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

Although there is indeed a correct answer, generally speaking, we will rule out this correct answer first, or we will be skeptical and unable to confirm it.

The entire Fengtian Hall inside and outside.

There was a solemn atmosphere everywhere.

"Forget it, forget it. Before this matter has a concrete conclusion, no one knows what the specific situation will be. Instead of wasting time and energy pondering it, it would be better to report early and go out of the palace to listen to the news!"

After all, they are all workers.

Now the company seems to be running unexpectedly well, and most people of course think that if it's doing well, they might as well be good employees.

And today, there is indeed something that touches people's hearts - the publication of newspapers.

In an era of extreme scarcity of entertainment, this was one of people's biggest pastimes after dinner, and it was also the reason why Zhu Yunhuan chose to confront him today.

……

Duke of Liang's Mansion.

As usual, many Huaixi nobles gathered at Lan Yu's mansion.

"The King of Qin and the King of Jin... neither of them is easy to deal with. Your Majesty actually brought them to the capital without anyone noticing. Isn't this... a bit too..."

Some people always feel that something is wrong, but they can't tell what is wrong.

At this moment, someone burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! Too what? There's nothing too too! No matter how Your Majesty accomplished this, it's a great thing for us!"

"This at least proves that what His Majesty said that night was true! He's really getting things done! By dethroning the King of Qin and the King of Jin, we've eliminated the two most powerful vassal kings who were watching closely from the frontiers. In other words, His Majesty's position is becoming increasingly stable!"

"Your Majesty's position is now secure, so aren't our benefits just around the corner? Your Majesty, isn't he truly thinking of fulfilling what we said in front of the late emperor's spirit tablet? Hahahahaha!"

"That's right! Our benefits are not far away!"

"..."

I have to say, this is indeed true.

This group of warriors may not understand anything else, but they have no problem calculating military strength, strengths and weaknesses, and victory or defeat.

This is also why Zhu Yunhuan was so bold as to directly reduce the power of the feudal lords, and even used this opportunity to further expand his actual military power both openly and secretly - that's right! My uncles and uncles, I am truly working hard for "our bright future"! What do you misunderstand?

At this point in the conversation, everyone seemed to be in a very good mood. The hall was filled with bursts of laughter and a happy atmosphere.

This incident even dispelled the hesitations of many people.

Zhang Wen, who habitually sat in the corner and silently participated in the meeting, shook his head, his heart becoming increasingly heavy.

"Too hasty, too impatient. He's too impatient to seize power and suppress potential threats. Originally, relying on us to intimidate the vassal kings, and using the vassal kings to intimidate us, was an excellent balance. Regardless of his purpose and intentions, at least it can maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty."

"If he can handle this vassal prince's rebellion peacefully, appropriately reducing the power of the princes but retaining a certain amount of power for us, the Huaixi nobles, that would be the best way to maintain balance."

"I'm afraid this peace will gradually begin to break down!"

"Most of these people are unruly and greedy. They were fine with the threat of the vassal king; at least they would have been cautious. Now that this balance has been disrupted, it's hard to guarantee they won't become arrogant..."

"I don't even know when... it started to threaten the imperial power..."

Think of this.

Zhang Wen picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, frowning involuntarily.

He had no choice but to mingle with the Huaixi nobles, but selfishly, he didn't want the Ming Dynasty, which had finally stabilized, to fall into chaos...

But he knew all these things clearly in his mind.

I am always weighing and planning in my mind.

Now suddenly there was an incident of treason by the princes, and the scheming young emperor directly took action to eliminate two such powerful princes. Zhang Wen could not stand it any longer.

I felt a little pessimistic for a moment.

……

"Without destruction, there is no construction."

"If we simply want to maintain balance, then of course it would be best to retain Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang's fiefdoms, and even the power they hold over the Imperial Guards."

"If I continue like this, I'll always be constrained... I'll never truly possess the power I hold, and I won't be able to freely do what I want in the future."

"Only by taking one step at a time can you truly grasp the fist in your hand."

"Power will truly fall into my hands."

"If we indulge in the peaceful status quo now, the balance will be disrupted in the future, and that will be our true self-destruction!"

In Zuihe Tower, Zhu Yunhuan also changed into an ordinary crescent-white uniform and came to the box where he usually stayed.

He tapped the table in front of him with his fingertips thoughtfully, thinking about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty in his mind, and secretly reassured himself in his heart.

Of course, he also considered what Zhang Wen had considered.

However, Zhu Yunhuan now has certain trump cards in his hand, and the Huaixi nobles can be kept stable for the time being. He just needs to wait until this winter is over, arrange the steelmaking and artillery matters, and then add these cards in his hand.

So what about the nobles in Huaixi?

Just as Zhu Yunhuan was lost in thought, secretly calculating in his mind.

Ma Sanbao, dressed in a servant's attire, pushed the door open and walked in: "Your Majesty, Commander Song has returned..."
