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

"But they weren't too stupid. When we continued to ask, they hesitated and didn't reveal anything to us."

Fan Songde nodded, a look of regret on his face. "It's a pity indeed. The master attaches great importance to that person's identity. It would be great if we could find out the truth today."

Zhou Lixuan took a deep breath.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke, "There's no need to rush. Huaiyuan Marquis Cao Xing has already arranged for us to meet at Zuiyue Tower next time. If nothing goes wrong, the next time will be a true olive branch. Take it step by step, and successfully become the advisor of these three warriors and gain their trust. There's no need to worry about the waters of Yingtian Prefecture not being muddied, or that person's identity not being revealed."

Fansund nodded.

He looked up at the rising sun outside, a hint of pride and sharpness in his eyes, and then he retracted his gaze, which fell on the tip of the pen in his hand, and his wrist moved.

I concisely wrote down what happened today as information.

Finished.

He exhaled and waited for the ink to dry.

But suddenly, as if remembering something, he looked up at Zhou Lixuan and said, "Do you have any ideas about the two exam questions given by the little emperor? I have a feeling that this is no small matter."

Zhou Lixuan laughed at himself, shook his head, and said, "This is obviously the work of the military advisor behind the young emperor. That person has the scheming and ability to change the situation and stir up trouble. Even the master can't help but be wary of him. I can't guess what he's thinking."

After saying this, he sighed deeply and continued, "As soon as the exam questions come out, we should rush and secretly send them to Peking. Perhaps only the master can figure it out."

Fan Songde smiled in agreement with this.

No more worries.

He sealed up the intelligence he had compiled, called someone in, and sent it to Peking as quickly as possible.

Wait for the person who received the information to leave the study.

Fan Songde and Zhou Lixuan both breathed a sigh of relief, their tense expressions relaxing considerably. Fan Songde glanced at the study door that had just been closed and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Although only the master can solve the test, we can find out the identity of that person first!"

At this point, his expression grew serious again. "Next... this is it. We'll give the Master a surprise then! Even if this person is hiding in the dark, the Master will be able to find a flaw. If we pull this person out of the shadows, the Master will definitely be more successful!"

Zhou Lixuan sneered: "This matter will be settled soon."

……

Last winter the snow fell particularly heavily and for a long time. However, after the New Year, it was sunny all the way down. The accumulated snow was slowly melting, making the roads much easier to walk on and to gather information.

Beiping.

Zhu Di's private residence has now become Zhu Yuanzhang's place of retirement and comfort.

Zhu Yuanzhang was leisurely walking his bird in a cage in his yard, a smile on his wrinkled old face: "Last winter was cold, but this year the sun has been out for many days, and it's finally warmer outside."

"Let's read it. What did the little wolf cub do?"

"The first year of Kaiqian was the first year that he truly took charge of the government. There were a lot of things to do at the beginning of the year." Zhu Yuanzhang said with interest.

He was slightly hunched over, holding a bird cage in his right hand and his left hand behind his back, living a very comfortable retirement life.

Regarding the information coming from Yingtian Prefecture.

He was no longer as nervous and worried as he was at the beginning.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Wei opened the intelligence in his hand and said jokingly with a smile: "Your Majesty, now that I am working on your intelligence, it feels easy! In the past, if there was anything, Your Majesty would be eager to read it yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang whistled at the bird in his hand.

He said with a smile, "That was when our eldest grandson took over this position. This position... is above everyone else, but it's not one that can be easily held. Of course, we have to keep an eye on it."

"But our eldest grandson is a dragon among men!"

"This position is exactly where he should be sitting. He does a better job than us. What do we have to worry about? Hahahaha!"

After saying this, he raised his head and gazed fixedly at the southern sky, muttering, "Your Majesty Kaiqian... Kaiqian... Open up the universe of eternity..."

Then he burst into a hearty laugh: "Hahahahahaha! What a great reign title! It's a great reign title! And a great ambition!"
