The City Emptied in Welcome, Citizens of the Prefectural City Greeted Him of Their Own Accord! Shen Yu'er and Lin Fu's Shock!

Perhaps!

Just as later generations evaluated the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao was the eldest son born to Zhu Chongba and his first wife, back when Zhu Chongba had yet to rise to prominence and welcomed his first blood heir in an ordinary commoner's home.

The children born afterward were all Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, and this "Zhu Yuanzhang" was no longer the "Zhu Chongba" of those days.

Perhaps they were fundamentally the same person, but to Zhu Yuanzhang, the significance was worlds apart.

"Prince."

Yao Guangxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice carrying an unfathomable meaning. "Time will prove everything."

"Yes."

Zhu Di straightened his back, his expression incomparably solemn as determination rose in his eyes. "Time will prove everything. I will certainly prove to Father Emperor that I, Zhu Di, am his son as well."

"Once Liaodong has been properly governed, Your Highness's chance to stand out among His Majesty's sons will arrive."

The corners of Yao Guangxiao's mouth lifted slightly into a confident smile, as though he had already seen that future unfold.

"His Majesty possesses extraordinary talent and grand ambition. He has already removed the blade that Northern Yuan held over Ming Dynasty's head. The next step will naturally be to conquer Northern Yuan completely."

"Beiping Prefecture guards the Great Wall and faces Northern Yuan directly to the north."

"This time, His Majesty will certainly mobilize the army. Your Highness will surely have an excellent chance to campaign at the Northern border."

"If Northern Yuan can truly be crushed, that achievement will surpass even the recovery of Liaodong." Yao Guangxiao's tone was solemn and weighty.

"If I truly command the army, I will certainly destroy Northern Yuan!"

A blazing light rose in Zhu Di's eyes. He, too, awaited the arrival of that day.
