Looking at Chu Ze who looked like he was taking it for granted, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his back molars were itchy for a moment.
This guy looks so mean, why does he look like he deserves a beating?
Zhu Biao, who was standing next to Chu Ze, couldn't help but smile knowingly after hearing the reason why Chu Ze suddenly didn't want to die.
"I'm warning you. We won't kill you now, but you'd better restrain yourself, otherwise we'll get some good results from you."
"As for smallpox, let's find someone to try it first. If cowpox really can prevent smallpox, we can credit you with it again."
"Biao'er will make arrangements later to send this boy out of the palace. We don't want to see him recently."
"There have been too many things going on recently. After your son leaves the palace, you'd better be more honest."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was furious with Chu Ze's expression of wanting to be beaten to the extreme, he also knew that this was definitely not the time to talk about this with this guy.
Although Chu Ze revealed that he had not traveled through time for a long time, he also proved his worth with reality.
Especially the smallpox incident intuitively demonstrates the importance of his descendants in this era.
Of course, that is if what he said about cowpox vaccination is true.
"Chongba, I've heard a little bit about Chu Ze. Since he confessed his identity in front of you, he has never done anything wrong."
Lao Zhu originally wanted to hit Chu Ze, and then let the crow's mouth disappear from his eyes.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Queen Ma's voice rang out again.
"Sister! Didn't we agree that no one in the harem will be involved in politics? Now we are arranging business..."
After hearing Queen Ma's voice, although she had not stated her main purpose, Lao Zhu already knew what she wanted to say.
Lao Zhu had always known Chu Ze's arrangements, but it was obvious that Queen Ma didn't seem to recognize his calculations.
"Don't I understand you? Don't you just want to show off your imperial majesty and make people feel grateful and in awe of you at the same time?"
"I don't have a problem with you doing this to others. But you can't do this to Chu Ze... He has saved your grandson's life now, and now he has saved your son!"
"Haven't you ever thought about how much kindness this is, Chongpachi?"
"Of course we have thought about it! This is not..."
In response to Queen Ma's question, Zhu Yuanzhang became a little awkward when speaking.
He wanted to make some excuses, but today, in front of Empress Ma, who came to ask questions, he seemed particularly unsure.
Especially when he heard that the main responsibility for Zhu Biao's death lay with him.
Lao Zhu did not have the courage to face Queen Ma directly.
Of course, there is another reason.
Although he did not ask accurately, Zhu Yuanzhang knew clearly when looking at Queen Ma who was acting abnormally today.
His sister, I'm afraid...
It was precisely because of this conflict in his heart that Lao Zhu doted on Queen Ma especially today. He did not want his sister to be angry.
"Okay Zhongba, since Chu Ze is now my adopted son. He is not married yet, so naturally he should let me make the arrangements."
"Since Chu Ze revealed his identity, it can be said that he has never had any evil intentions, nor has he asked for anything in return! Not only did he point out the loopholes in the support you set, but he also noticed the flaws in your salary arrangement."
"All of these can be said to be great achievements."
"But considering that his status is quite special, even if he is not promoted to a noble rank, he should at least be rewarded in other aspects."
"I heard that Chu Ze is already engaged to a girl from the Lan Yu family, right?"
When Empress Ma mentioned the engagement between Chu Ze and the Lan Yu family's daughter, Zhu Biao looked a little embarrassed and interjected.
"That...mother! Not now, but always..."
After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded along.
Although everyone knew about this engagement, it was just something made up by Lao Zhu to tie Chu Ze to Zhu Biao as a bargaining chip.
But there are some things that just need to be clear to everyone, and there is no need to reveal them.
You still have to take care of it when you should be concerned.
"Okay, even if this engagement has always existed! At least Chu Ze is also engaged now! The Lan Yu family is now considered a famous family! Moreover, he is Yuchun's brother-in-law and Biao'er's uncle..."
"In the future, when his daughter gets married, at least she won't be laughed at, right? So I think Chu Ze should at least be given a nicer mansion, and his salary should also be raised. The position shouldn't be that of a bookkeeper."
"You have to take care of Lan Yu's child's face."
The more Empress Ma spoke, the more unhappy Lao Zhu became.
This is Chu Ze again, and this is Lan Yu again.
Coincidentally, he didn't like either of them very much.
Lan Yu is arrogant and arrogant.
Chu Ze has a crow's mouth and refuses to obey discipline...
But facing Queen Ma's slightly frowning brow, even if Lao Zhu was reluctant, he couldn't say anything.
"Our sister is right, we didn't think carefully...Biao'er! You...just take care of the arrangements!"
"Not only that, Chu Ze has been very kind to our family. No matter whether Zhu Chongba admits this kindness or not, this kindness is still there. Even if we become the emperor now, we cannot be that ungrateful person, otherwise who will do it in the future? Are you still willing to support you?"
"Chongba, I am definitely not as good at being emperor as you are, but I know that one cannot forget his roots!"
"Any merit must be rewarded, and any kindness must be repaid!"
"Chu Ze is now a lonely man. Just give him a house, but he has no money and no one. In addition, he is not familiar with the place now, and there is no one to take care of him."
"Since you have made arrangements, you have to make arrangements for others. From the servants, the cook, to the accountant, and the housekeeper. These should all be arranged for him."
"And Chu Ze comes from hundreds of years later, and some of his living habits may be different from ours, so you have to be a little more tolerant of him in some things in the future."
"This kid doesn't have a bad heart, and there's no need for you to force him to integrate into our era."
"...."
Listening to Queen Ma's almost comprehensive arrangements, Chu Ze felt warm in his heart!
This...is this what it feels like to be cared about?
Look at Queen Ma, then look at Lao Zhu...
People!
It really can't be compared...
Chu Ze was happy, but at this time Lao Zhu heard that Queen Ma had almost arranged all Chu Ze's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
His fists clenched involuntarily.
How can this brat be so virtuous?
And let their girl worry so much...
Damn you bastard!
