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

"If this matter is promoted rashly, it will be detrimental to the Ming Dynasty."

"Unless there are fewer disasters in the Ming Dynasty, and fewer people die every year."

"Otherwise, there's no solution to this problem, and..."

"The people need to continue their family line and raise descendants. Unless everyone can live longer, even if they know and acknowledge the harm of this, they will never be willing to truly implement it..."

Zhu Su immediately understood the interests involved.

The elegant face suddenly turned pale and full of disappointment, no longer showing the spirit and enthusiasm just now.

Immediately.

He let out a long sigh.

He raised his head and looked at Zhu Yunhuan with great regret: "If there were fewer rice plantings in the Ming Dynasty and fewer civilians died, this is something that my father has been unable to achieve in the 25 years he has governed the Ming Dynasty. There are droughts and floods in the summer, and snow and frost in the winter... There are disasters that are beyond human control."

"Let everyone live longer, hehe..."

When it came to the second point, Zhu Su smiled bitterly and was too lazy to continue.

Not to mention ordinary people.

Even if the entire country's resources were used to search for the way to immortality, no emperor has ever been able to do it. Not to mention immortality, even prolonging life is impossible, which is even more of a fantasy.

Anyone with a discerning eye should know that life and death are predetermined.

This is the analysis and inference.

Zhu Su already understood that the article in his sleeve, the conclusions he had drawn from his day and night visits to the Nanzhili area, and the article he had compiled after staying up all night—all had been in vain!

"There is no solution, there is no solution to this problem..." Zhu Su sighed disappointedly.

Then, as if realizing something, a hint of anger appeared on his face, and he said, "No... You already knew this. You made me..."

Of course, this subconscious anger only lasted for a moment.

Then he shut up, swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, forced himself to suppress the anger on his face, and pursed his lips.

He wanted to get angry.

Of course he wanted to get angry.

Throwing such a topic at him this morning almost got him so excited that he almost died. He's been busy and working himself to death these days just to get a result as soon as possible. Now that he finally got the result, you tell me it was all in vain?

Who wouldn’t be angry?

But he really couldn't get angry.

Even though they were uncle and nephew, the emperor was the leader of his subjects. He was first a subject and then an uncle. The subject was committing an offense against his superior. The half sentence he had just said subconsciously was enough to give Zhu Yunhuan an excuse to reduce the power of the vassal state...

So now.

Zhu Su's face almost turned red with fear.

The anger in my heart gradually subsided, replaced by panic and fear, and a thousand alpaca horses galloping through my heart...

"It's over, it's over. I just couldn't hold it in."

"But since this guy already knew that even if this was proven, it would be impossible to implement, why did he ask me to do this? Why did he deliberately make me suffer?"

"Intentionally...yes! That little bastard did it on purpose!"

"The real purpose is revealed, the real purpose is revealed..."

"I thought he opened this hospital because he truly wanted to improve healthcare for all, and that he valued my character and talent! I was too early to trust him! Turns out this little bastard was waiting for me! I couldn't prevent him, despite all my precautions!"

"No... He's not a bastard at all! He's a wolf cub!"

"It's impossible to defend against this. Who the hell can defend against this? Now we have an excuse to weaken the vassal state."

"This wolf cub has such a dirty heart!!"

"..."

Zhu Su forced himself to remain calm on the surface, and even forced an ugly smile to try to ease the relationship between uncle and nephew. In his heart, he was already cursing Zhu Yunhuan a hundred times.

After a pause, Zhu Su immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I offended Your Majesty because I didn't control my mouth well!!!" There was no other way. He had already said half of the curse. He should apologize and see if he could make amends. His life was at stake.

However, what surprised Zhu Su was...

Zhu Yunhuan, who was behind the Dragon Book Case, did not get furious and immediately order people to strip him of his vassalage title.

Instead, he smiled a familiar smile. "Fifth Uncle, you're being polite again, aren't you? I've told you countless times that we're uncle and nephew, and who's right? Besides, you didn't say anything offensive just now, so how can you say you offended me?"

"Huh?" Zhu Su was momentarily bewildered. What was going on? Was this just a final polite exchange before the reduction of the feudal system? Wasn't it time to change his attitude after this?

But all he could hear was Zhu Yunhuan continuing calmly, "Fifth Uncle has been working hard these past few days, investigating and collating data."

"Since the article you wrote cannot be used for the time being, please leave it with me. It may not be needed now, but it will be useful in the future."

Zhu Su was even more confused.

"No... He won't weaken my clan with such a good opportunity?"

"Or are you plotting something again? Do you have a bigger plan?"

He pondered secretly in his mind and was confused for a moment.

A moment later, Zhu Yunhuan called him again: "Fifth Uncle?"

Zhu Su regained his composure and temporarily cleared his mind of all thoughts and ideas. Trying to maintain a calm and composed appearance, he bowed and said, "Since Your Majesty is interested in my article, I am naturally willing to present it to you."

After saying that, he took out the "thesis" he had worked on all night from his sleeve, took a few steps forward, and placed it respectfully on the dragon desk, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

Zhu Yunhuan picked up the "paper" casually and glanced at it.

There are not only texts on it, but also some data contents listed, which are well-reasoned and logical, and the font is elegant and delicate.

As expected, the kids raised by Lao Zhu are never too bad.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded with satisfaction: "Fifth uncle's article is very good. It will definitely be useful in the future. I will accept it for now."

Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, then acted very modestly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. This is your Majesty's instruction, and I will do my best to fulfill it."

I was grumbling in my heart: "No, why don't you play by the rules?"
