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

Everyone present knew the truth.

This may seem like casual chatting, but in fact, every sentence contains a witty revelation, and every sentence must be listened to as if doing reading comprehension.

It's just a serialized storybook.

No matter how attractive it was, could it make the great Hongwu Emperor give up the throne he had sat on for half his life? Could it make his father tolerate his dark history of failure?

Obviously not.

Zhu Di carefully considered it.

I was suddenly shocked.

"Father...has revealed his hand!"

"Although he said on the surface that he wanted Zhu Yunhuan to be the emperor, in reality, whether or not Zhu Yunhuan could properly serve as the emperor was not the main point, and it was not even my father's true intention. What he really meant was to tell me that he had left people and means in Yingtian Prefecture - as long as my father was willing, he had the ability to ensure that Zhu Yunhuan could properly sit on the throne!"

"Since he has this ability, and has always been wary of me and the other vassal kings, then given my father's intentions, he will definitely take advantage of this and clamp down on us vassal kings!"

"If something were to happen to my father, either at my hand or at the hands of another vassal king... given his close ties with Yingtian Prefecture, what would be the next step? A true edict of succession would be given to Zhu Yunhuan, completely putting the world on his side. And then... he could even use this opportunity to directly reduce the power of the vassal states!!"

"He has hung a sword over the heads of all the princes. If I touch him, the sword will fall!"

"This is the true meaning of Father's words!"

The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more fear and horror he felt.

kill? Or not to kill?

Master Daoyan had raised this question long ago, and Zhu Di had to admit that, driven by ambition, he had not completely rejected the proposal, and had even struggled and hesitated...

If I really lose my mind, it will be bad for my father.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the Huaixi nobles' army arrives! And he won't even think about seizing the throne or becoming emperor; his only fate will be death without a burial place!

Zhu Di held the newspaper tightly in his hand.

My palms were sweating.

Fortunately, the newspaper served as a cover, so his horrified and confused gaze had a place to rest, allowing him to maintain superficial composure.

And at the same time.

The one who was even more panicked than him was Monk Daoyan.

Although he clasped his hands together like an old monk and lowered his eyes, his heart was practically beating out of his throat. His inner garments beneath his dark cassock were practically soaked with cold sweat...

He never expected it.

Although the Hongwu Emperor was rebelled by a coup and was driven to Peking in a very miserable state to seek refuge with his son, he was able to escape safely and fake his death in such a serious and urgent coup, and he was even able to keep a hand in Yingtian Prefecture?

The key is to operate under that person's nose...

How on earth did he do this? ——This possibility is impossible no matter how you think about it, but Zhu Yuanzhang did it!

Moreover, no matter what methods the Hongwu Emperor used in Yingtian Prefecture, the most important thing is.

Just now...

I almost attacked him!!!

Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden action completely stunned the monk Daoyan. For a moment, his head was buzzing.

There are a thousand question marks in my mind.

On Zhu Di's side.

After carefully savoring Zhu Yuanzhang's words while reading the newspaper, he naturally understood his current situation: You, the Hongwu Emperor, are still the Hongwu Emperor. With your father's sword hanging over your head, don't even think about making any moves!

He stared at the newspaper with his pupils somewhat dazed and was silent for a moment.

Wait until you calm down a little.

Then he forced an awkward yet polite smile, responding to Zhu Yuanzhang's previous cryptic words, and said, "No matter what decision you make, as a son, I will of course obey and follow you wholeheartedly. If it really doesn't work out, you can retire in my Beiping and read some novels. I will accompany you, hehe."
