Even he didn't notice.
When he said this, both his tone and expression had completely returned to the absolute obedience and awe he had before.
This is the situation now.
His only way out is to take good care of his father.
But for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even though he had seen through Zhu Di, or rather, seen through Monk Daoyan's plans and plots, he was unwilling and would not break off relations with him at this moment.
After all, the dangers he faced were not only from vassal kings like Zhu Di, or ambitious people like Monk Daoyan, but also from potential dangers in Yingtian Prefecture. He needed such a comfortable and safe place to stay, and also needed a place to observe the environment of Yingtian Prefecture in peace and stability.
And he could see it.
Both Zhu Di and the monk Daoyan beside him had fully understood the meaning of the proposal - this place to stay would be very comfortable.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, his eyes flickering meaningfully, and said, "We know you are a good child."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the monk Daoyan next to him intentionally or unintentionally.
There was no fierceness in his eyes.
However, it gave Monk Daoyan an extremely strong sense of oppression, as well as a penetrating power—as if it could see through him!—which inexplicably made Monk Daoyan's hair stand on end.
Zhu Di had no other choice.
He could only agree in a perfunctory manner, saying, "The father is the leader of the son, and the king is the leader of the ministers. As a son, of course I will obey your words, Dad." He was agreeing on the surface, but in fact he was giving Zhu Yuanzhang a guarantee.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud and gave a symbolic compliment, "Hahahaha! I remember that you, the fourth child, were the most mischievous in the past. Now, after ten years of experience in Peking, you have become more stable and sensible."
Zhu Di agreed with an awkward yet polite smile, but in his heart, a thousand horses were galloping through his body. He secretly criticized: "You always calculate everything clearly. How dare I be so careless and ignorant..."
Next, the father and son had an in-depth discussion on the subsequent plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". They both expressed their curiosity about the identity of the strange little beggar that Guo Jing met, and felt that he must be no simple person.
The two of them smiled with "the father is loving and the son is filial, and they are in great joy", as if they were in tune with each other, as if the previous tricks and undercurrents had never happened at all.
When the time is about right.
Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan exchanged glances and found an excuse to leave. Zhu Yuanzhang had already put this card on the table, so he naturally had no other worries and did not stay any longer.
Watching the disappearing backs of Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan.
Zhu Yuanzhang's smile suddenly faded, a look of disappointment showing on his face. He sighed softly, "It seems that the Fourth Master really trusts me as the Head Monk. Moreover...this monk Daoyan might have even had murderous intentions behind the Fourth Master's back!"
After guessing almost everything about Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan early in the morning.
Of course, he had been paying close attention to the changes in the two people's emotions and expressions.
When Zhu Di was nervous, he subconsciously looked at Daoyan. When he heard Daoyan's card, the murderous intent, the bad luck, the shock and the fear flashed across Daoyan's face...
He captured them all.
So.
He probably knew that if he didn't reveal his cards today, even if Zhu Di didn't take action, this monk in black would probably attack him soon.
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a surge of fear. He looked at the withered brown-black branches in the distance outside the door, his eyes narrowed slightly, "This monk Daoyan's Qi cultivation skills are excellent."
"Even though we just laid out such a big card in front of them, he showed almost no flaws. If I hadn't been carefully observing his and the Fourth Brother's expressions from beginning to end, I wouldn't have noticed much."
"It's a good thing I heard the little wolf cub mutter about him early on. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I will be killed by this black-hearted monk who has no respect for the emperor, father, or moral principles."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with a look of relief.
Even though he had heard the name of Monk Daoyan from Zhu Yunhuan several times before.
He hadn't thought about it either.
This troublemaker turned out to be such a traitor who had no respect for the emperor or his father. He regarded the imperial power and the emperor and his father as things that could be manipulated. He wanted to kill me the day after I arrived in Peking.
The key is that this troublemaker is too indifferent, too calm, and too steady.
If only I hadn't paid special attention to him.
It will definitely capsize in the ditch.
Nothing else.
Even if he had a royal flush in his hand, he still had to have a chance to play it. But generally speaking, who would play a royal flush at the start of a game? If he hadn't been prepared for this monk Daoyan, he would probably have killed him before he could even play his royal flush... He might not even have had a chance to play his cards.
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and looked at the snow in the courtyard outside in silence for a long time.
Then he laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head: "This little wolf cub... can be considered to have indirectly saved my life by mumbling."
But he still couldn't understand: how could Zhu Yunhuan's casual complaints hit the target so accurately?
"Since this monk Daoyan is so rebellious, and you now have the initiative in Peking, why don't you put pressure on His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to deal with him?" Lu Wei was silent for a moment beside Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked in confusion.
He felt that this was not the style of Emperor Hongwu.
Zhu Yuanzhang, however, chuckled nonchalantly: "Because the little wolf cub said he wanted to capture this monk and use him as a beast of burden... to perform some... grand ceremony... I'm a little curious, hahahaha!"
