The monk in black glanced at Zhu Di with a meaningful smile, without revealing his intention. It would be great if Zhu Di had some ideas. If he had no ideas at all, then the monk in black would not be willing to enter Prince Yan's Mansion.
However, this matter is indeed no small matter. The monk in black then frowned and thought seriously for a moment, raised his head and smiled at Zhu Di: "The prince will naturally go all out this time and make as many military exploits as possible."
Zhu Di took a deep look at the monk, paused for a few breaths, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Do you understand my real situation?"
From a superficial point of view, Yan Wang Zhu Di is naturally very prosperous. In the past, the Yuan Palace was the royal palace, with Yuan Dadu as its foundation, and had hundreds of thousands of troops, all of whom were elites who could fight Meng Yuan head-on on the battlefield. Looking at the other kings of Lao Zhu, none of them can compare to King Shang Yan.
But where did all this glory and strength come from? On the one hand, it is naturally due to Zhu Di's countless battles on the battlefield, but at the same time, it cannot be denied that it is because he has to face powerful enemies all the time.
Standing opposite him were Nahachu, who had hundreds of thousands of people, and the pseudo-emperor Meng Yuan. If Zhu Di is not given enough troops, how can Ming resist?
"Of course the poor monk understands." The monk in black smiled and bowed slightly, "Naha is just a clown, let alone him. Even if the imperial court kills the false emperor Meng Yuan, the prince will still be needed to guard Peiping. City. Because there are still too many former Yuan forces on the grassland. As long as they continue to exist, the court will rely on the prince. And if the prince can make more decisions during the war against Naha, With his military exploits, the emperor will naturally rely more on the prince."
After listening to the black-clothed monk's explanation, Zhu Di gradually let go of his worries. "This monk is right. As long as there are residual forces on the grassland, the imperial court will rely on him. And can my father really completely eliminate the residual forces?" Zhu Di shook his head secretly at this point.
In terms of strength, Can Yuan is naturally no match for Ming Dynasty. But the grassland is vast and they can't defeat it. Why don't they still know how to run away? Unfortunately, these people are all carrying several horses each. Once they start running, even the wind cannot catch up.
Zhu Di defeated Meng Yuan many times, but was unable to kill them all because he could not catch up.
Thinking that only by performing meritorious deeds can he continue to improve his status in the heart of his father, Zhu Di made an instant decision. Since Naha was bound to die, it would be better to use him as waste and let him contribute to him again.
Once the knot in his heart was gone, Zhu Di naturally laughed heartily, clapped his hands suddenly, and kept rubbing his hands, saying, "In that case, I will use Naha's head to perform meritorious deeds this time."
Zhu Di could not help but tremble with excitement at the thought of gaining more attention from his father and gaining greater power.
The monk in black was not as excited as Zhu Di. Not only did he not agree with Zhu Di, but he poured cold water on him. "Your Majesty, making meritorious service is a matter for the future. Now there is an extremely urgent matter. Your Majesty, please be very careful."
"What's the matter?" Zhu Di frowned and thought for a moment. Beiping has been peaceful recently, and nothing major happened at all. The biggest thing is that the imperial court is about to conquer Naha in the north. But the imperial army has not arrived yet. What will happen to him?
The monk in black tapped his fingers on the note twice and said solemnly: "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty?"
Seeing that Zhu Di still didn't understand, the monk in black had no choice but to point out: "Han Du is here."
Zhu Di immediately pondered after hearing this. He and Han Du had only met a few times, and they were all in the capital. Thinking back to the time when I came to Han Du's house and made a promise, Han Du didn't take it seriously at all.
Soon afterwards, Zhu Di was ordered to leave the capital, and the matter of inviting Han Du to Peiping naturally failed. Then Zhu Di didn't pay too much attention and put the matter behind him.
Now that Han Du was mentioned again by the monk, Zhu Di began to pay attention to it.
"The poor monk has just received the news that the emperor intends to make Han Jingyun the crown prince." After the monk in black finished speaking, he looked at King Yan intently.
"Han Jingyun? Han Du's sister?" Zhu Di was startled when he heard this. At this moment, he seemed to feel that he was missing something, and he quickly reacted and calmed down. Except for the monk in black standing opposite him, even Xu Miaoyun did not notice the change in Zhu Di's expression.
"It is she, Han Jingyun, who is the best in arithmetic in the world, praised as a goddess by the emperor himself, and is known as the pinnacle of wisdom in the Ming Dynasty. She is about to become the crown princess." The black-clothed monk seemed to be doing it on purpose, spreading Han Jingyun's reputation word by word. out.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Zhu Di's tone was calm, but the look he looked at the black-clothed monk showed a bit of hidden anger.
The smile on the black monk's face suddenly faded, and he stopped provoking Zhu Di and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Han Jingyun has become the Crown Princess, and then Han Du is the Crown Prince's man. Han Du is very cunning. Once he is allowed to enter Beiping City, Your Majesty, I’m afraid I can’t hide those arrangements.”
"What do you mean, do you want to prevent Han Du from entering the city and keep him out of the city?" Zhu Di asked tentatively while thinking about the possibilities.
Unexpectedly, the monk in black shook his head and broke Zhu Di's fantasy, "This is impossible. The more the prince prevents Han Du from entering the city, the more suspicious Han Du will be. Once he feels that the prince has hidden something from him in the city, What, he will definitely intervene in the investigation. Even if he does not go to the city, it is not worth arousing his suspicion. "
Zhu Di relaxed his hands as if frustrated, and had to admit that such a trick would not deceive Han Du at all, but would attract Han Du's attention as the monk said. He sighed helplessly and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"The prince not only wants Han Du to enter the city, but also invites him to the city personally." The black-clothed monk gave Zhu Di an idea to do the opposite and continued to explain: "Of course there are some things that should be covered up. Those who need to be evacuated should be evacuated.”
As he spoke, the monk in black stood up and sighed, "Even a poor monk will have to live in a monastery outside the city during this period."
"Monk, you are also a highly intelligent person, so you don't want to meet Han Du?" Zhu Di was a little surprised by the behavior of the monk in black.
You must know that this monk is not a simple man. Back then, when he was unknown, he dared to block the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion alone, even if a steel knife came to him, he would not dodge at all. Otherwise, if Zhu Di had shouted "Stop" in time, the grass on the monk's grave would have been several feet high.
Moreover, since Zhu Di met this monk, he was used to him being fearless in the face of danger. Now he was a little surprised to see him avoid shouting.
