Chapter 60: The Son of Heaven leaves the palace

"The summer flood is coming. Last year, floods flooded Yuezhou and several counties in Yuanzhou. The problem lies in the dams. The director of the Ministry of Industry, Wen Wenshu, was ordered by the emperor to control the water. I wonder what news is there now? There will be more in the future.

His memorial must be submitted immediately."

"Fengxiang, the locust plague in Hanzhong should not be taken lightly. The court should provide the pensions. Don't delay in allocating the disaster grains. You should give strict orders to the governor of Shaanxi and let him supervise it. If there is corruption, the disaster grains will be taken care of."

It cannot be given to the victims, so I only ask him."

"What happened to the guarding eunuch Zhu Jian, causing so much public resentment? We need to find out whose fault it is. Let Mou Bin select someone to find out."

"Ahem..." Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang coughed desperately. He flipped through the urgently delivered memorial in the Xuanzheng Hall. While talking, there were several eunuchs standing next to him who were taking notes.

If so, record it.

After Zhu Youtang coughed violently, his body became a little more stooped, and his face turned red due to the violent cough. He put down a memorial book, frowned and said: "What's going on? There's a mutiny in the Datong army?

Or is it because of the last pay dispute? What did the cabinet say?"

Once a mutiny is involved, it is enough to arouse everyone's nervousness. It is no wonder that this memorial is in a red book. Zhu Youtang looked at the memorial with lowered eyebrows, and the hand holding the memorial trembled slightly.

"It's ridiculous. It takes a thousand days to raise an army but only one day to use it. Such soldiers can mutiny just for a small profit. How can they defend the outside when they are actually used?" Zhu Youtang took a deep breath. Although he was only thirty years old,

But there were already gray hairs faintly visible between his temples. He closed his eyes, lay on the sandalwood chair, and rapped his knuckles on the imperial case in front of him with all his concentration, thinking about something.

Suddenly, Zhu Youtang opened his eyes, a stern look passed over him, and then he said: "I will write a note to the cabinet. This is how to handle this matter. Let Datong suppress the mutiny first. Those who should be appeased should be appeased, but it cannot be done."

If you just tolerate it, the general of the Datong Army will issue an order. All the military attachés who participated in the mutiny will be dismissed from their posts and questioned. The leader will be asked to investigate and deal with the Jin Yiwei and the guarding eunuchs together, and they will be executed..."

When Zhu Youtang was speaking, the Xuanzheng Hall was completely silent, except for the rustling of ink and writing.

It was already close to noon. Zhu Youtang finally finished processing the last memorial. He was extremely tired. He breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the chair. Then a eunuch carefully handed over ginseng tea and held the tea in his hands.

Zhu Youtang regained some of his energy and said slowly: "How is the prince doing lately?"

Zhu Youtang is both doting on and helpless towards this prince. In addition, he has many things to do every day, so where can he have the chance to control him? What Zhu Youtang is most worried about now is naturally his only son. Every three to five days, Zhu Youtang will take charge of the prince.

I need to ask about it.

Which of the eunuchs serving in the palace is not afraid of the power of the Queen and the Prince? Naturally, no one dares to speak ill of the Prince. When Zhu Youtang asked, he always smiled and said: "The Prince returned to the Queen early yesterday morning."

I said hello, and I am much more sensible than before."

After hearing these words, Zhu Youtang's face showed a look of relief, and he said slowly: "Okay, very good. Filial piety is the first of all good deeds. This is a great rule."

"But..." A young eunuch smiled slightly and huddled among the crowd. A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness has worshiped another master."

"Master..." Zhu Youtang frowned. For the prince's education, Zhu Youtang selected countless great scholars to go to Zhan Shifu. Now that boy Zhu Houzhao went to become a disciple again, and most likely learned martial arts from others.

A ruler should pay attention to education, save the legal affairs, appoint virtuous people and flatter them, be prepared for danger in times of peace, accept advice well, be strict with oneself, and focus on rewards and punishments. What is the use of learning martial arts? Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu conquered the world with horses, but they can still ride on horses.

Rule the world? It’s ridiculous, ridiculous!

Zhu Youtang felt dissatisfied, but he couldn't control this kind of thing even if he wanted to. He knew the prince's temperament. The more strictly you prohibited it, the more he had to do it. Plus the queen's pampering

, even Zhu Youtang had nothing to do.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youtang said: "What master? Who is he? If this person wants to inquire about it, let Liu Cheng do it."

