Chapter 245 The sincere son Xie Hong
Chapter 245: The sincere son Xie Hong
The relatives of the Ming Dynasty were not in power, so no one could look down on their families, that is, the relatives of the relatives of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to a good decree, for the two Mrs. Zhang, it is also considered a benefit to be an occasional way to enter the palace to talk to the empress dowager, and this benefit can not be fulfilled at any time.
However, today the two ladies didn't care about so much. Although there was no call from the queen mother and no holidays, they hurried into the palace. When they arrived at Cining Palace, they rushed in without waiting for the notification. It would be impossible to be anxious. The head of the house fell into the hands of the plague god. If it was too late, it would be a matter of whether they could come out in a hurry.
The palace ladies knew their identities. Seeing their anxious appearance, they did not dare to stop them even if they did not comply with the rules. They just sent their legs and feet to report. After all, they were relatives of the empress dowager. If they really delayed any major matter, who could afford it?
"Empress Dowager, you want to make the decision for us..." As soon as they entered the hall, the two ladies did not look up and cried directly. They felt aggrieved! The uncle's wife, such a prestigious name, but she had no matching glory at all. Don't say that she acted as a domineering, it would be great if she could not be acted as a domineering.
The Ming Dynasty was in power, and the civil servants were staring at each other all day long. It was okay for nobles to oppress ordinary people. Once they got offended the literati and officials, then wait for bad luck.
What's more, even if you oppress ordinary people, there are risks. The censors are not vegetarians. Apart from the emperor, the ones they focus on are nobles. From time to time, they will take out the black materials and shake them. After all, the censors are just making a living, and they don't reveal that they have no achievements.
Wasn’t the Shouning Marquis beaten up by Li Dongyang in the Golden Palace because of this? The old man was so ruthless that he finally moved the guy. This was so cruel!
Today is even more amazing. A jester also bullied the uncle. We can tolerate it when we were bullied by civil servants. Who told Grandpa Taizu to rule the world with the literati and officials, and civil servants were on par with the emperor? But being bullied by my close ministers is really intolerable. My master is the uncle! The queen mother's younger brother, dear!
"You are becoming more and more unruly. You can't control He Ling and Songling at home, and let them go out to spend time and drink. As a result, they listened to the words of the villain and came to make things difficult for their own families. Do you still have the face to see the Ai family?"
To their surprise, Empress Dowager Zhang not only did not get angry because of her brother being arrested, but instead taught them a lesson in a stern tone. What is this? The two Mrs. Zhang was a little confused. Could it be that her master was picked up by the Empress Dowager's father, and she was not a kiss?
The Empress Dowager doesn't like them, and they know that they themselves. Since the noble family is not very powerful, there are fewer people who are willing to marry the noble family. At least the scholars in the family are not expected to be married to the noble family. Such a family will definitely not choose to marry the noble family.
No other reason is needed, just one bad reputation is enough.
Therefore, like many relatives of noble relatives, the two Mrs. Zhang also came from a merchant family. Scholars disdained it because the status of scholars is higher than that of noble relatives, but the status of merchants is much lower than that of noble relatives. For them, it is good to have relationships and cling to each other, so how can they be picky and choose?
If you want to cling to the scholars, you have to cling to them. Merchants are self-aware. Although scholars and officials also need merchants to make money for them, they will not marry merchants. If they are willing to come to their homes as slaves, they can still consider it.
Therefore, merchants are quite keen to get married to noble relatives, and would rather be the head of a chicken than a queen of a cow. Although they are not as good as the literati and doctors, their status has improved in the end.
Empress Dowager Zhang herself was from a scholarly family and looked down on merchants. However, she was calm and would not hold on to this. However, Empress Dowager Zhang was very dissatisfied with the fact that her two wives could not control her younger brothers and asked them to go out to spend time and live in the fun.
You should know that by judging others by oneself, Empress Dowager Zhang is quite disgusted with the things that men do when they are doing outside.
Of course, Empress Dowager Zhang was not unreasonable, and he also knew that the main thing was that the two younger brothers were not good. However, the money spent on the two younger brothers alone was not enough. They often asked for money from their parents' home to subsidize, which was very bad.
Those who can't control them must also control their money bags? Empress Dowager Zhang has also read the saints, and the adults in the court know it, and she also understand it. The two Mrs. Zhang also know where the empress dowager's dissatisfaction comes from, but what can I do? Who told the empress dowager not to pull two younger brothers together?
