Chapter 158 There are some labels that cannot be torn off after being pasted on.

"You guy, are you really going to treat me like a fool?"

After Chu Ze left Lingyun Pavilion, he came to the house that Hu Weiyong sent him as promised.

As expected, this time, many treasures were once again placed in the entire front hall.

And compared to the last time, the things placed this time are all small but priceless gadgets.

Chu Ze even saw a night pearl the size of a fist.

This kind of thing is not necessarily something that can be obtained with money.

And these are undoubtedly the things that Hu Weiyong is going to give to Chu Ze, asking him to take some of the things that belonged to the King of Qin, Zhu Xi.

Facing these rare things, Chu Ze just looked at them, and then threw them aside.

The temptation of money is that after you have money, you can enjoy all kinds of colorful things in this world.

You can experience the highest enjoyment that ordinary people can't even imagine in their lifetime!

It is precisely because of this that money is full of temptations for people.

Because money equals supreme enjoyment.

but
For a person of later generations, the only thing in this era that can move Chu Ze's face is probably listening to music.

After all, Chu Ze has no interest in hunting on horseback.

In Chu Ze's opinion, BMW is not as good as BMW.

The luxurious carriage is still not as good as BMW.

Delicacy from mountains and seas, he can now eat as much as he wants, if he needs it.

Even if the prisoner sits and wears the beast, even if he eats it, no one will say anything.

Besides these, is there anything else that can tempt him in this era?

Killing for fun?
He, Chu Ze, was not a psychopath.

Looking for thrills?

What could be more exciting than being a behind-the-scenes driver after time travel?
This is promoting an era and a period of history!

Isn't that exciting enough?
Therefore, in Chu Ze's eyes, money is not as important as later generations.

Because his status at this time is already different.

These things are just a need for Chu Ze.

Dividing the booty into two parts, Chu Ze took the part that was easy to cash out or could be used directly.

For the other parts, he loaded them into the carriage, and immediately swaggered and disguised himself.

Pulled and went to the palace.

When Zhu Biao saw these things Chu Ze brought, he didn't even know what to say for a moment.

In just three days, Chu Ze was greeted by Hu Weiyong twice.

Moreover, these two salutes did not seem to be light.

This guy is so unscrupulous that he has become lawless!

"These are used to bribe the King of Qin, so I keep the parts that are easy to cash out or can be spent directly, and the rest are here."

"This side accounts for the majority, so I've earned money for running errands."

"King Qin is still wearing the body of a crime, so I won't give it to him, and send it to you directly for confiscation."

Facing Zhu Biao, who was counting his belongings, with an increasingly weird expression on his face, Chu Ze didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his actions at all.

Zhu Biao and his cronies hand-picked the finances, while Chu Ze sat at the table where he usually handles government affairs, drinking tea leisurely.

With a face full of indifference, he told the fact that he still retained a copy.

"Hehe... If the second child knows about this, I guess he will thank you very much."

After the financial inventory was almost finished, Zhu Biao turned his head to look at Chu Ze.

But as soon as he turned around, Chu Ze handed him a cup of tea.

"Hey, just don't tell him about it!"

"Tell me, what does he want to bribe the second child for?"

After Zhu Biao took the teacup Chu Ze handed over, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, driving him off his desk.

Taking advantage of the trend, he flattened the memorial that was wrinkled by Chu Ze.

Then sat back on the seat.

"What else can he do? He just wants the second child to get that ink-greedy guy from the household department out of prison."

"It is estimated that people are in the prison. They can't do anything, and they can't inquire about the news. After they get it out, there is a high probability that they will be silenced."

Regarding Zhu Biao's question, Chu Ze did not intend to hide it, and directly stated what he knew.

And by the way, he also mentioned something to Zhu Biao.

"I really didn't know before that this Zhu Yong was actually a relative of Zhu Liangzu. This time when Hu Weiyong approached me, he brought up this matter."

"Yongjiahou Zhu Liangzu?"

When Zhu Biao heard Chu Ze mention Zhu Liangzu's name, he frowned immediately, and then he spoke with some doubts to confirm.

And Chu Ze nodded along the way.

"Yes, that's the unlucky one."

"."

