Chapter 1396
Lu Wei pursed his lips nervously, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively spoke to reassure him: "His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture has always been a strategist and a master of planning. He has managed to keep the Duke of Liang and his group in line several times before... Perhaps His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture will have a way this time as well? Your Majesty, you know that your grandson is very capable!"
That statement seems to have some effect.
Zhu Yuanzhang's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly...
Although he knew Lu Wei was just trying to comfort him, he couldn't say that was wrong—his grandson was indeed very capable!
But the next moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang kept his eyes fixed on the courtyard gate, anxiously waiting: "Hiss... still no news?"
I believe in Zhu Yuntong's potential.
But in this current state of complete ignorance, how could Zhu Yuanzhang possibly be optimistic? He couldn't put his mind at ease until he truly knew the specific situation in Yingtian Prefecture.
Lu Wei, who had been asked this question a thousand times, was also quite helpless.
He sighed inwardly and said respectfully, "It seems we should wait a little longer."
However, whether it was the effect of Zhu Yuanzhang's repeated calls or not, a dark figure actually barged into the courtyard gate, much to Lu Wei's dismay! Lu Wei's expression hardened, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, taking three steps at a time to reach the courtyard gate: "Is this news from Yingtian Prefecture?"
The man immediately replied, "Sir, it was indeed sent by Commander Jiang."
Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious, and so was Lu Wei.
So Lu Wei couldn't wait any longer and snatched the intelligence from the other party's hands. Without saying a word, he closed the courtyard gate and ran to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty... has arrived..."
As he spoke, he looked at the intelligence report he was holding in his hands, his expression filled with tension. He felt like he was holding his breath, his lungs were about to burst, and he was too nervous to utter a sound...
At the same time, he was also slightly surprised: "The intelligence that Commander Jiang sent this time is much more superficial than the intelligence he has sent before..."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait a moment longer.
Without any hesitation, he grabbed the intelligence report and tore it open, his hands trembling slightly as he did so—there were only two possible outcomes: either his grandson had once again cleverly dealt with the bald monk's incitement, or…
In short, it's either life or death.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the thin letter in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then unfolded it with a rustling sound. There, he saw several striking vermilion characters written on it: 【Your Majesty is in danger! Yingtian Prefecture is in danger! The Ming Dynasty is in danger! Your Majesty, please return immediately!】
The characters written with the vermilion ink pen even appeared quite messy, which showed that... Jiang Huan was probably extremely flustered at the time.
"hiss……"
Upon seeing these striking words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately gasped, his pupils contracted sharply, and his heart leaped into his throat—what the hell had happened? Why was Jiang Huan so anxious?
"Your Majesty, what is this...?" Lu Wei had not seen the contents of the intelligence report, but judging from his master's current state... something terrible must have happened.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath.
Ignoring Lu Wei beside her, she forced herself to remain calm and gritted her teeth as she continued reading.
And this look.
His already imposing expression gradually darkened, growing increasingly somber... darker and darker... so dark it was almost dripping with water.
For no other reason than...
The main problem is—the sky has fallen!!!
This intelligence report may be short, but the fewer the words, the bigger the matter...
"It's all over, it's all over, it's all over... Yingtian Prefecture must be in complete chaos by now! It's all over! It's all over!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's hand holding the letter fell limply in despair, muttering to himself... his face radiating utter despair: "This kid... has he gone mad?! You haven't even won over the hearts of the people yet, why did you have to provoke them like this?"
Sighing, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh in anguish.
For nothing else.
he saw...
I saw Zhu Yunwen inexplicably having Zhuo Jing and Yuan Tai bring up the sordid and disgraceful affairs of "abuse of privileges" among nobles, gentry, and scholars during the morning court session...
That's not all... After the morning court session and the issuance of the imperial edict, the Imperial Guards were specifically ordered to go to the gate of Lan Yu's residence to arrest people, including three marquises—Zhang Yi, Zhu Shou, and Cao Xing—who were all quite senior and prestigious!
One incident after another... it was as if they were afraid those arrogant and fierce soldiers wouldn't rebel!
