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

There was a hint of relief in Monk Daoyan's calm eyes.

This is also one of the reasons why he valued Zhu Di early on. Although he was self-reliant, he was not overly conceited. He was ambitious but not overly radical. He could calm down when he should.

This is the person who can accomplish great things.

He raised his palm and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Your Majesty has a keen eye! This is exactly what I was thinking."

At this time, Zhu Di also came out of his previous excitement.

He shook his head and smiled with some shame, saying: "Compared to Master Daoyan, my Taoism still needs more practice."

After saying this, he put away his chatty expression and said seriously, "Since we are going to attack the nobles in Huaixi next, I think we should find their weak points. After what happened, the most anxious people are obviously Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi, Huaiyuan Marquis Cao Xing, and Zhuolu Marquis Zhu Shou."

Monk Daoyan obviously also agreed very much.

He lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness's thoughts coincide with mine. Impulsive people tend to think less and are the most susceptible to being misled by words. Whether we want to exploit the conflict between them and the young emperor, or quietly gather information, they are the most suitable choice."

Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he said, "Since Master Daoyan has already made a perfect arrangement in mind, then let's leave this matter to Master Daoyan."

"The man behind Zhu Yunhuan has always been cautious and wary of us princes. My second and third brothers were suppressed before they even had a chance to raise an army. This is a lesson for us."

Monk Daoyan said nonchalantly, "Your Highness, there's no need to underestimate yourself. Your arrangements are flawless as well. Otherwise, with that man's methods, Peking would never have been so peaceful."

"But Qingshou Temple is no longer as inconspicuous as it used to be."

"For some reason, that person in the private residence has been keeping a close eye on me. I need to be more careful in my future actions..."

When it comes to this.

There was obvious confusion in Monk Daoyan's tone.

He really didn't understand why the Hongwu Emperor was so interested in him. He had only been here for a few months, but he already had quite a few spies around him.

If I hadn't always paid attention to intelligence confidentiality and had a strong awareness of anti-reconnaissance.

It’s hard to say what the situation will be like now.

But he was puzzled.

The one who wanted to rebel was his son, the Prince of Yan, the Hongwu Emperor. He was just a monk who "discussed scriptures and philosophy" with His Majesty the Prince of Yan. The Hongwu Emperor did not target his son who wanted to rebel, but targeted himself, the monk.

This was something he couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried.

Not only was he puzzled, Zhu Di was also puzzled: "My father...why is he staring at you?"

Monk Daoyan chuckled helplessly, "Even this poor monk can't figure it out. Well, even if the man in the private residence has many tricks up his sleeve to prevent anyone from touching him, he faked his own death and escaped, so it's still not advisable to expose him. At most, I can just have the few remaining men under my command keep an eye on him and be more vigilant. That's all that's left."

Zhu Di also nodded: "That's right... Our top priority should be to focus on the nobles in Huaixi. If everything goes well, and we can find out a little about the identity of the person behind Zhu Yunhuan, that would be even better."

There was a hint of anticipation and curiosity in his eyes.

This mystery... has troubled him and Monk Daoyan for a long time. As that person's magical powers gradually become apparent, the question of who this opponent playing chess with them is... becomes even more compelling.

It's not just Zhu Di.

Although Monk Daoyan was calmer and more composed than Zhu Di, his curiosity and desire to explore this matter were much deeper than Zhu Di's.

"The person behind the little emperor..."

When Monk Daoyan heard Zhu Di mention "this person", his eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp look suddenly flashed in his eyes which had always been calm. Then he raised his eyes and looked through the half-open window, looking far away towards the south.

He considers himself extremely gifted.

Being well versed in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and possessing the skills to slay dragons, he originally thought that... assisting the Prince of Yan, who had the appearance of a Taiping Emperor, to take control of Yingtian Prefecture would be as simple as a game. However, he did not expect... that such a person would suddenly appear in Yingtian Prefecture!

This was something he had not expected.

And within half a year, the other party gradually became a mountain pressing down on him!

if you can.

He really wanted to meet who that person was!

"I guess... I'll be able to see him someday."

As he thought this in his mind, Monk Daoyan's masseter muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly unconsciously, showing his extreme inner restlessness.

He even seemed to have not heard what Zhu Di asked him: "By the way, has there been any response from Mr. Yuan who went to Yingtian Prefecture a few months ago?"

I saw Monk Daoyan staring blankly at the south.

Zhu Di's heart couldn't help but become a little solemn.

Master Daoyan has been by his side for ten years. He always looked calm and composed, and had everything under control. From time to time, he would encourage this so-called "Emperor of Peace" in a rebellious way, but he had never lost his composure like this.

"Master Daoyan?" Zhu Di called out again tentatively.

Monk Daoyan finally came to his senses, retracted his gaze, and shook his head, a hint of hesitation on his face: "No, there has been no news since that reply letter a few months ago..."

This was also somewhat unusual for him.

He and Yuan Gong were friends of gentlemen, and they shared similar interests, but the other party hadn't found an opportunity for such a long time... Either the person behind the little emperor was too powerful, or... he didn't dare to think about it.
