"Today, I am going to the court to see my father feeling unwell. I, the Crown Prince, will take care of it on my behalf! If you have something to do, please leave the court!"
On the court hall, Zhu Biao, who was dressed in formal attire, looked helplessly at the ministers in front of him.
Looking at Prince Zhu Biao standing in front of the throne, the officials were also filled with astonishment.
Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?
What a liar!
Yesterday they saw His Majesty's body and bones. Some people believed you when you said you could kill a cow with one punch.
At the court meeting, he feels unwell?
However, after the brief shock, the officials all reacted.
Your Majesty has already begun to make thorough plans to put the prince in power!
Nowadays, the prince has begun to act as an agent in the early dynasties.
What else is there to say?
And all the ministers knew clearly that although the person standing in front of the throne was only Prince Zhu Biao.
But who knows, their Majesty is hiding in a dark corner, watching their every move.
If it were any other emperor, he might not be able to do such a thing.
However, according to the words of the current Holy One, he can really do such a thing.
"Prince, I have something to report!"
"Speaking."
Although Zhu Biao knew very well that his father now only wanted him to take over the power.
Even if he were in this hall at this moment, sitting directly on the dragon chair that symbolized imperial power, no one would raise any objections.
But Zhu Biao did not do this.
It was his bottom line not to go too far.
Therefore, while he was speaking, the chamberlain beside him had already brought a small chair. At Zhu Biao's signal, the chair and the bookcase were placed in front of the steps below the throne.
One level below the imperial power, but one level above the ministers.
After seeing the prince's arrangement, the ministers could not help but lower their heads silently.
No one would stand up and make themselves uncomfortable at this time.
This is obviously the emperor's father and son's humility, so you talk too much at this time. Apart from making you feel uncomfortable, there is no benefit.
After Zhu Biao sat down, a courtier in blue official uniform also took a step forward, his movements were no different from when he usually paid homage to the emperor.
Although the person sitting in front of him was the prince, there were still rules that should be followed.
"Prince, I want to impeach Chu Ze, the commander of the Imperial Guard!"
"."
Zhu Biao, who had just sat down, didn't even have time to tidy up his clothes when he suddenly heard that someone wanted to impeach Chu Ze. . .
At this time, behind the screen behind the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting facelessly on the throne behind the dragon chair.
When I heard someone in the hall proposed impeaching Chu Ze.
Zhu Yuanzhang almost laughed out loud.
It was originally proposed to remove Jinyi, but due to Chu Ze's sudden promotion, he fell into a state of cold treatment for a while.
However, today, the Jin Yiwei incident finally broke out again.
Hearing Zhu Biao's inquiry in the court and the various crimes of Chu Ze listed by the ministers.
Zhu Yuanzhang just leaned against the screen behind him silently.
What he has to do today is to ask Zhu Biao to face many ministers alone.
Let him get used to and adapt to being an emperor.
While not putting too much pressure on Zhu Biao, it also allowed him to gradually take power and make decisions step by step.
In the future, Zhu Yuanzhang will spend his main energy on cultivating the emperor's grandson.
Above the court, Zhu Biao listened to the various crimes of Chu Ze listed by the officials below.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly for a moment.
Beating envoys from other countries, collecting bribes, occupying houses privately, and keeping foreign women in captivity
In addition to this, there are other things like instigating the prince, forming secret factions, and being lax in his duties.
It can be said that it doesn't matter whether it is there or not, anyway, buckle it on him first.
And this time, it was not just one or two people who stood up to impeach Chu Ze or accuse Jin Yiwei.
After Zhu Biao listened to the noise in his ears, he subconsciously looked at Hu Weiyong who was standing in the first row.
Zhu Biao knew that Chu Ze and Hu Weiyong had been interacting with each other.
And judging from Chu Ze's appearance, Hu Weiyong seemed to be fooled by him.
However, when Zhu Biao looked at Hu Weiyong, he discovered that Hu Weiyong's eyes were slightly closed at this time, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
Faced with the aggressive words of the ministers towards Chu Ze, he directly chose to ignore them at this time.
It seemed that everything around him had nothing to do with him.
'Among those who pointed the finger at Chu Ze, many were Hu Weiyong's disciples. It seemed that these people were somewhat under his orders. So, does Chu Ze and him have a falling out? '
Zhu Biao looked at Hu Weiyong, who had no intention of speaking at all. He raised his hand slightly, interrupting the words of the ministers below.
"According to the laws of this court, since someone has proposed impeachment, then people from both sides should naturally confront each other in court."
"Come here, go and summon Commander Chu."
