outside the window.

In the main hall of the imperial city in the capital, a group of princes were reading with their teacher, nodding their heads.

Volume 31 of "History of Ming Dynasty": Taizu ordered the scholar Song Lian to teach the classics to the crown prince and the kings in the Daben Hall, and later in the Wenhua Back Hall.

It is obvious that the Great Hall is where the princes of the Ming Dynasty usually attend classes.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Grand Secretary Song Lian as his teacher and sent other scholars to assist him.

"The sky and earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless, the sun and moon wax and wane, the stars are lined up, winter comes and goes, autumn harvests and winter stores, leap years make up the year, and the rhythm of the sun and the moon adjusts to the rhythm of the sun."

Zhu Quan held a copy of the Thousand Character Classic and recited along with the Master, his face filled with pain.

He's going crazy!

Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, that's nothing, who made him a die-hard Ming fan? He likes to read Ming Dynasty online novels the most, and he has seen all kinds of ways, such as exposing himself as a time traveler at the beginning, explaining the dragon-slaying technique to Lao Zhu in prison, and so on.

But... he actually traveled through time and space and became the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the neglected seventeenth son, Prince Ning Zhu Quan.

If one travels back in time to adulthood and ends up on a fiefdom, that would be fine. One can then enjoy wealth and glory and do whatever they want.

But damn, he couldn't bear to travel back to his childhood and get up early and go to school late every day! He had suffered enough from the hardship of studying in his previous life, but he didn't expect that he would have to endure this hardship again after traveling back to the past! Wouldn't it be a waste of my time traveling back to the past? In addition, the teacher Song Lian was quite strict in his discipline, and he would use a ruler to hit his palms if he was naughty.

This old man really dares to fight. No matter which prince you are, he will beat you.

So cruel!

"No, I have to find a way to get out of this situation. I can't go on like this."

As a modern man, Zhu Quan really couldn't stand reading every day, especially reading classical Chinese.

Especially, seeing the group members take off one by one.

He is still studying hard, which makes it even more unbearable.

Look at the other time travelers in the group. Even Xu Huaping, who traveled to the Qing Dynasty and became a maid, took up arms to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and even occupied half of the country and proclaimed herself king.

Although Wang Xiaobao, who traveled to Hong Kong, has not yet taken off, he has a good father.

As for Zhu Quan, he met a cheap father who betrayed his son.

As a prince, not only was he not able to enjoy his life, he was also forced to study for more than ten hours every day.

Why are you reading Nima's book? Do you still expect the Ming Dynasty to last forever?

For ordinary traversers, gaining the trust of the sinister Old Zhu is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

If you say something wrong, you will lose your head on the spot and your life will be in danger.

Zhu Quan was different. He was the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, although he had no status.

Old Zhu had only two sons, one was Crown Prince Abia, and the other was someone else.

Compared to other time travelers, his situation was better, but not much better.

"Or else, just follow Li Mingda's example and expose yourself to Old Zhu."

"Otherwise, just pretend to be a charlatan."

While reading the book intermittently, Zhu Quan weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

"No, I still have to be cautious. I'll first seek advice from the big guys in the group."

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Quan was still a little hesitant, fearing that he would be beheaded by Old Zhu if he was not careful.

"Yes, let's discuss it with someone."

Thinking of this, Zhu Quan had an idea and opened the chat group.

Clicking on Su Qing's avatar in the group member list, he thought for a moment and said:

"Hello, Brother Su. I am Zhu Quan who traveled to the early Ming Dynasty."

"I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Su. I have a small question that I would like to ask you."

"It is now the spring of the fifteenth year of Hongwu. This body of mine is only five years old. I can't stand studying for more than ten hours every day."

"I wanted to follow the example of Miss Li Mingda in the group and reveal my identity to Lao Zhu, but I was afraid that Lao Zhu would kill me on the spot."

"So, I have hesitated for a long time and have not made up my mind yet. I would like to ask you to help me analyze it. Is it okay for me to do this?"

Zhu Quan wanted to ask other people directly in the public group chat, but changed his mind.

Others couldn't help him at all except for giving some advice.

It would be better to go directly to Su Qing and see if he can get help from him like Xu Huaping, Xiao Yichen and Li Mingda.

Earth.

After finishing the private chat with Xie Yuanshan, Su Qing contacted the supplier and settled the food issue.

This time, he directly ordered a quantity of one thousand tons.

Anyway, you don’t have to worry about the food expiring or getting moldy since you just leave it in a portable space where time stands still.

This will save other people from having to run around in case they need food in the future.

Afterwards, he began to practice martial arts.

Holding the divine crystal in his hand, he practiced his skills, and wisps of light blue energy were absorbed into his body.

After the operation of the martial arts secret book "Pure Yang Treasure Book", the attributeless energy was transformed into pure Yang internal force.

