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

"Even if it's father...it would be difficult to turn this overturned ship around, right?" Zhu Di said somewhat unconfidently.

At this moment, the certainty that had always been in Monk Daoyan's eyes was no longer there.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "That depends on how much power Your Majesty still has and how much power he can mobilize."

"I think there is always a chance!"

"After all, he is the Hongwu Emperor! Even if the boat capsizes in the gutter, there are always a few boards left to float."

"The Duke of Song and the Duke of Ying mentioned in this intelligence report...they both followed Your Majesty all the way up. Duke Xin may have retired, but he's still in good health. And as for the princess's mother's family, Duke Xin and the King of Zhongshan are still sworn brothers with Your Majesty."

"Your Highness has also said that Xu Huizu, who has now inherited the Dukedom of Wei, has inherited a strict family motto that only respects orthodoxy. In other words, Your Majesty should be respected first..."

"Your Majesty still has so many sons in this world. As long as Your Majesty is here, some princes who are not ambitious and difficult for us to use do not mean that they cannot be used by Your Majesty."

"After all, it was Your Majesty who conquered the Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty can conquer it once, who says you can't conquer it a second time?"

Monk Daoyan rarely said so much at once.

Even he didn't realize that these words, perhaps meant to reassure Zhu Di, also seemed to be reassuring himself: "Those who want to accomplish great things must not rush into the present. Until the very end, no one knows who will have the final say."

You could say he was a monk, a man who was well versed in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, with great talent and wisdom, but you could also say to a certain extent...

He is a gambler.

He had placed his bets on Zhu Di ten years ago. Even at this critical juncture, he would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

It has come to this point.

Zhu Di was no longer the hesitant and cautious Zhu Di of the past. He was now filled with ambition. He nodded in agreement to what Monk Daoyan said: "Yes, Father is our biggest trump card!"

……

And at the same time.

In an inconspicuous three-story house in the city of Beiping.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the yard drinking tea, looking a little melancholy.

Since this time.

He had no mood to look at dancers and singers. On the one hand, he didn't want to reveal anything about Zhu Yunhuan in front of Zhu Di, and on the other hand... he had not yet gotten over his previous guilt.

For others.

Zhu Yunhuan was the emperor, and other than that, he was a completely unrelated person. After learning about his actions, he felt a little guilty, and then the matter was over.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang.

That was his own grandson! He was also Biao'er's son.

Not to mention that I had neglected and misunderstood him for more than ten years, I had even inadvertently cut off the child's opportunities to express himself and ask for help several times!

Zhu Yuanzhang was cruel to other people and other things.

But family affection has always been his weak point.

It was inevitable that he was always in a bad mood... Even though there was a nice sun today, he still felt a little cold under the sun.

Just as he was staring at the tea in his hand in a daze.

A familiar sound of footsteps approached hurriedly. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head casually and saw Lu Wei walking towards him in a hurry.

However, when Lu Wei saw the expression on his face, his expression froze unnaturally, and even his pace slowed down, appearing a little hesitant.

"Tell me, what news do we not want to hear?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a calm voice.

The two of them had been together day and night for several months. From Lu Wei's appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang had guessed that the news was not good.

Lu Wei walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang, scratching his head awkwardly. A look of embarrassment crossed his face. He pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Your Majesty... His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin... have rebelled." Although he knew Zhu Yuanzhang would not tolerate this, he still had to say what he had to say.

Zhu Yuanzhang was already mentally prepared.

But when I heard the news.

My hands couldn't help but lose strength, and even the teacup in my hands fell to the ground with a clang...

"The second and third brothers rebelled?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a daze.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. You...don't be too angry, or you will hurt yourself." Lu Wei advised.

"These two idiots! They are truly stupid as hell! Do they think they can do whatever they want just because they are the second or third in command? Do they really think they can sit on that throne in Fengtian Palace?"

"What's the situation now?" Zhu Yuanzhang even stood up and asked impatiently.

Lu Wei hesitated again.

Finally, he revealed the whole story: "Your Majesty, it didn't cause any major negative impact. After all, the rebellion was suppressed by His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture before it even started."

"The Qin and Jin palaces have already been ransacked. According to the time provided by the intelligence, they are almost at Yingtian Prefecture, or may have already reached it."

"However, His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture handled this matter very appropriately."

"The people of the Ming Dynasty have not been affected at all by this incident." Lu Wei always said nice things.
