"Emperor Taizu?"

After listening to Zhu Yunwen's introduction, the officials were immediately in an uproar, with some fear and some awe, but most of them were still in disbelief.

A person who had been buried suddenly jumped out and became younger. How could they believe that they were not three-year-olds!

They couldn't help but wonder if Lao Zhu on the dragon throne was the guy Zhu Yunwen brought to calm things down. After all, the situation was turbulent now, and Zhu Yunwen and Jianwen would definitely not be able to suppress it. Only Emperor Taizu could turn the tide.

However, they soon overturned this speculation. Zhu Yunwen found a fake Emperor Taizu to use Emperor Taizu's remaining power to frighten the world. Although this was a bit absurd, it was not incomprehensible. But he also found someone who looked like King Yan Zhu Di.

What are the men who look so much like each other doing?

Questions, questions, questions, are all the questions in the minds of the ministers now?

"Prince Yiwen!"

Geng Bingwen, Xu Huizu, and Li Jinglong looked at Lao Zhu and his party. They didn't recognize any of the emperors of the Zhu family after Zhu Di, but they recognized Zhu Biao at a glance.

Zhu Biao in the Hongwu world is still a little immature in his youth. However, Geng Bingwen, Xu Huizu, and Li Jinglong were all former subordinate officials of the Prince's Mansion. They are extremely familiar with Zhu Biao and will never be mistaken.

Now they were even more confused. Emperor Taizu, Prince Yiwen, and King Yan Zhu Di were all in a mess. They could no longer distinguish between true and false.

"Why, you all suspect that we are fake."

Lao Zhu opened his mouth and glanced at the ministers with majestic eyes, which made the ministers feel their scalps numb involuntarily.

Most of the officials of the Jianwen Dynasty were left over from Hongwu. Their fear of Zhu Yuanzhang was definitely deep in their bones. Throughout the ages, Lao Zhu was the emperor who was the most ruthless towards corrupt officials. They were subjected to tortures such as skinning, pulling grass, and having their intestines removed.

They have seen it with their own eyes, and the horror that can make life worse than death is something they will never forget.

The ministers were silent, they began to believe that this Emperor Taizu was real, and it could make them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. Apart from Emperor Hongwu, there would be no one else.

But they still couldn't figure out why Lao Zhu looked like an upright and mature man. They had all seen the white-haired, skinny and old Emperor Hongwu when he was buried.

You can't just resurrect from the dead and revert back to your youth!

"We also know that our sudden appearance makes you a little unbelievable, but this is the fact. I am Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is true that we are fake."

"We didn't die at all back then, but we faked our death to escape and followed an old immortal into the mountains to practice Taoism. However, we never thought that the Ming Dynasty would be so corrupted that we would have to go out again and rebuild the mountains and rivers."

"You may be wondering why we look like this. That's because I got the fate of immortality and rejuvenated my youth. It's the same as me, and we have our own standards."

Lao Zhu tried his best to deceive people. The origins of their group could not be explained, so they used the names of immortals and gods. Anyway, immortals, demons and gods used to deceive people, and they always had no disadvantage.

Liu Bang killed the White Snake and revolted, Genghis Khan's destiny came to the desert, and now he is just using the name of an immortal to find a reason for his reappearance.

"Sir, tell me, is this really His Majesty Hongwu, or..."

Xu Huizu leaned into Geng Bingwen's ear and asked in a low voice. He felt that Geng Bingwen had followed Zhu Yuanzhang for the longest time and should be able to identify whether the person on the dragon throne was real or fake.

"The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real!"

Geng Bingwen said mysteriously that he didn't believe even half of the punctuation marks in Lao Zhu's deception. For a veteran like him, when it comes to immortals, demons and gods, the theory of yin and yang prophecies has always been just a fart.

But as for Lao Zhu on the dragon throne, he was eighty percent certain that it was undoubtedly his superior Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, but he still couldn't figure out why Lao Zhu suddenly became younger. The Yi who was suspected to be dead

Is Prince Wen’s young man Zhu Biao?

"Geng Bingwen, you are our old brother. Do you think we are true or false?"

Lao Zhu set his sights on Geng Bingwen. If he wanted to prove his identity, he had to be the veteran Geng Bingwen.

"My lord, may I ask your Majesty a few questions?"

It doesn’t matter whether Lao Zhu got immortal fate, faked his death to escape, or came back from the dead. What is important is to prove whether this is the real Emperor Hongwu. And to prove this, it is not difficult. Several

Questions that are not too difficult are enough!

"explain!"

Lao Zhu said readily that he knew that as long as he passed the test of Geng Bingwen, no one would doubt his identity, and it would be much easier for him to support Zhu Biao to ascend to power.

"Old minister..."

Geng Bingwen asked a few small questions that only he and Zhu Yuanzhang knew, and Lao Zhu answered them fluently without any flaws.

"Really on top!"

Geng Bingwen finally confirmed the identity of Lao Zhu. Although the questions he asked were simple, they were about the bad things they caused when they were fighting together. Only a few people knew about it, such as Xu Da, Tang He, and Chang Yuchun.

When the others were already dead, Lao Zhu who could answer the question was undoubtedly Emperor Hongwu.

Identities can be faked, looks can be similar, behavior can be learned, temperament can be imitated, but experiences cannot be faked, let alone imitated.

"Old minister Geng Bingwen is here to see your Majesty."

Geng Bingwen respectfully paid homage to his superior, and then asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, how do you look?"

He was still puzzled by Lao Zhu's appearance. Throughout history, he had never encountered such a situation. He was resurrected from the dead and rejuvenated. Could it be that he really met an immortal fate?

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't believe in immortality. If there really was immortality in the world, wouldn't it be true that emperors such as the First Emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty would have lived forever and become immortals? But it seemed that the only thing in front of him was

The word "Xianyuan" can explain it.

"Have I already told you, we met an old immortal. When Biao'er died, an old immortal came to us and said that our Biao'er's life was not short-lived. We just needed to take him up the mountain to recuperate.

Recovery, you see, our mark is not still alive and well, he is younger than us."

"You have grown up watching Biao'er, so you shouldn't admit your mistake!"

"Later on, when we got old, we began to think about retiring. After passing the throne to Zhu Yunwen, we faked death and went to the mountains to practice Taoism. However, the world was in turmoil and the Ming Dynasty was in danger, so we had to leave the mountains again."

As expected of Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu was quick to tell lies, and he was forced to tell a story that was confusing and mysterious, with twists and turns.

His story was very bad and illogical, and there were many flaws in it, but Geng Bingwen still chose to believe it, because apart from Lao Zhu's so-called immortal fate, he really couldn't explain why Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were still alive.

"I see!"

Geng Bingwen immediately saluted Zhu Biao: "Old minister, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Although this Zhu Biao still looked very young, far less mature and capable than he thought, he did not dare to ask more questions, thinking that this was the price of Zhu Biao's resurrection from the dead!

He understands how much Lao Zhu loves Zhu Biao. Once he asks something he shouldn't ask, he may not be able to save his head.

He didn't say what he shouldn't say, he didn't touch things he shouldn't touch, he didn't ask what he shouldn't ask, and he never reached out to things he shouldn't have. This was the fundamental reason why he was able to survive Zhu Yuanzhang's purge.
