"What's wrong with your hand? Wasn't it fine last night? What did you do last night?"
early morning.
After the morning court, Zhu Biao had just finished processing the memorial sent this morning, and he immediately came to Chu Ze.
And behind him were two little guys.
Now that Chu Ze had agreed to help him teach his two children, Zhu Biao naturally had to hurry up.
After all, Chu Ze's departure from the palace is already on the agenda.
After he leaves the palace, it will be a bit troublesome to let him teach the children.
Although he was full of awe for the knowledge of future generations in Chu Ze's mind.
But Zhu Biao, as a father, also has common problems as a father.
He wanted to see how Chu Ze's teaching ability was.
However, when he saw Chu Ze who was a little depressed, yawning from time to time, and looking particularly weak.
Zhu Biao's brows couldn't help but frown.
He looked like he hadn't slept all night.
Especially when he saw the cloth bandaged on Chu Ze's hand and the faint smell of medicine and blood, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel worried.
"Chu Ze, did my father summon you last night?"
Looking at the wound on Chu Ze's hand, Zhu Biao immediately thought of his father.
In this East Palace, the guards guarding Chu Ze would never have the guts to hurt Chu Ze.
And Chu Ze is obviously not a person who likes to play with self-mutilation.
Then, apart from Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao really couldn't think of a second person who dared to let such a special person like Chu Ze get injured in the East Palace.
"It's not a big problem. I was scared last night and then committed suicide."
"What? You even committed suicide! What was the result?"
"Huh? Your Highness, your question is somewhat rude!"
Chu Ze looked at Zhu Biao who looked a little nervous and couldn't help but rolled his eyes slightly.
How is the result?
You can actually ask this kind of thing.
I am such a big living person standing in front of you, and you ask me the result?
After feeling the contempt in Chu Ze's eyes, Zhu Biao realized that he seemed to have asked a very innocent question.
So he coughed twice quickly to relieve his embarrassment a little.
"Well, I'm not asking about the result of your suicide. What I mean is the result of your father summoning you."
As Zhu Biao spoke, he looked at Chu Ze's bandaged palm again.
"Do you want to see the imperial doctor again? If you don't handle it well, you will be in trouble if you find out the root cause of the disease!"
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Chu Ze just waved his hand casually.
"This little injury doesn't matter."
Seeing Chu Ze's indifferent expression, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel a bit more remorseful on his face.
"I'm sorry. I was careless. I didn't expect that my father would call you late at night... Otherwise, I would come to the guest room to rest with you at night, at least before you leave the palace."
"Hey, you'd better worry about it. I don't like to rest with men."
Chu Ze was quite touched by Zhu Biao's concern.
But when he heard that he actually wanted to move in with him temporarily, Chu Ze immediately shook his head like a rattle.
When Zhu Biao saw Chu Ze's reaction, he was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood what was going on in this guy's mind.
"You guy. I am thinking about your safety, you know? Why do you people in the future have such things in your mind? Can't we have a good chat?"
Zhu Biao gradually got used to Chu Ze's weird thoughts.
Anyway, in his opinion, Chu Ze was just startled, and sometimes he was nagging.
But since Chu Ze was not happy, he had no intention of forcing it.
But Zhu Biao also secretly noted it in his heart at this time.
He should pay more attention to his father from now on.
He was really afraid that when he woke up, his father had already killed Chu Ze.
"You can make arrangements in the courtyard outside the palace in the afternoon. At the same time, I will select a few people from the East Palace and you will take them with you."
"After all, those guards, maids, etc. of yours were all arranged by the emperor. You bring a few of my people with you so that they can inform me at critical moments."
"Now let's talk about what you and my father talked about last night!"
Chu Ze naturally did not refuse Zhu Biao's arrangement.
Although they are all the same to him, there is no difference between anyone.
"Sit down first. Do you want some tea?"
"Drink. I happen to be a little thirsty."
"Okay, pour me a drink too."
"."
Now that he has gradually proven his identity as a time traveler and has a relatively harmonious relationship with Zhu Biao, Chu Ze's freedom in the East Palace has also increased a lot.
At least, he can move freely around the guest room where he is.
But no matter how far it is.
After all, this is the prince's palace, and it's not appropriate for an outsider to wander around.
After the two of them came to the pavilion and sat down with Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen who were full of curiosity, Chu Ze took the tea handed over by Zhu Biao very naturally.
Under the speechless gaze of the other party, he spoke again.
"Actually, your father didn't come to me for anything. You also know that your father was scolded by your mother yesterday, and then he just asked about your mother's affairs."
Hearing Chu Ze talk about it, Zhu Yuanzhang actually asked him about Queen Ma last night.
The movements of Zhu Biao's hands couldn't help but pause.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Chu Ze somewhat numbly.
He opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
"Now, the result is obvious. Your father was not very satisfied with my answer, so he opened the table on the spot."
Looking at Zhu Biao who was hesitant to speak, Chu Ze raised his bandaged hand.