Zhu Biao, who was just mentioning it along the way, when he heard Chu Ze address him this way.

The corner of his mouth twitched suddenly.

After that, he put down the teacup, stood up and pulled Chu Ze up, ready to go out.

But just two steps away, he seemed to have thought of something again. After turning back, he picked up a memorial on the table, and threw it into Chu Ze's hand.

"Look at this first, let's go, follow me to see the father."

"Hey.. What are you showing me about your memorial? Tell me to put down my teacup first."

In the palace, in the backyard.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has put himself in a semi-retired state, he has nothing to do all day except wandering around. His greatest hobby is to chat with Queen Ma and tease his grandson.

The cowpox experiment has entered the third step.

It will take another half a month at most to have a complete result, and by that time, one of Lao Zhu's worries will be temporarily settled.

And once the matter of cowpox has come to a conclusion, then the next step is the matter of the Wa country.

Lao Zhu had repeatedly confirmed to Chu Ze many times that the silver content of the Wa country, even if it was mined with all its strength, would be enough for the Ming Dynasty to mine for hundreds of years.

As long as the Wa country can be taken down and silver can be mined smoothly.

The problem of precious banknotes in the Ming Dynasty can be solved logically.

After the war, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to worry about how to settle the Japanese kingdom for the time being.

He intends to leave all these matters to Zhu Biao.

Since we want to delegate power, we must exercise Zhu Biao.

Then it can't just be an internal problem, but also an external matter, and he has to let Zhu Biao try to deal with it.

Of course, he will give some advice from the sidelines, but the final decision is left to Zhu Biao, who will stand on the emperor's side and make his own decision.

"Chongba, the smile on your face seems to have increased a lot recently. Why, did you think of something happy again?"

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Empress Ma, who was instructing Zhu Xiongying to do her homework and was also studying with Zhu Xiongying, raised her head suddenly, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang staring at her with a smirk on her face.

Empress Ma just remembered that she hadn't talked to Lao Zhu for a long time.

So after stroking Zhu Xiongying's little head, she got up and sat beside Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Sister! We are thinking that we are almost retired now, you say. How about we have another child?"

"You're not ashamed of being old. How old am I. I know nonsense all the time."

Empress Ma, who originally wanted to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang, raised her hand angrily when she heard what he said, and slapped him hard on the shoulder.

And Lao Zhu, who had been slapped, looked at Empress Ma who was smiling a bit shyly. He was just joking, but now he became a little moved for no reason.

This retirement life is boring anyway, if you can really have a child in old age, wouldn't it be a great thing in life?

But when Lao Zhu leaned forward and wanted to make fun of it again, suddenly there was a coughing sound behind the two elders.

"Cough cough... My son Zhu Biao, pay respects to father emperor and mother queen!"

"Well, Chu Ze greets His Majesty and Godmother!"

The sudden appearance of Zhu Biao and Chu Ze made Empress Ma feel a little embarrassed by what Lao Zhu had said.

After getting up from Lao Zhu's side in a little panic, the more she thought about it, the more she felt a little ashamed. Taking advantage of Zhu Biao and Chu Ze's sight, she raised her foot and kicked Lao Zhu's calf.

At this moment, Lao Zhu immediately grinned his teeth in pain.

"Oh my"

"Father, are you alright?"

"It's okay, I just got angry and have a toothache these two days."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who obviously reached out to touch his calf, but still said with a serious face that he had a toothache.

After Zhu Biao and Chu Ze looked at each other, they just smiled, as if they had seen through it.

After the pain in his leg gradually eased, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze and Zhu Biao.

After Zhu Yuanzhang gradually delegated power, many things had to be done by Zhu Biao himself.

Not tiring, but time consuming.

Not to mention Chu Ze, he was very busy all day long.

The two of them deliberately came to this harem to find him today, and they didn't think they came here to exchange feelings.

"Now you two can be regarded as going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so tell me what are you going to do today?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, there was a bit of disgust in his tone.

He had just started living in retirement, and he was really not used to it.

Every day with nothing to do, seems extraordinarily boring.

But when he gradually got used to it, Lao Zhu also found that it was actually quite good to have nothing to do every day.

Especially when he was teasing his grandson with Empress Ma, Lao Zhu didn't want anyone to disturb him.

