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

He also gathered his thoughts and focused his gaze, saying, "I understand what Master Daoyan means. Let's take one step at a time, steadily and carefully."

"If this creates a rift between Zhu Yunhuan and the people behind him, it will be God's help to me. Even if I can't ultimately separate these two, the court will still have some flaws. Moreover, we can soon draw the card of the Huaixi nobles! This card is a sure thing."

"Besides, the Huaixi nobles are already showing signs of losing their temper. They can use a corruption case and Liu Sanwu to counter this time, but what will they do next time? Haha."

Zhu Di's eyes were as sharp as those of a wolf or a tiger, looking sharply towards the south.

If he advances, he can stir up trouble in Yingtian Prefecture. If he retreats, he has the Huaixi nobles as a backup. What can he lose?

Regarding Zhu Di's words.

Monk Daoyan remained silent and said nothing more.

Or rather, his silence was actually an acknowledgement: after the flaw appeared, this time, the advantage was in Peking! Advancing could afford a significant advantage, and retreating wouldn't be a panic.

The two have known each other for ten years.

Zhu Di naturally understood the style of Monk Daoyan, and he felt secretly delighted, as if all the previous haze had been swept away.

He smiled, looked at Monk Daoyan, and invited him, "Today is the first day of the lunar month, an auspicious time. Master Daoyan, would you like to play a game of hand with me?"

Come to think of it, he hadn't played chess for quite some time.

Mainly because this period of time has been so terrible.

On the chessboard of "The World", he didn't know how much territory he had lost, so naturally he lost interest.

Now there is a turning point.

The interest also came along with it.

Monk Daoyan said, "That's exactly what I meant." Although he treated everything as a game, he couldn't afford to lose consecutive games, right? Now that he had finally played a favorable game, he was in a good mood.

Xu Miaoyun, who had been sitting next to them without saying a word, immediately stood up and went to the side to help the two of them get the chessboard and chess pieces.

The two of them were under the lights at night.

He placed the chess pieces on the board with great interest.

"The situation on the chessboard has always been like this, changing rapidly. As long as you are patient and focused, you will always find the turning point. A temporary win or loss is not really a win or loss."

"Master Daoyan is a good teacher and a helpful friend. This king has benefited greatly from this."

"Back when Emperor Gaozu of Han was battling the Overlord of Chu for supremacy, he was defeated time and again. Despite repeated defeats, he fought again and again, rarely winning any major or minor battles. Yet, in the end, he still found a way to turn the tables and gave the Overlord of Chu a desperate end, surrounded by enemies on all sides."

"This is what happens when discussing the Dao on the chessboard."

“The chess game of ‘The World’ is just like that.”

"..."

The night in Beiping Prefecture is extremely quiet, but within the flickering dim lights, people are discussing the world.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Yingtian Prefecture and Beiping Prefecture are thousands of miles apart. Zhu Yunhuan naturally didn't know that there were people in Beiping Prefecture who wanted to alienate him and himself.

During the Chinese New Year.

Whether it was Yingtian Prefecture or the imperial court, the pace of government slowed down with this festival celebrated throughout the country.

Zhu Yunhuan had a rare few days of leisure.

When I have nothing to do, I go for a walk or a stroll along the Qinhuai River. Occasionally, I go to the temple fair with Xu Miaojin and eat folk delicacies. I feel very comfortable.

Until the fourth day of the New Year.

The entire court then gradually began to return to its previous rhythm, and the number of memorials on the Dragon Desk gradually increased.

but.

Although the New Year holidays are much more relaxing, such a large state apparatus inevitably has a lot of government affairs accumulated.

On this day, Zhu Yunhuan simply called together the six ministers including Zhan Hui, Fu Youwen, Qin Kui, etc. to discuss the matter and solve all the complicated and trivial matters accumulated during the New Year period at one time.

"Your Majesty. Now that the reign title has been officially changed, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory should formulate a new calendar and distribute it throughout the country to unify the chronology and demonstrate the virtue of Heaven." Minister of Rites Ren Hengtai stepped out and said.

Zhu Yunhuan sat behind the dragon desk.

His expression was somewhat numb, and his voice was somewhat bored: "Sure."

"In addition to this, an imperial decree should be issued, ordering all provinces, prefectures, states, and counties across the country to use the new era name for official seals and official documents, and the old era name documents should be gradually abolished." Ren Hengtai said immediately.

Zhu Yunhuan remained expressionless and continued, "Yes."

"What sin have I committed... As expected, homework that I missed during the holidays will have to be made up sooner or later when school starts again."

After saying that, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

At the end of the day, even though he was young and strong and full of energy, he was almost drained by the pile of trivial matters. He now had a sense of impending miracles, a pen on the last night of the holiday.
