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

"Hong Chengchou, Shen Rong, are you innocent or not? I don't know."

Chu Ze muttered to himself, feeling depressed.

He walked down the stairs step by step, his shadow stretching out in the sunset.

The boundless future is waiting for him to explore
Chu Ze slowly walked back to the bedroom and was about to push the door open when suddenly there was a "bang" and it was pushed open by someone inside.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I have something important to report!" Wang Yangming knelt down on the ground in panic, terrified.

"Why are you so panicked?" Chu Ze frowned and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, someone outside the palace spread rumors that Hong Chengchou and Shen Rong were wronged by the Majesty. Now the people have gathered outside the palace gates, demanding justice for the two! The situation was out of control!"

"What?" Chu Ze was shocked and pulled Wang Yangming up.

"Where are the Queen Mother and the princes now?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the princes, Prince Fu and other important officials are all taking refuge in the Yangxin Palace."

Wang Yangming was trembling with sweat on his forehead.

Chu Ze made a prompt decision and said sternly: "Pass on my imperial decree and order the Jinyiwei to strictly protect the Queen Mother, the princes and important officials. If there is any mistake, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" Wang Yangming looked up suddenly and left in a hurry.

"Pass on my imperial decree, order the Imperial Guards to guard the capital. If there are any signs of rebellion among the people again, kill them without mercy!"

Chu Ze gave a few more instructions and hurried to the Yangxin Palace.

Along the way, he gritted his teeth secretly.

Did Hong Chengchou and Shen Rong really rebel? Or was there something else going on?

Why did the people suddenly gather together to cause trouble? Is there a mastermind behind this?
He was full of doubts and wanted to get to the bottom of it immediately.

Rushing to the Yangxin Palace, Chu Ze saw the empress dowager and the princes with terrified faces.

There was also the flustered Qin Yunyun, and important officials such as Yang Jinglong who had serious expressions.

"Your Majesty! You are finally here!" As soon as the Queen Mother saw Chu Ze, she immediately burst into tears.

"Don't worry, mother. I'm here and I won't let anyone hurt you." Chu Ze hurried forward and gently helped the queen mother up.

"Your Majesty, there is news from outside that someone who claims to be a close confidant of Hong Chengchou and Shen Rong is stirring up trouble among the people. He wants the people to rise up and overthrow your rule!"

Yang Jinglong stepped forward and spoke anxiously.

"How is this possible?" Chu Ze was shocked when he heard this and his eyes widened in disbelief.

He looked around and saw that all the civil and military officials were in panic and talking about it.

"Hong Chengchou and Shen Rong are really planning a rebellion!"

"They claim to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic? They are simply ruthless!"

"It seems that the emperor has been kept in the dark this time. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, these two evils should have been eliminated long ago!"

Countless accusations were heard in the hall, making it noisy.

Chu Ze felt a splitting headache when he heard this.

Could it be that all this was a trap set by Hong Chengchou and Shen Rong? Was he really wrong?
Qin Yunyun walked up to Chu Ze and said softly, "Your Majesty, please don't worry too much. The most urgent task right now is to quell the unrest in the capital. It won't be too late to plan for other things later."

Chu Ze rubbed his eyebrows and nodded slowly.

He knew that the most urgent task at the moment was to stabilize people's hearts and quell the unrest in the capital.

We will discuss other matters later.

"Lord Yang, mobilize the imperial guards immediately and strictly guard the palace.

Qin Yunyun, take the Empress Dowager and the princes to take shelter here temporarily.

I will go to the front line and personally command the army to quell the rebellion!"

Chu Ze made a prompt decision and gave orders in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go with you!" Yang Jinglong clasped his fists and asked.

"Okay! Let's go together!" Chu Ze nodded in agreement.

Qin Yunyun grabbed Chu Ze's sleeve, her brows furrowed, her eyes full of worry.

"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do that! Those rebels are extremely vicious and cruel. If you rashly go out to fight, something bad might happen to you."