A trace of pure Yang internal energy, carrying a warmth, flowed happily in the meridians as if it had life.

After circulating in the meridians for several times, it flows along the tendons, bones and membranes to the limbs and bones, tempering the flesh, blood and bones over and over again.

Finally, all the pure Yang internal energy gathered in the Dantian.

Su Qing closed his eyes and concentrated on absorbing the energy of the divine crystal, continuously strengthening the pure yang force in his body.

Time passed slowly, and an hour later, a level 1 divine crystal disappeared.

A feeling of fullness came through the meridians, indicating that today's practice had reached its limit.

The dark sky outside gradually brightened.

“It’s a new day!”

Su Qing opened his eyes, stood up, and moved his hands and feet.

He estimated his own strength: 8,200 kilograms! "Not bad, steadily improving, there is a lot to look forward to in the future!"

Su Qing was very satisfied. This feeling of growing stronger day by day was really fascinating.

“First thing in the morning, clock in!”

[Ding! Check-in successful, points +2! ]

A line of light golden words appeared.

Looking at the balance of 918 points in the group points column, Su Qing's mouth curled up slightly.

We are getting closer and closer to one thousand points, which is really exciting.

“Ding ding ding”

At this time, a private message popped up in the chat group, revealing a long paragraph from Zhu Quan.

Su Qing frowned. Did he want to confront Lao Zhu and reveal his identity as a time traveler?

Not to mention, he had read quite a few self-exposure novels before.

What about self-exposure with Qin Shihuang, self-exposure with Li Erfeng, and self-exposure with Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Hello, Brother Zhu, I am Su Qing."

"I understand your situation. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand studying for more than ten hours a day."

"However, I think you should think carefully about what you said about exposing yourself to Lao Zhu."

Fiction is fiction, reality is reality.

What if Old Zhu thought that Zhu Quan was possessed by a demon and dragged him out and burned him to death? Wouldn’t that be his death in vain?

But I dare not joke with my life and property.

"Yes, Brother Su is right. I have the same concerns, which is why I have been hesitant and dare not make a decision."

As if he had found a soulmate, Zhu Quan replied with approval.

"Brother Su, what should I do? Do you still have that supernatural fruit?"

His real intention of looking for Su Qing was to ask Su Qing for help in getting a supernatural fruit.

"Yes, I do. Why, do you also want to follow Xu Huaping and the others and support me in becoming an administrator?"

Seeing the last half sentence of Zhu Quan's words and the task that popped up, Su Qing showed a playful smile.

It's not impossible to invest in him a supernatural fruit, it just depends on whether it's worth it.

Ming Dynasty time and space.

A green date suddenly appeared in the portable space. No, it was a supernatural fruit.

Zhu Quan's face showed shock.

"This is the supernatural fruit I got in exchange for a promise. Can I awaken my supernatural powers if I eat it?"

He saw this thing mentioned by old group members in the historical chat records.

But this is the first time I saw its true appearance. It is actually the same size as a date. Who can believe it?

"Brother Su is right. Only when I awaken my superpowers can I have the capital to talk to Lao Zhu."

"Even if I anger Old Zhu, I can still get away with it and deal with it calmly."

"Without further delay, I will awaken my superpowers now."

Although this was the main hall, all the imperial brothers sat in a row, studying under the guidance of the teacher.

But Zhu Quan couldn't care less. He had had enough of this dark life! Taking out the supernatural fruit from his personal space, Zhu Quan secretly put it into his mouth.

"Hey, Seventeenth Brother, what are you eating?"

The sharp-eyed Prince of Dai, Zhu Gui, who was standing beside him, noticed his little movement immediately and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

“Hmm.”

Zhu Quan murmured softly and was too busy to reply.

The supernatural fruit melts in the mouth and turns into countless powerful energies that flow into the body.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Quan's body floated up, emitting terrifying white lightning.

"Ah, my seventeenth brother was struck by lightning for stealing food."

Zhu Gui jumped up and retreated quickly, shouting.

"boom"

Such a sudden change caused a sensation in the entire main hall.

All the princes looked at Zhu Quan in mid-air in horror, and the Master's eyes were dull.

Thunder and lightning, is this a punishment from heaven?

Soon, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang received the news and came to the main hall with a group of guards.

“Crackle.”

There were billions of flashes of lightning on Zhu Quan's body, and from a distance it looked like the god of thunder descending to earth.

He closed his eyes, accepting the transformation of thunder, his mind immersed in the thunder space.

"What's going on? Old Thirteen, tell me!"

While Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with shock, there was an indelible fear deep in his eyes.

He couldn't help but be afraid of this unexpected and uncontrollable thing.

Looking at the princes in front of him and questioning them, he looked at Prince Dai Zhu Gui.

