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

Now let’s talk about the Huang Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited until Zhu Di left the main courtyard and Lu Wei came in to refill his pot of tea before he took out the stack of intelligence he had put in his arms.

But the first time he looked down, he couldn't help but frown slightly:

"what?"

"Several more batches of death row prisoners were sent to the Alchemy Department?"

"Tsk... How much does this brat intend to put into his alchemy department?" Zhu Yuanzhang showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

Jiang Li was ordered to keep an eye on Zhu Yunhuan's every move, so Zhu Yuanzhang was not unaware of the Alchemy Bureau's previous use of death row prisoners. It was just that the scale of the practice was not very large before, but after this year, it became increasingly severe.

In addition to dissatisfaction, there is also confusion - the situation in the Alchemy Bureau is becoming more and more outrageous.

I heard Zhu Yuanzhang's complaints.

Lu Wei also took a deep breath and got goose bumps all over his body. This kind of horrifying thing...

Not to mention the teenager who had been trapped in the Eastern Palace for many years, even a Jinyiwei like him who had been on the battlefield and seen life and death could not help but feel a chill down his spine.

Lu Wei bared his teeth and thought to himself, "For a so-called elixir, so-called immortality... His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture is truly ruthless!"

He couldn't help but stare at the distant sky, imagining what the new emperor of Yingtian Prefecture looked like: a teenager, wise, strategic, scheming, and resourceful, yet also willful and obsessed with alchemy and immortality...

He clearly had a benevolent heart, but he was also a ruthless killer, ruthless enough to not regard human life as human, throwing batches of people into the alchemy furnace...

I pondered for a while.

Lu Wei pouted and shook his head. "I can't imagine what the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty looks like or what kind of person he is... It's truly unimaginable!"

While he was thinking, he even heard the Hongwu Emperor beside him, who was known for his tyranny and ruthlessness, shaking his head and sighing:

"How could such a young child be so obsessed with such a thing? He's trying to make elixirs for immortality and doesn't take human life seriously at all!"

"It's against the harmony of nature... This approach is truly against the harmony of nature."

Well, "it's against the harmony of nature."

Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously thought of this word.

Hearing this, Lu Wei's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he silently criticized in his heart: "Your Majesty, how much blood is on your hands? In the past, it was all right to conquer the world, but in the twenty-five years of the Ming Dynasty, you have been killing people in large and small cases one after another. Do you really treat human life as human life?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang blurted out this word, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he immediately figured out why. He smiled with relief and said, "Oh, I never thought that one day I would be able to say this word from my own mouth."

After all, this word was used by others to persuade him before.

But today he used it to complain about others.

It's a bit awkward.

"Your Majesty has become much calmer now, and he is quite self-aware." Lu Wei shrugged quietly and complained in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "This little wolf cub is really like me in this respect. It's just that... I, Zhu Yuanzhang, built the Ming Dynasty from scratch and had to maintain its reputation. Therefore, I often had to be ruthless. Even if most people don't say it, I know they will call me a tyrant in their hearts. But you... what can I say about you?"

Just as Monk Daoyan said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not a person who took human life seriously. The fact that those death row prisoners were making elixirs was not enough to make him angry or anything. At most, he would just sigh and complain.

As for the huge cost of alchemy and the worries about the future of the Ming Dynasty.
