Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 11 Wang Yue's Trip to Fengyang
Silent all night.

The next day, Zhu Yunwen ordered someone to call Ge Cheng early in the morning.

"Your Majesty!" Ge Cheng came to Zhu Yunwen and knelt down.

Zhu Yunwen stepped forward and helped Ge Cheng up, smiling: "Ge Qing, there is no need to be so polite, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ge Cheng thanked him and stood up.

Looking at Zhu Yunwen's attitude, he became more and more certain that his choice to join Zhu Yunwen was the right decision.

"Did Ge Qing rest well last night?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I had a very good rest last night."

"Just get some rest. I'm worried that Ge Qing might not be able to adapt to the new situation after just returning to Yingtian Prefecture."

"No, to be honest, Your Majesty, last night was the most peaceful night I've slept in all these years."

After some pleasantries, the two of them got down to business.

Although Zhu Yunwen appeared to be very enthusiastic, Ge Cheng was not stupid. He knew that the main reason why Zhu Yunwen acted like this was because he had Zhu Di, a serious threat to him.

Therefore, when he decided to join Zhu Yunwen, he had already decided that he must assist Zhu Yunwen in getting rid of Zhu Di, so as to increase his status in Zhu Yunwen's heart through this merit.

"Your Majesty, if you need my help in any way, please feel free to tell me. It is my fortune to be able to share your worries." Ge Cheng said seriously.

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then he patted Ge Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Ge Qing, since you said so, I won't hide it anymore. I hope you can return to your fourth uncle's side."

"Ah?" Ge Cheng's eyes froze, a little surprised.

He has now defected to Zhu Yunwen. If he returns to Beiping at this time, he would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. The risk factor is very high and he could lose his head if he is not careful.

Zhu Yunwen knew his request was excessive, so he immediately took out the large pancake he had prepared in advance and said, "Ge Qing, you know I'm currently reducing the power of the feudal lords, and it's already showing initial results. However, Fourth Uncle is the biggest obstacle to this reduction. If you can help me reduce Fourth Uncle's power, then when the merits are awarded later, you will be the first to receive the credit!"

"First merit!" A gleam of light flashed in Ge Cheng's eyes. After pondering for a moment, his expression became firm and he said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to return to Beiping and monitor the Prince of Yan for Your Majesty!"

From the beginning to the end, he had a very clear understanding of himself.

He is different from Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai.

As a person who defected from Zhu Di's army, he had to make great enough contributions to have a place by Zhu Yunwen's side.

Although returning to Peking is very dangerous, it is also an opportunity.

Zhu Yunwen has made it clear that if the reduction of the feudal system is successful, he can get the main credit!

He had carefully analyzed the issue of reducing the power of the princes, and Zhu Yunwen attached great importance to it.

The first achievement in reducing the power of the feudal lords.

This achievement was enough to allow him to gain a firm foothold beside Zhu Yunwen, and perhaps even compete with Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai.

"Okay, Mr. Ge, I was right about you!" Zhu Yunwen smiled and patted Ge Cheng's shoulder heavily.

Planting a thorn next to Zhu Di and keeping an eye on his every move would allow him to be more calm when dealing with Zhu Di later.

From the beginning to the end, Zhu Yunwen did not think that the campaign to reduce the power of the princes would fail.

First, the foundation Zhu Yuanzhang left him was very good, and second, he was very confident in his abilities.

Therefore, what he was considering was how to successfully carry out the reduction of the power of the princes without any harm, so as to prove to the civil and military officials in the court that Zhu Yuanzhang's choice of him as the successor was not a foolish one, but an extremely clear choice.

"Your Majesty, Nanny Wang from the Queen Mother's office requests an audience!" Wang Yue walked over and said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Ge Cheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if you have no other instructions, I will withdraw first."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, smiling, and said, "Go ahead. There's no rush to return to Beiping. Stay in Yingtian Prefecture for two days first."

"Yes!" Ge Cheng nodded, bent down and left.

Zhu Yunwen watched Ge Cheng leave. After his figure disappeared, he waved to Wang Yue and said, "Bring him here!" "Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Yue nodded.

After a while.

Nanny Wang came over and knelt before Zhu Yunwen, saying, "Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Zhu Yunwen waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunwen looked at Nanny Wang and asked, "My mother asked you to come here. What's the matter?"

"The Queen Mother asked Your Majesty, when will you set off on the Fengyang matter?" Nanny Wang asked respectfully.

Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment, then looked at Wang Yue standing beside him and said, "How are your preparations going? Can we set off now?"

Wang Yue said, "Your Majesty, I am ready and can set off at any time."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "In that case, go ahead and finish your work as soon as possible and come back soon."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Yue nodded and walked away.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Nanny Wang and said, "You saw everything, didn't you?"

Nanny Wang nodded.

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said, "Go and report to the Queen Mother."

Nanny Wang bowed, turned around and walked away.

"Zhu Yunhuan" Zhu Yunwen rubbed his temples, and the figure of Zhu Yunhuan flashed through his mind. Then, he shook his head and walked out of the palace, ready to deal with today's government affairs.

Fengyang high walls!

Zhu Yunhuan had no idea that the crisis was slowly approaching, and he was leisurely basking in the sun.

The plan was disrupted though.

However, he, a grandson of the emperor who was thrown behind the high walls of Fengyang, seemed to have been forgotten by everyone.

Zhu Yuanzhang's early death did not have any impact on his life.

Whatever life was like before, it is the same now.

"If Zhu Yuanzhang died early, I don't know if history would have changed. However, based on the series of things Zhu Yunwen has done so far, I guess Zhu Di will rebel in the end." Zhu Yunwen said to himself.

In the current situation, the only exception is Zhu Yuanzhang's early death, everything else remains unchanged.

Zhu Yunwen was still reducing the power of the princes, and the people he chose were the same as in history.

"If possible, I hope my fourth uncle can rebel earlier. In that case, maybe my twelfth uncle won't have to die." Zhu Yunhuan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the ending of Zhu Bo in history.

Too strong-willed.

Zhu Bai would rather die than be humiliated by Zhu Yunwen.

Although it is not explicitly stated in history, Zhu Bo's death certainly had a huge impact on Zhu Di.

It might even be the last straw that broke the camel's back for Zhu Di.

Zhu Bo was a brother raised by Zhu Di.

Although the two were not brothers from the same mother, the relationship between them was deeper than that between Zhu Su and Zhu Di, who were brothers from the same mother.

Such brotherhood.

How could Zhu Di remain indifferent to Zhu Bo's tragic death?