It can be regarded as an answer to Zhu Biao.
After hearing what Chu Ze said, Zhu Biao's mood obviously dropped a lot.
"Did you say anything else? It looks like you didn't sleep well. You must have been talking very late last night, right?"
After sorting out his mood for a while, Zhu Biao asked again.
"That's about it. Your father, the Queen, came and asked about you again. I suggested that he abdicate directly and become the Supreme Emperor. Then he suggested that I stop talking nonsense, or else he would whip me personally."
puff.
When Zhu Biao heard what Chu Ze said, he was drinking tea and almost choked to death on the tea.
After a violent cough, he looked at Chu Ze with a strange expression.
Suddenly I felt that the fact that this guy was still sitting here alive was because his father was kind enough!
Let his father abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor.
It’s a shame that Chu Ze could say this!
"Next time you are in front of my father, you should be more restrained. You talk so much nonsense. I am really worried that you will directly anger my father..."
After Zhu Biao wiped the water stains on his clothes, he looked at Chu Ze with some serious words.
"Don't worry, if you don't die, I basically won't die. After all, for people of your generation, I have something special that is unique in the world. This is unmatched by anyone."
"Compared with my safety, you should worry more about your own well-being. Be more relaxed, you are carrying a lot of lives!"
For Zhu Biao sitting in front of him, Chu Ze knew very well the meaning of his life.
As soon as Zhu Biao dies, almost all the team Lao Zhu prepared for him will be wiped out.
The Lan Yu case, one of the four major Hongwu cases, was to clean up Zhu Biao's team.
"Okay, okay, let's change the topic. I've been living and dying all day long. It makes my head hurt. Xiongying, Yunwen, come here and pay homage to your husband! Give him the gift of apprenticeship."
Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze who was pointing something, and he knew exactly what this guy was talking about.
Zhu Biao himself was not stupid, and he naturally knew that his father had put so much effort into him.
If he died young, it would bring much turmoil to the court.
Although it was clear, Zhu Biao had nothing to do about it.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are beyond human control.
He doesn't want to die either.
All talking about these at this time is basically useless, it is better to talk about something practical.
For example, let his two children become apprentices.
"Prince, do you think it is really appropriate for them both to worship me as their master?"
Zhu Biao once again mentioned the matter of apprenticeship.
Chu Ze didn't mean to shirk, teaching the future emperor, how fun it was!
Especially now, Lao Zhu basically won't kill him.
Well, Chu Ze always wants to find out what he is doing wrong.
It is not impossible for Chu Ze to accept such things as accepting a disciple.
Going back to modern times is basically a fantasy.
Might as well do something meaningful.
However, after hearing Zhu Biao's words, he looked at the two children who came to him at the same time and were about to salute.
Chu Ze looked at Zhu Biao with a half-smile.
"What's wrong? Is Yunwen too young now?"
After Zhu Biao heard Chu Ze ask this, he didn't realize what he meant for a while.
I looked at the two children, one was six years old and the other was only three years old.
At this age, he seems a bit young.
"Prince, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? People should not speak secretly. If I were to teach them, I would never dare to say that I could teach them the way of being a man and the way of an emperor."
"But at least in terms of knowledge and knowledge, it is definitely better than what anyone teaches today."
"But of your two sons, only one will be able to reach a high position in the future. Are you sure you want to give them both the same thing?"
"Sometimes, if you give him a glimmer of hope, it will only hurt him in the end."
"After all, their future is the throne!"
After Zhu Biao heard Chu Ze's words, he was stunned for a moment.
Their future is the throne
In the future!
While Zhu Biao was still thinking deeply about Chu Ze's words, Chu Ze also looked at the two children in front of him.
At the age of three or five, this is the best time to get in shape!
If you really let him teach him, hehehe!
Zhu Biao and Chu Ze had their own thoughts for a while.
A little eunuch hurriedly ran towards this side with small steps.
When they came closer, the other party quickly saluted Zhu Biao.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yan, King Yan and King Xiang are here to ask for an audience!"
"Huh? The fourth and the twelfth?"
Zhu Biao, who was still thinking, was directly interrupted after hearing the little eunuch's words.
I heard that it was Zhu Di who came with King Xiang to ask for an audience.
Zhu Biao was slightly stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses.
"Since the fourth brother and the twelfth brother are here, invite them in quickly!"
"yes!"
After arranging for people to invite Zhu Di and the others, Zhu Biao turned to look at Chu Ze and the two children standing in front of him, still a little confused.
It seems that I need to think about the matter of apprenticeship again!
What Chu Ze said was not completely unreasonable.
In the courtyard of the East Palace.
Zhu Di held Zhu Bai by the hand and explained to him while walking.
"Old Twelve, don't you want to leave all of a sudden! The fourth brother came to the eldest brother to talk about business! You can't mess around, do you hear me?"
"Yeah, I listen to Fourth Brother! I will never mess around."
