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

Zhang Yi and Cao Xing had made their words so clear, so Zhu Shou naturally understood what they meant even if he had a long reaction time.

He stared in disbelief, "This... but... His Majesty swore those words with all his heart, pointing at the late emperor's spirit tablet. How could he, a ruler of a country with such a dignified appearance, speak nonsense so solemnly?"

He subconsciously recalled the scene at that time, and that face appeared in his mind, smiling and gentle as jade, calling them "Uncle" one by one...

Doesn't he look like the kind of treacherous person who lies without blinking?

Zhu Yunhuan was able to fool this group of people. One reason was that he took advantage of the limitations of people of that era's consciousness and thinking towards idealism and superstition, and the other was his harmless face.

Although he had a lot of bad intentions, it had to be said that his appearance was still very deceptive, so much so that...even though they had doubts about Zhu Yunhuan's actions during this period and were eager to try, Zhu Shou and other Huaixi nobles were still more willing to believe in Zhu Yunhuan and those promises in their hearts.

That is why, when they thought of this, they felt extremely uneasy.

Compared to Zhu Shou, Zhang Yi and Cao Xing were relatively sober. They exchanged glances and said with slightly narrowed eyes, "Zhu Shou, since you said so, why don't you analyze it for us? Why is he punishing the corrupt officials so severely at this time? It's almost the New Year. Even if he wants to check the accounts, he has to wait until after the New Year, right?"

These words choked Zhu Shou, leaving him speechless for a moment.

He knew it, but he couldn't explain it.

They probably have to face reality...

After a brief silence, Zhang Yi lost the mood to continue playing. He slammed the dice cup onto the table with a thud. He put the banknotes, treasure notes, and silver coins in front of him into his pockets and said unhappily, "Don't hesitate or worry about it. We should think about what this means and how we should respond next!"

Cao Xing also quickly packed up his belongings.

His face was filled with ruthless and dissatisfied anger. He raised his hand and smashed the porcelain cup on the table to the ground. With a clang, it turned into porcelain shards on the ground. At the same time, he shouted angrily: "Warning us!? What right does he have?! Has he forgotten how he got to that position?"

Brave! Reckless!

These are the nobles of Huaixi, these are the arrogant and brave generals.

They all followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world. Among those who have survived the battles and fights, there are very few cowards. They all have a bandit spirit that fears nothing.

How could they have such a deep respect for the imperial power? Otherwise, they would not have dared to be so blatant and aggressive these past few days, and make such a probing move towards Zhu Yunhuan.

In addition, it was they who actually helped Zhu Yunhuan to ascend to the throne this time.

They usually appear friendly and respectful.

But if they really come into confrontation... they obviously won't have the slightest good temper. They will get angry when they should, and speak out when they should.

"There is only one person in this world who can warn us! That person has long been put into a coffin and buried in Zhongshan! What warning can he give us!!" After saying that, Cao Xing said "hetui~" and spat on the ground.

Zhu Shou stopped arguing and snorted coldly, "That's right! What Old Cao said makes sense! If we can be polite on the surface, and remember the affection and respect we had with the Prince of Kaiping in the past, it's not impossible for us to be a harmonious monarch and subject with his grandson. But if he wants to lock us tigers in his cage forever... then we can't agree! No one else will agree!"
