eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 12 Drama ([-])

Seeing that his own face was not good, Zhang Yong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.If he was not rescued, he would not know how the crown prince would treat him afterwards.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yong couldn't care too much, so he asked one person first, "Go to Kunning Palace and report to His Highness."

Then he started hard, and grabbed the old eunuch's collar, "Old man, you can think clearly! I advise you to wait for a while to see if what I said is true or not. If you insist on executing now, After a while, your highness will come down, don't you also have to lose your life? Which one is better for you, you think about it yourself!"

After all, Zhang Yong is tall and powerful, and he also adds bravery, which is not ordinary.

"You scare... frighten me?!"

"Who scares you! We all know the rules in the palace. Falsely preaching a decree is a death penalty. Do you think I will make a joke of my own life? Or do you want to make a joke of my own life?"

His roar seemed to have some effect.

After all, the two choices faced by the old eunuch had completely different results.

"Okay, let's just trust you today, stop! Wait and see."

Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, sometimes it's not easy to speak softly, they are all hard-working guys.

"How are you two?"

It was only now that he had time to care about the two court ladies Qiu Yun and Dong Yu.

Qiuyun's lips were a little chapped, and her white forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. It seemed difficult for her to raise her head even when she was lying there.

Looking back, Zhang Yong saw that the pants on his buttocks were already a little blood-colored.

"Your Highness... Your Highness really came to save us?"

"Well. It's true!"

With Zhang Yong's affirmation,
Only then did Qiuyun weep with joy,

After all, she was just a little girl, and fear and fear must be indispensable in her heart.

"Be patient a little longer, His Highness will be here soon."

But for a quarter of an hour,
Someone really shouted, "The prince is here!"

Qiuyun and Dongyu looked at each other, their hearts settled down, they never thought that there would be a day when they would be rescued.

"Your Highness!" The previously formidable prison eunuch also panicked at the moment, "Your Highness, my servant!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to look at him, he caught sight of the two little girls lying on the wooden stool, "Zhang Yong, take the person away, the most important thing is to treat the injury."

"Yes!"

Zhang Yong let out a breath, the backbone finally arrived.

With the crown prince's words, no one would dare to obstruct him in the slightest.

It is also because of the crown prince's favor that he grasps the medicine faster.

When they arrived at the house, the imperial physician briefly looked at it, and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Highness, the two maids are only injured on the flesh, apply medicine, and let them heal for a few days."

It was really fast, otherwise he must have been killed.

"Okay, let's paint it quickly."

"Yes. The minister avoids first."

The spanking was on the buttocks, and the girls were from every family. It must not be the imperial doctor who applied it to them. Naturally, other court ladies came over with the medicine.

"Well, since there's nothing else, you can go back."

"Yes." The imperial physician took the small bag on his back and left.

In the rest of the room, the old mother who was about to apply the medicine looked at the prince with embarrassment, "Your Highness, the old woman started to apply it."

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao sat there with no intention of moving.

Qiu Yun blinked her eyes, and seemed to understand why the old maid was hesitant.Although His Highness is small, he is a man after all.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't think so. Although he was a man, he was still a child after all.

"Why don't you paint it?" The prince opened his eyes wide open, as innocent as a child.

A few of them thought, the prince probably doesn't know how to defend men and women.

So the old maid took off the cloth covering her buttocks, revealing two buttocks.

At a glance, you can find that the smooth white top is a little red, which is bloodshot, and if you look closely, it looks like a peeled nectarine, round and plump.

Of course, big is much bigger than nectarines.

Zhu Houzhao clicked his lips, "I was bleeding from the beating, but luckily I went in time."

Qiuyun's face was so red that it was about to drip water.Just look at it, how can you say it?

Could it be that he is really a child, don't he understand at all?

……

……

outside the palace,

Xie Gelao's small sedan chair landed in front of the gate of the palace, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, he could see Wang Jia returning from his trip.

Now everyone in the palace knows that the master is like the reincarnation of a Wenqu star, he has great talent, otherwise how can he gain His Majesty's attention?

In the future, I will be the prince's teacher, and in the future, I will be out of the court and into the prime minister.

And who would call him through the small curtain of the sedan chair?
This is really a strange thing, but when Wang Jia saw that it was Xie Yuqiao, he could only shake his head and smile wryly.

The two of them were in the same department in the same year, and they had been officials in Beijing for decades. They had known each other since they were young boys, and this friendship was naturally indispensable.

"Since we have arrived, we will enter the mansion, why doesn't Yu Qiao even get out of the sedan chair?"

Xie Qian didn't care about so much, he wondered in his heart, "Ji Zhi, I went to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday, did I gain anything?"

Wang Jia sighed.

The crown prince excused himself to leave while he was studying,

An old pedant like him is generally difficult to accept.

It is the first time that Dong Gong has not given a formal lecture in the cabinet yet, so he pinches his nose and admits it.

But speaking of it, I was actually disappointed.

"Go to the mansion and tell."

Actually, there's nothing surprising about it.

An eunuch entered the Xiefang Hall and said a few words in his ear, and the prince said that he had something to leave.In the early years, some naughty princes would use this method to escape class.

After hearing this, Xie Qian also felt that the taste was not right.

Originally, he thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect this one.

"The ministers and His Highness have been arguing for a long time about giving lectures in the East Palace. This time, because of His Highness's filial piety, they wanted to share His Majesty's worries and labors. Everyone realized that His Highness already wanted to study, so they gave up. In my opinion, that's the key to being willing to wait these few months."

