Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

That's why he sits in the position of Right Censor-in-Chief.

However, because he was too stubborn and too opinionated, he could only sit in the position of Right Censor-in-Chief in front of Emperor Hongwu.

For the late Hongwu Emperor, who was famous for his military achievements, he would rather let the Minister of Personnel, who was able to see through people's cues, serve as the head of the Censorate.

Zhan Hui glanced at Fu Youwen.

She simply stopped exposing his feigned illness and instead acted anxious, saying, "Although Yuan Tai is a bit stubborn, he always has good intentions. He came to your house this time because he's anxious about that matter. Now the three of us are equally anxious. Why don't you let him in quickly so that there are more people around so we can discuss things better?"

Fu Youwen's expression froze.

After hearing what Zhan Hui said, he felt a bit trapped. He cursed inwardly, "Zhan Hui, this slippery fellow! He learns things so quickly! Your Majesty used a flattering trick on them, and he turned around and used the same trick on me!"

Fu Youwen’s image outside now is that his body was damaged by his deathbed protests.

Given this personality, it was of course difficult for him to refuse Yuan Tai's request for an audience. He could only wave his hand and said, "Tell someone to prepare tea. Please come in."

A barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of Zhan Hui's mouth.

He raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Yuan Tai's arrival is perfect. He's a straightforward person who never beats around the bush. I want to see what you, an old man, are hiding!"

I thought so.

Zhan Hui, however, looked concerned and asked about Fu Youwen's health as if he was chatting with her: "You are old now, so you should be careful in the future."

The two of them drank tea and chatted.

Yuan Tai, with an expressionless face, was also brought in by the housekeeper.

"I'm Yuan Tai, your humble servant. Nice to meet you, Lord Zhan and Lord Fu. Are you both in good health?" Yuan Tai politely bowed and greeted them.

Although he was greeting Fu Youwen and Zhan Hui, in fact, among the three of them, the one who looked the most haggard was Yuan Tai - his lips were pale, his face was bloodshot, and his eyes were full of bloodshot. He looked like he was about to collapse at any time.

It's not because of anything else, but because... Yuan Tai was undoubtedly the one who had persisted the longest at the gate of the Qianqing Palace this time. It was only today that he fainted from kneeling at the gate of the Qianqing Palace and was sent out.

Even not long after she was sent to her own house, she came out and jumped around again.

That's why I'm in this half-dead state now.

Seeing his expression, Fu Youwen was a little startled. He quickly raised his hand and said, "Master Yuan, there's no need to be so polite." After that, he quickly ordered the servants beside him, "Hurry up and find a seat for Master Yuan!"

Of course, he didn't agree with the way this stubborn guy did things.

But both Fu Youwen and Zhan Hui knew that such people had the purest hearts, and naturally they would not lack respect.

"Sir Yuan, I heard that you have been kneeling at the gate of the Qianqing Palace for several days and nights. Why don't you take a good rest now? I know you are devoted to the Ming Dynasty, but if your health collapses, you will be unable to do anything in the future." Fu Youwen advised. He didn't want to get involved in this mess anyway.

But a stubborn donkey is a stubborn donkey.

Yuan Tai's bloodshot eyes were still sharp. "Master Fu, what you said is wrong! As a minister of the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty, you should devote yourself to the service and do your utmost. You must not care about your own safety!"

"This matter now is completely different from any previous one."

"What kind of people are the Huaixi nobles? How much power do they wield? Yet His Majesty shows no signs of vigilance and even tells everyone that he relies solely on them to support him. How could the Huaixi nobles not become arrogant? If this continues, the country will no longer exist!"

"This is no longer a question of whether the policy is reasonable or not."

"As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, how could we stand by and watch this?"

Yuan Tai frowned and spoke righteously, without any regard for feelings, which made Fu Youwen so angry that he didn't know what to say.

It's useless to talk to this kind of person, he will stick to his own opinion!

After Yuan Tai finished speaking, without waiting for Fu Youwen to respond, he immediately bowed to Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen in succession, "Master Zhan, Master Fu, I believe that we must not give up easily this time!"

"Your Majesty's attitude this time is so fierce and resolute. It's no longer just a question of whether the Duke of Ying will stay or go, but... a question of Your Majesty's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty!"

Yuan Tai is stubborn, so his goal is very clear, which is to drag Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen to make trouble again.

Fu Youwen secretly groaned in his heart.

At the same time, he silently scolded Zhan Hui again: "Why did you insist on asking me to invite him in? You are really causing him great harm!"

but.

Zhan Hui, however, seemed to be pleased with this scene.

He even echoed Yuan Tai, saying, "That's quite reasonable! I deeply agree with you. It's a pity that I'm not in good health, otherwise I would definitely stand guard at the gate of the Qianqing Palace!"

After saying this, Zhan Hui looked at Fu Youwen with a meaningful look in his eyes.

He pretended to have suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of the death outside the Qianqing Palace..."

"Master Fu, I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished what I was saying just now!"

"Whether it's me, Master Yuan, or our other colleagues, we all simply wish to advise His Majesty, hoping he can think this matter through clearly and thoroughly. Therefore, we all kneel together. But Master Fu... why did you feign illness and run away?"

"You are pretending to be sick, this official can see clearly!"

Zhan Hui's true intentions were exposed.

After hearing this, Yuan Tai gave Fu Youwen an extremely serious look.