Now nine years old, Zhu Bai's favorite thing to do every day, besides reading, is to pester Zhu Di.
Today, Zhu Di originally came to see his elder brother, and of course he also came to Chu Ze.
The counselors around him wanted to see Chu Ze, and Zhu Di also wanted to see if it was possible.
Zhu Di was very clear about the abilities of monk Dao Yan.
Except for the fact that he was preoccupied with escaping to Zhu Di's rebellion, in Zhu Di's opinion, he was definitely a capable person.
So he actually wanted Chu Ze and Dao Yan to meet and see what kind of sparks they could create.
But what Zhu Di didn't expect was that just as he was about to go out, Lao Twelve came to the door.
And he kept pestering him. In desperation, Zhu Di also brought Zhu Bai to the East Palace.
"Brother,"
"Zhu Bai pays homage to the crown prince brother!"
Under the eunuch's recommendation, Zhu Di led Zhu Bai around and finally came to the guest courtyard where Chu Ze was.
When he saw Zhu Biao sitting opposite Chu Ze, Zhu Di didn't show too many vulgar etiquette.
He went straight to the pavilion where the two of them were.
He nodded to Zhu Biao, said hello, and sat directly between the two of them.
Zhu Bai, on the other hand, is more restrained.
He is young and rarely sees Prince Zhu Biao.
When seeing this eldest brother, Zhu Bai seemed a little unable to let go.
After all, where is Zhu Biao's majesty, many brothers are somewhat afraid of him.
"Old Twelve doesn't need to be polite, just sit down. Xiongying, pour tea for your fourth and twelfth uncles."
"Yes, father! Fourth uncle, please have tea, and twelfth uncle, please have tea!"
Seeing the two younger brothers who suddenly arrived, Zhu Biao was actually quite happy.
Both he and his father have been very busy these days.
Whether it's the transformation of firecrackers, facing the coming plague, or issues such as clan support and courtiers' salaries.
None of them are easy to solve, but we must try to solve them all.
I haven't seen my brothers properly for several days.
"Xiongying is so good! Thank you."
Zhu Di, who had just sat down, looked at Zhu Xiongying who was propped up on his feet and trying to reach up to pour himself tea. He couldn't help but smile and reached out to touch his head.
But the next moment, the smile on his face suddenly solidified.
He knew that his eldest nephew... seemed to be in for a disaster in the near future!
When he thought of this, Zhu Di subconsciously looked at Chu Ze beside him.
As soon as he turned around, his eyes collided with Chu Ze's.
"Hello Emperor Yongle! Long time no see."
"Can you please stop talking nonsense! I...I..."
As soon as he saw Zhu Di looking towards him, Chu Ze waved his hand to him and asked casually.
However, as soon as this guy opened his mouth, Zhu Di felt that all the hairs on his body exploded.
This is in front of his elder brother!
This guy also deliberately mentioned his title of Yongle.
Isn’t this intentional to trick him?
"Okay Chu Ze, stop teasing the fourth child. It's not easy for the fourth child now either."
Looking at Chu Ze who was deliberately teasing Zhu Di, and Zhu Di who was flustered after just one sentence.
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and waved his hand to Chu Ze, telling him to stop messing around.
After Zhu Di heard what his elder brother said, he also sighed deeply.
Emperor Yongle...
He probably won't be able to use this title in this life.
Zhu Di is a smart man.
He knew his father's temper very well, even now everything was going according to the original track.
He probably won't be able to step into that position again.
He thought that his father would definitely arrange his affairs before he died.
Not only that, after knowing that he would rebel and proclaim himself emperor in the future, his father would probably not give him another chance in the future.
Of course, Zhu Di never thought of rebelling.
More than anything, he just wants to be recognized by his father.
"Hello fourth uncle, hello twelfth uncle!"
When Zhu Di and others were at a loss as to how to continue chatting, a milky voice sounded beside them.
When he heard this voice, Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhu Yunwen looking at them with a smile on his face.
There were still some baby fat hands, and the movements were not very standard to greet them.
When Zhu Di saw his eldest nephew, he felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart.
Only then did Zhu Biao remember that in addition to Zhu Xiongying, the eldest son, Zhu Yunwen was also present.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he thought about some things that would happen between them in the future.
Especially for Zhu Bai
"Well...Yunwen! You go and play with your mother and concubine first. I'll talk to your uncles about something."
After sending Zhu Yunwen away.
Zhu Biao then looked at Zhu Di beside him with a wry smile.
I am afraid that this big family will not be able to face Zhu Yunwen in the future.
This kid really doesn't live up to expectations at all!
"By the way, it's a rare chance that you two meet, and you don't even want to beat him up?"
The two brothers Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were in an awkward situation just because of Zhu Yunwen's greeting.
Chu Ze's unconcerned voice suddenly sounded from the side.
When they heard Chu Ze's words, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di couldn't help but roll their eyes at Chu Ze.
This guy.
