"Where are these two little bastards now?"
After exiting Xu Da's ward, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Erhu aside with a gloomy expression.
Upon hearing Lao Zhu's inquiry, Erhu quickly took two steps forward, and then whispered in Lao Zhu's ear.
"By the time our people started to investigate, Mr. Chu Ze and His Highness King Yan had already arrived in Hengyang City."
"According to the latest news sent over, after Mr. Chu Ze arrived in Hengyang City, he directly inspected the city with His Royal Highness King Zhou, and then followed him to the countryside to inspect water conservancy and so on."
After listening to Erhu's report, the look on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became a little better.
How can I talk about Chu Ze's escape with Zhu Di?
If someone else dared to flee in fear of crime, even ten heads would not be enough to chop him off.
And Chu Ze’s words~~
Lao Zhu knew in his heart that even if he got this little bastard back, the most he could do was beat him up.
Killing is not allowed.
But now he is in Hengyang City, accompanying Lao Wu to help the people.
In this situation, it would be almost impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to say that he was not relieved at all.
After all, during this period of time, he still knew something about Chu Ze's various actions, arrangements and ideas.
To say that he is devoted to the people, perhaps Chu Ze is not such a person.
But Zhu Yuanzhang could also feel that Chu Ze was someone who really cared about the people.
At least, he thinks about the people more than most ministers in the court.
"Chongba. The two children are kind-hearted. Just like Tiande himself said, instead of waiting for death in silence, it is better to give it a try."
"Tiande is the father-in-law of the fourth child. Since the fourth child can bear this matter with Chu Ze, they must have thought carefully about it."
"Although it's a bit outrageous, the children's hearts are not bad at least. Don't blame them for this, okay?"
While Zhu Yuanzhang was still thinking about how to deal with these two audacious bastards, Queen Ma had also silently withdrawn from the ward.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang standing at the door and looking into the distance, Queen Ma silently reached out and took his hand.
And after some hesitation, she spoke silently.
"If I were Tiande, I might."
"Sister! You can't say this. It's very unlucky. Let's forget it. Let's not make trouble for them, right? Biao'er, write a handwriting and ask these two bastards to arrange things over there. Then hurry up and give it to us. Come back!"
"You can avoid the death penalty in this case, but you cannot escape the punishment of living!"
"After the fourth child comes back, he will be imprisoned! Until the army sets off, let him go with the army."
"As for Chu Ze."
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who frowned when he mentioned Chu Ze, and he quickly added something aside.
"Father, if it's not as good as Chu Ze's, let me let my son handle the arrangements."
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
Then he turned his head and looked at the ward behind him.
"Inform the imperial doctor in the palace and the people in the Treasury Department to open the door to the treasury. No matter what it is, if it is definitely beneficial to the recovery of Tiande, just let us take it!"
"As long as it's good for Tiande's health, send it here to us."
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, Zhu Biao quickly nodded cautiously.
"Father, please rest assured, I will make arrangements for myself!"
"snort!"
After giving Zhu Biao a final cold glance, Lao Zhu snorted coldly and left with a puff of his sleeves.
Leave Chu Ze to Zhu Biao. You don't need to think about it. Zhu Biao must be given a lighter punishment.
After all, in principle, Chu Ze did nothing wrong in this matter.
It is almost inevitable that Zhu Biao will protect and favor Chu Ze.
Zhu Biao looked at the back of Zhu Yuanzhang who was leaving with some anger, and he also took a deep breath.
It would be best if his father would acquiesce in the matter of Chu Ze.
But looking at the current situation, it is probably necessary for Chu Ze and the others to hide outside for a few days.
Otherwise, if he comes back, his father will run into him alone.
Then it is estimated that neither Lao Si nor Chu Ze can get anything good.
"That's right! We almost forgot about it. Chu Ze was really too bold this time. If we don't teach him a lesson, he will only become more arrogant in the future. This kind of trend cannot be encouraged."
"We don't care how you deal with him, but there is one thing you must add! Remove this boy's official position in the Ministry of Rites and return him to the ninth rank."
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang had already reached the door, but he seemed to feel that he was leaving just like that, and he seemed a little angry.
Chu Ze, this bastard, makes mistakes many times, and he makes them again and again!
If he hadn't spoken, this little bastard might have thought that he, the emperor, really couldn't do anything to him.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it seemed necessary for him to do something.
However, among ordinary punishments and beatings, demotion, deduction of salary, etc. are the norm.
So Lao Zhu subconsciously proposed to eliminate Chu Ze's position.
