There are no less than a dozen eunuchs serving as the Chief of Ceremonies, Lin Linmo. Among them... Fu Rong, Zheng Qiang and others who serve as guards in Nanjing must first bear the title of eunuchs of the Chief of Ceremonies before being released. This is basically the case.
It is a common practice. Among these eunuchs, only those with the word "Bingbi" are the real confidants of the emperor. Chen Kuan's qualifications are similar to those of Xiao Jing and Li Rong, but they are only slightly different in age.
If he is not needed easily, even big bosses like Liu Jian and Li Dongyang will never see him. However, at this moment, this man appears in Shouning Hou Mansion, and he was not willing to wait for even a moment longer.
Even the chief steward of the Hou Mansion who tried to delay the move at first was severely reprimanded.
"Chen Kuan, I have only been out for a long time, how can you respond so quickly!" Zhu Houzhao strode out of the house with a very ugly face, "I have never escaped from the lectures in the Jianhua Hall these days. It's just that
I came here to see my uncle, not to go anywhere else..."
Before Zhu Houzhao could finish his words, Chen Kuan hurried forward to greet him. He didn't even have time to kowtow and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, if we don't say this now, please return to the palace as soon as possible..."
"I won't go back!" Zhu Houzhao felt mixed emotions after Xu Xun's words. Now Chen Kuan showed up and asked him to go back to the palace. He suddenly felt even more breathless, "I am a nephew.
If I sit at my uncle's house for a while longer, does that break some of the rules? If so, just let Father punish me!"
If it were normal, the prince would keep calling him uncle, and would even fight with the emperor for himself. Zhang Heling would not be happy in time, but now that he found that Chen Kuan's face was as complex as the bottom of a pot, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and he hurriedly followed
The man on the side smiled and persuaded: "Your Highness, Eunuch Chen, would like to come."
"Uncle, I didn't ask you!" Zhu Houzhao glared at Zhang Heling angrily and said angrily, "Eunuch Chen, you just need to make it clear that this is really what father means."
, I will follow you immediately. But from now on, I will never step foot in the door of Shouninghou Mansion again!"
Chen Kuan could not have expected that Zhu Houzhao would be stubborn at this time, and he was worried about everything in his heart.
He deliberately coaxed the prince to withdraw from the crowd and wait for explanations, but he had served Yingzong, Xianzong and today, but he had never met a person of Zhu Houzhao's temperament, so he was a little embarrassed for a while. Just when he made up his mind to tell the truth
When I did, a voice came from behind.
"Your Highness, please don't be impatient. Mr. Chen rarely comes out, but today he rushed to the Shouning Marquis Mansion. This does not prove that the Emperor cares deeply about His Highness. He has no intention of punishing you."
Only then did Chen Kuan realize that Xu Xun was there. Although he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or Zhang Heling's arrangement, he didn't care about that much at the moment. Following this tone, he thought of a reasonable excuse, nodded hurriedly and said:
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty was naturally extremely happy to learn that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out of the palace to visit Shouning Hou. However, the Ministry of Rites has just sent some trinkets from foreign vassals, and the Emperor is going to let His Highness choose a few others.
Give it to the kings and ask you to go back and pick it up quickly."
Poor Chen Kuan has served Emperor Hongzhi for many years and has long been accustomed to the emperor's tolerant and fair style. This is the first time he has tried to use this little trick to get someone. However, his words finally had some effect. As soon as he finished speaking,
He found that Zhu Houzhao, who was opposite him, was looking at him suspiciously, until he was so stunned that he nodded slightly.
"Forget it, then I'll just trust you once... Liu Jin, prepare to return to the palace!" After saying this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly turned to look at Xu Xun, "Xu Xun, train the Fujun avant-garde well, don't
Forget what you just said! When we all have the ability, we will be able to do what you just said!"
"Yes, please keep this in mind." Xu Xun bowed deeply, and then said without raising his head, "I also wish your highness that all your wishes will come true after you return to the palace."
As he watched Chen Kuan follow Zhu Houzhao out of the house, Xu Xun caught a glimpse of Shouning Hou Zhang Heling's expression on his face. He didn't know that it was Zhu Houzhao who had turned against him and angered his uncle. He had an idea and said to Zhang Heling.
: "Hou Ye, I really depend on you today!"
"Rely on me? Your Majesty, this is a joke. How can I be your uncle in your heart?"
Regarding Zhang Heling's indignation, Xu Xun, who was well prepared, said with a smile: "The prince was in a moment of impatience at that time. No matter who quarreled with him, he would definitely be in trouble. Hou Ye just happened to hit the head of the gun.
Just now, the prince asked me about Xiao Houye inside. When he learned that he is really good at firearms, he proudly said to me that he was worthy of being a descendant of the Zhang family. He had given him a face. He also said that when Cao had mastered it, he would immediately play it.
