Chapter 1309
He sees things more clearly and further ahead than anyone else!
At the same time, he was completely unable to understand his former self: "With foresight, strategic brilliance, and extraordinary talent, he possessed the courage and decisiveness to rival even the Hongwu Emperor... Had I been completely blind before?"
Zhu Yunwen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Now that you have a general idea of where to start, do you already have a clue?"
His focus has always been on "solving problems." No matter how big or small the matter is, you have to find a starting point and then move forward step by step; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.
Yuan Tai was also waiting for Zhu Yunwen to say these words.
Having personally investigated each and every one of these matters, he naturally hoped to root out and punish these corrupt officials who were bringing disaster to the country.
Furthermore, he had already received instructions from Zhu Yunwen to find one or two typical cases as a starting point, so he naturally did not hesitate at all and immediately replied, "Your Majesty! During my secret investigation, I have focused on paying close attention to various situations and evidence from three of them. As long as this matter is brought into the open, it will not take long for me to give Your Majesty a result!"
"At that time, His Majesty will do as he said before, and use this as a pretext to order a thorough investigation of the entire Guangdong Provincial Administration Commission."
"Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision and a methodical approach."
"All I can do is run errands for Your Majesty and put in some effort."
Yuan Tai's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, still deeply impressed that the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty had come up with the most reliable solution to such a thorny issue so early on!
Zhu Yunwen's gaze sharpened, and he said coldly, "Very well, since you've already made preparations, it's time to bring this matter into the open! I've also received news that Zhuo Jing, who went to Sichuan, will be back in the next couple of days. You can then present your case at the morning court session!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhu Yunwen spoke, and Yuan Tai naturally followed suit. Or rather, ever since he had personally come into contact with all the matters during his secret investigation, he had been eagerly awaiting this moment.
But after he finished speaking, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, pursed his lips, and then said what was on his mind: "Your Majesty... there is something I still need to ask Your Majesty for your opinion on."
"Just say it," Zhu Yunwen said nonchalantly.
"Your Majesty, among the three typical cases I have selected, one case is particularly significant, not only involving a wide range of people within the Guangdong Provincial Administration Commission, but also... implicating a portion of the military officials of Huaixi..."
"Therefore, regarding this case, I have been pondering and hesitating on my way back. Perhaps... it would be better to put the case on hold for now? That way, we might be able to buy some more time to stabilize the situation?"
Yuan Tai was never one to speak tactfully or diplomatically. Although he did not directly mention the influence of the Huaixi nobles on Zhu Yunwen, his words contained almost no attempt to conceal or be subtle.
The implication was: if we handle this case, and then bring it up at the morning court, it will surely displease those nobles of Huaixi, and who knows what they might do—but what Yuan Tai was worried about was that Zhu Yunwen would not be able to withstand this turmoil.
After all.
Although Zhu Yunwen had reassured them more than a month ago, he remained cautious and did not utter a single word about how he would deal with the threat posed by the Huaixi nobles.
Amidst an unknown unease.
It's only natural that Yuan Tai would keep this matter on his mind.
Zhu Yunwen's expression remained unchanged, and he even let out a soft sneer: "No need to postpone it, just submit a memorial requesting an investigation! Let them come and make trouble for me, I have plenty of ways to shut them up!"
