After hearing the answer given by Wei Wu, a hint of doubt flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's eyes.

In fact, it cannot be blamed on them for not being smart, but they cannot think from the overall perspective like Wei Wu.

The reason why Wei Wu could give this answer was because he was standing at the level of God's perspective.

He has some understanding of history, knows what happened later, and can make targeted speculations.

However, although Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had historical limitations, they had enough trust in Wei Wu.

So after Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said:

"Xiao Wu, tell us all your speculations. Let's see how they plan to retake our Han Dynasty!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Wei Wu nodded immediately, and then he said:

"Uncle Zhu, the Kong family is of Yuan Meng bloodline, there is no doubt about that, so their purpose is very clear."

"First, they left the Zhu family without a successor, so they killed the Crown Princess Chang, and then set their sights on Xiong Ying."

Having said that, Wei Wu turned around and looked at Zhu Biao and asked a question.

"Brother, if I hadn't intervened in the smallpox case, would Crown Princess Lu have stayed with you forever?"

Although he was unwilling to admit it in his heart, Zhu Biao had to admit it.

The smallpox case was too secretive. If Wei Wu had not intervened, he would not have suspected the Lu family.

"That's right. If you hadn't noticed the flaw in the smallpox case, Lu, as the Crown Princess, would have stayed by my side."

"That's right, big brother, do you remember? I said you died in the 25th year of Hongwu, and the cause of death is unknown."

This sentence had a bit of a curse in it, but Zhu Biao didn't feel any emotion after hearing it.

He just nodded slightly to indicate that he remembered, and then he heard Wei Wu continue:

"If nothing unexpected happens, you were killed by the Lu family. Like I said, they want the Zhu family to have no successors."

"In the 25th year of Hongwu, Mr. Zhu is old and Yunhu is no longer useful. If you are eliminated, Mr. Zhu will have no choice but to choose Zhu Yunwen."

"But Zhu Yunwen is the son of the Lu family and has been taught Confucianism since childhood. Once he comes to power, he will definitely use Confucian officials. This is one reason!"

In order to give the two people time to digest, Wei Wu paused for a moment before continuing:

"But if we want to attack the prince without revealing any flaws, we must wait for the right opportunity. It will be a long wait."

"So during this process, the Kong family will begin other preparations, such as sending Yao Guangxiao to contact the Prince of Yan. This is the second step!"

"Actually, I've always found this matter very strange. The timing of Yao Guangxiao's contact with the Prince of Yan is really unreasonable."

Having said that, Wei Wu looked directly at Zhu Biao.

"In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, which is this year, my eldest brother is only thirty-three years old. He can be said to be in the prime of his life, in the heyday of his youth."

After talking about Zhu Biao, Wei Wu turned and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Although Mr. Zhu is already fifty years old, he has spent his entire life in the military, and his body is much stronger than that of a young man. He is very healthy."

"Could it be that Yao Guangxiao is a fool? In this situation, he still went to the King of Yan and bluntly said that he would give him a white hat."

"The problem is, as can be seen from subsequent historical developments, Yao Guangxiao was no fool; he was even incredibly intelligent."

"So I concluded that Yao Guangxiao was just taking this opportunity to get close to the Prince of Yan and make himself familiar with him, paving the way for the future."

Wei Wu's mouth was dry from talking all the time, and there happened to be some tea on the table.

He didn't care who the tea belonged to. He just took it and drank it all in one gulp.

While Wei Wu was drinking water, Zhu Yuanzhang was actually thinking about this matter in his heart.

Although he has many sons, he knows his own sons' moral character better than anyone else.