Xie Qian was a little worried, "If... the previous one was just a trick used by His Highness to delay time, then I'm afraid it will be..."

Wang Jia was previously stuck in the etiquette of reading, and Xie Qian was more sensitive to government affairs.

Now that he heard this, he also realized that there might be big trouble later.

"Ugh……"

"The matter has not yet been settled, so Ji Zhi need not sigh so much." Xie Qian persuaded.

"Yu Qiao, I can feel that His Highness the Crown Prince is not like an ordinary child during the rehearsal in the East Palace. He looks stable and polite, teaches smart and eager to learn, and is no less intelligent than Emperor Xuanzong back then. If you have such talent, if you can If you teach well, even the current sage will be inferior in the future. But if..."

Xie Qian understood, "But if it's just a gesture of pretending to be studious, it would be a pity, wouldn't it?"

Wang Jia couldn't deny it, "It's nothing for me alone, but the loss of Ming Dynasty and the court will be great."

"Therefore, Jizhi should not sigh. Since the crown prince is a man who can be made, shouldn't you and I encourage him to teach the crown prince to be a hero for a while?"

Encouraged by this, Wang Jia felt a little less disappointed.

"There is no limit to the sea of ​​learning and hard work, I hope His Highness can also understand this truth."

During the conversation, the steward of the mansion suddenly came to report.

"Master, Mr. Xie Ge. Just now there was an interesting story in the palace."

"Oh? Tell me quickly." Wang Jia urged.

The butler said: "This matter has been spread ten to ten times. It was His Royal Highness who saved the two maids in front of the Empress. The reason for this is that the two maids acted carelessly and almost ran into His Highness... "

Hearing this, Wang Jia became nervous. He was fine when he left, and nothing will happen to him. "The collision yesterday? Is there something serious about your Highness?"

"Master, don't worry, Your Highness is fine. After returning to the East Palace, the servant asked: Why did Your Highness forgive those two maids today?"

"Your Highness said: They did it unintentionally, and I'm fine. Don't be too harsh."

Both Wang Jia and Xie Qian are very smart people. Having said that, they can probably guess why the prince was saved in front of the empress.

The crown prince is forgiving, but it's not really forgiving.

Those who care about the prince, can't they peel off those two maids?
Xie Qian guessed: "It should be time for His Highness to go down, and His Majesty and Empress have not had time to punish them in the future, so they can save people."

The story ends here, that's all it is, it's nothing.

But the housekeeper said: "So that the elders of the pavilion can know. This matter spread because His Royal Highness had foresaw the matter first. After returning to the East Palace, he ordered the servant Zhang Yong to pay close attention to the two maids. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager Empress will follow her orders." , how could it be too late?"

Wang Jia and Xie Qian looked at each other subconsciously, "Your Highness has thought about it?"

This is not simple, not just smart, but also a kind of kindness.Is it not benevolent for a prince to be willing to spend his time for a court lady?

"Yes."

The steward's confirmation made Wang Jia couldn't help clapping his hands, "It was a good talk for a while when Renzong returned from thirst in the Northern Song Dynasty. Today, I can produce two generations of Renzong in the Ming Dynasty, which must be better than Zhao Song!"

You can't understand this without reading, but who is Xie Qian?After listening to it, I laughed out loud, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Song Renzong was a highly appraised emperor. He reigned for 42 years and was deeply loved.

It is said that he returned with thirst, referring to a time when Song Renzong was walking in the back garden, and he kept looking back because he was thirsty, but said nothing.

After returning to the palace, I immediately looked for water to drink, and poured tons of large bowls down.

This made people around him wonder, it is not easy for the emperor to drink water, how could he be so thirsty?
Renzong explained: I looked back just now and found that no one prepared tea. If I asked, someone would be punished for it.

From this, everyone knows the benevolence of the emperor.

Literati probably like this kind of deeds that can be told like stories.

So the matter in the palace spread quickly.

Wang Ji was excited, drank happily, and made a great wish: "Yu Qiao is right. The prince has such virtues. I will definitely teach him with all my strength so that he can become a virtuous king comparable to Yao and Shun in the future!"

Good guy, just now he was still inferior to the current saints, but now he is comparable to Yao and Shun.

It can be seen how important the value of benevolence is in the hearts of Confucian literati.

"Jizhi, think again, His Highness took the opportunity to leave, maybe it wasn't an excuse, did you know it was because of saving people?!"

Having said that,
Wang Jia suddenly realized.

"At that time, His Highness said that he was going to Kunning Palace!" He slapped his head and laughed at himself, "It's ridiculous! I'm too short-sighted, so I sighed and lamented non-stop. It turns out that His Highness went to save people. .”

"Hahaha. This matter is joy and not worry. The sorrow in Jizhi's heart can be relieved."

The old housekeeper was also happy to be at the side, "My lord, Mr. Ge, within a few days, this matter will definitely be spread in restaurants and teahouses in the capital. By then, everyone will know that we have a holy prince in the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the world will also be blessed." gone."

Wang Jia was deeply "poisoned" by Confucianism. Once the prince really showed such morality, he would really laugh up to the sky.

However, Xie Qian fell into a new round of doubts, "This time to rescue the maid, with the Queen's love for His Highness, it is not difficult to ask for the decree to be taken back. What is valuable is that His Highness can predict in advance, and it is possible that there is really a high-ranking person behind His Highness." people?"

A seven-year-old child can think of this kind of thing before him, his wisdom is like a demon!
"Maybe it's that Yang Tinghe!" Wang Jia slapped the table, because this was the only person he thought about, and no one else had contact with His Highness.
