Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 7
The atmosphere in the hall became a lot awkward in an instant, Zhu Houzhao was also embarrassed, and Xie Qian was even more embarrassed. He had never talked for so long before, and Zhu Houzhao had never come so early.

"Your Highness, I'm disrespectful!" Xie Qian bowed quickly.

"You can't thank the teacher. Thank you for teaching me. I have worked hard and thought hard, and my stomach is empty. I didn't notice it. It is really my fault." Zhu Houzhao bowed quickly and said: "Although today's intentions are still unfulfilled, I dare not It is not the way for students to let Master Xie teach Ben Gong on an empty stomach!" Zhu Houzhao turned to look at Zhang Yong who was serving behind him: "Chuan Shan, Ben Gong wants to eat with Master Xie."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Hearing Zhu Houzhao's order, Zhang Yong quickly bowed and said, "Your servant will make arrangements now!" After speaking, he turned and left.

Zhu Houzhao asked Xie Qian to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Master Xie, why don't we play a game of chess? Just waiting for them to pass on goodness, I am a little hungry."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Xie Qian was pleasantly surprised. His highness had never been so close to him before, but Xie Qian was very happy, and quickly said: "Since your highness is interested, I am naturally willing to make a fool of myself!" Said He bowed and stood aside.

Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile, and then said: "Then let's come together!" Zhu Houzhao pulled Xie Qian to the side.

Soon Zhang Yong set up the table and got everything ready. Of course, the two of them played Go. Zhu Houzhao said coquettishly: "Master Xie, you have to let me go. In addition, I have to go first." Let's go, thank you, don't blame me for not respecting the teacher."

With Zhu Houzhao's ten-year-old age, it's no problem to say such words, but this kind of coquettish tone will make Xie Qian like it more.

In fact, Xie Qian really liked it better, and said with a smile: "Then invite your Highness first, but if your Highness wants your subjects to back down, that's not okay, this chess game relies on real skills!"

The master and apprentice get along harmoniously.

The news spread quickly. After all, Xie Qian hadn't returned from teaching Zhu Houzhao, which even alarmed Zhu Youtang.You must know that Xie Qian usually goes to teach Zhu Houzhao, let alone so long, even the normal time cannot be guaranteed. Basically, Zhu Houzhao will use various reasons to skip class, and it is not once or twice to pretend to be sick. It is really very strange like today rare.

When Zhu Youtang learned that Xie Qian hadn't come back, he was still a little worried. Did something happen?
Soon the news spread that Zhu Houzhao not only listened to the class carefully, but also played chess with Xie Qian, and was going to stay with Xie Qian for dinner.

After hearing the news, Zhu Youtang was shocked. Is this still his son?Although this should not be said by his father, Zhu Youtang still couldn't help thinking in this direction, isn't his son going to torment Xie Qian?Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang was really worried, what if something happened?Xie Qian is an important minister.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youtang still didn't think it would work, so he decided to go and have a look, otherwise he was really worried, so he stood up and said to the eunuch Tan Chang beside him, "Go to Xianyang Palace!"

When Zhu Youtang arrived at Xianyang Palace, he heard laughter from a long distance away. It was the voice of his son and Xie Qian. Hearing this voice, Zhu Youtang was slightly taken aback, and then walked in quickly.

After walking in, Zhu Youtang saw Xie Qian playing chess with Zhu Houzhao. The two were talking and laughing, as if Zhu Houzhao had lost.Seeing this scene, Zhu Youtang heaved a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became indifferent, and then he said with a smile: "Emperor, Xie Aiqing's chess skills are very high, don't play tricks after you lose!"

Hearing Zhu Youtang's words, Xie Qian and Zhu Houzhao realized that Zhu Youtang was coming, and they stood up quickly.

Seeing that the two were about to salute, Zhu Youtang waved his hands and said: "Forget it, forget it, don't bother, let's be more comfortable, if I disturb your chess game, then I will be a bad guest!"

"Father is wrong. Although my child's chess skills are not as good as Xie Shi's, I still have to learn this game like Xie Shi. Don't talk about such unskilled things as playing tricks when I lose. How can Huanger do it?"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, both Zhu Youtang and Xie Qian laughed. Zhang Yong also walked in from the outside at this time, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the meal ordered by His Royal Highness is ready."

After hearing this, Zhu Youtang said with a smile: "Then hurry up, I will eat the emperor's meal here today!" He said with a look of eagerness to try.

The three monarchs and ministers had dinner together, and then Xie Qian went back, Zhu Youtang also left satisfied, and Zhu Houzhao returned to his room, lying on the bed, and there was no smile on Zhu Houzhao's face.It is still very important for the emperor to gain favorability. It can attract truly patriotic talents and talents who work hard for the country.

In the following days, Zhu Houzhao continued to increase his favorability, and the civil servants praised him a lot, and some people have already written letters to praise Zhu Houzhao.

Especially those teachers of Zhu Houzhao, who praised Zhu Houzhao a lot. Zhu Houzhao's attitude is getting better and better.

Maybe Zhu Houzhao in the previous life couldn’t stand it, but for Zhu Houzhao in this life, it’s nothing at all. For Zhu Houzhao who has experienced 20 years of exam-oriented education, such a learning atmosphere and such a teacher are impossible to have in a dream of.Zhu Houzhao's favorability has soared here, and he also released the news that he eradicated the zoo and changed it to the martial arts field.

Although civil servants look down on military generals, this matter cannot be said. After all, Daming still has to learn the lessons of Song Dynasty, and the status of military personnel is not that low.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to learn martial arts and exercise his body, so there was nothing wrong with it. Zhu Youtang happily gave him a sum of money, and even selected several teachers for Zhu Houzhao, all of whom would accompany Zhu Houzhao to practice martial arts.Originally, Zhu Houzhao thought that he could get a few big insiders, but Zhu Houzhao was disappointed. There was no Sunflower Collection, and there was no Tiangang boy skill.

Zhu Houzhao's series of changes made people very happy, but some people were not happy. This person was Liu Jin. Compared with other eunuchs, Liu Jin's ambition was not small.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were many eunuchs who self-castrated and entered the palace after they became adults. Among them, there are three most famous ones, one is Wang Zhen, one is Liu Jin, and the other is Wei Zhongxian. Have you concluded any rules?The bottom is down and down, giving yourself a knife, winning is a future, they are not like orphans who can't eat and are castrated into the palace, just to survive, they are born to pursue power.
