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

He was very sure that Feng Sheng was pretending to be ignorant.

Since there was no one else around, he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "I don't believe you were completely convinced by the new emperor right from the start. Didn't you ever consider the opinions and comments about His Majesty from both inside and outside the court? Didn't you have any doubts or hesitations?"

"Besides, the Prince of Jin and I are in-laws, while you, Old Feng, and His Highness the Prince of Zhou are father-in-law and son-in-law! Given the deep thoughts of the new emperor, how could he trust you so much? How come you suddenly seem to have become his confidant? And even allow him to use you as a last resort?"

The bond between the two was forged amidst the brutal fighting of swords on the battlefield.

You won't have to worry so much when you speak.

Besides, Fu Youwen is really curious now.

Feng Sheng turned around, raised his hand and pointed at Fu Youde several times, then said helplessly: "You... Old Fu... How can I say hello to you when you speak? These words are not to be said casually!"

Fu Youde was not nervous when he heard this.

He grinned and said, "I have to beat around the bush when talking to other people, but I don't need to do that with you. Let's get started."

As he said this, he sat down directly.

He looked like he was listening attentively.

Feng Sheng stopped beating around the bush and sighed with regret, "Your Majesty's thoughts are unfathomable... Although he's thousands of miles away in the capital, he's already made plans to control everything!"

Hear this.

Fu Youde seemed to have found a resonance in an instant, and nodded in agreement: "Unfathomable! It is unfathomable! The prince's rebellion is a huge matter, and he actually took the opportunity to test me..."

Feng Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "To be honest, when I suddenly received this imperial edict from His Majesty, I was really stunned. I haven't heard any news about rebellion in Shanxi. How could the new emperor in Yingtian Prefecture issue an order to suppress the rebellion?"

"Not only am I confused, I'm also baffled. As you said, His Royal Highness Prince Zhou and I are still father-in-law and son-in-law. It's really strange that His Majesty would give me an imperial edict."

"It was only sent along with the imperial edict, along with the handwritten letter from His Royal Highness Prince Zhou."

"What I never expected was that His Royal Highness Prince Zhou was summoned to Yingtian Prefecture by His Majesty. To outsiders like us, that was house arrest, but His Royal Highness Prince Zhou praised our new emperor highly, telling me not to hesitate at all."

"Even His Majesty King Zhou was impressed by the new emperor and said so."

"Do you think I can still stir up any trouble? Besides, His Royal Highness Prince Zhou certainly wouldn't harm me, right? So, of course, I can't have any other doubts in my heart."

Feng Sheng answered all of Fu Youde's questions in detail.

Fu Youde couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in disbelief: "His Royal Highness Prince Zhou is not under house arrest?"

Feng Sheng nodded. "I can see that His Royal Highness Prince Zhou's letter is filled with praise and compliments. It was definitely not written under duress."

"Now it seems……"

"Your Majesty may have anticipated the many doubts and thoughts in your and my mind, and arranged everything directly. His mind is so deep and meticulous... It's simply terrifying!" Feng Sheng sighed and couldn't help but sigh.

For a moment, the central military tent fell silent.

After a while.

Fu Youde then burst into laughter: "Hahahahahahaha! Having a Majesty like this... is actually a good thing!"

"You've forgotten that before His Majesty passed away, you and I were both quite apprehensive. Considering my distinguished contributions and our sensitive relationships—one of us is related to the Prince of Jin, the other is the father-in-law of His Majesty the Prince of Zhou—given the late Emperor's temperament, there's no telling when he'd turn on us for that one. The late Emperor's style... sigh..."

Speaking of Zhu Yuanzhang, Fu Youde couldn't help but sigh.

Then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

It was not the first or second time that Zhu Yuanzhang took action against his meritorious officials. They all knew this in their hearts, but because of the reputation of Emperor Hongwu, even if they knew that he might take action against them in the future, they would not dare to have any thoughts about it.

In fact, their previous concerns were not wrong at all.

Historically, both of them were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang on pretexts, one in the 27th year of Hongwu and the other in the 28th year of Hongwu. The original sin was of course because of their relationship with the King of Jin and the King of Zhou. It was done in order to clear the obstacles for Zhu Yunwen to sit firmly on the throne.

Hearing Fu Youde's words.

Feng Sheng immediately nodded in agreement, feeling relieved, and said, "Yes... Now that we've gone through this, at least we've regained the trust of the new emperor. Now that I think about it, there's a ray of hope."

Fu Youde took a deep breath after realizing it belatedly and said, "Actually, you're not that bad. His Royal Highness Prince Zhou is at least solely focused on studying medicine. If someone like me had been in the previous emperor's place, I'm afraid there would have been a hundred ways for me to have died."

"However, our new emperor is truly admirable! He quelled the rebellion of the vassal kings and won our hearts. This was a deliberate plan, and an overt one! Even the previous emperor couldn't come up with this kind of thinking and planning. I never thought that a child of only fourteen or fifteen years old could have such energy and ability to accomplish all this!"

Feng Sheng also nodded generously and said, "With this new emperor, the Ming Dynasty will surely prosper in the future!"
