Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yunteng, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is unwilling to accept a tragic fate for himself and begins to find ways to build power and prepare for rebellion.
<...Zhu Yunwen immediately asked how the investigation was going.
The Imperial Guard quickly said to Zhu Yunwen:
"Your Highness, the investigation has been completed. It turns out that there are many beggars and vagrants in Luoyang City. However, a few days ago, some aristocratic families in the city began to take in these beggars."
There were originally more than 300 beggars, vagrants, and homeless refugees in the entire city of Luoyang.
However, they were divided equally among five powerful families in Luoyang and taken in by them. They were not only provided with food and lodging, but were also promised some copper coins.
Zhu Yunwen frowned and said:
"What is the purpose of this? Could it be that they really think I, the grandson of the crown prince, am coming here, so they are taking in these refugees as a vanity project?"
Although this might be a vanity project, Zhu Yunwen felt from the bottom of his heart that their willingness to take in these refugees was at least a good thing.
However, the Imperial Guard frowned and said:
"I believe things are not so simple, because these powerful families are not only taking in beggars and vagrants, but even..."
Zhu Yunwen: "Even what?"
The Imperial Guard continued:
"They are even trying to include some ordinary people in their household, inexplicably giving them some identities."
These were completely unrelated people, yet they had become like family to them. Why this was happening, I, their subordinate, had no idea.
Zhu Yunwen looked puzzled and said:
"Not only did they take in refugees and beggars, but they even went so far as to have ordinary people impersonate their family members at their homes?"
This move really confused Zhu Yunwen.
He frowned, thought carefully for a while, then suddenly his face darkened, and he said:
"This is bad. These people are planning to use this method to deal with the abolition of the land annexation policy..."
