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

Wang Zhong said, "Your Majesty, please return to the hall. Lunch should be delivered soon."

Although Zhu Yunhuan placed Zhu Yuanzhang under house arrest, he gave Zhu Yuanzhang great authority. As long as he asked for food or drink, the food and drink would be delivered to him.

Except that Zhu Yuanzhang could not leave and see other people, everything else remained the same.

"Plotting treason and seizing power through military coup, do you think it was his idea or Huaixi's idea?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked as he walked towards the hall.

Wang Zhong shook his head slightly, "I don't know, it may be your Highness's idea, because he has been sleeping on straw and eating bitter food for more than ten years. If he is not going to become the crown prince, why would he do this?

But it could also be Huaixi's idea, because since the liquidation of Duke Hanguo Li Shanchang and his men, they should have realized that His Majesty would not tolerate them.

Today's Han Guogong Li Shanchang is their tomorrow. If they do not rebel, they will end up being abandoned after all the birds are killed.

It is just an unsolvable ending for emperors and ministers in ancient and modern times. After all, they are too arrogant. If they all retired like Duke Xin, they might have a good ending.

Your Highness is the legitimate son of the former Crown Princess and the grandson of the King of Kaiping. It is tantamount to maximizing the interests of the entire Huaixi to support him to ascend to the throne, so I don’t know whose idea it was.”

Wang Zhong spoke calmly. He really couldn't figure out who was the mastermind behind this matter.

After all, each of them had motives to mutiny.

If it is said that Zhu Yunhuan slept on firewood and tasted gall for more than ten years, wasn't it just for this day?

If the Huaixi Group does not want to be liquidated, it cannot allow Zhu Yuanzhang to be in power again.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang killed people who deserved to be killed, he implicated too many innocent people. For example, in major cases like the Empty Seal Case, tens of thousands of people were implicated at one time.

Among these tens of thousands of people, is there really not a single innocent one?

Zhu Yunhuan left the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the arsenal has already manufactured the new cannon and it has passed the test firing. Now we invite you to go and inspect it." A eunuch came up and said.

Hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan smiled and said, "It passed the test firing? It seems that Qin Shou's ability is greater than I imagined. Let's set up the arsenal."

"As ordered, Your Highness, please set off!"

Accompanied by the eunuch's shouts, everyone walked towards the arsenal.

At the same time, an urgent imperial edict sent over a distance of 600 miles finally reached Fengyang. After Tang He retired, he lived out his retirement in Fengyang.

"The imperial edict has arrived. Duke Xin Tang He is here to receive it!"

The imperial procession conveying the imperial edict was huge and rushed to Fengyang on horseback. It can be said that there were twelve envoys every day, and they were on the road for ten hours.

It is to convey the imperial edict here as quickly as possible.

There were also countless Fengyang people gathered around to watch the fun. What imperial decree was this?

Tang He, who was spraying water on the flowers at home, didn't understand when he heard that the imperial edict had arrived. He felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. Could it be that even after he retired and returned to his hometown, Zhu Yuanzhang still wouldn't let him go?

But Tang He couldn't help but think more.

When someone notified him to receive the imperial edict, Tang He had already burned incense and bathed, opened the central door, and was waiting in the robes of a duke.

Now that the imperial edict had arrived, Tang He knelt down to receive it.

"Your Highness, Duke Tang He, has received your order."

Tang He was actually very nervous, not knowing whether this imperial edict was good or bad.

"The Crown Prince who inherited the Mandate of Heaven, hereby proclaims: I, in compliance with Heaven's order, hold the seal and ascend to the Fengtian Palace to supervise the state and act as regent. I know that the ancient sage kings who ruled the country all relied on wise ministers. Here is Duke Xin, Tang He, who is loyal and sincere, loyal to the emperor and the country. I hereby order him to return to the court, to supervise the Ministry of War, to be in charge of all military affairs, and to serve the country. I decree this."

There were no extra words in the imperial edict, and Tang He was confused after reading it.

"You...did you read it wrong? What is 'The Crown Prince's edict'?" Tang He was shocked and confused.

Even if a crown prince is appointed, the Crown Prince's Order can be issued, but it cannot be used in imperial edicts.

The eunuch delivering the imperial edict smiled and said, "How could this servant read the imperial edict wrongly? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the regent of the country, and all military and national affairs are decided by him. This imperial edict is naturally written by him. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince abolished the Five Cities Military Command and took all military power back to the Ministry of War. He specifically ordered you to return to take charge of the military power."
