"Your Majesty, I am scared to death," Cheng Hechuan said. "When I was kneeling in the court hall, my legs were shaking. When I walked into this room, I smelled the smell here and my stomach turned upside down."

"I'm afraid of death. I'm scared to death."

"But Chen is more afraid of one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm afraid that one day, it will be written in the history books that during the Hongwu period, all the loyal ministers and good generals were killed, and then there would be no one available in the court."

"You are good at talking," Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and paced around the room with his hands behind his back, "but it is useless just to talk. What I want is someone who can do things."

"The "History of the Yuan Dynasty" is a complete mess. I will give you three months to revise it again. If you fix it, I will give you a promotion. If you can't fix it well——"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the door and looked back at him.

"If you can't fix it, I'll settle the debt with you again today."

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang left without looking back.

The footsteps got farther and farther and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Cheng Hechuan sat on the cold chair, as if his whole body had been emptied out.

He's not dead.

He's really not dead.

My knees went weak and I really couldn't stand this time.

He slowly slid to the ground while holding on to the edge of the table. His back was covered in cold sweat, and he looked like he had just been fished out of the water.

"Master Cheng," the commander of the Jin Yiwei said expressionlessly, "please."

Cheng Hechuan stood up, his legs still shaking.

As he walked out of the torture chamber, he took one last look back at the room.

The oil lamp was still on, the flame swaying in the wind.

Jin Yiwei's "secret surveillance" was not secretive at all.

When Cheng Hechuan walked out of the imperial prison, he was followed by a captain in a Feiyu uniform, blatantly standing thirty steps away without even pretending.

The meaning is clear: Your Majesty is watching, you'd better be honest.

Cheng Hechuan ignored him.

There is only one thing on his mind right now, which is to rewrite "History of the Yuan Dynasty" in three months.

It sounded like an idle job, but he knew it was anything but idle.

The history of the Yuan Dynasty was originally chaotic, and Zhu Yuanzhang was a serious person and was extremely dissatisfied with the current version.

He had read the original "History of the Yuan Dynasty" and found it to be shoddy and full of inconsistencies.
