"Brother Chu Ze, I found you so powerful! More powerful than I thought. ”

After leaving the East Palace, Chu Ze led Lan Ruoyan and walked towards the Ministry of Rites again.

Now, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Bai are still on the way to recuperate, and the other students who accompanied them all received cowpox at one time thanks to the blessing of their grandson.

The school has been put on hold for the time being, so Chu Ze has actually been relatively idle recently.

On the way to the Ministry of Rites, Lan Ruoyan held Chu Ze's somewhat heavy hand and looked at him with big eyes watery.

His eyes were full of admiration and yearning for the strong.

"Am I amazing? You used to think, how good I am! ”

On the way to the Ministry of Rites, after Chu Ze heard Lan Ruoyan's words, he couldn't help but smile and looked down at the other party.

When Lan Ruoyan said this, he was a little curious about what kind of person he was in his eyes at the beginning.

"I used to just think, Brother Chu Ze, you know everything, you can do anything. Anyway, it gives people a very knowledgeable and powerful feeling. ”

"But after a trip to the palace with you today, I found that you are even more powerful than I thought!"

"When you talk to Your Majesty, I don't feel that you are afraid of Your Majesty at all!"

"Even if it is a father, you can always clearly feel his restraint in front of His Majesty. But Brother Chu Ze, you can't feel these things in you. ”

"And when you talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I don't think you look like a monarch at all."

"I don't know how to say it, but I always think that Brother Chu Ze is so special!"

…

After hearing Lan Ruoyan's evaluation of herself, Chu Ze smiled and reached out to rub her little head.

After messing up his long, silky hair, he took his hand away contentedly.

"You're still young, you'll know when you're older. This kind of special thing about me comes at a price. ”

"At the cost?"

After hearing Chu Ze's words, a trace of confusion flashed in Lan Ruoyan's eyes.

She didn't quite understand the meaning of Chu Ze's words.

In the face of Lan Ruoyan's somewhat confused look, Chu Ze didn't explain much.

Just smiled and led her to the Ministry of Rites compound.

Originally, Chu Ze thought that it would take a long time for the emptied Ministry of Rites to recover.

But the fact is that he still underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's execution after all.

After the Ministry of Rites was emptied, in less than two days, the personnel of the Ministry of Rites were expanded.

At the very least, the basic work needs can be met.

And when Chu Ze led Lan Ruoyan to the Ministry of Rites, he originally wanted to leave with a card, but he was directly blocked by someone.

"Brother Chu Ze, I can be regarded as waiting for you."

"Uh, you're you, Huang Qiurang?"

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to remember the villain's name! It's a rare and honorable experience! ”

"What's the matter?"

Chu Ze looked at Huang Qiurang, who was blocking his way, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The position of the Ministry of Rites arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang for him is actually just a matter of letting him hang up some qualifications.

He is now the number one close minister by Zhu Biao's side after all, and he is also Lan Yu's son-in-law.

You can't really be just a nine-grade master book for the rest of your life.

Not to mention that the door is right, at least there is some difficulty on the face.

Therefore, Chu Ze has now been promoted from the master of the ninth rank to the imperial attendant of the seventh grade.

It's just a gilding process.

It is estimated that he will not stay in the Ministry of Rites for long, and he will have to be promoted.

According to Chu Ze's estimation, Lao Zhu has to give him a fourth-grade idle position.

Otherwise, there is some unhappiness on the face.

Since he is here to go through the motions, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be anything wrong with him.

The other party suddenly blocked his way, I'm afraid it's not... Want to find faults?

"Brother Chu Ze! Delay you a little, there is a handwritten message sent by His Majesty himself, I am afraid I will have to bother you to make a trip! ”

"An edict from Your Majesty? What's the matter? ”

When he heard that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who sent the order, Chu Ze's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of curiosity, what else did Zhu Yuanzhang need to give him an order in person?

Moreover, he deliberately went around in a big circle, released it to the hands of the Ministry of Rites, and then fell into his own hands?

"That's the case, a group of envoys from the Wa Kingdom came to Daming, and after hearing about it, His Majesty specially sowed an edict, which is named, let the brother, you go over in person!"

