Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

At Hu Weiyong's residence, Hu Weiyong was eagerly awaiting good news.

The arrow had already been shot, and he was confident that the outcome would not disappoint him.

This time, it was a decisive blow from his side!

At this point, there was a very high probability that Zhu Yuanzhang's head had already been cut off by Lin Xian and his men.

Lin Xian and his group are quite capable.

This time, in particular, the fact that they had already persuaded Mao Xiang, a key figure in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was a stroke of genius.

Mao Xiang was a very ambitious and utilitarian person.

He wanted to climb higher, and I gave him that opportunity in return.

If he can accomplish this task, he will become a Duke, someone who will live and die with the nation.

He had great confidence in Mao Xiang and did not feel that Mao Xiang was just going through the motions.

He also didn't think Mao Xiang would betray him.

Because he also preserved some evidence of his relationship with Mao Xiang.

In addition, Mao Xiang had already gained his trust through his methods, proving his loyalty.

The fact that the emperor had planted the Embroidered Uniform Guard in his own residence was something he had told himself.

Furthermore, he clearly stated to himself who the Embroidered Uniform Guard was for.

After careful verification, he indeed discovered that Mao Xiang and the two people he had mentioned were indeed spies planted by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Knowing how ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang was, having planted the Embroidered Uniform Guard in his own residence, and knowing exactly who it was, many things became much easier to handle.

We could easily turn the tables on them.

He deliberately revealed a lot of things to those people, so that they would report them to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and then to Zhu Yuanzhang.

This was to let Zhu Yuanzhang know how reliable he, as prime minister, was.

How loyal they were to him.

This could greatly reduce Zhu Yuanzhang's vigilance.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang's decision to leave his prime minister in the capital while he went to Qingfeng Mountain is a prime example.

This is sufficient proof that my previous idea was correct.

The action was also correct.

You can see the trust he places in you, and how important you are to him.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do without him.

Although sometimes, I don't treat myself like a human being.

However, nowadays, this Ming Dynasty, besides being convenient and useful to me...

It wouldn't be so easy for anyone else to make him prime minister; they are far less likely to succeed than him.

Liu Bowen was in poor health and was getting old.

Although Li Shanchang is a good dog now, he was ultimately brought down by his own hands.

As the leader of the Huaixi nobles, Zhu Yuanzhang would never allow him to become prime minister again.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang, that scoundrel, always tried to both appease and punish him.

They felt that since he was the emperor, they should obediently listen to him, submit to his will, and let him do as he pleased.

What's with all this talk of thunder and rain? It's all just a bunch of imperial favors.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

If you kill your own son, he won't live either!

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang must have felt very good inside.

You must be incredibly surprised, right?

They died with their eyes wide open in disgrace, didn't they?
He thought he could control everything, he thought he was the emperor and he wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
He's completely wrong!

He overestimated himself too much!

This time, I'll leave him with a lasting memory!

……

The Northern Yuan emperor, Ayushiridara, looked at the man before him and the secret letter he presented.

I felt like I had been blessed with good fortune.

In truth, he had been thoroughly exasperated by the numerous inhumane things that Zhu Yuanzhang had done these past few days.

The mutual market established by Zhu Yuanzhang was like an invisible net, tightly trapping him and his Yuan Dynasty within it!
Now, as time goes on, this net is tightening more and more.

He was unable to move even if he wanted to struggle.

What's most distressing is that he did struggle during this process.

It's not that we haven't thought about breaking the deadlock.

However, this situation simply cannot be broken.

The more he struggled, the tighter the net entangled him, making him increasingly uncomfortable.

One thing in particular made him feel even worse.

That's Nahachu's side; they might actually have some ulterior motives!
He then ordered Nahachu to bring the heads of the Goryeo envoy and the Ming envoy who had fled to his side to meet him.

This is to prove his innocence.

However, not only did Nahachu fail to arrive on time, but he also delayed for several days, and he didn't bring their heads with him.

They came up with a particularly lame reason.

They said they had escaped and he couldn't find them.

Faced with such an outcome, he was utterly overwhelmed with emotion.

