Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"How much skills and abilities does Your Majesty have...it's really hard to figure out!" Fu Youwen was a little shocked and sighed.

Zhan Hui and Yuan Tai couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement with Fu Youwen's evaluation of Xia Yuanji. "Master Fu, I now accept your words!"

Instead, Xia Yuanji felt a little embarrassed by the gazes of the three people.

He scratched his head and said honestly, "You three are too kind. I have always lived among the common people and have seen a lot. I am truly lucky and fortunate to have received Your Majesty's kindness. I have done nothing for you, and I am uneasy about being honored with such a high position as a result of such an exception."

This answer was sincere and genuine, without being humble or arrogant.

It was even more impressive at the time.

Xia Yuanji's words seemed to remind Zhan Hui of something. He looked at Xia Yuanji, his lower eyelids trembling slightly, and then a look of joy appeared on his face. He said, "Master Xia is among the common people and is good at observation and reflection. That's why he has such an unexpected insight and guessed Your Majesty's thoughts. But...what about Your Majesty?"

When he asked this question, Fu Youwen, Yuan Tai and Xia Yuanji were all slightly stunned.

He immediately understood what Zhan Hui meant.

There was an expression of amazement on their faces.

He sighed, "Your Majesty... is capable of strategizing and controlling people's hearts, and he also... is incredibly perceptive of his subordinates! Otherwise, how could he have come up with such a subtle solution?"

Several people exchanged knowing glances.

The respect on his face grew more intense.

"He first lived in the Eastern Palace, and now he's the ruler of a country... To be able to see this level and make such calculations is rare, truly rare! This requires far-sighted wisdom and vision!"

At least these people who could be called the "Emperor's Think Tank" could only be like ants on a hot pan, anxious and running around in circles when faced with such a dead end.

Even...

Your Majesty has already quietly spread a large net, and they are still unaware of it.

I can't even see through it.

Not to mention laying such a big net?

At the end of his speech, Fu Youwen's mind flashed with the image of the young man who sometimes looked unruly and sometimes had a heart so dark that it sent chills down their spines. He felt that he no longer knew how to describe him in words. After pondering for a moment, he could only utter the simplest words: "Your Majesty... he is truly amazing!"

The others were also unable to keep calm and nodded in agreement.

Yuan Tai, in particular, knew far less about the truth than Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen, the two people Zhu Yunhuan had approached from the start. His shock was ten times greater than theirs – the emperor, whom he had constantly implicated and remonstrated with, secretly had such good intentions!?

Following the sweet potato that just shocked me.

Yuan Tai once again felt his worldview collapse—so the clown was actually me! !?

Think of this.

Yuan Tai felt extremely guilty. He frowned, sighed deeply, and drooped his head. "I really deserve to die! As the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, I can't see anything clearly, I can't think clearly, I haven't done anything good, and I've always wronged your Majesty's good intentions! I've earned the late emperor's trust!"

"Damn it! Damn it!" As he said this, Yuan Tai swung his hand directly, and a slap as big as a palm fan was about to hit himself in the face, with no intention of holding back at all.

When he advised Zhu Yunhuan, he was sincere.

The regret at this moment is the same.

Especially as a person who has made the words "loyalty to the emperor" a stamp of thought and implemented them thoroughly, this makes him unable to forgive himself.

Fortunately, Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen stopped him immediately: "Hey hey hey! Stop it! Master Yuan, what are you doing?"

Even with two people pulling, Yuan Tai still seemed unable to hold it back.

Wu Zi struggled to break free from Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen: "I have contradicted the emperor several times, I am guilty! I, Yuan Tai, am guilty!"

Zhan Hui reminded him, "Guilty or not, His Majesty will decide for you later! Your Majesty, you've put yourself in this situation and ruined your reputation. At least there's no one around now. What would others think if they saw you like this?"

"Until your majesty's grand plan is accomplished, even if you want to slap yourself or apologize, you must hold it in! Otherwise, if others see the clues here, wouldn't it be a waste of your majesty's painstaking efforts?"

Yuan Tai is not someone who refuses to listen, and Zhan Hui is his immediate superior.

Zhan Hui's words were indeed well-founded, so Yuan Tai finally stopped struggling. His face was filled with regret, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Zhan is right! I was impulsive! When Your Majesty succeeds, I will go and apologize to Your Majesty!"

Fu Youwen said with a smile: "That's right!"

"Your Majesty first provided cheap cloth and anthracite to help the people survive the winter, and now you've even created something as auspicious as sweet potatoes... The whole nation will be united. It's only a matter of time, isn't it?"

"On the other hand, we just need to hold back those reckless men."

"If this continues, five years... no! Three years from now, who will the people and the soldiers truly believe in? That's when the truth will be revealed!"

After saying that, Fu Youwen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge rock had been pushed off his shoulders and a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Before, he, Zhan Hui, and Liu Sanwu... although they each had different positions and pursuits, the matter of Huai Xipiegui was always a huge stone weighing on them.

nowadays.

They knew that they had a peaceful and effective way to deal with this group of Huaixi nobles.

Then there will be no threat of instability, turmoil or chaos to your Majesty's throne and the Ming Dynasty.

And such a stable and undisturbed Ming Dynasty... has the current Emperor Kaiqian!

At that time, the mountains and rivers were safe and sound, and everything was great!

"That's right! Your Majesty just said that today is an auspicious sign. Not only can the sweet potatoes in the ground be used as seeds, but even the densely packed stems and leaves on them can also be used as seeds to expand planting and cultivation! The popularity of sweet potatoes will spread quickly! It won't take five years, three years will be enough! Hahaha!" Zhan Hui felt particularly relaxed and echoed.

When several people thought about this in advance, they couldn't help but show relaxed and happy expressions on their faces.

But they don't know it.

If Zhu Yunhuan heard what I said, I'm afraid he would not be able to help but complain: What a damn bad luck!

It takes five or three years to deal with a bunch of reckless people?

What are you thinking? Isn't this a complete waste of time? If this is the case, will he still be the captain of the Ming Dynasty?

The so-called cheap cloth, anthracite, sweet potatoes, etc. that they mentioned were just Zhu Yunhuan following his established plan step by step, starting from many aspects, to lay a solid foundation as quickly as possible and enhance the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the support of the people and the military that he gained... was a by-product that met his needs.

But this solves the problem...

too slow.

From the very beginning, it was not even within Zhu Yunhuan's consideration.

The real trump card is clearly in the Alchemy Department that they are criticizing! Time is also approaching, Zhu Yunhuan will not wait for five or three years.

of course.

This was Zhu Yunhuan's top secret. Of course, Zhan Hui, Fu Youwen, Yuan Tai, and Xia Yuanji knew nothing at that time. Now they felt that they had guessed Zhu Yunhuan's thoughts, arrangements, and plans, and they were still a little complacent!

"Although you and I have fortunately guessed His Majesty's thoughts today...but you and I must remember that what we said today...must not be shared with anyone else!"