What's more, no matter how dissatisfied, I can't refuse to save my younger brother, right? After being scolded, the two ladies stopped crying and raised their heads timidly, trying to find out the face of Queen Mother Zhang to look at it so that they can deal with it.
As a result, when they looked up, the two of them immediately understood what was going on. There was a young man sitting next to the queen mother, smiling with a handsome face, but no matter how he looked, why did he have bad intentions? If not, who else would be the emperor today?
It turned out that someone sued the criminal complaint in advance! Both women suddenly realized it, and then they wanted to cry even more. After all, they are the king of a country. How could they do such a shameless thing as a lawsuit?
No wonder the jester was so confident. It turned out that the emperor was really supporting him! But the emperor actually colluded with outsiders to deal with his uncle, so he would not be in sympathy?
"The wife... see the emperor and the queen mother." The two of them were stunned for a moment and quickly greeted them.
"Empress Dowager, although He Ling and others are not good at it, they are your younger brother after all. You can't hurt people, right? Even if they deserve it, your face is yours..."
Although she knew that someone had the advantage and had a low chance of winning, she always had to struggle for a while. Zhang Heling's wife cried again with grievance. This time she didn't say anything about saving people, so she simply sowed her to provoke her.
"If you suffer a loss and become wise, Heling and others should also learn some lessons. If you two come just for this matter, then there is no need to say more. Go back, the Ai family will have their own sense." Whether it is provoking or crying, he did not react at all when he arrived at Empress Dowager Zhang, and all he came was a cold expelling order.
Of course, no matter how calm Empress Dowager Zhang is, she is not a fool after all. The provocations of these two women are too superficial, and they have no other effect except to increase the disgust in Empress Dowager Zhang's heart.
"...I'm leaving." When the two women heard this, they knew that things were impossible. Although there were still many things that could not be understood, under the accumulation of Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhengde was on the side, so they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to leave with grievance.
When the two of them left, Empress Dowager Zhang lowered the serious expression on her face, frowned slightly and asked, "Prince, your uncle and others will be fine, right?"
If the two women didn't leave, they would definitely be shocked, because Empress Dowager Zhang was completely different from the cold and frosty appearance just now, and her tone was full of worry, and she was not inferior to the two of them. The speed of changing faces was really fast.
"My mother, don't worry, I have ever had any accidents when I do things?" Zhengde comforted me. Of course, this sentence was completely useless. Not to mention Empress Dowager Zhang, even the palace maid and eunuch beside him lowered his head and curled his lips: Who doesn't know about this Forbidden City? Long lively, you are normal for accidents, but it would be strange if you don't have any accidents.
Zhengde was completely unconscious and patted his chest to guarantee: "My uncle and his wife were confused after drinking a few glasses of flower wine in Lichunyuan. They didn't know if they were used. If they were not careful now, what should they do if they caused major problems in the future? I just let someone scare them. It's okay, and even a hair will not be missing."
After all, mother and son are in love, Empress Dowager Zhang trusts Zhengde a little higher than others, especially what Zhengde says is very compatible with her temperament. As the queen, Empress Dowager Zhang has nothing special, but she is very famous because she is Hongzhi's only wife and a monogamous emperor. In the thousands of years of history of China, there are only a few.
Because of her own experience, what Queen Mother Zhang dislikes the most is that her two younger brothers are visiting brothels and drinking wine, and secondly, they are causing trouble outside. As a result, this time, she is getting together, and it would be strange if she is happy.
What's more, Zhengde was very mature and steady in his words and affairs today, as if he had suddenly grown up, and she felt even more relieved.
Queen Mother Zhang thought about it and sighed, "Okay, if you don't suffer a small loss, you will cause big trouble in the future. When your father was here, the Ai family was afraid of causing trouble for your father, so they were always restrained. They were quite obedient. But after your father's great business, your two uncles' thoughts became active. Even if they didn't say it, the Ai family knew..."
After pondering, wiping the corners of his eyes for a few minutes, Empress Dowager Zhang said again: "The Ming Dynasty is so big and there are so many political affairs. The Ai family also knows that it is not easy for you, the prince, and you don't interfere in it at all. However, your uncle's affairs should be properly handled. Don't justify the outside court, and don't really hurt them. After all, it's your uncle..."
"My mother, don't worry, I'll let the big... capable people do this and make sure they are done." Zhengde was used to the footnotes of Xie Hong, and almost missed the words in front of the empress dowager. It was also the emotion he saw his mother's words. Otherwise, the best actor who memorized the lines would not have such a mistake.
