The next morning, it was already dawn.

It was early in summer. On the fifth day of the day, Zhang Yanling took a carriage to Dong'anmen. When he arrived at Donghuamen, the inner gate of the palace had been opened. Zhang Yanling and Cui Yuan met at Donghuamen.

Xiao Jinglao has been waiting here for a long time, and today he is responsible for the guidance.

Yang Peng had already returned to the palace earlier. As for Li Shishi, Lin Yuanfu, Xu Jie and others, they would be transferred from the Ministry of Justice, and they did not go with each other.

Just as the three of them greeted each other and were about to enter the palace together, they saw a carriage galloping towards them.

After the carriage stopped, he saw Zhang Heling jumping out of the carriage. When he saw Zhang Yanling, he seemed extremely excited. He opened his arms and wanted to rush over to hug Zhang Yanling. From a distance, he heard him shouting: "Second, you are back."

When Zhang Yanling saw Zhang Heling's situation, he couldn't help but frown.

Zhang Heling was really a bit terrible at this time.

He was wearing court clothes, probably changed his face temporarily when he went home. His face was not washed, and his beard was very different from his previous smug appearance.

"Brother, don't you come here? Brother, I thought I wouldn't see you in the future!" Zhang Yanling did not let Zhang Heling hug him, but just said with emotion, stretching out his hand to block Zhang Heling and preventing him from getting close to him.

Zhang Heling raised his face and said in a lesson tone of being his brother: "You boy know you are afraid? I see you are still causing trouble outside in the future."

Zhang Yanling said: "Brother, actually I mean, I thought my brother was harmed by someone outside, so I was afraid that I wouldn't see you..."

Zhang Heling was stunned.

Then he put down his arms with open arms and cursed: "Get out of here!"

I used to be sympathetic to my younger brother's image, and my true colors were revealed in an instant.

"Brother, are you okay? Judging from your appearance, I'm afraid you've been wandering outside for many days? Why do you look even more miserable than me?"

Zhang Yanling looked up and down at Zhang Heling.

Zhang Heling said with a resentful look on his face: "Don't mention it. Since Brother Wei heard that you were causing trouble in Shandong, I don't know how anxious he was. Even my sister and mother were worried about you, so he asked Brother Wei to welcome you and protect you. As a result, he took people to the road for a few days, but he didn't see anyone. Isn't Shandong in the south? Why did you come back from the north?"

Cui Yuan robbed Bai and said, "Master Shouning may not know that we returned to Beijing by water and changed the carriage when we were about to arrive in the capital, so we entered the city from Deshengmen."

Zhang Heling said with anger: "If you don't say anything in advance when you change the road, do you want to go out and wait for a fight?"

Zhang Yanling squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Heling.

He really knows how to pretend.

I'm afraid you've been out for a happy and joyful few days. I heard that I've returned to the city, so I came back to meet again. If another evil person complained about it first, I'll make a fuss.

If it were someone else, Zhang Yanling could still think about it.

As for the elder brother Zhang Heling...

This is simply a basic operation.

"Brother, I'm very curious about the road fifty miles south of the road was washed away by the flood. How did you come back?" Zhang Yanling asked in surprise.

Zhang Heling was stunned and then cursed: "What else can we do? Of course, we have been back after a lot of hardships. The road was washed away by water, so it was so difficult to walk. You don't know how difficult it is..."

Cui Yuan said curiously: "When will the flood in Northern Zhili come to an end?"

Zhang Heling had to continue making up lies. After hearing this, he realized that he was being fooled by his younger brother and scolded: "Second, what's the fuck?"

Zhang Yanling shrugged and spread his hands and said, "It seems that I am overestimating my brother. If I had known it, I would have said that the road ten miles south of the city was washed away by heavy water..."

"Dare you teasing your brother?"

"No, I mean, I mean, if you say Shili, my brother should have already walked out and will expose my words."

"I'll go to your grandma's legs..."

Zhang Heling chased and beat Zhang Yanling.

Xiao Jing and Cui Yuan rushed to fight, but fortunately, no matter how crazy the two brothers made a fuss, they still didn't really fight.

...

...

A group of people passed Donghuamen.

Zhang Heling is still saying how hard he is.

"...You boy slapped your butt and left. He went to Shandong to commit crimes and murder. Do you know how much hardships you have suffered for you? A few days ago in the court, if you hadn't spoken for you for your brother, you would have been questioned for a long time now. If you weren't for your brother's visit, you would have been so calm in the face of so many court officials. Fortunately, you are fighting for your brother..."

