Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Zhu Biao's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Li Yuan's words were obviously a provocation to him, trying to weaken the prince's prestige. After all, if he really led the troops to the battle, if he made a mistake, he would inevitably be criticized by various factions in the court.

Zhu Biao thought for a moment, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "What Lord Li said is not without reason. However, although I, the Crown Prince, do not have the opportunity to go to war for the time being, it does not mean that I cannot make great contributions to the country. I can deploy troops and show my command ability."

Li Yuan sneered: "If it is so simple, then everyone can be the crown prince. The challenge the crown prince faces now is not only the support of the civil officials, but more importantly, how to gain the support of the military generals in the court."

Zhu Biao was touched by Li Yuan's words, and his heart could not help but waver. But at this moment, Zhu Han suddenly appeared in the court, slowly walked to Zhu Biao's side, with a deep look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Li said does make some sense."

Zhu Han's voice was low and full of pressure, "But in my opinion, the real test is not the victory or defeat in a war, but how to make the power of the entire court work for the prince."

As soon as he said this, the court fell silent. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Han, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes, but he did not speak.

Li Yuan did not give up at this time. He looked at Zhu Han and said provocatively: "Your Highness, what you said seems too idealistic. In the court, how can we just rely on words without taking practical actions?"

Zhu Han smiled slightly: "Since Lord Li is so confident, why not join me in showing how to conquer the court with practical actions."

These words were clear, but also contained a hint of provocation. Li Yuan's face changed, and he stopped talking instantly.

"Uncle, have you really decided?" Gu Qingping stood behind him, her voice filled with unconscious nervousness.

Zhu Han turned around, looked into her deep eyes, and smiled: "It's decided. Today, I will let everyone see that the prince is not an empty talker without ability."

Gu Qingping frowned: "What do you want to do?"

Zhu Han sighed, "You know the situation in the court. Although my brother favors Zhu Biao, many people are still wary of him. Li Yuan is just a representative of them. If we don't let them see that the prince has real decision-making and action capabilities, they will never surrender."

"Then how do you want to deal with Li Yuan?" Gu Qingping asked, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes, "He has power and is deeply loved by the emperor. It is not easy to touch him."

Zhu Han's eyes flashed with cold light: "Even though my brother dotes on him, he may not be able to rely on him completely. Li Yuan has ambitions in his heart. If we don't strike him early, he will threaten the position of the crown prince sooner or later."

Gu Qingping was silent for a moment and sighed deeply: "I understand. But... I'm afraid this road will be more difficult."

"It is precisely because of the difficulty that we have to go." Zhu Han's voice was firm. "Besides Li Yuan, there are other people in the court who do not trust the prince. Only by letting them see the true strength can we win their support."

"Your Majesty, the prince is young, and his strategies for governing the country are often vague. If he continues like this, wouldn't he be handing the future of the Ming Dynasty over to an immature prince?" Li Yuan's words were fierce, obviously testing the prince's bottom line.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao's heart trembled slightly, but he suppressed his uneasiness and spoke steadily: "What Lord Li said is not without reason. I feel a great sense of responsibility. However, the affairs of the world cannot be accomplished overnight. Power is not just a matter of one person, but the result of everyone's concerted efforts."

Although these words were polite, they also revealed Zhu Biao's determination.

But Li Yuan obviously did not intend to let him go, so he sneered: "Although the prince has the intention, he is far less wise than your father. If the prince can personally go to the frontier and lead the troops to fight, he can prove his ability."

"Li Yuan's words are ridiculous." Zhu Biao countered calmly, "Although everyone in the court has made many achievements, if we judge heroes by their personal expeditions, wouldn't it be a joke? What the prince needs to govern the country is wisdom and strategy, not blind brute force."

Li Yuan's face changed. He obviously didn't expect Zhu Biao to respond like this. He moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something else.

"Li Yuan," Zhu Han said coldly, "Although the crown prince has not led the army in person, it does not mean that he does not have the ability to make decisions. You keep asking the crown prince to lead the army in person, do you want him to lead the troops and be cannon fodder?"

Li Yuan's face darkened. Just as he was about to retort, Zhu Han turned to the crown prince Zhu Biao and said, "The crown prince should remember that real power often does not lie in swords and guns, but in how to control people's hearts and minds and how to make the court officials sincerely convinced."

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Han, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Uncle Emperor is right."

"The power of the court cannot be controlled by just one person." Zhu Han continued, "If the prince can make these ministers voluntarily submit, he can consolidate his position in the court."

"However, since Li Yuan is so worried about the prince's ability to govern the country, why not let him see the prince's decisiveness."

Zhu Han suddenly added, "The situation on the border has been turbulent recently. The prince can send an army to suppress it. Use this opportunity to demonstrate the prince's true leadership."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, listening silently without saying a word.

"Okay." Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Since my brother has said so, I will follow your plan."

Zhu Han stood quietly in front of the study window in the Prince's Mansion, looking at the sky in the distance which was gradually getting darker.

The night was like a dark curtain, covering the entire Ming Dynasty palace.

In the study, Zhu Biao sat in front of a large desk with a furrowed brow and sharp eyes, as if he was thinking about something extremely important.

"Uncle, I have understood the plan you mentioned." Zhu Biao's voice was steady, but with a determination that could not be ignored.

"However, although we have created a rift in Zhu Di's camp, the situation is still unstable, especially with Father's attitude."

Zhu Han turned around and smiled: "Biao'er, the hesitation in the emperor's heart is not flawless, but it gives us an opportunity. You see, the changes in the court today, we must seize this opportunity."

Zhu Biao looked at him deeply, seeming to understand the deep meaning.

