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

This is the biggest problem and threat that will appear soon!

Considering the current situation in the Ming Dynasty court.

In fact, most people would subconsciously tie Zhu Yunhuan and Lan Yu and other members of the same party together and see them as a whole.

After all, Zhu Yunhuan's accession to the throne was based on their support.

In the past few months, the nobles of Huaixi have inexplicably "unconditionally" stood by the side of the current emperor, no matter whether he did good or bad things... anyway, they just blindly criticized him.

Although this seemed too outrageous and unbelievable, due to the close relationship between Zhu Yunhuan and this group of Huaixi nobles, almost everyone acquiesced and accepted this status quo.

But this was not the case for Zhu Yuanzhang.

He understood the insatiable greed of Lan Yu and his band of reckless soldiers, and he also knew how Zhu Yunhuan had managed to keep them stable—and this "stability" was definitely not sustainable!—They were all waiting for Zhu Yunhuan to fulfill his promises! Those promises...that he had made in front of his coffin, pointing at his tablet.

This matter is a double-edged sword.

It can indeed temporarily stabilize his position, the impeachment of officials, the dissatisfaction of the people, etc. But once it backfires, the consequences are unpredictable.

He has been emperor for so many years.

Zhu Yuanzhang was well aware of all this.

Otherwise, historically, he would not have killed so many people in his later years - it would be better to say that he had lost restraint and was killing madly, rather than that he was resolving all destabilizing factors.

Lu Wei had no idea that this was what Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about. After all, "Duke Liang and the others? The Duke of Kaiguo is the uncle of the current emperor, and Duke Liang is also the uncle of the current emperor. They can't wait to help the emperor."

Like most people.

He didn't know that much.

His perspective on things is not as profound and insightful as Zhu Yuanzhang's.

Over the past few months, he had witnessed how Lan Yu and his gang supported Zhu Yunhuan, and naturally felt strange.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say much. Besides, even if he trusted Lu Wei, he couldn't reveal such important information to him. He just narrowed his eyes and said, "This time, you write a letter to Jiang Li and ask him to pay more attention to the situation of Lan Yu and his group in the future and report to us. No matter what, you have to keep this pass for us."

Since I have already decided on Zhu Yunhuan in my heart.

Of course, he had to think and plan as much as possible to help his eldest grandson, who had the potential to be an emperor for all eternity.

Lu Wei raised an eyebrow. Of course, he still didn't understand. But he also saw the serious expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face. Naturally, he kept his confusion to himself and replied, "Yes, I will emphasize this matter with Commander Jiang."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, frowned slightly and continued to ponder:

"Fortunately, our eldest grandson has always been resolute. What he's been doing recently... intentionally or unintentionally expanding the size and influence of the Imperial Guard; using hunting as a pretext to approach the Minister of War, Ru Chang; and even using the rebellion of the second and third sons to intimidate Feng Sheng and Fu Youde... We can see that he's definitely on guard against this as well."

"But for our eldest grandson... this situation still seems a little inadequate. Lan Yu and his group are all very capable..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused.

Then he looked up at Lu Wei and instructed, "Also, tell Jiang Li to mention Li Jinglong to the little wolf cub in a subtle way whenever he gets the chance. Our eldest grandson probably has too much on his shoulders and is so busy that he can't think too much at once and has overlooked some useful people."

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, and he nodded with some complacency.

"Jinglong is a handsome and intelligent child. He can even speak volumes about military strategy. He currently controls one of the Five Military Commander-in-Chief Offices and has inherited his title of Duke of Cao..."

"This child isn't deeply connected to Lan Yu's group, but he has both influence and ability... Our eldest grandson is truly negligent. We need to remind him."

Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly planning for Zhu Yunhuan in his heart.

His relationship with Li Jinglong was the same as that between Lan Yu and Zhu Yunhuan. They were relatives and had to call each other nephews and grandsons.

Historically, Li Jinglong was also left to Zhu Yunwen by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now that I am thinking about it, I naturally take this into consideration.

"Our eldest grandson is smart and won't sit idly by. With the strength and influence he's secretly accumulated... plus Jinglong, plus the part of the Five Military Commandery that Jinglong controls, oh, we still have a backup!"

"The fourth brother is ambitious, we know that."

"But I guess, with Yingtian Prefecture's recent wave of operations, the fourth brother has also suffered a lot of setbacks. He is a measured and calm person. Now I guess he is just waiting for our action."

"We can only have a chance if we take him with us to fight against Yingtian Prefecture."

"When the time comes, we'll take him to Yingtian Prefecture to help our eldest grandson... He doesn't have the capital or standing to rebel, and certainly won't raise the flag on his own! Instead, he'll have to follow us and help the little wolf cub quell this chaos!"

"Even...if this momentum continues, I might even be able to legitimately give this position to the little wolf cub, and he won't have to worry about me anymore!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and suddenly felt his thoughts become clear and he felt refreshed. He was no longer so concerned about his previous worries.

After all, in his opinion, he had arranged everything.

And at the same time.

……

"A-choo! A-choo!" Someone yawned suddenly...
