The joints of his fists made a slight sound. "Master Daoyan is talking about my father."

He did not forget what Monk Daoyan said on the way back to the palace from his private residence: His father is even... helping that little bastard to plot against him.

At first he didn't want to think so.

Nor willing to admit it.

But Monk Daoyan pointed out that he was not a stubborn person, even if he was still lost, sad, unwilling, and resentful...

But he continued with a clear mind, continuing with Monk Daoyan's words, "Regarding the unusual movements of the Huaixi nobles and the impending chaos in Yingtian Prefecture, I think Father has already made up his mind to side with that brat Zhu Yunhuan. Even... it's unclear whether he will come forward to help."

This was something he had never thought of before.

That was the almighty Hongwu Emperor, and in Yingtian Prefecture, there was a man who forced his grandson to fake his death.

Zhu Di never imagined that his father would most likely choose to stand firmly on the side of Yingtian Prefecture!

"Your Highness Prince Yan is wise."

Monk Daoyan's calm eyes shone with admiration: "Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan had obsessions, he has already broken free from them! He is constantly growing, and he will become an extraordinary emperor."

And this emperor was chosen by Dao Yan!

Monk Daoyan took a deep breath, a smile on his lips as he said, "So, from now on, when His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is in front of that person in the private residence, he must not only be extra careful with his words and actions, but also treat him as if he is half from Yingtian Prefecture and be on guard against him..."

Zhu Di looked complicated and nodded solemnly.

Said: "This king understands."

He took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Perhaps...if something happens in Yingtian Prefecture, my father will even jump out and ask me and the other princes to send Zhu Yunhuan, that young boy, to justice."

In fact, Zhu Di was not wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang had this idea a long time ago.

Monk Daoyan did not deny Zhu Di's speculation, but cast a look of deep agreement at him and said, "We are not worried about the person in the private residence having any ideas, but we are afraid that this incident will happen unexpectedly. Regardless of whether the person in the private residence has such ideas or not, we should take precautions accordingly."

"What we need to consider now is...how to prevent it."

"The Huaixi nobles are reckless, brutal, and lack respect, but this also has one good thing. They won't be like others, blindly fearing and obeying the man in the private residence. If my spies instigate trouble in Yingtian Prefecture and disrupt the situation in Yingtian Prefecture..."

"It was the people Your Majesty left in Yingtian Prefecture who really produced his will."

"It's not very useful."

Having said that, Monk Daoyan raised his eyebrows and his eyes flickered.

Zhu Di's eyes glared, and he said, "Master Daoyan's point is that when things get chaotic, the sword that Father has hung over our heads won't be as sharp anymore, so... we can try to prevent Father from jumping out."

He immediately understood what Monk Daoyan meant.

Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang had hung a sword over their heads, leaving a "will" in Yingtian Prefecture in order to contain Zhu Di and his men. But as long as this sword is not so sharp...

They tried to suppress their father in Peking, clipped the wings that his father had left here, and put him under house arrest...

My father has no way to help Zhu Yunhuan in Yingtian Prefecture!

Monk Daoyan took a deep breath.

No words were spoken.

Obviously, he completely agreed with Zhu Di's understanding.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, frowning, and said hesitantly, "I just don't know how much influence Father still has in Peking. After these past few months, you and I both know that the means Father retains are not so superficial."

If I take action, but can't suppress my father, this big Buddha...

That would be bad.

Monk Daoyan was silent for a moment, as if thinking deeply. He then said, "Relying solely on the power of the Yan Clan might be possible, but there are also risks. To be absolutely sure, perhaps... we could seek out another force to join forces as advisors."

Zhu Di paused as he looked at Monk Daoyan, then hesitated and said, "Master Daoyan, are you talking about Seventeenth Brother?"

Monk Daoyan smiled faintly and said, "Although Prince Ning is young, he is very brave. Daning Prefecture faces the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north and needs to defend against enemies from all directions year round. He has 80,000 armored soldiers and 6,000 chariots. His three Doyan cavalrymen are originally surrendered tribes from the Northern Yuan Dynasty and are as brave and skilled in fighting as those barbarians."

The power from Daning Prefecture.

Monk Daoyan had already made up his mind. In history, he and Zhu Di also made the same idea: "As long as there are enough conditions to make Prince Ning
