Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

The two had known each other for ten years, so Zhu Di was naturally very familiar with Daoyan. Seeing Daoyan's expression, he guessed something. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Master Daoyan seems to have a new idea in mind?"

Monk Daoyan smiled faintly: "Your Highness, do you still remember Yuan Gong?"

Upon hearing this name, Zhu Di's expression froze for a moment, then he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Of course I remember. Two years ago, Master Daoyan brought him here for my fortune-telling. However, his words were so rebellious and outspoken that I didn't dare to keep him."

In fact, his heart was far less calm than what he showed on the surface.

Yuan Gong.

Of course he remembers this person!

When the other party came to read Zhu Di's face, Zhu Di selected nine guards who were similar in appearance and body shape to himself in order to test Yuan Gong's ability, and had the ten of them drink with him. As a result, Yuan Gong recognized him immediately and bowed to him on the spot.

Even though others said he was wrong, he remained very confident.

Not only that.

This Yuan Gong even said that he "walked like a dragon and a tiger, with the horns of the sun piercing the sky, a perfect appearance of a peaceful emperor." He also said that the captains and soldiers in his mansion would all become dukes, marquises, and generals in the future...

However, the political situation was stable at that time, and the position of the eldest brother Zhu Biao was even more solid.

Although Zhu Di was secretly happy, he knew even more about the character of his father in Yingtian Prefecture. He was extremely partial to his father!

In his eyes, his sons were divided into two categories: his eldest brother Zhu Biao and the other princes.

If you show any ambition at all, you will definitely suffer the consequences.

But Yuan Gong was not like the monk Daoyan, who only spoke when no one was around and would not make witty remarks like wearing a white hat. This person spoke too directly and did not avoid others. Zhu Di was worried that he would get into trouble because of this, so he could only pretend to disagree and immediately sent Yuan Gong back to his hometown.

Seeing Zhu Di put on an upright and honest appearance whenever he mentioned this person, Daoyan coughed twice helplessly: "Ahem, Your Highness, there are no outsiders here at the moment, and our Emperor Hongwu has already... Your Highness, there is no need to act anymore."

Only then did Zhu Di react.

He gave a slightly awkward smile and said, "Master Daoyan, you say."

However, he still had some doubts in his heart: Yuan Gong's ability to read faces was indeed very accurate, but he did not seem to be good at making strange plans or anything like that. Under the current circumstances, looking for Yuan Gong... seemed to have no practical use?

At this time, Monk Daoyan asked, "What are we lacking now?"

Zhu Di replied without hesitation, "According to intelligence, Yingtian Prefecture is thousands of miles away from Beiping, and the man behind the Huaixi nobles is so well hidden... It's a pity that we are a step too late this time, and Fifth Brother's line is broken."

"If it's broken, just find another one." Monk Daoyan said calmly.

"Looking again?" Zhu Di was puzzled for a moment.

The lines in front of him were: one was King Zhou Zhu Su, and the other was the family of his wife Xu Miaoyun, with whom he had a deep affection.

However, Xu Miaoyun's family had a very close relationship with Xu Zengshou, who had been sent to Shaanxi to train troops and defend the border last year. Xu Huizu had inherited the title of Duke of Wei from Xu Da, King of Zhongshan, and was very enthusiastic and supportive of the legitimate heir to the throne. His younger sister, Xu Miaojin, who had been in frequent contact through correspondence, had even run away from home...

Monk Daoyan did not want to sell his relationship. He took the copy of the imperial edict that recruited alchemists from all over the world and brought it back to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, take a look at this again."

"The imperial edict from the new emperor to refine the elixir?" Zhu Di frowned slightly at first, then his eyes lit up and he showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Master Daoyan means that Mr. Tingyu should take this opportunity to go to Yingtian Prefecture to respond to the call, directly infiltrate the inner court, and go to my nephew to directly gather information?" Zhu Di understood Daoyan's meaning in an instant, and was secretly delighted. He even called Yuan Gong by his courtesy name instead of his real name.
