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

Chu Ze was the only one left in the room.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in them.

"Eunuch Zhang..." Chu Ze murmured to himself, "I will definitely avenge you..."

……

A month later.

Chu Ze's body has fully recovered.

He summoned all civil and military officials and announced something.

"I want to make Eunuch Zhang my queen!" Chu Ze's voice echoed throughout the hall.

"What?!" All the civil and military officials were suddenly in an uproar.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!" An old minister stood up and said, "Eunuch Zhang is just a eunuch, how can he be the mother of the country?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter concerns the country and people of the Ming Dynasty. Please think twice!" Another old minister also stood up and said.

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more!" Chu Ze said coldly, "Whoever dares to oppose, I will kill all his clans!"

All the civil and military officials were suddenly silent and dared not speak anymore.

Chu Ze looked at them and sneered in his heart.

He knew that these people were a bunch of fence-sitters, and as long as he showed enough authority, they would listen to him obediently.

"I'm tired, let's adjourn the court!" Chu Ze said, then stood up and left the hall.

……

Royal study room.

Chu Ze sat on the dragon throne, looking at the memorial in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master requests to see you." A young eunuch walked in and said.

"Let him in." Chu Ze said.

"Yes." The young eunuch stepped out.

After a while, the national teacher walked in.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to me about?" asked the Imperial Master.

"I want you to help me find something." Chu Ze said.

"What is it?" asked the Imperial Master.

"Something that can bring a person back to life." Chu Ze said.

"This..." The state teacher's face changed, "Your Majesty, is there really such a thing in the world?"

Chu Ze didn't say anything, but just stared at the imperial teacher.

The Imperial Master felt uneasy when he was stared at by him. He knew that if he couldn't find what Chu Ze wanted, he would end up in a miserable state.

"Your old minister...Your old minister will do his best!" the imperial teacher said hurriedly.

"Yeah." Chu Ze nodded, "You can go down."

"Yes." The imperial teacher left the imperial study.

Chu Ze looked at the imperial teacher's back, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well that there was nothing in this world that could bring the dead back to life.

But he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the national teacher could create a miracle.

Because he really missed his "Queen" too much... After the Imperial Master left, Chu Ze leaned back on the dragon throne dejectedly, his mind full of Zhang Gonggong's charming smile. He clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh. He was the emperor, but he couldn't even protect the person he loved. How could he bear this?
"Eunuch Zhang, just wait, I will definitely bring you back to life!" Chu Ze said gritting his teeth, his tone full of determination.

He stood up suddenly, walked to the window of the imperial study, looked at the scenery outside, but his heart was at a loss. He knew that the "art of resurrection" mentioned by the national teacher was just a mirage, but it was his only hope.

A few days later, the Imperial Master came back with a message that he had found a hidden master who might be able to revive Eunuch Zhang. Chu Ze was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately asked the Imperial Master to lead the way to visit the master in person.

This expert lived in the deep mountains and old forests. Chu Ze and his party traveled through mountains and rivers for several days before arriving. This expert had white hair and a youthful face, and he looked like an immortal. He was obviously an otherworldly expert.

"Master, I would like to ask you to resurrect my queen." Chu Ze said straight to the point.

The master stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, life and death are determined by fate. If you go against the will of heaven, you will have to pay the price."

"I don't care about the price. As long as I can resurrect the queen, I am willing to pay anything." Chu Ze said firmly.

The master nodded and said, "Since Your Majesty is so persistent, I will make an exception this time. However, I need something."

"What is it?" Chu Ze asked hurriedly.

"Nine Netherworld Fire." said the expert.

"Nine Netherworld Fire?" Chu Ze frowned. He had never heard of such a thing.

"The Nine Netherworld Fire is the fire of the underworld. It can only be found deep in the underworld." The master explained.

"The underworld..." Chu Ze's face changed. The underworld is the netherworld. If a living person enters the underworld, he will be in danger of death.

"Your Majesty, if you really want to resurrect your queen, you must go to the underworld." said the master.

Chu Ze was silent, he was weighing the pros and cons. On one side was his beloved queen, on the other was his own life, how should he choose?

In the end, his love for Eunuch Zhang overcame his fear of death.

"Okay, I'll go!" Chu Ze said resolutely.

The master nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I have a map here that can guide you to the underworld. However, the underworld is extremely dangerous, so you must be careful."

Chu Ze took the map and nodded solemnly.

The next day, Chu Ze set out with the national teacher and a team of guards, heading to the legendary underworld.

The underworld was gloomy and spooky, filled with ghosts. Chu Ze and his companions moved forward cautiously, fearing that they would alarm the ghost messengers of the underworld.

They walked for a long time and finally came to the depths of the underworld. There was a huge volcano here, and the crater was spewing black flames, which were the Nine Netherworld Fire.

"Your Majesty, that is the Nine Netherworld Fire." The Imperial Master pointed at the volcano and said.

Chu Ze nodded, then jumped into the crater.

"Your Majesty!" The imperial teacher and the guards were horrified and tried to stop it, but it was too late.

After Chu Ze jumped into the crater, he felt a scorching breath coming towards him. He quickly circulated his true energy to resist the burning of the Nine Netherworld Fire.

The Nine Netherworld Fire was so powerful that even Chu Ze felt a little exhausted. He gritted his teeth and persisted, walking step by step towards the depths of the volcano.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived at the bottom of the volcano. There was a huge black lotus with a blazing Nine Netherworld Fire burning in the center of the lotus.

Chu Ze knew that this was what he was looking for.

He stretched out his hand, trying to pick the black lotus. At this moment, a huge black hand stretched out from the magma and grabbed Chu Ze's hand.

"How dare you, a bold mortal, break into the underworld and steal the Nine Netherworld Fire!" a sinister voice sounded.

Chu Ze looked up and saw a giant who was hundreds of feet tall standing in the magma, with black flames burning all over his body. It was the patron saint of the underworld - King Yama!

"I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I come here today only to obtain the Nine Netherworld Fire and resurrect my queen." Chu Ze said fearlessly.

"Hmph, mortal, who do you think you are? How dare you negotiate with me!" King Yama roared angrily and exerted force with his hands, trying to crush Chu Ze's hand.

Chu Ze groaned, feeling that his hand bones were about to break. But he still refused to give up, holding on to the black lotus tightly. (End of this chapter)