"Father, my son came here today mainly to let you see this."

Naturally, Zhu Biao could hear the disgust in his father's words.

However, for today's matter, it is impossible for him not to come to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, the matter is of great importance, and it is not something he, the prince, can handle completely for the time being.

While speaking, Zhu Biao took the memorial from Chu Ze.

Then handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly after seeing the actions of the two of them.

Obviously, Zhu Biao was somewhat uncomfortable about showing the memorial to Chu Ze.

It is the emperor's business to read the memorial.
How can this be seen by anyone?
But then Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved.

Anyway, it doesn't make much difference whether to show it to Chu Ze or not.

This kid knows a lot of things, so he doesn't care about it.

And when Zhu Yuanzhang received the memorial, the more he looked at the content, the more he frowned.

"Collude with Japanese pirates, looting the coast. Then pretend to exterminate the Japanese pirates before paying the army's salary, and then eating the people's fat and people along the coast! Damn it for colluding with foreign thieves! This is our prime minister, this is our arrogant soldier!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading the memorial in his hand, he directly slammed it to the ground.

When he was speaking, the sinister look on his face made Chu Ze beside him feel a chill down his back.

Zhu Biao also showed him the memorial just now on the way here.

The general meaning is that Hu Weiyong's party members colluded with the Japanese pirates along the coast, and after giving these Japanese pirates details of the deployment of troops along the coast, let these Japanese pirates specialize in weak defenses.

Once captured, they began to burn, kill and loot.

After looting, the people on the shore began to dispatch soldiers on the grounds that they were attacked by Japanese pirates.

Soldiers move, as long as they move out, every step is money.

These people can make a lot of money out of it.

Then, the money looted by the Japanese pirates was also given to them.

And after the coastal defenses were changed, they gave the Japanese pirates the details of the deployment of their troops again, allowing these sea bandits to attack weak spots again.

to loot again.
Under this kind of cooperation between the inside and the outside, not to mention laboring the people and wasting money, but also fattening foreign thieves and harming the people at home.

Such an unconscionable thing, but now Zhu Yuanzhang learned that it was actually his own prime minister who was behind it.
How can Zhu Yuanzhang not be angry?

How can you not be angry!
"How do you plan to handle this matter?"

After reading this memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't bear it anymore.

Hu Weiyong's faction can be said to be rotten to the root.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has canceled his plan to abolish the prime minister system, under such circumstances, dealing with Hu Weiyong has become imminent.

The longer the delay, the worse the problem will be!
"Father, what I mean is that the battle across the sea is imminent. At this time, the best situation is to stabilize Hu Weiyong instead of moving him immediately."

"When fighting across the sea, the deployment of troops will naturally move towards the coast."

"At that time, if we buy a loophole and take advantage of the trend to attract Japanese pirates to attack the weak points of our coastal garrison, we can kill a large number of these pirates at once."

"And take advantage of this matter to directly take down Hu Weiyong's faction. While attacking outside, Anne!"

"All the people involved in the incident, all the nine clans ransacked their homes, confiscated their land and finances, sentenced to beheaded and then selected those who were not involved deeply, and the vassal kings pleaded for mercy and took them overseas to develop."

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Biao was not ambiguous at all, and his eyes were also full of killing intent.

What Hu Weiyong's faction has done has exceeded the limit he can tolerate.

Colluding with foreign enemies, slaughtering the people of the country with fish and meat.
This is no longer a disregard for human life, it is a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Sin deserves death!

Zhu Biao's answer can be said to have relieved Zhu Yuanzhang's restless heart.

Zhu Biao can be cruel, which is what Zhu Yuanzhang is most willing to see.

"What about you? Did your boy bring me bad news this time, or good news? If it's bad news, I suggest you stop talking about it. We're actually in a good mood today."

After asking Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Chu Ze who was on the side.

And when he opened his mouth, Chu Ze couldn't make it right.

He has no news today!
"Father, you have misunderstood. It was my son who brought Chu Ze here this time, and it was about the Marquis of Yongjia. My son thinks that Chu Ze must have something to say."

"What did I say? I said."

"You can just say it directly. You have already opened your mouth. Do you still need me to say it?"
