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

Although Zhu Di was feeling uneasy, he concealed it well on his face, revealing only a hint of curiosity as he said, "Oh? Since it's not a secret, I'm actually a little curious."

But as he spoke, he felt a little disappointed.

I originally thought that this was intelligence that just happened to hit the gun barrel, and I had this good opportunity, so maybe I could find out something indirectly.

But look at my dad's attitude.

It was probably not any important news. Only difficult things were valuable. Things that were not difficult would not have much value. All in all, he missed an opportunity to gather intelligence.

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled nonchalantly and said, "It's still about that mine thing."

Zhu Di frowned slightly.

Puzzled, he asked, "The Datong Mine? Didn't that happen quite some time ago? The current Jinyiwei Commander, Song Zhong, personally came to the northern border to handle this. Not only did he purge his Jinyiwei, but he also stripped Datong Prefecture's governor and other local officials clean of their skins."

He was a little confused. Even the newspapers sold in the capital had published this matter a long time ago. Song Zhong came to Datong Prefecture to kill people. After finishing his business, he might be able to rush back to celebrate the New Year. At this point in time, could it still be considered as fresh "information" being delivered to his father?

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

He said, "That was a long time ago. It's long gone."

For him, this was indeed not something that Zhu Di could not know.

Now the father and son were sitting at the same table eating the New Year's dinner. With only his son in front of him, he chatted with Zhu Di as if it were just family matters.

He continued, "But it's not completely unrelated to the Datong Prefecture mine."

"Our eldest grandson has only been on the throne for a short time, and this was his first time encountering such a large-scale corruption case, so he became furious. While he ordered the handling of the Datong corruption case, he also sent his men to investigate other mines."

"He took it out of the account book and asked the people below to check it."

After talking like a family, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a big piece of fat meat and put it into his mouth, just like an ordinary old man sitting at the New Year's dinner table and talking about his grandchildren lovingly. No matter whether the grandchildren did something good or bad, he would just laugh it off.

Zhu Di listened carefully to every word Zhu Yuanzhang said.

He said with some surprise, "A random inspection of the mine? There's actually something like this behind the corruption case at the Datong Prefecture mine?"

Before this.

Both newspapers and imperial edicts publicly mentioned only the case and handling of Datong Prefecture.

There was no fanfare about spot-checking the account books and sending Zhuo Jing on a business trip to check. The purpose was naturally to conduct surprise attacks so that the relevant personnel would not have a chance to respond and prepare, so not many people knew about the subsequent events.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a keen eye, and he soon found out that Zhu Yunhuan had sent an imperial envoy.

But Zhu Di was just a vassal king on the frontier.

Perhaps he could call the shots in the Peking area and command a large number of troops, but he had been away from the center for many years. During the Hongwu Dynasty, there was the Jinyiwei, a tight network. Zhu Di did not dare to do anything under Zhu Yuanzhang's nose.

It is naturally difficult to know all of Zhu Yunhuan’s actions nowadays.

But listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's muttering.

He probably had some idea in his mind.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Yunhuan, the young official, was eager to make his first move after taking office. After he found out about the case in Datong Prefecture, he sent people to continue investigating.

It was just a futile effort of looking for a needle in a haystack.

After figuring this out, Zhu Di's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately seized the opportunity to say, "This... doesn't seem like something that the hand that stirs up the situation would do."

Such a brainless thing definitely couldn't be the intention of the person behind Zhu Yunhuan. It's more likely that Zhu Yunhuan was just being impulsive and insisted on doing it. Just like when he uprooted his father's vegetable garden and became obsessed with alchemy, his father must have known about it...
