She is very aware of the current situation. Her husband's family will definitely die after the rebellion, but her natal Lou family may not be completely destroyed.
It is unreliable to expect the emperor to pardon. The best way is to approach Prince Xing's Mansion. If things change as Zhu Hao said, and the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao dies within two years, it is very likely that the court will not have time to deal with the Lou family and wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne... all circumstances
Change will occur.
But all the prerequisites are based on establishing a good relationship with Prince Xing's Mansion.
Staying in Wuchang Mansion will not help her. She will probably be caught by the government, and the people who worked hard to save her will be implicated.
When Lou Suzhen returned to the house to pack her things, Zhu Hao came out to inform Lu Song that Lou Suzhen was going to go with her.
Lu Song murmured in a low voice: "You were so resolute before, why are you leaving now?"
His eyes couldn't help but drift to Zhu Hao, thinking that as long as Zhu Hao takes action, there seems to be nothing impossible in this world.
…
…
Zhu Hao was leaving and had no intention of informing Sun Ru.
After taking the provincial examination, Sun Ru could be allowed to play the piano in Wuchang Mansion for a few days, but the relationship between the two still existed as master and apprentice, so they sent someone to inform him, and Sun Ru came to see him off after hearing the news.
"Sir, with your talent and knowledge, you have a great chance of being named in the list of honors this time. Why are you leaving in a hurry? Why don't you stay and wait for the deer's banquet?"
Sun Ru has been very happy recently.
In the first round of the three four-book essays, Zhu Hao hit two questions, and the essays were written by Zhu Hao himself. He could tell that the essays were much better than his own, and he usually boasted in front of Mr. Anlu that he could take the exam.
Those who passed the exam did not have any confidence, but this time they were very confident.
If my grandson Ru can also pass the exam...
Darling, why don’t you think there will be green smoke rising from the ancestral grave? Then my mother will not agree to let me marry ten or eight concubines, so that the incense of my Sun family can flourish and flourish?
Zhu Hao said: "You can't live without pursuit."
Sun Ru was confused for a while after hearing this.
Staying in Wuchang Prefecture to wait for the successful candidate to participate in the Luming Banquet, is this called not pursuing?
Zhu Hao immediately added: "There is something urgent in Anlu and I am waiting for my return. The provincial capital has released the results and someone will pass the news back... You can wait in Wuchang Mansion until the results are released and then leave. You cannot stay for a long time, otherwise...
"
"I know that if I stay and don't come back, my husband will ask my mother to lock me in a dark room... I said to you, sir, can we use a different way to encourage students next time?"
When Sun Ru heard Zhu Hao's threat, her ears almost became calluses.
Zhu Hao said: "If you can pass the exam this time, I will try my best to scold you as little as possible in the future. You stay in Wuchang Mansion and don't cause trouble. Especially don't go to see those classmates, let alone tell me about my success..."
I don't care if you embarrass yourself, just don't embarrass your teacher."
Sun Ru felt resentful and felt very unhappy, but she knew that Zhu Hao was leaving. She was a wild horse in Wuchang Mansion. She brought a lot of money this time, so she couldn't live happily ever after?
Thinking of this, my thoughts became clear again.
…
…
Just as Zhu Hao and Lu Song were on their way back to Anlu.
Prince Xing's Mansion once again received a decree from the imperial court, informing Zhu Si in detail about the specific procedures for going to the capital to inherit the throne... To be precise, it meant telling who would come to greet him and what specifications the Prince's Mansion could send to escort him.
In the inner courtyard of the palace, Princess Chiang temporarily opened a small flower hall specifically for discussing important matters in the palace.
This time she called her son Zhu Si to come over and participate in this internal meeting as Prince Xing, so that Zhu Si could gradually get used to how to be a prince.