He put his hands on the table and stood up with steady steps, as if he had made up his mind: "However, my father's supporters have begun to reassess the situation, and some generals have wavered. If we continue to wait, they may preempt us." Zhu Han was neither impatient nor impatient, his eyes remained calm: "So, my plan is not to simply wait, but to take the initiative. The next move of the prince's army will directly change their view of you. Let them understand that the prince is not just an heir with a veneer, but a real leader who can control the situation in the ever-changing situation."

Zhu Biao clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination: "So, how do we plan next?"

Zhu Han smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "I'm ready. You know, I have a very special tool - the sign-in system."

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You mean, the 'sign-in system'? What can it do for us?"

Zhu Han looked calm, as if he was waiting for this moment to ask the question. He slowly said, "This system is not just a simple tool. It can provide all the resources in our modern society - from advanced scientific and technological equipment to profound military strategies. It can even help us break through the enemy's defenses. Today, I used this system to obtain some very useful resources."

He paused, a sneer flashed in his eyes, "For example, I recently obtained an item called 'Intelligence Analyzer', which can help us analyze the strengths and weaknesses, potential weaknesses and psychological state of each general in the enemy camp."

Zhu Biao's eyes flashed with confusion: "How... is this possible?"

Zhu Han smiled softly: "This world is full of variables, Biaoer. You may not know that modern technology can provide us with unprecedented advantages. You see, it is these modern tactics and strategies that we need to turn the situation around."

Zhu Biao listened quietly and gradually understood.

"So, how do we use these resources next?" Zhu Biao asked.

Zhu Han smiled slightly, revealing a hint of deep meaning: "First, we need to further weaken the core forces in Zhu Di's camp. Using the 'Intelligent Analyzer', I have grasped the key weaknesses of several generals, especially in the distribution of military power and decision-making."

Zhu Biao nodded: "There must be complex power relations behind these generals. Once we can shake their foundation, the stability of the entire camp will be broken."

Zhu Han's eyes sparkled. "That's right. We will use a series of precise means to provoke conflicts between them and make them kill each other. Your decisiveness will be the key in this."

Zhu Biao frowned after hearing this: "But what if they join forces to fight back?"

Zhu Han was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "What we need is not only to provoke their internal conflicts, but to intervene at the critical moment. I have obtained some 'tactical simulators' through the sign-in system, which can accurately predict the results of different military decisions in a simulated environment and give the best response strategy."

Zhu Biao's heart was shocked: "So, we can predict the enemy's actions in advance through simulation and formulate countermeasures?"

Zhu Han nodded: "That's right, Biaoer. Every step is under our control. As long as we accurately predict the enemy's next move, they will be unable to resist."

"So what should we do now?" Zhu Biao asked, his eyes full of determination.

Zhu Han smiled slightly and said slowly: "Next, we need to use the 'tactical simulator' to simulate a full-scale counterattack and rehearse every possible situation to ensure that we can be impeccable at the critical moment. At the same time, we also need to use some means to reveal this information to some dissatisfied generals in Zhu Di's camp to make them doubt."

Zhu Biao's eyes sparkled. "You mean, by spreading the news, you want them to start doubting their own camp?"

Zhu Han nodded. "That's right. We need to make them understand that Zhu Di's decisions are not flawless, but full of loopholes and mistakes. Once they start to waver in their faith in Zhu Di, they will begin to re-evaluate their relationship with us."

Just as Zhu Biao was about to respond, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, breaking the silence of the study.

"Crown Prince, Prince, the situation has changed!" A guard rushed in, looking nervous.

Zhu Biao turned around immediately, his eyes flashing with alertness: "What happened?"

The guard reported in a low voice: "An important news came from the court today. A certain minister has begun to publicly question the command ability of the prince's army, and raised a heavy question, questioning whether the prince can lead the army in a real battle."

Zhu Biao's heart sank, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes: "They are finally starting to force me."

Zhu Han looked at him calmly and said, "Biao'er, this is the time we need. Now that they have begun to challenge you, you must show real decisiveness."

Zhu Biao clenched his fists, his eyes determined: "I want to show them that the prince is not just an heir on paper. I will personally lead the prince's army and show our true strength!"

Zhu Han smiled slightly, his eyes full of praise: "That's right, Biao'er. You have to convince them completely instead of passively waiting for their evaluation."

"I understand, uncle." Zhu Biao nodded, then stood up, his eyes sharp. "We must take action to let the entire court see the prince's decisiveness and execution ability."

Zhu Han smiled slightly, with an unfathomable light in his eyes: "That's right, Biaoer. Every step forward is crucial. As long as we take the initiative, the rift in Zhu Di's camp will continue to deepen, and eventually they will not be able to recover."

After a series of precise arrangements, Zhu Biao prepared to personally lead the Prince's Army to launch a military exercise of unprecedented scale.

Zhu Biao stood on the high platform of the Prince's Mansion, overlooking the war-torn scene in the camp, his heart filled with suppressed anxiety.

Zhu Han stood behind him, his eyes were deep and sharp like a sword. Although he didn't say anything, his calm aura was enough to make everyone feel a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

"Uncle," Zhu Biao said in a deep voice, turning to look at the person behind him, "Do you really believe that this exercise can change everything?"

Zhu Han smiled slightly, with a deep light flashing in his eyes. "Biao'er, if you can show your true decisiveness in this exercise, there will definitely be a big fluctuation in the court. Those ministers who originally had doubts about you will re-examine you. And all of this will pave the way for your ultimate victory."

Zhu Biao clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with an unyielding light, "I understand, I will do my best. But what if there are any mistakes during the exercise?"

"Mistakes?" Zhu Han's smile deepened. "On the battlefield, where is absolute perfection? Mistakes are the true reflection of human nature. If you can turn defeat into victory through mistakes, it will make those who doubt you look at you with new eyes." (End of this chapter)
