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

"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

Chu Ze glanced coldly at the officials who were kneeling to greet him and sneered, "Everyone, get up and stop pretending here!"

Those officials stood up one after another, lowered their heads and dared not look directly at Chu Ze.

Chu Ze rode on his horse, looking down at them, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the King of Huai?"

An official stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Huai has been seriously ill recently and was unable to come to greet you!"

"Seriously ill?" Chu Ze sneered, "He really knows how to pick the right time!"

After that, Chu Ze waved his hand and said, "Pass the order down, block the capital, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Prince Huai is seriously ill?" Chu Ze smiled coldly and waved his hand to signal his left and right: "Prepare the horses, I want to go and check it out myself!"

The attendants immediately took action and led the horses to the palace gate.

Chu Ze mounted his horse and led his followers to rush straight to the Prince of Huai's Palace.

When the common people and officials in the capital saw the emperor making such a scene, they couldn't help but look sideways, but no one dared to say anything, so they could only avoid him silently.

Lu Bing rode beside Chu Ze and whispered, "Your Majesty, there are many people coming and going in the Huai Palace, so it may not be easy to get in this time.

I suggest you bring more troops with you to avoid any accidents!"

"Hmph, I am enough on my own. The Huai Palace cannot be turned upside down!" Chu Ze said coldly, and he squeezed his legs together, and the warhorse accelerated forward.

At the gate of Prince Huai's mansion, the guards were shocked when they saw Chu Ze's team. They knelt down hurriedly and shouted, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Everyone, get up!" Chu Ze said coldly, he got off his horse and walked quickly into the palace.

When the servants in the Huai Palace saw Chu Ze, they all turned pale, lowered their heads and dared not say anything, and took him to the backyard of the palace.

The backyard was quiet, with only a few medical officers and maids walking back and forth.

"Where is Prince Huai?" Chu Ze asked casually.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Huai is resting in the inner hall. He has been seriously ill recently and cannot see outsiders!" an attendant answered cautiously.

"Can't see outsiders?" Chu Ze sneered and walked directly into the inner hall.

The light in the inner hall was dim. Prince Huai was lying on the bed, his face pale and his breathing weak.

Several medical officers knelt aside, lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Prince Huai, I'm here to see you in person!" Chu Ze walked to the bed, looked down at him, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

King Huai opened his eyes, glanced at Chu Ze, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I am seriously ill recently and I am afraid it is difficult for me to receive Your Majesty. I hope you will forgive me."

"Forgive me?" Chu Ze sneered, "You are good at talking.

Seriously ill? What a coincidence that you got sick right after I returned to Beijing?"

Prince Huai was slightly shocked, then coughed a few times and whispered, "Your Majesty, it is indeed inconvenient for me. I dare not deceive Your Majesty!"

"Humph!" Chu Ze said coldly, "I haven't settled the score with you yet for the fact that a group of people ambushed me outside your house!"

Prince Huai's face changed, and he struggled to get up, but he was suppressed by the pain and could not move: "Your Majesty, I did not do this! Someone must have framed me!"

"Framed?" Chu Ze sneered: "You are good at shirking responsibility.

In that case, I ask you, why did your cavalry ambush me on my way back to Beijing? You have to give me an explanation!"

The face of the Prince of Huai became paler and paler, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, I have been seriously ill and have not issued any orders. I have no idea about the cavalry. If there is any unusual movement, it must be someone in the palace acting on their own initiative!" "Acting on their own initiative?" Chu Ze stared at him, his voice cold: "You have completely denied your mansion and your cavalry.

Tell me, who took the initiative?"

King Huai's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said with difficulty: "I don't know, it may be the steward or someone else. Please Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

Chu Ze sneered, turned around and said to Lu Bing: "Go check the steward in the Huai Palace and find out who is the person who took the initiative!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing immediately took the order and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Prince Huai's face became even uglier, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't know about this! If I have concealed anything, I am willing to be severely punished by Your Majesty!"

"Severe punishment?" Chu Ze sneered: "Then I will make a note of it today. If I find out, I will punish you personally!"

Prince Huai was stunned for a moment, cold sweat ran down his face, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

As they were talking, Lu Bing came in with several stewards from the Huai Palace and bowed respectfully to Chu Ze.

"Your Majesty, I have already checked it out.

These stewards admitted that they mobilized the cavalry without the knowledge of the Prince of Huai!" Lu Bing said.

"Oh? Unauthorized mobilization?" Chu Ze stared at the managers and said coldly, "You are so bold that you dare to mobilize troops to ambush me without authorization?"

One of the stewards knelt down immediately and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, spare us! We were instructed by Zhang Heng, the commander of the military guards of the Prince Huai's Palace! We are just following orders and dare not disobey!"

"Zhang Heng?" Chu Ze raised his eyebrows: "Bring him here!"

A moment later, Zhang Heng was brought in. When he saw Chu Ze, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

"Unfair?" Chu Ze sneered: "Tell me, how are you wronged?"

Zhang Heng said quickly, "Your Majesty, I did order the troops to be mobilized this time, but we did not intend to ambush Your Majesty! We were just afraid that Your Majesty would encounter assassins on your way back to the capital, so we sent cavalry to patrol the road. We have no ill intentions!"

"Patrol?" Chu Ze stared at Zhang Heng with a sharp look in his eyes: "What a patrol! Then tell me, where did the assassin come from on my way?"

Zhang Heng kowtowed repeatedly: "I am just taking precautions! I have absolutely no ill intentions!"

"Prevention?" Chu Ze snorted coldly, turned to Lu Bing and said, "Drag him out and behead him!"

"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!" Zhang Heng begged for mercy loudly in panic, but the soldiers had already dragged him out.

Seeing this, the King of Huai was horrified and said quickly, "Your Majesty, I really didn't know about this! Zhang Heng made the decision on his own, and I just found out about it. I was definitely not involved!"

"Whether you were involved or not, I will find out for sure!" Chu Ze said coldly, then stood up: "I think your illness needs to be treated!"

Prince Huai kowtowed immediately: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you for your forgiveness!"

Chu Ze said no more, waved his hand, turned around and left the Prince Huai's Mansion.

Chu Ze left the Prince Huai's Mansion, stood at the gate, and looked back.

"It's a coincidence that Prince Huai is ill!" he said lightly.

Lu Bing followed closely behind and whispered, "Your Majesty, I think the Prince of Huai has made preparations.

Although those managers have confessed just now, the person behind it has not yet been found out!"

"Yes!" Chu Ze nodded and stepped onto his horse: "Don't rush to attack Prince Huai. I want to keep him alive and see what he can do!"

Lu Bing looked at Chu Ze and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?" (End of this chapter)
