In the palace late at night, the atmosphere is exceptionally quiet.

Apart from the heavy footsteps of the sergeants patrolling the court, the only thing left was the occasional chirping of insects.

In the palace late at night, Chu Ze, who was originally asleep in the guest room of the East Palace, was directly tied up in his sleep.

Later, under the escort of a group of guards with swords and brocade clothes, they came to a quiet small hall.

When all the brocade guards withdrew, the lights gradually lit up in the originally dark hall.

Under the illumination of the lamp, Chu Ze could vaguely see that a tall figure was holding a candle at this time, lighting the surrounding candlesticks one by one.

He was forced to turn on, but he didn't have the slightest panic at this time.

Just silently watching the figure who was lighting the candlelight around him little by little.

"You're calm! The whole process neither struggled nor resisted.. How? Are you so afraid of dying? ”

When the figure lit the last candlestick, he blew out the candle in his hand.

When he turned around, he showed a face that was a little vicissitudes and twilight.

"Your Majesty... This is the Imperial Palace, those people dare to go to the East Palace to arrest people quietly, they don't have to think about it, they must be at your behest, since you want to see me, and you don't want the prince to know. ”

"Basically, you're either going to get rid of me, or you're going to talk to me alone. Either way, it doesn't matter to me. ”

"Resistance and struggle are useless, why bother!"

Chu Ze looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who turned to look at him, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and there was no trace of panic and concealment on his face.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he has no pressure at all now.

"To be honest, we really don't like you very much! People like you, it's too hard to control."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze, who was still a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and after slowly shaking his head, he went straight to the middle of the hall and sat down.

Then he raised his head and looked at Chu Ze who was standing opposite, and after hesitating slightly, he finally waved his hand at Chu Ze.

"Sit down. It's just the two of us today, and we want to talk to you about it. ”

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chu Ze didn't think much about it, and came directly to the opposite side of Zhu Yuanzhang, and then sat down with a big grin.

Then, under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, he actually picked up the teacup on the table by himself, and then poured the tea.

Seeing Chu Ze's actions, Lao Zhu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Chu Ze, this guy, behaved too casually in front of him.

casually to Lao Zhu has the illusion that he and the other party are just equals.

This feeling, Lao Zhu doesn't like it very much!

"Are you all so disrespectful in the generations to come?"

After watching Chu Ze pour a cup of tea, he actually put down the teapot in front of him, and drank it with the teacup on his own, without saying anything about pouring him a cup at all.

This move made Lao Zhu feel chest tightness for a while.

This kid...

"Your Majesty, we in future generations will emphasize that all men are created equal. Of course, although this is idealized, at least in the later generations, there is no such thing as a master and a servant! In a sense, everyone has equal power! ”

"Especially for ordinary people like me, we have more heart-to-heart exchanges than profits!"

"If you have to follow the rules and abide by the terms in all aspects, then the person will be very tired to live!"

"Life is already hard, so why put shackles on yourself again? Do whatever you want, live as you like! That's life, isn't it? ”

Chu Ze naturally knew what Lao Zhu meant.

He raised the teacup in his hand, smiled slightly, and drank it all.

And after Lao Zhu saw him say this, he didn't say anything more.

Just silently poured himself a cup of tea.

"You kid... Can you tell me about our sister? She.. How long does she have left? ”

Today's entanglement with Queen Ma made Lao Zhu's originally rotten heart feel scared again.

In particular, the pain that was about to be lost made his heart ache the most.

He lost his parents and many siblings at a young age.

This made him hate corrupt officials very much!

After that, he gradually learned to be cold-blooded, and learned to grab and fight!

In the end, with the support of that tenacious will, he came to this day.

But even if he is now the emperor, he holds the power of life and death of others in his hands!

He had thought he wouldn't lose anything more.

But in the past few days, he has received bad news one after another.

Especially this time his sister-in-law's matter, it was intuitive and appropriate for him to feel what he was gradually losing!

His sister-in-law, his grandson, his son.

These members of his family...

Lao Zhu was scared, so he finally found Chu Ze tonight.

"Your Majesty, I knew you would definitely ask about this..."

After hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang finally asked about Queen Ma, Chu Ze only shook his head and sighed.

Then, silently poured himself another cup of tea.

In the historical evaluation, Queen Ma is called one of the four great sages and queens of history. Its name is eternal.."

"She can be said to be the most appropriate queen to show the four words of the mother's world, Your Majesty, you are iron-blooded to kill, and you often have to kill courtiers because of some trivial things. It was Queen Ma who kept these people alive again and again. ”

From the perspective of later generations, this is actually a manifestation of exhaustion. The first thing your impulsiveness and anger will affect is the people around you. ”

"Think about it, Prince Zhu Biao, obviously has the appearance of a virtuous king, why did he die early?"

"Because he has a sense of responsibility in his heart! He will count the deaths of those good ministers who were killed by you for no reason, and think that he failed to protect them and was his own incompetence. ”

"You gave him responsibility, but you didn't give him the ability to take responsibility!"

"So step by step, he is destroyed by the pressure and self-blame you exert."

"And Queen Ma is the same. Even the responsibilities she has to bear are more and heavier than those of the crown prince! ”

"She's a good person, she has a conscience, she blames herself, she feels pain... Whether it is in later medicine or in current medicine, there is such a saying that if a person is in a state of high stress for a long time, then the body will inevitably suffer losses! ”

"Your original intention is good, but it doesn't mean that you are right!"

"Before Queen Ma died of illness, she left a story. She knew that she was dying, and she refused to be healed by the imperial doctors, because she knew that if they did not cure her, they would all die at your hands. ”

"A person who is still thinking about others before he dies, Your Majesty, what do you think every unprovoked killing you will bring her?"

After Chu Ze's words were finished, he silently poured a cup of tea again, and then drank it all!

He felt that if he didn't drink it again, he probably wouldn't be able to drink it in the future...

An extra drink is a cup!
