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

"Go back to the palace!" Chu Ze said, and rode away on his horse, with the guards following him.

After returning to the palace, Chu Ze went straight into the imperial study and ordered, "Call the three ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The attendant responded and quickly went to pass on the order.

A moment later, three ministers arrived one after another and knelt down together.

"Your Majesty has summoned me. What instructions do you have?" the Minister of Revenue asked with a fist clasped.

"The capital is not peaceful!" Chu Ze sat on the dragon throne and said in a cold tone: "I want the three of you to investigate the movements in the court, especially the power of Prince Huai, and don't alert the enemy!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. We will investigate thoroughly!" The Minister of War said, "The people of the Huai King have indeed been active recently. I have also heard about it. It seems that the situation is not small!"

"Hear it?" Chu Ze sneered: "What I want is not hearsay, but solid evidence.

Without evidence, I can't touch him!"

The three of them looked at each other, and understood the seriousness of the matter. They expressed their opinions one after another: "We will not fail your majesty's trust, and we will investigate the movements of the Prince of Huai thoroughly!"

"I give you three days. If there is no result within three days, I will replace you!" Chu Ze stood up and said coldly.

After hearing this, the three ministers responded in unison: "Yes, we will definitely live up to your trust!"

"Go down!" Chu Ze waved his hand, and the three of them quickly retreated.

After they left, Lu Bing came forward and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Prince Huai? If there is evidence, will you act immediately?"

Chu Ze stood in front of the window, his eyes slightly fixed: "When you take action, you must be clean and neat, but you can't act rashly.

The Huai King has a strong foundation, and he has many followers. Once he takes action, we must root them out!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lu Bing saluted and said, "I will have people keep a close eye on the Huai Palace. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately!"

"Yes!" Chu Ze nodded: "You should also pay more attention to the movements of other vassal kings in the capital. Don't let them take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos!"

"I understand. I have arranged personnel to keep a close eye on various locations!"

"Okay!" Chu Ze said, walked to the desk and sat down, casually flipping open the memorial on the table, and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Lu Bing tactfully withdrew. The imperial study became quiet for a moment, with only Chu Ze left.

Not long after, a eunuch walked in cautiously and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Queen is here!"

"Let her in!" Chu Ze put down the memorial and said lightly.

A moment later, Qin Yunyun walked in with concern on her face: "Your Majesty, the situation seems a little complicated when you return to Beijing this time. I saw that you have been working hard these days, so I came to see you!"

"Nothing!" Chu Ze replied calmly, "I know everything about the court, but you don't have to worry about these things!"

Qin Yunyun nodded, walked to the table, and said softly: "Your Majesty is very busy, but I am worried that some people have ulterior motives. Your Majesty should be careful!"

"Have ulterior motives?" Chu Ze sneered: "No matter how ulterior motives they have, I can still deal with them.

I am not sitting in this position by charity from others!"

Qin Yunyun smiled slightly, then whispered: "Your Majesty is brave and brave, I believe it.

But I still hope that Your Majesty will not be too tired and take care of your health!"

"Yeah!" Chu Ze nodded, his tone still calm: "Don't worry, I know the limits!"

Seeing that Chu Ze didn't say much, Qin Yunyun stopped talking and turned around and sat down on a chair nearby.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside. Lu Bing hurried in and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, there have been some unusual movements at the north gate of the capital. I sent people to investigate and found that some unidentified people sneaked into the city!" "Sneaked into the city?" Chu Ze frowned and stood up immediately: "Come on, take me to see!"

Qin Yunyun also stood up and said with concern: "Your Majesty, it is best to be careful!"

"No problem!" Chu Ze turned to her and said, "Wait for me in the palace. I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, Chu Ze, along with Lu Bing and his entourage, quickly walked out of the imperial study.

Not long after, Chu Ze and his companions arrived near the north gate of the capital, and indeed saw a team of imperial guards searching everywhere.

The leader of the Imperial Guards saw Chu Ze and immediately reported: "Your Majesty, we just spotted a few suspicious people near the north gate. They seemed to be trying to sneak into the city. I have ordered people to strengthen the defense and are searching for them!"

"Suspicious person?" Chu Ze asked coldly, "Have you caught him?"

"Your Majesty, they have not been caught yet. I have sent people to search everywhere, but those people are very skilled, I am afraid they are well prepared!"

"Are you prepared?" Chu Ze sneered, "Pass the order down, block the entire city, and make sure to capture all these people!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The commander immediately went down to pass on the order.

Chu Ze stood there, looking around, and then said to Lu Bing: "Since these people dared to sneak into the city, they must have a plan.

You personally lead people to search outside the city carefully and make sure to find out where they came from!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing responded with a fist salute, then left quickly with a few of his followers.

Chu Ze looked towards the north gate and said coldly, "I want to see who is behind this!"

The search operation near the north gate lasted a whole night, however, those suspicious people seemed to have disappeared and their trace was never found.

In the early morning, Lu Bing came back exhausted and reported to Chu Ze: "Your Majesty, I have searched outside the city, but those people seem to have escaped and I can't find any trace!"

"Escape?" Chu Ze frowned: "They are quite capable to escape from under my nose!"

"I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing lowered his head, his face full of shame.

"Don't rush to punish them!" Chu Ze waved his hand and said, "Continue to block the entire city and find out where they came from.

If I catch you again, I want to see who is behind it!"

"Yes, I will be doubly cautious and never let them escape again!" Lu Bing responded with a fist salute, then turned and left.

Chu Ze stood at the city gate, pondered for a moment, then turned around and returned to the palace.

"Prince Huai's matter hasn't been resolved yet, and this group of people jumped out to mess things up again. It seems that there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this capital!"

Chu Ze returned to the palace, walked into the imperial study, sat on the dragon chair, pondered for a moment, and then shouted, "Someone come!"

An attendant immediately stepped forward and stood with his fists clasped respectfully.

"Send a message to Lu Bing, and ask him to take people to thoroughly investigate the suspicious person who sneaked into the city today. No matter who they are, their identity must be found out!" Chu Ze ordered, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the attendant responded and quickly retreated.

Chu Ze sat at the desk, tapping the table lightly. After a moment, a personal attendant walked in and whispered, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Huai Palace that the Huai Prince's condition has worsened and may be in danger of his life!"

"Oh?" Chu Ze smiled slightly: "He got sick so fast. He couldn't hold on for a few days after I returned to the capital? He really has a good plan!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to the Huai Palace to investigate?" the attendant asked cautiously. (End of this chapter)
