The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 172
Zhang Zhou heard something.

Empress Zhang seemed to want to make peace with him.

Perhaps it was Empress Zhang who discovered that Zhu Youtang was gradually slanting towards friends between his wife and friends. Empress Zhang did not dare to treat this matter with the previous arrogant and rude attitude, and began to reflect seriously and tried to eliminate the situation. Misunderstanding, in order to achieve a "win-win" effect.

If it's an ordinary family, the wife doesn't have to worry about it.

But the situation of the emperor's family is different. For the emperors of all dynasties, the most indispensable thing is women. The so-called concubines are often found, but confidantes are hard to find. Probably, the emperors of all dynasties cherish the friendship that is as light as water.

What's more, Zhu Youtang has never made friends in his life, but he is an autistic person.

It really became "brothers are like siblings, wives are like clothes".

As Xiao Jing said, Zhang Zhou knew it well.

……

……

"Hurry up, move here, and put them away neatly! What about you, didn't you eat in the morning? Did you squat in the pit and your legs went numb?"

East Palace.

Zhu Houzhao was instructing several eunuchs to carry the silver box for him.

Zhu Houzhao sent people to bring the money that Zhu Houzhao had previously deposited outside the palace to the palace. Anyway, it was no secret to his father, and he planned to use the money to show off in front of Zhang Zhou.

After the box was opened, the white money made a group of eunuchs in the Eastern Palace feel dizzy.

Gao Feng reminded: "His Royal Highness, although His Majesty no longer asks about the money, but if you move here, if the Empress finds out..."

Originally, Zhu Houzhao blackmailed Zhang's brothers, only Liu Jin among the eunuchs in the East Palace knew about it.

But as time went by, Zhu Houzhao couldn't hide the matter in front of this group of people, and the eunuchs of the East Palace gradually knew what was going on.

They were naturally afraid that the queen would know about their son blackmailing their uncle.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the rocking chair, with an indifferent expression on his face, and said: "What are you afraid of? The queen mother never comes to the East Palace, so she will never ask me where I got the money! Even if I did, I said it was the father's father. It's rewarding, what else can she do?"

Gao Feng thought to himself, you are really stubborn.

At this moment, Liu Jin hurried back from the outside.

Zhu Houzhao immediately stood up and asked, "What, is Zhang Zhou here?"

"No..." Liu Jin cried, "Mr. Zhang didn't go to Donghua Gate. It is said that he was guided by Eunuch Xiao. He and Cheng Guogong have already left the palace gate. I'm afraid...he won't be able to come!"

"What?"

Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry. Under his embarrassment, the facial features on his face were almost wrinkled together, "I clearly agreed with my father, when Zhang Zhou enters the palace, let him come to the East Palace and let him sit for a while! Now Fortunately, he entered the palace yesterday, and he was only allowed to leave the palace today, but he was not even allowed to come to the East Palace for a walk? Father, he doesn't talk about martial arts!"

"what?"

A group of eunuchs around were also anxious.

Gu Dayong hastily reminded: "His Royal Highness, be careful with your words, don't be rude."

"How about being rude? If you don't talk about martial arts, don't let people talk about it? He only cares about his own pleasure. When people come, he won't let me see him. I just say a few words about him. Is it possible for an emperor to say nothing? letter?"

Zhu Houzhao's temper came up, so he didn't care whether he was scolding the heavenly king, the emperor, or his father.

Whoever provokes the young master, the young master will not be polite!

"Bring a pen!" Zhu Houzhao said.

Several eunuchs looked at each other, Liu Jin said: "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "This palace is going to play! Participating in the impeachment of the emperor is not true!"

"Pfft..." Liu Jin almost spit on Zhu Houzhao's face.

The prince is really spoiled, and he didn't like it for a while, is he going against the gods? !Even his emperor Lao Tzu dared to participate in the impeachment. If it gets out...won't you laugh at the big teeth of those civil servants?

"Deaf? Take a pen! Study ink! Whoever doesn't work, I will kick him to deliver a letter to the emperor..."

……

……

Zhu Houzhao wrote a memorabilia written by his father, Zhu Youtang, who "does not talk about martial arts", and he wrote it himself.

After finishing writing, Liu Jin will send it off.

It was stated that it should be sent directly to the Supervisor of Rituals, and it was considered polite, and it was not sent directly to the Minister of General Affairs or the Cabinet, as it was his son to save me some face.

Liu Jin held this memorial that was not written according to the specification, and almost wanted to bang his head against the wall.

But now Liu Jin is extremely humble in the East Palace. The shadow puppet show turned into a stage play almost cost him his life. Now he can continue to hang out in the East Palace because of Zhu Houzhao's respect for him. to deliver.

After Dai Yi got the memorial, he hurried to submit it to Zhu Youtang.

After all, it is the first memorandum written by my son...not a congratulatory form, nor a summary of homework, but to scold my father...

Dai Yi thought it was ridiculous.

"His Majesty……"

Dai Yi presented the memorial to Zhu Youtang, and Zhu Houzhao frowned when he saw that it was his son's handwriting.

When he saw the content above, he frowned even more.

"Why don't you talk about martial arts?" Zhu Youtang looked sideways at Dai Yi and asked.

The son wrote a memorial to criticize his father, which is nothing in itself, but Zhu Youtang felt that his son was very straightforward. Moreover, this is the first memorial written by his son. It has extraordinary meaning and has not been taught by anyone. play.

Because no one dared to teach him to write this stuff.

Unless the person who taught him died.

