Chapter 555
An excellent chess player.
He will only resign himself to defeat when he is at his wit's end. Otherwise, he will seriously look for a chance to strike back on the chessboard.
There is a big difference in the way men and women think. Xu Miaoyun may think about the problem from a more stable perspective.
But for Zhu Di, a true man born between heaven and earth, how could he remain depressed and inferior to others for long? He had already come to this point, and no one had yet to give him the upper hand, yet he simply backed out. Was this the behavior of a true man?
In this chess game with the world as the chessboard.
Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan were essentially on the same track.
So the two of them exchanged a burning look and immediately confirmed what they were thinking.
at the same time.
The "Huaixi nobles" who had been put aside by them were also pulled out.
Come to think of it...it's been such a long time.
No matter what means the other party uses, these inevitable uncontrollable factors are about to explode?
If not, it would be great if you could try hard to find a way to push it forward.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness, have you heard any news in the past few days?" Monk Daoyan looked at Zhu Di and asked. He did not forget that not long ago, the Hongwu Emperor lost his composure and burst into tears in his private residence.
Besides…whose kingdom is this being usurped by others? It was the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang single-handedly conquered!
Zhu Di shook his head helplessly and said, "For several days, the emperor has not summoned me. Even when I visited him several times at his private residence, he refused to see me, claiming he was seriously ill."
After a pause, Zhu Di added: "However, the number of spies entering and leaving the private residence is still as frequent as before, which shows that my father is still extremely concerned about the news outside." At least this shows that his father should not have given up yet.
Monk Daoyan nodded and said, "Your Majesty will certainly not sit idly by. However, Your Majesty was forced to fake his own death to escape, so it's understandable that he was unable to do so. Furthermore, having lost three sons in a row, he must be feeling very bad. If there's an opportunity later, Your Highness, the Prince of Yan, will take the opportunity to investigate."
"The more important point is... how to bridge the rift between the Huaixi nobles and the young emperor..." Having said this, Monk Daoyan fell into deep thought.
At present, he has not thought of an effective way to do this.
After all, he explored it several times in a row.
As a result, there were always some unexpected problems, which resulted in no progress in his news in this regard.
But even so, he was certain that there must be a crack here. Besides, so many things had happened in Yingtian Prefecture during this period of time. Just because something couldn't be found before didn't mean it couldn't be found now. If he refocused on this point, he might find something new.
Zhu Di also understood and agreed with this point.
He nodded and lowered his head to concentrate on thinking.
On the other hand, Xu Miaoyun, who was standing next to him, moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. However, seeing the firm and serious expressions of Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan, she finally did not say anything. However, the worry and uneasiness in her beautiful eyes never left.
……
at the same time.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting leisurely in another private room.
He smiled and took a sip of tea. "Excellent! Every step is planned perfectly, and every move is so unexpected and clever. Our eldest grandson really can always surprise us. This cheap cloth has been sold for so long, and yet he still has something to offer!"
Zhu Yuanzhang held up the teacup in his hand and glanced casually through the window at another private room with closed doors and windows. Although he could not see what was going on inside, his mind was as clear as a mirror.
He also understood that ambition was not so easy to eliminate.
"Old Four and that troublemaker monk are here today too. I bet they're both dumbfounded. That's even better. This ambition needs to be sharpened. Any sharp and useful sword is only made effective after being honed thousands of times."
"But that little wolf cub's methods and speed are too fast."
"Close the window. We don't need Mr. Reading to break down the newspaper for us. We can read it by ourselves inside. Don't let our fourth son catch us."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and gave instructions to Lu Wei.
After saying this, he lay back in the chair quite comfortably, crossed his legs, held the newspaper far away, and read it carefully.
Lu Wei immediately stood up and closed the window with a creaky sound.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still reading the newspaper, took a deep breath and began to worry again. "What the little wolf is doing can indeed prevent those who are living well, or even affluent, from trying to take advantage of them. However, in the current situation, anthracite is scarce and valuable enough to be sold at a high price. I just don't know if those people under him are reliable."
"Greed... this word is too big."
Although his voice was not very loud, one could still clearly feel the strong murderous intent in his tone.
For someone who had lived through the tyranny of the previous dynasty, the thing he hated most after becoming emperor was "greed". With so many years of experience as an emperor, he was naturally most worried about this at this time.
"Besides that... this kid's methods are gradually becoming apparent, and the Huaixi nobles may not be easy to deal with." Although he was still very satisfied and relieved with Zhu Yunhuan, as a grandfather, he couldn't help but worry.
