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

"Your Majesty, the secret letter from the Prince of Huai's Mansion has been found. It records the collusion between the Prince of Huai and foreign enemies. The evidence is conclusive!" Lu Bing said with a fist clasped.

Chu Ze picked up a secret letter, glanced at it, and then said coldly: "Very good, I have tolerated him until today, and he has found a perfect excuse for me!"

"Your Majesty is wise. The evidence in the case of Prince Huai is conclusive. Your Majesty is requested to decide how to deal with the case next!" Lu Bing said in a low voice.

"Pass on my order to place Prince Huai under house arrest. Do not alert other people for now. Wait until the time is right to settle accounts thoroughly!" Chu Ze said calmly with a cold look in his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing accepted the order and immediately withdrew.

Chu Ze put down the secret letter in his hand, tapped the table lightly, and said coldly: "These traitors really underestimated my means!"

"Your Majesty, Prince Huai has already made all the arrangements. Everything is in accordance with your instructions. He is under house arrest for the time being. No one in the palace dares to move!" Lu Bing walked quickly into the imperial study and said in a low voice.

Chu Ze nodded slightly and said in a cold voice: "Prince Huai is just the beginning. I still want to see how deep the water in the capital is!"

Lu Bing clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, what should I do next? Should I continue to track down other people who colluded with Prince Huai?"

"Investigate, but don't do it openly!" Chu Ze's eyes were cold and stern: "Those old foxes in the capital are hiding very deeply, we can't let them notice!"

"I understand!" Lu Bing nodded: "Then I will continue to investigate secretly and try not to alarm them!"

"These people are so bold as to collude with foreign enemies. I will settle accounts with them sooner or later.

But now, I have a bigger chess game to play!" Chu Ze said lightly, with a chill in his eyes.

Lu Bing whispered, "Your Majesty is wise. I am willing to serve you like a dog and horse and obey your orders at any time!"

Chu Ze looked at Lu Bing and said softly, "Lu Bing, you have been with me for many years, and you have a thorough understanding of the situation in the capital.

These people will not reveal their true colors until the last moment!"

"Your Majesty is right. I will continue to investigate their movements and await your Majesty's arrangements!" Lu Bing said respectfully.

Chu Ze waved his hand: "Go down, remember, any news must be reported to me immediately!"

Lu Bing nodded and left.

Chu Ze sat back on the dragon chair, tapped the table lightly, and then said: "Send the Minister of Revenue to see me!"

A moment later, the Minister of Revenue came hurriedly and knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty has summoned me. What do you want me to do?"

Chu Ze looked at the Minister of Revenue and said slowly: "The matter of Prince Huai has been investigated. The Ministry of Revenue must also check all the funds allocated to Prince Huai's Mansion in recent years, whether it is an open account or a hidden account, I will check them one by one!"

The Minister of Revenue was slightly startled, then he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. I will start investigating immediately and will not slack off in the slightest!"

"I hope you will personally take care of the matter of checking the accounts, and don't let the people below deal with it carelessly!" Chu Ze said in a cold tone: "If there is any money in the Huai Palace that comes from an unknown source, I want you to report it immediately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I would never dare to hide anything!" The Minister of Revenue responded quickly with a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Go, I'll wait for your news!" Chu Ze waved his hand.

The Minister of Revenue bowed and withdrew.

Chu Ze looked at the memorial on the table, his eyes flashing with coldness: "None of these traitors will be able to escape!"

At this moment, the eunuch Wang Gonggong came in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from outside that the generals on the border have sent an urgent report!"

Chu Ze frowned, took the urgent report and looked at it, then sneered: "The Mongolian army is provoking us at the border again. It seems that they haven't learned their lesson from last time!"

Eunuch Wang asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this?"

Chu Ze gently put down the urgent report and said in a cold voice: "Send a message to the Ministry of War to guard the area strictly and not to act rashly.

This time I want to see how courageous the Mongols are!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will pass the order right away!" Eunuch Wang bowed and withdrew. Chu Ze said coldly: "The Mongols came quickly this time, and I don't know if Prince Huai was involved.

Lu Bing!

Lu Bing came over quickly and clasped his fists and asked, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Go check Prince Huai's recent contacts with the border areas, especially what's going on in Mongolia!" Chu Ze ordered.

"I understand. I will check it out right away!" Lu Bing nodded in response, then turned and left.

Chu Ze stood in front of the window, his eyes sharp as a torch: "These idiots, do they really think I can't see through their little tricks?"

A few days later, Lu Bing brought back the results of his investigation: "Your Majesty, I have found out that the Prince of Huai does have secret dealings with Mongolia, but this time Mongolia's provocative actions seem to have nothing to do with the Prince of Huai's power!"

"Nothing to do with it?" Chu Ze sneered, "They won't be so honest.

I want you to keep watching and not let your guard down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will keep a close eye on their movements!" Lu Bing clasped his fists and accepted the order.

Chu Ze's eyes were cold, and he immediately said, "Pass the order down, all defense forces in the capital will be strengthened, and any unusual movement cannot be let go!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already made all the arrangements!" Lu Bing said with a bow.

"Very good!" Chu Ze nodded: "I am going to the Imperial Garden now, don't let anyone disturb me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing responded and stepped back.

Chu Ze walked out of the imperial study and slowly walked towards the imperial garden with an unhurried pace, as if everything in the palace was under his control.

As soon as he entered the Imperial Garden, he saw Qin Yunyun already standing by the rockery waiting. When she saw Chu Ze approaching, she smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you have been dealing with state affairs for many days, and today you finally have time to come to the Imperial Garden!"

"You seem to have plenty of free time!" Chu Ze said calmly.

Qin Yunyun said softly: "I know that Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs recently, so I specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some light meals. You should have a good rest!"

"I'm not in a hurry to eat!" Chu Ze said casually, "I want to know if there are any restless people in the harem recently?"

Qin Yunyun smiled gently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, everything in the harem is normal, I have been taking care of it!"

Chu Ze nodded: "I am very relieved to leave the affairs of the harem to you, but I am afraid that the situation in the capital will not be peaceful!"

Qin Yunyun said softly: "I believe that Your Majesty can resolve them one by one, and I will do my duty well!"

Chu Ze smiled faintly: "Okay, I'm glad you know!"

As the two were talking, a eunuch suddenly came running over to report: "Your Majesty, there is new news from Mongolia!"

Chu Ze frowned slightly: "What's new?"

"The border generals have sent an urgent report that the Mongolian army seems to have made new moves, and the number of people is greater than expected!" the eunuch whispered.

Chu Ze sneered and said, "It seems these barbarians don't know how to live or die.

Send a message to the military department, all generals must prepare for battle immediately, without any mistakes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch hurriedly retreated.

Seeing this, Qin Yunyun whispered, "Your Majesty, is the war on the border going to get tense again?"

"These barbarians have long been restless. I will let them know that the Ming cavalry is not a pushover!" Chu Ze said firmly. (End of this chapter)
