Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"What could it be?"

"It's cooked..."

"Does it mean the time is right... or something else?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Di suddenly felt as if he had grasped something.

After thinking silently for a long time, Zhu Di seemed to have finally figured something out, and his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Could it be that because Father has more intelligence than I do, and knows that the time is ripe for us to launch an attack on Yingtian Prefecture?!"

"Who knows! It must be news from Yingtian Prefecture, telling Emperor Father that that brat Zhu Yunhuan is having a falling out with the Huaixi nobles!"

"That's right! In any case, Father will have to rely on my troops and strength to retake Yingtian Prefecture. So, it's only a matter of time before I know about this. It also aligns with what Father said!"

"As for why Father didn't elaborate with me...it's probably because I was too obvious about my desire for that position before, so Father is wary and worried about my impulsiveness..."

The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case!

As this thought came into my mind, I immediately analyzed every word my father had just said.

While thinking.

Zhu Di's face unconsciously showed excitement, his heart began to beat faster, and his hands holding the hoe turned slightly pale.

Until he heard his father's familiar voice, complaining to him: "Fourth brother, if you are distracted again, your toes will be dug up."

Only then did Zhu Di come to his senses.

He realized that he had lost his mind and the hoe stuck in the soil was only two inches away from his toes.

Zhu Di was slightly startled, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at his father, who was scolding him with a hint of disdain, and chuckled awkwardly, "This...it seems that my son still has a lot to learn and practice in farm work."

"Keep an eye on it."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave an instruction and shook his head helplessly.

While continuing to devote himself to the work of tilling the soil and fertilizing the vegetables, he muttered to himself, "What was this brat thinking just now? His expression is so weird, and I didn't say anything else just now."

Of course, he just muttered a few words in his mind and didn't think too much about it.

"Okay, thanks to your reminder, father. I will be more careful in the future! Hehe!" Zhu Di responded to Zhu Yuanzhang in a very good mood. There was a joyful smile on his heroic face, and he worked harder with the hoe in his hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing more.

Zhu Di was in a good mood and continued to hoe the ground with them. The yard became quiet, with only the "thump", "thump", "thump" sounds of the father and son hoeing the ground, mixed with their sweat, rising and falling one after another.

Not long after.

Outside the yard, a series of footsteps came closer and closer.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di both stopped what they were doing at the same time.

He straightened up and looked towards the door - the only person who could appear in this yard so openly without any obstruction could only be Lu Wei, who served Zhu Yuanzhang closely. Moreover, he must have important business to come in at this time.

"Finally, there's news from Yingtian Prefecture?" Zhu Yuanzhang changed his usual calm demeanor and asked with an anxious look on his face.

Zhu Di didn't say anything.

But the concern on his face was even greater than Zhu Yuanzhang's.

For nothing else.

But within these few days...

Neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Zhu Di received the letters from their secret spies in Yingtian Prefecture at the usual time.

Although the distance between Yingtian Prefecture and Beiping was very far, and it was normal for intelligence to arrive late at night, this still made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di pay more attention to this letter.

Especially Zhu Di.

After all, he knew that Monk Daoyan's secret agents in Yingtian Prefecture had already begun contacting the Huaixi nobles, so he was naturally more worried.
