"So, you have your mission. Hurry back to Beijing and implement what we just discussed. I have left five hundred people for you in the Cooking Wolf Army. You can use my money from Sanxin Company as you wish. Hurry up and recruit troops.

,Daddy won’t stop you.”

After the brothers discussed it, Zhu Houzhao got on his horse and went straight to the capital. Hua Houwei still slowly embarked on the road to join the feudal clan.

After Hongzhi finished reviewing the memorial, he didn't know what to do for a while. Should he go back to Kunning Palace? Empress Zhang had not given him a good look these days, and he was a little impatient when it came to dealing with Hua Houwei. In the past, when Li Guang was here

, he could still practice meditation, but once Li Guang died, all those magical methods became a joke. After hesitating for a long time, he stood up and went straight to Cining Palace.

"You're finally here, sit down. You all get out!" Queen Mother Zhou was not surprised at all by Hong Zhi's arrival. Instead, she drove everyone away. She and Hong Zhi were the only ones in the huge palace.

"Grandma, did I do something wrong?" Only in front of Queen Mother Zhou did Hongzhi put down all his masks and asked in confusion this old woman who had given him everything!

"Wrong? Haha, Youtang, when has the emperor ever made a mistake? Wei'er ran away, not because you asked him to be the King of Wu, but because that is where he can spread his fists and gather strength! Youtang, you have been the emperor for some years,

What do you think you really have in your hands?"

Hongzhi had never thought about these problems. As soon as the Empress Dowager Zhou asked, he quickly counted. The more he counted, the more he sweated. Finally, he put down his hands in despair: "It turns out, I don't have anything!"

The Empress Dowager Zhou sighed: "My grandson, have you ever thought about why Taizu treated his ministers with a life-and-death attitude without considering the consequences? How come the scholars in the world don't make a fuss when the twelve stripes of silver are peeled off and stuffed with grass? Chengzu dominates the world.

Which civil servant dares to offend Yan Zhijian? Will the next Renzong and Xuanzong still have the majesty of their ancestors? Your father, haha, you saw it yourself, and you just pinched your nose to vindicate Yu Qian, why is this? "

Hongzhi was dripping with sweat, and it took him a while to say one word: "Bing!"

Empress Dowager Zhou laughed loudly: "Yes, that's the soldier! Now that the Ming Dynasty has millions of soldiers, who has the final say?"

Hongzhi's back felt cold and he replied bitterly: "Bingbu! No, scholar!"

Empress Dowager Zhou's laughter still echoed in the empty palace, like the low cry of a night owl, making people's hair stand on end. "Yes, the literati have actually taken control of the Ming Dynasty. What are you going to do?"

"I, I, I don't know." Hongzhi finally revealed his weakness. The Taiping Emperor for more than ten years did not develop the temperament of killing and decisiveness, but instead made him obsessed with the position of benevolent monarch and could not extricate himself.

"Hmph! In this regard, you are not as good as Wei'er! Look at the soul-chasing gun, look at the Mineral Investigation Bureau, look at Wang Zhi, which step is Wei'er not taking steadily? One bird in the hand is worse than a hundred birds in the forest! Youtang, let Wei'er do what he wants, haven't you seen his heart clearly in the past few years?"

Hongzhi frowned and didn't speak for a long time. The Queen Mother Zhou snorted, and then he slowly spoke: "Grandma, I have always had doubts about Wei'er. Without him, it's too abnormal! Abnormality is a monster!"

Empress Dowager Zhou was so angry that her eyebrows twitched and she pointed at Hongzhi: "You, you! You are too suspicious! You can't even be a father when you want to be an emperor? What's wrong with Wei'er? Are you right or wrong? One country, the world, coking coal, beheading

Moon knife, telescope, soul-chasing gun, outside the Great Wall... One after another, is he just showing off? If he swallows the benefits in one gulp, he will turn around and become an abnormality and become a monster! Zhu Youtang, Zhu Youtang, of course

How can the emperor treat you like a human being?"

Hongzhi was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word! The old lady was right, how much benefit did Hongzhi get from Hua Houwei? When the emperor already owns the world, what does he care about most? Isn't it just his reputation before and after his death? The appearance of Hua Houwei, Hongzhi's future

The reputation of the emperor is indispensable, and the title of a great emperor is absolutely indispensable! Wenzhi martial arts, Hongzhi Zhongxing, maybe a posthumous title such as ancestor. But why are you so worried about Hua Houwei? Hongzhi thought for a long time

, I have to admit that it is my son who is too good that I dare not face him directly.

"Grandma, my grandson is wrong." Hongzhi seemed to have returned to the precarious years, the days when he and his grandmother were dependent on each other, and finally put down the emperor's airs for more than ten years.

Empress Dowager Zhou's expression softened, and she leaned back tiredly: "Youtang, I'm getting old, and I might go to see the Zhengtong Emperor sometime. The old lady has nothing to think about anymore, she just hopes that the world of Lao Zhu's family will get better and better.

, the people are getting better and better. Wei'er is a capable person, only he can deal with the civil servants, your decision is right. Just don't be bitter, Hou Zhao, that kid looks careless, but in fact he keeps everything in his heart and doesn't say anything.

."

"Grandma, you are in very good health and will live a long life. Houzhao is also my son, how could I treat him badly?"

"Haha, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. He probably knows Hou Zhao's life experience himself. Without Wei'er, Zhang wouldn't have done anything, but now? Haha, you can figure it out yourself, I don't care.

No, I don’t want to care about it, I’ll kiss Wei’er too.”

Hongzhi could only nod with a wry smile: "Grandma, don't worry, Wei'er and Hou Zhao are both my flesh and blood. Besides, they are fine. Now Hou Zhao caught up with Wei'er. I don't know what they said. Hou Zhao is very happy.

I’m excited to be back.”

"Well, that's good! Go and spend more time with the queen. This woman, her husband's more time with her is more effective than any panacea. How can a husband and wife have an overnight feud? Go ahead, go ahead, the old lady can hold on, I want to see it

Is Wei'er's child also such a monster?"

Hongzhi returned to Kunning Palace, hesitated at the entrance of the palace, and walked into the palace. Empress Zhang still had a cold face, sitting in front of the bed, holding a flower stretcher and embroidering.

"Zi Tong, Hou Zhao is back."

"Um"

"Zi Tong, Wei'er and Hou Zhao have been talking for a long time. They should have a case."

"You don't need to say these words to a woman with long hair like me! Your Majesty, please rest in peace."

"Zitong, I just came back from Cining Palace. My grandmother told me a lot. Don't worry, I won't treat Wei'er badly."

"Alas!" Empress Zhang put away the flower bandage and looked up at Hongzhi seriously: "Your Majesty, look at you, you are only thirty years old, and you already have gray hair on your temples. I know that I am an anomaly for thousands of years. I am the only one among all the queens.

The happiest one among them. I should not ask for anything more! But Your Majesty, I am also Wei'er's mother. My son has traveled thousands of miles and my mother is worried. How can I let go?"

Hongzhi smiled slightly and hugged Queen Zhang: "Zitong, Wei'er did this on purpose. We all underestimated Wei'er, haha, you see, within three to five years, Wei'er will definitely give us a big surprise.