Dai Yi swallowed and said: "It was mentioned in the previous martial arts storybook that people who don't practice martial arts do not follow the rules of martial arts competitions, and use more fights or sneak attacks..."

As he said that, he was rejoicing in his heart.

At any rate, this performance was not sealed, let me see it in advance, let me do my homework in advance, and know what is going on if I don't talk about martial arts, I am lucky.

After he finished speaking, seeing the emperor's face, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The prince scolded His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't understand, so I had to explain to the side, I was full, right?

Knowing is better than not knowing!
"Bastard!" Zhu Youtang slapped this prelude on the table, "I thought he was capable and knowledgeable, so he dared to write me a prelude, but he didn't understand his words, let alone his eyes!"

When the emperor scolded his son, Dai Yi could only lower his head and remain silent.

Dai Yi said: "Your Majesty, not many people know about this matter. It is estimated that only Liu Jin and servants know about it."

It probably means that if we hide this matter, people outside will not know about the scandal of this son Shen Laozi.

"However, what the crown prince said makes sense." Zhu Youtang added.

Dai Yi: "..."

Zhu Youtang continued to sigh: "I promised him earlier that when Bingkuan entered the palace, I would let him go to the East Palace to teach him some knowledge, so that he can learn more about different knowledge, but I am busy with court affairs these days, Bing Kuan is also going to teach Duke Cheng the taboos of using troops in the Northwest. That's why... Alas! The Crown Prince is not like me, he is outspoken."

Dai Yi blinked.

Judging from this, the emperor was probably afraid of that high-ranking and unreasonable father and the concubine Wan Gui who overshadowed the sky with one hand in the Sixth Palace when he was the prince in the past.

Now that the crown prince dared to break the barrier between the monarch and his subjects, and used this method to point out his fault as a father, the emperor felt very relieved.

This at least shows that the son has courage.

Dai Yi wanted to say, Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you said just now that the prince has no respect for his elders?
Just such a thing, can you still get your majesty's approval?Just because you didn't dare to write such things when you were the crown prince?

"Bring a pen." Zhu Youtang said.

Dai Yi didn't know why, but passed the brush over.

Zhu Youtang said: "Zhu Bi."

Dai Yi handed over another red pen dipped in cinnabar, but saw that the emperor was seriously "reviewing" his son's memorial.

Now Dai Yi felt even more rare.

See you soon.

After the emperor's approval was completed, he added two more sentences at the end, and then handed it to Dai Yi and said, "Go, give it to the prince. Tell him that you are brave, and tell him that I don't know how to cover up my faults. If it's my fault, it's my fault." Wrong, as compensation, let him go out of the palace for a day tomorrow. But he can only see Zhang Zhou, and all his actions outside the palace must be under Zhang Zhou's supervision. Then let someone tell Bingkuan later .”

"Your Majesty, is this... wrong?" Dai Yi didn't want to listen to such orders.

If the emperor thinks that the prince is messing around, then he can just ignore the prince's performance.

But now the emperor not only paid attention to it, but also dealt with it seriously, and even confessed his mistake to the prince himself... Even Dai Yi felt that the emperor was too humble. Is it really okay for the emperor to do this?
Zhu Youtang frowned and said, "Do you even want to learn from the prince?"

"Don't dare."

Dai Yi could only take over the reviewed memorials.

Zhu Youtang said: "Remember to tell Bingkuan, don't let the prince go to crowded places, and don't take him to dangerous places. Scholars... don't need to contact them! Now that the test has just passed, the capital likes to gossip There are too many scholars here, so let the prince learn more arithmetic...those that are not suitable for teaching in the palace...that's probably what it means."

"Yes."

Only then did Dai Yi understand.

It is said that letting the prince out of the palace is a kind of compensation, but in fact the emperor still changed his way to let the prince accept the study.

Now that Zhang Zhou's identity has been leaked, the ministers know that there is such a person, and if Zhang Zhou enters the palace, outsiders may find out, and now Zhang Zhou has not been awarded a Jinshi... Before Zhang Zhou officially becomes an official, let Zhang Zhou go Teaching the crown prince knowledge will inevitably make the lecturers in the East Palace feel that it is not in compliance with the rules. At the same time, it will also make them think that the emperor does not trust them and needs to find an outsider to teach them.

If it is to learn something while the prince is out of the palace, then there is no such worry.

……

……

East Palace.

After Zhu Houzhao wrote the Shang Zou, he actually regretted it a bit.

It's not that he thinks it's wrong to do so, but he thinks... the consequences of doing so may be very serious, and the father will probably restrain his feet again, or even increase his homework.

"I am asking for trouble for myself." Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

Liu Jin hurriedly said: "It's the servant's fault that he failed to persuade His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at him: "What does this have to do with you? Why are you so eager to admit your mistake?"

Here Zhu Houzhao was anxious for a long time.

Finally, I waited for my father's personal approval.

Dai Yi personally delivered it to him.

After Dai Yi came in, he screened all the eunuchs except Liu Jin, and then handed back the things to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Hou looked at the content above, frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Liu Jin laughed beside him.

Dai Yidao: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty thinks that your performance is somewhat reasonable, so you can go out of the palace tomorrow, but it is also agreed not to go far, and you must be under the supervision of Mr. Zhang Zhouzhang. If you have If you don't... His Majesty will ask the guards to bring you back to the palace at any time."

"Damn!" Zhu Houzhao slapped the table and said, "Father still has a bit of conscience! This time he's talking martial arts!"
