But when it came to Zhu Biao, he had already lost this vigilance. Hu Weiyong was an arrogant and overstepping-the-authority person, and so were the Huaixi nobles and many ministers who were proud of their merits.

But his son always stood up to plead for mercy and contradict him when he was about to kill or deal with someone...

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Biao had his own prestige and cohesion and could control this group of people, his lack of vigilance in such matters always made Zhu Yuanzhang a little worried.

Now seeing that Zhu Yunhuan is so cautious in this matter, although the matter is small, we can see the big picture from the small details.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved, and even his worries were alleviated a bit - as an emperor, one must not be credulous, permissive, and always remain skeptical - the experience he learned from his setbacks, this successor possessed from the very beginning, and the ship of the Ming Dynasty could not capsize!

Naturally, Lu Wei didn't quite understand what he was thinking.

He just thought, how could such an insignificant piece of information make this difficult ancestor so happy? However, he was also happy to see it. When Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, he felt much more relaxed.

He immediately followed up on Zhu Yuanzhang's words with a sentence that Zhu Yuanzhang loved to hear: "The disciple surpasses the master. The Ming Dynasty is becoming more powerful year by year, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been a wise ruler for generations."

Zhu Yuanzhang had a faint smile on his face.

He raised his hand and pointed at Lu Wei: "I see you know nothing, you only know how to tell me what I want to hear!"

He naturally saw what Lu Wei was thinking, but he was in a good mood, and these thoughts were what an emperor should have. What the subordinates should think about was how to do things for their superiors and their masters.

So he just smiled and said, "Go on and tell us what other 'absurd' things our eldest grandson has done recently."

Although the words say "absurd".

But the expression on his face couldn't lie: he was very happy.

Lu Wei also relaxed a lot, cleared his throat and continued:

"What happens next is related to this mining case."

"I wonder if it's because of this major case in Datong Prefecture that His Majesty is displeased. In addition to sending Commander Song to Datong to investigate, he also selected several account books from all the mines."

"Send the previously unknown Director of the Internal Audit Bureau, the one who exposed the Datong Mine case, to inspect the other mines on behalf of the Emperor. Your Majesty's hatred of evil is a blessing to the Ming Dynasty."

In Lu Wei's opinion, this should be a good thing, so after he finished speaking, he quickly praised his great grandson in front of the emperor.

But... this flattery doesn't seem to have the desired effect.

Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him didn't show the pride he'd expected when hearing his grandson being praised. Instead, he rubbed the teacup on the table next to him with the tip of his thumb, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something...

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Is this a good deed for His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture?" Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Lu Wei became nervous for a moment and asked tentatively.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Shaking his head, he said, "Good! It's indeed good! But... his vision is a little narrow! He's immersed in this. He's the emperor, the ruler of a country. He should consider everything from the highest position!"

Lu Wei didn't understand what Zhu Yuanzhang said at all, but seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's deep and thoughtful look, he didn't dare to say anything else. He just shut up tactfully, silently added new tea to Zhu Yuanzhang's tea bowl, and waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Lu Wei and pondered for a moment.

Cai Luan muttered absentmindedly, "There's no point in continuing to allocate manpower, material resources, and financial resources to spot-check the mines' accounts at this point... We'd be better off using that time and energy to carefully examine the tax collection data from various regions during the 25th year of the Hongwu reign."
