Chapter 1394
Chen Zhou nodded, his gaze firm, and said, "That's exactly right! If it weren't for Lord Zhan's support back then, I don't know where I would be today!"
The remaining people in the public housing exchanged glances, confirming each other's resolve.
But then he immediately ran into a dilemma: "But... although neither of us wants to abandon Lord Zhan, what should we do in this situation?" After saying that, he spread his hands with a helpless expression.
But the response to his words was silence again—what to do? Faced with an emperor who could wipe out the nobles of Huaixi and their many battle-hardened generals and elite troops, and who was also the most stubborn person in the world who wouldn't listen to reason... neither gentle persuasion nor force would work... even a god wouldn't know what to do.
After a long, long silence.
Chen Zhou let out a long, helpless sigh: "Alas... this matter... is indeed beyond solution! His Majesty Kaiqian is calculating every move, and I am helpless at this moment. I can only take it one step at a time..."
Of course, they all wanted to save Zhan Hui.
Faced with an unsolvable problem, anyone would be at a loss. Even though Chen Zhou was extremely anxious, this was all he could say for now.
The group shook their heads, exchanging glances filled with helplessness and bitterness.
……
Public housing of the Zhenfusi Yamen.
"So... His Majesty not only withdrew unscathed from the Alchemy Bureau, but also ensured that none of the nobles of Huaixi or their rebel generals escaped?"
"Even their entire family was dealt with by Song Zhong personally, and secretly escorted away to an unknown location?"
Jiang Huan had been keeping a close eye on news inside and outside Yingtian Prefecture, paying particular attention to the palace, Emperor Zhu Yunwen, and the Alchemy Bureau. He quickly gathered and investigated information that left him speechless.
His brows furrowed, his face filled with disbelief, as he sternly questioned the man before him, "Are you sure you and your men haven't made a mistake in gathering this information? His Majesty... when did he acquire such power?!"
The messenger immediately said with certainty, "Boss, there's absolutely no mistake about this! After all, there are still quite a few old acquaintances in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. It shouldn't be a problem to get some information out of them based on our past friendships."
Because Zhu Yunwen wanted others to be unaware of his move to restrain the rebels and traitors, Song Zhong handled the matter of the rebels' entire families quietly, without making it public.
However, Song Zhong is the current commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, while Jiang Huan was the former commander, so he was equally well-informed about this information.
“We, the people below, witnessed their entire family being punished.”
"Where these people were taken... we subordinates have no idea. After all, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was already very disciplined, and after the current emperor's reorganization, it's even harder to find out anything."
Jiang Huan pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, "The whole family has suffered disaster, yet not a single person has appeared to stop it. It is clear that the rebels are indeed all in dire straits."
With so much information to corroborate it, no matter how outrageous it sounded, Jiang Huan had no choice but to believe it. He immediately beamed with joy and said, "Good! Good! His Majesty is indeed wise and valiant! Even Lan Yu and his gang couldn't do anything to him. They all fell into his hands! Good!"
"I didn't misjudge him! I really didn't misjudge him! This is the emperor who will make the Ming Dynasty prosperous for thousands of years!"
For Jiang Huan...
Although he had been keeping a low profile within the Embroidered Uniform Guard, his job was to deliver intelligence, especially regarding Zhu Yunwen, from inside and outside Yingtian Prefecture to Beiping.
But he shared the same thoughts as his true master, Emperor Hongwu (Zhu Yuanzhang).
At this moment, news suddenly arrived that Zhu Yunwen, the new master, was incredibly powerful and had resolved all the troubles on his own. Jiang Huan was naturally relieved and genuinely happy.
Just the next moment.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, the smile on his face froze: "Oh no! Oh no, oh no, oh no... So... that intelligence was sent too early!!"
Indeed, judging from Zhu Yunwen's actions today.
His first thought after his joy was, of course, that his master in Beiping had not misjudged him.
Then he remembered that he had noticed the situation was not good that morning. At that time, the nobles of Huaixi were bound to rebel, and it seemed that the young emperor was about to be devoured alive. How could he care about so much? In desperation, he directly asked his master in Beiping to come back and take charge of the overall situation.
But now it seems...
Why the hell is there any need for the Hongwu Emperor to come back and suppress things? That little ancestor in the palace has cleaned everything up perfectly! The entire Yingtian Prefecture remained as peaceful as ever from beginning to end, as peaceful as if nothing had ever happened!
Thinking of this, Jiang Huan immediately and hurriedly said to the messenger in front of him, "Catch them back! Catch them back quickly!"
