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

Chapter 1400

The more anxious and agitated one's father is, the more advantageous the situation is for oneself.

He said cheerfully, "Alright, Father, how could I not obey your command? I will immediately write a few letters and send them to the generals of the garrisons below."

After saying this, he clasped his hands in a salute to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Father, please wait a moment." Then he turned and went into a hall behind him.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze naturally fell on the monk Daoyan, sharp and piercing: "Is it all because of you, you troublemaking monk? I really didn't expect you to actually have the ability to stir up this pile of shit of Huaixi nobles!"

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's direct gaze, even the monk Daoyan felt a moment of panic.

However, he then calmly raised one hand to his palm, glanced at Zhu Di inside the hall, and said, "His Highness the Prince of Yan certainly has the qualities of a great emperor, and as for the temperament of the young emperor in Yingtian Prefecture... I suppose Your Majesty has already made up your mind, right? Otherwise, why would you have imposed such a strict blockade on the Prince of Yan's residence and the entire city of Beiping more than a month ago?"

"What a wonderful, subtle plan it was! His strategist had everything planned out, but he was too eager for quick success and let it slip. Now Your Majesty has to clean up his mess and cover up the eyes and ears of Prince Yan and this humble monk."

"Unfortunately, the truth will eventually come out."

"His Highness the Prince of Yan has guarded Beiping for many years, and his bravery goes without saying. When the young emperor ascended the throne, he immediately humbled himself and waited patiently until now..."

"Which is better or worse is self-evident and I need not say anything about it."

Now that both sides have made their intentions clear, and the monk Daoyan is even more certain that the Hongwu Emperor has no choice but to rely on Zhu Di's side, his words are naturally straightforward and blunt, without any restraint.

Hearing the monk Daoyan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang found it somewhat amusing: "Strategist... who is better... ha!... humph!"

He certainly wouldn't agree with what the monk Daoyan said.

The other party is stuck in their own limitations. From the very beginning, they looked down on their own grandson. Even now, they still think that everything that happened before was a scheme devised by a fictitious "strategist," and they're even commenting on who was better or worse... This is even more ridiculous.

He had no intention of letting this troublemaking monk know these truths for the time being.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, he stopped arguing with the monk Daoyan about the matter.

The monk Daoyan thought that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't argue with him, so he raised his eyebrows and a smug look appeared on his lips—even the Hongwu Emperor had to admit that only the person he had chosen was worthy of being the future emperor of Taiping!

A short while later, Zhu Di also came out of the main room, holding several transfer orders that he had personally written and stamped.

His face couldn't hide his smugness.

He handed several transfer orders to the monk Daoyan: "Please ask Master Daoyan to go outside the courtyard and instruct someone to deliver these transfer orders to the various garrisons under my command."

After more than a decade of planning, the time has finally come to reap the rewards.

Daoyan the monk was naturally happy to do this errand, and nodded slightly as he accepted the orders: "Alright, Your Highness may simply wait in the open space on the outskirts of Beiping City."

After saying this, he nodded to Zhu Yuanzhang in acknowledgment and headed out of the courtyard.

Watching the departing figure of the monk Daoyan.

Zhu Di nodded confidently, then clasped his hands and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, as if showing off his achievements in guarding the border for ten years, and said: "Father, do not worry. The men under my command have followed me to quell countless large and small disturbances in the northern deserts. They will surely help you march south and win back Yingtian Prefecture."

After Zhu Di finished speaking...

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him, which surprised Zhu Di, who was bowing respectfully. When he looked up, he found that his father was pulling out a few thorny branches from the flower bed next to him.

"We were in a rush just now, we didn't have the time or energy for that."

"Right now... there's time!" Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed a handful of thorny strips of paper and walked toward Zhu Di.

Seeing this familiar scene that seemed so familiar.

Zhu Di's smile froze instantly. He licked his lips in alarm, swallowed hard, and stammered, "Father...Father Emperor..."

"Father...Father, what are you...doing?"

Before this.

Zhu Di never imagined that, after eleven years in his fiefdom and already quite old, he would one day receive another beating from his own father.

That's absolutely outrageous!!!
