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

"Father, I'm a simple-minded son who doesn't think too much. The only thing I care about... is that the Ming Dynasty will be well-off; that the Zhu family's Ming Dynasty foundation won't fall into the hands of others; that as long as you, Father, are still here, you will be the future of the Ming Dynasty; you have diligently managed the Ming Dynasty, and it shouldn't end so peacefully!!"

"My son also admitted that this method was a bit too extreme."

"But I only wish the best for you, my father, and for the Ming Dynasty! If you think I'm wrong for what I did, I will accept your punishment!"

"But my son still has to ask for help from my father."

"If that person from Yingtian Prefecture knew about this, he would really take action against the descendants of my Zhu family! I beg you, Father, to reconsider!"

It has to be said that Zhu Di was still extremely calm. He made the matter trivial in just a few words, as if he really had no selfish motives at all.

At the same time, he also raised the most critical point that he should pay most attention to - don't let this matter reach Yingtian Prefecture!

Where there is life, there is hope.

What if my father really couldn't help himself and secretly reported this matter to Yingtian Prefecture? They would not let him down and would just kill him and he would be finished - well, the most important thing right now is his life.

Zhu Di knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang in a cold sweat.

I was just thinking about how to play this meager family card when I heard the pacing ahead stop. My father sat back down on the recliner and said, "Think twice? Think twice about what? You've thought so much about me, why should I bring this up in Yingtian Prefecture?"

"Father, although I..."

Zhu Di thought he would be scolded again, and the prepared words came out immediately, ready to play the family card, but he stopped abruptly after saying a few words.

He stood up, looked up, stared at Zhu Yuanzhang with wide eyes in disbelief, and opened his mouth in confusion: "Huh??"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious after reading the letter sent to Yingtian Prefecture. He understood that he was simply scheming and creating problems for his beloved grandson. Why did he bring this matter to Yingtian Prefecture? Wasn't it because you were biased and even looked down on me?

However, his father actually agreed with the statement of "being sincere and working for the Ming Dynasty and for the Hongwu Emperor", which made Zhu Di dumbfounded.

All the drafts of speeches I had in mind were useless.

My brain almost shut down.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled indifferently: "What?"

Zhu Di swallowed his saliva, clenched his fists in his sleeves, and pricked his palms with his nails to force himself to calm down. He said, "Father, you are not..."

Aren't you determined to let that kid Zhu Yunhuan sit on the throne?

Not only are you partial to your elder brother, but you are also partial to his son?

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

However, he didn't dare to speak these words out loud, instead he only hinted cautiously: "Your Majesty's meaning...I don't quite understand..."

This is the truth, he really didn't understand.

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, overturned many of his previous statements and remarks, and said:

"The Huaixi nobles are a cancer and must be dealt with. Isn't that right?"

"Is it appropriate that we, the Hongwu Emperor, are still alive, but others think we are dead? This is not appropriate."

"The supreme power in the world can only be in the hands of our Zhu family..."

“That’s right!”

Yes, he directly affirmed what Zhu Di said today.

However, it was difficult for people to notice that whether Zhu Di was sincere or insincere, he said a lot in his speech just now, and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with it, but he deliberately avoided the topic of "who will be the emperor".

It was the past, but the situation now has subtly changed compared to before - Zhu Yuanzhang also wants to pick up the title of Hongwu Emperor again.

And Zhu Di has always... hoped that he could become the Hongwu Emperor again.

Time has changed.

What Zhu Di and the monk Daoyan were thinking and doing...now exactly matched what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking at the moment!

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is ready to reappear.

And the biggest prerequisite for successfully accomplishing this was only one: the little wolf cub from Yingtian Prefecture and the group of Huaixi nobles who appeared to support and protect him, but were actually eyeing the huge benefits... turned against each other and broke up!

Zhu Di and that troublemaker monk are pushing this matter forward.

The only difference between the two is...

Zhu Yuanzhang's dual purpose was just to teach his eldest grandson Zhu Yunhu, who "became arrogant after making some achievements and started to act recklessly without listening to others", a lesson, and then to train him personally for three or two years before handing over the Ming Dynasty to him in a stable manner.

Zhu Di's expectation was that after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor again, he would look at him and pass the throne to him rightfully, and everyone would be happy.

He also hoped that the Huaixi nobles and the little wolf cub would turn against each other, so why would he stop this?

and so……

Zhu Yuanzhang continued speaking directly along the lines of Zhu Di's words.

The more Zhu Di listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the faster his heart beat, almost jumping out of his throat.

"Father...has he changed his mind?"

"He said... everything I did was for him! He also wants to return to that chair in Fengtian Palace! Does that mean I..."

For a moment, a feeling of ecstasy surged into Zhu Di's mind.

He had never imagined that this matter could take such a dramatic turn!! Wouldn’t he be…???
