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

"I don't have time to rest!" Chu Ze said coldly: "Let's talk about it after these things are dealt with!"

Eunuch Wang lowered his head, not daring to say much, and just quietly retreated.

As night fell, the capital city seemed exceptionally quiet. Chu Ze changed into a black suit, rode a horse with a few personal guards, quietly left the palace, and headed straight for the dilapidated temple outside the city.

When they arrived outside the temple, Lu Bing had already led his men to ambush in various places.

Seeing Chu Ze coming, Lu Bing said softly: "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged, just waiting for the other party to show up!"

"Okay, wait quietly and don't alert the enemy!" Chu Ze's eyes were cold, and he immediately dismounted and hid behind a tree.

Soon after, several dark shadows quickly approached the temple and walked into it.

Chu Ze smiled slightly, stared coldly at the figures, and whispered, "They are all here!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to take action immediately?" Lu Bing asked in a low voice.

"Don't be impatient, wait until they start handing over the token!" Chu Ze said softly.

After a while, whispering sounds were heard in the temple and several people began to talk.

A voice said: "The plan over there has been set this time. As long as Beijing cooperates, we can work together inside and outside to achieve the overall situation!"

Another voice whispered, "Don't worry, we have already arranged everything in the capital, and we are just waiting for you Mongolians to take action!"

Hearing this, Chu Ze smiled coldly and whispered: "Do it!"

Following the order, the elite soldiers in ambush immediately rushed into the temple from all directions and surrounded the few people.

"How dare you!" Lu Bing shouted, rushed into the temple, and drew his sword: "You traitors, you dare to collude with foreign enemies, your crime is unforgivable!"

The faces of several people suddenly changed, and one of them shouted sternly: "Who are you? Who sent you here?"

Chu Ze walked out of the darkness and said coldly, "Who sent us here? Don't you know it in your heart?"

When those people saw Chu Ze, they panicked and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare us! Your Majesty, please spare us! We were forced to do this, and we have no second thoughts!"

"Forced?" Chu Ze sneered, "Forced to collude with foreign enemies. Tell me, who forced you?"

One of them trembled and kowtowed quickly: "Your Majesty, I had no choice! I just want to protect my family, and I have absolutely no intention of rebellion!"

"Protect the family?" Chu Ze said coldly, "Do you want me to protect my kingdom for you? Lu Bing, take them all back, leave no one behind!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing waved his hand, and the guards immediately stepped forward, tied up several people, and took them to the capital.

Chu Ze stood in front of the temple, his eyes cold, and said softly: "These people really underestimate me!"

The next morning, Chu Ze sat in the court. Civil and military officials came to the court one after another. Seeing that His Majesty looked normal, they knelt down and saluted.

"May your Majesty be safe!"

Chu Ze waved his hand gently: "No need to be polite. Anyone who dares to hide what happened yesterday will die today!"

All the officials were stunned for a moment, not knowing what His Majesty meant. Lu Bing immediately stood up and said coldly: "Yesterday, Your Majesty personally arrested several traitors who colluded with Mongolia and have now put them in the Heavenly Prison. If any of you still have hope, don't even think about leaving this palace alive today!"

All the officials were shocked when they heard this. Many of them lowered their heads in silence, while some broke out in cold sweat.

Chu Ze glanced at the ministers and said coldly: "There are more than a few traitors who colluded with the foreign enemy this time.

If any of you dare to make the slightest move, I will kill all your clans!" The palace was silent, and many people did not even dare to breathe. Chu Ze's eyes were sharp: "Lu Bing, within three days, thoroughly investigate all the forces in the court that are connected with Mongolia, and don't let any of them go!"

"I obey your command!" Lu Bing said with a fist.

The court was in a state of solemnity. Chu Ze said coldly, "Today's court meeting ends here. All government offices should continue to do their own work. Anyone who dares to make any unusual moves will be executed without mercy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the officials responded in unison and left the hall one after another.

After everyone left, Chu Ze knocked lightly on the table and said in a cold voice: "Eunuch Wang!"

Eunuch Wang immediately came in and said respectfully, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Pass on my order, keep a close eye on the major families in the capital, and report any unusual movements immediately!" Chu Ze said calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away!" Eunuch Wang took the order and withdrew.

Chu Ze looked at the empty hall, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he murmured: "I will not let any of these traitors go!"

In the afternoon, the Minister of Revenue came hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, I have found out that there are several funds in the Huaiwang Mansion that are of unknown origin, and there are also traces of accounts with Mongolia. I am preparing to report it!"

After hearing this, Chu Ze nodded slightly: "Very good, continue investigating, I want all the evidence to be laid out on the table!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your trust!" The Minister of Revenue bowed and withdrew.

At this time, Lu Bing also came in with new information and said, "Your Majesty, several traitors in the prison have begun to confess. They have revealed many of their accomplices in the court. I have already started to arrest them!"

"Your Majesty!" Lu Bing hurried in and clasped his fists, saying, "I just received news that the several wealthy families you ordered people to monitor yesterday have made unusual moves. They have sent people everywhere, seemingly trying to spy on our defenses!"

Chu Ze smiled slightly, his eyes stern: “These people really can’t hold back.

Lu Bing, go get ready, don't rush, let them jump higher!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to let them continue?" Lu Bing frowned slightly.

"Yes, continue!" Chu Ze said coldly: "Once they jump, I can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Understood, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing bowed and turned to leave.

Chu Ze suddenly said, "Wait, double the number of spies. Don't let them notice, but don't let up on the surveillance!"

"I understand. I'll do it right away!" Lu Bing responded again and walked out of the imperial study quickly.

Chu Ze watched him leave, his eyes flickering for a moment, and then he said calmly: "These traitors, do they really think I will let them do whatever they want?"

Not long after, the Minister of Revenue came hurriedly and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

"Speak!" Chu Ze sat on the dragon throne, his eyes falling on him coldly.

"The financial problems at the Huai Palace have been almost investigated. I have found several transactions that are closely related to Mongolia, and even discovered that several managers in the palace had been active on the border!" The Minister of Revenue said in a low voice.

Chu Ze nodded slightly: "Very good, continue to check, match all the accounts one by one, don't miss any clues!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have already started to make arrangements, and there will be further results soon!" said the Minister of Revenue with a bow.

"Remember, what I want is ironclad evidence. We can't give them any room to quibble!" Chu Ze said in a cold tone.

"I understand, and I will never slack off!" The Minister of Revenue nodded repeatedly and withdrew respectfully. (End of this chapter)