Nahachu is treating me like a child!

On his side, although he expressed trust and understanding towards Nahachu.

But in reality, the resentment in my heart has always remained.

How could they possibly not care or actually believe what he said?
He didn't believe that after such an important event had occurred at Nahachu's place, the people of Goryeo and the Ming Dynasty could simply escape.

There's no need to overthink this; it's highly likely that Naha Chu has truly harbored ulterior motives.

Nahachu is now the largest force in the Great Yuan Dynasty on the grasslands, besides the forces he directly controls.

And it turned out to be just like this.

This news was a huge blow to him.

It's true what they say: when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; when a drum is broken, everyone beats it!
Even Nahachu has harbored rebellious intentions!

Even now, the Prime Minister is still trying to convince himself not to dwell on this matter.

Do not fall into the enemy's trap.

Don't have too much doubt about Naha.

But... these thoughts lingered in his mind, and he couldn't shake them off.

He agreed on the surface, but there were some things that couldn't be investigated too deeply or thought about carefully.

The more I think about it, the more suspicious it seems.

That's why Naha has been here for more than half a month and has submitted his resignation twice, but I haven't agreed to let him go back.

Instead, they found various reasons to keep Nahachu by their side.

For this reason, she even arranged for her son to remarry.

They set the date for two months later, allowing Naha to stay and attend the wedding.

This is to make it difficult for Naha to return.

As for how to deal with Nahachu, he still doesn't have a conclusion in his mind.

Still hesitant.

However, it is undeniable that regardless of whether he detains Nahachu, beheads Anahatu, or allows Nahachu's son to succeed him,

We should send some people from our own side to bring Nahachu's side under our control.

The grasslands will certainly not be peaceful; even greater chaos will ensue!
In the past, when their Great Yuan Dynasty was still prosperous, he would never have hesitated so much or felt so troubled by these matters concerning Nahachu.

However, with the changing times, the Yuan Dynasty's strength was already very weak.

Zhu Yuanzhang tightened his grip on the net.

Their strength is limited, and every bit of it needs to be cherished, taken seriously, and managed frugally.

They, the Great Yuan, cannot afford to lose. If they lose again, they will truly have nothing left. They simply cannot afford to lose!
That's why he's so conflicted and cautious about the matter of Nahachu.

There was a certain degree of hesitation, like throwing a stone at a rat for fear of breaking the shell.

What he wanted was for their Great Yuan Dynasty to become stronger so that they could reclaim the Central Plains and other territories that belonged to them.

To recover lost territory.

Instead of letting the Yuan Dynasty fall into ruin and slide into the abyss.

While he was in such a state of distress and anxiety, Hu Weiyong sent someone to the area.

He said that his side was about to rebel and invited him to send troops to distract Zhu Yuanzhang.

He promised that once the matter was accomplished, he would return all the lands of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to his Great Yuan!

This news instantly broadened his horizons and filled him with excitement.

This is truly like someone bringing you a pillow when you're about to fall asleep!
He truly hadn't expected Hu Weiyong to be so audacious.

They actually dared to rebel against Zhu Yuanzhang!

What was even more unexpected was that Zhu Yuanzhang, who seemed so powerful and capable of suppressing everything, and the Ming Dynasty he established, were not as indestructible as they appeared.

There are also many internal problems and fierce struggles.

"I understand the purpose of your Prime Minister's visit. You have come from afar and must be very tired. Go down and have a good rest and some food."

I will give you a reply shortly.

After carefully asking the envoy sent by Hu Weiyong about various aspects.

Ayushiridara spoke these words to Huyung's messenger.

Upon hearing this, Hu Weiyong's envoy quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Ayushiridara to express his gratitude.

After Hu Weiyong's envoy left, Ayushiridara quickly got together with the Prime Minister, Grand Commandant Manzi, and others to discuss the matter.

I want to see what kind of rules the other party has.

After some discussion, they made a decision.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, it is a particularly good opportunity for them.

They were originally enemies of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's constant pressure on them was making things difficult for them.

