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

"Damn it! Who!" Lan Yu turned around and said angrily.

But what I saw was Zhu Yunhuan...

He was dressed in a crescent-shaped white silk shirt, and his appearance was as gentle and elegant as jade, which seemed extremely inconsistent with the force that clamped his right hand - he was indeed the one who could shoot that arrow.

Lan Yu frowned, puzzled, "Yun Hun? Why are you stopping me? Originally, you should have been the one to strike that sword!"

Zhu Yunhuan shook his head lightly.

"They do deserve to die, but not now."

"My foundation in the court is not yet stable. I haven't even touched the throne yet. If I want to sit in that position smoothly and steadily, I can't give others an advantage."

Lan Yu's face flashed with realization. "Are you worried about those stinking scholars? They're just like flies, annoying as hell! But don't worry, if they dare to gossip, we'll kill them for you!"

He's a killer.

The solution to problems has always been to kill, kill, kill.

Zhu Yunhuan showed a trace of helplessness on his face and explained: "Uncle, you can kill the scholars in the court, but can you kill the people of the world?"

After a pause, he asked again, "I wonder if my royal grandfather likes these scholars?"

Lan Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

In Lan Yu's impression, the old man really didn't like this group of people, but he still tried his best to recruit scholars from all over the world. Sometimes he was even angered by these literati in the court, but he could control his temper and not kill people!

"now it's right."

"I know my uncle doesn't like to hear these roundabout reasons."

"But there's one thing. What are Grandpa Huang's methods of killing? What's Grandpa Huang's ability to govern the country? If he doesn't do something, he must have his reasons."

"Scholars are rigid and stubborn, but governing a country and maintaining peace and stability are inseparable from them."

Zhu Yunhuan knew that Lan Yu could not understand the role of literati in stabilizing the people's hearts, so he could only quickly explain it to Lan Yu in a way that Lan Yu could understand.

Lan Yu nodded thoughtfully. Most of the Huaixi generals, including Chang Sheng, felt the same way and unconsciously suppressed the murderous intent in their eyes.

There is only one feeling in my heart.

Hmm... I still don't quite understand.

But what you said makes so much sense that I can’t refute it?

“Ah!!”

Lan Yu had no choice but to angrily throw the sword to the ground with a clang. The sound of metal clashing against stone was sharp and piercing...

Among the crowd, Zhang Wen, Marquis of Huining, couldn't help but secretly look at Zhu Yunhuan.

Although he is also a military general with countless achievements, he is better at making strange plans on the battlefield. On weekdays, he is also the most silent, calm and insightful person in this group.

Even when he was implicated in the "Lan Yu Case", it was only because of the charge of "the utensils used in the bedroom were inappropriate". It can be seen that even the Jinyiwei wanted to deal with him, but they could not find any other suitable charges to implicate him.

And at this time.

When the Qianqing Palace fell into silence, the more Zhang Wen looked at the calm and composed young man in front of him, the more shocked he became.

He lost his mother and brother at a young age, and endured for more than ten years under the nose of his scheming stepmother.

Once his sharp edge was revealed, he would act as fast as lightning. With just Lan Yu, he could pull all of them onto his boat overnight.

Although he has been hiding his strength, he is very good at deploying troops and stabilizing the political situation.

The scariest thing is.

After enduring bullying for so many years, he finally stood up and was able to maintain such a clear mind, calm, rational, and clear-headed...

This kind of mentality is one in a million!

"With a monarch like this, the Ming Dynasty can at least guarantee prosperity for decades to come!"

Although Zhang Wen mingled with many Huaixi military generals and did not show up much, he had actually begun to gradually become convinced of the teenage boy in front of him.

When he realized it.

Even he was surprised.

I could only think to myself, "Perhaps it's because I was bullied and looked down upon since I was a child that I developed this tenacity and a composure that belies my age..."

There was a pause.

Zhang Wen stepped forward and reminded, "Your Highness is right. We really can't just kill Lu and Zhu Yunwen casually right now."

"But even so, we now have another difficult problem before us."

"During this period of time, the old man often took Zhu Yunwen to handle government affairs and went in and out of Fengtian Hall. It seems that he intends to make Zhu Yunwen the crown prince, and almost all the civil and military officials in the court have tacitly accepted this."

"As long as Zhu Yunwen is alive, those who stand behind him, such as Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, will never give up their efforts. This will also bring huge resistance and trouble to His Highness the Third Prince."

Hear the words.

Many of the Huaixi nobles present nodded in agreement.

Except for Lan Yu and Chang Sheng, most other people's murderous intentions towards Lu's mother and son were due to this reason - they were now in the same boat, and hindering Zhu Yunhuan would mean hindering their own glory and wealth.

After a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Yunhuan.

Although they were all old guys who had walked more bridges than Zhu Yunhuan had eaten salt, they had to subconsciously admit at this time that how to deal with such matters still depended on Zhu Yunhuan's opinion.

Zhu Yunhuan's expression remained calm as he slowly spoke:

"How difficult is this? The Second Prince of the Eastern Palace is seriously ill, and the country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. However, the new emperor, grateful for our brotherly friendship, has elevated him to the noble title of prince and sent people to take good care of him. The imperial physicians are visiting him daily, and a constant stream of precious medicinal herbs is being sent to the prince's mansion. I simply hope that my second brother will recover."

Of course, he had thought about this a long time ago.

The same thing.

If you say it another way, the meaning changes completely.

In fact, this was the way out that Zhu Yunwen arranged for himself.

After all, in history, this is what Zhu Yunwen did to Zhu Yunhuan - he conferred the title of prince on Zhu Yunhuan, but did not allow him to go to the fiefdom. On the surface, he was honored, but in fact he was under house arrest in the capital - it was probably a good idea given to him by Huang Zicheng or Qi Tai.

But the Zhu Yunhuan in history was not like he is now.

He knew in advance that the Jingnan Campaign would occur, that Zhu Di would succeed in the future, and that he would "act as a traitor and open the city gate for Zhu Di."

So after Zhu Di came to power.

First, his title was stripped away, and soon after, he was demoted to a commoner and sent to Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, Fengyang, Anhui. He served as a commoner for more than ten years and finally died suddenly.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang died early.

The taste was just right for Zhu Yunwen to try.

"What's the point? Why are we giving this kid the title of Prince?" Lan Yu was the first to express his disbelief and opposition. What kind of divine treatment is this for a Ming Dynasty prince? I've seen people repaying kindness with hatred, but I've never seen people repaying hatred with kindness.

Zhang Wen reacted immediately.

His eyes lit up and he said, "Third Prince, what a trick!"

"People were assigned to take good care of him and to watch over Zhu Yunwen at all times. He would refuse any visitors by claiming he was unwell. Precious medicinal herbs could keep Zhu Yunwen in a 'serious' state. The imperial physician would consult him daily, and the severity of his illness depended on the imperial physician's words."

"And even though he was conferred the title of Prince, he still showed such concern for his brothers. His Highness the Third Prince is truly tolerant, kind, and compassionate."

"Even Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai couldn't find fault with him. The court officials and the people have to praise His Highness the Third Prince for being a brotherly and respectful brother."
