At this moment, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were completely unaware that they had caused an unreasonable disaster just because they followed the prince.
After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Jin Yiwei immediately turned on his power.
They really did it. Even when they went to the toilet, they had one ear against the wall and listened. They took a few breaths in total while going to the toilet.
As for Chu Ze, after returning from Lan Yu's house, his expression became even more depressed.
Today he had already shamelessly asked Lan Yu what his daughter looked like.
Of course, the statement is naturally much more euphemistic than this.
He just said that he wanted to see her or something.
The result is that he has not left the court, is shy, and is not allowed to see other girls.
It's up to Chuze people to deal with it directly.
However, it was not without gain. At least he found out that his future wife's name was Lan Ruoyan.
But other than that, Chu Ze didn't know anything else.
Feeling a little depressed, he fell directly on the bed and fell asleep after returning home.
And this time, he slept very peacefully.
In his sleep, he felt someone shaking him.
When he opened his hazy sleepy eyes, he found that standing beside his bed was actually Zhu Di.
"Why is it you with the special code again? You're not letting people sleep anymore!"
Chu Ze was in a haze, holding back the anger of getting out of bed, and struggled to look out the window.
However, what he saw was a bright crescent moon
"What the hell"
After he was sure that he didn't sleep until dawn, Chu Ze couldn't hold back his suppressed anger when he got up.
At this time, he no longer cared about the identity of the other party, and immediately began to use foul language.
"Hey! Don't be too busy cursing! I knew you would definitely oversleep. The official morning ceremony will be up at this time."
"Get up and get dressed quickly. You'll be late soon."
After Zhu Di saw that Chu Ze was about to curse, he quickly interrupted Chu Ze's words.
After Chu Ze heard what Zhu Di said, he suddenly reacted.
It seems like he really has to go to morning service today.
And this damn time to go to court, the special code is simply too torturous.
Because he was in a daze, he was completely unaccustomed to Chu Ze getting up in the middle of the night, and his whole body was limp.
He might as well enjoy the luxurious life of having someone help him get dressed today.
Otherwise, as usual, he would lift it up every day.
You really are not used to having several maids around you, especially when someone is kneeling to put on your shoes.
Of course, the main reason is that I am worried that I will get a nosebleed or something.
"I suddenly felt that if I could always be a ninth-grade junior registrar, I would be fine just hanging around like this."
Sitting on the carriage, I had to reach out to drive away the mosquitoes flying around my ears from time to time.
Chu Ze complained helplessly.
It's not bright yet, but the moon is still bright. Officials have to get up and pack up their cumbersome court clothes, their appearance, and the things that need to be reported today.
Fortunately, Chu Ze does not have a formal job, otherwise he would have to sort out the work to be reported today.
After this busy meal, I was exhausted.
"This has to be you. Everyone else who is an official wants to climb up. You are the one who dislikes this and that. But I am curious, aren't you obsessed with power at all? "
"Think about it. When you are a high-ranking official, you can decide someone's life or death with just one sentence. No matter where you go, you will be followed by countless people, vying to flatter you. No matter where you go, there will be people nodding and bowing to you."
"Don't you want to experience this feeling at all?"
Looking at Chu Ze who was constantly disgusted and complaining next to him, Zhu Di asked tentatively while driving the carriage carefully.
After Chu Ze heard his question, his hands that drove away the mosquitoes paused slightly.
Then he silently turned his head and looked at Zhu Di.
"Do you know black stockings? Do you know cat tails? Have you ever seen house dancing? Wherever you go, people will nod and bow to you. What's the use? Do you know that unknown people are never killed on the guillotine?"
"Besides, I was vigorous and famous during my lifetime, and my coffin boards were stolen after my death. Being a high-ranking official brings glory in front of others, but vicissitudes in life behind. I am used to being free-spirited. I don't like to be flattered by others, and I don't like it at the same time. Flattery means one thing to your face and another behind your back."
"It's a good thing to be alive, happy and comfortable."
"Life is only a few decades, and you never know who will find you first in an accident or tomorrow. Therefore, cherishing the present and enjoying yourself in time is life."
