Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

"The only difference between the students in the world is their current situation. Before, they were well fed and well served in the Imperial Academy."

"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, they were all kicked out. Those students simply couldn't accept it."

"As long as we grasp this point firmly and let the rumor spread that those students have made a lot of achievements in society, His Majesty will pay more attention to them."

This method immediately won Zhu Di's favor. He planned it carefully and felt that it was indeed feasible.

Rumors have been circulating since ancient times that even Zhu Han had an extraordinary status in Yingtian Prefecture.

If others want to make a big fuss about this, it is indeed impossible to control it.

In that case, they decided to give it a try.

Zhu Di even thought that this method could really help him defeat Zhu Han.

Little do they know that the stupidity of this method is that it will make those students believe that they still have a place in Yingtian Prefecture.

"Now give orders to recruit all the students who were kicked out one by one, as long as they are willing to join my camp."

"I can provide them with food and shelter, so that they can shine in the imperial examination next year."

Zhu Di did what he said and quickly began to make some plans.

He followed the countermeasures he had thought of before.

The emperor has begun to slowly spread the word in Yingtian Prefecture, and all the students under his command will be able to find a place to stay.

The news that students could also serve as his advisers spread quickly in Yingtian Prefecture and attracted the attention of many students.

In Zuihua Pavilion, many students sparked a lot of discussion about Zhu Di's plan to provide them with a place to live to solve their food and accommodation problems.

"Your Highness the Prince of Yan really cares about the students in our country. He knows that many people are resentful after being kicked out."

"If he can help at this time, the students will definitely be very grateful to him."

"You are right. As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is extremely difficult to provide timely assistance. I am afraid that there are not many people in Yingtian Prefecture who can stand firmly on their feet now."

"His Royal Highness the King of England drove us all out this time. It's obvious that he wants to kill us all, but we are able to stay in Yingtian Prefecture. Isn't this a slap in his face?"

Some people have actually seen the clues in this. It would be a good thing if they could step forward and take in these students at the first opportunity.

But such a long time has passed, and Zhu Di suddenly appeared, which obviously wanted to make an enemy of Zhu Han.

Many students now only want to have a place to settle down. When something like this happens, they don’t want to have any other concerns.

More and more students came to Zhu Di's side.

Yueru saw everything that happened in Zuihua Pavilion clearly, and they used Zuihua Pavilion to gather information.

It has come in handy now.

He silently kept all the rumors he heard in his heart, waiting to tell Zhu Han everything when he came.

At this time, Furong walked to Yueru's side and looked at her meaningfully.

"Sister, when will the King of England be able to come to our Zuihua Pavilion again? It has been more than half a month."

"The prince has never come here once. Should we go find him in person? See if something has happened in the court again."

Furong deliberately tested Yueru's attitude, but she didn't expect Yueru to behave very calmly. He stared at Furong intently with a warm smile on his face.

"Your Highness can come and go as he pleases. This Zuihua Pavilion is also your property. None of us can stop you."

"Sister, although that's true, I can see that you have a crush on the prince. Why don't you work harder for yourself? What we women want is to be loved by men."

"The people in Zuihua Pavilion are just some talented and romantic men. How can they match my sister's beauty? I think my sister and the prince are the best match."

Yueru curled her lips and smiled, not taking Furong's words to heart.

He knew what his identity was, and he felt it was extremely important that Zhu Han could allow him to survive in Yingtian Prefecture.

Yueru didn't want to think about other things. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He also didn't want to make things difficult for Zhu Han.

"You are still young, don't be confused by these love affairs. Use your mind to tell your affairs and make arrangements as soon as possible. The prince will come naturally during the festival."

After Yueru finished speaking, she turned and left. Furong looked at the tear in the corner of Yueru's eye and sighed.

After Zhu Han arrived at the imperial study, he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was still checking the officials' attitudes towards Zhu Biao and Zhu Di in recent days.

Eunuch Wang quickly prepared a chair for Zhu Han and sat him in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Han with a frown.

From the memorials in their hands, the officials no longer took the current situation as seriously as before.

He also became perfunctory in handling court affairs, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry.

"These officials are really arrogant now. They think that by doing this, they can ignore the affairs of the court."

Zhu Yuanzhang said this angrily and threw the memorial aside.

Zhu Han quickly picked it up and put it on Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon table. Seeing how inquiring he was, Zhu Han seemed to have guessed a lot.

"Your Majesty, what you are most concerned about now is nothing more than the Crown Prince and the Prince of Yan, and their respective positions in the court."

"Right now, many officials are whispering in private, discussing the issue of establishing a crown prince."

It would have been better if Zhu Han didn't say anything. Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry after hearing what he said.

He slapped the table so hard that the people around him were so scared that they couldn't even breathe for fear of losing their lives.

Zhu Han turned around and glanced at the palace servants, then quickly asked them all to leave. Only Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were left in the imperial study.

"Brother, you and I have been through so many ups and downs from the beginning to where we are now. Only we two know clearly."

"No matter how much those people spread rumors, in my heart, the only prince you have chosen is Zhu Biao."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Han and nodded slightly. He had never changed his mind. Zhu Biao was his first son and had suffered a lot with him.

Everyone in the world knows this, and everyone knows that Zhu Biao has always been trained to be the crown prince.

But at some point the matter of deposing the crown prince suddenly became prevalent in Yingtian Prefecture.

Without exception, they all said that when they were on a secret visit, Zhu Biao did not manage the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner.
Many people here started to trip people up in secret.

Zhu Biao was such a smart man, but he didn't want to embarrass Zhu Yuanzhang, so he didn't tell him about this matter.

But over time, the true nature of those officials gradually became apparent.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally saw it as well.

