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

Suddenly, Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen's memories were drawn back to that dark and stormy night. Back then, the three civil officials, accustomed to the ups and downs of the court, were stunned by what they saw.

In the past, Emperor Taizu Hongwu’s threats and intimidation were all direct.

But now this person gives people the feeling of having a sword hanging over their head and a chill down their back... Even in the hands of the late emperor, a natural killer, he was not so sinister.

After a moment of silence.

Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen each picked up the teacup on the vermilion lacquered mahogany table in front of them and raised their glasses to each other.

Fu Youwen's expression was hard to describe: "Let's encourage each other."

Zhan Hui also responded with deep emotion: "Let us encourage each other..."

After saying that, they both raised their hands to cover their faces with their long sleeves, and drank the tea in the cup as if it were wine.

After drinking, everyone put down the teacup in their hands.

Fu Youwen laughed and teased, "You don't have to worry anymore, do you? Just now, you were walking around so tirelessly that I was afraid you'd kick a hole through the floor of Zuiyue Tower."

Zhan Hui couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head helplessly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, "You are a bad-mouthed old man, but I accept what you said!"

"Your Majesty's butcher knife is still sharp, but judging from the news just now, the court hasn't suffered any serious damage. I can finally have a good New Year, hahahahahaha!"

He let out a hearty laugh, showing that his mood had indeed improved.

After letting out the pent-up anger in his chest for the past few days, Zhan Hui restrained his smile and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He admitted seriously, "This time, I did underestimate Your Majesty. You can be flexible and aggressive, able to kill people and intimidate everyone, but you can also control yourself. This is what is most valuable."

"Greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and lust... these are all human nature. Often, these emotions can lead to insanity. But despite your youth, Your Majesty has already been able to break free from these influences. His vision and perspective... are rare among ordinary people."

Zhan Hui said with a faint smile.

This is also the reason why he had been so nervous before.

It is very difficult for a person to calm down once he is angry. During this period of time, one imperial edict after another was issued, each one killing people and drawing blood. This can only be done when one is extremely angry.

Listen to what Zhan Hui said.

Fu Youwen also put away the joking expression on his face and nodded, saying, "Yes... For some time now, I have always felt that Your Majesty and the late emperor are very similar. They both hate corruption, are murderous, and are fierce and decisive... But now it seems that they are not so similar anymore."

"If this kind of thing happened to the late emperor..."

"I'll have to kill it in one go, cleansing my eyes of all the filth and filth I've seen, venting all the anger in my heart, before I'll stop. His Majesty... is much calmer than the late emperor!"

Fu Youwen's eyes were also filled with infinite emotion.

The two people's experiences, knowledge, minds, insights... are all top-notch. They have seen too much in the ups and downs of officialdom.

It is precisely because he has seen so much that he finds Zhu Yunhuan's completely unexpected behavior particularly unbelievable.

But of course they were very happy about this.

Only by knowing how to restrain oneself can one achieve long-term success. Only when the ruler of a country has a clear mind can the Ming Dynasty go further.

After a moment of silence.

The two smiled at each other, and Zhan Hui picked up the teapot on the table and slowly filled the empty cups in front of them with tea.

The room is located on the side of the outer hall of Zuiyue Tower.

The sounds of shouting, noise, and joy became louder and louder. Even though the room was well soundproofed and the doors and windows were tightly closed, one could still faintly hear some of them from inside the room.

"Come on! Drink!"

"We're all in a good mood today! We won't go home until we're drunk! We won't go home until we're drunk!"