"Okay, brother, just think I was wrong? Isn't it just a test of your sincerity? If you hold grudges, you will be revenge. Isn't it too tired to talk so much nonsense?"

"If you are brothers, you shouldn't be tempted. Brothers have always regarded you as a brother. Do you treat me as a brother?"

...

The two brothers were fighting along the way.

Xiao Jing and Cui Yuan found that they couldn't get into the conversation at all.

If you think about it carefully, the conversation between the two brothers is completely nonsense.

One is shameless and the other is talking nonsense, while the other is already aware that it is just perfunctory, and neither of the brothers is sincere.

Not too far.

But I saw the eunuch Chen, the eunuch who was in charge of the Silijian, jogging over to salute several people.

"Eunuch Chen, what's the matter?" Zhang Yanling walked forward and asked with a smile.

Chen Kuan said helplessly: "Your Majesty feels cold and may be late for court today, so he sent a message to ask some people to wait in Wenhua Hall first, and... he should accompany His Royal Highness to Fengtian Hall with His Royal Highness..."

Zhang Yanling nodded when he heard this.

Although Zhu Houzhao has been officially promoted to Wenhua Hall and started some simple daily study, he has not yet been out of the box and studied, and he has not even started anything he has said during the Seminar Day.

The prince suddenly wanted to go to Fengtian Palace to listen to the government, which obviously required reasons. Logically speaking, the prince could only listen to what happened in front of the back hall and not really showed his face.

Zhang Yanling was a little surprised by the news that Zhu Youzhang suddenly felt "sometimes cold".

Logically speaking, if Zhu Youtang was unwell, Xiao Jing, who came out first, would not have known it unless the emperor encountered something temporarily and used "once the cold" as an excuse.

"Wenhua Palace? That's not where our nephew lives?" Zhang Heling said casually.

This made Xiao Jing and Chen Kuan very embarrassed.

For them, Zhu Houzhao's status is very respectful and there should be no slackness in the name, otherwise it would be the crime of beheading. Have you ever seen such a person who directly calls the prince "nephew"?

"Brother is in the palace, so he should be cautious in his words and actions."

Zhang Yanling said, heading towards Wenhua Palace.

Zhang Heling chased after him a few steps, and was still talking: "Why are you not careful in your words and actions? You guys make it clear..."

...

The dispute continues.

...

...

Inside Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Houzhao put on the prince's formal clothes and was walking back and forth in the bronze mirror that fell to the ground. She kept asking the eunuchs next to her where there was any problem, and her proud look was beyond words.

Liu Jin and others were fanning him, and it was a bit stuffy early in the summer.

"Your Highness, the two uncles are here, as well as the eldest princess Yongkang, and the chief eunuch Xiao, the chief eunuch of the rituals." Gao Feng came in and reported.

Zhu Houzhao turned around and ran out of the door. When she saw Zhang Yanling, she looked excited and looked no one looked at her: "Second uncle, do you think I can do this? Today is the first time I went to court. If you have any attention, you should mention it."

Zhang Heling frowned and said, "I said to Prince, you haven't seen me? Why do you say hello to your second uncle first? Isn't my uncle?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at Zhang Heling, and said disdainfully: "Who are you thinking it is? Uncle, aren't you dead outside?"

Zhang Heling was in a state of anger in an instant.

"I'll go...Who's the messing around? When will I die?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Uncle, be careful when speaking. This is the palace. Gu is the crown prince. Are you afraid that Gu will tell his father what you said?"

Even though Zhang Heling had long seen the difficulty of his eldest nephew.

I was a little discouraged when I heard of such a threat.

It seemed that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only glar at Zhang Yanling fiercely, as if he felt that the prince was so clever and was taught by his younger brother.

"Second uncle, I heard that there is a case today. Can you tell me about it first? Then Gu can also send a few words to let them know that even if Gu is young, he still has insights."

"The prince is afraid that he will not be able to show up in public today, at most, he will listen to it behind the scenes."

"What is behind the scenes?"

"Just hide in the back hall and listen, you can't come out if anything happens in front of you."

"Ah? What else is that?"

"The prince has not yet left the cabinet and studied. It takes less than two years for the prince to be able to control Fengtian Palace. Your Majesty will also handle government affairs with you..."

Zhang Yanling and Zhu Houzhao walked into the hall while talking, and the two seemed to be really discussing things.

Zhang Heling heard it was in vain.