Please ask the emperor to supervise him, and also commend Hou Ye, a father who is known to teach his children well..."
When Xu Xun and his son left the Shouning Hou Mansion, Shouning Hou Zhang Heling walked out the door with a smile on his face. There was no trace of anger on his face, and his joy was almost unbearable - or rather, there was no trace of it at all.
Zeng wanted to zang. However, Xu Liang endured this question and returned to his main room. Then he asked with a strange expression: "Zhang Zong said he is really that good?"
"Of course not. How can there be so many prodigal sons in this world who turn around and become a blockbuster?" Seeing Xu Liang's mouth wide open, Xu Xun smiled and said, "Dad, do you think everyone is your son?"
"Smelly boy!" Xu Liang slapped Xu Xun on the neck angrily, and then cursed in anger, "In that case, why are you bragging about these things in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Shouning Marquis? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?
Time to wear it?"
"The chai can't be worn. I don't say this casually. If we continue to train according to the current standardized procedures, even if Zhang Zong is not the best when the time comes, he will definitely not be a delayer. I just have to go back
Tell him that he has already boasted so much in front of the prince and his father that when the time comes he will be embarrassed. Not to mention that Shouning Hou Shizi may have to be replaced, even His Highness the prince's anger can burn him to the ends of the earth to count the stars.
."
Hearing that Xu Xun had made up his mind, Xu Liangliang felt a little relieved, but remembering what Zhu Houzhao had said before, he still couldn't help but worry: "Xun'er, have you really persuaded His Royal Highness to change his mind?
His Highness's words are really shocking, if he really thinks so..."
"Things haven't reached that point yet, dad, you don't need to worry unfounded." Xu Xun said this, but he knew in his heart that Zhu Houzhao might have been thinking about it for more than a moment, and he might have been holding it in for a long time. Otherwise, he would
When he said those words, Zhu Houzhao would not accept them immediately and smoothly. But he was not very sure about the outcome that would follow.
With a character like Zhu Houzhao, it would be easy for him to make excuses with the ministers, but to make him really surrender in front of the emperor is harder than reaching the sky. It is precisely because he is his father who he loves and respects, so he
It's hard to tell lies and get over it! Speaking of it, he, as his son, hid a lot of things from Xu Liang...
However, it was different from what Xu Xun imagined, when Zhu Houzhao stepped into the Zhai Palace and smelled the pungent smell of gizzard.
"What happened to my father?"
Queen Zhang turned her head and realized that Zhu Houzhao was back. However, she glanced at the bed first, then pulled Zhu Houzhao out.
It wasn't until she left the main hall through the back door that she looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked in a face-to-face manner: "You ignorant child! Why did Chen Kuan go away for so long before you came back? Do you know that when your father was in a daze just now, he was still
Calling your name?"
Zhu Houzhao felt like he was struck by thunder: "I..."
"What am I? You were angry with your father before, and you didn't listen to what I said, so forget it. But when your father is sick, you stay outside and don't come back. What kind of filial piety are you doing?" Empress Zhang was originally Xing.
I am an extremely anxious person. I was so frightened and panicked when I first heard the shocking news today that I couldn’t help but burst into tears. “Do you know that your father couldn’t control the slap he gave you at that time? In the past few days,
What kind of regrets are you having secretly and secretly? Your father is always busy with everything, but he still worries about you day and night, so he suddenly got sick! Several doctors at Tai Hospital said that it was partly due to wind and cold, and partly due to cold.
This is just for irritation, Hou Zhao, you are so ignorant!"
Zhu Houzhao originally had a glimmer of luck, hoping that his father's illness was just a minor illness. Seeing that Empress Zhang was getting angrier and more anxious as she spoke, his heart gradually sank. Empress Zhang had always been the most
He didn't know how to pretend. If the father and the queen were to act together, he would be able to tell the clues from the queen's face. But at this moment, Queen Zhang's eyes were already red, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
The handkerchief he held was almost torn.
"Mother..." Zhu Houzhao knelt down unknowingly, but said in a low voice, "My son... I know I was wrong."
"Say this to your father!" Empress Zhang turned her head away, trying her best not to look at her pitiful son, and said cruelly, "Unless your father gives you mercy, don't call me empress."
No, I don’t have such an uneasy son like you!”
"Mother, don't be angry, I will go now, I will go now!"
Zhu Houzhao quickly got up, turned around and rushed into the Zhai Palace with a panic face. Faced with this situation, Queen Zhang stood there for a moment, but finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly chased in. Until then, the corridor
Around the corner, a man poked his head out. Seeing that the mother and son were nowhere to be seen, he smiled with relief.
