These words may seem like a question, but they are actually a confession.

Xu Miaojin was so stunned by the news that she didn't recover for a long time.

Zhu Yunxi actually did so many things quietly?

How did he do that?

But soon, she figured it out.

Zhu Yunxi's affairs, when put together, would make anyone feel serious.

But if they are separated, it will not make people suspicious.

Officialdom emphasizes "officers protect each other."

When something happens to each other, they will try their best to make it convenient.

For example, prisoners captured on the battlefield must be executed according to law.

But if an official says that my family happens to be short of a few slaves and wants to ask for a few captives to be domestic slaves, then the general who captured the captives will most likely agree.

Although this matter was against the rules, no one would think it was such a big deal.

Not to mention that Zhu Yunxi was Lao Zhu's grandson, King Wu of the Ming Dynasty.

His face is still given to ordinary officials.

Among the rebels, many of them were ordinary people. After being defeated by Zhu Yunxu's army, they fled in all directions.

Government offices and garrisons in various places captured rebels.

Zhu Yunxi asked several officials and generals for prisoners. Together, the number would be very large.

Such behavior will be regarded as a trivial matter by officials and generals.

Being able to make friends with the King of Wu because of this is a blessing.

The same goes for finding calligraphers who can imitate various handwritings.

His Highness King Wu has some hobbies and wants to find a calligrapher to teach him how to write. That is normal.

If the search is made openly, the people who come to apply will be able to break down the door of the palace.

Even if you ask a military general to find it, people who hear it will only think that this military general has a good personal relationship with the King of Wu, so he knows about such a thing.

Generally speaking, I don't think there is anything wrong.

Feng Sheng was also in a high position, and after hearing what Xu Miaojin said, he realized that these things were not as simple as they seemed.

From this point of view, Feng Sheng should not be directly involved.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t tell them all the news I heard, just like pouring beans.

He may have been vaguely aware of some movement, but he still made people refuse to spread rumors or believe them, mostly because he didn't want to be in such muddy waters.

Turn a blind eye and act like you don't know anything.

Anyway, for a military commander like him who made great contributions to the founding of the country, normally, no matter who becomes the emperor, he will not be treated badly.

He became Minister of Military Affairs and was granted the title of Crown Prince and Grand Master, but in fact, he was also relieved of his military power.

The influence on the garrison in Gyeonggi comes more from his personal prestige than from his position.

After all, he is a general who has led troops in wars for many years. His old troops are spread all over the army, so it is normal for him to have some influence.

What Xu Miaojin said just now forced him to take sides and tell the truth.

Xu Miaojin took a deep breath to digest the sudden news.

"Tonight or tomorrow, if something unexpected happens, please ask Uncle Feng to leave the house and go to the Military Affairs Office to take charge."

"It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk, this is also a matter of duty." Feng Sheng cupped his hands and said: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the loyal ministers."

"I am the crown prince and grand master, and it is my duty to assist my grandson. I know more about your grandson's capabilities."

"When it comes to governing the country, his articles are embroidered, his troops are deployed in battle, and his strategic planning is unparalleled in today's world."

"If anyone has evil intentions, is unfaithful and unjust, and attempts to challenge the majesty of the great grandson, in my opinion, he is throwing an egg against a rock, or a worm against a tree, and does not overestimate his own capabilities."

"At this moment, my niece, just rest assured. Uncle, I will definitely support my great-grandson. This heart can be expressed by the sun and the moon."

At this time, Zhu Yunzhen's various efforts in daily life began to show results.

Whether it is Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, or most of the ministers in the court, they all at least recognized that Zhu Yunzhen was very capable, resourceful, and able to make good decisions.

If there is a serious fight, his chances of winning are undoubtedly very high.

It is precisely because these people have such a judgment that they will not hesitate to choose to stand with Zhu Yunxu.

To put it bluntly, their attitude is actually that they will help whoever wins!

