After saying goodbye, Zhu Di, Zhu Hu, and Zhu Zhen all left one after another.

With the gradual inoculation of cowpox, the war seems to be on the horizon.

Naturally, they had to go back and get ready.

After all, this was the first time the two of them had fought with the army.

This is an experience, but whether it is Zhu Di or Zhu Zhen, it is very clear that they are not going to get military exploits this time, nor are they going to gild.

It's about learning how to destroy the enemy on the battlefield in the future, and at the same time make sure that your own people can survive as much as possible.

War together is a monstrous flood.

If you are not careful, there will be no bones.

So this time, as the war drew closer, they all felt a sense of urgency.

As for Zhu Hu, his ambition is not on the battlefield, he is a man who wants to inspire him to ascend to the position of a saint.

Life is short for decades, and he can't afford to rest too much.

"Hey, seeing my brothers so busy, look at yourself again.. I felt a little ashamed in a trance! ”

After the three younger brothers left, Zhu Zhang, the only Qin King who was left, looked at the empty dining table for a while, and he was inexplicably a little emotional.

They are all princes, and he is also the second brother of everyone.

However, his second brother is still guilty now.

Seeing that my younger brothers are busy with their own things on their hands, and I am like a waste.

This feeling

"Actually, you don't need to feel these things, anyway, if I don't show up, your reputation in the official history will not be much better."

"Think about it, as the son of your father, you were poisoned by a few old women, and instead of feeling angry, the person whose father attaches so much importance to family affection scolds you for deserving it!"

"In all fairness, you have to do a lot of bastard things to make your father angry like this?"

"So don't be busy thinking that you're a waste at this point, maybe later. You'll be more rubbish than you are now. ”

“.”

Regarding Zhu Fan's emotion, Chu Ze not only did not comfort him, but added fuel to his fire.

To be honest, people like Zhu Fan have begun to learn bad and grew up with a golden soup spoon.

It doesn't have much effect on you to comfort him, so it's better to scold him than to comfort him.

Of course, after scolding, you still have to give a little affirmation.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just telling the truth. This life is very long, and at the same time very short. ”

"Do you look back at the past as it was yesterday?"

"Your momentary indulgence in fun, although it makes you feel happy at the time, and after you feel stimulated, right? Happiness that is empty on the surface is empty after all. ”

"For the time being, you can take good care of the testing ground, and when you really grow up and mature, your father will also look at you differently."

"It's not the respectable who is capable of it, but the people only respect the capable."

Chu Ze said, reached out and patted Zhu Zhang's shoulder.

Then he slowly stood up from his position.

"I'm going to the Ministry of Rites to report on my work, are you going?"

"Go!"

"Alright, let's go."

On the carriage, Zhu Fan kept his head down, and his expression was somewhat dark.

He compared himself to bullying men and women when he was in the country, although he was indeed very happy at that time.

But after the joy, what is left is only emptiness.

When you are alone, in addition to where you want to play, what bad things to do, and satisfy the guilt in your heart.

I really just can't think of anything.

However, now in Yingtianfu, every day is very busy, busy discovering and recruiting talents from all walks of life, busy preparing and scheduling materials.

Busy accepting test results, busy sorting out the data of those experiments, and so on.

Although he is very busy, sometimes the busy Zhu Fan is eager to split into two to use.

However, it seems that I have never felt empty.

Every day is very fulfilling, and every time the experiment is successful, he will be happy from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe as Chu Ze said, the reason why he gradually became bad before was simply because of the pain of idle eggs!

"I said, why are you bored all the way?"

"Huh? No, no, I'm just wondering if I should expand the proving ground in the future."

"This must be expanded, and the classification must be clearer, and strive to make those talents in the test site specialized in one category in the future. Experiments in various areas can also be separated later. For example, agricultural and military. ”

"These get together, disturb each other, and may affect each other's experiments."

"After a long time, it naturally won't work."

As Chu Ze spoke, the carriage finally stopped.

The voice of the coachman was also heard outside the carriage.

"Master, the palace gate has arrived, and the rest of the road can't be driven."

"Okay, got it."

After Chu Ze replied, he got up directly and walked out of the carriage.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, his brow furrowed slightly.