"Your Majesty's handwritten decree is here, brother, please take a look."

Huang Qiurang is now in the third round of officials in the Ministry of Rites.

Here's the wheel: It is the number of times that officials of the Ministry of Rites have been thoroughly investigated by His Majesty.

This kind of guy who can serve in the Ministry of Rites and can save his life for three consecutive rounds, how can he not see that Chu Ze is here to go through the motions?

How could someone who needed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come and greet him in person really be a little waiter in a place like the Ministry of Rites?

A person like him, if it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's explicit order to ask Chu Ze to personally meet these envoys from the Wa Kingdom, even if he was given ten guts, he wouldn't dare to make decisions and leave these things to Chu Ze to do!

So after explaining the situation to Chu Ze roughly, he hurriedly handed the edict sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to Chu Ze.

He's a messenger, and if he can, it's naturally best to be able to not offend both sides, which is the best ending.

And after Chu Ze heard his words, he also reached out and took the hand he handed over.

After opening the fold in his hand, the content on it made the corners of Chu Ze's mouth twitch slightly.

"Chu Ze, let's take care of this."

The tone of this speech is really His Majesty's handwritten message, and ordinary people write down such a few words, and he definitely doesn't have this taste.

"Alright, I got it! Where are these people now? When did it come? How long have you been waiting? ”

After closing the fold in his hand, Chu Ze handed it directly to Lan Ruoyan, who was holding him.

Then, he looked at Huang Qiurang, who was still waiting in front of him.

Although the two were at the same level, after Chu Ze raised the question, Huang Qiurang immediately cheered up.

After organizing the language slightly, he reported the situation to Chu Ze in a slip manner.

"This group of envoys from the Wa Kingdom arrived in Jinling City four days ago, and they are currently waiting for our arrangements in Honglu Temple."

"This morning, I sent someone to urge me once."

"Four days ago"

After Chu Ze listened to Huang Qiurang's words, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Calculating the time, then these people should have set off before Hu Weiyong's caravan went to the merchant privately.

Then they probably didn't get smallpox.

"Okay, I still know about this, I'll take care of it later. If nothing else, I'll go first. ”

"Hey, you go slowly, go slowly!"

Under Huang Qiurang's gaze, Chu Ze leisurely led Lan Ruoyan out of the Ministry of Rites compound.

And when he saw him go away, Huang Qiurang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huang Lao, who was that guy just now? You look nervous."

Huang Qiurang had just breathed a sigh of relief when a sleek-looking teenager jumped up next to him.

And as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly inquired about Chu Ze.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't."

Compared with the humility when he faced Chu Ze just now, Huang Qiurang at this time was full of momentum of the old-timers.

After scolding the other party sharply, he walked directly to the side with a black face.

These little young. After studying hard one by one, after high school, many of them have lost their hearts.

Even if you don't work all day long, you still want to be close to the relationship.

This kind of person is estimated to not be able to survive a round.

"Ruo Yan. I'll send you home first. I've got to take care of something here. It's not very convenient to take you with you. ”

After leaving the palace gate with Lan Ruoyan, he looked at Lan Ruoyan who was following him, and after a little hesitation, he finally decided not to take her to Honglu Temple.

After all, what happened next、If you don't get it right, it will be a little bloody。

This took Lan Ruoyan with her, which was somewhat inappropriate.

"Brother Chu Ze, you still have to deal with business, Ruo Yan shouldn't have gone with him in the first place! But are we going back to my house, or are we going back to ours? ”

My home, our home?

This little girl recognizes the door quite clearly!

The word "family" has already begun to be used.

"Don't want to go back to your house? I think you haven't been back for days. Don't want to go back to see your father-in-law? ”

After hearing Chu Ze's words, it seemed that she wanted to send her home, and Lan Ruoyan's delicate pink lips immediately muttered.

The little cheek raiser is tall.

"I don't want to go back. As soon as I got home, my eldest mother asked me to learn embroidery, and now my second mother wants me to learn to play the guzheng. It's a day of sitting, and it's not fun at all. ”

"Brother Chu Ze, don't send me back, okay?"

