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

Instead, a hint of admiration appeared on his face. "Come to think of it, he pulled our Tiger Power Bow to its full draw that day. But he really needs to practice his riding skills. This Zhu family kid can actually fall off his horse while hunting."

"It's also the fault of that vicious woman Lu!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a cold look in his eyes.

How could he not guess why Zhu Yunhuan was "not good at horsemanship"? It was obvious that he wanted to hide his shortcomings under Lu's nose, so he didn't dare to practice and didn't dare to improve!

Thinking of this, murderous intent flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Finally it disappeared.

"Never mind. This brat has already handled the murders of Huang Zicheng and Zhou Dexing, two families. His recent purges of the Imperial Guards have been swift and resolute, with blood shed on the blade. Even Jiang Li is starting to have trouble getting any information from the Imperial Guards. With this brat's temper, that vicious woman from the Lu family won't have an easy time either."

When talking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked relieved.

Although the Jinyiwei became more and more strict and it became more difficult for him to get information, from another perspective this was a good thing - it proved the skill of the successor he chose, and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Admittedly, he was now somewhat unsure as he hurried to Beijing.

But, if possible.

Of course, he hoped that he had not trusted the wrong person, that all his preparations and plans were in vain, and that the "Hongwu Emperor" had indeed passed away in the 25th year of Hongwu.

"Wait...skill, power, Minister of War..." Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression suddenly froze, and he murmured.

Then he picked up the information in his hand again.

I read the information about Zhu Yunhuan's hunting again.

"Hunting suddenly took off."

"The hunting grounds are missing."

"Minister of War Ru Yan, who followed alone to rescue the emperor, was demoted to Left Vice Minister of War..."

After reading the intelligence in his hand over and over again, Zhu Yuanzhang muttered a few key words thoughtfully and fell into a state of dazed contemplation.

After a while.

A smile gradually appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

His slightly cloudy eyes gradually brightened, and he slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! This is his deliberate arrangement! His purpose is not to go hunting! His purpose is to see Ru Chang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang controlled the Ming Dynasty for many years.

Although his favorite phrase is "kill, kill, kill," the balance of power and conspiracies in the court over the years are not difficult to figure out.

He saw with his own eyes that Zhu Yunhuan acted like a decent gentleman in front of the Huaixi nobles, calling them "uncle", "uncle", and "uncle" affectionately, but behind their backs he shouted "Huaixi military general" with a murderous look on his face.

Others may not know, but he knows very well that Zhu Yunhuan is always on guard against Lan Yu and his group.

In this situation.

Besides this grandson of his who had completely purged the Jinyiwei and turned them into his own faction, and the Qingzhou faction that that idiot Old Seven had brought to him, who else was most capable and worth winning over? — Minister of War Ru Chang!

“That’s the right way to think about it!”

"It seems this little wolf cub is acting again, taking advantage of the impression that I was 'losing my ambition' while I was out there, and suddenly got inspired to go hunting. This naturally brought me into contact with Ru Rong, and he created opportunities for the two of them to be alone... During the time he was missing, Ru Rong must have become his!"

"Even after the incident, she still didn't forget to put on another show with Ru Rong to demote him."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately and took a deep breath, his expression filled with admiration and excitement. "What he couldn't do, he asked Ru Rong to do. Without anyone noticing, he slowly shifted the control of the military forces near the capital from the Huaixi nobles to his own hands!"

"Hahahaha! Good boy!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily.

"Perhaps, all our worries and concerns just now are in vain, hahaha!"

This was the heir he had chosen. With such skill and scheming, why would he worry about failure? For Zhu Yuanzhang, it was all clear.

Even some of my previous doubts have been dispelled.

After all, as far as he knows, all those seemingly absurd things that Zhu Yunhuan did had their own deep meanings and arrangements behind them. Every time he "lost his ambition by indulging in trivial things", he actually used it on the blade.

Be patient and hide your edge.

The Ministry of Industry's weaving bureau and the replacement of shuttles on the looms seemed to be just as he had expected: there was a whole new world going on, and a lot to say about it.

"Hahaha! Old Huang! It seems there is good news from Yingtian Prefecture." At this time, Lu Wei had also instructed the helmsman to head north as soon as possible. He came out of the cabin again and just saw Zhu Yuanzhang leaning on the side of the ship and laughing. He felt a lot more relaxed.

Although he was on close terms with Zhu Yuanzhang, he never dared to take it lightly.

"I've already given instructions. The helmsmen will head north as fast as they can. After a while, there will be a section of river that goes downstream." Lu Wei said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood at this time, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, there is some good news."

However, he did not give up his original plan, but acquiesced to Lu Wei's arrangement.

Counting the time, it has been almost a month since he left Yingtian Prefecture. He has seen almost everything he should see. Arriving in Peking one day earlier means he can settle down one day earlier. Besides, the weather is getting cold, and the roads will be difficult to travel on.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Continue to check the intelligence information in hand.

The following one.

September 14th.

[A letter arrived from Shanxi, delivered 800 miles to Yingtian Prefecture, and landed in Song Zhong's hands. It also contained a brocade box.]

"Shanxi..."

"Isn't that the place where the little wolf spent three hundred thousand taels of silver to dig coal?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up and he became interested.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver to dig coal...what can you dig out?
