Crown Prince's Counterattack

"This king also just wants to live in the fief in peace and stability, without being under the control of the imperial power. There are too many storms in this capital, and this place is no longer suitable for my age. If I help you, you may not be helping yourself."

"I didn't expect Uncle Fourth Wang to have such great ambitions that he wanted to make your fief a kingdom within a kingdom."

Zhu Yunxi took a deep look at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di looked back at him with a smile, with determination in his eyes.

"When you have this world, what does that small place mean? I think you have already made a decision in your heart, right?"

"...Okay, just as Uncle Wang said"

Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath, and quickly regained his composure after the intense struggle in his eyes. Indeed, compared with the whole world, that mere fiefdom is nothing, but this does not mean that Zhu Yunxi completely believed in Zhu Di.

"The king really didn't misread you, okay, okay..."

Zhu Di looked overjoyed, the expression of joy on his face was beyond words, and his tone seemed to be very excited.

Zhu Yunxi also showed a satisfied smile, and the cooperation was a tacit understanding between the two.

"Since you and I have made an agreement, it's getting late today, and it's inconvenient for me to stay in the palace for a long time. You might as well come to Sishu's mansion some other day, and we need to discuss things in detail after that."

There were people coming and going in the palace, although it was located in a remote place, but if they were not in order, they met someone they shouldn't have met. Now that today's goal has been achieved, Zhu Di cautiously prepared to leave, and invited Zhu Yunxi along the way.

"Fourth Uncle, wait a minute—"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly called out to stop Zhu Di who was about to leave, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, obviously he hesitated when he had something on his mind.

"..."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yunxi with a puzzled expression. Since he stopped him, why didn't he speak?

"Uncle Si Wang, since you and I want to cooperate, I have to tell you some news."

"what news?"

With a thought in his mind, Zhu Di thought about what would make Zhu Yunxi hesitate. This news seemed a little unusual, and it made him a little more curious.

"...A few days ago, I was about to pay my respects to my father, but I heard something at the door."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Di and continued.

"Father seems to be...begging the imperial grandfather to cut down the feudal clan"

"Then Father...?!"

Zhu Di's face changed, and he grabbed Zhu Yunxi's arm eagerly, his tone was very excited, although Zhu Yunxi felt a little pain in his arm, he still endured it.

"Yes, the royal grandfather agreed"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Di regrettably, and sighed vaguely.

"You said—the royal father agreed!!!"

Zhu Di's face was stiff. At this time, he could no longer maintain the smile on his face. He knew that the crown prince had been agitating his father to cut down the vassal, but his father had not agreed to it for so many years. He was still grateful, why, why did he suddenly change now? Notice.

Zhu Di turned around in his mind and instantly understood why Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind. He glanced at Zhu Yunxi without a trace, with a bit of murderous intent in his eyes. He wanted to kill him just because of these yellow-mouthed children. It can convince them... Zhu Yunxi felt a chill down his back for no reason, and felt that this was just an illusion.

"Uncle Si Wang will help me once. Of course, I don't want Uncle Si Wang to be kept in the dark. After this incident, I hope Uncle Si Wang will make plans sooner."

Zhu Di's face softened a little, and he understood that the reason why Zhu Yunxi was willing to tell him these things was in the final analysis because of his strength, which made Zhu Di feel at ease about this transaction.

"This affection, fourth uncle will never forget"

Zhu Di looked grateful, if he hadn't learned about this from Zhu Yunxie, everything would be a foregone conclusion, and it would be difficult for him to change.

Zhu Di proposed to leave, but Zhu Yunxi did not stay any longer. Now that Zhu Di already knew about this matter, it must be another unusual period of time. The matter of cutting down the vassals is of great importance. It seems that the Yan Palace has no time to receive visitors recently. However, he was very curious about what his fourth uncle would do next.

"Bring it?"

Sima Yi stretched out his hand to take the memorial that Eunuch Meng sent over, opened it and glanced at it.

"Hey—it's really sincere, but since they're all here, why bother to go back?"

Sima Yi chuckled, with a bit of mockery in his eyes, and now he left in a hurry, but unfortunately he couldn't let him go easily.

"Keep these papers in the middle"

Sima Yi told Meng Gong to be fair.

"In addition, send someone to monitor Yan Wang's mansion day and night, and notify immediately if there is any movement."

Sima Yi didn't think that Zhu Di would sit and wait in the mansion, so now he couldn't relax all the time.

#****************

"Is there any news from the palace?"