Everyone believed that His Highness Taisun would win, so of course they had to express their stance immediately.

Although Xu Miaojin was young, he was very smart. He knew this very well and said with a smile: "Of course I can trust Uncle Feng."

Immediately, the two of them left the house together.

Feng Sheng went to the Military Affairs Office of Wenhua Palace, while Xu Miaojin rode his horse and looked straight outside the city.

When he arrived near the city gate and was about to give the order to open the city gate, a man rushed out from the side and stopped him.

Wearing a black monk's robe, it was Yao Guangxiao.

"I just learned from Song Guogong Feng Sheng..."

Xu Miaojin quickly informed Yao Guangxiao of the news.

"This matter is not trivial. I want to go to Yangshan now to report this matter."

Unexpectedly, Yao Guangxiao shook his head.

"If King Heng and King Wu have already taken action, if you go now, you will only fall into a trap. Not only will it not help the matter, but it will put His Highness Taisun into a more disadvantageous situation."

Xu Miaojin frowned and said: "The New Army has two thousand-man troops outside. I can send one to go there. If anything happens, I can handle it."

"Even if they take action, they can't mobilize many soldiers and horses. The new army's combat power is far beyond the reach of ordinary armies. A thousand soldiers and horses are enough to suppress it."

"No." Yao Guangxiao said: "His Royal Highness Taisun has made arrangements and it is useful for him. Don't interrupt at will."

"Besides, His Majesty is still in Yangshan. If King Heng and King Wu have no wrongdoing, it would be hard for you to rashly send troops to His Majesty's palace."

When Xu Miaojin heard this, her eyebrows knitted deeper.

The so-called care is chaos.

She just heard the news suddenly, and her heart was in a mess, and she just wanted to go to Yangshan.

At this time, after listening to Yao Guangxiao's analysis, I realized that I couldn't mess up my position.

"What should we do?" she asked.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Calm down. What you said is not a big surprise."

"Although we can't figure out what each of their cards will be and how to play them, Taisun has already made complete preparations."

"No matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to escape His Highness the Grand Sun's plan."

"You have to believe in His Highness Taisun's ability. Nothing will happen to you, and there is no need to mess up your position."

He spoke very calmly, unhurriedly and calmly.

He has the demeanor of an eminent monk whose face remains unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai.

Xu Miaojin breathed a sigh of relief, looked into the distance, and said: "Yes, that boy is so powerful, ten thousand times better than me. I can think of it, how can he not think of it? I am worrying too much."

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "That's right. What we have to do is to stabilize the situation in the capital and prevent it from causing trouble."

"The grandson will make his own decision regarding Yangshan."

He paused and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs? If His Highness Taisun wants to completely eliminate the hidden danger, he can only let them all jump out on their own. This is exactly what His Highness Taisun is doing now."

Xu Miaojin's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

Playing tricks to show weakness and pretending not to know, and waiting for the enemy to take the bait, is indeed very similar to that kid's approach.

I'm afraid that even if he knew about Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi's affairs, he would pretend not to know and wait for the other party to attack.

Skilled hunters often appear in the form of prey.

It's just that when hunting, there is always danger.

The transition between hunter and prey is often instantaneous.

The information they currently have is too little to make an overall judgment, so she can't help but worry about it.

"Most of these people have two ends. If they sense that the wind is going in the wrong direction, they will add insult to injury."

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "Because of this, we can't panic."

"If you go out of the city now, people will definitely think that something big has happened. If it exceeds Taisun's expectation, they will become more suspicious and shaken the will of more people."

"As long as we sit firmly in the city and don't move, who dares to act rashly?"

"There are always winners and losers. Those people, they only support winners."

"With Taisun's accumulated prestige, as long as we don't mess up our position, I believe that no one in the court will dare to mess up!"

"Stabilizing the rear is giving Taisun the greatest help."

"Amitabha!" He clasped his hands together, extremely calm.
