Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chu Ze was slightly startled and looked up to meet the sharp gaze of the Imperial Master.

"Reporting to the Imperial Master, I am a dull and ignorant person, and I really do not know the profound meaning of the word 'heaven's will'. Please enlighten me."

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Master smiled slightly.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sparkling, and said slowly:
"The destiny of heaven is the cycle of nature and the law of all things. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. It cannot be changed by human will."

"Although you, Chu Ze, are both wise and brave, you are still just an ordinary person. If you were not blessed by heaven, how could you have achieved what you have today?"

"So, don't be too arrogant and think that you can change the world by yourself. The way of heaven is unpredictable. If you make a mistake, all your efforts will be wasted."

Although the Imperial Master's words were calm, they carried with them an unquestionable majesty.

Chu Ze felt his heart tremble when he heard this.

Although he is a time traveler, he also understands the horror of fate.

If it weren't for God's mercy, how could I have achieved the great achievements I have today?
Thinking of this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying respectfully:

"I will keep in mind the teachings of the Imperial Master. Although I have some extraordinary abilities, I am definitely not an arrogant person."

"If it weren't for your majesty's trust, the help of the ministers, and the support of the people, how could I have achieved what I have today?"

"From now on, I will be very cautious and tread carefully. I will never dare to overstep my bounds! I hope that the Imperial Master, Your Majesty, and all the other lords will bear with me and give me a chance to make amends!"

Chu Ze spoke with great sincerity, and Zhu Di and all the civil and military officials were moved when they heard it.

"General, what you said is so admirable! With a broad mind like yours, you will surely be able to assist the court and benefit the people!"

"That's right, the general is so humble, which shows the demeanor of a gentleman. We admire him so much, how dare we criticize him?"

All the ministers cheered and praised him in unison.

Zhu Di's eyes were filled with tears and he was filled with emotion.

"It's rare for you to be so frank. Your broad-mindedness is truly precious."

He helped Chu Ze up and said with a smile:
"I have already decided to let you serve as the Minister of War. This position belongs to you alone!"

Chu Ze was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

"I will obey your command and swear to serve you till death, and do my best!"

The whole court was shocked and all the ministers cheered.

"Congratulations to Lord Chu on his promotion!" "Minister Chu will surely support the government and create greater glory!"

Countless words of praise came like a tide.

Chu Ze's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

From an unknown time traveler to the Grand Marshal of the Ming Dynasty, the journey was extremely difficult and arduous.

However, all of this is inseparable from the support of the people, the trust of the court, and one's own unremitting efforts.

Now, he has held a high position and has great power, but his mission has just begun.

Chu Ze secretly vowed to himself that he must live up to everyone's expectations and make this prosperous foundation last forever!
He was deep in thought when the Imperial Master suddenly came up to him and whispered in his ear:
"Take good care of yourself, and don't forget what I said today. Remember, destiny is hard to defy, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish."

Chu Ze's heart trembled and he nodded solemnly.

The imperial teacher gave him a meaningful look and left.

The sea has changed, the years have changed.

Ever since Chu Ze took office as the Minister of War, the Ming Dynasty's government and the country have undergone a new transformation.

He planned and won the battle from afar.

As soon as the Minister of War took office, Chu Ze worked non-stop day and night.

He streamlined the outdated and complicated military regulations and revised the effective military rules and regulations.

Select the best troops, recruit talents from all over, and reorganize the organization.

At the same time, he opened up channels for communication, frequently discussed matters with civil officials and military generals, and gathered ideas from all quarters.

With such diligence, within three months, the border defense had been tight and the military equipment was improved day by day.

Even the imperial teacher, who was always cunning and eccentric, was impressed by his talent.

"Minister Chu, I have to admire your ability. In just a few months, you have eliminated the long-standing problems in the army. This is a great merit."

Chu Ze waved his hands and said modestly, "You are too kind, Imperial Master. I am just doing my duty. This is all due to your wisdom and the help of you, my dear ministers." The Imperial Master smiled slightly, saying meaningfully, "Minister Chu, you and I know this very well. All this is inseparable from your planning."

"Time is running out, and I can't stay here for long. I only have one thing to tell you."

He suddenly reached out and whispered something in Chu Ze's ear.

Chu Ze's expression changed and he nodded repeatedly.

The Imperial Master patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and left.

Watching the Imperial Master go away, Chu Ze fell into deep thought.

The old national teacher's last words were to let him abide by the word "heaven's will".

Could it be that there is some mystery behind this?
Chu Ze was full of doubts, but had no way of knowing the answers.

He was about to leave when he suddenly spotted a figure not far away, acting stealthily and strangely.

"who!"

Chu Ze shouted sharply and stepped forward quickly.

When the man heard the noise, he panicked and turned around to run away.

Chu Ze was quick-witted and grabbed the man by the collar.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhu Biao's trusted henchman, the eunuch Liu Jin!
"Liu Jin, what are you doing here? But Zhu Biao sent you here?"

Chu Ze's eyes were like lightning and his tone was cold.

Although Zhu Biao was dead, the remnants of his followers were still causing trouble in the court.

Liu Jin and others were even more blatant, frequently stirring up trouble and muddying the waters in the court.

"Your Excellency, I was just passing by here and accidentally lost my way. I was so panicked that I didn't even have time to escape, so how could I dare to have any evil intentions?"

Liu Jin was so frightened that he was shaking all over and couldn't speak clearly.

Chu Ze smiled coldly: "Lost? You think you can fool me with this little trick of yours?"

"Come here, take him away and interrogate him strictly!"

"promise!"

The guards rushed out, tied up Liu Jin and dragged him away.

Liu Jin struggled desperately in the back, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Sir Shangshu, I am innocent! I am really innocent!"

However, no matter how he protested, it was in vain.

Chu Ze looked around, his eyes as sharp as torches.

The enemies in the court were far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

A mere Liu Jin dared to spy on me so blatantly. He deserves death!

It seems that it will take some effort to completely eradicate Zhu Biao and his faction.

In a blink of an eye, Chu Ze arrived at the palace and met Zhu Di.

He reported in detail the matter of Liu Jin spying on him.

"This Liu Jin is so bold! How dare he openly monitor my confidant!"

Zhu Di was furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

"Someone, come here! Bring Liu Jin here immediately. I want to interrogate this bastard in person!"

The emperor's roar was like thunder, shaking the whole hall.

The eunuchs took the order tremblingly and left, and soon dragged Liu Jin up.

He was so frightened that he was kneeling on the ground, trembling and unable to speak clearly.

"Liu Jin, you are so bold! How dare you spy on my trusted ministers? What is your intention?"

Zhu Di stared at Liu Jin with sharp eyes and questioned him word by word.

Liu Jin felt the emperor's rage and suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with cold sweat pouring down his face.

He kowtowed tremblingly and begged, "Your Majesty, please calm down! I am truly innocent! I was just confused for a moment and that is why I made such a big mistake! Please, Your Majesty, please look into my mind and let me off the hook!" (End of this chapter)