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

Chu Ze patted his wife's hand and comforted her gently, "With Lord Yang accompanying me, I will be safe. Besides, as the king of a country, how can I stay out of danger alone?"

Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, Qin Yunyun had to let go sadly.

"Your Majesty, please be more careful"

Chu Ze nodded seriously and left the Yangxin Palace with big strides.

Yang Jinglong followed closely behind, and the two quickly disappeared into the night. After a while, a burst of urgent military calls sounded outside the palace gate.

Countless royal guards clad in heavy armor marched out in a mighty procession, illuminated by torches.

The golden figure at the head was Chu Ze.

He was wearing golden armor and a phoenix crown on his head. He looked majestic and powerful.

Horse hooves trampled through the darkness, and the iron cavalry, like a mountain, rushed straight to where the rebels gathered.

In the distance, one could faintly hear the sounds of swords and guns clashing and fighting and shouting, which was deafening.

Countless people fled in panic, with cries and shouts rising one after another.

The capital was in chaos and people were in panic.

This scene made Chu Ze frown.

He squeezed the horse's belly and increased his speed.

In the blink of an eye, they had rushed into the rebels' encirclement.

I saw countless rabble, waving machetes and spears, rushing towards the Royal Guards frantically.

The leader was a man with a burly build and a face full of flesh.

It was Hong Chengchou's confidant and the mastermind of this rebellion, Hong Tianxiong!

"Hong Tianxiong, stop it!"

Chu Ze shouted loudly, like a thunderclap.

He urged his horse forward and pointed the sword in his hand at Hong Tianxiong.

"You have abandoned your duties without permission and gathered a crowd to rebel. You are plotting to usurp the throne and deceive the emperor.

This crime is unforgivable, why don't you surrender immediately! "

Upon hearing this, Hong Tianxiong laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha! What do you mean by deceiving the emperor? It was you, Chu Ze, who wronged the loyal and honest people and took their lives lightly!
My general is loyal and dedicated.

But you listened to slander and pushed him into a desperate situation.

Today I will seek justice for him and drive you, the incompetent and tyrannical tyrant, out of office!"

"How dare you! How dare you be so presumptuous!"

Chu Ze was furious, pointed his sword at Hong Tianxiong, and shouted: "Come here, capture this lunatic!"

Before he could finish his words, the soldiers behind him rushed forward and surrounded the rebels.

The two sides fought in a melee, with the killing going on in a chaotic manner.

Although Hong Tianxiong is extremely brave and can defeat a hundred people alone.

But the Royal Guards were well-trained and numerous.

For a moment, he was unable to do anything to the other party.

Hong Tianxiong saw that the situation was hopeless and thought to himself that this was not good.

He gritted his teeth and yelled at Chu Ze: "Chu Ze, remember this!
"The revenge I inflicted today will be repaid a hundredfold in the future! I will fight to the death to bring justice to General Hong Chengchou!"

After saying this, he shook the reins and was about to break out.

Chu Ze sneered upon seeing this, and suddenly squeezed the horse's belly, rushing out like an arrow.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

He shouted loudly and swung the sword in his hand down into the air.

The sharp sword edge drew a sharp arc in the firelight and went straight to Hong Tianxiong's face.

Hong Tianxiong was caught off guard and hurriedly dodged to the side.

However, it was too late, and all he heard was a "puff".

Blood splattered, Hong Tianxiong covered his neck and fell off his horse.

The pool of blood on the ground grew larger and larger, and the pair of eyes widened into a ball, lifeless.

"The main culprit has been eliminated, don't pursue the remaining evildoers!"

Chu Ze waved his sword and gave orders loudly.

"Lord Yang, order the remaining rebels to be captured alive and interrogated strictly. We must find out who is behind this!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Jinglong took the order, turned his horse around and charged back to the battlefield.

In a blink of an eye, the rebels collapsed and were escorted into submission by the Imperial Guards. (End of this chapter)
