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

He knew very well how partial his father was. Not only was he partial to his eldest brother, but he was even partial to his eldest brother's son. Not long ago, he had plotted against him for the sake of that little boy.

The sudden change was what Zhu Di found most suspicious.

After much thought, it’s better to play straight.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression faltered for a moment, then he immediately began to act out his thoughts. He frowned and sighed deeply, saying, "Alas... I just... didn't watch him carefully for a moment! Who knows about him in Yingtian Prefecture..."

"Forget it, forget it!"

As he spoke, he showed a look of regret just right and slapped the armrest of the recliner heavily.

in a sense.

What he said was not acting. After all, he was really angry with Zhu Yunhun before, and it was indeed because of Zhu Yunhun's "messiness" that he changed his mind.

The difference between appearance and reality is only.

On the surface, it seems that something happened that made him angry and changed his mind, causing him to want to regain the throne and kick out Zhu Yunhuan, the puppet, and the people who stood behind him and stole the throne.

In fact, something happened that he could not tolerate, which changed his attitude towards Zhu Yunhuan from allowing him to control the Ming Dynasty to teaching him how to be emperor.

Nine parts true and one part false.

Zhu Yuanzhang's performance was flawless.

Zhu Di couldn't detect any clues either. He discreetly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and seeing that his expression didn't seem fake at all, he felt delighted and pondered, "Father hesitated when he said, 'Who knows he...' Was this 'he' Zhu Yunhuan? Or was it the person behind Zhu Yunhuan stirring up trouble? Father looks...very sad and disappointed."

"So... did something happen in Yingtian Prefecture that broke Father's bottom line? Did it make him unable to tolerate it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would hide nine parts and one part, and tailored a set for Zhu Di.

Zhu Di immediately got in on it, followed Zhu Yuanzhang's performance, and came up with the ideas that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted him to have.

Seeing the joy on Zhu Di's face, Zhu Yuanzhang remained expressionless, but in his heart he was secretly certain, muttering to himself, "Huh! Are you plotting against me? I'll just use this scheme to make you happy for now, and then... hehe!"

Zhu Yuanzhang’s thoughts.

Zhu Di naturally didn't notice anything at all. Firstly, Zhu Yuanzhang was almost telling the truth, and secondly, Zhu Di had already begun to immerse himself in joy.

However, Zhu Di was not a frivolous person.

Zhu Di always remained vigilant towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I'll have to ask Master Daoyan to investigate further later!"

"If something truly outrageous happened in Yingtian Prefecture, then this matter... is only 90% true!"

He still didn't dare bet on his father's partiality—who knew if this biased father...was plotting something against him for his precious grandson again? This kind of thing had happened before!

Think of this.

Zhu Di secretly took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing all the contradictory and complex emotions in his heart, such as ecstasy, excitement, suspicion and vigilance, and just believed what Zhu Yuanzhang said completely.

He immediately clasped his fists, feigning an air of utter loyalty, and said, "Since Father is unwilling to discuss this, I will not ask any further questions. Regardless, I only know one thing: you are the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what you decide to do, I will protect you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth.

He secretly curled his lips, "This sly fellow! We said earlier that we'd let that little wolf cub become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so why didn't he just go along with us? And he even started arguing with us?"

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is now also waiting for the Huaixi nobles to make a move. In the future, he will take advantage of the situation to use Zhu Di's troops and his prestige as a prince... and so on. Naturally, he will not show these at this time.
