Ming Dynasty, the 31st year of Hongwu (the first year of Jianwen), leap May.

The official office of Prince Yan.

"Crown Prince Yiwen was posthumously honored as Emperor, with the posthumous title Kang, temple name Xingzong, and title Emperor Xingzong Kang. His birth mother, Lady Lu, was honored as Empress Dowager. His three brothers, Zhu Yunhuan, Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunxi, were respectively named Prince of Wu, Prince of Heng, and Prince of Xu."

"It is only natural that a new emperor should be honored and rewarded posthumously upon ascending the throne."

"Before my father left, he said that the princes of various places were not allowed to bring troops to Beijing for funerals without orders. Zhu Yunwen changed it to that they could not return to Beijing without bringing troops."

"Being timid at first and adding unnecessary details at the end...it must be the scholars who are ruining the country."

"Master, you are so smart."

Zhu Di put down his last chess piece. Although he was sad that his father was gone, he would stop crying after a while.

The stupidity of the people around his nephew made him feel a lot more relieved.

"The prince's chess is getting better and better."

Monk Daoyan sighed as he looked at the black and white chess pieces entangled with each other on the chessboard.

"What's the point of being good at chess? Alas, I am stuck here and cannot move at such a good opportunity."

Zhu Di sighed and stood up.

They, the first generation princes of the Ming Dynasty, have now become the emperor's uncles.

And the Goryeo King Lee Seong-gye also became the Supreme King at this time.

In the 26th year of Hongwu, Goryeo came to pay tribute with horses. Lee Seong-gye's son Lee Bang-won came with the tribute envoy. When passing by Beiping, Zhu Di met him. They had similar personalities and had a very pleasant conversation.

At that time he was still a prince, but now he had become an uncrowned king who had supported a puppet emperor.

When the third brother passed away, there were changes in Goryeo. Now, only a few months have passed, and Goryeo has already completed the replacement of the throne.

"Goryeo is a real threat!"

Monk Daoyan knew very well who Zhu Di was talking about.

"Appreciate further details."

"A country of villains is fickle, treacherous, and unrighteous."

Monk Daoyan and Zhu Di had met Lee Bang-won together, and they felt that this man was extremely ambitious and was not an ordinary person.

Such a vassal state could be icing on the cake for the Ming Dynasty, but it would not be a timely help and might even add insult to injury.

"Yeah. Just a moment of emotion. He helped his brother up."

Zhu Di couldn't explain what he was thinking when he received the news. He always felt that he was inspired, but he was a little unclear where the inspiration was.

"Your Highness, you might as well think of Guo Wei of the Later Zhou Dynasty, who was wearing a yellow flag and turned back to attack."

Monk Daoyan saw Zhu Di's confused expression and pointed out a few key words.

"Hah!!! Great!!! In two years, his brother will abdicate, and he will be legitimate, right?"

Zhu Di understood it immediately.

"Of course."

Monk Daoyan nodded.

The two of them smiled knowingly, and Zhu Di changed the subject.

"Master, I wonder when my three sons will be able to come back?"

"The time has not come yet. However, I had a feeling last night that blessings are hidden in disasters."

"And Fu?"

Zhu Di was surprised.

"Can't see clearly."

"Ok."

"The grandson is already one year old."

Monk Daoyan asked again.

"Next month, but this year it's a leap May, so it will be a full year old. It's going to be very noisy."

When talking about his grandson, Zhu Di looked both proud and disgusted.

"Are you okay with words?"

"Three words, four words popped out."

"How about giving me one hour every day?"

"So early?"

"Not too early, not too early."

"Then I have to discuss it with my family first."

"hehe."

"Master, don't laugh when you see through it."

"What a sin—"

"The master has been very lively lately."

"Thank you so much——"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

[Small science: King Taejong of the Joseon Dynasty, Yi Bang-won (1367-1422), was the fifth son of King Taejo of the Joseon Dynasty. In the year when Zhu Yuanzhang died, he overthrew the crown prince Yi Bang-seok, who was born to his father's favorite concubine, and made his brother Yi Bang-gwa (Jeongjong) a puppet emperor. A few years later, he overthrew Yi Bang-gwa as well. Yi Bang-won's son, Yi Ye, is the famous King Sejong the Great in Korean dramas.]
