"Son-in-law! Son-in-law. Son-in-law, you are back! Are you okay? Let my father-in-law take a look. Is Your Majesty giving you a hard time?"
early morning,
As soon as Chu Ze got dressed, before he had time to have breakfast, a figure hurried in.
When he saw the person coming, Chu Ze silently asked Chun Equinox beside him to prepare another set of bowls and chopsticks.
"Father-in-law, you don't have to be so anxious. If Your Majesty makes things difficult for me, I can still sit and have breakfast now."
Chu Ze looked at Lan Yu who wanted to pounce on him as soon as he entered the door, although he wanted to reach out to stop him.
But the strength gap between the two is really too big.
He stretched out his hand to stop Lan Yu's hand, but Lan Yu grabbed it directly.
With a quick lift, Chu Ze was lifted up from the chair as if he were carrying a chicken.
Although Chu Ze said it was okay, the nervous Lan Yu couldn't believe what he said at this time!
He directly picked up Chu Ze and looked around.
He even wanted to reach out and touch some obscure places.
I wanted to see if he had been whipped or anything.
This action shocked Chu Ze.
He quickly broke away from Lan Yu's restraints and took two steps back.
"Father-in-law! I'm really fine. Look, I can run and jump. But what, I heard from the prince yesterday that you were injured while riding a horse... You don't look like you fell?"
"Hey! Why did I fall! Your father-in-law and I almost grew up on horses. How could I really fall? Is something wrong? I feel like something is not right."
"You weren't here at the time. Father-in-law, I wanted to find someone to ask what to do, but I didn't know where to start. I just asked the servants to say that I broke my leg, and then closed the door and thanked the guests."
"Didn't you say it! As long as it's something I can't figure out myself, then everything will be handled according to the principle of, I don't know, I don't understand."
"Didn't I rush over to you to find a solution as soon as I heard you were back?"
Sure enough, after Chu Ze broke free from his restraints, moved his hands and feet flexibly, and jumped twice.
Lan Yu felt slightly relieved when she saw that he didn't seem to be injured.
Then he looked at the bowls, chopsticks and rice porridge placed on the table during the Spring Equinox.
Without thinking, Lan Yu directly picked up the bowl, filled a large bowl for herself, and quickly dug some fine salt into the small salt pot on the side and sprinkled it into the bowl.
He moves so skillfully that he feels like he is at home.
"Father-in-law, you did a good job this time. If you don't understand something, just don't get involved. This time there will be a big problem."
Chu Ze watched Lan Yu eat it first and then sat down silently.
As soon as the two of them sat down, a limping figure walked in with the help of a servant.
When they saw the man, Chu Ze and Lan Yu, who were eating, couldn't help but put down their bowls and chopsticks, stood up and greeted him.
"Brother Chu Ze, Your Majesty didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
As soon as Xu Da sat down, he couldn't wait to ask Lan Yu what he had asked before.
He knew very well that Chu Ze's escape was entirely caused by him, Xu Da.
Although His Majesty promised not to embarrass Chu Ze at that time, based on Xu Da's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, you can just listen to what His Majesty said in that situation.
The degree of embarrassment or not is up to His Majesty himself.
I'll give you a beating, and then say that I originally wanted to kill you, but Xu Da begged me not to embarrass you, and we agreed. So, I won't embarrass you, just break your legs.
In Xu Da's opinion, the possibility of such a thing happening is very high.
So after getting up early this morning, when he heard that Chu Ze had returned home, he ran over to ask about the situation as soon as possible.
Although, if Chu Ze was really beaten, his visit here seemed to be unable to solve anything.
But I have to come over and ask anyway!
"It's okay, it's okay. I have my godmother protecting me behind me, and there's a guardian beside me... If His Majesty really wants to beat me, I will run away."
Looking at Xu Da, who looked a little pale but looked extremely worried, Chu Ze chuckled.
He waved his hand very disapprovingly.
After Xu Da saw the calm look on Chu Ze's face, his brows finally relaxed.
"You know, just run away! I'm afraid that you will stand stupidly and be beaten by His Majesty. I tell you, if you just make His Majesty angry on weekdays, you should run towards the Queen and ask the Crown Prince to stop you. Be careful."
"Although His Majesty has a bad temper, if it's not a big deal, as long as you find the Queen, it will basically be fine."
"Ahem. Father-in-law, if my father heard what you said, he would probably curse you."
Xu Da had just made some jokes about Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Di's slightly embarrassed voice rang out from the direction of the main entrance of the hall.
Looking at Zhu Di who also ran over early in the morning, Chu Ze frowned slightly.
Although this guy often runs to his home on weekdays, he usually comes alone.
But today, he brought someone with him.
