In the Dongnuan Pavilion of Chengqian Palace, Zhu Hou looked at the stack of folders that Liu Pu had specially retrieved, and he looked attentively. In addition to the war situations that Xu Xun had already told him, there were also the meritorious deeds of the recommended people.
.
Shenying's old skills are strong, Yang Yiqing's suspicious tactics, Qian Ning's skill and courage... Even Zhang Jun, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, the defeated general, Xu Xun did not hesitate to describe it in detail. As for his subordinate Wu Da
Haian Da Niu and others - all mentioned it. Naturally, the list of other meritorious soldiers cannot be recorded in just a few clips. According to Xu Xun, those have been sent to Zhu Hui, the protector of the country.
The general troops marched to the camp.
"Liu Jin." Zhu Houzhao called out. Seeing Liu Jin immediately approaching and bowing down, he suddenly asked, "Tell me, why did Xu Xun suddenly resign from the Imperial Guard in front of the public today? What did he do in front of the couplet before?
Don’t tell me?”
Although Liu Jin was the first to say this to Zhu Houzhao about the proposal that Xu Xun should be in charge of the royal guards, he felt a little guilty when he heard Liu Jian say that in front of the emperor today. At this moment, he thought about it for a moment, and then whispered
He said: "Your Majesty, I was strange before, but I just went to the Chief of Ceremonies and had some thoughts... I heard that Lord Xu and Ye Guang had some feelings for each other when they were in Jinling. When they arrived in the capital, Lord Ye
He also took good care of him, so Xu Xun was not happy to take someone else's seat because of it.
I didn’t think carefully before and gave you some advice. Maybe I was fooled by Mr. Liu Ge and the others."
"So that's what it meant. No wonder he refused to thank me for his kindness. He said he would wait until the Wenhua Palace had discussed it."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized, and suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it on the armrest: "Fortunately, he was not fooled. Fortunately, you found this clip. Fortunately, Lianhe didn't have time to listen to the slander! It turns out that they want to suppress the credit of so many people.
!" The little emperor suddenly stood up as he spoke and said word by word, "This ceremonial supervisor should be replaced by a new group of people. It is really despicable and shameless1"
Being able to get Zhu Houzhao to say the four words despicable and shameless made Liu Jin feel happy, but this time he cautiously did not agree. It was not until Zhu Houzhao finally calmed down a little and sat down that he said jokingly
: "But I have something else to ask the emperor for, or I want to ask the emperor on behalf of Mr. Xu."
"Oh? He didn't come to ask Lian for his affairs, so you still need to take action?" Zhu Houzhao threw his anger away to Java and immediately asked curiously, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. If Lian can agree,
, will never turn back the vote.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Jin smiled and bent down one leg to salute. Seeing Zhu Houzhao glaring at him, he immediately stood up knowingly and clapped his hands twice. Not long after, there was a man outside the door wearing a black gauze top hat.
The Little Fireman, wearing a green collared shirt with no pattern on his chest and back, entered the room. He knelt down and kowtowed a few steps away from the couch, and then fell to the ground without saying a word. At this time, Liu Jin just explained with a smile: "
Your Majesty, this little guy's name is Ruisheng, and he was Xu Xun's servant. When he was in Jinling, it was revealed that he had been castrated by his father, which caused Xu Xun a lot of trouble. When he came to Beijing, he was just
I brought them here together and placed them with Eunuch Xiao."
"Oh, is he the person next to Xu Xun?" Zhu Houzhao leaned forward according to the armrest, drank and Ruisheng raised his head. He saw that the little guy was about the same age as himself, and he was pretty neat, so he asked a few questions and found that Ruisheng had one answer.
Not a single sentence was out of line, but when he mentioned Xu Xun, his expression had a different look, and he couldn't help but laugh, "A person as full of ideas as Xu Xun, I didn't expect that he would use such a simple and polite person like you.
That’s all, just follow Lian. If someone bullies you in the future, just tell Lian!”
In the past, Rui Sheng only sent Xiao Jing to the Chengqian Palace. Although Zhu Houzhao, the young emperor, had not seen him before, this was the first time he had met and spoken to him at such a close distance. I couldn't help but feel nervous just now. Now I saw that the emperor was so easy to talk to.
, The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. After thanking him, he said in a strange way: "The young master said that as long as I listen to the emperor and Eunuch Liu, no one will dare to bully me.,,
When Liu Jin heard that he was tied with the emperor, he couldn't help but glance at Zhu Houzhao. Seeing that the little emperor didn't feel dissatisfied at all, he was very interested and asked Xu Xun what else he had ordered. This made Ruisheng blush, and he couldn't help but
He smiled and said: "The emperor also said that he is honest and honest. Look at this mouth. It's true that like a master, like a servant!"….
"Wouldn't it be boring to be too honest?"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin making fun of him, Ruisheng looked at this and that with his eyes from time to time but said nothing, and did not show the same hand as when he first met Xiao Jing. Xu Xun and Xiao Jing had repeatedly given instructions before, without their instructions.
