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

"Little Wolf Cub is right. This trouble-making monk is indeed no simple man. Let's see how he is going to stir up trouble in the world."

"Also, let's investigate the movements of the 20,000 Yanshan guards under Lao Si. Lao Si has done a perfect job. He even arranged a secluded stronghold for the secret troops stationed on the streets."

"We didn't even detect a single clue about the secret agents in his palace. If we hadn't encountered this incident today, we wouldn't have known that the Fourth Brother really had such thoughts!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang came all the way to Peking, the few secret leads that Jiang Lin had not given out were of course handed over to Lu Wei for Zhu Yuanzhang's use.

Lu Wei immediately responded, "Let's arrange it right away."

……

Zhu Di, Monk Daoyan, and Qiu Fu left the house and rode their horses for a long distance before they all breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh..."

After holding it in for a long time, Qiu Fu finally managed to speak. He couldn't help but sigh, "What a strange thing! It's really a very strange thing!"

Monk Daoyan narrowed his eyes slightly and said solemnly, "This is a serious matter. Please be careful with your words and actions. We will discuss this after returning to Prince Yan's Mansion."

There was no conversation along the way. The three of them dismounted their horses with heavy expressions, entered Prince Yan's Mansion, and dismissed everyone in the study.

"No wonder... I've been feeling a bit uneasy lately, like something's about to happen. My dad really gave me a pretty good scare!"

"Master Daoyan, what on earth is going on?"

Zhu Di had been holding this question in his mind for a long time. He didn't dare to ask his father directly. He thought that the only person who could solve his problem was probably Master Daoyan, so he finally asked it now.

Qiu Fu also frowned tightly.

He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Back in Yingtian Prefecture, the imperial edict was issued, the funeral was held, and the coronation ceremony was held. And our Emperor Hongwu suddenly resurrected in Peking? How could such a thing happen?"

"Master Daoyan, please tell me!"

"With this sudden incident, all our previous plans have gone to waste, haven't they?"

He paced back and forth anxiously as he spoke, then clapped his hands and spread them out, a look of helplessness on his face.

Monk Daoyan was naturally the calmest.

He pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is indeed strange. Although I cannot figure out the specific situation at the moment, there is one thing I am certain of."

"Which point?" Qiu Fu asked impatiently.

"First of all, Your Majesty came all the way from Yingtian Prefecture to Peking and watched the new emperor ascend the throne. It could not have been active, it must have been passive, or in other words, it was a choice Your Majesty had to make!" Monk Daoyan said firmly.

Well, first, let's eliminate the correct answer.

"What do you mean?" Qiu Fu asked.

Monk Daoyan asked in return, "May I ask Captain Qiu what kind of person he thinks our Hongwu Emperor is?"

Qiu Fu scratched his head and thought for a moment, then answered truthfully, "He was an iron-blooded emperor, brave and skilled in war, decisive in killing, overbearing and majestic, holding all the power, and killing countless people..."

This is the impression most people have of Zhu Yuanzhang - the Hu Weiyong case, the empty seal case, the Guo Huan case... Which case involved tens of thousands of deaths?

But after these words came out.

Qiu Fu immediately realized something and looked at Zhu Di a little embarrassedly and said, "Uh, that, Your Majesty, I have no intention of belittling your Majesty."

They are certainly planning something big.

But this is also saying bad things about the father in front of his son.

Monk Daoyan didn't care about these things.

He then continued to ask, "So, Captain Qiu, and Your Highness... do you think that if the Hongwu Emperor still held the initiative, he would give up his position?"

"Captain Qiu was absolutely right—he holds all the power! For this reason, our emperor not only executed Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, implicating the lives of tens of thousands of people, but also directly reformed the system and abolished the position of Prime Minister."