However, when the words were almost finished, he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this.
Everyone else's goal in becoming an official is to get promoted and make a fortune, but this guy Chu Ze just had no choice but to do so.
What if his position is reduced and he is turned into a ninth-grade master~~
I’m afraid this kid could laugh out of his dreams!
It was really a punishment and a beating for him. This was obviously a reward for him!
No, that’s not cool!
You can't take advantage of this guy.
After reacting, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked back at Zhu Biao.
Then he said with a slight frown.
"What we just said doesn't count. This kid made a big mistake this time. We can't just let him get away with it."
"That's good! Let's come up with an idea. No matter how you punish him, there is one penalty: give this boy a promotion, increase his official rank to the fourth rank, and from now on, he will participate in court meetings as a rule."
"I would like to remind him that if he dares to be absent or late for court meetings in the future, then we will make him look good!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished describing his punishment in one breath, he suddenly felt relaxed in his heart.
Anyone who is familiar with Chu Ze knows that this kid has to sleep until the sun is dry every time.
I only went to the morning court once and fell asleep directly during the court meeting.
This time, hadn't he been resisting promotion and going to court?
OK!
Then we really don't want to let him get his wish.
From now on, he must be there for every morning court meeting, even if there is nothing wrong with him.
"Well, Your Highness, can this promotion be considered a punishment?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang left angrily, Lan Yu, who had previously been classified as an idler, dared to silently approach Zhu Biao.
Then, he asked Zhu Biao with a strange expression.
And Zhu Biao looked at his mother who was coaxing his father to leave and didn't forget to turn back and nod to him when he stepped onto the carriage.
The corners of his mouth also twitched slightly.
"Promotion is a reward for others. But for Chu Ze, it is estimated that this punishment from my father is more or less a blow to his spirit."
Chu Ze was not familiar with rules, and at the same time he didn't like to follow rules.
Let him go to the morning court in a disciplined manner every day, learn etiquette, and adapt to various unspoken rules and so on when going to court.
I guess this is not only a mental blow, but maybe also physical torture!
However, Zhu Biao looked at his father's extremely serious look just now and knew that his father specifically told him about this matter, which meant that there was basically no room for negotiation on this matter.
And it seems that his mother has agreed to this arrangement.
The biggest backers have already nodded.
Then Chu Ze said it softly this time, basically he was doomed.
"There is such a punishment. If I were..."
"Uncle, you'd better not think about it. This kind of punishment will probably only fall on Chu Ze. You'd better not try it."
When Zhu Biao said that promotion was actually a kind of punishment, Lan Yu couldn't help but feel a little moved.
However, his expression fell into Zhu Biao's eyes.
After giving Lan Yu a somewhat speechless look, Zhu Biao shook his head and walked outside.
You have to write a handwriting to Chu Ze first.
I don't know what this guy's reaction will be when he finds out about his father's arrangement.
"As expected of our son-in-law! When you do something wrong, you are so distinctive when you are punished. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Ruoyan! You and Chu Ze haven't planned to get married yet?"
"Hey...my dear, dear, don't leave! Dad is discussing something serious with you!"
"Daughter~ Hey, you can't stay in college! Now I can't even speak to you as a father!"
After Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace, he quickly set off from Yingtianfu Imperial City with a handwritten edict printed with the emperor's seal.
Under the galloping horse, His Majesty's handwriting was delivered directly to Hengyang City in less than two hours.
However, after the person who sent the letter found the current manager of Hengyang City, King Zhou Zhu, and explained his purpose to him.
He originally thought that when King Zhou heard that His Majesty had a decree, he would quickly find Chu Ze and King Yan to receive the decree.
What the other party didn't expect was.
When King Zhou heard that he was actually looking for Chu Ze and his fourth brother, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"What? His Royal Highness King Yan and Mr. Chu Ze had a bad stomach? Now they have diarrhea and fainted. Is it inconvenient to receive the order?"
"Well, to be honest, that's what the two of them said."
"."
Is that what they both said?
Didn't you just say that they had diarrhea and passed out immediately?
My Royal Highness the King of Zhou!
There was no enmity between us in the past and no enmity in recent times. Why do you treat me like a fool?
Although this is lame, it couldn't be more lame. The lie is bullshit.
But when he saw that King Zhou was also speechless, the messenger could only nod silently.
And expressed it implicitly to Zhu Xi.
I am still waiting to go back and recover, so I guess I can only allow His Highness King Yan and Mr. Chu Ze to faint for another hour at most.
