Zhang Yi put away the smile on his face.

He frowned and said, "What's wrong? His Majesty has already made his intention known. He didn't even use a verbal order, but a formal imperial decree."

Fan Songde said, "So what if it's a legitimate imperial edict? If they're all thinking about the other dukes, earls, and generals, what good is it even if they use a genuine imperial edict to scare them? I still think... there's something fishy going on!"

Zhou Lixuan immediately chimed in, "That's right, there aren't a lot of deceptions going on in the palace. They're the best at playing tricks!"

Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde are different from other Huaixi nobles here.

Whether it was Lan Yu, Zhang Yi, Cao Xing... or anyone else, their minds were still wavering on the question of "will this cooperation collapse or not?", and they were even hoping that this cooperation would not collapse.

Moreover, they also heard Zhu Yunhuan's solemn oath with their own ears and saw Zhu Yunhuan pointing to the spirit tablet of the late emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and making promises to them.

So after they were pulled back and forth like this.

You will subconsciously tend to believe Zhu Yunhuan.

However, Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde had completely different perspectives. Their own intelligence, coupled with the knowledge of even the monk Daoyan in Peking, who controlled all the secret intelligence, confirmed that the young emperor Zhu Yunhuan and the Huaixi nobles would definitely fall out.

Then they think that a falling out is inevitable.

From this perspective, no matter what the situation was or what happened, they would naturally not believe it. Instead, they would desperately try to grasp and think about what was wrong.

Since a falling out is inevitable, the young emperor and the person behind him must find ways to check and balance the Huaixi nobles.

There is no good way to check and balance the nobles of Huaixi.

Fu Youde is a second-best card, but also the best card they can play.

They will not and should not give up this card.

Absolutely impossible!

Therefore, Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde's only conclusion was: there was a trick in the imperial edict! Although they didn't know what it was, the young emperor would definitely not destroy Fu Youde's card on his own! There must be some mystery that no one had expected!

Therefore, from their perspective, they must advise these Huaixi nobles not to take it lightly.

Because they just want to muddy the waters and be on guard against the military advisor behind the little emperor taking the opportunity to come up with some strange plan.

"Brother Zhang, it's better to be safe than sorry!"

"If this is really a conspiracy between the palace and Duke Ying...it's causing us to be careless and unprepared."

"But they secretly plotted, causing us to lose the initiative... From now on, everything we do will be passive!"

"We must not be careless about this matter!"

"Brother!"

"..."

Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde were both worried about the tricks of the "military advisor" in the palace. They looked anxious and took advantage of the lively atmosphere to try their best to persuade Zhang Yi.

It was as if they were the ones most concerned about this matter.

However, they were quite good at fooling people. After several rounds of explanation, Zhang Yi frowned and looked thoughtful.

He nodded immediately: "It seems...what you said makes sense!"

Seeing Zhang Yi persuaded, Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde exchanged a tacit glance, then glanced at Lan Yu and other Huaixi nobles, reminding Zhang Yi: "Brother, they..."

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's talk!"

Then he squeezed into the crowd, raised his hand to attract everyone's attention, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop it! Stop laughing!"

His shout was a bit unexpected.

Everyone subconsciously quieted down. Someone looked at Zhang Yi in confusion and asked, "Old Zhang, what are you doing?"

Others were even more irritable and angrily asked, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Zhang Yi ignored the voices of others.

He scanned the crowd with a serious look, then brought up what Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde had said: "This is a big deal! Everyone, listen to me first!"

"Today's matter may not be that simple!"

"Everyone knows that the palace loves to play tricks and schemes. Even if it's an imperial edict, can it really be trusted?"

"What if there are some tricks and schemes hidden here..."

"We are all laughing here, but Old Master has taken all the advantages. How can we still laugh then?"

As soon as these words came out.

Many people who had already opened their mouths and were waiting to argue with him the next moment immediately swallowed their words back and their expressions froze.

After all, Zhang Yi's words were very simple and clear, and everyone could understand them.

After thinking about it for a while, I feel that...it is true!

In an instant, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually faded, replaced by seriousness and confusion.

Some people suddenly gasped and sighed, "Is it really not impossible? Then what should we do next?"

After this question was asked, everyone fell into deep thought.

No one had any idea for a moment.

Seeing this, Chang Sheng, who was secretly delighted at the scene, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. He was secretly nervous: "What's going on? Why is Zhang Yi suddenly not following the script? He still doesn't believe it after all this?"

However, Chang Sheng's emotion only lasted for a moment.

Soon, a look of relief appeared on his face. "Oh! If you don't follow the script, then don't follow the script! Why should I worry? Anyway, this imperial decree is true. Uncle Fu was going to leave Yingtian Prefecture anyway!"
