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

Prince Yan's Mansion, study.

Monk Daoyan and Zhu Di sat on either side of the chessboard.

The setting sun shone in obliquely through the wide-open window, casting long, oblique shadows on the staggered black and white chess pieces on the chessboard.

Monk Daoyan made his final move and said, with a hint of meaning, "Your Highness's chess style today gives people a sense of high spirits. Every move is sharp and incisive."

Zhu Di's mouth curled up with pride, his chin slightly raised. Zhu Di was obviously in a good mood: "A man in this world, whether in life or in chess, must not lose his sharpness and aggressiveness, otherwise how can he accomplish anything?"

Monk Daoyan chuckled and, while sorting the chess pieces on the board into two boxes according to their colors, he said calmly, "That's why I have always believed that Your Highness is a man who can accomplish things!"

Zhu Di laughed out loud and said, "Hahahaha! Master Daoyan knows me better than I do." There was a hint of emotion in his tone.

Ten years ago, it wasn't that he didn't want to think about it, but that he didn't dare to think about it, so no matter what, he could only remind himself over and over again: Don't think about it.

After so long, even he himself thought that he really didn't want to.

But Daoyan roughly figured it out.

Today, ten years later, Zhu Di can finally honestly admit his previously suppressed heart - that position will soon be within his grasp, so what is there to hide?

Monk Daoyan had no intention of taking credit for it. He just smiled faintly and lowered his eyes slightly: "I hope to help the prince ascend to the throne." He only cared about completing his game.

I heard the words "ascend to the great treasure".

Zhu Di's heart still beat slightly faster.

But at this time.

The sound of footsteps approached from afar... and finally stopped in front of the two of them. He bowed and said, "Your Highness, Master Daoyan, someone has arrived from the Huang Mansion. It's the one who often follows Master Huang."

"Lu Wei? Please come in."

Zhu Di was only slightly suspicious and then said, thinking that it should not be a big deal. After all, the most important thing was that it had been agreed upon in the Huang Mansion long ago.

The servant received the order, nodded to Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan, and then went to invite someone. A moment later, it was Lu Wei who came over. He clasped his fists and said, "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan!"

As for the troublemaker mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang, I don't have much respect for him.

Zhu Di asked with great interest, "Mr. Lu? What's the matter?"

Lu Wei pulled out a rather informal newspaper from his pocket, stepped forward, and handed it to Zhu Di, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Prince of Yan, also enjoys reading the newspapers from Yingtian Prefecture and always talks about them with great relish. Therefore, I have asked you to give your Highness the fifteenth issue, which hasn't been published yet, for your entertainment."

Hearing Lu Wei's words.

Both Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan had a flash of surprise in their eyes. After exchanging glances calmly, Zhu Di first remained calm and took the newspaper from Lu Wei's hand.

He said politely, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for thanking my father on my behalf."

Lu Wei nodded and said, "I'll take note of this."

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Wei and asked, "Mr. Lu, are you here with anything else that the emperor has instructed you to bring?"

Lu Wei smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, you have just returned from the palace. His Majesty must have already told you about the important matters. I am here only to deliver the newspaper."

"Oh." Zhu Di responded with some surprise.

Just to deliver a newspaper?

After confirming this, Zhu Di was still a little uncomfortable, and even felt awkward - usually when this guy came to his house, nothing good would happen.

Lu Wei clasped his fists again and said goodbye: "If Your Highness the Prince of Yan has no other words for me to convey to Your Majesty, I will take my leave and report to Your Majesty."

Zhu Di thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead. There's nothing else to do. Just serve closely and take good care of your father's health."

Lu Wei said: "This is my humble duty. I'll take my leave." After he finished speaking, he left Zhu Di's study.
