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

The middle-aged butler lifted the carriage curtain and took a look outside.

He couldn't help but sighed deeply, and reminded with a worried look on his face: "Your Highness, we are now at Zhongshan, not far from Yingtianfu..."

"The previous emperor passed away unexpectedly, and Yingtian Prefecture has undergone tremendous changes. The new emperor is probably wary of you princes stationed outside the capital, and he has specifically issued an edict to all the princes, ordering them to stay in their territories and not enter the capital..."

"But just a few days later, the new emperor sent another decree, summoning the prince from Kaifeng to Yingtian Prefecture. I don't know what the new emperor's intentions are."

"I don't even know... whether this trip will be auspicious or disastrous..."

"I'm really worried."

That’s right, the elegant young man sitting in the middle of the carriage at this moment is Zhu Su, the King of Zhou of the Ming Dynasty, who was enfeoffed in Kaifeng Prefecture.

That day, Zhu Chaofang and Zhu Xuening mentioned taking a concubine.

Zhu Yunhuan also thought of the current medical conditions in the Ming Dynasty and his thoughts on the changes in women's marriage and childbearing age.

Medical care is a major issue for people’s livelihood.

If we want to increase the population, one way is to ensure that people have enough food to eat and do not starve to death, and another is to ensure that people are warm and do not freeze to death.

It is equally important to improve medical and health awareness and reduce disease and mortality rates.

Since the Zhu family has this ready-made tool, Zhu Yunhuan will of course use him to the best advantage.

So after the conversation, an imperial edict was sent to Kaifeng.

What king Zhu Su?

That is my academician of medical school.

However, this imperial edict left Zhu Su confused and bewildered.

However, the new emperor of Yingtian Prefecture was very stable after he ascended the throne, and he had a group of ruthless people, the Huaixi nobles, standing behind him. The imperial edict had even been sent.

Zhu Su did not dare to delay.

I could only set off from Kaifeng with trepidation and without stopping. Today, I finally arrived in Yingtian Prefecture.

Hear the reminder from the butler beside him.

Zhu Su's brows trembled slightly, and he shook his head helplessly: "There's no point in worrying. Whether this journey is good or bad, I have to go."

"The new emperor is clearly wary of us uncles."

"If I dare to disobey the order... maybe in a few days, an order to reduce the power of the feudal lords will be passed to Kaifeng."

I don’t know if it’s because he often deals with doctors, physicians, and patients on a daily basis.

Although Zhu Su's expression was solemn, his eyes and voice showed an open-minded attitude towards life and death.

There was a pause.

He even smiled bitterly and said, "It's good that the new emperor has summoned me to the capital. Since my father passed away, it is a pity that I, as his son, was unable to see him off in person. Although I am a few days late, I can still see him off."

After that, he raised his voice and shouted outside: "Stop the car!!"

"Uu——"

The sound of reining in horses came from outside the carriage.

The entire convoy slowly stopped moving.

Zhu Su lifted the curtain and stepped down from the carriage. He then turned and looked in the direction of Zhongshan. He took a few steps forward, knelt down in front of Zhongshan, and said loudly, "I, the unfilial son Zhu Su, respectfully send my father to the grave! Rest in peace, my father!"

Behind him were the butler, servants, guards, grooms, etc.

Naturally, they immediately knelt down and said in unison, "Farewell, Your Majesty!"

After three kowtows.

Zhu Su finally stood up, his expression and eyes filled with sadness. The autumn wind lifted the hem of his clothes, making them rustle.

After looking at Zhongshan in silence for a long time.

Zhu Su withdrew his gaze, looked towards Yingtian Prefecture, and sighed softly: "Let's go. This prince also wants to see what that child who dares not speak loudly looks like sitting on the dragon throne."

After saying that, he got into his carriage again.

Everyone returned to their seats, and the convoy started again on the slightly desolate official road, heading straight for Yingtian Prefecture.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunhuan was sitting behind the dragon desk, casually reading a document in his hand, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, and shaking his head from time to time.

"Hmm... still too conservative."

“This title is too serious.”

He complained slowly in his mouth.

Zhu Yunhuan placed the documents in his hand on the table.

He raised the imperial cinnabar brush and crossed out the title at the beginning of the document, then wrote next to it: [Shock! Men are silent after reading this, women are moved to tears...]

Zhu Yunhuan was about to pick up another document to continue looking at it.

Then a young eunuch walked in from outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Zhou has entered the palace and is requesting an audience outside the Qianqing Palace."

Zhu Yunhuan put down the paper and pen in his hand.

He raised his head, took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Xuan."

The young eunuch retreated.

Not long after.

Prince Zhu Su of Zhou, dressed in a light blue brocade robe, walked in unhurriedly. His gaze subconsciously lingered on Zhu Yunhuan for a moment before he politely bowed and said, "Your humble servant, Zhu Su, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

The imperial family has been ruthless since ancient times.

According to etiquette and law, no matter when or where, the first thing to be discussed must be the ruler and his subjects.

Zhu Su knew his current situation, so he was naturally very polite and did not dare to give away any evidence rashly.

But in his heart, he was surprised and muttered: "It's different. It's completely different from the child I met before who didn't dare to speak..."

And look around.

At this moment, there seemed to be no one else in the Qianqing Palace except him and Zhu Yunhuan - in other words, it was Zhu Yunhuan who called him over?

After confirming this, he felt a little relieved.

Regardless of whether Zhu Yunhuan summoned him to do something to him, from the perspective of the common people of the world, the new emperor was bright-eyed and confident, and did not seem like a puppet controlled by the Huaixi nobles. This was a good thing.

He likes to study medicine.

I have the compassionate heart of a doctor.

If Zhu Yunhuan's ascension to the throne could allow the Ming Dynasty to be passed on safely, he would not object in his heart.

This time when he came to Yingtian Prefecture, compared to worrying about his own safety, he was more worried about seeing a puppet who was completely controlled by the Huaixi nobles.

Looking at the somewhat nervous Zhu Su, Zhu Yunheng curled his lips into a sly smile and spoke slowly, "Although my fifth uncle has been away on a vassalage mission for many years, and we don't have many opportunities to meet, why should I be so distant? I still remember that when I was seven years old, my fifth uncle brought me a string of candied haws to eat."
