"Speaking of which, I still don't understand. What does it mean to ask you to commit less murderous crimes? What kind of murderous crimes are you going to commit?"
After coming out of the brothel, Zhu Di was still thinking about the previous conversation between Chu Ze and Monk Dao Yan.
However, Chu Ze did not explain too much to his questions.
There are some things that are not suitable to be explained clearly at this time.
Because after making it clear, there are too many variables.
He could talk to Yao Guangxiao, but it was not time to talk to Zhu Di yet.
Yao Guangxiao is a strange person, and he is also a sensible person.
Ever since Chu Ze revealed that he had time traveled, he had basically told Yao Guangxiao everything Zhu Di knew.
Zhu Di had great trust in him.
Yao Guangxiao only had a little understanding of what Chu Ze did through Zhu Di's mouth, and after meeting him today.
He was almost certain that Chu Ze was almost the same type of person as him.
Through Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao also knew that Zhu Biao would die early in the future.
It was Yao Guangxiao's own speculation that the vassal king was in rebellion.
In addition, now that Chu Ze has taken action, domestic turmoil in the future is almost inevitable.
And after knowing the future, then go back to the present.
Chu Ze tried his best to solve the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty.
While trying to protect Zhu Biao, they are also inducing Zhu Di, the biggest potential stock in the future, to leave the country.
So what does he want to do?
He is a person from later generations, but after time travel, he suddenly became loyal to the royal family?
is it possible?
A person who is like a rootless duckweed, but he is worried about the affairs of a country.
Is this normal?
If he said he had no purpose, Yao Guangxiao would never believe it.
A person who tries his best to prevent or eliminate civil unrest probably means that his goal is not internal.
Then the only thing left is the outside.
Yao Guangxiao was basically certain that the person Chu Ze wanted to deal with was outside the Ming Dynasty.
His goal is also outside the Ming Dynasty.
And he couldn't even defeat this goal by himself.
Therefore, Chu Ze needs a complete and powerful Ming Dynasty for his chess.
Then he guides the chess piece step by step towards the person he wants to eradicate.
Inspire a country to attack foreign countries!
This is Chu Ze's ultimate goal.
When Yao Guangxiao saw through all this, he persuaded Chu Ze not to commit murder.
If a country needs to fight a foreign war, how many people will die?
Yao Guangxiao himself didn't know this.
But he knew clearly that this was definitely a lot more people than he needed to die if he wanted to assist Zhu Di in ascending to power.
Even people like Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but be moved.
"What kind of evil can I do? If you look at me like this, the most I can do is kill a chicken."
"Don't listen to the old monk's nonsense. I'm not as crazy as he says."
Facing Zhu Di's questioning, Chu Ze waved his hand to him impatiently.
After meeting Yao Guangxiao today, it was the first time that he showed his ambitions so unscrupulously.
Even when facing Zhu Biao, Chu Ze mostly just pretended to be confused.
Yao Guangxiao is a smart man, but he is also half a lunatic.
He can do such things as Fengtian Jingnan.
So Chu Ze can be sure that even after Yao Guangxiao knows his purpose, he will not reveal it.
Because in a sense, they are the same type of people.
Chu Ze now needs him to assist Zhu Di to open up wasteland abroad, so he will definitely protect his safety.
But if he disrupts Chu Ze's plan, then Chu Ze will definitely not mind getting rid of him.
If you can avoid dying after traveling through time, then if you don't do something.
How could he be worthy of the good luck God bestowed upon him?
"Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?"
Zhu Di, who is still young now, always feels that he has noticed something, but he still can't figure out the key point.
And looked at Zhu Di, whose eyes were full of confusion.
Chu Ze said to him with a serious face.
"Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think about your upcoming closure, where you should go, how you should gain a foothold, and how you can make a lot of money! Then expand your territory and attack all directions."
"With our relationship, I will naturally give you some help, but it is basically impossible for me to leave Yingtian Mansion, so in the future, you will have to find a way to strengthen yourself after being sealed."
