The relationship between the Annamite Provincial Governor and Li Jinglong was completely severed at this moment, as they each sought to protect themselves.

But then again, given the current situation, what other options do they have?

All I can do is try to shift the blame as far away as possible and see if I can still save my life in the current situation.

After all, rebellion is obviously impossible to succeed, and since it is impossible to succeed, one will naturally lose one's life.

This is naturally something they don't want, so they have to think of a good way to ensure that they don't lose their lives in this incident.

So all they can do is shift the blame to each other and try to minimize their own problems.

Even if there are still culpable charges, they probably won't be that serious. Unfortunately, Zhu Yunwen is not stupid. Obviously, he can't let them point fingers at each other here and just easily believe whoever he wants.

So, just as the two were arguing, Zhu Yunwen finally spoke up:

"Stop arguing, you're both the masterminds. Why bother struggling here?"

Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Li Jinglong and the Annamite Provincial Governor immediately fell silent.

Since Zhu Yunwen had already said so, there was obviously no point in them continuing to argue about it.

Zhu Yunwen indeed had no patience to continue wasting time talking nonsense with them.

So he said to his soldiers:

"Take these two down and put them under the Yan family's custody. The other officials present should also be imprisoned."

The soldiers below obeyed the order and arrested all the rebellious officials.

That's where the matter ends, really, since all the officials have been arrested and the chaotic situation has been brought under control.

Next, all that's needed is for the imperial court to learn about this and take appropriate action.

Zhu Yunwen didn't even need to worry too much, but he couldn't leave this place immediately.

After all, the imperial court has not yet sent officials to resolve the problem here. If he leaves at will, the place will be in a leaderless situation.

What might happen then is anyone's guess.

So, he still has to wait for the imperial court to send someone over.

Soon, the order, personally written by Zhu Yunwen, was sent back to Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Upon learning the news, cabinet officials immediately began devising countermeasures, selecting some relatively reliable officials to take over various affairs in Annam.

Furthermore, many well-trained and trustworthy officials were dispatched to Annam to serve as local prefects and magistrates.

At the same time, they also need to provide a solution, which is to prevent these relatively remote areas from rebelling again because of the regional officials.

Although in the present Ming Dynasty, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to rebel.

However, it's best to avoid such things if possible, as they are always quite troublesome.

It is detrimental to local stability.

So, about a week later, dozens of officials sent by the imperial court arrived one after another. The newly arrived Annam garrison commander was a relatively honest and capable official from the original imperial court.

The general stationed there was also a very reliable general under Lan Yu.

He has been very loyal to Lan Yu over the years and naturally understands Lan Yu's strength.

Therefore, a person like him, who came to Annam to serve as the garrison general, would absolutely not dare to harbor any disloyalty.

He was not only very clear that rebelling against the Crown Prince and Zhu Yuanzhang was almost a suicidal act, but he also understood that if the court wanted to quell the rebellion, it could easily send a military general like Lan Yu, Fu Youde, or Geng Bingwen to crush them, these so-called garrison generals.

It's like a joke.

With this self-awareness, they naturally dared not act recklessly. The situation in Annam was resolved and stabilized, and the new official team reassured Zhu Yunwen.

In this way, he doesn't need to worry too much about the situation in Annam. He has inspected the north and visited Annam, and basically, there are no problems.

The two important regions, to the north and south, are very far apart in terms of strategic depth. If there are no problems there now, the Ming Dynasty will not have to worry about internal troubles in the future.

Thus, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu left Annam and this time truly boarded the train back to the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty.

Get ready, then travel to other parts of the Ming Dynasty before returning to the court.

After entering the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen slowed down his pace again. When passing through some important places, he would continue to conduct secret inspections to prevent any escapees from escaping and causing political problems.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty's regulatory system is now very comprehensive, and corrupt officials are almost non-existent in the Central Plains.

Zhu Yunwen was very satisfied with the local politics, and some even surprised him greatly.

In addition, some local officials in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty also paid great attention to the economic performance evaluations given to them by the imperial court.

All of these efforts are boosting the local economy in various ways. The foundation of this economy is the daily expenses of ordinary people. Therefore, while the economy is being stimulated, the lives of ordinary people at the grassroots level are basically guaranteed.

They are well protected in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation, and daily expenses.

In this situation, if people can eat, drink, and dress well, and have enough for their needs, and still have money to spend, then naturally they will spend their money on other things.

At the same time, once you've solved your basic needs, you can start earning money to buy all sorts of things.

This has boosted local consumption, leading to a growth trend in economic consumption.

Naturally, everything flourished.

The lives of ordinary people are improving dramatically, which is something Zhu Yunwen was happy to see.

Such a speed of development can be considered the fastest in ancient society.

Satisfied, Zhu Yunwen returned to the palace and expressed his approval to some of the officials there.

After all, what they saw and heard showed that the officials of the court were doing their best to implement the development plan formulated by Zhu Yunwen and the cabinet.

Otherwise, the entire Ming Dynasty would not have made such tremendous progress.

The officials were very happy to receive Zhu Yunwen's commendation and recognition.

This is perhaps something they should be very proud of.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already returned to the palace. After meeting with Zhu Yunwen privately several times, Zhu Yunwen vaguely received hints from Zhu Yuanzhang.

That is, Zhu Yuanzhang has now decided to stop interfering in the affairs of the court and leave everything to Zhu Yunwen.

The meaning couldn't be clearer: although Zhu Yunwen was the grandson of the crown prince, he actually held the power of an emperor.

Although the current emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang, he is actually enjoying the life of a retired emperor.
