Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Hearing what Monk Daoyan said.

Zhu Di's worry faded, and he turned thoughtful. "I'm glad Fifth Brother is alright, but... he's being held captive in Yingtian Prefecture. If I write to him, wouldn't there be a risk of discovery, exposing my intentions and potentially putting Fifth Brother in danger?"

Zhu Di was always cautious, and even intelligence information was passed through Daoyan.

Nature took this into consideration.

"It's okay if I'm away, but my fifth brother is under the noses of those Huaixi generals." Zhu Di frowned slightly.

Although the royal family was ruthless, the friendship between him and Zhu Su was real. In history, when Zhu Di intended to reduce the military strength of the vassal kings, Zhu Su took the initiative to return his three guards.

That's why Zhu Di was secretly happy after hearing Monk Daoyan's analysis.

If he doesn’t help me, who else can I help?

Just in the meantime.

There is inevitably some concern and worry in my heart.

Monk Daoyan raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Highness is thoughtful and thoughtful, so this matter must be done through this humble monk. Your Highness only needs to provide me with a token that will surely gain His Highness King Zhou's trust."

"The situation in the capital is unclear right now. What we need to do now is to get comprehensive information. This is the most important thing. Fortunately, we have His Royal Highness Prince Zhou, who can help us deal with this matter with ease."

He and Zhu Di walked slowly forward side by side, with one hand raised, saying.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Daoyan."

After saying this, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Monk Daoyan. He then couldn't help but ask, "Judging from the actions of the man behind the Huaixi general, has he also learned the Dragon Slaying Technique like Master Daoyan?"

Monk Daoyan glanced at Zhu Di.

He smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Yan wants to ask, who is better at dragon slaying between this poor monk and that man, hehe."

Zhu Di's expression froze when his thoughts were pointed out. A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. He hurriedly explained, "Master Daoyan misunderstood. I didn't mean to question you."

Since the fifteenth year of Hongwu, he and Monk Daoyan have been friends for ten years.

Although he usually said things insincerely like "Master Daoyan is joking again", "Master Daoyan, please don't say such treasonous words anymore", etc., Zhu Di knew that this monk had real skills.

If I want to conquer the world in the future, I cannot do without him.

But Daoyan showed no anger at all. Instead, he laughed out loud, which was rare for him: "Hahahaha! The fact that Your Highness would question this humble monk shows that Your Highness really desires that position. Why does Your Highness need to explain? Hahahahaha!"

Zhu Di pursed his lips, speechless - it would have been unnecessary for him to say that he shouldn't have used common sense to speculate about this evil monk.

Seeing Monk Daoyan laughing out loud.

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and could only smile bitterly and shook his head. At the same time, he took a deep breath with some emotion. Even he himself had never imagined the current situation. This monk was really evil.

After a pause, Monk Daoyan spoke again:

"That man was able to temporarily control the Huaixi nobles, presumably because he had temporarily convinced them that future benefits outweighed immediate patience. Although he did have some tricks up his sleeve, using auspicious signs to build momentum for the new emperor and convince the Huaixi nobles, but..."

"I think Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much."

"You must know that everything has its gains and losses. If that person wants to keep the Huaixi nobles in check in the future, he will have to offer decent benefits to satisfy their greed. Some desires, the longer they are suppressed, the more intense they will become when they erupt."

"Just because we're all at peace now doesn't mean we'll be at peace forever."

"Besides, there's this unruly little emperor in the palace who dares to act recklessly before the late emperor is even buried. This is also a further complication."

"Even though this person is not simple... it's a pity that he chose the wrong path. If some things are wrong from the beginning, they will only be wrong from now on."