"The most I can do is give you some powerful weapons to support you. Don't make such promises when you set out. In less than a year, you'll be beaten by foreigners and run away like a grandson. If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll have to bear the consequences for the rest of your life. I don’t want to start being a human being anymore.”
Zhu Di, who was still thinking about whether Chu Ze and Monk Dao Yan were hiding something from him, heard Chu Ze mention the matter of his sealing.
He immediately put aside the confusion in his mind and looked at Chu Ze with sharp eyes.
"It's impossible, okay! Once I, Zhu Di, go on an expedition, I will either die fighting outside! Or I will become king outside the country! There is no way I can escape back in despair."
"A group of foreign barbarians, do they still need me to avoid their sharp edges?"
In Zhu Di's opinion, everything else can be laughed off as a joke.
But fighting alone is absolutely not possible.
He was the King of Yan in the Ming Dynasty.
If you step out of the country, you will be hung up and beaten like a grandchild.
Doesn't that mean that Zhu Di is nothing but relying on his father's blessing?
This is absolutely not okay!
"Okay, okay, there's no need to be so serious. I still have time, so if I just say "Yongle" to you, I won't be able to watch you go out and get beaten. After all, you are also one of the objects of admiration for our descendants! "
"Come, come with me to the palace and taste the sweet smell of science with your father."
Looking at Zhu Di who finally stopped worrying about the conversation between himself and Dao Yan.
Chu Ze called him directly, and then led the guards at home to load yesterday's things into the carriage.
And Zhu Di, who was still high-spirited at first, heard that he was going to the palace to see his father.
Others immediately withered.
His father was like a big mountain pressing on the heads of their brothers.
I probably won't be able to get over it in this life.
"Didn't I remember that my father said that he didn't want to see you in a short time? You just left the palace yesterday and you ran back to the palace today. Aren't you afraid that your father will be angry?"
When he got on the carriage, he took a cart full of models and some messy things on his way to the palace.
Halfway through the road, Zhu Di remembered that Chu Ze was almost driven out by his father!
In less than a day, he ran back again
What if his father gets angry?
"Don't worry, your father is so anxious to drive me away because he is worried that I will suddenly bring him some bad news. Today we are going to announce the good news. Your father will not be angry."
Sitting in the driving seat of the carriage, Chu Ze's body was trembling slightly with the bumps of the carriage. At this time, because he was no longer sitting in a closed carriage compartment, his dizziness was also reduced a lot.
Although sitting outside the carriage, it felt a bit embarrassing to pass away like this.
But after Zhu Di considered Chu Ze's situation of vomiting while riding in a carriage.
He simply replaced the groom and became the driver himself.
It's all embarrassing anyway, so let's just be more honest about it.
"But this doesn't seem right! There is gunpowder on this carriage and we are just dragging the gunpowder in so brazenly... Let me go, this is really wrong!"
Zhu Di, who didn't think anything was wrong at first, suddenly reacted when he mentioned that their carriage carried gunpowder.
The carriage they were carrying at this time was carrying a lot of gunpowder.
This thing is much more dangerous than any sword, gun or stick.
In the palace, except for the palace guards, no one is allowed to bring weapons into the palace.
Weapons are not yet available, so he just pulls the gunpowder
Isn’t this seeking death?
Zhu Di, who had reacted, wanted to stop the carriage, but they had already arrived at the entrance of the palace.
Looking at the palace guards who had gathered around him with cautious expressions, Zhu Di's face suddenly turned pale.
"Don't tell me that you didn't report it beforehand?"
"Hehe. I said I forgot. Do you believe it?"
"I"
Because of a small mistake by Chu Ze and a small negligence by Zhu Di.
Wait until they see Zhu Yuanzhang with their things.
The two of them were already accompanied by palace guards.
All the things Chu Ze brought were handed over to the guards for guarding.
"You bastard. Such a small country dares to despise the power of the Ming Dynasty. Good, good!"
When Zhu Di and Chu Ze were guarded by guards, they came outside Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial study.
Before he even entered the door, he heard Lao Zhu's thunderous roar from the imperial study room.
This roar frightened Zhu Di directly outside the door.
