Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Fortunately, this murderous intent only flashed by and was suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang the next moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up.

With his left hand behind his back and the bird cage beside him picked up with his right hand, he walked slowly a few steps in the sunny courtyard. Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan naturally did not dare to sit still. Even though they each had their own thoughts and the place was in chaos, they also stood up.

Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth, glanced casually towards the south, and raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

“People like this…”

"Others can't do anything to him, but our eldest grandson is quite capable!"

"Since the little wolf has taken a fancy to him, he plans to gradually wear down his pride and turn him into his own dog..."

"If Grandpa Emperor can help, of course I will help you."

Apart from the evil taste of venting his anger, this was Zhu Yuanzhang's greater intention. As for Yingtian Prefecture... he was now completely relieved and believed that Zhu Yunhuan was capable of handling most things, so he made up his mind: Once Emperor Hongwu died, he would be truly dead from now on.

Just as a "grandfather".

No matter what, I still think that if I can push forward what my grandson wants to do, I will help him.

Throughout history, most so-called elders have been like this.

This is just like those retired elderly people today. No matter how old they are, they always want to help their children and grandchildren in any way they can.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words seemed like a bolt from the blue, making Zhu Di and monk Daoyan dare not speak, and they didn't know what to say.

The only sound in the yard was the occasional fluttering of a bird. After a long moment of silence, Zhu Di finally dared to take a step forward, breaking the solemn atmosphere and asking, "Dad... do you know the answer to this exam?"

After saying this, Zhu Di took a deep breath and held it in his chest, suppressing his inner injustice, resentment and unwillingness.

He cared too much about what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

He also wanted to hear it. How could a test question make his father say that he couldn't be the emperor?

Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and teased the bird.

He sneered, "Humph, of course I know! I can even tell you! My eldest grandson thinks much further ahead than I do! You can't compare!"

He wanted to help Zhu Yunhuan to temper Monk Daoyan.

He also wanted to help Zhu Yunhuan to temper his fourth son, but Zhu Di also had the thought that "he didn't want his son to die at the hands of his grandson."

"I..." Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Zhu Di almost couldn't breathe out the breath in his chest, and his face was already angry: It's like this again... His grandson is a treasure! Whatever he does is a treasure!

But Zhu Di was obviously not so shallow. He vented his anger on the spot, paused, and still kept it to himself. He said in a deep voice: "Son... I am all ears!"

After he said this, even Monk Daoyan couldn't help but raise his eyes.

He can be indifferent to other things.

But I can't help but care about what happened today...

however.

Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him sneered and said, "Even if you wash your ears, I can't tell you now, at least not now."

Zhu Yuanzhang had thought about revealing the answer directly to let them see the gap between themselves and Yingtian Prefecture, and let them know that while their eyes were still fixed on the chair in Fengtian Hall, his eldest grandson's eyes... were not only on the current Ming Dynasty, but also on preventing the possible problems that might arise in the next few decades.

But he changed his mind later.

Zhu Yunhuan made such a big fuss about setting these two exam questions, it was obviously not for any reason such as a prize, excitement, or fame... that simple.

That little wolf cub wants talent.

After all, this kind of exam question might seem like a big or small question, but anyone who can figure this out will surely become a pillar of the nation in the future! They'll also be qualified to be the wolf cub's right-hand man!

Regardless of whether anyone can ultimately think of the deepest level of this question.

No matter what, I can't let this troublemaker mess up this matter.

Simply.

With his identity as the Hongwu Emperor, the specific mystery and answer are not important. His attitude is enough.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, as if thinking for a moment.

Then he said calmly, "Fourth Brother, this is the test our eldest grandson gave to the government and the people, and it is also the test we gave to you."

"Aren't you staring at the chair in Fengtian Hall?"

"At least answer these two questions first!"

"Otherwise, you are not qualified!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at Zhu Di solemnly, very seriously, without any intention of joking.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence - people who can only see what is in front of them are certainly not qualified compared to those who can see decades into the future, or even... see generations of the Zhu family into the future.

At the same time, today's words, as a test question given to Zhu Di by Zhu Yuanzhang, can to a certain extent entangle his fourth son and this troublemaker, making them think more about this matter, so that they will have less energy and attention to make things difficult for Zhu Yunhuan.

This really left Zhu Di a bit bewildered, but soon, a hint of fighting spirit rose in his eyes: "A test question for... my son...?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and confirmed, "That's right! If you can't figure this out, there's no need to worry about anything else."

Zhu Di's eyes flashed.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say it too explicitly, he already fully understood what the two questions meant. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Okay, son, I will think about it carefully when I get home!"

Monk Daoyan, who was standing behind him, had already frowned tightly and was thinking absentmindedly.

Zhu Di had his competitive spirit.

Monk Daoyan also had his own pride and competitive spirit in his heart.

After finishing what he wanted to say, Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to argue with Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan anymore. He simply put down the bird cage in his hand and lay back down on his recliner: "Go."

Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan exchanged ambiguous glances.

With embarrassed expressions, they each performed the royal and Buddhist rituals.

"My son, please retire."

"I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he backed away and left the yard.

Watching the two figures walking away outside the door, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with some regret and said, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother... I... really miss you. That little wolf cub has so many tricks up his sleeve. You are so confused by the situation, can't you see it clearly? Oh..."

"Lu Wei, close the door. We've said everything we can say. This brat is still as stubborn as ever!"

Zhu Yuanzhang complained somewhat helplessly.

In this case, Lu Wei naturally didn't dare to answer it casually. He could only nod in silence and ran to close the door.

……

On the other side, the private residence that had become the "Huang Mansion" was not very large. After the two left the main courtyard, they quickly left the mansion and got into the carriage they had come in with gloomy faces...

now.

Both Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan had completely gloomy faces.

Zhu Di clenched his fists in anger and slammed his fist down on the carriage, venting his anger.

"It's just two exam questions, what's the secret behind them?" Zhu Di said with a look of resignation on his face. After that, he seemed to make amends and said, "Whatever the secret is, it wasn't that brat's idea!"
