In the palace late at night, the atmosphere was extremely quiet.
Apart from the heavy footsteps of the groups of sergeants patrolling the palace, there was only the occasional sound of insects.
In the palace late at night, Chu Ze, who was sleeping soundly in the East Palace guest room, was directly kidnapped in his sleep.
Then, under the escort of a group of guards with swords and golden clothes, they came to a quiet small hall.
When all the Jin Yiwei exited, the lights gradually lit up in the originally dark little hall.
Under the light of the lights, Chu Ze could vaguely see a tall figure holding a candle and lighting the surrounding candlesticks one by one.
He was forced to turn on his phone, but he didn't feel the slightest panic at this time.
Just silently looking at the figure who was lighting the surrounding candlelight little by little.
"You're so calm! You didn't struggle or resist the whole time...what? Are you so not afraid of dying?"
After the figure lit the last candlestick, he blew out the candle in his hand.
When he turned around, his face showed some vicissitudes of life and twilight.
"Your Majesty...this is the imperial palace. Those people who dare to go to the East Palace to arrest people quietly don't have to think about it. They must be under your orders. Since you want to see me, you don't want the prince to know."
"Basically, you either plan to get rid of me, or you plan to talk to me alone. No matter which one it is, it doesn't matter to me."
"Resistance and struggle are useless, why bother!"
Chu Ze looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who turned to look at him, his shoulders slightly shrugged, and there was no trace of panic or concealment on his face.
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he now has no pressure at all.
"To be honest, we really don't like you very much! People like you are too difficult to control..."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze, who still looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. After shaking his head slowly, he went straight to the middle of the hall and sat down.
Then he raised his head and looked at Chu Ze standing opposite. After a slight hesitation, he finally waved his hand to Chu Ze.
"Sit down. There are only two of us today and we want to have a good talk with you."
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chu Ze didn't think much, and came directly to the opposite side of Zhu Yuanzhang, and then sat down carelessly.
Then, under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, he actually picked up the teacup on the table and poured the tea.
Seeing Chu Ze's actions, Lao Zhu couldn't help but frown slightly.
This guy Chu Ze behaved too casually in front of him.
Even Lao Zhu has the illusion that he and the other person are just equals.
Lao Zhu doesn't like this feeling very much!
"Are all your descendants so disrespectful?"
After watching Chu Ze pour a cup of tea, he actually put down the teapot in front of him, held the tea cup and started drinking without any intention of pouring him a cup.
This move made Lao Zhu feel a burst of chest tightness.
This kid...
"Your Majesty, in our future generations, we believe that everyone is created equal... Of course, although this is an idealization, at least in the future generations, there will be no title of master or servant! In a sense, everyone enjoys equal rights!"
"Especially for an ordinary person like me, the relationship between us is more about heart-to-heart relations than exchange of profits!"
"If you have to abide by the rules and terms in every aspect, life will be very tiring for you!"
"Life is already hard, so why put shackles on yourself? Do whatever you want and live according to your heart! This is life, isn't it?"
Chu Ze naturally knew what Lao Zhu meant.
He raised the tea cup in his hand, smiled and drank it in one gulp.
After seeing what he said, Lao Zhu didn't say anything more.
He just silently poured himself a cup of tea.
"You kid...can you tell me about our sister? How long does she...how long does she have?"
Today's entanglement with Queen Ma made Lao Zhu's originally rotten heart feel the feeling of fear again.
In particular, the pain of being about to lose made his heart ache the most.
He lost his parents at a young age and many brothers and sisters.
This made him hate corrupt officials very much!
After that, he gradually learned to be cold-blooded, and learned to rob and fight!
In the end, with the support of that tenacious will, he came to where he is today.
But even if he becomes the emperor now, he holds the power of life and death for others!
He originally thought he would have nothing to lose.
But in the past few days, he still received bad news one after another.
Especially this time, what happened to his sister made him feel intuitively and appropriately what he was gradually losing!
His sister, his grandson, his son.
His family members...
Lao Zhu was scared, so he finally found Chu Ze tonight.
"Your Majesty, I knew you would definitely ask about this..."
After hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang finally asked about Queen Ma, Chu Ze just shook his head and sighed.
Then, he silently poured himself another cup of tea.
"Empress Ma, according to historical evaluations, is called one of the four great empresses in history. Her name will last through the ages..."
"She can be said to be the queen who most appropriately embodies the four words "mother of the world". Your Majesty, you kill with iron blood. You often kill courtiers because of trivial things. It is Empress Ma who has done it time and time again. Save these people.”
"From the perspective of future generations, this is actually a sign of mental and physical exhaustion. Your impulsiveness and rage will first affect the people around you."
"Think about it, Prince Zhu Biao, he was obviously a virtuous king, why did he die so early?"
"Because he has a sense of responsibility in his heart! He will blame the death of those good ministers who were killed by you for no reason on himself, thinking that he did not protect them well and it was his own incompetence."
"You gave him responsibility, but you didn't give him the ability to take responsibility!"
"So step by step he was destroyed by the pressure and self-blame you put on him."
"The same is true for Queen Ma. She even has more and heavier responsibilities than the Crown Prince!"
"She is a good person, has a conscience, will blame herself, and will feel pain... Whether it is later generations of medicine or current medicine, there is a saying that if a person is under high stress for a long time, the body will inevitably There will be losses!”
"Your intentions are good, but that doesn't mean you are right!"
"Before Queen Ma died of illness, she left behind a story. After she knew that she was not going to die soon, she refused the treatment of the imperial doctors because she knew that if the imperial doctors could not cure her, they would all die in your hands."
"A person who is still thinking about others before she dies. Your Majesty, what do you think your every unprovoked killing will bring to her?"
After Chu Ze finished speaking, he silently poured a cup of tea again and drank it in one gulp!
He felt that if he didn't drink, he might not be able to drink anymore...
One more drink is one cup!
