Hu Weiyong said that he would do it, but he did not directly go to Zhu Yuanzhang to say this.
He had sent people to Zhu Yuanzhang before. Although everyone said nothing, they had some guesses about his intentions.
Now it happened again.
He absolutely cannot show up in person anymore.
But it's still okay to plan for them secretly.
As for what others would think, Hu Weiyong didn't really care. Anyway, no matter how much they speculate, there is no direct evidence.
As long as there is no evidence, these things have nothing to do with him.
With this idea in mind, Hu Weiyong hinted at his subordinates and made a fuss about Chu Ze plagiarizing other people's work.
Not to mention the court, even the people know about it.
When Chu Ze was reminded by Lan Yu, the corner of his mouth curled up and he said: "What are you afraid of? If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows. Are they plagiarizing just because they say they are plagiarizing? Just because they look similar, or are they both called telescopes?"
Don't talk nonsense without evidence.
However, these people acted very quickly, so it was not in vain that he deliberately released the news of his plagiarism.
Now, he just waits for the emperor to summon him.
Chu Ze happily continued to check the homework of Lan Yi and the others.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew about this.
When he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "The things they invented can't even catch up to Chu Ze's half, so they have the nerve to shout here? They are jumping up and down now, without any benefit to their own interests. If not, reward them with something to make them feel more at ease, and then keep up the good work."
Anyone with any brains should know how to restrain themselves by now.
But the group of people in front of them obviously did not have this awareness.
They were previously unpopular people among the people.
Scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants, they are not even as good as merchants.
At best, it's low-level.
After being found by Hu Weiyong, he soared into the sky and turned into a phoenix.
Their minds also continued to expand during this time.
Looking at what Zhu Yuanzhang sent, they actually thought it was encouragement.
The emperor must have disliked Chu Zeshang, so he sent these to them just to make them continue to cause trouble.
Maybe, the emperor also wants to kill Chu Ze.
Then they will be able to move to the next level.
Lao Zhou was not so optimistic.
"Old Chen, we have heard Chu Ze's name before. Now that we have entered the palace, we have heard it more often. Can we really speak against him?" He was afraid that they hadn't brought him down yet, and in the end he would Fell first.
When Lao Chen heard this, he knew that Lao Zhou's old habit had happened again.
He patted Lao Zhou on the shoulder sincerely and sighed: "Old Zhou, what are you afraid of? Even Mr. Hu said it was Chu Ze's fault. Now that the emperor has sent something again, it means that the emperor He is also on our side, and with the Emperor supporting us, what are you afraid of?"
"But……"
"There's nothing good to do. Let's settle this matter. We've already made arrangements. We'll go meet the emperor tomorrow."
…
The next day, Lao Chen led a group of people and asked to see Zhu Yuanzhang.
Under normal circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang would really have no interest in meeting them. But at this juncture, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and decided to meet him.
Especially when He gives things with the front foot, these people come to Him with the hind foot.
It just so happened that he could also take this opportunity to beat them.
"Xuan."
Not long after the chamberlain left, Lao Chen and others were brought in.
These people had only been in Yingtian for a short time, and together with this time, they had met Zhu Yuanzhang three times in total.
It would be a lie to say that I am not reserved.
They hunched their necks and lowered their heads, and moved to kneel down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "Common people, please see the emperor, please see His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty is safe, Your Highness is safe."
I learned these rules well.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyelids and looked at them, saying, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Your Majesty, the common people want to ask the Emperor to make decisions for the common people." Among this group of people, Lao Chen is the most active in mind and the most eloquent.
Times like this are the stage for Lao Chen to perform.
After Lao Chen spoke, other people could just follow suit.
Zhu Yuanzhang said obligingly: "Who is the master? Please tell me in detail."
Lao Chen immediately told Chu Ze about plagiarizing their works.
He said it so much that he burst into tears, and some people thought that Chu Ze had done something unjust.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly when he heard this.
"So you are saying that Mr. Chu has stolen your work, and you want me to punish him?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lao Chen and others and asked calmly.
Lao Chen: "Exactly."
"You just said that Mr. Chu plagiarized your work, but why didn't I find out?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes gradually became sharp. He raised his hand and took out a telescope, and then took out the telescope made by Chu Ze and said: "Take a look for yourselves and see what's the difference between you."
He gave these people things to appease them.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't know right from wrong.
The things Chu Ze made were much better than their crude ones!
And even the uses are completely different.
Just like that, you still have the nerve to compete with others?
That is to say, he thought these people were still useful, so he didn't drive them away.
Otherwise, he would have been dealt with long ago, and he would not have let them dance in front of him.
The waiter handed the things to them, and Lao Chen and others took the two items. After just one glance, they began to feel unhappy.
Chu Ze's stuff is better than theirs, but it's also made based on their principles. Doesn't that explain the problem?
"emperor……"
"Your Majesty, we heard that someone was slandering us. We came here specifically to confront him and see what we had done and who we had offended." Chu Ze swaggered into the imperial study and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze and took the initiative to tell what happened just now.
Chu Ze's face showed a look of sudden realization.
"So this is ah."
"Are you Chu Ze?" When Old Chen saw Chu Ze coming forward, he immediately stood up, pointed at Chu Ze and said, "You plagiarized our works, how do you explain this?!"
"Yes, we are in front of the emperor now. If you can't give us a reasonable explanation, we will never end it with you!"
"Tell me, what are you thinking about?"
The questions were asked one after another, making Chu Ze's head hurt.
"Come on, let's talk about it one by one. Are you so anxious?" Chu Ze said in disgust, "As for the plagiarism you are talking about, do we need to plagiarize your stuff?" It's just a small telescope. In modern times, There is a lot of information online.
He could always find a lot of them if he wanted to.
He knew all those principles, why did he need to plagiarize them?
Chu Ze rolled his eyes rudely and said, "We can even make one that adjusts the focus. I really haven't taken a liking to your crude telescopes with just a few lenses."