So everything around has not changed, it is still the familiar palace gate, but Chu Ze has a clear feeling...

Today, for some reason, the entire palace is filled with an aura of slaughter from top to bottom.

This kind of serious and depressing atmosphere made Chu Ze feel extremely uncomfortable.

When Zhu Fan jumped down from the carriage, he looked at Chu Ze who was stunned in place, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? ”

In the face of Zhu Fan's inquiry, Chu Ze didn't say anything, just shook his head silently, and then raised his feet and walked towards the palace gate.

"By the way, will you still go to the court to participate in the court meeting now?"

On the way to the Ministry of Rites to report, Chu Ze looked at Zhu Fan who was walking on the side, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Zhu Fan is the king of Qin and the second prince of the Ming Dynasty.

He is in this capacity. There should be a place in the court, right?

"Attending the court meeting? You really look up to me, except for the eldest brother, unless anyone else is called, they won't have a chance to go to the court at all. ”

"Of course, the fifth child will have a chance in the future. After all, he was in the territory, and he was in office. In the future, I will naturally have the opportunity to go to the court to participate in the government. ”

"My words are now guilty of sin, and if I go to the court, I will probably be questioned."

After listening to Zhu Zhang's answer, Chu Ze nodded silently.

He originally thought that these princes were going to go to the court.

Now it seems that he is overthinking.

And between the two of them, a chaotic sound of footsteps sounded from behind them almost without warning.

Listening to the voice, it seems that there are still a lot of people.

Chu Ze and Zhu Fan both subconsciously turned their heads to look at the aisle behind them after hearing the strange noise behind them.

However, in the next second, a large number of people with long knives on their waists, wearing fishtail suits, and extremely grim expressions galloped towards the direction where they were.

When he saw this familiar outfit, Chu Ze's brows couldn't help but wrinkle deeply again.

Flying Fish Suit.

This is Jinyiwei!

And looking at the posture of their whole team, this is not like a drill.

And such a large-scale dispatch of Jinyiwei is definitely not a good thing.

"Hey, stop!"

When the brocade guards of the brigade passed by the two of them, Zhu Fan subconsciously stopped one of them.

And when the other party found out that the person who called him was Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, he also stopped obediently.

"See His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I don't know what His Royal Highness the King of Qin commands?"

"Where are you going?"

"We are acting on orders, and I hope that Your Highness will not ask too much, if you have any doubts, you can ask Your Majesty!"

“.”

Regarding this brocade guard's faceless answer, Zhu Fan felt that his face seemed to be a little unbearable for a while.

Especially when Chu Ze was still standing on the side.

The other party is clearly deliberate

"How daring. You guy."

"Hey! There's no need to embarrass them, people are also acting on orders, since you have a life, go quickly, don't delay. ”

"Thank you!"

Looking at the Jinyi Guard, who ran away directly after making a salute, Zhu Fan was angry that the corners of his eyes couldn't stop twitching.

He was a dignified prince, but he was actually thrown off by a small brocade guard.

If this had been two months ago, Zhu Fan would have said nothing at this time, but in the future, he would have to make this guy look good.

And Chu Ze looked at the Jinyi guard who was far away, and then looked at Zhu Fan who was clenched with his fist clenched on the side.

He silently reached out and nudged the other party.

"Okay, you don't have to make such a bitter and hateful look, people are on official duties and responsibilities. If it's really confidential, feel free to tell you, and the nine clans will have to get in. ”

"Sometimes, you don't have to think too highly of yourself. Otherwise, it will only add to the troubles. ”

"If you want to be respected, at least you have to respect others. It's just the responsibility of the people. ”

After Chu Ze finished speaking, he took the lead and continued to walk in the direction of the Ministry of Rites.

And after Zhu Fan heard Chu Ze's words, his heart suddenly felt a lot better.

Looking at Chu Ze's back, he finally followed silently with a smile.

And when the two of them came to the door of the Ministry of Rites with leisurely steps, the picture in it made Chu Ze and Zhu Fan stunned in place.

The Ministry of Rites Compound was set up in the outer courtyard of the West Gate of the Imperial Palace.

