The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 683 A prosperous scene unfolds before our eyes

Faced with doubts and concerns, Zhu Xiong Ying did not back down and responded to each question rationally and forcefully.

When those who had doubted him saw Zhu Xiong Ying's resolute expression and Lin Qi Ming's groundbreaking research results, they couldn't help but waver.

Ultimately, Zhu Xiong Ying's efforts successfully persuaded more court officials.

His speech garnered widespread support both inside and outside the court.

The calls for reform spread like wildfire, growing louder and louder across the entire Ming Dynasty.

The night was deep, a few stars were faintly visible, and moonlight shone through the window onto Zhu Xiong Ying's desk.

He sighed softly, then walked to the window and surveyed the tranquil capital.

"The old forces are still causing trouble, and it seems that more forceful measures are needed."

He pondered silently in his heart.

The next morning, as sunlight streamed into the main hall, Zhu Xiong Ying, dressed in formal attire, calmly entered the Ming Dynasty court.

Beside him, Lin Qiming followed closely, his eyes revealing determination.

They had just received news that the old forces, unwilling to accept their defeat in the court, were beginning to stir up discontent in the provinces, posing a new challenge to the reforms.

"My lords, many rumors have been circulating in the area recently,"

Zhu Xiong Ying spoke, his voice steady, "This is an unprecedented danger, and we must take action."

"Your Highness is right,"

An older official agreed, saying, "If it is not dealt with promptly, it may undermine the implementation of the new law."

Lin Qiming took over the conversation and described the practical effects of piloting new technologies in some places, presenting them to the ministers like illustrations.

“These changes are real and tangible; the people can see and feel them. We need to spread these examples throughout the Ming Dynasty to dispel misunderstandings.”

At this moment, a glint flashed in Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes. "I will personally go to see my grandfather and ask for his support in fully implementing the reforms. At the same time, I believe that all the officials who are loyal to the reforms are also willing to participate in this transformation."

Faced with Zhu Xiong Ying's composure and confidence, several ministers who had previously adopted a wait-and-see attitude expressed their willingness to provide assistance.

With more and more supporters joining in, the prospect of reform seems to be emerging from the fog.

A few days later, Zhu Xiong Ying received a reply from his grandfather in a secret letter. The letter was full of affirmation and encouragement for his decision, and attached was an imperial edict to delegate power to support reforms on a larger scale.

"We cannot afford to fail again this time,"

In a secluded room at night, Zhu Xiong Ying spoke to several local and neighboring officials.

"Don't worry, Your Highness,"

A young official stepped forward, his eyes unwavering. "We all know the benefits of the new law, and the people will certainly see them too."

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled slightly, her heart filled with hope and anticipation.

He saw that the candlelight on the wall was flickering slightly, but the light was becoming more and more firm.

As time went by, Lin Qiming began to visit various places frequently.

Thanks to his efforts, more and more people are willing to try new technologies.

“I used to worry that these things were unreliable, but now it seems that new technologies can really help us.”

A villager said to Lin Qiming, a hopeful smile appearing on his face.

At the same time, Zhu Xiong Ying also continuously promoted capable and loyal officials to increase the internal driving force for reform.

The doubts of the past have gradually been replaced by trust, the public response has become increasingly positive, and the destructive power of the old forces has been gradually weakened.

Ultimately, the reforms yielded remarkable results, with good news pouring in from all over the country. People were no longer bound by tradition; they not only saw hope but also experienced real change.

At the bustling Songjiang Port, a prosperous scene unfolds before your eyes.

Envoys from various countries arrived one after another aboard Qin ships, and preparations for Zhu Xiong Ying's long-planned international exchange conference were underway in a tense but orderly manner.

At the port, Lin Qiming was exchanging views in hushed tones with a security officer, while two soldiers meticulously inspected the cargo and personnel of ships entering and leaving the port. "Qiming, do you think security measures need to be strengthened?"

The official frowned.

"Absolutely,"

Lin Qiming said firmly, "Among these envoys are spies from enemy countries, and we cannot afford to be complacent in the slightest."

After confirming all the arrangements, Lin Qiming went straight to Zhu Xiong Ying's residence.

He knew that time was of the essence, especially after discovering the old forces' conspiracy.

He stepped into the study, where Zhu Xiong Ying was deep in thought, looking out the window.

"Lord Zhu, I've uncovered some information about the movements of the old forces,"

Lin Qiming reported straightforwardly, handing over a detailed intelligence report.

Zhu Xiong Ying quickly glanced at the document, a hint of worry in her eyes, but more so, decisiveness and determination.

"We need to increase the vigilance of security officials and entrust key defense tasks to the most trustworthy people."

"I have made all the arrangements to ensure the conference goes perfectly."

Lin Qiming echoed, his eyes filled with determination.

"well done."

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded slowly, pleased with Lin Qi Ming's quick thinking.

A few days later, the international exchange conference arrived as scheduled.

Inside the hall, the lights were dazzling, and envoys from various countries were dressed in their finest attire.

Zhu Xiong Ying stood in the center and enthusiastically told the envoys about the achievements of the reforms. He used a series of detailed data and charts to show the progress of the Ming Dynasty, which drew frequent nods from the attendees.

"I never imagined these changes would be so obvious,"

An envoy from the south remarked privately, "When we return, we should learn from his example."

Meanwhile, the old guard members lurking inside and outside the venue, though harboring ill intentions, were completely suppressed by Zhu Xiong Ying's meticulous security plan and could hardly move an inch.

As the conference progressed, Lin Qiming and his security team successfully located and arrested those who were plotting trouble.

"These old guard really think they can cause destruction silently,"

After successfully making the arrest, Lin Qiming said with relief, "Luckily we made preparations in advance."

The conference concluded successfully, and the envoys, laden with achievements, departed from the Ming Dynasty with amazement and anticipation.

This achievement undoubtedly further solidified Zhu Xiong Ying's position in the reform movement.

After the conference ended, as night fell, Zhu Xiong Ying and Lin Qi Ming stood in the study. Through the window, they could see the bright moonlight shining on the bamboo grove in the courtyard. Both of them were silently immersed in the joy of this success.

"Although the conference concluded successfully, the old forces remain a hidden danger that cannot be ignored."

Zhu Xiong Ying broke the silence, her voice filled with deep thought.

"Indeed, their influence remains, and we cannot let our guard down."

Lin Qiming nodded in agreement, knowing full well that the danger was far from over.

"I plan to convene a think tank to discuss some new economic policies and social measures. Only by improving people's living standards will our reforms gain wider support."

Zhu Xiong Ying’s eyes gleamed with determination; he knew that the will of the people was the strongest fortress.

Lin Qiming nodded, "In this way, not only can everyone's confidence in the reform be enhanced, but the situation can also be further stabilized."

Then, Zhu Xiong Ying turned to his desk, picked up a newly released intelligence report, and said, "I have noticed that there are still people in the south trying to rebuild their power. This situation must be contained as soon as possible."