"Besides, look at it, you have to go to court so early and go to the main hall. Your father is not happy and scolds you like a grandson. What's so good about being an official?"
It can be said that Chu Ze's rhetoric made Zhu Di a little stunned when he said it directly.
Cherish the moment and enjoy yourself in time.
Aren't these his playboy brothers?
This Chu Ze’s outlook on life is really
While the two were chatting, the carriage slowly drove outside the palace gate.
Along the way, more and more officials came to attend court.
Following the crowd, everyone first came to a side hall to wait.
After the drums in front of the palace were beaten, they rushed to the main hall to attend court.
After arriving outside the main hall, you have to line up and wait for the hall to open.
These extremely complicated rules and waiting made Chu Ze feel for the first time how complicated going to court was in ancient times.
At the same time, it is also such a nonsense.
In order to show the authority of the emperor, all the ministers must wait in advance for the emperor's arrival, then open the palace door and enter the palace.
After struggling for at least an hour, the sky finally got brighter.
At this time, the court meeting finally began.
But it is not as long live the emperor as Chu Ze imagined.
After the emperor arrives, everyone greets each other, and then begins the reporting process.
However, Chu Ze is just a small ninth-grade master registrar, and there is no place for him in this hall.
So due to the rules, he could only stand in a corner.
It could be said that no one in the entire hall even noticed him except Zhu Di who brought him into the hall.
This also made Chu Zele feel more relaxed.
Leaning against a pillar, he silently listened to various reports from various people in the court.
Listening to this, Chu Ze, who had not slept enough in the first place, and then continued to work for nearly an hour, actually dozed off against a pillar.
"In the past few days, we have received a lot of information. Most of them are telling us that after the vassal kings from various places became vassal, they had nothing to do in the feudal country and only knew how to do random things and harm the people all day long."
"What do you think about these accusations? Today I will listen to your opinions for a while. Tell us, is there any such thing? If so, how should it be handled?"
"Today we also learn from Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and accept advice with an open mind, regardless of his or her official status. You can speak freely, and we will never pursue any fault."
While Chu Ze was dozing off, most of today's daily affairs were finished.
And Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the throne above and looking down at everyone, finally brought out the biggest focus of today's meeting.
However, when the ministers below heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the court, which had occasionally heard a few whispers, suddenly became silent.
There are hundreds of officials in the court, including prime ministers Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang and others.
Down to the head of Yingtian Prefecture in the last row, the minister in front of the palace, etc., all fell into silence.
Even if everyone looks at me, I will look at you.
His eyes were full of questioning and confusion.
Are you going to impeach various princes for committing evil deeds in their fiefdoms and preying on the common people?
Are you kidding me? Who dares to perform such a performance without risking his life?
Doesn't he know that by submitting this kind of memorial to impeach the vassal king, he is reminding His Majesty that the feudal system is harmful to the country and the vassal king is cruel, so the vassal system needs to be withdrawn?
When His Majesty decided to enfeoff, how many people had to be killed to calm the public and complete the enfeoffment.
Now you have been here for so long, and now you are here to refute the matter of being crowned king.
If this is not obvious, it means lighting a lamp in the toilet and looking for shit [to die]!
Therefore, the courtiers present were very curious, who or whose person was subjected to such a memorial?
As for what His Majesty just said, in the eyes of the ministers, it is just a formality, just listen to it.
Anyone who believed His Majesty's words and stood up at this time would be extremely stupid.
If you stand up to refute the speaker, in His Majesty's eyes, you are just flattering him, because everyone actually knows in their hearts some of the actions of the vassal king in the feudal country.
If you stand up and say good things about the vassal kings at this time, you will be considered a treacherous minister.
Just wait until you die.
And if you stand up and agree, it's a coincidence that you are trying to sow discord between His Majesty and the feudal princes, and intentionally alienate the father-son relationship between His Majesty and the vassals.
Just wait for death and that's it. No, you don't even have to wait for death. You can die on the spot.
So at this time, let alone asking someone to stand up and say something.
The ministers below had to be careful when breathing, for fear of being spotted by His Majesty.