"You're going to kill me now! You brought gunpowder into the palace. You didn't know to tell me in advance. Now it's okay. We brought gunpowder into the palace privately. This was a big mistake. Now my father is very angry. "
Zhu Di, who felt that he had been tricked by Chu Ze, looked as ugly as he could at this time.
However, Chu Ze on the side was nothing compared to the anger he and Zhu Di might face from Lao Zhu if they brought gunpowder into the palace privately.
What he is more curious about now is the reason why Lao Zhu got angry.
Small country
This title sounds so familiar.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, Mr. Chu Ze, your Majesty invites you."
When Chu Ze was still wondering if he had come by chance.
Erhu, who is Lao Zhu's personal attendant, has arrived outside the palace.
After the other party bowed expressionlessly to Chu Ze and Zhu Di, he respectfully made a gesture of invitation to them.
Seeing Er Hu's respectful and polite behavior, Zhu Di's feet and stomach were trembling.
They got into trouble today...
Given the current situation, there is a high probability that he will be beaten!
"Well, could you please go out and invite my eldest brother?"
Before Zhu Di entered the door, he looked at Erhu beside him with a bit of pleading in his eyes.
At this time, the only thing he could think of was his eldest brother Zhu Biao.
If his eldest brother came to beg for mercy, he might be spared a few beatings.
"Sorry, Your Highness, there is nothing I can do about this matter."
Faced with the proposal that Zhu Di regarded as the last straw, Erhu refused without even thinking about it and shook his head.
Seeing that there was no hope of saving his life, Zhu Di didn't know what to do for a while.
He doesn't want to be beaten
But when he looked at Chu Ze, he found that Chu Ze was no longer around him.
Could this guy have run away?
After Zhu Di didn't see Chu Ze's figure, such a thought came to his mind.
However, the next second, Chu Ze's voice sounded in the imperial study room.
"Your Majesty! I'm here to see you. Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood today. What's going on? You're so angry."
Zhu Di couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Chu Ze's somewhat unbeatable voice coming from the imperial study.
When did this guy get in?
When Zhu Di walked into the imperial study room with anxiety, the first thing he saw when he entered the door was his father's extremely gloomy look.
Then, there was Chu Ze standing by with a very happy smile on his face.
"What's going on with you two? Someone give us an explanation!"
"And Chu Ze, didn't we tell you that we just let you out of the palace yesterday? Why are you back today? Why, are you not used to living outside the palace?"
Zhu Di listened to his father's voice that was almost as cold as frost. He hurriedly lowered his head and came to Chu Ze. He was just about to bow down and salute, and first admit his mistake, apologize or something.
As a result, before he could speak, Chu Ze's voice rang again.
"Your Majesty, don't you always think that I don't tell you good news? Today I brought you good news, or there was a little accident on the way and the palace guards stopped me."
"Good news? What good news have you brought us?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally had an extremely gloomy face, looked a little better after hearing Chu Ze's somewhat self-deprecating words.
At least this time when I saw this guy, he wasn't going to say anything disgusting again.
Probably not anymore.
"Your Majesty, didn't I ask the alchemist yesterday to try to make gunpowder into granular form? Although some people died, the experiment was successful."
"Today, what I thought of was a way to increase the power of gunpowder."
"By the way, Your Majesty, what happened to you just now? Why don't you talk to me if you are so angry? Although I may not have an idea, I can still scold you."
Chu Ze, who was still talking about gunpowder, suddenly changed the subject halfway through his words and brought the topic directly to what Zhu Yuanzhang had just gotten angry about.
When he heard Chu Ze suddenly talk too much about court affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to reprimand him.
But then I thought about it, and it seemed that I couldn't talk to this guy.
"We just received the news and sent the envoys to the Japanese country to ask them to pay tribute. Not long after they arrived, they were killed by the Japanese people."
"A small country is now so arrogant and despises the power of the Ming Dynasty. We are considering whether to send troops to teach them a lesson."
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Chu Ze, who was standing below, showed an intriguing smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, this person is giving you money, how can you be angry?"
"Huh?? What are you talking about?"