Dao Yan shook his head, compared to Zhu Di who kept pacing, he looked very calm and indifferent, even when he heard the news of cutting the domain, it only changed his face slightly.

Daoyan did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would make the decision to cut down the vassal. You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang divided the princes back then, and killed the old officials wantonly in these years, just to consolidate the rule of the dynasty and let the whole world be in the hands of the Zhu family. Now that they would make such a decision, seeing the methods of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they really should not be underestimated, but now they have fallen into a passive state, and the question now is how they can get out of this situation.

"Otherwise, I will personally go to see my father tomorrow."

Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan, as if asking for his opinion.

"No, this is inappropriate. I guess those memorials sent to the palace may have been tampered with by the crown prince long ago, otherwise it would be impossible to keep silent. If you go to see His Majesty at this time, don't say whether His Majesty will allow you to leave , on the contrary, it is easy to expose yourself, and then you really want to leave and you will not be able to leave."

Dao Yan had an undeniable expression on his face, the more he had to act cautiously at this time.

"Then what should we do, there are spies watching outside the door now, do we want to sit here and wait for death?"

Zhu Di's face is gloomy. He has been planning and managing in Beiping for many years, and he has spent countless efforts. Now that the emperor said he wanted to cut down the clan, he would cut down the clan. His years of hard work will be turned into water in an instant, and all his revenge will not be realized. So now he must not stay here anymore, otherwise there will be no chance if the imperial decree is issued.

"of course not--"

Dao Yan shook his head resolutely. This is not only Zhu Di's hard work, but also his. Back then, he followed Zhu Di to find a rare commodity to live in. Zhu Di has never let him down all the time. It just seems that his luck is not good now, but , he never believed in fate.

"Let's leave tonight while it's dark!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Di is also a decisive person, he quickly agreed without much hesitation.

"Wait for the king to order his servants to inform the princess to pack her luggage."

Zhu Di was in a hurry and was ready to do it. It was getting late, so he had to get ready quickly.

"Wait, there is no need to inform the princess, the prince can only leave alone tonight"

Dao Yan suddenly yelled to stop Zhu Di who was just about to go out, and after understanding the meaning of Dao Yan's words, Zhu Di's face suddenly became ugly.

Mrs. Xu is his first wife. She has been considerate and cautious in dealing with people and affairs for many years, and has a gentle and virtuous temperament. Running for his life was unacceptable to him, and it was only because of the respect he had for Dao Yan in his heart that he suppressed his anger.

"No, the king will not agree"

The atmosphere condensed for a while, and both of them felt like they didn't want to speak.

Dao Yan's frowning brows suddenly loosened, and he began to display his brilliant tongue.

"The poor monk can understand the prince's mood. The love between husband and wife is deep, and it is normal for His Highness to feel unbearable. It's just that this is a troubled time, and the matter has reached a critical time. Besides, there will be no peace along the way. It's not a good thing either. It's better to stay here in the capital. Firstly, it can be a cover-up to cover up the whereabouts of the prince. Coming here is also a disguised protection. As long as you are alive, the princess and the princes will be fine."

Zhu Di hesitated even with his firm intentions. Dao Yan was right, bad things would definitely happen along the way, and Zhu Di didn't even dare to imagine what happened to the Xu family because of this.Just one worry...

"If this king leaves, let their orphans and widows stay in the capital, in case they become hostages in the hands of the prince..."

Zhu Di had to worry about the situation of Xu's mother and son after he left.

"Your Majesty is still here, and the Crown Prince will definitely not act rashly. It will not be too late to try to rescue the princess. It is also a helpless move to keep the princess in the capital."

Dao Yan showed a trace of compassion, and Zhu Di couldn't help feeling it.

Sometimes the most dangerous place is actually the safest place. As long as people are still there, there is hope. If he can lead the army to occupy Nanjing City one day, then take them out and make up for it. If not, maybe they can borrow This opportunity saves life.

After much consideration, Zhu Di still decided to follow Dao Yan's suggestion, and decided to leave alone, leaving Xu's mother and son here.

Seeing that Zhu Di still listened to his suggestion, Daoyan was very satisfied in his heart. He didn't care about Xu's life or death, as long as Zhu Di was still alive, so that all the efforts he had made in these years would be meaningful.

"Since it has been decided, let's leave at three o'clock tonight"

As soon as Dao Yan finished speaking, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and seeing the person standing at the door, Zhu Di's expression changed drastically.
