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

Zhao Feng came back to his senses.

He immediately took a deep breath to calm himself down, and after a moment's thought, he asked, "Since this monk Daoyan is the chief monk of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, does the correspondence you received mention His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?"

Although Zhao Feng was distracted for a moment, he quickly calmed down and immediately asked the most crucial question.

Monks and non-monks are one thing, but in the end, the fate of the kings will be decided.

Zhou Zheng immediately pulled out a stack of letter paper and a few confession records from his pocket, stepped forward and placed them on Zhao Feng's desk, then stepped back and replied:

"Reporting to you, sir, the letter was extremely careful with its wording and did not mention His Highness the Prince of Yan. However, he was mentioned in the confession, but... the confession only stated that all the acts and intentions of rebellion were the brainchild of Monk Daoyan, and that these two had never met His Highness the Prince of Yan."

"The two statements are consistent with each other and are therefore true."

What he said was true. Monk Daoyan was certainly cautious and even kept his daily intelligence exchanges and gatherings separate from Zhu Di. Of course, he had taken care of this matter long ago.

Zhou Zheng paused.

He continued, "Based on the confessions of these two, they are unsure whether His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has any intention of rebellion, but the master they are talking about, that is, the 'Monk Daoyan', seems to have taken a certain initiative in this rebellion."

Zhao Feng lowered his eyes and glanced at the letter and confession on the table.

He didn't look through it immediately, but narrowed his eyes and said, "He is really meticulous. No wonder he can even avoid the eyes of the Jinyiwei."

"Forget it, this matter has come to a conclusion. I have to go to the Qianqing Palace first. Keep a careful eye on those two people. His Majesty must want them alive." Zhao Feng carefully put away the letters and other evidence on the table and gave a careful reminder.

After saying that, he walked out from behind the table and headed for the door.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yunhuan was sitting behind the dragon desk, holding a wolf-hair brush in his hand, but the tip of the brush was suspended in mid-air. His expression was thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.

And under his pen.

It was a piece of imperial-quality rice paper with two lines of words already written on it.

【1. Universalize basic education】

This was something that had been in Zhu Yunhuan's plan for a long time. Especially in recent times, Zhu Yunhuan has repeatedly encountered some inevitable obstacles in daily communication, so naturally he wanted to put this matter on the agenda.

In his view, there are two stages in universal education.

【Lay the foundation first】

The first one, of course, is the literacy rate, which is equivalent to the teaching content in primary school. This is to lay the foundation. If you don’t even know the characters, how can you learn advanced content such as mathematics, physics and chemistry?

The second stage was to popularize some basic concepts of mathematics, physics and chemistry in the Ming Dynasty. This is a later story. After all, he had to teach and explain them to the first group of people first.

Of course, Zhu Yunhuan actually did this whenever he was free.

It can also be considered as making preparations in advance.

"But in actual operation now, we still mainly consider the most basic popularization of education..." Zhu Yunhuan said to himself.

Then he slowly wrote down:

[Continue to deepen the series of policies promulgated in the second year of Hongwu, the eighth year of Hongwu, the fifteenth year of Hongwu... and add to them, enforcing universal education, optimizing teacher support, and expanding education coverage].

Finished.

Zhu Yunhuan chuckled and said, "Old Zhu has done a good job. He has laid a good foundation for me. All I have to do is continue to implement it."

Talk about it.

This was actually the easiest thing for Zhu Yunhuan to do.

First of all, whether in appearance or in reality, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It may even help to clear his not-so-good reputation.

Secondly, Zhu Yuanzhang himself attached great importance to education and had been working hard for it during the Hongwu period. Zhu Yunhuan finally did not have to bear the accusation of being unfilial and "disobeying ancestors".
