My subjects are too rebellious!

"You can understand it that way."

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun relaxed his grip on the dagger and let out a light breath.

She originally thought that His Majesty wanted her to go to the grassland to persuade them to surrender, but she never expected that His Majesty would condescend to explain to his subjects.

"Why is your majesty like this?"

Noticing that Xu Miaoyun's tense body relaxed a little, Qin Chuan began to tell her the original owner's sad past.

"You only know that you are the emperor of the world, and that you are clothed in fine clothes and fed with fine food, and that thousands of people are his subjects."

"But how could you know that my father died early due to a serious illness caused by years of fighting in the battlefields."

"My mother also hanged herself when she was besieged by the enemy."

"Later, my father went through hardships and established the Dawu Dynasty, creating this huge dynasty."

"But after my father passed away, I ascended the throne at the age of six."

"A six-year-old child, do you think you can really control this group of arrogant soldiers and those hypocritical officials?"

"So, Lu Zhi legitimately began to rule the country from behind the curtain as the queen mother, and I became a puppet."

"Later, because of my father's promise, I married Wu Zetian as my queen. I thought my wife would share the same hatred with me."

"As a result... As a result, Wu Zetian thought I was weak and incompetent and despised me in every way."

"After that, I became the plaything of the two women and even their puppet."

Speaking of this, Xu Miaoyun was somewhat moved.

She had never heard Zhu Di talk about these things.

Qin Chuan sorted out his thoughts and continued, "In the past seventeen years, I have been suffering every day. As I get older, I also want to rebel."

"But I have no power, and the ministers in the court have all taken sides, and no one supports me."

"Looking at those treacherous officials in power, I am more angry than anyone else, but what can I do?"

"So I can only secretly accumulate strength and wait for an opportunity."

"But do you know that, that night, the night I woke up after falling ill, several eunuchs actually wanted to kill me."

"I'm an emperor, but I was poisoned by a few eunuchs. If I die like this, how can I face my father?"

“So, I exploded.”

“Although my power is not yet strong enough to fight against those people, if I can’t die in silence, then I can only explode in silence.”

"The moment I hold power, that will be the end of those corrupt officials. I don't care how many corrupt officials and traitors I kill. I only know that my father once told me."

"I want to be an emperor who rules for the people and can make the people live a good life."

Qin Chuan said this, looking directly at Xu Miaoyun, and said word by word: "So, do you understand now?"

“This is the real me.”

After listening to Qin Chuan's story, Xu Miaoyun actually felt for a moment that her husband was an unforgivable sinner.

She herself was shocked by the thought.

"Your Majesty, I will remember your words and will tell you word for word."

Qin Chuan waved his hand and continued, "Tell Zhu Di to take care of the foreign tribes on the grassland and then turn around with his army."

"Send troops to defend Datong, Qingzhou, and Guangning."

Xu Miaoyun naturally knew whose territory that was. After thinking for a while, he asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Prince Yong'an?"

"He will definitely rebel, so if Zhu Di can capture Prince Yong'an, I will give him a great opportunity."

"What kind of opportunity is it?" Xu Miaoyun became curious and asked quickly.

"You just need to tell him that beyond the vast ocean, there are many lands larger than the Dawu Dynasty, and the people there still live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood."

"And I know the routes to those places. If Zhu Di can help me resist Prince Yong'an, then I will tell him the routes."

"He could go there with his army and his family and establish his own dynasty."

Xu Miaoyun was somewhat tempted. If this was true, then Zhu Di would not be charged with treason, and by killing the traitor Prince Yong'an, he would also be able to leave his name in history.

But she still had a question: "How can I trust the route your majesty said?"

Qin Chuan knew that she couldn't believe it so easily, so he handed her the simple map he had drawn.

"This is the route to the land over there. You only need to ask Zhu Di to send a few thousand soldiers to investigate and you will know whether I have deceived you."

"Besides, do you think I would use these things to deceive you?"

Looking at the route map in her hand, Xu Miaoyun was completely moved.

"Your Majesty, when can I leave?"

"at any time."

"The minister wishes to depart immediately."

"I'm sure."

Qin Chuan showed a confident smile, and Xu Miaoyun was in a trance at this moment looking at the young emperor's wanton appearance.

With the help of the halo behind him, Xu Miaoyun seemed to really see a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon behind Qin Chuan.

At this moment, she sincerely bowed down to Qin Chuan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"

Look at this legendary woman recorded by later generations, the woman that Zhu Di loved all his life.

After her death, Zhu Di decided not to appoint another empress. He wore white clothes for a year and stopped attending court for a year in mourning for Empress Xu.

On daily basis, he only held meetings and discussions at places like Xijiaomen.

Even after Empress Xu's death, her coffin remained in the Nanjing Imperial Palace for six full years.

Zhu Di even wrote in the enthronement edict: You helped me in difficult times and worked together to found the country. I ascended the throne with the help of yours. I follow the way of heaven and have no worries. Please work hard with me to preserve the mandate of heaven and rule over you above all the people!

Most of the emperors of the Zhu family loved and respected their queens. This may be the example set by their original families. Zhu and Queen Ma loved each other for their entire lives, and their descendants were influenced by this.

Of course, there are four other algorithms.

Qin Chuan just sighed at Zhu Di's luck, which seemed really good.

However, thinking about the three wives and concubines in his harem, it seems that his luck is not bad.

"Get up. I will have someone escort you and your family to the grassland until you reach Zhu Di's camp safely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Seeing the paleness on Xu Miaoyun's face being replaced by rosy color, Qin Chuan seemed to have thought of something.

"Eat more vegetables and fruits such as radish and cabbage."

"You should also eat more tofu and corn ribs, and try to eat less oily foods."

Xu Miaoyun was a little confused, but she had seen these things in books and they seemed to be a therapeutic food.

Looking at Xu Miaoyun's puzzled eyes, Qin Chuan did not intend to explain. After all, it was still early and there was nothing wrong with her body.

"Your Majesty, is there anything else you want me to say to you?"

Xu Miaoyun looked at Qin Chuan, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and asked.

Qin Chuan looked at Xu Miaoyun seriously, his voice full of majesty.

"Finally, I want to tell Zhu Di that I am not afraid of him. I do this only out of respect for him."

Seeing Xu Miaoyun's curious look, Qin Chuan said, "You don't need to tell him this. You just need to know it yourself."

"Just treat it as a little secret between you and me."

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun's ears turned red.

But Qin Chuan didn't notice her abnormality. He looked at the sky in the distance and spoke slowly.

"I just respect the Yongle Emperor. What a domineering name, what a domineering person he was."

"I never thought I would be able to meet him."

Xu Miaoyun was even more confused: "I don't understand, what does this have to do with my husband."

"The Yongle Emperor, also known as Zhu Di."

Xu Miaoyun was completely confused and didn't understand, but Qin Chuan didn't intend to explain anymore.

"Just treat these words as a joke from me. There is no need to tell Zhu Di. Just forget it."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After returning to the front yard, Qin Chuan laughed when he saw the three little guys kneeling on the ground, pinching their ears with their hands and looking aggrieved.
