"So my second brother was captured before he even had time to return to Xi'an, and my third brother was also suppressed as soon as he sent out his troops!"

After all, he was the one who could become Emperor Yongle. Although the information provided by Monk Daoyan was not very detailed, Zhu Di was able to roughly piece together the specific circumstances of what happened based on these rough fragments of information.

And speaking of this.

Zhu Di's back suddenly felt cold, and the hairs all over his body stood up!

This can only mean one thing, that the information from Yingtian Prefecture has reached such a rapid pace that it is impossible to stop hearing the news!!!

Monk Daoyan's eyes turned slightly cold. "Indeed, I'm afraid that Shaanxi and Shanxi have long been secretly under that person's nose. It's only been three months, and he's already so omnipotent. His methods and arrangements are even more terrifying than we imagined!"

Zhu Di tightly gripped the handles of the chair under him with both hands, and before he knew it, even his fingertips and knuckles had begun to turn white.

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "Shaanxi and Shanxi are both under his nose, and that king's Beiping City..."

This was what horrified him the most.

He now had no way of estimating how far and how far that person's eyes could see, nor could he predict how long that person's hands could reach!

If the other party's eyes could really see Beiping City like they did in Shaanxi and Shanxi... Although he thought he was very cautious and had few flaws, he also knew that he had done a lot of things in private, and there was always a possibility that the other party would notice something.

Whenever I reveal any flaws.

What will be the consequences?

After Zhu Di finished speaking, Monk Daoyan drank a sip of tea first, both to calm his mind and to give Zhu Di time to calm down.

After a moment, he slowly said, "I think that person's eyes should not be able to see Beiping at the moment."

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that ever since Zhu Yunhuan came to power, we have been extremely wary of the entry and exit of people in Beiping City. Even if this line of defense cannot prevent all spies and informants, we can always catch one or two spies to serve as a warning to us, right? So far, no such informants and informants have been caught. Beiping... should be safe for the time being." Monk Daoyan said in a firm tone.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di also breathed a sigh of relief.

Monk Daoyan continued, "And what about the man in the private residence? His Majesty faked his own death to escape. If the Yingtian Prefecture discovered this, his life would be in danger. He chose to stay in Peking, probably because he believed Peking was safe."

Zhu Di nodded in agreement: "Master Daoyan is right!"

However, even though he finally let go of his worries, his emotions immediately turned to disappointment and resentment: "But... if this continues, our chances will be slim..."

I am unwilling, extremely unwilling!

This is Zhu Di’s biggest worry at the moment.

He was clearly as brave and skilled in battle as his father, having guarded the northern border for ten years and achieved countless military exploits; he was clearly governing Peking, and the country had been peaceful for ten years; and he was clearly a young boy from Yingtian Prefecture who was completely incompetent, naughty and willful...

Why...I seem to be losing opportunities step by step for no apparent reason?

Not to mention Zhu Di, even Monk Daoyan was slightly stunned at this moment and fell silent. At the same time, he clenched his fists, his eyes staring blankly at something, as if he was thinking about something.

There was a sudden silence between the two of them.

I don’t know how long the silence lasted.

Monk Daoyan withdrew his gaze and looked up at Zhu Di, the host who looked a little lost, and said in a deep voice: "Now our hope lies only in the person in the private house!"

"Father?"

"Second and third brothers guard Shaanxi and Shanxi, both of which are fortresses. They have a large number of personal guards at their disposal and can mobilize a large number of troops. Now we have completely lost this support..."
