Chapter 25: So What About Luck?
Wang Zhi stared blankly at the small back in front of him, and a warm current surged through his body instantly. Who is Zhu Houwei? A noble man from Tianhuang, who is destined to be rich and noble in his life, and who does not care about the life and death of others. What about you?
Regardless of whether he is the Governor of the West Factory or the Superintendent of the Liaodong Army, isn't he still an incomplete eunuch in the final analysis? Tears flowed from Wang Zhi's eyes, and he gently grabbed Hua Houwei: "Your Highness, you don't have to do this to me, I am an incomplete eunuch."
This person deserves no favor from His Highness!"
Hua Houwei was angry, and he was really angry: "Bah! Wang Zhi! You are born noble, even if your body is disabled, you are no longer a human being? Didn't Tai Shigong also receive a knife? Who dares to say that he is not upright?"
Hong Zhi said with a gloomy face: "Zhu Hou Wei! Don't you regret it?"
Hua Houwei blurted out without thinking: "I will never regret it!"
Hongzhi stopped looking at Hua Houwei and just shouted outside: "Come on, take down Wang Zhi!"
Hua Houwei became anxious. He yelled and blocked the door: "Who dares?"
Hongzhi slapped the table: "Zhu Houwei!"
Hua Houwei was about to argue when he felt a sweetness in his chest, his body went limp as if he was in the clouds, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell softly to the ground.
Hongzhi was shocked: "Quick! Call the imperial doctor!" Wang Zhi picked up Hua Houwei, with tears streaming down his face.
When Hua Houwei woke up, it was already the time when the lanterns came on. Hongzhi, Empress Zhang, and Zhu Houzhao all breathed a sigh of relief. Empress Zhang glared at Hongzhi, and Li Yuanshi nodded and stopped: "Your Highness is fine. But your body is too weak and you must take good care of it.
."
When Queen Zhang was about to ask, Hua Houwei asked weakly: "Where is Wang Zhi?"
Hongzhi was furious, but seeing Hua Houwei's weak eyes and Queen Zhang's angry expression, he still whispered: "Weier, don't worry so much."
"No! If Wang Zhi is not here, I will not take medicine or eat!" Hua Houwei's eyes were calm, but his tone revealed a firmness that could not be refuted.
"You!" Hongzhi shouted angrily, but lowered his voice: "Weier, don't be stubborn!"
Hua Houwei shook his head slowly and with great effort: "No! I can't even protect Wang Zhi, how can I still survive?"
Tears welled up in Queen Zhang's eyes, and she burst out suddenly: "Your Majesty! Isn't he just Wang Zhi? So what if he just follows Wei'er's will? Is the world in chaos?"
Hongzhi stamped his feet and swung his sleeves: "That's it, I don't care."
Hua Houwei finally relaxed. His eyelids couldn't bear it anymore, but he still said slowly: "Call him over."
Empress Zhang hurriedly shouted: "Ask Wang to come straight here!"
Wang Zhi knelt in front of Hua Houwei, crying. Hua Houwei stopped talking, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, in the Fengtian Palace, Hongzhi looked through the mountains of memorials. Xiao Jing came over and asked He Wending for mercy: "Your Majesty, He Wending has always been a bit pedantic. Last night, the Dongchang had preliminary investigation results. He Wending just couldn't see it.
I am accustomed to Wang Zhi's behavior in the past and deliberately create difficulties for Wang Zhi, not because I have any ill intentions towards the Queen Mother."
Hongzhi was about to reprimand, but he remembered what Hua Houwei did last night, and pondered for a moment: "Xiao Banban, what do you think?"
"I think a small punishment is enough and this matter should not be made public."
"Well, I'll think about it again."
Suddenly, a young eunuch ran out of the door. Xiao Jing frowned and greeted him. The young eunuch said a few words to Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing was shocked, turned around and ran to Hong Zhi: "Long live Lord Qiu, he's gone!"
Hongzhi's ears were ringing and his heartbeat was beating. He didn't stand up for a moment. He just stared and asked, "What? Say it again!"
"Lord Qiu Junqiu is gone! His eldest son is announcing his funeral at the Meridian Gate!"
Hongzhi covered his face, feeling sad in his heart. Qiu Jun worked conscientiously all his life and had a clear understanding of the political situation. The "Extensions of the University" was written when Hongzhi succeeded to the throne. He made a detailed statement on a series of general strategies for governing the country, such as music, sacrifices, education, regulation, punishment and constitution, strict military preparation, border control, and success, which were deeply appreciated by Hongzhi. Unexpectedly, we discussed government affairs together yesterday, and today we Yin and Yang are separated!
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with it?" Xiao Jing reminded Hongzhi that the Qiu family was still kneeling at the Meridian Gate and it was not advisable to stay too long.
Hongzhi took away his hand and ordered in a tired voice: "Man, I'm gone, just to make you sad. It's just a matter of choosing a fourth-grade official to protect the coffin and return south. Alas, Mr. Qiu has worked hard all his life, why did he go like this?"
Xiao Jing took the opportunity to say: "Then what should He Wending do?"
Sure enough, as Xiao Jing thought, Hongzhi shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, He Wending is indeed pedantic, just look at it and clean it up."
He Wending was unlucky. This time he offended the Queen Mother, and Her Second Highness was able to come out of the East Factory intact, which shocked everyone. The eunuchs in the palace all looked at He Wending with admiration, but this also laid the foundation for a fatal disaster in the future. Root seedlings.
In the middle of the unitary hour, Hongzhi put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and moved about, and was about to return to Kunning Palace. Xiao Jing received the report and said to Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, Master Qiu's coffin has set out. In addition to the platinum coins given by the emperor, There are only tens of thousands of volumes of books.”
Hongzhi was startled and stood there blankly. After a long while, he sighed: "Xiao Banban, I will have a day off tomorrow. Qiu Junte will be promoted to the Grand Tutor of Zuozhu Kingdom. His posthumous title is? Well, Wenzhuang."
When Hua Houwei woke up again, Wang Zhi's old face appeared in front of him. Hua Houwei pushed away the surprised Wang Zhi and said, "Master, don't scare me. It's time to clean up your face."
Wang Zhi laughed, but his tears fell unsatisfactoryly: "I don't have a face like the number one, so what does it matter if I'm handsome or not? Your Highness, are you feeling better?"
"Soft! Boring!" At this moment, Hua Houwei's stomach rumbled a few times, and Hua Houwei continued, "Still hungry!"
Wang Zhi ran out immediately. After a while, Queen Zhang came in personally carrying millet porridge: "Good boy, Wei'er, let's have some porridge."
After drinking the millet porridge, Hua Houwei gained some strength. He pointed at the drawings and said: "Wang Zhi, stop staying around me and quickly implement the heating matter. Why are you worried about my mother being here?"
After Empress Zhang waited for Wang Zhi to leave, she said with a smile: "Weier, I was worried about Wang Zhi before, but now it seems that you have a good sense."
Hua Houwei chuckled: "Mom, I know what you want to say. Don't worry, my eyes are not on that chair. My brother and I will always love each other! Hey, why are these words so awkward?"
For three days, Wang Zhi did not come back. Hua Houwei took advantage of this time to take good care of his body, and felt that his body was gradually getting off the edge of the dangerous cliff.
