eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 172 He dare not go to the East Palace!
Inside the curtain, Liu Jin didn't know how the prince was feeling now.

He also knew about the matter of Qianqing Palace yesterday. The great uncle originally wanted to push away the Zhejiang matter but failed, and now he chose such an ending.

It is obvious that there is a problem with Zhejiang's affairs.

Over the past few years, they have also known the prince's temperament, such as bumping into him unintentionally, or accidentally breaking a bowl while working on weekdays, the prince is fine.

The most important thing is this kind of state affairs. Once someone has a problem, the ten layers of skin will be peeled off.

When they are eunuchs, it is a good thing to encounter such a thing, as long as they are sure and work hard, nothing will happen.But it's not a good thing, it's just that it's not easy to talk about personal relationships. If something big happens, you can only admit it.

No matter what, always follow the prince's hair.

"Your Highness..." He uttered again.

"Let's change clothes."

Zhu Houzhao replied like this.

Woke up suddenly, and now I can't sleep.And the follow-up of this matter has to be dealt with.

"His Highness, wait a little longer, and the slaves will go and wake them up."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. You come to change the clothes for Bengong."

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao had lifted the curtain, and to be honest, the sky is still a bit chilly, especially at this point in time.But he went straight to the wooden shelf where the clothes were hung.

Seeing that Liu Jin could no longer kneel, she hurriedly seized this opportunity.

The crown prince's regular attire was a red dragon robe with a round collar, a jade belt around his waist, and a black crown on his head. To keep warm, Zhu Houzhao also wore a dark blue cape with round velvet.

"Is Zhang Yong here?"

Liu Jin replied with a smile, "Yes. Your Highness wants to see him?"

"Well, he will work harder today, let him come over."

"It's not hard work, it's the blessing of slaves to serve His Highness."

Zhu Houzhao didn't respond to this sentence, and let him go to find it first.

Then he came to the gate of the hall and looked up, it was a sky full of stars.

The bustling and noisy Forbidden City is so quiet at this point in time.

In the corridor on the right, I don't know who lit a lantern and hurried over.

"This Liu Jin, tell him not to disturb, but he still wakes you up."

It was Qiu Yun who came here, and a few court ladies and eunuchs were also needed.

Qiuyun is now a few centimeters taller than Zhu Houzhao, but the difference is not too much. The girl looks thinner than when she was young, and her eyebrows are very delicate.

"Your Highness has changed their clothes. If the servants are still under the covers, they will be called evil slaves if word spreads." Qiu Yun approached the prince, held a lantern and took a look at Zhu Houzhao, then stretched out his hand to touch the prince's chest Those folds in front.

Silk clothes are very easy to wrinkle after being washed once.

Unless you wear one piece and throw one piece away, the royal family is like this.There are all kinds of solemn activities such as sacrifices and court meetings, and Zhu Houzhao inevitably throws away a lot of clothes that are only worn once.

But ordinary clothes are generally worn several times.

Qiu Yun wrinkled the corners of his mouth, "His Royal Highness doesn't sleep because of state affairs, why are you working so hard?"

"I'm fine. How's your brother's injury?"

When Hongzhi was ten years old, Zhu Houzhao said to help her find her younger brother. Fortunately, Qiuyun was old and had memories, and knew that he was a domestic servant of a local family surnamed Xu.

It's just that when he found it, this kid was a bit miserable, because he was surrounded and beaten, and lost his little finger on his left hand, but he still wanted to beat him, very fiercely.

After arriving in the capital, he was still uneasy, and was thrown into the barracks later. Hongzhi went there in 14 years, and suffered several large and small injuries. The man was cut in the back.

This cut was not light, and now he has to recuperate in the capital.

Because of his extraordinary bravery in battle, Yang Shangyi gave him a hundred household officers with excellent horses, and with the permission of his superiors, he brought a hundred elite soldiers with him. Well, now he can play tricks on the grassland.

Qiubaihu was about to become famous.

But Yang Shangyi has repeatedly said that this person is not easy to manage, and he has to fight fiercely with others in the military camp.

He only lost once, and it was Ma Yihuai's eldest son Ma Sheng. He really couldn't beat him.That can't be helped, Ma Sheng is also a person who has been beaten since he was a child.

Since then, Qiubaihu has restrained himself a little.

At this time, Qiu Yun also felt a little warm when he saw the prince mentioning it, "He's pretty solid, and everything is fine in the medical hall."

Zhu Houzhao felt relieved when he heard this, and walked out again.

The place where he lived was an open space outside the gate of the temple. Later, he asked someone to set up stone tables and benches on the right side. When the weather was good, he didn't want to be bored in the house.

There are several wing rooms on the left hand side, which are very simple.

Except for Qiu Yun, everyone else kept a close distance from him.

The prince is like this, much more silent than usual.

"Your Highness, this will freeze..."

Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand, "Come here with your hand."

The girl's family seemed to understand something, her heart fluttered, but she was a little shy, and vomited like a mosquito, "Your Highness, there are still people..."

There are people.

But Zhu Houzhao glanced back,
For a moment, everyone's heads were lowered.The movements are very neat.