Because Zhu Gui's seat was closest to Zhu Quan, and the two had communicated with each other before.

"Replying to Your Majesty, just now I saw Brother Seventeen seemed to be eating secretly. I asked him what he was eating, but he didn't answer me."

"After a while, he suddenly floated up, and countless lightning flashes appeared on his body."

Zhu Gui, who was only nine years old, looked at Old Zhu's serious face and replied honestly.

"Hmm? Eating. What did he eat? Tell me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned cold and he shouted.

"I don't know. I swear, I really don't know."

Zhu Gui shook her head repeatedly and replied almost crying.

"Father!"

At this time, Zhu Quan had completely awakened to the power of lightning! Moreover, his mind automatically connected to a dimensional space full of lightning elements.

With just a thought, you can release endless thunder!

At the same time, his body was also strengthened by the supernatural fruit, and each punch had a force of 500 kilograms!

"Old Seventeen, you."

Looking at Zhu Quan gradually falling to the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed a complicated expression.

Surprise, curiosity, inquiry, etc., and even a subtle hint of murderous intent.

"Father, let's not disturb the teacher's class."

Zhu Biao glanced around and interrupted him.

There are too many people here, it's not a good place to talk.

"good."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, this was indeed the truth.

Everyone left the main hall and came to an empty palace.

"Zhu Quan, a man from a later generation, has met the Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty and the Crown Prince Yiwen."

Facing the inquiring gazes of the old Zhu couple, Zhu Quan clasped his fists and saluted, and a crisp sound was rang out.

He decided to show his cards!

"Hmm? Someone from later generations? Emperor Gao? Prince Yiwen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Zhu Quan as if he was looking at a dead person.

I'm not even dead yet, but you're already eager to give me and Biao'er a posthumous title.

What? Just because you got the power of thunder, you want to rebel?

"Seventeenth brother, be careful with your words!"

Seeing Zhu Quan's unfriendly expression, Zhu Biao knew what he was thinking and quickly scolded him.

For an emperor, it is unforgivable for someone to covet the throne.

This is absolutely a taboo, even for one's own son.

"Biao'er, let him talk. We want to see what he can say!"

Old Zhu has gradually calmed down. As a prince, it is normal for him to have ambitions to covet the throne, but how to deal with it depends on his mood.

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince don't believe it? Then you should know that on the first day of May this year, the Crown Prince Zhu Xiongying will pass away."

Zhu Quan, who had awakened his lightning power, was confident and said slowly, "The Queen passed away in August this year."

He was a fan of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life and had mixed feelings about it.

The truth is, among all the founding emperors in the ancient times for thousands of years, the one who came to power most legitimately was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

What’s regrettable is that Crown Prince Abia died early, Zhu Yuanzhang went on a killing spree, and the throne was taken by his illegitimate son Zhu Yunwen, and then there were all kinds of troubles afterwards.

I had the chance to travel back to the early Ming Dynasty, or the spring of the fifteenth year of Hongwu, when the crown prince and the queen were still alive.

Zhu Quan naturally wanted to change all this from the source! "How outrageous!"

"Come here, take him away and lock him up. Don't leave without our order."

Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry and cursed his beloved Empress Ma and his eldest grandson. This was unforgivable.

"Seventeenth brother, do you know what you are talking about?"

Now even Zhu Biao got angry and kept scolding.

Clang! Erhu rushed in with several Jinyiwei, and Zhu Quan nodded lightly.

A flash of electric arc paralyzed several people.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's pupils shrank and they quietly stepped back.

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, don't worry. I am not making this up. This is what is recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty."

After subduing a few people, Zhu Quan still spoke calmly and leisurely.

"History of the Ming Dynasty? Are you cursing the demise of the Ming Dynasty?"

As we all know, after a dynasty falls, the next dynasty will begin to compile history.

For example, the Ming Dynasty compiled the History of Yuan Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty compiled the History of Ming Dynasty.

When the founding emperor was told that the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

"Is there any dynasty that will never perish? This is not surprising."

Zhu Quan said as a matter of course: "The Ming Dynasty lasted for 276 years, which is not a short time."

"Are you really from the future? Then tell me, when will I die, and who will be the emperor after that?"

I see that Zhu Quan has a nose and a face. The key is that this kid can release lightning at will. It's unbearable!

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved and he gradually believed what he said.

"The crown prince died of illness in the 25th year of Hongwu, and your majesty passed away in the 31st year of Hongwu. The successor was the crown prince Zhu Yunwen, and the reign was named Jianwen."

"In the early years of the Jianwen era, the Jianwen Emperor issued an edict to reduce the number of vassal states. Prince of Yan Zhu Di raised an army to quell the rebellion and ascended the throne in the fourth year of the Jianwen era, with the reign title of Yongle."
