Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Chapter 1301

After saying that, he solemnly looked at Yuan Tai and said, "Minister Yuan, I have said that you only need to do your job well, and I will take care of the rest. Now that you have accepted this decree, there is no need for you to hesitate any longer."

Zhu Yunwen's tone was unusually relaxed, even somewhat dismissive.

Yuan Tai suddenly realized: After more than a month, hadn't he gotten used to the changes in this Emperor Kaiqian?

Looking into Zhu Yunwen's unwavering gaze, Yuan Tai suddenly felt his anxious heart calm down: "That's right... His Majesty is not the inexperienced young emperor I previously thought. With his profound wisdom, how could he possibly miscalculate on such an obvious issue? On the contrary, perhaps I... have been overthinking it!"

Thinking of this, Yuan Tai's anxiety and hesitation subsided considerably.

His eyes hardened instantly: "I was overthinking it! Once Lord Zhuo returns to the capital, I will immediately impeach him in court!"

While talking.

Yuan Tai couldn't help but wonder, "What methods and means does His Majesty possess that allow him to be so confident in disregarding the noble families of Huaixi?"

However, he remained puzzled by this question without finding an answer—after all, people cannot imagine things they have never seen, and it was impossible for any native to come up with a solution out of thin air.

Zhu Yunwen noticed his curiosity.

But he didn't go into details. He just gave a gentle smile and said with a hint of concern, "The next thing to do is wait for Zhuo Jing to return to the capital. You've been working hard for several days, investigating and gathering information. Now that you've finally returned to Yingtian Prefecture, take this opportunity to go back to your own residence and get some rest."

"Otherwise, you won't have much time to relax later on."

Zhu Yuntong said meaningfully.

Yuan Tai was naturally flattered and deeply moved: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"

"As long as it's for Your Majesty and for the Ming Dynasty, I'd rather die than worry about whether I'm idle or not!" He looked haggard and disheveled, but his eyes were exceptionally bright and sincere, and he had an eager spirit, as if he couldn't wait to get this done in three days and three nights.

From a public perspective, this was about eradicating the malignant tumor of the Ming Dynasty and setting a good precedent for the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years to come; from a private perspective, if this matter was accomplished, the "recordation of their names in history" that these officials had risked their lives for would be inevitable.

However, even though Yuan Tai was already itching to make a move.

But he also understood that he had to wait for Zhuo Jing to return.

Just as he was about to bow and take his leave, the vermilion gate of the Qianqing Palace was slowly pushed open: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhuo has also returned!"

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhuo has returned as well!" As Ma Sanbao's voice rang out, both Zhu Yunwen and Yuan Tai's faces lit up with joy.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Yuan Tai and laughed, "Speak of the devil and he appears. Minister Yuan, it seems you're in for a long time to relax."

Yuan Tai, his expression excited, bowed to Zhu Yunwen and said, “Your Majesty, Lord Zhuo’s return at this time is exactly what I wanted! Seeing so many sordid affairs in the region, how could I have the heart to relax? The time is just right to attend tomorrow’s morning court!”

Zhu Yunwen was naturally pleased with Yuan Tai's eagerness and enthusiasm.

He immediately said to Ma Sanbao, "Summon them quickly!"

Yuan Tai was anxious, but he had far more on his mind than Yuan Tai, and he was even more anxious.

Ma Sanbao nodded and left. A short while later, Zhuo Jing, who also looked somewhat haggard, strode in and bowed deeply to Zhu Yunwen: "Your humble servant Zhuo Jing greets Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunwen immediately raised his hand in a gesture of respect: "My dear minister, you have worked hard for many days, there is no need for such formalities."
