The old eunuch was none other than Liu Jin, who had been serving Zhu Houzhao and watched him grow up.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile a little on his face and said: "His Majesty showed his majesty as an emperor just now, which is no less than that of the late Emperor. I can see that Li Dongyang and several other ministers were shocked by His Majesty's power!"
While talking, Liu Jin took the regular clothes from the maid on the side and stepped forward to serve Zhu Houzhao to change out of the dragon robe. Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin and said: "You are an old guy who will flatter me. I compare with my father."
There is still a lot to be desired!”
As he spoke, he seemed to be thinking of his deceased father. He couldn't help showing a look of longing and sentimentality on his face and said: "My dear friend, I miss my father a little!"
Liu Jin helped Zhu Houzhao tidy up his clothes and said: "Your Majesty, don't be sad. If the late emperor is alive in heaven, he will definitely hope that your majesty will be happy and be a good emperor."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "You are right, I will be a good emperor."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao looked at the memorials on the table and sighed: "It took me a long time to approve the memorials. Didn't you say the day before yesterday that you could take me out of the palace to relax?"
Liu Jin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have arranged everything."
Thinking of being able to leave the palace soon, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face. He wished he could immediately grow wings and fly out of the Forbidden City, which was full of oppression and restraint.
After burning the incense, Zhu Houzhao, who had changed his clothes, looked at Liu Jin with a strange expression and said, "Daban, is this the method you came up with?"
It turned out that Zhu Houzhao had changed into the clothes worn by a young eunuch at this moment, so he couldn't be mixed among several young eunuchs. If he hadn't known Zhu Houzhao, he wouldn't have been able to tell them apart for a while.
Liu Jin walked at the front and lowered his voice and said to Zhu Houzhao beside him: "Your Majesty, there is nothing I can do about it. If I don't disguise myself, the news that Your Majesty is leaving the palace will have already reached the Queen Mother before I leave the palace.
Went there with some elders."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "I don't blame you, tell me where we are going to play today!"
Liu Jin said slowly: "Didn't your Majesty say a few days ago that there were no wild animals in the royal hunting ground and hunting was not interesting at all? So the old slave sent people to capture a lot of wild beasts from the mountains and put them in the royal hunting ground. Your Majesty is here."
Now you can show off your skills."
His eyes lit up, and Zhu Houzhao said as if he was gearing up: "Okay, I hope my companion understands me. Today I will try my skills to see how many prey I can hunt."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin and said: "You old man, you have to prepare enough prey for me. If you are not satisfied, I only ask you!"
In this way, the group of people left the palace gate without disturbing anyone else.
However, no one noticed Zhu Houzhao leaving the palace, but Liu Jin's departure alarmed some people. Not long after Liu Jin and his party left the palace, a young eunuch quietly left the palace gate.
After leaving the palace, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt much more relaxed. He took off his little eunuch's clothes in a few moments, revealing what he was wearing underneath.
"It's better to go outside the palace. I am stared at by several court elders and my mother every day. I am either reviewing memorials or reading essays. I am bored to death! Sometimes I really want to drive Li Dongyang and Xie Jian back to their hometown.
Don't allow this, don't allow that, it will make you worse than an emperor!"
Liu Jin followed Zhu Houzhao with a smile. Liu Jin, who had changed his clothes, now looked like a kind and kind old housekeeper. Hearing Zhu Houzhao's complaints, he laughed and said: "Then the old slave will help your majesty with the few ministers."
You should be driven away!"
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin and said, "I was just talking casually. They were left by my father to assist me in governing the world. You old man, don't mess around!"
Liu Jin's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but he smiled calmly: "I don't have that much ability. I am the elder of the court. You didn't see that I was scolded by several elders at every turn.
Is your head bloody?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing and said: "I know that it's my eldest companion who is taking the blame for me, so just let them scold me. Anyway, you can't do anything about my eldest companion, right?"
Liu Jin said with a smile: "Well, this old slave just listens to your majesty and doesn't have the same knowledge as them. With your majesty protecting this old slave, I understand that there is nothing they can do about me."
Soon Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin got into a carriage, and under the protection of more than a dozen guards, they headed straight for the royal hunting ground outside the city.
After leaving the city, Liu Jin had already arranged the manpower and horses. Zhu Houzhao got off the carriage and mounted the tall horse. He suddenly pulled away and dismounted the horse. Suddenly the horse galloped away, leaving only Zhu Houzhao's hearty and excited laughter.
"Sir, wait a minute, old slave!"
Liu Jinyue got on his horse, urged him to dismount, and hurriedly chased after him. Behind him were dozens of guards, Dongchang Fanzi, and Jinyiwei.
Obviously Liu Jin secretly took Zhu Houzhao out of the imperial city, but he was still very concerned about Zhu Houzhao's safety. It was right to please Zhu Houzhao, but if there was even the slightest accident, it might be a big disaster for him to lose his head.
Gradually, there were no more pedestrians on the road. After all, the royal hunting ground was more than ten miles away from the imperial city. It was located in a remote place and it was normal for there to be no one around.
At this moment, a group of guards, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi were scattered around, faintly protecting Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin in the middle.
"Young Master is really good at riding, I almost couldn't catch up with you!"
Zhu Houzhao laughed and said: "We are not far from the hunting ground. I will let you see how my riding and shooting skills improve later!"
While he was talking, a sudden sound broke through the air, and then he heard a scream and the sound of a horse falling. Liu Jin, who was smiling all over his face, suddenly changed his expression and screamed: "Escort!"
The dozen or so guards, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang Fanzi who were originally walking at the front fell to the ground amid arrows and hidden weapons, and then a dozen figures in black sprang out from the woods on both sides, with cold light shining straight.
He rushed to kill Liu Jin and others.
"The eunuch, please accept your fate!"
To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was a little dazed at the moment. Seeing the guard on the horse in front of him fall to the ground, Zhu Houzhao didn't even react, but Liu Jin's scream brought him back to his senses.
"Ah, there is an assassin!"
The first reaction of Zhu Houzhao, who was only seventeen years old, was not fear. Instead, he looked at the men in black with a bit of curiosity and a sense of excitement in his heart.
The guards, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi who followed behind rushed towards the men in black one by one. Even if these people really came for Liu Jin, who let Zhu Houzhao be present? If Zhu Houzhao was injured, then
At the slightest bit, if all of them are in trouble, their heads will fall to the ground.
