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

Zhu Yunhuan was really curious about the news brought by Chang Sheng.

His second uncle, judging by his family background and past personal connections, was naturally a member of the Huaixi noble group, but because of his relationship with him, he would be treated with extra caution and would not be contacted easily.

Zhu Yunhuan had just finished speaking.

Zhao Feng's face lit up with admiration. He bowed his head and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty, it's about the two merchants I mentioned earlier!"

"Two businessmen..." Zhu Yunhuan had mentioned this before, so he naturally remembered it. After a moment's hesitation, he immediately understood. "The Huaixi nobles are being extra cautious this time. Is it really because of these two people?"

Zhao Feng replied, "Your Majesty, that's right!"

"The Duke of Kaiguo brought word that he had originally followed Your Majesty's plan to preemptively stir up suspicion and unrest among the nobles of Huaixi, causing those nobles to become enraged. The Duke of Ying then unexpectedly added fuel to the fire. As soon as Your Majesty's decree arrived, the nobles gathered at the Duke of Liang's mansion immediately smiled with relief."

"But at that time, Heqing Hou stepped forward to guide the crowd, saying that the imperial edict might not be true, and might be a deception."

When Zhao Feng said this, Zhu Yunhuan sneered, "He's the first one to take the initiative. Even my great-uncle has more patience than him. How much can he possibly think about? How can he possibly think so much?"

Zhao Feng nodded. "When their investigation revealed that neither His Majesty, the Duke of Ying, nor the troops inside or outside Yingtian Prefecture had made any movement, the Duke of Kaiguo personally witnessed the two merchants speaking to Marquis Heqing. Heqing then warned the dukes and marquises of the Duke of Liang's Mansion to remain vigilant."

"That's it, there's really something going on with these two people." Zhu Yunhuan responded calmly, the faint smile on his face had disappeared at some point, replaced by a subtle sharpness and coldness.

Zhao Feng felt a chill on his back.

He lowered his head solemnly and praised: "Your Majesty is indeed as meticulous as a hair and as foresighted as a god!"

He had also investigated before, and found that the identities, origins, and experiences of these two businessmen were flawless. In his opinion, there was no need to pay too much attention to them.

And the Majesty in front of me.

Simply because he felt that the Huaixi dukes "shouldn't be so cautious," he guessed there was something fishy going on and ordered them to keep a closer eye on things...

"I think even without the detailed intelligence provided by the founding duke, these two would have been exposed sooner or later."

"Your Majesty is truly more perceptive than the Imperial Guards!"

Zhao Feng sighed inwardly.

At the same time, he secretly reminded himself, "Nothing in this world can easily fool Your Majesty. In the future, when I work for Your Majesty... I must be even more cautious and careful. Otherwise, I will be of no use to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Feng felt a surge of panic at the thought. He immediately bowed his head and apologized, "This humble servant has failed in his duty and oversight! I am guilty!"

Fortunately, the Majesty in front of him had a cold expression, as if he was thinking about something, a little absent-minded, and ignored him, but remained silent.

Zhao Feng didn't dare to disturb him.

He just stood there with his fists clasped and his body bowed, waiting for Zhu Yunhuan to speak.

Zhu Yunhuan, on his side, had already begun to ponder in his mind:

"They're instigating... encouraging the Huaixi nobles to oppose me. Clearly, they don't want me to take advantage of this opportunity to resolve this major problem and completely seize power from now on..."

"They are just two businessmen, they wouldn't have such thoughts."

"Who would benefit most from hoping that Yingtian Prefecture, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, would be in chaos? Who would most want to see such a situation?"

Zhu Yunhuan pondered and silently sorted out the motives and context.

Immediately, a series of unfamiliar faces appeared in my mind - Prince of Yan Zhu Di, Prince of Chu Zhu Zhen, Prince of Qi Zhu Gui...

Talk about it.

Zhu Yunhuan did not have a deep impression of these uncles.

After all, they all stayed in their own fiefdoms all year round. Even if they occasionally returned to Beijing, Zhu Yunhuan, who was hiding in the Eastern Palace, would not meet them. Even the faces of these uncles were only a rough outline in Zhu Yunhuan's mind, and were not clear.
