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

Zhu Di glanced at his leisurely old father, gritted his teeth, pursed his lips, and bowed respectfully: "Your son Zhu Di pays homage to the emperor!"

Monk Daoyan also raised his hand and bowed: "I am Daoyan, the poor monk, and I greet His Majesty the Hongwu Emperor!"

"I'm here." Zhu Yuanzhang yawned and slowly sat up, leaning his center of gravity forward instead of swaying. A light smile of contentment appeared on his face. "Sit down. There's no Hongwu Emperor here anymore. My name is Huang Shiliu! Hehehe!"

As he spoke, Lu Wei had already moved two armchairs out of the room.

Zhu Di was used to his father's behavior and did not refuse. He sat down and asked about family matters with a smile: "After the New Year, there are many things to do in Beiping Prefecture. I am busy and have not come to you to complain. How have you been these days?"

The two were father and son, so Monk Daoyan didn't necessarily have much respect in his heart, but he still had to put on a show of respect. He said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty," and then sat down with feigned formality...

He couldn't figure out Zhu Yuanzhang's intention in calling him here.

If he didn't understand, he would just remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Besides, this kind of occasion wasn't suitable for a mere recording monk like him to say too much.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him for the time being.

He raised his eyebrows at Zhu Di and said with full energy: "Great, why not? We are doing very well! The people have had a good year, which means we have had a good year." Speaking of this, his old face broke into a smile, with his big teeth showing.

Even though his father had expressed his opinion last year, Zhu Di's eyes couldn't help but dim.

On the surface, we are talking about the common people.

But in reality, wasn't he just trying to tell people that it was that young boy Zhu Yunhuan who managed the Ming Dynasty so well? Even if the credit belonged to someone else, he would still give it to his "good grandson."

However, Zhu Di was used to this kind of favoritism.

He gritted his teeth secretly, suppressed the resentment, dissatisfaction, and indignation that had just risen in his heart, and forced a smile, saying, "Since this is the case, my son is relieved."

After he finished speaking, he paused and asked, "Dad specially called me here today. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea slowly.

Without keeping anyone in suspense, he went on to say directly, "That brat from Yingtian Prefecture has come up with two more exam questions. This... you should already know about it, right?"

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and changed his mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang had eyes in Yingtian Prefecture, and so did Monk Daoyan. Of course, he knew about these two so-called "test questions". Or rather, the reason why Lu Wei happened to summon him and Monk Daoyan to the Prince of Yan's Mansion at the same time today was because Monk Daoyan happened to come to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to deliver the message.

Before meeting Lu Wei.

He, Monk Daoyan, Xu Miaoyun and a few others were still confused about this, staring at each other with no idea what to do.

However, Zhu Di did not dare to respond to Zhu Yuanzhang's words immediately - when Zhu Yuanzhang knew it, he also knew it. Wouldn't this be a clear admission that he had spies in Yingtian Prefecture? Although Zhu Di knew that his father would definitely guess this matter, guessing it was one thing, and admitting it verbally was another.

Seeing him fall silent, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Tsk! We know what you're thinking. A real man should do what he's done. Why are you being so coy?"

Zhu Di shifted his gaze guiltily, then simply admitted: "Yes... I have heard something about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at him and said, "That's enough! Now, let me ask you... What do you think is the answer to this question?"

When asked this question.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, and the half-amusing, half-contemptuous expression on his face disappeared. His gaze suddenly became serious, as if testing someone. He glanced solemnly at Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan...
