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

Zhu Di was shocked.

It’s not because my thoughts were pointed out directly.

After all, his father knew that he wanted to be the emperor when he was accidentally arrested and thrown into the dungeon by his own people on the first day he arrived in Beiping City.

Even at the end of last year, he was directly selected by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di was shocked by the seriousness of today's incident!!

now.

Not to mention Zhu Di.

Even the usually calm monk Daoyan's heart immediately began to beat fast: "Emperor! This person before me... actually linked these two so-called 'exam questions' with the matter of becoming emperor!??"

in other words.

This Hongwu Emperor...

He really knew the answer! Not only did he know the answer, he was actually quite proud of it!

With the experience of Emperor Hongwu, who had spent half his life in the military and ruled the Ming Dynasty for twenty-five years, what storms and waves had he not seen? There were not many things that could make him complacent.

Think of this.

Monk Daoyan lowered his head humbly, but a nameless anger rose in his heart. He didn't even notice that his other hand, which was hanging inside the black cassock, had unconsciously clenched. Beneath the calm surface, a myriad of thoughts surged in his mind:

"What on earth could possibly be enough to determine one's eligibility to be emperor?! How could the great Ming Dynasty be treated so lightly?"

"Using a test question to measure the emperor's position may sound like a joke, but these words came from the mouth of the Hongwu Emperor himself!"

"What's the answer? What's the solution to the riddle!??"

"..."

Monk Daoyan had to admit that he was a little confused.

When he first received the information about the two exam questions, even though he didn't understand their meaning, he thought it might be an attempt to play tricks on people, or perhaps some ingenious trick...

But now Zhu Yuanzhang said one word.

This made him understand that this matter was definitely not as simple as he thought.

Think of this.

Monk Daoyan couldn't help but grit his teeth, angrily complaining in his heart, "It's that guy's trick again!"

In Zhu Di's mind, the person he compared himself to was Zhu Yunhuan, but at least Zhu Di could comfort himself: this was just the plan of the person behind the scenes.

And here with Monk Daoyan.

I don't care who it is, there is only the so-called "opponent".

In other words, this was the hurdle that concerned Monk Daoyan the most - the opponent in Yingtian Prefecture, who usurped the throne of Emperor Hongwu, yet still had the intention to make the Emperor Hongwu so satisfied. However, he had no idea what the answer was, not even the slightest clue.

If this isn’t a loss, then what is?

This was his game, and he had thought that this game must be his home turf, but he discovered again and again that this was not the case.

Even.

This time, it was a losing battle where he didn't even know the whole process...

No matter how strong Monk Daoyan's mind was, he was somewhat defeated.

In silence.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Monk Daoyan with a sharp look in his eyes, which also contained a hint of pride, and a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that this troublemaker monk was about to lose his temper.

He had traveled all his life, what kind of monsters and demons had he not seen? Even if Monk Daoyan had concealed it well at this moment, when he lost his composure, Zhu Yuanzhang's deliberate attention would still reveal some clues.

This……

This was also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly decided to call Monk Daoyan over.

That's right, I just wanted to vent my anger! I wanted to give this rebellious troublemaker a hard time: "Humph! Who told you to keep inciting our fourth son to rebel and trying to bring down our eldest grandson?"

"If it weren't for our eldest grandson's willingness to keep you, we should have had someone skin you alive on our first day in Peking!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said viciously in his heart.

The inexplicable murderous intent in the yard immediately made Zhu Di, Monk Daoyan, and Lu Wei, who was serving closely, feel a chill down their spines.
