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

"Spare his life?" Chu Ze repeated this sentence, his tone full of sarcasm. "He rebelled and attempted rebellion, his crime is unforgivable! How can you ask me to spare him?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Ning was just confused for a moment and was bewitched by others. He is not a bad person by nature. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!" Princess Changle's voice was filled with tears, and tears slid down her cheeks. She looked so pitiful.

Chu Ze's heart was moved. This woman was really good at acting. However, this pitiful look reminded him of some interesting things.

He walked up to Princess Changle, looked down at her, stretched out his finger, and gently lifted her chin: "Oh? You said he is not a bad person? Then tell me, what is not bad about him?"

Princess Changle was startled by his sudden action, her body trembling slightly, but she still suppressed her fear and said: "Prince Ning... Prince Ning rebelled, but he never killed innocent people. He just..."

"You just want to sit on my throne, right?" Chu Ze took over her words with a cold tone.

Princess Changle bit her lip and said nothing, which was considered as her agreement with Chu Ze's statement.

"Hahaha!" Chu Ze suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter full of sarcasm and disdain. "What a man who has never killed innocent people! He rebelled, which is the biggest killing of innocent people! He wants to sit on my throne, so he wants to make the people of the world suffer! How dare you say he is not a bad person?"

Princess Changle was intimidated by Chu Ze's aura and dared not speak anymore.

Chu Ze looked at her trembling, and suddenly a trace of boredom rose in his heart. He shook her chin away and turned to walk in front of King Ning.

King Ning was already pale with fright at this time. He looked at Chu Ze with fear in his eyes.

"Chu Ze, you...you will die a horrible death!" he said tremblingly, his voice hoarse.

Chu Ze sneered: "It's not your turn to worry about my life or death."

As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword directly at King Ning's throat.

"No! Don't kill him!" Upon seeing this, Princess Changle rushed forward and stood in front of King Ning.

Chu Ze's sword stopped in front of Princess Changle's chest, only an inch away from her heart.

"You...what are you doing?" Princess Changle looked at Chu Ze in horror, her voice trembling.

Chu Ze looked at her, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "Why, are you heartbroken?"

"I..." Princess Changle was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Chu Ze smiled and took back the sword in his hand: "I said that I would leave you a breath for me to breathe. Now, I have changed my mind."

Princess Changle was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Chu Ze meant.

Chu Ze looked at her and said word by word: "I want you to kill him with your own hands."

"What?" Princess Changle widened her eyes, her eyes full of disbelief.

"I'll give you a choice," Chu Ze continued, "either you kill him with your own hands and I'll spare your life. Or I'll kill both of you right now."

Princess Changle looked at Chu Ze, then looked at Prince Ning behind her, and fell into a dilemma.

Prince Ning looked at Princess Changle with despair in his eyes. He knew that he could not escape today.

Princess Changle took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and seemed to have made some decision.

When she opened her eyes again, the hesitation and fear in them were gone. Instead, there was a sense of determination and coldness.

She slowly stretched out her hand and took the sword from Chu Ze...

Princess Changle took the sword, and the cold touch of the hilt made her shudder. She looked at Prince Ning, with a complicated look in her eyes. The love she once had, now only left helplessness and sadness.

Prince Ning closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death to come. He knew that Princess Changle would not kill him. She was so kind and gentle, how could she do that?

However, the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.

He opened his eyes in disbelief and saw that the sword in Princess Changle's hand had pierced his throat.

Blood gushed out, staining Princess Changle's clothes red.

"Why..." King Ning used up his last bit of strength and asked with difficulty. Princess Changle did not speak, but silently drew her sword.

Prince Ning's body slowly fell down, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Chu Ze looked at this scene with a satisfied smile on his face. He walked up to Princess Changle and patted her shoulder gently: "You did a good job."

Princess Changle ignored him and just stood there blankly, letting the blood drip.

Chu Ze looked at her distraught appearance, and suddenly a hint of interest arose in his heart.

"You are smart," he said. "You know how to choose."

Princess Changle raised her head and looked at Chu Ze, her eyes full of hatred: "You...you will not die well!"

Chu Ze laughed loudly: "It's not your turn to worry about my life or death."

He said this and turned away, leaving Princess Changle alone with the corpse of her lover.
"Someone, cut off this bitch's tongue and send it to the Music Bureau." Chu Ze ordered without even turning his head.

Princess Changle's body trembled violently when she heard this. She knew that what was waiting for her would be an even crueler fate.

……

Three days later, Chu Ze led a large army and marched towards the border of the Yuan Dynasty.

When the Yuan Emperor heard that the Ming Emperor was leading the army in person, he was terrified and immediately sent envoys to ask for peace.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Yuan Dynasty requests to see you." Eunuch Li, the chief eunuch, bowed and reported.

Chu Ze sat on the dragon chair and asked casually, "What is he doing here?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is willing to cede territory and pay compensation, but only asks Your Majesty to withdraw his troops," said Eunuch Li.

Chu Ze sneered: "Cede land and pay compensation? Does he think I'm a beggar?"

"So what Your Majesty means is..." Eunuch Li asked cautiously.

"Tell him that I want him to come to Ming Dynasty in person and kneel down to beg for mercy." Chu Ze said domineeringly.

"This..." Eunuch Li hesitated, "I'm afraid the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty won't agree."

"If he doesn't agree, I will destroy the Yuan Dynasty!" A cold light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes.

Eunuch Li didn't dare to say anything else and quickly retreated.

……

After the Yuan envoy returned, he told the Yuan Emperor exactly what Chu Ze had said.

After hearing this, the Yuan Emperor flew into a rage: "How can this be possible! Chu Ze is going too far!"

"Your Majesty, calm down," the Prime Minister advised, "The Ming Dynasty is now so powerful that we should not confront it head-on."

"Then what do you say we should do?" asked the Yuan Emperor angrily.

"I think it would be better to agree to Chu Ze's request first and then plot revenge later," said the prime minister.

The Yuan Emperor pondered for a moment and finally agreed to the Prime Minister's suggestion.

……

A few days later, the Yuan Emperor came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty with a group of ministers.

Chu Ze sat on the throne room, looking at the Yuan Emperor kneeling below, with a playful smile on his face.

"Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, do you admit your guilt?" Chu Ze asked condescendingly. (End of this chapter)
