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

"What the hell are you?"

"How dare you point your finger at my nose!?"

How long had it been since he'd been pointed at and scolded like this? Even though he'd given up all his power, the habits and dignity that had been ingrained in him over the past twenty years couldn't be shed with just a single word.

If it weren’t for his daily habit of referring to himself as “we”.

It might be exposed.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and shouted angrily. Even though he was wearing coarse linen clothes and his hair and beard were all gray, he still frightened the rushing constable and made him stop in his tracks.

He actually stuttered and didn't know what to say: "You...you..."

Although he was wearing a majestic official uniform of a constable at the moment, he lost his confidence for no reason when facing the old farmer in coarse linen clothes.

The two stood at the door of the dilapidated temple.

The two sides were about ten feet apart, and a brief standoff immediately occurred.

Until the end of the street, a strange voice shouted from afar: "Lao Li! What are you doing? We still have several streets to patrol! If there is something wrong, we will arrest people. If not, we will go to the next street."

I heard the voice of my colleague who was also a detective.

"Old Li", who was frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang, suddenly came to his senses and realized his own and the other party's identities.

He coughed lightly with a flickering look in his eyes to hide his embarrassment.

He secretly regretted his strange behavior: "Damn it, what happened to me just now? I'm just an old man..."

Then, he straightened his shoulders in an attempt to regain his former dignity and shouted, "You old fool, I don't dare point at your nose? What's there to be afraid of? I'm pointing at you! Who do you think you are? How dare you yell at me?"

He stepped forward again, his official boots creaking in the snow.

When he reached Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately pulled out a token and said arrogantly, "Beiping Prefecture Chief Justice, Constable, you have been calling His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan by his last name. Secondly, you have insulted His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. Thirdly, you have disrespected your superiors. Please leave!"

Lu Wei next to him immediately stepped forward with a flattering smile on his face.

He stood between Zhu Yuanzhang and the constable named Li and quickly explained with a joking tone, "Hehehehehe! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Sergeant, you just heard it wrong. Old Huang absolutely did not mean to insult His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."

"This old man of ours is from the country, and he's used to being arrogant at home. Please be more tolerant of me, please be more tolerant, hehehe..." As he said that, he took out a dozen copper coins from his sleeve pocket.

Zhu Yuanzhang had not changed his habits and became angry when he was offended.

But he did not forget that the current Hongwu Emperor had been dead for two months. Even if you say here that you are the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, no one will pay attention to you. They may even call you crazy and say that you offended the late emperor.

Take a thousand steps back.

Even if you can intimidate the constable by revealing your identity, or even if someone really believes you, you still have to consider the consequences: if the news that you, the Hongwu Emperor, are still alive is leaked to irrelevant people, will you still be alive?

At this time, it is natural to keep things quiet to avoid any unnecessary complications.

After saying this, he turned around and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a secret look, lowering his voice so that only the two of them could hear him and reminded him, "Old Huang, be patient for a while. Don't forget, you have become the 'late emperor' now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang only came to his senses now after his violent temper.

His eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips awkwardly, pretending to be generous and indifferent: "Forget it, go away, I'm too lazy to blame you!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Lu Wei's face froze, his heart suddenly sank, and the smile on his face turned into a bitter smile.

In the eyes of the murderous Emperor Hongwu, this could indeed be called forbearance and concession, but it certainly did not mean the same thing to the ears of the chief constable.
