Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen were constantly worried about what might happen to Zhu Yunwen, so when they heard that Zhu Yunwen had been assassinated by assassins sent by the Chechi Kingdom, they were extremely excited and thrilled.

In their view, this is undoubtedly the thing that makes them happiest.

It's a pity, but I never expected that I would now learn that Zhu Yunwen was not dead at all.

This suddenly plunged them from heaven to hell, and the despair dealt a heavy blow to their souls. But what could they do, no matter how painful it was?

Now that it has happened, it has already happened.

The fact that Zhu Gang was imprisoned is enough to prove that everything is true. Otherwise, why would the Prince of Jin, who was very likely to become the crown prince, be suddenly imprisoned?

Inside that room, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di could no longer laugh.

In the end, they could only sigh, slump to the ground, and become listless once again.

The news that cheered them up was false, and in return, they received news that made them even sadder.

Who wouldn't despair in this situation?

Seeing this, Zhu Gang could only manage a wry smile. How could he not wish that Zhu Yunwen were really dead?

But hope is hope, and facts are facts.

No matter what he thinks, he can't change what has already happened.

And so, in the days that followed, these three uncles and nephews could only rely on each other here and stay together until the end of their lives.

As for the outside world, everyone was overjoyed when they learned that Zhu Yunwen was not dead.

At least that's how the people of the Ming Dynasty felt; they didn't want to pay attention to any accidents that might happen to him.

As the saying goes, "When you drink water, you should not forget the well-digger." The people of the Ming Dynasty had a new life. Everyone had to thank Zhu Yunwen.

Whether it's everyday necessities, transportation, healthcare, education, the development of local industrial chains, or people's income, Zhu Yunwen's hard work and contributions are indispensable.

So everyone enjoyed it and was naturally extremely grateful to Zhu Yutong.

When Zhu Yunwen died, they would weep bitterly upon hearing the news, and the whole country would mourn him.

Now that Zhu Yunwen is alive and has returned to the court, the people of the world are naturally overjoyed after the news was confirmed.

So when this news spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty were all excited.

The fact that His Highness the Crown Prince is still alive means that there are still endless possibilities for the Ming Dynasty.

This means that the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty will definitely get better and better in the future.

This is what every citizen hopes to see.

And so, a few days later, Zhu Yunwen resumed his control of the court.

He still made the decisions on many matters in the imperial court.

Zhu Yunwen had been paying close attention to the court affairs during this period, so when he returned to the court, there was no break in the order.

The handling of certain issues remains orderly.

Furthermore, cooperation with various countries was also delayed due to the news of Zhu Yunwen's death.

Now that Zhu Yunwen is safe, cooperation between the Ming Dynasty and Western countries will naturally continue.

Western countries were also very happy after learning the news, as they did not want anything to happen to Zhu Yunwen.

If Zhu Yunwen were to meet with misfortune, then the cooperation between the Ming Dynasty and Western countries would come to an end.

This was not good news for the Western countries. They were hoping to engage in various trade relations with the Ming Dynasty, primarily arms deals, which would help them enhance their national strength.

Now that Zhu Yunwen is not dead, all of this can proceed again, which naturally puts them at ease.

The happiest of all was naturally the Kingdom of Women. Upon hearing the news, the princess and king of the Kingdom of Women were so excited in the court that they were like two little women.

They then immediately sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to conduct various trade transactions.

Other countries are not lagging behind and are all eager to do this as well.

Of course, for the time being, Zhu Yunwen doesn't need to worry about these things personally.

The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Rites took care of things. As for Zhu Yunwen, after he took control of the Cao Bureau, many things were resolved, and he finally had some free time.

On ordinary days, he would accompany Zhao Qingzhu to drink tea and chat, and play chess and drink wine with Zhu Yuanzhang.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Zhu Yunwen to the imperial study and, after dismissing the palace maids and eunuchs, said to Zhu Yunwen with a serious expression:

"Yun-hu, there's something I've been thinking about for a long time. Although I've been struggling with it, I finally feel I need to discuss it with you."

Zhu Yunwen immediately asked:

"Grandpa, what are you referring to?"

Zhu Yuanzhang first sighed, then said:

"In the past, there was Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang, who acted recklessly in the local areas, and later, Prince Yan, Zhu Di, colluded with the north with wolfish intentions, wanting to seize power in the Ming Dynasty."

Now there's also Prince Zhu Gang of Jin, who is similarly colluding with foreign enemies and harboring treacherous intentions. This makes us realize that one of our ideas was wrong.”

Zhu Yunwen vaguely guessed what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say, but pretended not to understand and asked:

"What is it that Grandfather is referring to?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath before speaking:

"Our original idea was to send our descendants to various places to guard the Ming Dynasty for us. Unfortunately, it seems that this method was indeed wrong."

Giving them too much power will only make them a threat to the Ming Dynasty in the end. This is not a good thing.

Moreover, we also have a concern: what if we made all our descendants kings and sent them to the provinces to serve as princes, allowing them to enjoy such high-level treatment?