"Almsgiver! The poor monk is polite!"
"There's no need to make these empty porridges. There is white porridge here, without adding meat or fish. You might as well come over and eat some together."
Although Chu Ze was slightly surprised by Yao Guangxiao who came to the door with Zhu Di today, he didn't take it too seriously.
After waving his hand and asking the other party to come and sit together, Chu Ze also asked Chun Equinox to bring some more bowls and chopsticks.
"I didn't expect your place to be quite lively."
Xu Da looked at Zhu Di who came to the door and looked at Lan Yu sitting opposite him.
For a moment, he felt inexplicably emotional.
He didn't think much of it before, but now in Xu Da's view, those who can get through Chuze's gate are not simple people!
In the past, people who would try their best to avoid interacting with each other seemed to have become more frequent since Chu Ze had this strange point.
"Chu Ze, you haven't thought about it. Your house is open every day. If this continues, will it cause rumors?"
Although Chu Ze said that most people knew that he was a member of the prince's party.
However, in fact, relatively speaking, the time that Chu Ze has been in contact with the prince is not as long as the time spent with the princes.
Among them, especially the second prince Zhu Xi and the fourth prince Zhu Di. They are very close.
But now Chu Ze has established diplomatic relations with Xu Da himself, and his father-in-law is still Lan Yu.
There seemed to be people like Li Wenzhong, Fu Youde, etc. mixed in among them.
It seems that Chu Ze has had frequent contact with the general group and the princes.
"Shuai Xu, you are worried that I, the princes, and the generals will get too close to each other and attract criticism, right?"
"Hey, there's no need to worry about these things."
"I, Chu Ze, are not only close to the generals and princes, but I am also the prince's best friend now. I am the teacher of the emperor's grandson."
"Basically all the generals who can fight against Ming Dynasty now and in the future have had friendship with me."
"As for Wen Chen, if I am willing, I can bring up a few reliable people at any time."
"To put it bluntly, I will definitely be the most powerful official in the future Ming Dynasty!"
"."
Xu Da saw that Chu Ze, instead of worrying about this matter, actually pointed at himself as if showing off.
The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly at this time.
Among the people present, apart from Lan Yu who couldn't figure out the meaning of this identity, there was probably no one else who didn't understand it, right?
But Chu Ze still said it so casually at this time
"Xu Shuai is at peace! I am now the most powerful minister, whether I want it or not, it is basically fixed. Your Majesty knows this very well, and so does the Crown Prince."
"For me, it doesn't matter what the outcome is. Yu Shaobao once said that if you live one life, you have to fight for hundreds of lives. My current situation is similar to what he said."
"As long as my ideas and knowledge can be passed on, and the future can go in the direction I want, it doesn't really matter what I am like."
The first official!
It sounds like the scenery is incomparable and invincible.
But actually?
This is an extremely embarrassing position. You are weaker than the imperial power and stronger than the ministers!
How could there be a place to settle down in the cracks?
"Ahem...Chu Ze! Isn't the Yu Shaobao you are talking about the same as Yu Shaobao?"
When Chu Ze spoke these words very frankly, Yao Guangxiao, brought by Xu Da and Zhu Di, didn't know how to answer the question for a while.
Because they also know that based on Chu Ze's current position, what he said can be regarded as the solid truth.
Whether he should be the most powerful official or not is beyond his control.
As for the outcome, who knows what the future will bring?
Zhu Di's focus at this time was not on Chu Ze.
In other words, he didn't care at all about what Xu Da and the others said.
Whatever the future should be, so be it.
On the contrary, he was more curious about Shaobao.
"Don't mention it. Otherwise, if the news reaches your father's ears, he will be upset and beat you up."
"Why do I feel like everyone is targeting me?"
Regarding Chu Ze's advice, Zhu Di felt depressed for a while.
Why is it that among the brothers, at the end of the day, he is the one who has the most trouble?
If someone rebels and becomes emperor, he will be beaten. Zhu Qizhen will beat him.
What I said yesterday about the Ming Emperor dissolving in water, I still have to beat him up.
Why is he always the unlucky one?
"Haha, you are basically responsible for everything that happened next. If not you, who would you be looking for? What do you think, Yongle?"
"By the way, Xu Shuai is also half responsible. After all, half of what happens next is yours, Xu Shuai. Your Miaoyun"
"Ahem, cough, stop, stop! I'm just a minister, and if I don't involve these things, I'd better be merciful, little brother. If His Majesty realizes this, I probably won't be able to hold my head up in front of him until I die. Already."
Xu Da naturally knew what Chu Ze was going to say.
After Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, all subsequent emperors of the Ming Dynasty had blood from their Xu family.
If this is the case, then I have to go home and look up the family tree.
