Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Chapter 1324

Zhu Yunwen smiled faintly and said, "Alright! Since that's the case, then this matter is settled! Yuan Tai! Zhuo Jing!" Zhu Yunwen called out.

Immediately, Zhuo Jing and Yuan Tai, who were already standing outside the queue, raised their heads at the same time, their faces filled with excitement. They looked intently at Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and replied in unison, "Your humble servants are here!"

Even the two people who spearheaded this initiative didn't expect it to go so smoothly. They had originally thought it would involve some fierce verbal battles and cause quite a stir at today's morning court session...

However, since they had taken on this task seriously, they had already considered the pros and cons and were wholeheartedly focused on doing it well—this was the situation they most wanted to see.

Therefore, both Zhuo Jing and Yuan Tai appeared very excited at this moment.

He felt much more at ease: "His Majesty always manages to do the unexpected. Perhaps this seemingly impossible task... will actually succeed!"

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhuo Jing and Yuan Tai, and according to his plan, ordered, "I hereby appoint you two as imperial envoys, and send you with my imperial edicts to the Guangdong and Sichuan provincial administrations respectively to investigate these cases in detail!"

"Yes! Your humble servant Yuan Tai/Zhuo Jing obeys the decree!"

"I will certainly live up to Your Majesty's high expectations! I will rid Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty of treacherous officials!"

Without any hesitation or doubt, the two men accepted Zhu Yunwen's decree with impassioned voices, carrying an unwavering determination.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at the court officials again and said indifferently, "You cabinet scholars, after the court session, immediately draft the imperial edict for me as soon as possible. Do not delay. After it is drafted, submit it directly to me for my seal."

(Finally, let me explain the issue of the Grand Secretaries of the Cabinet. I've seen many people say that... although the cabinet system hadn't been established yet, there were still Grand Secretaries of the Cabinet. They didn't have any real power or say; they were basically just tools responsible for drafting imperial edicts.)

"Your humble servants obey the decree." Several cabinet scholars in the line of court officials immediately stepped forward, cupped their hands in response, and said, "In the current situation, who would dare to utter a word of objection?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded slowly.

As if going through the motions, he casually asked, "Now that this matter is settled, do any of you ministers have anything else to say?"

Such a big thing happened at the morning court session today, and it concerns almost everyone. No one was in the mood to talk about anything else. The entire court fell silent again, and no one spoke.

As for Zhu Yunwen, since he had already done everything he needed to do, he was naturally indifferent and was actually happy to have some free time.

He glanced at Ma Sanbao beside him, who immediately understood, stepped forward from Zhu Yunwen's side, and announced, "Court adjourned!!!"

Zhu Yunwen slowly stood up.

The crowd bowed in unison, saying, "Your humble servants... respectfully see Your Majesty off!!!"

Even after Zhu Yunwen stepped down from the Golden Palace and completely left the Fengtian Hall, the many civil and military officials standing on the Fengtian Hall seemed to still be in a daze, standing there in a daze for a long time without moving.

The main reason is that today's events... have had a really strong aftereffect! Everyone knew that Zhu Yunwen was bound to cause some trouble, but no one expected it to turn out like this!

Only Yuan Tai and Zhuo Jing, who had been mentally prepared, remained calm.

After watching Zhu Yunwen's departing figure, he immediately straightened his head and strode out of the Fengtian Hall with a solemn expression, passing through the crowd one after another.

"Please, Lord Yuan."

"Master Zhuo, please."

"These cases... are very complex and of great importance. We must handle them properly for His Majesty."

"That is certainly the case, Lord Yuan. Let us strive together."

"Let us encourage each other, Lord Zhuo."

"..."

Only when the two voices faded into the distance from the entrance of Fengtian Hall did someone finally come to their senses, take a deep breath, and sigh, "How...how could this be?!"

Everyone else seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

His face gradually turned fearful, panicked, and uneasy, his face almost turning pale and then red, his expression extremely complicated.

"This...this...this...sigh..."

"His Majesty, alas..."

Even...tsk tsk tsk tsk!

Many people couldn't help but want to complain, but because they were inside the Fengtian Hall, all their complaints were swallowed back, turning into sighs of helplessness and powerlessness.

Then they could only exchange helpless glances.

He left dejectedly.

Among the dukes and marquises, some looked uneasily at the most prominent and senior figures, such as Lan Yu, Chang Sheng, Zhang Yi, and Zhu Shou, and asked hesitantly, "Dukes/Marquises... what do you mean by this..."

Although the current situation doesn't necessarily mean that Zhu Yunwen will implicate them, many of them are no longer as confident as they were at the beginning.

It was simply because they had seen and felt that extremely oppressive aura!

This gave them a vague feeling that this young emperor who had always relied on them... had his own sharp blade and his own sharp claws!

Seeing the unease in everyone's eyes.

Marquis Zhang Yi of Heqing and Marquis Zhu Shou of Zhulu exchanged a glance, their expressions immediately becoming quite interesting—as people involved in the case mentioned by Yuan Tai and Zhuo Jing, they had a lot to say, but dared not speak.

And this time.

Lan Yu's gaze sharpened, and he exclaimed, "Your Majesty now... truly possesses the full aura of an emperor..."

After a pause, he composed himself and said, "Let's go back to the manor first."

There are some things that should be said, but he also knows that he shouldn't say them here.

With Lan Yu as their pillar of support, the confusion on everyone's faces lessened considerably. They temporarily put aside their own thoughts and replied, "Exactly!"

And so, the group of people filed out of Fengtian Hall with solemn expressions.

Among the nobles and meritorious officials of Huaixi.

At this moment, Duke Chang Sheng and Marquis Zhang Wen of Huining frowned deeply and exchanged a glance with each other, both of them seeing unease and anxiety in each other's eyes.

Zhang Wen immediately lowered his head, sighed inwardly, and thought to himself, "Sigh... what I feared most has come to pass..."