"Your son, are you talking about Xie Hong? In the legend outside, this person's reputation seems not very good." When she said that Xie Hong, Empress Dowager Zhang frowned again. Although she didn't care about things outside and never left the palace, Xie Hong's reputation was too famous and she often heard about it.
Of course, even if she didn't want to know, someone would send the news to her, using the emperor to suppress the emperor, which is the latest strategy of the outer court.
It seems that it cannot be described if it is not good. Zhengde laughed in his heart. He couldn't even wash his reputation with the water of the Yellow River. At least he could soak it in the sea to dilute it slightly. Otherwise, why was Zhenhaibo?
"The legends outside are all lie. Mother, you don't know that Xie Hong is a dedicated person. He... Just say that when he was in Xuanfu, Yang Qu'er was both talented and beautiful, and also known as the God of Joy, which made many people in Xuanfu crazy... As a result, Xie Hong didn't even look at her directly. Now Yang Qu'er lives in Xie Hong's house, but Xie Hong didn't touch her a single finger."
Best actor Zhu Houzhao has begun to get into the state, and she starts with Xie Hong's experience from the beginning, especially in the key points, which makes her a tendency to possess Ma Ang.
From the moment Empress Dowager Zhang heard a sensitive word, yes, it was the focus. Her originally frown frown loosened, and then she leaned forward and was quite fascinated by listening. Xie Hong's experience was very legendary, and coupled with Zhengde's rendering, it was really wonderful.
"Also, a few days ago, Lichunyuan...uh, it's the brothel that my uncles like to go to the most. All the girls, including the top brands, went to Zhenbaozhai. Mother, you didn't see it. The scene was spectacular... What's the result? Mother, do you know what Xie Hong said?"
"What did you say?" After being fooled by Zhengde, the worry between Empress Dowager Zhang's eyebrows and eyes was completely gone. Instead, it was replaced by a look of great interest. If you gossip, a woman would most likely be interested.
"He said: Beauty is just a cloud in my eyes. I'll help you just in the spirit of humanitarianism." Zhengde's tone was very deep, "Mother, look, Xie Hong is so upright, how could he be a bad person?"
The eunuchs and palace maids on one side were all complaining in their stomachs. The story was very exciting, but it had nothing to do with the good and bad people.
But Empress Dowager Zhang nodded deeply: "According to what the emperor said, this young man is indeed a sincere son. He is filial and rich, and never leaves his childhood sweetheart, and can also regard beauty as a cloud... It's so good, he is such a good child."
Is the Plague God a good child! Or is it a sincere son?
Empress Dowager, what is your logic? Although the people who serve in Cining Palace do not go out often, they know very well about Xie Hong's deeds, especially Xie Hong's jokes about Wang Yue and Wang Yue sing tears in the Qianqing Palace. Everyone knows that such a person is sincere? Let's go and cheat.
Except for the supreme mother and son, everyone in the Cining Palace lowered their heads and put their mouths aside... If the person who spoke was not the queen mother, they would not have lost their composure in front of the Holy Lord. The Cining Palace would have fallen a lot and there was a lot of sorrow all over the world.
"Yes, my mother, Xie Hong also said that he would find some livelihoods for his two uncles in the future, so as to restrain them, so as to save them from being flirted with the flowers outside." Seeing that the strategy was effective, Zhengde spared no effort to beat the side drum.
"How is that?" Empress Dowager Zhang smiled kindly, very happy. "That's the best. If you have such a good child to help you, the Ai family will feel at ease. You will bring that child into the palace another day and let the Ai family see it in person."
"My mother, you will definitely like him." Zhengde was also very happy. While he liked to make trouble, he was also a very filial child. In the past, Empress Dowager Zhang was relatively strict, and every time he saw him, he was a little angry, but this time he made me happy and praised him repeatedly. How could he be unhappy?
What I said is the truth. Today I just recite the lines, so I am so happy that Queen Mother. If my elder brother comes in person, I will not make my elder mother laugh so hard? My elder brother said that this is called taking medicine and giving it to his preference.
Well, there is no problem with the mother, and there should be no mistakes on the elder brother. The next step is the last step. After completing it, you can ask for new things from the elder brother. What should I do? I have to think about it carefully.
Everything went smoothly, but after leaving Cining Palace, Zhu Houzhao felt worried.
