Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face. "You haven't dealt with them since the beginning of the new year? What is this brat waiting for? Waiting for them to continue their greed!"

"This little wolf cub was quite efficient last year."

"Why are they being so soft on these damned people now? They even published a special issue of the journal, set up such a large-scale scheme, and pulled these people out from the crowd. They also found evidence of corruption..."

"Why let it go so easily? Isn't that too easy for those corrupt officials?"

"Tsk! That's really unpleasant!"

Zhu Yuanzhang complained angrily. Although he had calmed down a lot now, he was still the Hongwu Emperor after all. When it came to such things, there was only one thought in his mind - kill!

Some days ago.

The special issue of the magazine that was sold specially by the court was also sent over.

At the same time, news came from Jiang Li, saying that the little wolf took advantage of this special edition to suddenly release news, scaring all the officials in Yingtian Prefecture and revealing their true intentions.

Following the clues, they discovered a lot of shady activities and obtained evidence.

Two days ago, Zhu Yuanzhang heard that his eldest grandson had the time to plan such a big thing before the New Year. He was very happy. He clapped his thigh, his heart and eyes full of satisfaction, and exclaimed that it was a well done thing.

however……

I thought that given the wolf cub's murderous nature, if he didn't deal with it before the New Year, he should kill these flies after the New Year.

But I didn't expect the result to be like this.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally felt unhappy.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but Lu Wei standing by was also secretly curious, thinking to himself, "Has the young emperor changed his character after the New Year?" However, it was not his turn to speculate on these things.

He could only chuckle and offer some positive advice, saying, "Perhaps His Majesty Kaiqian has other considerations! Although he hasn't punished those guilty ministers, he's at least aware of the demons and monsters within the imperial court. This should give him some precautions, right? Others wouldn't have anticipated such a grand situation. His Majesty Kaiqian has always been wise and intelligent."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy.

But he took the words to heart, and casually reached out to tease the bird in the cage twice, saying, "If you don't want to kill it, then don't kill it. He has his own ideas."

After a pause, he turned around, put his hands behind his back, looked at Lu Wei calmly and said, "Others can't think of it, and we couldn't do it before. Are you talking about us?"

Lu Wei swallowed his saliva.

Suddenly I felt like I had no way to defend myself. No matter how I put it, it wouldn't work!

He could only quickly kneel down with a thud and explain, "Your humble servant...your humble servant had absolutely no such intention! It's just that those sinners are full of tricks. Your Majesty is in charge of the empire, busy with countless affairs, and there are always times when you...don't have the time to care."

Fortunately, the next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's laughter was heard. His voice was loud and deep, full of energy: "Hahahahahahahaha!"

"Wake up! The next generation of Ming Dynasty rulers will be more powerful than us. This is a good thing!"

Hear Zhu Yuanzhang's hearty laughter.

Lu Wei, who had already broken out in a cold sweat, finally felt relieved. He realized that this ancestor was just teasing him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

In my heart, I secretly complained: "People really can't be too idle."

The great Hongwu Emperor.

He has nothing better to do than to make fun of this little Karami.

Although he was still terrified, he could only bite the bullet and continue the joke with Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty... I am a coward and cannot stand this fright. I still want to loyally serve Your Majesty for a while longer!"

However, he was also secretly surprised, and was even more surprised at the admiration that the Hongwu Emperor had for the Kaiqian Emperor of Yingtianfu - such an arrogant and domineering founding emperor had actually repeatedly admitted that he was not as good as a grandson.

This includes the emperor's favoritism towards his grandson.

But it is enough to explain.

The current Emperor Kaiqian is far more powerful than he thought.

"Look how cowardly you are!"

Zhu Yuanzhang grumbled nonchalantly, then instructed, "Go, go to Prince Yan's Mansion! Call the Fourth Brother... and that gloomy troublemaker monk to come and talk to us."

Lu Wei took a deep breath to suppress his fear.

He stood up with gritted teeth and replied, "Yes, I'll go right away." After that, he backed away and left the main courtyard.

Watching Lu Wei's disappearing back.

Zhu Yuanzhang's lips curled up with an arc of interest, and he whispered to himself: "I can't compare to my eldest grandson, and naturally no one else in this world can compare to my eldest grandson!"

"Fourth Brother, do you think you could possibly understand this? If you were to ascend to the throne... I'm afraid you'd end up treating those banknotes like the rest of us, as if they were wealth that could be freely issued! That would be truly disastrous!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Then his eyes became much sharper, even revealing a hint of murderous intent: "And that trouble-making monk... the dragon-slaying technique... our eldest grandson knows all of this, do you know it? Just thinking about slaying dragons?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with pride as he spoke to himself, thinking, "No matter how gifted, brilliant, or knowledgeable you are, you greedy monk! You're not qualified!"

The entrance to the third private courtyard.

Not long after, a plain and inconspicuous carriage stopped outside. Zhu Di and the monk Daoyan in a black cassock came out of the carriage one after another.

The two looked at each other with flickering eyes.

There was a sense of hesitation in their hearts. Looking at the plaque with the words "Huang Mansion" written on it, their faces became slightly solemn...