, determined not to use force. So, when someone from Kunning Palace sent a message to invite the emperor to come over, Zhu Houzhao waved to him, and he immediately followed behind.
According to convention, since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne as emperor, the Queen Mother who was promoted to the Queen Mother should move to the Qingning Palace, and the Queen Mother Zhang who was promoted to the Queen Mother should move to the Renshou Palace. However, the Queen Mother moved to the Renshou Palace.
However, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, refused to live in Qianqing Palace on the grounds that he was too sad to move. He also insisted on letting Empress Dowager Zhang continue to live in Kunning Palace. Naturally, Empress Dowager Zhang did not move.
After all, compared with the Renshou Palace that constantly reminds her that she has become a widow, Queen Mother Zhang naturally prefers the Kunning Palace where she has lived for nearly twenty years.
However, she who usually liked those bright red and purple colors is now in mourning period, so all those eye-catching decorations have been removed, and the laughter and laughter brought by Emperor Hongzhi in the past can hardly be heard, even if it is still those women from the past.
The palace maids took good care of her, but in just two or three months, the fine lines on her corners became much more obvious. When she saw Zhu Houzhao coming in excitedly, her face, which had been often in a daze recently, showed a trace of
smile.
"Mother!"
"You are already an emperor, and you are still so frizzy!" Pulling Zhu Houzhao, who was running over, to sit next to her, Queen Mother Zhang ordered someone to wring out a towel, and wiped Zhu Houzhao's face and forehead with her own hands.
Oh, then he said angrily, "You might as well go slower on a hot day. What if you fall in such a hurry?"
"Mother, I am no longer a child!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao raising his voice, Queen Mother Zhang shook her head angrily: "In the eyes of the Queen Mother, you are just a child! Now that you are here, let's have a cup of iced Tremella soup first, and then talk about it... No mischief is allowed, this is to relieve the heat.
Excellent product, the Queen Mother and Queen Mother use it every day!"
"It's sweet and greasy, what's so good about it..."
Although he muttered, when the palace maid actually brought the white fungus soup, Zhu Houzhao still had the courage to drink it in one gulp. Although it was so sweet that it made his throat itch, it had been chilled after all, so the taste was not bad. While he was drinking and smashing his mouth, Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at her and a female official came in and took away Liu Jin, Ruisheng and other entourage. At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Houzhao carefully and wanted to speak several times but was unable to speak. He stopped talking, and it took him a long while to ask a question.
"Huzhao, I heard that you summoned Xu Xun again in Chengqian Palace these days?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhu Houzhao responded vaguely, then put down the bowl and said, "Aren't you afraid that others will be verbose? Otherwise, Lian will go to Xing'anbo Mansion."
Wow, the emperor actually wanted to keep a low profile!
The corner of Queen Mother Zhang's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and then she softened her tone again and asked: "But this Chengqian Palace is the inner palace after all... Not to mention Chengqian Palace, even the Qianqing Palace does not summon foreign ministers. Didn't you see that your father met with the ministers in the Wenhua Hall? He is young and has great ambitions and talents. It is good for you to trust him, but if he is too close, it is inevitable that there will be gossip..."
As soon as the word "gossip" came out of his mouth, Zhu Houzhao jumped up, stared at Empress Dowager Zhang and asked, "What gossip?"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's huge reaction, Empress Dowager Zhang, who just wanted to be more tactful, took a deep breath and had to take strong medicine. She simply said with a straight face: "What nonsense? You are the emperor, you must act like the king of a country. , you should also learn from your father's majestic demeanor, and you should always respect the elders in the court and palace a little bit, leaving them some dignity. If you want to promote new people, you have to do it step by step. Note that you You are not yet married, but you often summon a foreign minister who is similar to you. Some people in the palace have already said some very unpleasant things, let alone outside the palace. I am sure they will say something unclear..."
Zhu Houzhao's face turned greener and greener as he listened. In a rage, he suddenly picked up the porcelain bowl on the table from which he had just finished drinking the Tremella Soup, dropped it to the ground, and then shouted angrily: "These bastards! What if? Let Lian know who dares to gossip behind his back, Lian will chop him alive!"
The Queen Mother Zhang was startled by the bang, and immediately became deeply angry. She has always been a petty person, and her husband used to spoil her, and the grandmother and mother-in-law above her could not do anything about it. Therefore, when faced with Zhu Houzhao's overly excited reaction, her first move after coming back to her senses was to slap the table.
"Nonsense, what are you trying to do!"
"Mother, Lian tells you that Lian is a serious man, not a sissy who does those disgusting things!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao striding out, Queen Mother Zhang felt her throat was clogged, and it took a long time before she asked: "Come back, where are you going!"
"Lian goes to prove to his mother that Lian is a normal man!"
Seeing the angry figure disappearing outside the door curtain, Queen Mother Zhang suddenly had an extremely bad premonition in her heart. Her son always did things unexpectedly, and he was going to do something terrible this time. ?
