Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dejected. He stood behind the carved railings and covered a stone pillar with one hand.
He looked outside the Hall of Heaven Tribute.
His expression was complicated.
He had no idea what he was thinking.
He retracted his gaze and saw the officials kneeling in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute. They did not dare to move.
He knew.
These people were all shocked.
Or was he afraid of being killed?
They were all waiting for their good grandson to make a sound.
His gaze fell on Tang He.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not understand.
A good brother who had followed him through life and death.
Why would he stand firmly by Zhu Yunhao's side at this time?
Could it be because he had killed too many meritorious officials?
Did he make this brother afraid of him?
However, he did not know that the army of the northern vassal kings could destroy Zhu Yunhao at any time.
"Ministry of Rites!"
Zhu Yunhao shouted.
Officials from the Bureau of Rites immediately moved to the center of the hall.
"I am the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Kaili.”
The Ministry of Rites had changed their address to 'Your Majesty.'
A smile appeared on Zhu Yunhao's face as he said,""Imperial Grandfather, it seems that this one's killing has some effect.”
"Did you see that?"
"Those who didn't choose an auspicious day for me to ascend the throne couldn't wait to change their words and call me Your Majesty.”
These words.
Wang Kaili broke out in a cold sweat.
The officials from the Ministry of Rites were all trembling in fear.
They were well aware.
The entire Ministry of Rites had played a trick on the auspicious day of the ascension.
He thought that Zhu Yunhao would be defeated very quickly.
Rather than choosing an auspicious day, it was better to delay it.
Who knew?
This was a fiend.
Killing God Tyrant.
He was so ruthless.
But even the Retired Emperor could not stop it.
Who would dare to disobey him?
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has chosen an auspicious day for the ascension.”
"On the first day of October."
Wang Kaili said quickly without thinking.
He knew very well that he could not let His Majesty ask.
Otherwise, he would not be able to defend himself.
He could only think of an auspicious day to stop His Majesty from continuing.
"Whoa."
"You're really fast."
"Alright then, I'll ascend the throne on the first of October." Zhu Yunhao chuckled.”
"I will leave the preparations for the coronation to you, Wang Kaili.”
"If anything goes wrong."
"Eat more delicious food when you get back."
"I don't want to lose the chance to eat it again," he said coldly.”
Wang Kaili wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said,""Don't worry, Your Majesty. The officials from the Ministry of Rites will definitely do it properly.”
God of Slaughter.
He was really a god of slaughter.
Wang Kaili was about to cry.
What should he do?
Zhu Yunhao said," The Ministry of Rites has openly obeyed me but secretly disobeyed me. I won't hold it against you this time. I'll let you off this time. If there's a next time, you'll all be executed."”
"You'd better atone for your sins and not disappoint me.”
Under the leadership of Wang Kaili, the officials of the Ministry of Rites quickly expressed their loyalty and thanked the Emperor for his grace.
"Oh, right."
"My father, the Ministry of Rites wants to discuss the posthumous title."”
"Let me and Imperial Grandfather decide."
"Imperial grandfather, when grandson ascends the throne, it's possible to give father the title, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
What was this?
He, the father, was not dead yet.
In the end, his grandson had already ascended the throne and wanted to give his father a posthumous title.
There had never been such a thing in the past dynasties.
Zhu Yuanzhang said,"Just do as you see fit."”
"I'm just afraid that your coronation ceremony on the first day of October won't go on.”
"The northern vassal kings are all looking at you.”
"Will they give you a chance to ascend the throne?"
"It's good that you don't have any objections." Zhu Yunhao smiled.”
"It's the army of the vassal kings. Royal grandfather doesn't need to worry. I naturally have a countermeasure.”
"Ru Chang."
He changed the topic and ignored Old Zhu.
"I'm here," Ru Chang said loudly.
"I'm all ears."
Zhu Yunhao said," Immediately, the Ministry of War will issue my decree. If the troops of the various guard stations are mobilized without the decree, they will be regarded as treason and rebellion."”
"The soldiers should wake up in time and return to the camp.”
Ru Chang said,"I will do as you say. I will go and do it."”
It was not a big problem whether this decree could leave Jinling.
Yingtian Prefecture was also fine.
However, it was unknown how many people would obey outside the Ying Tian Prefecture.
"In addition."
"Spread it to the world," said Zhu Yunhao.
"The northern vassal king led his troops to leave his fief without permission.”
"Bring your troops back to your fief immediately. I will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, I will treat it as a rebellion.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyelids twitched.
He looked at Zhu Yunhao in surprise.
He didn't know where Zhu Yunhao got the confidence to say such words.
However, he felt that something was wrong.
It seemed like there was something behind this decree.
"Duke of Liang."
His granduncle, Lan Yu, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, finally had a chance to move.
He didn't dare to take advantage of his seniority. He dared to act casually just because he was Zhu Yunhao's granduncle.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to reply.
His legs were hurting from kneeling, and it was very difficult for him to move a few steps.
"Immediately lead 100,000 soldiers to Wuhu, Yixing, and Suzhou. Lead the army to set up defenses and block the rebel army on the southern front.”
Zhu Yunhao said.
Lan Yu immediately replied,"I will obey your orders."”
"100,000 soldiers?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking. Can we stop the southern army?"
"By dividing your forces in three places, you are weakening your own strength.”
"We might as well gather our forces and set up a defense around Jin Ling city.”
Lan Yu said," Reporting to Retired Emperor, the southern rebel army is just a mob. We should leave the main forces in Jinling to fight against the northern rebel army."”
"The rebels in the south were all mobilized at the last minute. Most of them were from the local government, the military, and the local nobles.”
"It seems to be a huge force, not worth worrying about.”
"After Lan Yu leads his army south, who will still be in charge of the capital camp?"”
"Tang He?"
This was a big problem.
Everyone knew that the capital camp did not riot because Lan Yu was keeping watch.
If he transferred Blue Jade away at this time, wouldn't that be self-destruction?
Without Lan Yu overseeing the capital camp, who could still suppress them?
For a moment.
Some of the civil officials immediately began to think.
This might be an opportunity.
There was no blue jade.
Jinling would not be so peaceful.
Zhu Yunhao seemed to be completely unaware of the importance of the blue jade. He smiled and said,"No, it's Duke Cao."
"Duke Cao, Li Jinglong?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.”
"He can suppress the capital camp."
He couldn't help but look at Li Jinglong below. The latter was crawling on the ground, so he couldn't see his face.
Although this 20-year-old kid was a Duke, he was still a Duke.
The soldiers in the capital camp were all proud soldiers and fierce generals.
Can't you control it?
Perhaps, once Li Jinglong took office, Lan Yu would leave.
The general of the capital camp seized Li Jinglong and launched a mutiny.
It was not impossible.
Old Zhu and many other civil officials thought the same.
