If Zhu Di was not his biological son, Zhu Yuanzhang would have felt that Zhu Yunhuan must kill Zhu Di.

After all, ambition is a very strange thing. When it grows to a certain extent, it can make people lose their minds, rationality, and even drive them crazy.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer so worried.

An iron pestle can be ground into a needle.

The little wolf cub can grind! He can break it, crush it, that's all. He has the ability and the capability to do so!

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "I can't wait to come to the restaurant to listen to the news. Sooner or later, this ambition will be crushed."

"It's best if it can be shattered."

Zhu Yuanzhang added something with a profound meaning.

If Zhu Di was stubborn and refused to face reality, he knew very well what the little wolf would do - killing people, reducing the power of the vassal states, and killing the chicken to scare the monkeys - he had already done it once cleanly and efficiently. If someone threatened him, with his murderous nature, he would not care about doing it a second or third time.

Zhu Yuanzhang had enough dead sons.

Of course, he hoped that his fourth child could survive.

"Your Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture is clever and resourceful, which is natural. In the future, Your Majesty will be a wise ruler for all ages, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan will be the prime minister of the country, and the Ming Dynasty will be strong." Lu Wei naturally saw through Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts and said.

At this time.

There was a commotion outside the room:

"The newspaper delivery man is here!"

"Here it comes! Although it's a little late, the tenth issue of the newspaper has finally arrived! I've been waiting for ten days for this serialized storybook, 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'!"

"Vulgar! Every man is responsible for the fate of his country. How can a storybook compare to the politics of his country? I'd rather see what new things the court has to offer."

"..."

The customers who had been waiting outside Cui Ming Lou for a long time began to talk excitedly. It turned out that the new issue of the newspaper had finally arrived.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned sideways and pushed the window open a crack.

Sure enough, I saw a man carrying a cowhide bag on his back, his horse's hooves clattering through the snow as he galloped towards Cui Ming Tower...

Although he has become a retired old man.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's face also subconsciously showed some anxiety.

Cui Ming Lou makes money from customers like Zhu Yuanzhang. The private rooms that cost a lot of money to book will come with a free newspaper. Therefore, not long after, a newspaper was delivered to the private room where Zhu Yuanzhang was.

"Old Huang, the newspaper is here." Lu Wei immediately handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Without waiting for the newspaper reader outside to start explaining.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the newspaper in his hand and began to read it.

Just a glance.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked, "The people in the Yingtian area...are being given free anthracite for heating?"

He had never heard of "anthracite", but he knew "coal".

Just looking at the title alone, I was naturally puzzled: "What...what is this intention? This is not the way to appease the people of Yingtian?"

Of course, he didn't deny it immediately.

Because he knew his grandson's abilities and skills, he knew it was impossible for him to do such stupid things.

Just when he was puzzled.

Then, an excited voice came from the lobby outside the restaurant: "Everyone!! Do you know what I saw in Yingtian Prefecture this time? It's absolutely horrifying, and none of you can imagine it!"

The voice still sounded breathless.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked through the small window towards the lobby, and saw the man who had delivered newspapers on horseback in the wind and snow, standing on the high platform in Cuiming Tower, which was specially used for storytelling and reading newspapers. His face was still frosted, and he had not had time to shake off the snow on his body.

The selling points of Cuiminglou are, first, the newspapers, second, the storytelling, and third, the person who records the situation in Yingtianfu with his own eyes and then comes back to retell it. In other words, he is a human camera.

"It seems...something big has really happened in Yingtian Prefecture!" Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and looked at Lu Wei with some excitement in his eyes. It must be no small matter that could make the newspaper delivery man so anxious.

And he also vaguely felt in his heart that this matter... might be related to the doubts in his heart during this period of time.

The onlookers in the lobby outside started to urge Zhu Yuanzhang: "Tell me what you saw!"

The person standing on the platform pursed his lips.

He said loudly, "Yingtian Prefecture held a press conference. This so-called press conference was organized by the imperial court and hosted by the eunuch Sanbao, a popular figure around His Majesty!"

"Eunuch Sanbao demonstrated it in front of all the people in Yingtian Prefecture."

"The vast quantities of coal previously delivered to the various provinces, prefectures, states, and counties of the Ming Dynasty by the Coal Transport Bureau...are not ordinary coal. They are smokeless and non-toxic! Just like ordinary charcoal, they can be used as a winter heating material!"

“I was there with my own eyes.”

"When the anthracite coal was burning, Grandpa Sanbao was standing next to the charcoal basin the entire time. Even though the coal in the basin was burning vigorously, there was no smoke at all!"

"..."

There was still a hint of disbelief and wonder in that man's eyes.

He vividly described the scene at that time.

Hearing the other party's voice, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly picked up the newspaper in his hand...
