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

"Hey! Don't think about what you heard. Did you see the wound on my face? I just came out of that mine! This is absolutely true! Lord Zhuo told us himself! Lord Zhuo, don't you agree?" A middle-aged man with a wound on his face still said this, and then he started a conversation with Zhuo Jing.

The people's discussion of these things naturally agreed with Zhuo Jing's wishes - such words should be spread out as soon as possible!

He immediately turned around and laughed out loud, saying, "Hahaha! That's right, that's exactly what I said!"

At the same time, he secretly thought, "Those people around here with bad intentions should be scared!"

On that day, the prison van team responsible for escorting prisoners from Yuanzhou Prefecture set out from the government office and took several hours to reach the suburbs.

at dusk.

The screams outside Yuanzhou Prefecture were endless, almost reaching the sky. Since then, a total of thirteen human skins covered with grass have been left outside the city, and no one cared about them.

……

Beiping Prefecture.

A heavy snow fell near the end of the year. Perhaps it was because the New Year atmosphere was particularly warm this year, but even the snow stopped in Beiping Prefecture, located on the northern border. The heavy, gloomy clouds that had been hovering in the sky for a long time dissipated in the past few days, and sunlight shone on the snow.

Towards the end of the year.

The streets are always bustling, especially this year.

There are still several days before the Chinese New Year, and merchants and people on the street have already hung festive red lanterns at their doors.

There are many more stalls selling New Year goods in the downtown area than in previous years.

Looking down again on a winter day, the cold seemed to be mostly driven away, and the scene was festive and lively.

In Cuiming Tower in Beiping Prefecture.

Today is another packed day.

"Your Highness, do you think the contents of today's newspaper...will reveal Song Zhong's purpose for coming to Northern Frontier?"

In the box, Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun, Qiu Fu, and Monk Daoyan came here as usual, waiting for the latest news in the newspaper.

While waiting, Qiu Fu frowned and asked curiously.

For nothing else.

Rather, they had received intelligence the past two days: Song Zhong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, who served as the emperor's closest attendant, had unexpectedly made a formidable trip north! Not only had he come, but he had also arrived in a hurry! He had only brought a few men with him, and it was said that several horses had died along the way.

When I first heard the news.

Zhu Di and others couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, the last time Song Zhong left Beijing to do business... he was targeting Prince of Qin Zhu Gang and Prince of Jin Zhu Gang.

But the good thing is.

They soon discovered.

Song Zhong and his entourage were in such a hurry, not to Beiping, but to Datong Prefecture! As for what they were going there for... that is unknown...

I heard Qiu Fu ask this.

Zhu Di's expression froze slightly, and he sighed uncomfortably, "This...it's hard for me to say...the actions of the person behind Zhu Yunhuan...are difficult to guess."

As he spoke, his face was gloomy, and even his heart could not help but slightly rise - this time was the same... Another incomprehensible action...

But based on past experience, every time something inexplicably happens, it always leads to something earth-shattering.

There is no way Zhu Di could be in a good mood.

Monk Daoyan was much calmer than him. He was very good at cultivating his Qi. After several previous trainings, he had already reached a higher level. At this moment, he just sat silently in the box, with his eyes slightly closed, waiting quietly.

And at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang would naturally not be absent when Cuiminglou sold newspapers and people started reading the new issue of newspapers. However, after being discovered by Zhu Di last time, he simply didn't hide it and came openly, sitting in another box not far away.

He picked up the teacup on the table, blew gently, and took a sip slowly.

He said with great interest, "I wonder what our eldest grandson is up to this time... I think it must be very interesting. Our eldest grandson is a really wonderful person, hahahaha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very happy these days.

In previous winters, I was always extremely anxious and at a loss. When I entered the house, I ignored everything and just drank tea, went shopping, and ate melon seeds in this Beiping Mansion... but it made me feel better.

Especially as the days go by.

The sadness of losing two sons gradually faded away, and wasn't life getting better and better day by day?

"Tsk tsk, what a heavenly life this is."

"If I had known this... we should have played some fake games a long time ago..." At this point, he realized that he had almost let the cat out of the bag due to his composure. He looked at Lu Wei, who was accompanying him, with a hint of guilt, and coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment.

Although Lu Wei is also his confidant.

But after all, he is the great Hongwu Emperor... Of course, he cannot let the people below know that he has messed himself up this time.

After a pause, he thought to himself, "I should have faked my own death a long time ago! Otherwise, how would I have known that I had such a useful eldest grandson?"

He put down the teacup in his hand.

I grabbed a handful of melon seeds in my hand, cracked them, and watched the hustle and bustle outside with a smile.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the treasure chest.

Lu Wei immediately walked over and opened the door.

He took something from the other person's hand, and then with a hint of excitement in his eyes, he said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Datong Prefecture!"

Zhu Di had received the news, and Zhu Yuanzhang naturally also learned of Song Zhong's whereabouts. Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, even Lu Wei was curious about what Song Zhong was doing here.
