This was the best reason Zhu Houzhao could think of.
Emperor Taizu's dream could show that Zhu Houzhao was favored and protected by Emperor Taizu, greatly stabilizing Zhu Houzhao's status and authority.
After all, in the Ming Empire, the Founding Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was definitely the supreme existence in everyone's hearts!
Moreover, the content of Emperor Taizu's dream allowed Zhu Houzhao to experience the sufferings of the people, which was very in line with Emperor Taizu's personality.
Back then, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was a commoner and even a beggar. He stood out from the crowd and went through countless hardships to conquer the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, after becoming the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was very attentive to the people's livelihood. He would often go to the people and observe the people's feelings.
Zhu Houzhao had just ascended the throne, so it was reasonable for Emperor Taizu to hope that Zhu Houzhao would understand the people's feelings and become a wise ruler of the Ming Empire.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao's direct explanation to Zhu Bujue was also another test for Zhu Bujue, or rather, it was to give Zhu Bujue one last chance to choose!
After Zhu Houzhao left the capital, Zhu Bujue would definitely be able to grasp more things. If he wanted to rebel, this was naturally the best opportunity.
Moreover, Zhu Bujue could still think of a way to make Zhu Houzhao die outside, provided that he could really do it!
Because of his foresight, Zhu Houzhao knew that Zhu Bujue might have second thoughts.
But in the Ming court, no one else, including the empress dowager, would know this.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't just arrest Zhu Bujue and execute him because he suspected him. That would only cause the court to fall into chaos, and the ministers would be alienated from him.
Even when Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill some people, he would first find evidence of their crimes through the Embroidered Uniform Guards before dealing with them.
Although the evidence might not be true.
This time, Zhu Houzhao was giving Zhu Bujue one last chance, and at the same time, he was giving himself another chance!
If Zhu Bujue took this opportunity to rebel, then Zhu Houzhao could openly get rid of Zhu Bujue!
As for whether Zhu Bujue could succeed in his rebellion, Zhu Houzhao was not worried at all.
In the original movie, Zhu Houzhao was almost at the end of his rope, but he still managed to turn the tables.
The current Zhu Houzhao had many trump cards, and his strength was no longer inferior to Zhu Bujue. More importantly, he had the support of the system.
Zhu Houzhao believed that if Zhu Bujue rebelled at this time, his ending would be even more miserable than in the original movie!
When Zhu Budian heard Zhu Houzhao's words, his eyes flashed as he cupped his fists at Zhu Houzhao and advised,""The emperor has just ascended the throne and the court has not yet stabilized. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave the capital at this time.”
Zhu Houzhao looked deeply at Zhu Buguang and said with a smile,""With Imperial Uncle around, what is there for Zhen to worry about? Uncle, don't you think so? In addition, this time I left the capital to observe the people's feelings. It is the will of Emperor Taizu. How can I go against it?”
Hearing that Zhu Houzhao was using Emperor Taizu as a cover, Zhu Budian was speechless.
Pondering for a moment, Zhu Budian cupped his fists at Zhu Houzhao and said,""If that's the case, the Emperor must bring along his elite guards. In addition, he must also gather the cabinet ministers, Divine Marquis Zhuge, and other important officials to explain the matters of the court.”
"Of course." Zhu Houzhao nodded.”
Zhu Bujue did not continue the topic after hearing that. He bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said,""If the emperor has no other instructions, then this official will take his leave first.”
"Imperial Uncle, you can go back to work." Zhu Houzhao said.”
Zhu Budian bowed to Zhu Houzhao again and left Yangxin Palace Hall.
After walking out of the palace, Zhu Budian was excited with the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom in his hand. However, when he thought of Zhu Houzhao's warning and temptation, he was hesitant.
Zhu Budian turned around and took a deep look at the palace behind him. Then, he suddenly turned his head and shouted," Suxin, wait for me!"”
Zhu Budian strode back to the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
In the next few days, Zhu Houzhao continued to deal with the affairs of the court. At the same time, he gathered the cabinet chief Li Dongyang, Zhuge Zhengwo of the Divine Constabulary, Zhu Bujue of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, and other important officials of the court together. He told them about his plan to leave the capital to observe the people.
At first, Li Dongyang and the others were naturally against it. However, when Zhu Bujue mentioned that this was an edict given to him by Emperor Taizu in his dream, everyone was speechless and could only accept this fact.
In these few days, Zhu Houzhao had also arranged most of the matters.
When Yu Huatian returned, Zhu Houzhao also decided to leave the capital.
Inside Yangxin Hall, Zhu Houzhao gathered Yu Huatian, Cao Zhengchun, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the four people in the hall and said lightly,""The few of you are my trusted aides. This time, I plan to bring Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng out of the capital. Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun will be in charge of the matters in the capital.”
When Cao Zhengchun heard that Zhu Houzhao had listed him and Yu Huatian as his trusted aides, he was instantly excited. He quickly expressed his stance,"Don't worry emperor, this servant will definitely take care of the house for the emperor.”
"I will do my best," Yu Huatian said in a deep voice.”
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun cupped their fists at Zhu Houzhao at the same time and respectfully replied,"Yes". Then, they stood on both sides of Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly." The Brocade Guard will be temporarily under the control of Ma Jinliang, the head of the West Hall. Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun, you will assist from the side."”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
"This servant obeys!"
Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun both greeted respectfully.
Zhu Houzhao took a deep look at the two of them and continued,""The East Chamber, West Chamber, and Embroidered Uniform Guards will work together to monitor the officials and the world. At the same time, you can't relax on the Dragon Guard Mountain Villa.”
"Yes." Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
At the same time, Cao Zhengchun was also delighted. He had long been dissatisfied with Zhu Houzhao, so it was good for him that Zhu Houzhao suspected Zhu Bujue.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Cao Zhengchun and warned,""Supervisor Cao, I know you don't get along with Imperial Uncle, but you'd better not use your official position for personal gain. Otherwise, I won't let you off easily!”
" Yes, Your Servant." Cao Zhengchun immediately responded respectfully after hearing Zhu Houzhao's warning.
" You may leave." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said to Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian.
"This servant (subject) will take his leave!"
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian bowed to Zhu Houzhao at the same time, then slowly left the hall.
Zhu Houzhao looked in the direction of the Yangxin Palace Hall's entrance and stared into the distance. He muttered,""This one has come to this colorful martial arts world!”
