Chapter 25: Throwing stones on the surface of the lake, waves in the world!
As the morning sun shines down, a new day begins.
This night, Chu Ze slept very peacefully.
Ever since he found out that he had crossed over and came to the Hongwu period, he hadn't slept peacefully for a day.
Although he is not a treasure of the history of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Ze also knows some things about the Ming Dynasty.
When it comes to the Ming Dynasty, many people may not necessarily know who the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are and what achievements they have.
But if you mention the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty, most people must have heard of it.
Embroidered spring knife, flying fish costume, brocade night walk, imperial license.
For an almost pervasive and ubiquitous organization like Jinyiwei, Chu Ze was naturally very impressed.
It can be said that since the crossing, he has an inexplicable depression in his heart every day.
And this kind of repression was completely released at once when I met with Emperor Hongwu in the imperial study yesterday.
After this night, Chu Ze can be said to be asleep, but he still has a smile on his face.
Under this extreme physical and mental relaxation, Chu Ze slept until he was exposed to the sun before waking up quietly.
"Is this the unpretentious life of ancient times? No wonder there were so many faint kings in ancient times! ”
After revealing his identity last night, Chu Ze at this time can be said to be no longer what it used to be.
Although he knew very well in his heart that he could still be guillotined at any time.
But at this time, as long as there is one day, and Lao Zhu has not made up his mind to kill him, then his life should be very good.
Because of the hurried itinerary yesterday, Chu Ze was directly arranged to live in the prince's east palace temporarily.
So when he just got up this morning, he was also stained with the light of the prince and enjoyed the treatment of a master.
Three or four maids from the East Palace waited for him to dress and wash, and then there was a breakfast that was not very luxurious, but it was absolutely fulfilling.
During the whole process, there were several good-looking palace maids waiting on the side.
If it weren't for the twenty or thirty guards with long knives hanging on their waists outside the guest room outside the guest room, it is estimated that Chu Ze would have eaten two more bowls when he ate.
Chu Ze slept comfortably this night, but because of his appearance, some people's lives were not so easy.
"What is Chu Ze doing?"
"Back to the prince, Mr. Chu Ze has just had breakfast and is resting in the room!"
"yes, got it."
...
Outside the guest room where Chu Ze was, after Zhu Biao's tired voices sounded, it didn't take long for others to appear in Chu Ze's sight.
Chu Ze, who was slumped in the chair eating the fruit after the meal, saw the figure of the prince Zhu Biao appear at the door, and he also hurriedly stood up from the chair.
"The prince is here!"
"Well, just came back from retreat."
Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze, who stood up and greeted him, and the look on his face was somewhat complicated.
"Why don't you go outside?"
"Okay! I'm okay with that! ”
After hearing Zhu Biao's proposal, Chu Ze agreed directly without thinking about it.
After yesterday's incident, he is now staying in the East Palace.
But in reality, it's just being watched and imprisoned.
Now that he has revealed his identity as a traverser, if everything he said before is true, then he is likely to become Zhu Yuanzhang's key care object in the future.
After all, a person who can predict the future to some extent, and who has no foundation in the future.
Lao Zhu can completely trap him.
And if what he said before was a lie, let alone that.
Shut it up first, and wait to take it to the heavens at any time.
So from the moment Chu Ze revealed that he had crossed over, no matter whether what he said was true or false, he was destined to lose a certain amount of freedom.
It's like staying in the prince's east palace now, and the people around him will try their best to satisfy him with what he wants to eat and drink.
Even going to the toilet will bring him a potty.
But he was not allowed to go out.
Now that Zhu Biao invited him to go out for a walk, Chu Ze was naturally very happy.
After all, it's boring to be grounded in this small room all the time.
Although the East Palace is not large, and it also belongs to the scope of the Imperial Palace, it is very interesting that the Prince's East Palace is basically equivalent to a miniature version of the Imperial Palace.
Although the sparrow is small, it can be said that it has all kinds of organs.
With the crown prince Zhu Biao by his side, Chu Ze naturally no one stopped him wherever he went.
When he came to a lotus pond and looked at the fish looming in the water, Chu Ze threw a stone down with his hand, and the frightened fish in the water scattered and fled.
And when the stone fell, ripples spread over the calm waters of the pond.
Looking at the ripples that were getting bigger and bigger, Chu Ze leaned on the railing a little lazily, looking at the ripples in the water, and his vision couldn't help but be a little sluggish.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you feel anything when you look at the water in this pool?"
Although Zhu Biao invited Chu Ze to come out for a walk, the main reason was to continue to talk to him, but after walking all the way, he didn't know how to speak appropriately.
Now that Chu Ze took the initiative to speak and picked up the topic, Zhu Biao naturally followed his words and turned his gaze to the water surface of the pond.
It's just that Zhu Biao, who can't say that his mentality is calm at this time, where does he have this kind of mind to discuss some philosophical things with Chu Ze.
Just a casual glance, Zhu Biao turned his head to look at Chu Zedao.
"Isn't this just an ordinary pool of water, how do you feel?"
After Chu Ze heard Zhu Biao say this, he threw a stone into the water again.
"Your Highness, don't you think that the scene at this time is as similar as you and I are now?"
"Your original life is like this pool of water, calm and peaceful. If there is no external object to disturb him, he will spend his time in peace from beginning to end as time goes by. ”
"But I am like the stone that was thrown down, although compared to the water in this pool, a small pebble seems so inconspicuous."
"But when I throw myself into this pool, the waves will gradually spread and cover the entire surface of the water."
"Although it is said that after the waves, the water surface will still return to calm, but after the waves sweep away, is the water surface still the original water surface?"
“...”
Zhu Biao listened to Chu Ze's unhurried words, and his expression changed slightly.
Because he had already heard the meaning of Chu Ze's words at this time.
If Chu Ze is really a person from the afterlife, then the future they originally arranged may be changed because of the waves stirred up by Chu Ze, the 'stone' who was suddenly thrown into the water.
And when this change happens, it will be irreversible and unpredictable.
But no matter who it is, it is impossible to say whether this change is right or wrong.
It's anyone's guess what direction it will change in the future.
