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

But Zhao Baiqiang corrected him, saying, "Your Highness the Prince of Yan is wrong. You shouldn't address me as 'son and minister', but 'minister'."

"Minister?" Zhu Di was a little confused and didn't understand the meaning of these words for a moment.

But Zhao Baiqiang didn't give him time to react.

He immediately unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read aloud:

"In obedience to the Emperor Tian Chengyun, I issue this decree: Grandfather's sudden passing pains me greatly. However, the vassal princes from all regions guard the Ming territory and the capital. The remnant Yuan forces in the north are eyeing us covetously. The Ming Dynasty cannot be left without a defender for a single day. They will be summoned at a later time to pay their respects. I hereby order all vassal princes to remain where they are and not to enter the capital to mourn unless summoned. This is my decree!"

I heard these words fall into my ears one by one.

Zhu Di raised his head and stared at the Jinyiwei in front of him. His heart, which had been beating vigorously, gradually sank and he became even more confused.

Grandfather Emperor? Not allowing the princes to come to Beijing for the funeral?

So Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne smoothly?

How can this be?

Would the Huaixi nobles in the court agree to this? Would the surrounding princes, especially the hot-tempered Old Seventh Prince, allow this to happen?

"Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne?" Zhu Di's expression was stiff and he muttered absentmindedly.

"That's not the case. The new emperor is the third son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The previous emperor died suddenly without leaving a will. The ministers followed the Imperial Ming Dynasty's ancestral precepts and appointed the Crown Prince's eldest son as the Crown Prince's grandson. They advised His Majesty to advance to the throne."

Zhao Baiqiang explained, and then urged: "Your Highness Prince Yan, please accept the order!" This is the first thing to do for the new emperor, and there must be no mistakes.

Zhu Di was so shocked that he took a deep breath.

He widened his eyes and sighed, "Zhu...Zhu Yunxun!!?"

The one who ascended the throne...

It’s actually Zhu Yunxun! !?

He is the eldest brother's third son and the only surviving son of his first wife, Chang. Unfortunately, he has been cowardly and stupid since he was a child and is unable to shoulder important responsibilities, so no one has ever cared about him.

What happened this time?

Zhu Di's eyes rolled around.

I have a solution in mind:

Huaixi nobles!

In terms of legitimacy, Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Yunwen each accounted for half. Zhu Yunhuan was the original wife's legitimate son but was younger, while Zhu Yunwen was the eldest. Although he was born to a concubine before she was promoted to the position of legitimate wife, his status was recognized by his father.

But now there is no will, so it depends on who has the more powerful power.

Zhu Di just couldn't believe it no matter what: "How dare those Huaixi nobles put a piece of trash on the throne? Are they crazy?!"

I heard Zhu Di subconsciously calling Zhu Yunhuan's name.

Zhao Baiqiang's expression suddenly changed, and he reminded, "Your Highness, the Prince of Yan, the new emperor has ascended the throne. Please be careful when addressing him."

Zhu Di's heart was still in turmoil.

Then he heard the monk Daoyan beside him remind him: "Since the new emperor has ascended the throne, Your Highness should first accept the imperial edict."

There was no emotion in Monk Daoyan's voice.

But Zhu Di could still clearly sense that compared to the solemnity he had shown when he suddenly discovered that the Jinyiwei had come to Beiping, Daoyan had regained his previous calmness of strategizing.

Obviously.

He already had a plan in mind.

After realizing this, although Zhu Di had not yet fully understood the situation, his anxious heart finally calmed down.

After all, Daoyan kept talking about "white hat" and "being the emperor" every day.

With the talent of Master Daoyan.

As long as he succeeds, he won't have to worry about his "throne".

Zhu Di took a deep breath to calm himself down.

According to Monk Daoyan.

He kowtowed and accepted the order: "Your Majesty, I accept the order."

Zhao Baiqiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan would accept the drastic changes in the capital so calmly.

But for him, it was a good thing that His Majesty's mission was completed smoothly.

He handed the imperial edict in his hand to Zhu Di and said, "Since the edict has been delivered, I will take my leave and return to the capital to report."

Zhu Di and others stood up.
