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

While thinking, everyone in the room began to talk arrogantly and at once:

"So what do we do now?"

"We have to let people know that we can't be manipulated at will!"

"Why don't we just ask him directly? You're being too respectful and polite to him, and he really thinks he can be the boss of your great uncle!"

"That's right! Hit us? Look, it's him we're supposed to hit!"

"..."

Listening to the familiar, rough voices of these uncles, Chang Sheng's heart sank to the bottom. "They are all conquerors. They are not afraid at all. When they rush into the palace, how will Yunhuan explain it? His ambitions and appetites are too big. A box of colored glass will not solve the problem anymore..."

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the closed study.

Someone near the door noticed and immediately shouted for everyone to quiet down, "Quiet down! Is this... any other news or rumors?"

There were many people inside and the door was open, so naturally they could see at a glance that the person knocking on the door was Lan Yu's confidant. The other party must not have been idle to come here at this time.

The voices of the crowd gradually quieted down.

All eyes fell on the steward of Duke Liang's Mansion at the door, with different expressions and hesitation.

Anyone who can be Lan Yu's housekeeper is definitely not an ordinary person.

He raised his scarred hand and, with a stern gaze, clasped his fists in a salute. "Your Excellency, Lords, Earls, Generals... New news has arrived—something's happened to Liu Sanwu, the head scholar of the Hanlin Academy! It's said he hurried to the Qianqing Palace today to meet Your Majesty. No one knows what transpired there, but that scholar Liu was reprimanded by Your Majesty, stripped of all his official duties, and confined to his own residence."

The news is very detailed.

The Qianqing Palace has now become airtight after Zhu Yun's inspection and renovation over the past period of time. The fact that such detailed information can be obtained by the outside world is naturally also due to Zhu Yun's tacit approval.

I heard what the housekeeper in Lan Yu Mansion said.

A light exclamation suddenly rang out from the crowd, and for a moment they couldn't react to what was going on...

"This Liu Sanwu...what's going on?"

"We'll believe anyone you say is greedy. That old man Liu Sanwu is a pedant, the most conservative of all. He talks about etiquette, law, the people, and the common people all day long... He definitely wouldn't be greedy!"

"His Majesty always does things in such a strange way, as if there is no method..." Everyone couldn't help but complain.

However, although they are a group of reckless men, their minds are not so full of twists and turns, but they are not stupid either.

After a while, someone seemed to react, his eyes shining: "Wait...this matter..."

"About this...did we misunderstand something?" someone asked with a frown.

However, even among the reckless generals, some were slow to react. Someone looked confused and asked, "What's going on? What's the misunderstanding?"

Zhang Yi, who always had a lively mind and many ideas, seemed to have figured it out. He said with a look of sudden realization on his face:

"I didn't hide anything from anyone this time, so it's only natural that Liu Sanwu found out... Old Liu Sanwu has always been fond of those pedantic discussions and commentaries on the classics. He went to the Qianqing Palace at this critical moment..."

That's what he said.

Even the most slow-witted person would figure out what was going on.

"Marquis Heqing, are you saying... that this damn old man has filed a complaint against us? Exactly! This old man is always stubborn and must be disgusted by our actions!"

"So... Old Man Liu went to file a complaint with the Emperor... and ended up being reprimanded, perhaps even suspended, or even punished?"

"That's it! It must be so!"

"..."

After someone brought this up, everyone else roughly understood what was going on.
