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

And on the other side was Yuan Tai.

He remained silent the entire time, his face gloomy, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. After a long while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Damn it!"

Yuan Tai hadn't forgotten that he had been going against His Majesty from the very beginning...

My three views have collapsed in the past two days, and my mentality has also collapsed. I have fallen into an endless cycle of self-blame and guilt. I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and got up to give myself sinus surgery.

Now I know so much more inside information.

The remorse in my heart naturally made the situation worse. I was speechless at this point. I was so anxious and angry that I almost had a heart attack. Damn! I, who always gave honest advice, was actually a stumbling block on the road to success for the Ming Dynasty?

It would be easier if he wasn't so loyal.

But he thought from beginning to end that he was doing the right thing, that he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, to the late emperor, and to the current emperor. It was just that the truth was unpleasant to his ears.

Who the hell wouldn't collapse?

Zhan Hui, Fu Youwen, and Xia Yuanji were already familiar with his nature. Seeing Yuan Tai like this, they quickly advised, "Master Yuan... Master Yuan, there's no need to dwell on this. His Majesty has already said it in the newspapers. Ignorance is not a crime. Moreover, when sweet potatoes were dug in the Imperial Garden yesterday, His Majesty tacitly allowed the historian to include your name. I believe His Majesty is fully aware of Master Yuan's efforts and loyalty."

Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen exchanged glances.

They felt that if they didn't persuade him a few more times, he might just impulsively hit his head against a pillar and die.

Xia Yuanji also advised, "That's right! If Master Yuan feels bad about it, in the future... just try to make up for your mistakes with more merits."

"..."

Just as Zhan Hui and the others thought, Yuan Tai almost had the idea of ​​committing suicide at the beginning. Fortunately, several people behind him in Beiping persuaded him and finally gave up the idea.

Yuan Tai gritted his teeth, his cheeks puffed out, and said with an extremely determined look, "Yes! I will serve Your Majesty as an ox or a horse! This is the only way to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

"That's right! Master Yuan has finally figured it out."

"Besides... before our Ming Dynasty, we had the heroism of the Hongwu Emperor, who drove out the Tartars, unified the Central Plains, and rectified the Ming Dynasty. Later, we had wise rulers like Your Majesty who ruled the country... Don't you want to witness the future prosperity of the Ming Dynasty with your own eyes?"

"Even being a brick and tile that contributes to this great era is an honor. Sir Yuan, are you willing to die?"

Zhan Hui leaned on the railing beside him, looking down from a high vantage point, seeing the crowds of people below, crying and shouting "Long live the emperor..." with a smile on his face.

At this moment, he felt... that he seemed to have caught a glimpse of the future prosperity of the country and the people from the chaotic yet simple crying scene below.

As his words fell.

Yuan Tai showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and the determination to die in his eyes disappeared. With the help of Xia Yuanji, he stood up, looked down, and nodded seriously in response to Zhan Hui's words: "If I don't die, I won't die, and I don't deserve to die!"

After saying this, he took a deep breath, his eyes filled with longing, and he murmured with a determined gaze, "Every brick and tile that contributes to the future prosperity of the Ming Dynasty..."

The four of them calmed down after the contact, silently watching the almost crazy scene in Zuiyue Tower and silently listening to the noisy shouts in their ears.

My heart beats faster than anyone else's...

At the same time, the Huaixi nobles who had heard the news came out not far away and gathered together to watch the excitement had smiles on their faces. Amidst the noisy sounds, each of them held a wine pot in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

Their faces were filled with smug smiles.

From time to time, they would pour wine into their own glasses or other people's glasses, clink glasses with each other, and chat with each other. From time to time, they would also laugh and talk with other military honors around them.

Food...of course they like it.

Happy, really happy.

However, even at this time, because the entire Zuiyue Tower was filled with noise and clamor, Zhan Hui, Fu Youwen and the other four could not hear what each other was saying at all. They could only see their lips moving, as if they were watching a noisy pantomime.