Under such circumstances, this opportunity is one that cannot be missed.

We must take action!

If Hu Weiyong really wanted to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang, this would be the best thing to do.

Even if they hadn't assassinated Zhu Yuanzhang, this would still have been an opportunity for them.

They are perfectly capable of taking action.

Then, the letter sent by Hu Weiyong and the matters to be handled will be publicized.

This caused chaos within the pseudo-Ming dynasty.

This is called treating someone in their own way!

Since Zhu Yuanzhang's side is bringing up Nahachu.

They are being sown discord among them, making things so difficult for them.

Now that the opportunity has come, how could they possibly miss it?

Let Zhu Yuanzhang taste this flavor too!

Anyway, no matter how you look at it, this is a sure thing for them.

After discussion, they immediately summoned Hu Weiyong's envoy.

Tell him to go back and tell Hu Weiyong the news.

They said they were waiting for good news from Hu Weiyong and would cooperate with him.

They then joined forces to kill Zhu Yuanzhang and seize the Ming Dynasty.

However, they only sent their deputy envoy back.

The one who truly holds power, along with some others, remains here as hostages.

The people sent by Hu Weiyong were overjoyed at this situation.

There was no objection.

Some of the people on Hu Weiyong's side quickly returned and relayed the message to Hu Weiyong. The Northern Yuan also quickly took action.

We need to take some corresponding measures.

Beiyuan is taking this matter very seriously.

Grand Commandant Manzi personally led some troops, preparing to seize an opportunity to create some momentum and restrain Xu Da.

It was impossible to expect them to fight to the death here from the beginning.

We need to wait for definite news from the Ming Dynasty.

They will only take action and exert their efforts if Hu Weiyong really causes a major incident.

This time, no matter what, we must get a piece of the Ming Dynasty!
……

Even while in the military camp, Xu Da exuded a special aura, appearing refined and scholarly.

The entire army felt reassured because they knew of his presence.

At this moment, Xu Da had a smile on his face.

Hu Weiyong was incredibly audacious to actually intend to rebel.

Unfortunately, all his plans to rise to power failed!

This thing is truly damned!

They even went so far as to contact the Northern Yuan people, wanting them to take action against them.

Let's see if the Northern Yuan side has the guts to actually do such a thing.

Although he has now come to power, he has no intention of completely destroying the Northern Yuan.

But since Bei Yuan was acting unruly, he naturally wouldn't be polite either.

He had been waiting for Bei Yuan to show his face for a long time!
……

Inside the tent, Nahachu looked grim and uncertain.

After a while, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes...

……

"Tu Jielai accused Hu Weiyong of plotting a rebellion?"

Upon receiving this news, Li Wenzhong was taken aback and seemed somewhat surprised.

But it was just a slight surprise.

"Give him to me!"

……

"What are you doing? What are you going to do with me?"
"I haven't done anything wrong! I'm here to accuse Hu Weiyong of treason!"

Tu Jie cried out and struggled repeatedly.

Li Wenzhong's unexpected reaction left him somewhat bewildered.

In his original imagination, he had expected that the other side would turn against him at the last minute and then come over to deliver such tremendous news.

Li Wenzhong will definitely ask me to meet him as soon as possible for a detailed discussion.

Then some action was taken immediately.

But who would have thought that without saying a word, they would just take him!
"Are you here to inform on someone?"
You were involved in Hu Weiyong's rebellion!
Why would you need to inform on them? The higher-ups already know about your plot to rebel!

Li Wenzhong looked at Tu Jie coldly and said, his voice carrying a hint of mockery.

what?
Upon hearing this, Tu Jie froze on the spot! A chill ran through his entire body!

"Get him under control!"

Li Wenzhong spoke up, then stood up.

These people have already made their move, so now it's time to make a move on him too!

"You lead your troops straight to Hu Weiyong's residence and capture Hu Weiyong and his family!"

Not a single one can escape!
If even one of them escapes, you will be held responsible!

He gave the order, his face serious.

Instead, the person he gave the order to was none other than his son, Li Jinglong… (End of Chapter)
