Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

Feng Sheng never leaves any handle behind when doing things. He does things cleanly and efficiently without any worries. If he had not added this sentence, if Zhu Yuanzhang came to power again in the future, it would really be the end of the Huaixi Group.

"I guess this is also a merit of mine."

The Hanlin scholar cried and laughed.

When I saw this handwritten letter, I knew that I was already an accomplice of the Huaixi Group in the military remonstration.

Whether you are willing to do it or not, you are already an accomplice. Even if you don't do it, you will still be charged with the crime of knowing about the crime and not reporting it.

And they will also be alienated by the Huaixi Group.

There is no choice but to do it.

"Of course. To welcome His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson to the throne, we will certainly have to reward him." Feng Sheng's confidant nodded. Anyway, they could just draw the pie in the sky first.

What does it have to do with me if I go find Zhu Yunhuan to fulfill my promise?

The Hanlin scholar sighed, went to get a silk pen, and then began to write the imperial edict.

The emperor's edicts were usually written by scholars from the Hanlin Academy, but it was not certain who wrote them. The emperor could also write some important edicts himself.

He wrote an imperial edict in a very eloquent manner and in accordance with relevant specifications, appointing Zhu Yunhuan as the Crown Prince.

After writing it, he handed it to Feng Sheng's confidant.

"Look, there's a lot of stuff."

Feng Sheng's confidant took it and looked at it carefully under the candlelight. There could be no mistakes in this thing, so he looked at it carefully several times to make sure there was no problem.

Then he nodded and said, "Okay, come with me, we'll go get the national seal."

"I...I still want to go with you?" The Hanlin scholar was confused. You still want me to go with you now?

Feng Sheng's confidant smiled slightly, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. What if you leak the news after I leave? It's not that I don't trust you, but tonight's events cannot allow for any surprises."

Upon hearing this, the Hanlin scholar hung his head.

All the words turned into a sigh, and he left with Feng Sheng's confidant.

At this time in the East Palace.

Mrs. Lu was awakened and hurriedly came out wearing clothes.

Sure enough, I saw a group of soldiers outside the East Palace blocking the palace.

"Where are you soldiers from? How dare you surround the East Palace? Whose order is this? Are you planning a rebellion?"

Lu asked with a smile.

Zhou Dexing appeared in front of Mrs. Lu with a chuckle, "My Lady Concubine, I cannot bear the charge of rebellion."

This word "concubine" immediately made Lu feel annoyed.

Even though Lu had been promoted to the position of legal wife, she was not the original wife after all. Although she was to be called the Crown Princess, the Huaixi Group would use the term "concubine" to annoy her.

"Marquis Jiangxia? How dare you lead troops to blockade the Eastern Palace! Who gave you the power? You are plotting a rebellion!" Lu recognized the person in front of her.

Zhou Dexing smiled slightly, "No rebellion, this world belongs to the Zhu family! It will always be the Zhu family! After dawn, the country will not change, and the court will not change."

The only thing that changed was the person sitting on the dragon throne.

Zhou Dexing didn't say this.

Zhu Yunwen also walked out. Seeing the armed army outside, he swallowed and wondered what was going on.

"Mother...what happened?"

Zhu Yunwen didn't understand what was going on, but when the army was dispatched, it was definitely not a trivial matter.

Zhou Dexing looked at Zhu Yunwen and said, "You guys should eat and drink when you need to, and sleep when you need to. Don't worry, we are guarding the East Palace tonight, and no one can disturb you."

"Marquis Jiangxia, are you going to put us under house arrest? Do you have His Majesty's imperial edict? If not, I will go to His Majesty and sue you!" Mrs. Lu was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

In the 25 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Eastern Palace had never been surrounded by soldiers.

"Wait until you can see His Majesty."

After Zhou Dexing finished speaking, he turned around and left, continuing to patrol the entire outside of the East Palace to see if there was anything he had missed.

Because of the military rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang would never appear in public again. He would usually claim to be ill.

Even more cruelly... it's possible that he died suddenly of illness.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang must not die in a short period of time, otherwise it would be very strange for Zhu Yunhuan to come to the throne.

Zhu Yuanzhang died just after Zhu Yunhuan came to power. Who would believe that there is no trick?

However, compared to Zhu Yunwen who was trapped in the Eastern Palace, Zhu Yunhuan was very free.

Tonight, Chang Sheng brings Zhu Yunhuan to the palace on horseback!

This was a clear violation of rules. Civil officials had to get off their sedan chairs and military officials had to get off their horses at the palace gate.

Without special permission, you cannot ride a horse into the palace.

"Uncle, where are we going?" Zhu Yunhuan asked.

Chang Sheng smiled and said, "Fengtian Palace."

"Fengtian Palace?"

Zhu Yunhuan frowned. Why would he go to Fengtian Hall?

Shouldn't we go find Zhu Yuanzhang first and force him to write an abdication edict?

Ahem, that's right. What Zhu Yunhuan wanted was to use military remonstration to force Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate and become the emperor emeritus, once and for all. Although the system task was to be the crown prince, Zhu Yunhuan felt that being the emperor could save him a lot of trouble.

In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang was obsessed with power, and it was difficult to get him to abdicate! But military remonstration was enough to force Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate.

Letting Zhu Yuanzhang abdicate is to give him dignity.

If Zhu Yuanzhang is unwilling to be decent, then help him be decent.

"Yes, go to Fengtian Palace. After dawn, you will be the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the heir to the country." Chang Sheng nodded.

If Chang Sheng knew that Zhu Yunhuan was planning to force Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate, he would probably be frightened by his nephew's ambition.

We in the Huaixi Group helped you become the crown prince, and we mustered up our courage and risked the execution of our entire clan. Yet, you are not satisfied with the crown prince position and want to get it right away.

At this time, Feng Sheng's confidant took the Hanlin academician and went straight to the imperial study.

The imperial seal is usually placed in the imperial study and used for stamping.

It is guarded by patrolling imperial guards.

But now the imperial guards had been controlled, so Feng Sheng's cronies easily got the imperial seal.

"What are you looking at? Cover it up!"

Feng Sheng's confidant urged.

The hand of the Hanlin scholar holding the imperial seal was shaking. "If I stamp it, it will only be half effective. I'm a little panicked."

"Hurry up and build it! Is there any way back? Just make up your mind and build it. After you finish building it, we still have to go to the Shangbao Bureau."

Feng Sheng's confidant was speechless.

The imperial edict was not only stamped with the national seal, but also had to be stamped with one of the sixteen imperial seals made by the Ming emperors. Those imperial seals were usually kept by the Shangbao Bureau.

The sixteen imperial seals each have their own uses.

The Hanlin scholar took a deep breath and stamped the national seal on it.

Cover it securely.

Then, the six words "The Ming Dynasty's Mandate of Treasure" appeared on it.

Then the national seal was returned to its original place.

Feng Sheng's confidant picked up the imperial edict and laughed when he saw the imperial seal on it.

Half the battle is won.

"Let's go quickly." said the Hanlin scholar.

It's so fucking exciting to come to the Imperial Study to steal the imperial seal and stamp it on the imperial edict.

"Let's go to the Shangbao Bureau."

Feng Sheng's confidant took the Hanlin academician and went straight to the Shangbao Bureau to continue stamping the jade seal.
