Zhu Yuanzhang has been stubborn and indifferent all his life. There is nothing he can’t let go of in this life.

Then maybe there are only three things.

Ming Dynasty, Prince Zhu Biao, Queen Ma.

These three things can be said to be the only concerns in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Now when he saw Chu Ze telling the date of the death of Prince Zhu Biao so conclusively, Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't stand it anymore.

He started from scratch and built such a huge and glorious business.

It can be said that it has been a glorious life.

However, Zhu Biao is the continuation of his glory.

It can be said that everything Zhu Yuanzhang is doing now is paving the way for his son.

However, after the road was healed, I suddenly heard that my son would die in the near future!

And he actually walked ahead of the old man himself.

The three greatest sorrows in life: losing a father in early life, losing a spouse in middle age, and losing a son in old age.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is about to take two out of three.

How can he accept this?

So at this moment, when he looked at Chu Ze standing in front of him, the old god was still there.

Zhu Yuanzhang also made all the promises he could think of.

Luxury clothing, good food, high officials and generous salaries are not a big deal in his eyes. The only thing that really matters is Zhu Biao's safety.

However, he also ignored one point.

"Your Majesty, you'd better save a little on high officials, good salaries, fine clothes and food... After talking for a long time, you still don't believe that I come from the later generations, or that it's your hair that prevents you from death, such as the iron scroll.

You've gone out and you haven't even considered this issue yet."

"You sent that thing to those meritorious officials. Indeed, it seems that you are showing your benevolence and righteousness, letting these old subordinates know that you do not forget the old friendship."

"I gave them such a life-saving iron roll, which is considered a life-saving thing."

"But in fact, there is only one life, which is why it is particularly precious. You have issued a death-free iron scroll, which is equivalent to everyone thinking that they have two lives. There are certain things, and the natural fear will be reduced.

”

"They act unscrupulously and become extremely arrogant."

"I come from the later generations, and I know everything that happens later. Your iron scroll to avoid death is completely a life-saving talisman. Almost all those who received the iron scroll basically lost their lives."

"If you give me ten this time, I will die quickly and miserably!"

"...."

As a latecomer, Chu Ze naturally knew that none of the promises made by Zhu Yuanzhang were valuable.

It can be said that the greatest advantage of this self-made emperor is that he is both good and bad at face.

What he said with his front foot can be regarded as farts with his back foot.

The promise I make to you today will be the reason to kill you tomorrow.

This is Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang...

An iron-blooded and ruthless emperor.

Chu Ze, who is well aware of all this, can say that he has already taken everything lightly.

It was just like when he first traveled through time and learned his identity.

Although I am just a ninth-grade junior master bookkeeper.

But Chu Ze had no doubt that he would die.

In the Four Major Hongwu Cases, the interrogation methods of Zhu Yuanzhang’s Jinyiwei were extremely simple and crude.

Arrest a suspicious person and send him to prison, where he will be severely tortured and all kinds of fancy criminal methods will be used directly on you.

Then he forced his accomplices to confess.

And the way they forced the Communist Party was quite strange.

I’ll ask you directly, who is your accomplice? If you can’t tell, then the torture will continue.

Until the name comes out of your mouth.

Many people who were arrested and imprisoned were actually innocent at all, but under severe punishment, in order to avoid suffering any physical pain, they had no choice but to say random things.

Like someone who has lent him money, met him, heard his name...

No matter if he is an accomplice or not, as long as you know him, he will confess. As long as you confess enough, you will naturally not have to suffer physical pain.

All, as long as you are an official in the court, once the four major cases break out, there is a 90% probability that you will be dead!

This is why Chu Ze immediately wanted to commit suicide when he knew that he had become a courtier under Emperor Hongwu.

As for resigning and running away, that is basically courting death.

"Your Majesty, actually you don't need to worry too much. Since I told you in advance, Prince Zhu Biao went to Zhaxi for inspection and died of illness when he came back."

"Then you know this now. If you don't let him go in the future, there shouldn't be any big problems."

"As for what kind of disease the prince is suffering from, it's hard to say specifically. The records say it's wind-cold. So you can take precautions yourself. I don't have any medical skills, so there's nothing I can do."

"Anyway, just do your best and obey fate."

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to ask?"

After Chu Ze finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned.

Of course, the reason why he frowned was not because Chu Ze was helpless about the future death of Prince Zhu Biao.

It's because he mentioned the issue of the iron scroll to avoid death.

The death-preventing iron scroll is equivalent to giving those heroes an extra life, but as Chu Ze said, there is only one life, and everything is precious, so that those ministers know how to be afraid.

Only when you have some scruples will you restrain your behavior.

And after this extra life, it seems...

After Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it briefly in his mind, he was basically convinced of what Chu Ze just said.

Anyone who has an iron scroll in his hand will basically lose his life.

He no longer doubts this.

And as the exchange gradually deepened, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more convinced that the young man in front of him was really a person from later generations.

Otherwise, how could someone who couldn't understand a word of his writing see all these hidden dangers so clearly?

Moreover, Chu Ze's attitude of being indifferent to life and wanting to die is obviously not an act.

"Okay, since you said so, we will obey you! I won't give you the death penalty or anything like that."

"However, I will tell you one thing very clearly now. We will not let you die. At least for now, we will not let you die. We still want you to live well and live nourishingly."<

/p>

"What you told me is that in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Biao'er died of illness... I will keep you until the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu! Before that, have you stayed alive and heard?"

"..."

When he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chu Ze, who was originally prepared to take poison or drink a drug and end his miserable journey through time, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang on the throne a little strangely.

Then he asked a question.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to say that if you keep me until the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, if the prince dies, let me be buried with you... Or, if the prince survives the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, you can sacrifice me to heaven.

Something like that!"