Looking at Lan Ruoyan, who was full of resistance at the mention of going home, Chu Ze suddenly remembered the child who ran away from home during the rebellious period for some reason.

Isn't that the same thing?

He reached out and pinched her little face, then gently took her hand, and then stepped into the carriage.

Before leaving, Chu Ze greeted one of the guards beside him.

"You help me run and call Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin. Tell them I've got a lot going on here. ”

"Yes."

After watching his guards leave, Chu Ze asked the coachman to drive home.

Of course, this home is 'our' home.

After Chu Ze's summoning, the efficiency of the two brothers, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhang, can be said to be directly full.

Chu Ze had just arrived home here, and the two of them came to the door one after another.

And as soon as they entered the door, they heard an explosion echoing in the courtyard of Chu Ze's house.

This familiar voice, the two of them are naturally no stranger.

This roar is the only sound that can only be found when the fire bolt is fired.

The two looked in the direction where the sound sounded, and saw that Lan Ruoyan, who had already changed into a practice uniform, had just fired a shot, and was skillfully loading ammunition.

And in front of her, there are targets one by one.

When he saw this scene, Zhu Di was a little speechless and pulled the second brother beside him with his hand.

Then, he pointed to Lan Ruoyan, who was loading ammunition.

"Last time, Chu Ze said that he was not allowed to test the gun in his yard. Look at how much time this has been! The shooting range has been built, and this guy simply says one thing and does another, and does one thing in front of him and one behind his back. ”

"It's not enough to see a friend who forgets his friends!"

Regarding Zhu Di's complaints, Zhu Fan also glanced in the direction he was pointing.

However, then, he turned his head directly to look at Zhu Di.

The brow twitched twice in a provocative manner.

"It's the lady standing over there that you're talking about, and if people don't spoil their wife, it's hard to spoil you!"

"It's not a question of whether you are pampered or not! We tried a shot last time, and he talked to us for a long time. With this turn of the head, I built a shooting range at home, which is not a double mark! It's a bit of a bully! ”

When Zhu Di complained to his second brother, Lan Ruoyan on the side seemed to be provoking him.

After loading the ammunition, he directly raised the flintlock pistol in his hand and pulled the trigger directly at the target moving in the distance.

After a bang, the target in the distance was directly pierced by the flying bullets.

One shot hits, right in the bull's-eye.

"I said two, why don't you come in and sit down? What are you doing standing outside? ”

Before Zhu Di wanted to say something, Chu Ze's voice had already sounded in the front hall in front of them.

And Zhu Di looked at the target that was clearly unmanned, but it was still moving.

He felt a little amused for a while.

This kind of moving target is much more interesting than those that don't move at all.

It's just that there is no water around here, and how did Lan Ruoyan's targets move?

Although he was a little curious in his heart, under Chu Ze's call, Zhu Di still followed Zhu Fan towards the front hall of their house.

"What's wrong? What's going on? ”

"yes, didn't you tell us you had a lot of fun here? Where's the excitement? ”

Looking at Chu Ze, who had no intention of showing his two brothers a seat, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, who had long been used to it, directly found a place for themselves and sat down.

and unceremoniously greeted the maids on the side, and asked them to go to the kitchen to prepare to eat and drink.

Although this is not their royal residence, in Chu Ze, they feel much more at ease than in their own home.

"It's not here, I'm going to go to Honglu Temple for a while, what do you two say? Have time to walk together?"

"I'm afraid I'll be tired for a while, and no one will change hands!"

After hearing that Chu Ze was going to Honglu Temple, Zhu Di, who was about to pick up the pastries on the table and take a bite, immediately became interested.

"Are you going to fight in Honglu Temple? I'll have to make up for this excitement! I'll go, I'll be fine all afternoon today! ”

And after hearing Zhu Di's somewhat coaxing words, Zhu Fan on the side subconsciously adjusted the flying fish suit on his body.

Then he coughed very much.

"What fights and doesn't fight? Let's go, that's called Jinyiwei to handle the case. Is it good for idlers to avoid it! ”

"Let me, the commander of the brocade guard, lead the team!"