"I have found out clearly. Eunuch Liu has been waiting for your Majesty's summons for the past few days."

The eunuch who originally spoke answered carefully.

"Oh?" Zhu Youtang said without hesitation: "Then call Liu Cheng in to answer."

Not long after, Liu Chengsui walked in. As soon as he saw Zhu Youtang, he immediately knelt down and said flatteringly: "I have seen your majesty. May your majesty be safe."

Zhu Youtang waved his hand impatiently and said: "Get up, the prince has recently become a disciple again?"

"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince not only became a disciple, but your Majesty must still remember that the person who became his disciple was Liu Chengfeng from Jinyi Guards Station."

"Liu Chengfeng..." If Liu Cheng hadn't reminded him at this time, Zhu Youtang would have almost forgotten about this person. This person still had a good impression in Zhu Youtang's mind, and Zhu Youtang's expression couldn't help but soften.

Some people thought to themselves: After all, this person has read books and should know some importance.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now spends time with Liu Chengfeng every day. They are very friendly. Liu Chengfeng has also recruited a group of helpers, saying that he wants to include the Crown Prince. Now at this time, Liu Chengfeng must have started to work again.

Now that the prince has been taught martial arts, your majesty, why not go out of the palace to have a look, just to relax and visit the prince, killing two birds with one stone."

Liu Cheng had already calculated the time in his mind. Yesterday, he heard a report from Fanzi that the prince returned to the East Palace with a bruised nose and face. At this time, it must be Liu Chengfeng's time to 'train' the prince again.

"Well..." Zhu Youtang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's okay to go out and have a look, and ask someone to drive you around. I'll go change into casual clothes first."

Liu Cheng was already elated. Although he had already known that when it came to the prince and the emperor had nothing to do now, he would definitely leave the palace, but he did not expect that things would go so smoothly, which still surprised him.

"Liu Chengfeng, you are dead today. If you dare to touch Dongchang, I will let you know the tricks of Dongchang today."

"I obey the order." Liu Cheng kowtowed seriously and resigned to make preparations.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Zhu Houzhao showed up at the Hundred Household Office on time every morning, but this morning, he actually asked someone to bring two thousand taels of silver. The two thousand taels of silver were enough to fill a large box and were transported by carriage.

, the portion is really not small.

"Master, I brought the money. When will we start defrauding scholars of their money?" Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and waited for Liu Chengfeng to handle the official affairs of the Hundred Household Institute before he went over to speak with a smile.

Liu Chengfeng went to check the silver first, and couldn't help but be shocked. He could come up with two thousand taels of cash overnight. What kind of skill is this? I'm afraid there is someone in the capital who can use both hands to do this.

You can count it. After all, it is one thing to have a fortune of tens of millions, but it is another thing to have so much cash.

"Good disciple, good disciple..." Liu Chengfeng looked at Zhu Houzhao with much more kindness in his eyes. He wanted to hug Zhu Houzhao and said in a sweet voice: wet nurse... ah no, master loves you.

"Very good." With this money, what Liu Chengfeng has to do will be much easier. Liu Chengfeng encouraged Zhu Houzhao and said: "With Houzhao joining the stock, the important task of being a teacher will be half done. Houzhao, don't

If you are free, go study and write quickly. Later I will instruct a few captains to recruit some craftsmen and choose a place for printing publications. From today on, you don't need to study the Analects and start copying the Book of Rites. Don't delay, okay?"

Zhu Houzhao's smile froze, and he said quietly: "Master..."

"Um...what do you want to say?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Master, don't you think that Houzhao has brought so much money and let me see Master's bastard boxing again?"

Liu Chengfeng was speechless. It seemed that he didn't beat him up yesterday, and today he came crying and begging to loosen his bones. In fact, Liu Chengfeng was very happy today and really didn't want to beat anyone, but since he asked,

Liu Chengfeng thought in embarrassment: "Then I have no choice but to help him."

"Master...Master..." Seeing that Liu Chengfeng did not agree, Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Chengfeng expectantly. He was beaten up by Liu Chengfeng yesterday, and it was over before Zhu Houzhao could react. Liu Chengfeng's

He didn't remember any of the moves. When he returned to the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao was extremely upset. He couldn't sleep all night. Today he was hoping that Liu Chengfeng would give him another chance and let him watch Liu Chengfeng in the fight.

The fist wind of the wind.

"In this case..." Liu Chengfeng put his hands behind his hands and said slowly and calmly with an indifferent look on his face: "I have no choice but to do it as a teacher."
