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

He was subconsciously a little nervous.

However, there were many people at the door, so he could only exchange a glance with Zhu Yuanzhang. He then silently went into the house with Zhu Yuanzhang, dismissed his attendants, and then said with a tight throat: "Dad? ... You... you're back from shopping?"

Sons are naturally afraid of their fathers, let alone such a powerful father.

This kind of repression engraved in the genes is difficult to eliminate in a short period of time.

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang hummed indifferently and said, "I haven't even looked for you yet. Why are you rushing over here so quickly?"

He didn't say anything on the surface, but he was secretly terrified in his heart: "Is he really worried about me? Or is he worried about Yingtian Prefecture?"

Zhu Di chuckled, "Father, you've returned from the dead. As your son, I'm naturally thrilled. I still thought yesterday was a dream! Now that I see you again, I'm finally at ease."

Of course, he chose the nicest words to say first.

After saying this, he hinted, "But this incident has really scared my son. After all, your identity is extraordinary. You are the Hongwu Emperor, whom everyone in the Ming Dynasty relies on. You are still fine, but the new emperor in Yingtian Prefecture has been on the throne for more than two months. It's very strange."

After all, he was the future Emperor Yongle. Even when facing bloodline suppression, he still had this psychological quality, except that his palms were a little sweaty.

Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips subconsciously.

A rare look of embarrassment appeared on his face - uh... I wanted to make some moves and ended up getting myself defeated. What can I say?

After a pause, he threw the question back and said, "Then what do you think is the reason, Lao Si?"

Being a leader for decades is not for nothing.

Now it was Zhu Di's turn to be embarrassed: "Uh..."

What you are asking is, as your son, am I really allowed to expose your shortcomings to your face? Are you saying that you were rebelled against by the nobles of Huaixi? Are you saying that you were wise all your life, but now in your old age you have been framed and driven to Beiping Prefecture?

Zhu Di admitted it.

Well, he didn't dare, because he was afraid that this living father would get angry and beat him.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Di did not dare to answer directly: "This... My son is far away in Beiping, thousands of miles away from Yingtian Prefecture, and I am really confused."

Even so.

But judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's hesitation.

Zhu Di had actually gotten the answer from the side in his mind: he had indeed suffered a setback in Yingtian Prefecture and came here in disgrace - this would indeed be difficult for the great Emperor Hongwu to speak of.

But what he couldn't expect was.

The real reason was more difficult to explain than he expected...

Zhu Di knew Zhu Yuanzhang well, and he knew his father was definitely not one to accept defeat. So his eyes narrowed slightly, and he changed his tone of questioning: "Father, you came to see me this time, I guess you have something to tell me to do?"

"When I have some free time, can I come to you to live out my retirement?" Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer this question directly. For the time being, he really came here to live out his retirement.

Even though he did have his own purpose in looking for Zhu Di.

Can you tell me now?

Zhu Di did not expect Zhu Yuanzhang to answer like this. A hint of surprise appeared on his face. Then he chuckled and agreed, "Hehehe, of course that's fine. You are my father. It's only natural for a son to provide for his father in his old age!"

After saying this, Zhu Di couldn't help but wonder:

"What's going on? Could it be that my father is too old to work anymore, and he no longer has any desire to hold on to the throne he's sat on for over twenty years?"

"That's unreasonable! How could my father be such a person?"

"Or... is my father really on guard against me, afraid that I might attack him? It seems that everything is just as Master Daoyan and I speculated yesterday."

Think of this.

The voice of Monk Daoyan inexplicably emerged in Zhu Di's mind: [Kill? Or not? This is a question that must be considered.]
