"Hiss...what's with those expressions?"

"Could it be that there's some hidden secret here that no one else knows about!?"

Although their previous interactions with Zhang Yi and others were brief, they had already gotten a good grasp of the temperaments and styles of these warriors.

They can naturally and keenly perceive what is on the mind of straightforward and carefree people.

If only the captain Zhu Shou was like this, it would be fine.

Although Huaiyuan Marquis Cao Xing and Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi did not speak, their expressions were equally unusual.

Think of this.

Both Fan Songde and Zhou Lixuan... couldn't help but secretly gasp. Although they tried their best to maintain the look of being addicted to alcohol, in fact, their hearts had already started beating fast.

Originally, they just wanted to give it a try.

But don't want to.

As soon as this sentence was mentioned, I got a glimpse of some clues!

"Why did you stop talking halfway? He stood behind His Majesty and directed that person, but he never revealed his true identity. Everyone in the court and the country is very curious. Could it be that Brother Zhu knows something?" Zhou Lixuan lowered his voice and asked with pretended curiosity.

If the other party can continue to spit.

Who knows, there will be a big harvest this time!!

After Zhou Lixuan finished speaking, Fan Songde's eyes became serious, and he looked quietly at Zhang Yi, Cao Xing and Zhu Shou.

Unfortunately.

Having been in the imperial court, especially after having been baptized by the suspicious Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Shou did not respond to his words.

He just poured wine into his own cup and shook his head, saying, "Nothing. How would we know about these things? Drink!"

After saying this, the glass of wine was filled.

He simply tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, obviously intending to move on from the topic.

Zhou Lixuan's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and say something, but Fan Songdra beside him pulled the corner of his clothes and gave him a look to stop him from asking any further questions.

Zhou Lixuan showed a relieved look.

He and Fan Songde immediately raised their glasses and responded to Zhu Shou's suggestion: "Drink, drink! Cheers!"

There is a tacit understanding between the two.

As soon as Fan Songde reminded him, Zhou Lixuan realized that the most important purpose of his trip was to first penetrate the small group of these three people and gain their complete trust, so that he could complete the task assigned by his master: to muddy the waters, and when necessary, he could also adapt to the situation and cooperate with the outside forces.

Besides, although I didn’t say much just now.

However, a lot of information has been revealed - the strange expressions of Marquis Heqing, Marquis Huaiyuan and Marquis Zhuolu. Perhaps he has no clue, but if this information is passed to the master, perhaps he will be able to see things that he cannot see.

It is certainly not appropriate to alert the enemy at this time.

Zhang Yi and Cao Xing were naturally happy to let this matter go quickly. With each of them thinking about it, they toasted their glasses once more and began to cheer...

A glass of wine.

It was as if the little incident just now had never happened.

After three more glasses of wine, Zhou Lixuan brought the topic back to the beginning, saying, "Just now we were discussing the prize and two exam questions given by His Majesty the Current Emperor... Although I don't fully understand those confusing concepts like 'bad money driving out good money,' 'inflation,' and 'lack of credibility,' I believe I can see something."

Zhang Yi and the other two were happy to just chat about the exam questions.

Zhu Shou, the captain of the chariot, said with great interest, "Oh? I knew you were a good drinker, but I didn't know you could discuss history and politics with those sour-smelling scholars and candidates. Have fun today, come and tell us."

Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde exchanged glances.

Then he raised the wine glass in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said: "I think... Your Majesty wants to be a good emperor!" His tone was confident and determined.

Although this sentence was said in light of the current bustle in Yingtian Prefecture.

In fact, it is a more important task than "exploring the identity of the person behind the little emperor"! - In front of the Huaixi nobles, he emphasized that the little emperor must be a good emperor.

Because they know it now.

A tacit understanding had already been reached between the Huaixi nobles and the new emperor! Therefore, this was the best way to sow discord!

They might not be able to guess the purpose and answers of the two test questions posed by the little emperor this time, but the things involved... as long as they can be used to build these three people, it's good!

Hearing Zhou Lixuan's words.

Zhang Yi, Cao Xing and Zhu Shou didn't understand for a moment.

"Look at this exam question."

"On the surface, it sounds like a so-called exam question, but in reality, it involves two major issues of the Ministry of Revenue!"

"The first major event is the change of era name to a new dynasty. New coins are usually designed and minted to symbolize the change of course and to highlight the new emperor's power and virtue. The second major event is said to be also due to the new emperor's ascension to the throne. The current Minister of Revenue, Lord Fu, requested permission to increase the printing of Ming Treasure Notes..."

"These two things,"
