"No one can say how long the current situation can be stabilized."

"You've been trapped in the Eastern Palace for a long time, so you might not know these old guys that well. They're truly arrogant, reckless, and rogue... Often, they don't follow any rational principles at all."

"If someone starts this gust of wind, it will definitely cause a big wildfire."

"Zhang Wen has calmed my uncle down, but that can only delay the matter. I've come to the palace discreetly to tell you this. My biggest motivation is to help Your Majesty prepare mentally. Of course, nothing can be rushed, but... aren't you being too nonchalant?"

Chang Sheng's face turned slightly red, and he became more and more anxious as he spoke. He hurriedly analyzed the situation to Zhu Yunhuan.

His identity and situation have always been somewhat awkward.

In his heart, of course, he hoped that his little nephew would be fine, but on the surface, he was tied to the Huaixi nobles. In such a situation, he went to great lengths to come to the Qianqing Palace. It was obvious that he was really anxious.

But he soon discovered.

No matter how he pleaded the pros and cons, the little nephew sitting behind the dragon desk always had a calm expression on his face. Apart from some reaction when he first heard about this, there was no trace of sadness or joy on his face at this moment.

He tapped the table lightly with the fingertips of his right hand, his eyes looked quite deep and distant, and no one knew what was going on in his head.

Chang Sheng took a deep breath.

Paused.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke in disbelief, "Could it be that... Your Majesty is really going to fulfill what he said before?"

The unrest among the Huaixi nobles was a major event. Chang Sheng felt that unless his nephew truly gave up on opposing the matter, he simply couldn't remain so calm! These veteran generals, veterans of the founding of the nation with distinguished military achievements, and commanders still vigorous despite countless battles, held immense influence within the military. Besides the late emperor, who could possibly control them? Who could possibly control them?

Thinking of this, Chang Sheng became even more anxious.

At this moment, he even forgot about the relationship between the ruler and the minister, and immediately began to persuade him earnestly: "No! This really can't be done like this!"

"You have suffered so much in the Eastern Palace, and finally got this opportunity to succeed to the throne and sit on the highest seat of the Fengtian Palace. You have the opportunity to become the Prince of Taiping and take over the burdens of the late emperor and your father."

"Now that you've finally stabilized and gained the hearts and minds of the people, are you really going to let it all go to waste? This will only sow the seeds of crisis and disaster for the future!"

Chang Sheng folded his hands together, and slapped the back of his right hand with the palm of his left hand in anger, with even a hint of disappointment in his tone.

His title of "Founding Duke" was certainly due to the protection of Chang Yuchun.

But before Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang sent him to various places to train troops, and even allowed him to accompany his brother-in-law Zhu Biao, the crown prince, to inspect Shaanxi and other places in the 24th year of Hongwu. It was obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he would become Zhu Biao's right-hand man and trusted minister in the future. His ability and political awareness were not particularly outstanding, but they were not bad either.

Naturally, he also saw through the ins and outs of it: tolerating the Huaixi nobles was a wrong path! Otherwise, his nephew would not be able to remain emperor for long!

That's why he had to enter the palace.

So he couldn't help but be excited now.

Seeing Chang Sheng's red and white face, Zhu Yunhuan's heart couldn't help but move slightly, and he came back to his senses from his thoughts.

He slowly spoke, "I understand my uncle's intentions. Just letting them do whatever they want... I've never thought of that before. Forget the previous Yuan Dynasty's mistakes, let's just talk about the present."

"If I really allow them to treat the entire Ming Dynasty as their private property that can be seized at will, the Ming Dynasty will not last long. Some people in the court with ulterior motives, including my uncles, will seize this opportunity to make my life uncomfortable."
