So even though he felt resentful and indignant.
He suppressed his emotions and murmured thoughtfully, "In this way, once the court continues to cultivate seedlings and promote planting... not only can it win the hearts of the people, but it can also gradually win over the hearts of the army."
At this point, the monk Daoyan pondered for a moment.
Then he raised an eyebrow and changed the subject: "But... excessive joy can easily turn to sorrow, the moon wanes after it's full, and water overflows when it's full..."
"This would indeed be a huge benefit, and it would win over the hearts of the people and even the army... It's a pity that the young emperor is so outspoken and eager for quick success that he revealed this matter too early..."
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang had been worried about since he heard the news: How quick-witted was the monk Daoyan? After a moment's thought, he immediately started plotting.
At this point, a slight smile appeared on the lips of the monk Daoyan.
He stood up, slightly excited, and casually tossed the last chess piece on the board. He also put the hard-won intelligence into his sleeve and then left the side courtyard where he was.
After asking about Zhu Di's whereabouts along the way, they headed directly towards the Prince's study.
……
The study of the Prince of Yan's residence.
Zhu Di was standing behind the desk, his wolf-hair brush moving up and down on the Xuan paper in front of him.
However, he was practicing calligraphy.
His handsome, sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and a lingering sense of melancholy filled his eyes. The words he wrote on the paper were messy and illegible, almost devoid of any discernible pattern.
The content His Majesty wrote had already deviated from the previous text: 【Zhu Yuntong… Strategist… Strategist… Strategist… Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? ……】
Perhaps even Zhu Di himself didn't notice.
He appeared to be practicing calligraphy, but his thoughts had actually wandered off somewhere else entirely.
Just as His Majesty's handwriting was becoming increasingly messy, a familiar voice outside the door interrupted his thoughts: "Your Highness, may this humble monk enter?"
Zhu Di gasped.
Only then did I suddenly realize that I was writing all this nonsense.
At that moment, he gritted his teeth, threw the pen aside in a huff, and crumpled the paper into a ball.
Then he took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and tried his best to make himself look less disheveled and ferocious: "Master Daoyan, please come in."
The monk Daoyan immediately pushed open the door and entered. He first closed the doors and windows tightly before lowering his voice and saying, "Your Highness, finally some news has reached this humble monk..."
Zhu Di's eyes lit up slightly: "What news is this? Do you know why Father has suddenly become so wary of us? Lately, I feel like my eyes have been blindfolded." He complained bitterly—the intelligence from Yingtian Prefecture, which he cared about most, was not coming in, so Zhu Di was completely in the dark.
The monk Daoyan smiled slightly, took out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve, stepped forward and placed it on the desk in front of Zhu Di: "Your Highness, please take a look."
Zhu Di's face showed a hint of suspicion.
But seeing the meaningful smile on Monk Daoyan's face, he immediately calmed down and picked up Monk Daoyan's note with some anticipation, and began to read it carefully.
But her mood soon soured again: "First, he helped the people get through the winter, then there were auspicious omens to alleviate the famine... Now he says that these auspicious omens will also allow people to eat meat. In this way, wouldn't Zhu Yunwen win the hearts of the people even more?"
“If this continues, I fear I will have no place to stand in the hearts of the people.”
"What's so exciting about Master Daoyan?"
Zhu Di said with a displeased expression.
Fortunately, having too many lice makes one less itchy. Zhu Yunwen had already done a lot to win over the people, which had greatly increased Zhu Di's ability to accept "bad news".