I'll ask you to stand up and say a few words.
Just opening your mouth is a sin.
Under such circumstances, the entire hall became strangely quiet.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting above him, was not in a hurry at this time.
If someone reports that the vassal king is causing trouble in the feudal country, it is just made up by him.
There is no such person at all.
He just wanted to find a reason to let Chu Ze, who had arranged for him in advance, speak.
So now he has set up the stage.
All that's left is to wait for Chu Ze to speak.
Everything was ready, except for Chu Ze who suddenly spoke.
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, Chu Ze stood up at this time and proposed that the vassal kings be granted a foreign seal, so that they could not only gain experience, but also defend the Ming Dynasty, and incidentally expand their territory.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang asked the ministers for their opinions like this. If anyone objected, Xu Da, Lan Yu and others would stand up to express support.
Then Zhu Biao and Zhu Di stood up together to express their support for this proposal, and then Zhu Di took advantage of the situation and proposed that he would be the first to be granted an external seal to set an example for many vassal kings.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the situation and settled the matter.
There are basically no problems with this arrangement.
But after waiting for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually became ugly.
Because Chu Ze, who should have jumped out to propose a proposal long ago, couldn't even see a ghost for a long time.
The ministers below did not dare to take a breath at this time.
After all, they all know that the question raised by Zhu Yuanzhang this time is just a question.
Whoever picks up will die.
Therefore, the ministers also chose to shut up in a tacit understanding.
If someone is targeted, he will be unlucky.
Under this strange tacit understanding, everyone fell into silence.
As the silence continued, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became more and more dull.
'Damn it, didn't Chu Ze promise well? People? '
On the dragon chair, Zhu Yuanzhang's face had begun to turn a little livid at this time.
He doesn't see anyone when he's waiting on his left, and he doesn't see anyone when he's waiting on his right.
How can we act like this?
After waiting to no avail, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Biao below.
There was a hint of questioning in his eyes.
"Fourth, what are you doing? Where did you take this person?"
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiring gaze above him, Zhu Biao also looked at Zhu Di beside him with black lines on his head.
He asked Zhu Di to be responsible for bringing him.
Why is it that at this critical moment, everyone is gone?
"I don't know either. I'm sure he was brought into the hall by Chu Ze. At that time, because his official position was too low, I placed him at the back..."
"Let me go. Is this guy going to change his mind and run away?"
When he thought of this possibility, cold sweat broke out on Zhu Di's forehead.
After Zhu Biao heard Zhu Di's guess, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
This... this is if Chu Ze really sneaks away at such a critical moment.
That's a big joke.
"No, we have to find a way to make sure this guy is still there."
When Zhu Biao thought about the possibility that Chu Ze might have escaped secretly, he began to murmur in his heart.
If Chu Ze really gets involved with his father, then even if his mother comes, she probably won't be able to save Chu Ze.
So after a slight hesitation, Zhu Biao suddenly took a step forward.
"Reporting to my father, I have recently discovered a capable person. He only talks about the direction in a low voice. I am afraid he does not dare to speak. Could you please give me a decree and allow him to come to the palace to speak? Maybe this person may have some unique insights. Definitely!"
The atmosphere had already fallen into a strange cycle, but Zhu Biao's sudden step forward finally broke the awkward situation.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but cast an approving look at Zhu Biao with satisfaction.
It’s the eldest son who will cause trouble!
Also, where did this bastard Chu Ze die?
"Since the prince has made a recommendation, let this person come forward and speak freely. Who is your so-called capable person?"
"Your Majesty, this person's name is Chu Ze!"
"Ah! I'm here, I'm here. Who called me?"
When Chu Ze's name was mentioned, Zhu Biao's voice suddenly rose, almost like a loud roar, which reverberated throughout the entire hall.
And his sudden call also woke up Chu Ze who was dozing off.
In a daze, he heard someone calling him and quickly agreed.
After hearing his voice, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's faces turned frighteningly dark.
This guy is actually still here.
So what was he doing just now?
The late night slot continues, please give me a monthly pass!
