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

have to say.

Even though Monk Daoyan had a pair of sharp eyes and knew what Zhu Di was thinking, kind words always work.

Monk Daoyan felt relieved immediately, his brows relaxed slightly, and he slowly said, "I will definitely play this game with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan until the end."

"it is good!!"

"When the time comes, this prince and Master Daoyan will step into Fengtian Palace together."

The situation now seems to have turned around slightly, and the operation in Yingtian Prefecture is going smoothly. Naturally, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel excited.

Both men are smart people.

Some thoughts, emotions and even small grudges in one's heart will not be revealed.

All that was left was a knowing smile between them.

And both of them understood.

A good chess player should always look ahead.

After a pause, Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "We've managed to pry open a crack with the Huaixi nobles, and this mountain... is already in danger. So, what's next..."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so impatient for the time being."

"Instead, we should remain constant in the face of ever-changing circumstances. Be careful not to let Yingtian Prefecture get hold of any evidence that would embarrass me."

After saying this, Zhu Di's eyes fixed.

He knew the last trump card in his hand...

Apart from the destabilizing factors posed by the Huaixi nobles to Yingtian Prefecture, the people under his command now are the personal soldiers of the Yan clan, the Three Guards of Yanshan, as well as the foundation and reputation he has accumulated while guarding Beiping Prefecture.

It has come to this critical juncture.

He had to consider making the Huaixi nobles cause chaos as soon as possible. Equally important was to ensure his most basic strength, or in other words, to ensure that he could maintain the status quo and not attract the attention of Yingtian Prefecture and cause unnecessary trouble.

Otherwise, if we were caught with something and Yingtian Prefecture noticed and weakened us, then Yingtian Prefecture would be in chaos as expected, and we wouldn't have much chance of winning.

Monk Daoyan naturally understood Zhu Di's thoughts.

This coincided with what he thought.

He smiled faintly and nodded, saying, "Your Highness is right. Now we have finally waited for our chance. Times like this require stability. The most stable strategy is to remain constant in the face of ever-changing circumstances."

"We must be more humble towards the imperial court and protect the foundation of Peking."

"As for the rest, whether it's instigating the Huaixi nobles or trying to uncover that person's true identity, I'll hand them over to the two secret agents in Yingtian Prefecture. They are simply unscrupulous businessmen who scheme for the Huaixi nobles in order to curry favor with the powerful and gain benefits. They have nothing to do with either Your Highness the Prince of Yan or me."

Monk Daoyan raised one hand and lowered his eyes, as if he was seriously talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

At this moment.

The circle in Zhu Di's mind seemed to have returned to the same path.

He said, "It seems that this prince has a rare moment of leisure to think about the two exam questions mentioned by the emperor father... If we can brainstorm and come up with a solution, wouldn't it be harmless?"

Monk Daoyan's heart moved slightly.

He immediately threw the thought out of his mind, shook his head and said, "I'm obsessed...I'm obsessed..."

Zhu Di also came back to his senses, with an awkward smile on his face, and said: "Yes, I am obsessed again."

Monk Daoyan narrowed his eyes and sighed with regret: "The man in the private residence really used a good trick." He understood that Zhu Di did not fail to understand the truth, but when he was obsessed with something, he would always involuntarily run into this so-called obsession.

Even I was distracted when His Highness mentioned it.

However, thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang at this time reminded Monk Daoyan. His eyes became stern and he looked at Zhu Di and said, "Your Highness, in addition to guarding against the court and the person behind the little emperor noticing Beiping Prefecture, there is another person we must also be on guard against."

At this time, Zhu Di had already gotten over the reluctance he felt when he first left the private residence.

I understood immediately.