"Brother, don't worry. They are just being bewitched. After all, the only person in Yingtian Prefecture who can compete with Zhu Biao is Zhu Di."

"How could I not know what kind of characters my two nephews are?"

After Zhu Han finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

He looked at Zhu Han and suddenly recalled all the efforts they had made in the past to ensure that the people of the world had enough food. They fought in all directions, shared meals and slept outdoors, and showed no mercy to the enemy.

They had achieved all of this step by step, but now such a thing happened in the world of Chile.

It seemed as if he was questioning all of Zhu Yuanzhang's decisions.

"Brother, you don't know what I miss the most now is the time when we went through hardships together. At that time, I didn't have to worry about major events in the court, nor did I have to worry about what would happen to the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"It is enough to just think that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but now, it has caused a lot of impact time and time again. If it continues like this, what will happen to the world at that time..."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was now old, and all matters of the court, big or small, would have to be handed over to Zhu Biao in the future.

The officials have always been dissatisfied with Zhu Biao, which is why such a disaster has now occurred.

He also didn't want to think about other people's affairs and how they would affect himself. Zhu Yuanzhang was smarter than anyone else.

Zhu Han naturally knew this too.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang calmly and chose to stand on Zhu Biao's side without hesitation.

In his opinion, Zhu Biao was Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved son and he had been the crown prince since childhood.

Over the years in Yingtian Prefecture, everyone knows that the prince is kind and benevolent.

Even though many problems occurred, Zhu Biao always took responsibility for them, and when he was on incognito visits, he never acted in favoritism or corruption.

Even when there were problems with the imperial examination, he always handled them in an orderly manner.

"The prince has always taken the people's affairs to heart. He will never change his mind because of someone else's words."

"Children like this will be able to truly care for the people of the world in the future. Big brother, you have the answer in your heart, so there is no need to worry about anything else."

"I have already investigated the money that the Prince of Yan had in the Ministry of Revenue this time, and there is indeed a problem."

As soon as Zhu Han finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Han in surprise and his heart was shocked.

"Could it be that this is the fake account he and those officials made?"

Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that his temples began to throb.

Because of this sum of money, the Ming Dynasty caused a lot of influence, and some people even made bold statements.

As long as Zhu Di could raise this money, it would further prove his strength.

It now appears that this was a scam from the beginning.

If he had known this earlier, perhaps he would not have let this happen. At that time, he just thought that Zhu Di could indeed find a way to collect the money.

In the future, we won't have to worry about preparing food and fodder for the soldiers on the front line, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"That's right. I have ordered Wang An to investigate. The money was indeed recorded in the account book of the Ministry of Revenue."

"There was no extra person in the warehouse. This was obviously a scam."

Zhu Han took out an account book that Wang An had sent him, which contained very clear information.

In Yingtian Prefecture, the money they investigated and put into the treasury was just some small change.

It can be seen that Zhu Di did make money, but not as much as stated in the military order.

Zhu Han directly exposed Zhu Di's disguise in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I didn't want to expose this matter so early, but now many students in Yingtian Prefecture are making a fuss because they were kicked out of the Imperial Academy."

"I don't want to settle the matter anymore."

Zhu Yuanzhang had already known from his subordinates that Zhu Han had expelled students from the Imperial Examination Hall, and he believed that what Zhu Han did was somewhat reasonable.

This approach is indeed reckless.

Now, Zhu Han has promised in front of Zhu Yuanzhang that he will make a decision as soon as possible regarding the selection of students in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more. His eyes became inexplicably complicated as he looked at Zhu Han.

"Those students in the Imperial Academy do not have much ability, but as long as they study hard and get into a high school in the future, it will not be difficult."

"It's just that Wang An has already found these clues in the Ministry of Revenue this time. Why didn't he hand them over to me directly?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Han meaningfully, and Zhu Han could see the fear in his eyes clearly.

Zhu Han slowly knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and told him the whole story.

In fact, from the very beginning, Wang An wanted to hand this account book to Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was embarrassed by his personal feelings.

After all, Zhu Di is the son of Zhu Yuanzhang. If this matter does not go through Zhu Han's hands, Wang An is worried that it will be suppressed.

After all, from the very beginning when he entered the Ministry of Revenue, he had been harassed by many officials.

He is now able to investigate these things, and he has even risked his own life on it.

Zhu Di had never cooperated with him. If this matter was discovered by Zhu Di, it would be very easy to punish him or cause trouble for him.
But Wang An couldn't bear it any longer.

He was alone and helpless in Yingtian Prefecture. If Zhu Di continued to target him, the consequences would be disastrous.

Wang An was just thinking about protecting himself.

Zhu Han told Zhu Yuanzhang everything, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face became extremely ugly.

"Wang An'an is a very smart man. He knows that you and I are brothers. I will expose this matter. Even if the King of Yan wants to harm me, he has to save face for His Majesty."

Zhu Han’s words made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry.

When he looked at Zhu Han, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a suspicious person by nature, and what he hated to see most was the killing between fathers, sons and brothers.

But now, everything Zhu Di did was aimed at Zhu Biao.

Now I still have my eyes on Zhu Han. I can’t imagine what a mess this empire will be in if I am not sure about protecting it in the future.

"It seems that I was too kind to them in the past, and they actually did such a thing in private. If this matter is not investigated thoroughly, I really don't know what trouble these people will cause."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not someone who could tolerate such betrayal. Zhu Han listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words without any doubt.

It seems that it is time to teach Zhu Di a good lesson and let him know that the world cannot be seized by relying on such petty tricks.

He could never compare to Zhu Biao's kindness and concern for the people of the world.

"Someone, go and call the Crown Prince and Prince Yan back to me."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order without mercy.