"...The eunuch sent by the imperial court to welcome him was named Qiu Ju. This man was in charge of Dongchang in his early years. Later, he disobeyed Liu Jin and assigned him to guard the mausoleum in Nanjing. After Liu Jin's defeat, he was transferred back to the capital and served as the imperial eunuch. This time he came to Anlu, and he had some
We were escorted by hundreds of Dongchang fans and Jinyi guards, and the palace was allowed to send a Dianzhan to bring fifty strong men to the capital, and no personnel from the palace were allowed to accompany him."
Zhang Zuo explained the situation.
When Zhu Si heard this, he hurriedly looked at his mother and asked worriedly: "Mom, listen to these requests. Is the imperial court going to capture me and take me to the capital to serve as a hostage?"
Yuan Zonggao smiled and encouraged: "The prince is worried too much... This is just a routine matter. It won't take too long for you to go to the capital to accept the throne. After the prince goes to the capital, without the supervision of your husband, don't neglect your studies."
Zhu Si felt awkward after hearing this.
I'm going to be locked up as a hostage, why don't you forget to remind me to study hard? Will I still be in the mood to study when the crisis is looming?
Nonsense!
Tang Yin asked for instructions: "Princess, please order me to go to the capital secretly and accompany the prince."
Zhang Zuo immediately looked at Princess Jiang with a look that said, "I'm going to agree to his proposal." It was obvious that Zhang Zuo had mentioned this matter to Princess Jiang in advance, and Princess Jiang agreed to it at that time, and it was just a matter of final decision.
Zhu Sidao: "Can Zhu Hao accompany me?"
"Um!?"
Several people present looked at Zhu Si at the same time.
At this time, the person Zhu Si was thinking of was not Tang Yin. Even if Tang Yin was his husband, when a child goes to a strange place, it is not uncommon for an elder to make irresponsible remarks. No matter how good the relationship is, it is not as good as Zhu Hao, a husband who can also play with him at the same time.
A companion, who can not only tutor him in his studies, but also make suggestions, and most importantly, play together...
In Zhu Si's eyes, it was much better for Zhu Hao to go with him than to have Tang Yin by his side.
Zhang Zuowei said, "Your Highness, Zhu Hao is taking the provincial examination in Wuchang right now. I'm afraid he can't accompany him."
Now Zhu Si has not been officially granted the title of King Xing. The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty do not mean that the new one will succeed immediately after the death of the old one. There needs to be a process of imperial conferment. Although everyone now knows that only Zhu Si will inherit the throne.
After all, Zhu Youqi does not have any other sons, but when it comes to public addresses, he should try to avoid directly calling him prince.
Zhu Sidao: "At this time...hasn't Zhu Hao finished the exam?"
Yuan Zonggao smiled and said: "After all, he still has to wait for the results of the provincial examination..."
"Is it more important to wait for the result, or to accompany me to the capital?"
At this time, Zhu Si was no longer as obedient to the words of the people in front of him as when his father was here, and his mentality gradually changed.
The loss of his father as a young man gave his character a bit more tenacity and a bit of stubbornness. It probably means that I just want Zhu Hao to accompany me to the capital. Don't give me objective reasons. As King Xing, I can't speak.
Does it work?
Tang Yin said cautiously: "I have immediately informed Zhu Hao. If everything goes as expected, he has already set off from Wuchang Mansion. Even if he cannot make it back when we set off, he can set off immediately as long as he returns to Anlu and tidies up a little."
Heading to the capital... I don’t expect it to have much impact.”
Yuan Zonggao said: "Bohu, do you really want to go to the capital? I'm afraid you won't be able to help the prince too much if you go. After all, it's just some cumbersome procedures that need to be carried out before the throne. Let the prince face it alone, which is also a good thing for him."
Kind of exercise.”
Tang Yin shook his head and said: "Thanks to the kindness of the late king, I am able to settle down and live in Anlu. Now the prince goes to the capital alone, which is very inconvenient. As a gentleman, I want to help him as much as possible... I hope Yuan Changshi will be successful."
"Um."
Yuan Zonggao just tried to persuade and persuade Tang Yin to stay as a courtesy. He hoped that Tang Yin would leave early so as not to affect the power struggle in Prince Xing's palace.