"Just to let you know, I'm not cold."

Qiu Yun held back her shyness and put her hand on it. Only after touching it did she know that His Highness's hand was soft and warm.

Perhaps because of the heat, Qiuyun felt a little dry.

But even though her whole body was crawling like ants, if she wanted to let go, she was still a little reluctant, so she took two steps forward, so that it would be easier to pull it up.

After a while.

Zhang Yong also arrived with Liu Jin, and they retreated after seeing the situation.

"return!"

So the two of them knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao again with their heads down.

"Are you still sleepy?"

Both Liu and Zhang shook their heads, "Go back to Your Highness, I'm not sleepy anymore."

"It's always a good thing to be able to wake up. Tomorrow morning, someone will never wake up."

Liu Jin had already said it on the way, so Zhang Yong understood what he said.

Liu Jin said again: "Your Highness, is there going to be another person in Zhejiang right now?"

"The ministers of the Ministry of Rites have committed suicide. Who should I replace now?" Zhu Houzhao thought about his people in Zhejiang, "Wei Bin's matter, you all should take precautions. I put Wei Bin in the position of guarding eunuch. I put hope in him. But look what he has done? Every time I think about it, I feel ashamed."

When Liu and Zhang heard this, their hearts were also tense.

"Zhang Yong."

"The servant is here."

"I called you here because I have something to do." Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back, "Stop sleeping for a few hours, and leave for Zhejiang tomorrow to find Wang Hua, and arrest Li Yancai and others first. Afterwards, go to Wei Bin and find a way to get him to tell who he has been in contact with in Zhejiang in the past few years, and who is sending him money, remember, bring the soldiers of Tengxiang Zuowei."

"The slaves obey!"

"In addition, I will ask Mao Yuwen to take Jin Yiwei with you. Sometimes you have to listen to Mao Yuwen. Few people can beat him if you are bold and careful. But you are still always responsible, and control Mao Yuwen."

Mao Yuwen sometimes kills innocent people indiscriminately.

I didn't find it at first, but now Zhu Houzhao knows it.

"Zhang Sheng didn't dare to go, we Donggong people dare to go, go and stab Zhejiang Tiantian! Let's see who can turn the sky of the Ming Dynasty upside down! , I must pull it out this time and have a look! Anyone who dares to stop it, please report it to me, I am not afraid of him!"

Fuck!
Although Zhu Houzhao, the prince, does not have the prestige of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, he is a prince after all.

Within the borders of the Ming Dynasty, now that he is eyeing this matter, who else can turn it against him?Even if it's reversed, there's a Tengxiang Zuowei!
Hearing this, Zhang Yong was full of enthusiasm, roaring and roaring.

The crown prince sent his confidant out just to be serious.

"Your Highness! This servant will definitely handle the errands beautifully this time, and earn back the embarrassment that Wei Bin lost!"

"There's still some ambition in that."

Zhu Houzhao also found out, several times, he wanted to send civil servants to solve it by political means,

For example, sending Yang Tinghe to Qingzhou at the beginning is not too different from sending Wang Hua to Zhejiang this time.

But in the end, the civil service system of the Ming Dynasty always forced him to use factory guards and solve the problem with military force.

So now he understands more and more why the eunuchs were particularly troublesome in the Ariake generation.

This is the law of mechanics, because civil servants are very powerful, so they forced themselves a powerful opponent.The emperors of all dynasties had no choice but to delegate power to the eunuchs.

"Go, let the whole army set off."

"Yes!"

Zhu Houzhao looked up at the bridal chamber, and some bright colors had already emerged.

What happened to Zhang Sheng must have caused an uproar today.And judging by the time, the emperor must have woken up.

"Liu Jin," he called out slowly,
"The servant is here."

"We're going to meet the emperor."

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi also received the news. Like Zhu Houzhao, he was stunned when he first heard it. He looked around blankly and asked, "Where is the prince? Does the prince know?"

It's not that he hasn't encountered officials who commit suicide in the years since he took the throne, but Zhang Sheng is the Minister of Rites after all.Its impact may not be small.

How to deal with it is also a test.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao came here on his own initiative, and he saw him not long after.

The prince didn't say anything else, "Father and sons already know about it."

"Didn't he be fine during the day?" The emperor was puzzled, "Going away so suddenly, I think there must be a lot of discussion in the government and the opposition."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Yes. Zhang Sheng is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he is also a minister who relies heavily on his father. What will happen to him after his death will definitely be brought up by the court. My son thought that the minister of the Ministry of Rites would kill himself in order to avoid the restlessness of the officials. It is better to prepare for his funeral in accordance with the etiquette system, so as to reassure people's hearts."

After all, the dead are the greatest.The case can be investigated, but the funeral must also be done.Otherwise, there should be an uproar.

"Father is still recuperating recently, so there is no need to worry too much in your heart. The affairs of Zhejiang are left to my ministers, and the heavens of Zhejiang, no one can overthrow it!"

Emperor Hongzhi's nose was sour, and he tightly grasped his son's hand, all kinds of emotions were already silent.