Although Zhu Biao's voice was not loud, after he spoke, the hall suddenly became quiet.
After receiving the order, the imperial eunuch immediately got up and headed to Chu Ze's mansion.
At this time, at Chu Ze’s home.
After returning yesterday, a group of people were having a barbecue and chatting in their front yard.
Because he thought that Zhu Di and others would soon go on an expedition, he, who never drank alcohol, made an exception and had a drink last night.
However, when it comes to drinking, there are often only zero cups or countless cups.
Under the urging of his over-enthusiastic father-in-law, Chu Ze himself didn't even remember how many drinks he had.
Anyway, the only thing he remembered was that he felt really dizzy at the end.
So, he simply fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, he could still vaguely hear the ridicule of Zhu Di and others in his ears.
As he slept in a daze, he felt the tip of his nose itching.
Then, it felt like an earthquake, and someone was shaking me desperately.
After Chu Ze opened his still hazy sleepy eyes.
What appeared in front of him was a small and cute face.
"Brother Chu Ze, wake up! Someone is coming from the palace, saying they want to summon you to go to court to discuss matters!"
"Please stop falling asleep, okay?"
Lan Ruoyan looked at Chu Ze who couldn't wake up, and a look of anxiety appeared on her bright red face.
"Brother Chu Ze, you are pressing down on my skirt!"
"Can you get up quickly?"
Helpless Lan Ruoyan could only continue to shake Chu Ze's arm at this time.
In front of their bed, Bailu was smiling at Lan Ruoyan, who was sitting on the bed with a helpless expression.
"Mother, let us do it."
"All right."
After hearing Lan Ruoyan's somewhat helpless tone, Bailu and Chunqu each came to the bed carrying a basin of ice water and a towel.
After the two of them gently wiped Chu Ze's face with a towel soaked in water, Chu Ze, who was still sleeping in a daze, shivered inexplicably.
Then, the person finally opened his eyes in a daze.
"Why are you calling me? You can't just let me sleep a little longer!"
"Master, just now Dongshuang took a look at the eunuch who came to deliver the order, saying that someone was impeaching you in the main hall. His Royal Highness asked you to come over quickly."
"At this time, there is already a commotion in the main hall."
"What? Someone is impeaching me in the main hall?"
Chu Ze, who was still a little dazed at first, suddenly became energetic when he heard the good news that someone actually reported him directly to the court meeting.
Chu Ze stretched out his hand and pulled it to the side, trying to support Chu Ze to lean against the wall. When he stretched out his hand, he suddenly felt as if he had touched something soft.
Subconsciously, he also squeezed it gently.
And his brows wrinkled at the same time.
There's something wrong with this feeling!
"Ah, Brother Chuze, you are causing trouble!"
"oops"
"Master, master, are you okay?"
"Ouch, mistress, you've been too harsh! My appearance has been shattered!"
"Ah! Brother Chu Ze, I didn't mean it!"
"Ah Ruoyan, you stepped on my hand."
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it!"
Get up and change clothes.
For these things, Chu Ze is now completely used to having people around him to serve him.
The only thing that was unusual today was that when they were changing their clothes at the Spring Equinox, the egret had to keep holding a shelled egg to rub his eye sockets.
There is a huge dark circle under the eye, and it seems that the swelling will not go away in a short time.
The culprit who caused all this was hiding on Chu Ze's bed in embarrassment and covering his head with the quilt in shame.
"Egret. She..."
After changing his clothes, Chu Ze looked at Lan Ruoyan, who was still pretending to be an ostrich under the quilt. After he quickly left the room with the egret, he pointed to the room with a strange expression.
After the obedient Egret looked back at the open door, she turned to Chu Ze with a smile and explained.
"This is Master Lan's arrangement. Yesterday, after Mistress and us sent Master back to your room, Mistress was ordered by Master Lan to stay here to take care of you."
"After that, we slept together in the same bed. You hugged your mistress and slept all night."
"Uh, that one, in the middle."
Although Chu Ze had already expected this answer.
But that's not what he cares about now.
What he cares about is whether there is any substantial progress in the middle?
"Don't worry, sir. After you got drunk yesterday, you didn't move all night. And the mistress and you slept in the same clothes."
"That's good, that's good!"
After hearing Bailu's explanation, Chu Ze finally felt relieved.
However, when he came to the front hall and saw the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time.
This is not the first time the two have met.
But when the eunuch who ordered the order saw Chu Ze, he was stunned on the spot.
"Master Commander, don't you worry about your eyes?"
"It's okay. I was teasing the cat just now and was accidentally slapped by the cat's paw."
"Well"
