It can be described as thorough and extremely cautious.

This also made Zhu Yunwen realize that the reason he was able to accomplish so many outstanding things was simply because he was a transmigrator.

He clearly lacked experience in being an emperor.

So he said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Hearing what you've said, Grandfather, things do seem rather difficult. But I wonder what your opinion is on this matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"What I mean is, the Ming Dynasty is already very powerful, so why not help the Gaochang Kingdom and step in to deter the Chechi Kingdom?"

Although this move might be used as a pawn by the Gaochang Kingdom, it would also enhance the Ming Dynasty's standing among the western kingdoms. In any case, the Ming Dynasty's strength is considerable, so a high-profile move wouldn't matter much.

Although it would leave a reputation for interfering in other countries' wars, and although it might make the western countries realize that the Ming Dynasty was too powerful, they might unite against the rice.

But I believe, Your Highness, you won't be afraid of such a thing.

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:

"Of course we are not afraid. With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to worry about the threats posed by the Western countries. However, there is one point in which my opinion differs from that of my grandfather."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became suspicious:

"Oh, tell me!"

He was clearly very interested and wanted to hear Zhu Yunwen's different opinion.

Then Zhu Yunwen said:

"I think we can handle this matter more tactfully. That is, seemingly offending both sides, but in a way that doesn't offend either side."

The goal is to make the West aware of our strength and dominance, but without actually interfering in the affairs between the two countries, while also preventing the Gaochang Kingdom's conspiracy from succeeding.

He wants to use our Ming Dynasty to help them solve their predicament, and he wants to drag our Ming Dynasty down with him, putting us in a dilemma.

Therefore, we cannot truly help them; in fact, we must teach them a lesson so they understand that the Ming Dynasty cannot be led by the nose.