As the core of the Ministry of Rites, one of the six parts of the Ming Dynasty, it stands to reason that this place should be busy at any time.

But at this time, in the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, there are three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry.

The brocade guard with a grim expression held a long knife in his hand, and looked at Chu Ze and Zhu Fan who suddenly stepped into the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites with deep eyes.

And after entering the compound, the two of them noticed that in the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites at this time, the courtiers who should have been concentrating on their work had been driven into the compound of the Ministry of Rites at this time.

One by one, under the guard of the brocade guard, their whole bodies were trembling.

At this time, Chu Ze and Zhu Fan also reacted.

The previous Jinyi Wei was obviously here to take people from the Ministry of Rites!

"You just named it, please come with us!"

After casually glancing at Chu Ze and Zhu Fan who were standing in front of the gate, a banner envoy of the brocade guard looked directly at the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had been driven together.

Then, after announcing a sentence with a bit of unquestionable arrogance in his tone.

The surrounding brocade guards directly pulled out the long knives at their waists and put on a fighting posture.

At this time, if anyone dares to resist, they will not hesitate to kill them on the spot.

After hearing the words of the flag envoy, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had been named before turned pale with fright at this time.

And not only that, but even some timid people were directly scared to pee.

The shouts of injustice and begging for mercy resounded throughout the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites for a while.

However, in the face of these people's cries, those brocade guards just lifted the other party directly out of the crowd with indifferent eyes.

Then he moved very quickly and tied his hands with ropes.

Under the eyes of the remaining survivors full of pity and worry, they were like driving cattle, and they walked directly to the outside.

When passing by the gate, the flag envoy did not forget to bow slightly to Zhu Fan and Chu Ze.

"Good work."

Chu Ze looked at the Jinyi Guard Banner Envoy who saluted him, and he waved his hand at the other party casually.

And Zhu Zhang, who had just lost face from Jinyiwei, thought that he didn't have to deal with the other party.

But after seeing that Chu Ze had spoken, he finally replied to the other party a little reluctantly.

"Good work."

And the flag envoy of the brocade guard originally thought that doing this salute by himself was just a rule.

I never thought that the other party would respond to me.

When Chu Ze and Zhu Fan responded, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

"It's not hard, it's just the duty."

"I'll retire first!"

After saying that, the other party saluted Chu Ze and Zhu Fan again.

It's just that when he saluted this time, his movements and demeanor couldn't help but feel a little more solemn.

Then, he took his subordinates and those captured courtiers out in a row.

As for where they were going, this was not something Chu Ze needed to care about.

However, after all the Jinyi guards left, they looked at the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites again, and the original courtiers were now nearly two-thirds less, and there were even more.

This grasp has almost emptied the entire Ministry of Rites!

"I finally understand now why your father asked me to pick a position"

Looking at the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, which suddenly became empty, Chu Ze had the deepest understanding of Lao Zhu's so-called 'picking a position'.

It's really just a matter of his pick!

Anyway, there is a shortage of people.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness King Qin!"

When Chu Ze and the others looked at the rest of the people in the Ministry of Rites, the other party was also looking at Chu Ze and them.

When they noticed Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, who was standing next to Chu Ze, the rest of the courtiers hurriedly saluted Zhu Zhang.

And Chu Ze looked at the remaining courtiers, and he was also a little inexplicable for a while.

Every face of these people has the relief of the rest of their lives written on their faces, but Chu Ze, who has come over, is very clear.

Under the interrogation methods of Jin Yiwei, how many of these remaining people in this Ministry of Rites can really survive the disaster, it is really difficult to say.

"Okay, you should work in the office, everyone has worked a little hard in the past two days, let's help each other with the work at hand."

"This is Chu Ze, presumably everyone is no stranger to him, he will be your colleague in the future, this is his edict of appointment."

When they heard Zhu Fan say the word 'colleague', the eyes of the remaining officials when they looked at Chu Ze couldn't help but become a little pity.

Colleague? At this time, I am afraid that it is almost the same as being a colleague

O hapless boy!

The May Day holiday is over! The update is starting to recover gradually! Ask for a monthly pass to support, and there will be a change tonight!
