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

Chapter 1323

Seeing Zhang Wen step forward to speak, he looked at him and asked, "Zhang Wen? What? Do you have a better idea or plan?"

Zhang Wen had always kept his true identity well hidden, so Lan Yu naturally had no doubts about him. At this time, Lan Yu was still willing to listen to the opinion of this "smart man".

Zhang Wen first shook his head: "The Duke of Liang has always been a brilliant strategist, so I can't say he has a better idea or arrangement... It's just that... the Duke of Liang has many adopted sons and generals under his command, so entrusting such an important matter to him is not an easy task..."

“But with your back-and-forth trip, first you spend time gathering your adopted sons and soldiers, and then you enter the palace. It’s not impossible that the palace might find out about your plans first! After all, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is still closely monitoring the situation in the entire Yingtian Prefecture. We must be careful about this.”

Hearing what he said...

Chang Sheng's eyes flickered, and he frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled: "Didn't we agree to do our best to stop this turmoil? Why is Zhang Wen... damn it, suddenly starting to consider their needs?"

Chang Sheng doesn't dare to say much now.

With everyone acting in such a corrupt way, if I dare to say anything inappropriate, I'm afraid I'll be the first to be dealt with by this group.

at the same time.

Lan Yu and the other dukes, marquises and military officers in the hall all nodded in agreement: "What Marquis Huining said... does seem to make sense. After all, since he ascended the throne, he not only accepted the group of Embroidered Uniform Guards that were originally under the command of the founding emperor, but also selected and added many more Embroidered Uniform Guards. The current surveillance is no weaker than before."

"If the other side finds out about something beforehand, although we are still not afraid of it, it will still be a considerable problem."

"Then... what should we do?"

"..."

The crowd immediately began whispering among themselves.

Lan Yu remained silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before turning to Zhang Wen and saying, "Since you stood up and brought this up, you must have a better idea?"

Zhang Wen gave a faint smile.

He said, “The Duke of Liang intends to go to the palace to ascertain His Majesty’s intentions, but I feel… it’s not necessarily necessary for the Duke of Liang to go to the palace in person. Outside the palace, my presence or absence makes no difference, but the Duke of Liang is of paramount importance and indispensable. If I were to go to the palace in his place…”

"Let's consider it as splitting up into two groups."

"Once your troops are all arranged and ready, and I have confirmed everything I needed to in the palace, whether to start or stop... you can wait for my signal. If we really want to start a rebellion, the palace will not have time to react at this point, and the timing will be perfect."

Zhang Wen tried to speak calmly as he expressed his thoughts, then looked at Lan Yu and asked, "What does the Duke of Liang think?"

After listening to what he said...

Chang Sheng's slightly furrowed brows naturally relaxed, and he roughly understood Zhang Wen's intentions and thoughts: "He wants to extricate himself and immediately send all the news into the palace! So that His Majesty can prepare in advance!"

"At the same time, he is holding the matter of 'sending a signal' in his own hands to buy time for His Majesty—he has decided to no longer hide his position and let it surface."

"But I have to say, given the current tense situation, this is the only and best course of action... Let's deal with the immediate crisis first."

"As expected of the resourceful and wise Marquis of Huining, Zhang Wen!"

Chang Sheng looked at Zhang Wen with admiration and praise in his eyes, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was temporarily relieved.

I felt Chang Sheng's gaze.

A barely perceptible smile played on Zhang Wen's lips as he secretly plotted, saying, "Not only do we need to buy His Majesty some time... we also need to find a way to persuade His Majesty to pull back from the brink and continue to adopt the same humble attitude towards the dukes and military officials, so that we can gradually take action later..."

He spends every day with this group of people and knows them all too well. In the current situation, it's impossible to persuade them to stay.

But simply holding them back isn't enough.

The only completely safe solution... is to start with Zhu Yunwen, the source of the problem, and persuade him to give up this supernatural power first!

That's all I could think about.

Zhang Wen couldn't help but feel immense pressure and unease.

Because what he had to do... was to persuade Zhu Yunwen—the current Kaiqian Emperor, a tyrant who, once he made up his mind, was unyielding and no one had ever successfully persuaded him; he was the most stubborn of all...

Even though Zhang Wen had already thought of a thousand or ten thousand ways to persuade Zhu Yunwen.

I was still very weak at this point.

After all, the Kaiqian Emperor's record of "acting unilaterally" is well-documented.

But his gaze was firm and resolute.

This is the last hope to avoid chaos.

He secretly prepared himself for a series of events, including being reprimanded, thrown out, or punished by Zhu Yunwen in a fit of rage...

As Zhang Wen spoke...

The other dukes, marquises, and military officials followed his line of thought and carefully considered it, all showing expressions of deep agreement and nodding in agreement—after all, Zhang Wen's words were indeed entirely from their perspective. If Zhang Wen's own stance hadn't been on Zhu Yunwen's side, then his words would have been entirely for the benefit of the Huaixi nobles.

So it is.

Someone thought for a moment and immediately chimed in, "We think...that makes sense!"

"Lan Yu! Why don't we just let Zhang Wen go to the palace? It will save time and potential trouble! It's the best of both worlds."

"We also think we can do it this way!"

"..."

As soon as one person spoke up, everyone else echoed his sentiment.

Lan Yu naturally had no reason to object, and readily nodded in agreement, saying, "In that case, you shall go to the palace this time. We await your answer!"