Zhu Si's little face turned red from holding back. I am seriously talking to you about Zhu Hao going to the capital with me, but you are still wondering whether Tang Yin should go or not?
As a prince, will what I say work?
"Mom, do you agree?"
Zhu Si could only turn his head and stare at his mother.
Princess Jiang felt sorry for her son and sighed: "Even if you want Zhu Hao to go, you have to ask him what he wants first. In addition, Mr. Tang will be with you, which will also be helpful to you... My mother will rely on you, but
You can’t be too stubborn, and everything must be based on the overall situation.”
Seeing that her son was very persistent, Princess Jiang could only speak to calm Zhu Si's impatient mood.
"In addition, everyone, please help prepare for my son's trip to the capital."
Princess Jiang looked longingly at the many subordinates present. Although she also knew that these people had their own thoughts, but in the current situation, if she didn't trust these people, who could she trust?
…
…
Empress Dowager Zhang sent the imperial eunuch Qiu Ju to Anlu to pick up Zhu Si and bring him to the capital. When he arrived in Anlu, it would be around the end of August, and he would return directly to the capital without stopping.
There was not much time left for the palace to prepare.
Zhu Hao was still on his way back at this time, and Tang Yin's trip to the capital had been decided. Princess Jiang specifically asked Zhang Zuo to call Tang Yin to the inner courtyard and give him face-to-face instructions. This probably meant that if Zhu Si did not lose his body in the capital,
If he was free, Tang Yin would have to see Zhu Si more often and communicate more... If he was imprisoned, he would have to find a way to bribe people in the court to have the opportunity to see Zhu Si and comfort him.
What Princess Jiang was worried about was not her son's safety in the capital, but fear that her son would be severely psychologically traumatized, which would affect his ability to take charge of the palace in the future.
On August 27, Qiu Ju and his party arrived in Anlu.
Originally, Prince Xing's Mansion had hosted a banquet in honor of Qiu Ju and his party, but Qiu Ju insisted on keeping official business and did not plan to spend the night in Anlu. He wanted to take the crown prince directly to the capital.
The Imperial Guards Department originally planned to send Lu Song there, but Lu Song did not return, so according to the rules, Luo An was asked to bring fifty experts to accompany him, plus more than a hundred Dongchang fans and Qiu Ju brought
There are more than 200 Jinyi guards, eunuchs and slaves heading to the capital, which can be considered a huge force.
Tang Yin did not appear in any public place to welcome Qiu Ju, and the palace did not inform Qiu Ju about sending staff to accompany the prince to Beijing.
On the afternoon of August 27, we welcomed the group to leave Anlu.
Tang Yin originally planned to leave on the same day, but Zhu Hao sent someone to inform him that he would return to Anlu on August 28th or 29th. Tang Yin asked the palace for instructions that he would stay in Anlu for two more days.
He had previously stated that he would not bring anyone from the palace with him, but would only bring his own entourage. In this way, even if the court knew that Tang Yin was going north, he would not have anything to do with Prince Xing's palace.
Even if someone knows that he once served as a staff member in the palace, but now that the old Prince Xing is dead, can't he leave Prince Xing's palace and travel around the world on his own?
Anyway, Tang Yin didn't have any official status in the palace. For a person like him who had the reputation of being a civil servant, he could go wherever he wanted.
On the morning of August 28, Zhu Hao and Lu Song arrived at Anlu Pier by boat, and asked Shopkeeper Ma to send someone on horseback to the city to inform them, and then rode a carriage into the city with Lu Song and Lou Suzhen.
At this time, Zhu Hao had learned that Zhu Si and his party had set off the day before yesterday and took the overland route.
"Have you thought about what to say when you see Mr. Tang later?"
Lu Song is still a little worried about Lou Suzhen.
Zhu Hao said: "This is the maid I bought, and her registration is in my Zhu family's name. Even if Mr. Tang is unreasonable, he can't do anything to me, right?"
