Chapter 1408
So he simply nodded slightly to Zhu Di in affirmation.
Unfortunately……
His brainwashing-like verbal bombardment was interrupted by Lu Wei, which immediately reduced its effectiveness by several times. This also calmed Zhu Yuanzhang down. He took off his bamboo hat and ordered seriously, "Fourth brother, suspend the troop deployment and wait for news from Yingtian Prefecture!"
Lu Wei immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty is wise!!"
Zhu Di's face paled, and his heart sank to the bottom: "It's over. Father Emperor has already figured it out. It's basically impossible to get him to act rashly through words now!"
"That damned Lu Wei!!!" Zhu Di maintained a calm appearance on the surface, but in reality he was gritting his teeth and cursing Lu Wei a thousand times in his heart, and even his ancestors for nineteen generations.
"Father..." Although Zhu Di knew things were going badly, he was still unwilling to give up.
However, since Zhu Yuanzhang had made his decision, his inclination was naturally biased. Before Zhu Di could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and he said, "Fourth Prince! Didn't you understand what I just said? I want you to give the order for the army to stop and wait!"
Zhu Di could, of course, see that his father was displeased.
All he could do was purse his lips awkwardly.
But to ask him to immediately halt the army and wait for the news... he was extremely unwilling, caught in a dilemma.
ponder for a moment.
He even wanted to continue saying something, despite Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.
However, Monk Daoyan stopped him: "Your Highness, since His Majesty has already spoken and made a decision... why don't we wait for the intelligence from Yingtian Prefecture? Once we confirm that the situation in Yingtian Prefecture is critical, then we can send troops... it's just a matter of the soldiers working harder."
After speaking, the monk Daoyan gave Zhu Di a subtle look, indicating that it was no longer appropriate for him to continue.
Otherwise, it might displease Zhu Yuanzhang, which would be even worse.
His words were also a reminder to Zhu Di: given the current situation in Yingtian Prefecture, who can say that the nobles of Huaixi won't cause trouble? And who can quell their rebellion? Even if the situation there isn't a complete defeat, we can still find a way to send troops.
The probability of even one in ten million is extremely small, practically negligible.
The two had been together for many years.
Of course, they were very in sync. Zhu Di also understood what the monk Daoyan meant. He immediately clasped his hands in a salute to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Yes! Father, just now... I was also very anxious and worried when I suddenly heard the bad news. I was worried about the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty that you, Father, conquered in one step."
"Since Father has decided to wait, then I will naturally comply."
He said a bunch of things against his will to Zhu Yuanzhang, pretending to be compliant and quelling the anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
For now, he can only take it one step at a time and see how things go.
Then, with a hint of reluctance, he said to the monk Daoyan, "Then Master Daoyan, please ride quickly to the front of the army and issue the order for rest."
The monk Daoyan raised one palm and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha, this humble monk excuses himself."
Having said that, he spurred his warhorse and galloped straight ahead.
Not long after.
The marching troops, which were already heading south, indeed stopped and rested on the spot while maintaining their original formation.
Zhu Di sighed somewhat reluctantly and could only wait anxiously.
Time slowly passed...
About an hour passed, and Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang, the monk Daoyan, and others felt as if a century had passed.
Lu Wei, who had gone to receive intelligence, finally returned once again.
They saw Lu Wei rushing towards them.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and the monk Daoyan all changed their expressions and stood up abruptly, staring at Lu Wei's approaching figure.
Lu Wei dismounted.
He practically scrambled to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and presented him with the long-awaited intelligence report.
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions, including curiosity, anticipation, worry, and unease.
At this point, he naturally couldn't calm down and hastily snatched it away, opening it.
Zhu Di, the monk Daoyan, and even Lu Wei, who was still struggling to breathe, all stared intently at Zhu Yuanzhang and the few thin sheets of Xuan paper in his hand, their faces filled with tension.
