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

The next morning, Chu Ze arrived at the Golden Palace early and summoned all civil and military officials.

"My dear ministers," Chu Ze said in a cold tone, "I have an important announcement today."

All the ministers knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"I have already found out that King Chu, Chu Yun, has been secretly communicating with Bai Wuchang and intends to rebel!" Chu Ze's voice was full of majesty.

The whole court was in uproar when these words came out. The ministers looked at each other in disbelief, unable to believe their ears.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please look into it carefully!" a minister said bravely.

"The evidence is irrefutable and cannot be denied!" Chu Ze snorted coldly, "Come here, arrest Chu Yun!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of imperial guards rushed into the Golden Palace and surrounded Chu Yun.

Chu Yun's face changed drastically. He pointed at Chu Ze and said angrily, "Brother Emperor, what do you mean by this? You actually wronged me!"

"You are wrongly accused?" Chu Ze sneered, "You colluded with Bai Wuchang and intended to rebel. The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble!"

"I didn't!" Chu Yun argued loudly, "I was wronged!"

"Humph, you're about to die, yet you still dare to be stubborn!" A trace of murderous intent flashed in Chu Ze's eyes, "Come here, take him to the prison and wait for your punishment!"

The Imperial Guards took Chu Yun away.

There was total silence in the Golden Palace. All the ministers lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.

Chu Ze glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I know that some of you are also colluding with Chu Yun. I will give you a chance. If you confess voluntarily, I will forgive you. Otherwise, once I find out, I will never let you off easily!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers knelt down and expressed their loyalty to the emperor and their determination to do so.

Chu Ze snorted coldly. He knew that among these people, there must be Chu Yun's accomplices. But he didn't have time to check them one by one. He had to stabilize the political situation first, and then slowly settle accounts.

"Dismiss the court!" Chu Ze waved his hand and turned to leave the Golden Palace.

He returned to the imperial study and immediately summoned the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, ordering him to continue tracking down the whereabouts of Old Man Tianji and Chu Yun's other accomplices.

As night fell, Chu Ze sat alone in the imperial study, looking out the window at the dark night sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. This struggle has just begun... Suddenly, he felt dizzy, his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness...

When Chu Ze woke up, he found himself lying on the bed with a splitting headache. He tried hard to recall what happened before he fell into a coma, but he couldn't remember it.

"Your Majesty, you're awake!" a familiar voice came.

Chu Ze turned around and saw that it was his personal eunuch Xiao Dezi.

"What's wrong with me?" Chu Ze asked.

"Your Majesty, you suddenly fainted last night. The imperial physician said that you were overworked and needed a good rest." Xiao Dezi replied.

Chu Ze rubbed his temples. He felt as if he had had a very long dream, but he could not remember the content of the dream.

"How is Chu Yun?" Chu Ze asked.

"Your Majesty, the King of Chu has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, awaiting your decision," Xiao Dezi replied.

Chu Ze nodded. He had to deal with Chu Yun’s matter as soon as possible, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

"Go to the Golden Palace!" said Chu Ze.

In the Golden Palace, Chu Ze sat on the dragon throne, looking at Chu Yun who was kneeling below, his eyes full of disgust.

"Chu Yun, do you admit your guilt?" Chu Ze asked coldly.

"Brother Emperor, I am innocent!" Chu Yun cried, "I have never thought of treason. Someone is framing me!"

"Framed?" Chu Ze sneered, "You colluded with Bai Wuchang and intended to rebel. The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble!"

"Brother, I really didn't!" Chu Yun cried even louder, "I am loyal to you, brother, and I have no second thoughts!"

"Hmph, you're about to die, yet you still dare to be stubborn!" A trace of murderous intent flashed in Chu Ze's eyes, "Come here, drag Chu Yun out and behead him!" "Royal brother, please spare me! Royal brother, please spare me!" Chu Yun struggled desperately, but to no avail.

The Imperial Guards dragged Chu Yun out.

There was total silence in the Golden Palace. All the ministers lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.

Chu Ze glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I know that some of you are also colluding with Chu Yun. I will give you a chance. If you confess voluntarily, I will forgive you. Otherwise, once I find out, I will never let you off easily!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers knelt down and expressed their loyalty to the emperor and their determination to do so.

Chu Ze snorted coldly. He knew that among these people, there must be Chu Yun's accomplices. But he didn't have time to check them one by one. He had to stabilize the political situation first, and then slowly settle accounts.

"Dismiss the court!" Chu Ze waved his hand and turned to leave the Golden Palace.

Back in the imperial study, Chu Ze felt exhausted. He rubbed his temples, trying to wake himself up.

Suddenly, he remembered what happened before he fell into a coma. He seemed to have a dream in which he returned to modern society and lived an ordinary life.

"Could it be that I really just had a dream?" Chu Ze murmured to himself.

He shook his head, trying to get this ridiculous idea out of his mind.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard requests to see you." Xiao Dezi said.

"Let him in." Chu Ze said.

The commander of the Jinyiwei came in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have found out the whereabouts of Elder Tianji."

"Oh? Where is he?" Chu Ze asked.

"Your Majesty, Old Man Tianji is hiding in an inn in the capital." The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard replied.

"Okay, I'll go meet him right now!" A gleam of light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes.

Chu Ze brought the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to the inn.

They came to old man Tianji's room, but found the room empty.

"What's going on?" Chu Ze asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, I don't know either." The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard knelt on the ground in fear.

Chu Ze looked around and found a letter on the table.

He opened the letter and saw the following words:

"Chu Ze, do you think you can catch me? You are too naive! I am right next to you, but you don't know it! Hahahaha..."

After reading the letter, Chu Ze's face changed drastically.

"Come here, block the entire city and search for old man Tianji!" Chu Ze roared.

The Imperial Guards immediately took action, blocked the entire city, and began searching for Old Man Tianji.

However, Old Man Tianji seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and could not be found.

Chu Ze returned to the palace, feeling uneasy. He knew that Old Man Tianji must be plotting something.

He must find old man Tianji as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Just then, Xiao Dezi ran in in a panic.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The Empress... The Empress she..." Xiao Dezi said breathlessly.

"What happened to the Queen?" Chu Ze's heart sank, and he had a premonition that something bad had happened.

"The Queen...she committed suicide!" Xiao Dezi cried. (End of this chapter)
