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

Zhu Yuanzhang had been thrifty all his life, and Zhu Yunhuan's way of spending money was indeed an insurmountable hurdle in his heart. There was no way around it, being frugal had become a habit for him.

I heard Zhu Yuanzhang's somewhat anxious instructions.

Zhu Di was secretly delighted and immediately bowed and said goodbye: "Yes, father, I will go first."

The words are over.

Zhu Di took a few symbolic steps back, then turned around impatiently and hurried away.

Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious, and he was even more anxious than Zhu Yuanzhang - he had waited too long.

……

Zhu Di rode his horse at full speed and returned to the gate of his Prince of Yan's Mansion as fast as he could.

In the past, he and Monk Daoyan had been hiding their affairs a little, but now Zhu Yuanzhang already knew exactly what they were doing. In order to facilitate the communication of information and discussion of the situation, Monk Daoyan basically stayed in the Prince of Yan's Mansion all the time.

Zhu Di turned over and got off the horse.

Without looking back, he headed towards a secluded courtyard where Monk Daoyan was.

Monk Daoyan was playing a chess game with himself on the stone table in his small courtyard. At this moment, he was pinching his chin, thinking about his next move.

I heard some noise outside the door.

Monk Daoyan raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Di. Seeing that he looked anxious, he frowned and said, "Didn't the prince go to the emperor's house to pay his respects? What happened?"

He had always valued Zhu Di and had been with him for ten years, so he knew Zhu Di's character very well - he would definitely not be easily impatient.

Therefore, Monk Daoyan's face was unconsciously covered with a heavy feeling.

Zhu Di came in and saw Monk Daoyan's relaxed and contented appearance. He knew, "It seems that Master Daoyan hasn't received any news from Yingtian Prefecture yet."

So he didn't keep anyone in suspense and went straight to the point, saying, "My father has already received the news from Yingtian Prefecture."

Monk Daoyan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "What happened in Yingtian Prefecture?"

Zhu Di said solemnly, "There are quite a few things."

"First, Zhu Yunhuan secretly summoned Fu Youde to the capital."

"Then, he quickly sent Fu Youde out of Yingtian Prefecture and sent him to the coastal area to increase troops, cultivate farmland, and train soldiers..."

Zhu Di immediately told the main points to Monk Daoyan in the most concise and clear way.

Monk Daoyan stared intently.

He concentrated intently on capturing every piece of information Zhu Di said. As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, he had a rough idea in his mind and said in a deep voice, "Our chance has been pushed back again."

Zhu Di nodded: "Not bad."

Monk Daoyan rolled his eyes, and then seemed to have something he didn't quite understand. He frowned slightly and said, "Isn't it... Fu Youde? The coast? Increasing troops and cultivating land?" He didn't understand for a moment how this matter was related to the coast.

Zhu Di also came to his senses.

He slapped his head and said, "I missed this. At the beginning of the first month, Zhu Yunhuan insisted on his own way and, against all odds, forced the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 4 million dan of money and grain to the coastal areas to increase troops, cultivate farmland, and train soldiers."

Monk Daoyan immediately said, "So that's why the Right Censor of the Censorate was publicly kicked out of the Qianqing Palace some time ago."

The previous time, they knew about Yuan Tai’s embarrassing experience, but they didn’t know what the secret was.

Now the confusion is solved.

Zhu Di immediately said, "Ninety-nine percent true. That's why Father has made up his mind to stand with us."

Monk Daoyan quickly sorted out the situation.

But there was no sign of anxiety on his face.

Instead, he snorted coldly, and said with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth: "Oh, each of these things are good things."

After saying that, he picked up a white piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard in front of him.

He was a man with much more patience than Zhu Di.

Besides, his fun lies in the game, in winning or losing. He doesn't care that much whether it's early or late.
