Chapter 1418
Chun Chun simply said she didn't know.
Even if he and the monk Daoyan were incredibly intelligent, they couldn't figure out what was going on.
In his eagerness, Zhu Di couldn't help but say, "How could we not know about something so important? We should be able to find some clues, and that will help us to deduce the truth."
Zhu Yuanzhang, however, said dismissively, "Anyway, that's what the intelligence reports say. It says that many court officials wanted to go to the palace to fight alongside our Grandson and risk their lives, but they found that they had come up empty-handed. Our Grandson had run away, and they were all extremely anxious. Then they heard that our Grandson had returned to the palace."
As he spoke, his expression clearly showed that he was relaxed and happy.
Anyway, no matter what happens.
To have escaped unscathed after surviving such a close call shows just how capable his eldest grandson is!
We couldn't get any information from them.
Zhu Di and the monk Daoyan felt as if cat claws were scratching at their hearts, and they felt an indescribable discomfort all over their bodies, but they could only accept this fact.
"It seems... perhaps it's that cowardly fellow hiding behind Zhu Yunwen again, coming up with some delaying tactic for him!"
Zhu Di muttered to himself, his heart filled with anxiety and rage: "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all! How could they have found a way out?! What should I do? What should I do next?!"
Even the most composed monk, Daoyan, had a face so somber it could drip water.
He couldn't help but feel annoyed and ashamed: "Who exactly is the person behind the young emperor? What strategy did they use to appease the nobles of Huaixi?"
Compared to Zhu Di's anxiety and the setbacks in his great undertaking.
What troubled Daoyan even more was that he had once again been defeated by the "person behind the scenes" whom he had always regarded as his rival, but who he could never touch or see.
Think carefully about the situation the young emperor faced at that time.
If it were a different position.
He couldn't think of any way to hold off those lunatics! Especially Lan Yu, who, when he got carried away, even forcibly violated the former Yuan emperor's concubine... let alone the young emperor who was so provocative to him...
However, he had already been with Zhu Di in Beiping for eleven years, so of course he wouldn't be willing to surrender so quickly.
After a moment of contemplation, the monk Daoyan seemed to have thought of something and asked Zhu Yuanzhang in a deep voice, "May I ask Your Majesty... when His Majesty Kaiqian returned to the palace from Yingtian Prefecture, besides his personal guards and entourage such as the Dragon Guard and Tiger Guard, did he also bring prisoners of war with him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood at the time and didn't bother arguing with this stubborn bald monk, so he casually replied, "No! He only brought his own scepter, nothing else..."
Having said that.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to suddenly realize something and abruptly stopped.
As soon as he realized this, Zhu Di also realized it at the same time. His expression brightened, and he said, "So... in fact, the nobles of Huaixi are still a great threat to him! Now that this matter has begun, they will definitely not let it go!"
He instantly understood why the monk Daoyan had suddenly asked his father such a question.
The threat still exists.
If troops are to be deployed, won't they still have to be deployed?
The person behind Zhu Yunwen can ease his mind once, twice... but can they really ease it for him every time?
Realizing that the stance and reasons for sending troops still existed, Zhu Di was secretly delighted and eagerly clasped his hands in admonition to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, I believe that although Your Majesty's crisis has been temporarily averted, things have already developed to this point. If Your Majesty does not step in and we, the vassal kings, do not unite to send troops... Yingtian Prefecture will still descend into chaos."
"Therefore, I believe... we should send troops now!"
"It's just in time that Yingtian Prefecture hasn't fallen into chaos yet, and while His Majesty's strategist has used some unknown plan to temporarily avert the crisis, Father can, to the greatest extent possible, prevent the Huaixi nobles from encroaching upon and damaging our Great Ming Dynasty."
