Zhu Di felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. The solemn expression on his face faded, and a look of joy appeared on his face. "I was just saying... where in the world can there be such a thing as a magic potion? It's a harsh saying, but it's true: a dog will always eat shit."

"How could the greed of these people disappear all of a sudden?"

After saying that, Zhu Di finally sat down with peace of mind. His expression became much calmer. He picked up the teacup beside him and slowly took a sip of tea.

Monk Daoyan narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and said, "Of course they're greedy! The Huaixi nobles are all a group of people who are afraid of poverty. For most of them, no amount of money... even mountains of gold and silver, can satisfy their fear of poverty. And this fear manifests itself in their unscrupulous greed, plunder, and robbery..."

I have to say that Monk Daoyan had a very thorough understanding of human nature.

This is also the reason why he never had any thoughts of giving up even in the previous situation where he was frustrated everywhere.

He always believed that their current difficulties must be temporary.

The nobles of Huaixi have a greedy nature that is almost impossible to change - it seems stable, but in fact it may become his sharp weapon at any time - Yingtian Prefecture has always buried such a time bomb!

His silence and hesitation just now were simply because he was clueless for a moment.

And now.

The bomb is finally about to explode.

The handle of the sharp blade was finally placed in front of him!

Zhu Di also understood Monk Daoyan's considerations. Although his face was still a little haggard, he seemed to have regained his spirits. He raised his head slightly, took a deep breath, and said with a stern look, "Next, we can focus on the nobles in Huaixi."

"Before, they stood firmly and unconditionally on Zhu Yunhuan's side, but now this seemingly solid barrier has faintly begun to crack. I'm afraid someone will soon tear it open."

"And once this hole is torn open..."

"It will be like an ant hole on a thousand-mile dike, it will be out of control!" Zhu Di said in a firm tone.

Having said that, he paused for a moment, took a sip of tea and pondered.

After a while, he said, "Does the person behind Zhu Yunhuan have any way to deal with it? Master Daoyan, if you were in that position, would you have any way to solve it?"

Zhu Di thought about it for a long time just now, but at least he couldn't think of any solution.

Because when it comes to the Huaixi nobles, both Zhu Yunhuan and the person behind him... were too dependent and over-reliant.

Relying too much on others for your life and honor means that you have given them complete control over you.

After saying this, Zhu Di looked at Monk Daoyan seriously.

He had to admit that this monk, who had liked to instigate his rebellion since ten years ago, could often see things that others could not see and think of methods that ordinary people could not think of.

Fortunately, after a moment of silence, Monk Daoyan's voice rang out in the hall: "No way, this is a dilemma!"

Monk Daoyan's voice gave Zhu Di a very reassuring feeling.

"The unrest among the Huaixi nobles has already begun, indicating that their patience has been gradually worn out. This is a trend that cannot be reversed. Faced with such unrest, the person behind the new emperor has only two choices."

"First, control? But can he? Or rather... dare he control these Huaixi nobles? Asking them to behave themselves forever is like asking for the lives of those arrogant and powerful generals. They absolutely won't do it!"

"If the Huaixi nobles refuse to cooperate, the new emperor will lose his military support. Not only will he lose support, but he will even gain another source of opposition. The vassal kings who were finally subdued are more likely to rise again."

Monk Daoyan paused, glanced at the other three people present, raised his hand and extended two fingers to make a "two" gesture: "The second option is to do nothing."
