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

Fan Songde immediately responded, "I heard that His Majesty is very concerned about this! Whoever wins this prize will rise to prominence in the future. Brother Zhang, Brother Cao, Brother Zhu, what are your thoughts on this?"

Fan Songde finished speaking.

Zhang Yi immediately curled his lips and shook his head, saying, "Well, those stinking scholars like to find fault with things, but we are just rough and tumble people, we can't find any! I'm too lazy to even think about it!"

Although Zhu Yunhuan offered a huge prize, which was very attractive to most people, the Huaixi nobles were not very interested in it - they were warriors and reckless men, and they didn't like to use their brains.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Huaixi nobles, what they were waiting for, or even about to get, could not be compared with a mere "prize", so naturally it did not matter much.

Zhu Shou, standing by, raised an eyebrow and looked at Fan Songde, "Could it be that... you have some idea of ​​what the current emperor is thinking?"

This is the most exciting thing happening in Yingtian Prefecture recently.

Just because they don't want to think about it doesn't mean they don't want to listen or talk about it.

Fan Songde shook his head like a rattle and waved his hands: "How can we guess the imperial court's intentions? Do you have any clues? ... I have no clues at all..."

After saying this, Zhou Lixuan, who had already filled everyone's cups with wine, sat down again and continued following Fan Songde's words:

"Rumor has it that although our current emperor is young, there's someone powerful behind the scenes directing him! Last year, he repeatedly stirred up major waves and uproars, proving that even though that person hasn't shown his face, his methods are truly formidable! His thoughts... I'm afraid no one could fathom them."

After saying that, Zhou Lixuan raised his glass and gestured slightly, then drank it all in one gulp.

Fan Songde next to him had a faint smile on his face and gave him an affirmative look.

"The person behind the current emperor's guidance." - This is their real intention hidden in the drunken chat. However, they chat while drinking. No matter who you are, you will only think that they are just drinking and chatting.

Not to mention Zhang Yi, Cao Xing and Zhu Shou who were already in high spirits.

That's right.

These two "businessmen" who suddenly appeared, treated Zhang Yi and the other two as brothers and were generous with their money were the secret spies planted in Yingtian Prefecture in advance by Monk Daoyan.

Since the dramatic changes in the imperial court, the death of Emperor Hongwu, and the ascension of Zhu Yunhuan to the throne, the two of them, under the instruction of Monk Daoyan, began to quietly contact the Huaixi nobles.

He naturally knew the identities of Zhang Yi, Cao Xing and Zhu Shou.

But they are very cautious in doing things.

Even if there was some contact, it was always just a brief exchange, just a superficial acquaintance as a "wine lover". At most, when he was in the mood, he would just wave his hand and treat him to a drink.

But today.

They finally received different orders from Beiping City, so tonight, the two of them followed the whereabouts of Zhang Yi and the other two and came here, pretending to meet by chance.

Since this move is a step forward.

Naturally, they had to find out what they had long sought... the identity of the person behind the new emperor.

I heard Zhou Lixuan mention the so-called "behind the scenes" and "guidance".

Zhu Shou subconsciously revealed a somewhat complicated smile: "Ha! The person behind the current emperor's instructions..."

Not just him.

Zhang Yi and Cao Xing both drank the wine in their cups at the same time, with meaningful expressions on their faces.

Even if others don’t know, don’t they know?

Where can I get some guidance?

That teenage brat is amazing!

Of course, after all, he had worked under Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years. Although he couldn't control himself at once, he soon realized that he couldn't talk nonsense in public. So Zhu Shou pursed his lips and stopped talking halfway through.

Seeing the unusual expressions of the three people, Fan Songde and Zhou Lixuan were secretly startled and exchanged glances with each other without saying a word.
