"Liu Sanwu?" Zhu Yunhuan subconsciously glanced towards the door, then chuckled: "He also knows about the Huaixi nobles?"

After being threatened by him several times.

Zhu Yunhuan could clearly feel that these three old men generally didn't like to look for him unless there was something serious at work or something that had to be discussed. Even Liu Sanwu was the same.

Everything has been fine recently, except that the nobles in Huaixi have started to go astray.

Liu Sanwu came to him in a hurry.

I guess it can only be because of this matter.

Hearing what Zhu Yunhuan said, Ma Sanbao seemed to remember something.

She slowly said, "Your Majesty, when I was going to the Internal Audit Bureau to deliver the imperial edict, I happened to run into Zhao Chenshi of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who was delivering the message."

As the commander of the Jinyiwei, Song Zhong now has a lot of things to do. Zhao Feng, the Jinyiwei assistant who often accompanies Zhu Yunhuan, is loyal and reliable, so Zhu Yunhuan simply puts the intelligence mission in the capital area in his hands.

Zhu Yunxun said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Ma Sanbao nodded and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty was discussing the account books with Commander Song, Zhao Chenshi told me the matter first: He said that this scholar Liu and the Minister of Works, Master Fu, had gone to the residence of the Minister of Personnel, Master Zhan, one after another."

Zhu Yunhuan nodded: "Zhan Hui has always been the most informed."

The news spread to the Qianqing Palace.

Liu Sanwu came right after.

Zhu Yunhuan casually placed his hands on his bent knees, tapping them lightly as he pondered for a moment. He had a rough idea of ​​what was going on:

The Huaixi nobles he relied on could no longer suppress the situation. In the eyes of others, he had fallen into a dead end where it was useless to intervene or not.

Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen, those two old idiots, how could they not see through this situation? Of course, these two old hands didn't want to see this happen, but they also knew that coming to me was pointless. Should they persuade me to intervene? Or should they just ignore it?

It's not worth it because you might get yourself into trouble.

As for Liu Sanwu, he was not afraid of death or offending people, but he was anxious, so he came.

"Then... will Your Majesty summon Scholar Liu?" Ma Sanbao asked uncertainly.

Zhu Yunhuan did not answer him immediately.

Instead, he leaned against the soft couch, thinking silently. After a while... as if he had an idea in mind, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly brightened, and smiled meaningfully, "You've come just in time! See you."

"Yes." Ma Sanbao responded to Zhu Yunhuan's order.

Then he walked towards the door, opened the vermilion lacquer door, looked at Liu Sanwu outside, his face wrinkled and old, his expression burning with anxiety, and extended his hand to invite him in, saying, "Master Liu? Come in quickly. It's cold outside. Don't freeze yourself."

Liu Sanwu raised his eyes, and his turbid eyes lit up slightly: "You are too polite, sir." He said politely.

Generally speaking, scholars look down on eunuchs, but Ma Sanbao has been with Zhu Yunhuan in the Eastern Palace for so many years, and has always cooperated with Zhu Yunhuan in running errands. Unlike most eunuchs who are flattering and spineless, he makes people respect him a little.

But right now he has more urgent things to do.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he walked through the door and hurried to Zhu Yunhuan, bowing and saying, "I, Liu Sanwu, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

He even forgot to wait for Zhu Yunhuan to ask him something.

He knelt tremblingly on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness first! Even though I know that I have committed treason, there are some things I must say to Your Majesty!"

"Speak." Zhu Yunhuan said concisely.

"Your Majesty is very perceptive and must have been aware of the actions of Marquis Heqing, Marquis Huaiyuan, and Marquis Zhulu. Your Majesty is intelligent and adept at strategic planning, so you naturally understand that this is a dilemma."

"Therefore, Your Majesty, I earnestly request to know what methods were used to persuade the nobles of Huaixi, the dukes and marquises, to change their ways and remain docile for several months. I know I am not as talented as Your Majesty, but I do have some knowledge of the classics, history, and literature, and I am somewhat older and more experienced. If I knew Your Majesty's methods, perhaps I could find some useful solution."
