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

"Will he willingly hand over the power in his hands to others?"

Zhu Di and Qiu Fu both shook their heads: "No!"

Monk Daoyan's eyes darkened and he said, "That's right! Furthermore, Your Majesty kills nobles, corrupt officials, and court officials who have made mistakes without blinking an eye, but it is undeniable that Your Majesty is thinking of the people of the world."

In response, Zhu Di and Qiu Fu both nodded in agreement.

Those cruel and brutal means were used for the sake of power, and also for the sake of the clean governance of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di said, "That's why my father couldn't possibly choose Zhu Yunhuan, that tyrant emperor, and certainly couldn't watch the Huaixi nobles rely on this puppet to gain power and oppress the people."

His mind was originally very confused. After all, a living father suddenly appeared in the city of Beiping under his rule, and this living father was arrested by his own people, which exposed his intentions to a certain extent.

As I gradually calmed down, I naturally figured it out immediately.

Monk Daoyan nodded and continued, "The rising power of the Huaixi nobles is a disaster for the people of the world, let alone such an ignorant and incompetent ruler. For him, things like growing flowers and making porcelain are just trivial matters."

"Zhu Yunhuan, in pursuit of the Industry Department's ingenious products, even robbed the people of Yingtian Prefecture of their winter sustenance. He spent vast sums of money on building brick furnaces, pouring money into digging and transporting unusable coal."

"Every incident is a sign of the country's demise and the ruler's tyranny!"

"Your Majesty, can you tolerate this? To put it bluntly, you can call him a tyrant, but you can't deny that he's also a good emperor. In previous years, Your Majesty spent every penny of the treasury's silver in half."

Monk Daoyan followed the story all the way to this point and couldn't help but raise his slightly drooping inverted triangle eyes. His gaze became brighter and brighter, and even the corners of his mouth showed an imperceptible curve.

This matter was strange, bizarre and complicated. He had not been able to figure it out completely before, and was just thinking about it in his mind. Now, with the questioning of Zhu Di and Qiu Fu, he had a clearer mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the initiative.

Then the availability of this chess piece reached 80% to 90%! Even Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to take the initiative to use him - the other party came to Peking under a forced and unavoidable situation - this in itself released a lot of information.

After Monk Daoyan’s reminder.

Zhu Di finally understood this, and the bewilderment in his eyes immediately vanished. His heroic eyes shone with a faint brilliance, and they were filled with excitement: "Father, he has his eye on this prince!!"

Under this circumstance.

Coming to him, isn't that asking for help from him?

For a moment, Zhu Di's face flushed slightly red, and thousands of thoughts popped up in his mind:

"How could my father tolerate a tyrant like Zhu Yunhuan and arrogant generals like the Huaixi nobles who lost their control? How could he tolerate the Ming Dynasty, which he had built and defended, being ruined by a brat like Zhu Yunhuan?"

"Since we want to deal with the tyrant ruler and corrupt officials of Yingtian Prefecture..."

"I will certainly be able to seize the world's power and righteousness through this, recruit troops and horses, and win over the loyal old generals and ministers in the court. In this situation, what will Lan Yu do? What will the nobles of Huaixi do?"

"Breaking through the city gates and taking Yingtian Prefecture is just around the corner!"

"This time, I have the advantage!"

"Furthermore, my father came to me in this critical moment, not to anyone else. How could I not have the opportunity to reach that position legitimately?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhu Di's mind, and his face turned redder with excitement.

He wanted that position... He had wanted it from the very beginning, but the moral shackles - Zhu Yuanzhang's "Imperial Ming Ancestor Instructions", his elder brother Zhu Biao standing in front of him, the righteous cause, etc. - forced him to suppress himself under the pretext of righteousness.

Even if he had already made up his mind to seize the throne.

There are always some concerns in my heart.

Now, there is no need to worry about these moral shackles anymore. Zhu Di naturally felt relaxed both physically and mentally, as if even the red charcoal in the room had become a little warmer.

Seeing Zhu Di's expression.

Monk Daoyan couldn't help but smile, nodded and said: "Your Highness has always been quick to understand things, but..." He seemed to have suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but stopped halfway through.

Nothing else, just because he was considering the next step at this level.

This brings me to another question: Is it better for Zhu Yuanzhang, the chess piece, to die or live?

This idea was turning over in his mind, but now was obviously not the right time to bring it up. Asking his own son to consider whether to kill his own father, morality, human relations... were all difficult. Besides, it was not yet the time for His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to make a decision, so Monk Daoyan did not say it in the end.

"But what?" Zhu Di asked curiously.

Monk Daoyan smiled faintly and shook his head. "It's nothing. Although the general situation is now on the side of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, there are still many mysteries surrounding His Majesty's death and resurrection in Peking."

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan wants to use Your Majesty's presence to accomplish something, so solving these mysteries is naturally the best option. This will also help us better deal with the situation in Yingtian Prefecture. Perhaps... there will even be news about the person behind the Huaixi nobles!"

“Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.”

"Now that we've done this, we must use the most reliable method to help His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan ascend to that position!" Monk Daoyan stroked his beard and raised his eyebrows, as if he had everything under control...
