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

Lu Wei clasped his fists and bowed: "His Majesty said that he forgot to say a few words this morning, so he asked His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to go again."

Although Zhu Di was puzzled, he pretended to smile calmly and said, "My father has summoned me, so I will go. Assistant Secretary Lu, please come this way."

But then Lu Wei added, "By the way, in addition to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, His Majesty also wants to meet this Master Daoyan."

"Master Daoyan?"

Zhu Di glanced hesitantly at Monk Daoyan, bewildered. "On the surface, he's just a chief monk. Our meeting yesterday was a coincidence. With Master Daoyan's status, he wouldn't have earned the Emperor's respect. And now, under these circumstances, he's being summoned specifically?!"

Even Monk Daoyan was a little confused: "Your Majesty? Summoning this humble monk?"

Lu Wei nodded, and couldn't help but look this "troublemaker" up and down with some curiosity, and confirmed: "That's right."

Monk Daoyan could only respond: "This is a great blessing for me."

But at the same time, I felt a creepy feeling in my heart, and a chill inexplicably crept up my back, as if an invisible eye was staring at me.

But I have never shown anything over the years.

Why would the Hongwu Emperor care so much about him and even summon him alone?

With a hint of uneasiness.

Zhu Di, Monk Daoyan and Lu Wei set out from Prince Yan's Mansion and arrived at the private residence where Zhu Yuanzhang was.

"Dad." Zhu Di felt a little guilty and called out while pretending to be calm.

After all, he had just been discussing with others in his own house whether or not to kill his own father, and a moment later he was called over by his own father... This was very embarrassing.

Monk Daoyan was not one to show his emotions on his face. Even though he was puzzled, he remained calm. He clasped his hands together and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I, the humble monk Daoyan, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the first seat in the hall.

His face showed no emotion, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Dad, do you have anything else to tell your son?" Zhu Di took the initiative to speak and break the silence.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly and said nothing else. Instead, he asked casually, "You mentioned this morning that the newspaper published and sold in Yingtian Prefecture has reached Peking. Do you think... this newspaper is interesting?"

Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan exchanged puzzled glances.

No one knows what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to say.

Zhu Di could only bite the bullet and answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question, saying: "Some of the content seems a bit absurd, but some of the content is also quite interesting."

He didn't know whether there was any other meaning in Zhu Yuanzhang's words. At this time, it would be safest to speak according to his true thoughts and evaluations.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued chatting with a smile, "Yes, I think the serialized stories here are the most interesting. The plots are compact and novel. I am always the first to read them."

Zhu Di echoed truthfully: "Hahaha! My son is following and watching too."

He always felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was playing some kind of charade.

But it doesn't sound like it.

At this moment, he noticed that his father's eyes changed meaningfully, and he asked with interest, "Do you want to see the latest issue?"

Zhu Di thought secretly for a moment.

After reviewing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, I felt that there should be no problem and no trap in it.

He followed Zhu Yuanzhang's lead and replied, "I would like to read it, but Yingtian Prefecture is too far from Peking. The latest issue of the newspaper usually takes a long time to reach your hands."

"We have it, do you want to see it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Ah?" Zhu Di was increasingly confused about what his father was trying to do. He specifically asked Lu Wei to call him over to discuss the storybook in the newspaper?

Could it be that my father has really lost his ambition?

Are you really here to seek retirement?

So why did you call me here to discuss the storybook?

As he was thinking this, Zhu Yuanzhang took out a stack of folded papers from his sleeve. Without unfolding the paper, one could tell from the material that it was the rough paper unique to newspapers produced by the imperial court.

"Come and take a look." Zhu Yuanzhang said, holding up the newspaper in his hand.

"Uh..." Zhu Di hesitated for a moment, and could only bite the bullet and take the newspaper from Zhu Yuanzhang again. He slowly opened it and read the contents of the newspaper with some trepidation.

He felt that his father definitely did not just let him read the newspaper. This scene was indeed extremely strange.

Daoyan, who was standing by, was also completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

It is impossible to guess what the Hongwu Emperor was doing, and he even brought himself here specially. Even if you two want to chat about family matters or read storybooks, it is none of his business as a monk, right?

But soon.

He heard His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan in front of him exclaim in surprise.

"This... this is the fifth issue of the newspaper!?" Zhu Di exclaimed in surprise, a hint of surprise in his tone. "Your Majesty... this newspaper only goes out once every ten days, and Yingtianfu is a long way from Peking. I haven't even had time to read the contents of the fourth issue..."

Zhu Di said this.

He immediately gasped in realization, and even the monk Daoyan, who was standing half a body length behind him, looked stern.

This time is calculated.

The fourth issue was just released a few days ago, so I didn’t have time to send it to you.

Zhu Yuanzhang already had the contents of the fifth issue of the newspaper in his hands - not to mention that this was in Beiping Prefecture, even in Yingtian Prefecture, no one should have seen the contents of the fifth issue!

And now... the contents of this fifth issue of the newspaper...

Appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands!!!

Think about it together.

What could Zhu Yuanzhang's back-and-forth, showing them the unreleased fifth issue of the newspaper, mean? — "We have connections in the palace!"
