The night deepened.
The Forbidden City seemed to have fallen asleep. There was no movement at all.
However, Old Zhu's study was still brightly lit.
Chu Nan reeked of alcohol as he stood in the middle of the study and looked at Old Zhu.
"Did you drink?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Nan and asked in disbelief.
Who was he? He was the emperor.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, how many people dared to drink before coming to see Old Zhu?
He could count them on one hand.
Moreover, it had been an hour since Old Zhu sent someone to call Chu Nan.
Old Zhu understood immediately.
Chu Nan was definitely late on purpose.
If it was any other time, he would have been angry long ago. But today, for some reason, he could not vent his anger.
It was as if something was affecting his emotions.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and there was actually a meaningful sneer.
Chu Nan awkwardly smiled and said,"Hehe, please don't blame me, Your Majesty!”
"I haven't seen much of the world. To be honest, the wine here is much better than the wine in my era.”
"I accidentally drank too much. I'm sorry I'm late.”
Just as Chu Nan finished speaking, he felt two cold gazes staring at him.
Chu Nan turned his head around. Other than Crown Prince Zhu Biao, he also saw a burly man with slightly dark skin.
His body carried an air of Jianghu that was incompatible with the Imperial Palace, as if he was a wild grass in Jianghu.
Between his eyebrows, he had some similarities with Old Zhu.
Was this also Old Zhu's son?
"Your Highness, this is…Aren't you going to introduce him?" Chu Nan asked.”
Zhu Biao frowned slightly,"This is the King of Yan of my Ming Dynasty."”
After confirming Chu Nan's identity as a transmigrator, Zhu Biao's attitude was much more relaxed than during the day.
However, Chu Nan was shocked.
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, was the famous guy who launched the Battle of Jingnan.
When he came back to his senses, he thought about it. He was just about to give a spoiler about the Battle of Jingnan, but he came too. It was really interesting!
Zhu Di's face was stern and mighty, and his eyes were like those of a fierce tiger.
At this moment, Zhu Di was also sizing up Chu Nan.
Although he had not seen what happened during the day, he had heard about it.
Zhu Di was extremely curious about Chu Nan, who came from 700 years in the future.
"Hi, Your Highness Judy, how are you?”Chu Nan happily greeted him and called out the homonym of the English name given to Zhu Di by the netizens in the future.
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment before nodding.
Although he couldn't tell the difference between Zhu Di and Judy, he felt that something was strange and couldn't put his finger on it.
"What exactly happened?" Zhu Di thought to himself…
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and sat back down. He scrutinized Chu Nan from head to toe as if he wanted to see through him.
During the day, although Old Zhu had already believed 90% of it, he still had some doubts.
But now, Old Zhu had completely believed him. The way he looked at Chu Nan was completely different.
His gaze was as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
"I say, Your Majesty." Chu Nan felt goosebumps all over his body from Old Zhu's gaze."Don't look at me like that. I'm not as good as Long Yang!”
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Chu Nan's words almost caused Old Zhu to spit out a mouthful of blood!
Even Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, who were at the side, could not help but choke.
Good heavens.
Long Yang's good!
To think that he could say it!
Was this kid really not afraid of death, or was he just talking nonsense when he was drunk?
Old Zhu's face turned green and white. His breathing was heavy and he was about to go berserk.
He took a few deep breaths in a row before forcefully suppressing the urge to slap someone with the soles of his shoes.
"Your Majesty, did I say something wrong? I might be…"
"Shut up!" Old Zhu was so angry that he was panting.
Chu Nan saw that Old Zhu was angry and quickly said,"Alright, alright, alright. I'll shut up, I'll shut up. Your Majesty, don't be agitated.”
" Pfft!" Zhu Yuanzhang had just taken a sip of tea when he choked on Chu Nan's words.
"Chu Nan. Chu Nan…you, you want to anger me to death?! Today, I…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he jumped up and wanted to hit someone.
"Father, Father! Calm down! Calm down!" Zhu Biao quickly went up to stop Zhu Yuanzhang.
He thought to himself, I haven't even asked about the serious matter yet. Don't kill him first.
"Chu Nan, you're drunk, don't spout nonsense.”Zhu Biao scolded as he hugged Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Boss! Let go of me!" "Let go!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily. If I don't slap him today, I won't be called Zhu Yuanzhang.”
"Father! Business is important, it is important." Zhu Biao quickly said and whispered a few words into Zhu Yuanzhang's ear.
It was unknown what Zhu Biao said, but Zhu Yuanzhang's anger slowly calmed down. He sat back on the chair, but his phone was still holding the soles of his shoes.
"Chu Nan," Zhu Yuanzhang said in a bad mood,""I won't stoop to your level since you're drunk. We'll just treat what happened just now as nonsense.”
"Now, I have a few questions for you. Answer them honestly!”
Chu Nan chuckled." If Your Majesty has anything to ask, feel free to ask. However, let's make this clear first. It's still the same sentence. Don't be anxious. If you hear something you don't want to hear, don't be angry.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly and he said,""I understand! You don't have to tell us!"
After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang asked again,"Chu Nan, you told us today that the Great Ming Dynasty would eventually fall after two hundred and seventy-six years, right?”
"That's right, Your Majesty. You asked me to tell you the truth. I'll answer whatever you ask. You can't blame me for this.”
Chu Nan quickly said.
Although he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had no way to kill him, torturing him was a piece of cake.
Hence, Chu Nan could not speak too impudently.
Moreover, he had already offended Zhu Yuanzhang. At this moment, he could not take advantage of him.
He wanted to have enough authority with Old Zhu. He had to open and close.
It could not be too excessive, nor could it appear too weak.
Zhu Yuanzhang took another deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He looked at Chu Nan and said,
"Chu Nan, now I want to ask you, how did the Great Ming Empire fall?”
"I'm not talking about that guy called Li Zicheng. Even if there's no Li Zicheng, there's still Zhang Zicheng and Wang Zicheng!”
"I want what you said, the root cause of the fall of the Great Ming Dynasty. I want to change everything from now on.”
Chu Nan nodded and asked,"Does this mean that His Majesty believes in my identity?"”
He needed Old Zhu to admit it in front of him.
This was him manipulating people's hearts.
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment before finally nodding his head."That's right, I believe you. Now, answer my question.”
"If your answer is really useful, I will naturally satisfy your desire to live in luxury and wealth.”
"But if your answer is useless…I won't kill you, but don't ever leave this palace.”
"Now tell me the root cause of the fall of the Great Ming Dynasty!”
