Zhu Houzhao first went in to say hello. He originally wanted to report the news about Lianzhou impatiently, but he had a narrow-minded heart, so he didn't tell the news for the time being. He just pretended to be an ordinary person.
Come to visit.
Empress Dowager Zhang still lives a secluded life in the palace, wearing simple clothes. Recently, she seems to have become interested in weaving, so she placed a latest pedal loom in the palace. She now wears it to everyone
A bit cold, although he was still enthusiastic about Zhu Houzhao, his concern was well hidden.
"The Ai family heard that the emperor has not been in court to listen to politics recently? This is not good. After all, you are the emperor. As the emperor, how can you stay in the palace all day? This is not only related to the country, but also to teach people to listen. After all, it is not good.
.The Ai family does not ask you to imitate the late emperor, but you have to pretend to be like this in Chapter 921: Recalling the Capital."
Empress Dowager Zhang's requirements for Zhu Houzhao were shockingly low.
Zhu Houzhao was always well-behaved in front of Empress Dowager Zhang, and kept saying yes, saying: "My son has just been feeling unwell for the past few days, so he has not come to court. As for...as for..."
Empress Dowager Zhang smiled: "That's what the Ai family said. If you are unwell, do you still need to force your body to listen to politics?"
"Yes, yes..." Zhu Houzhao immediately cheered up.
Empress Dowager Zhang was sitting cross-legged on the couch and twisting her beads. She seemed to remember something and said: "Last night, the Ai family had a dream about the late emperor. The late emperor said that the weather has been a bit hot recently. He felt uncomfortable in the heat there and had to think of something.
Law
You are a talented person. Originally, the Ai family was thinking about taking some ice with them, but how to take the ice with them? This is a difficult matter. The emperor also helped to think of a solution. Your father has suffered all his life, and he will enjoy more happiness when he gets there.
That’s good.”
Empress Dowager Zhang would always have all kinds of dreams of the late emperor. It would be cold today, hot tomorrow, all in all strange and weird. Zhu Houzhao did not dare to take this matter lightly, so he had to ask: "How about burning a few carts of fans?"
This was a very absurd thing, but Zhu Houzhao gave a very absurd answer. As a result, Empress Dowager Zhang nodded absurdly and said: "You go to Chapter 921: Recalling the Capital Office for this matter, Xiao
Wasn't Jing sent to guard the late emperor's mausoleum? Let him take care of it. In fact, the Ai family thinks that this Xiao Jing is quite good. Although he also has his own opinions, he is loyal to the late emperor after all. "
Zhu Houzhao followed Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "So Liu Jin and the others said that letting Xiao Jing go to the late emperor's place to see the mausoleum would not only make the late emperor happy underground, but also make Xiao Jing happy in his heart. It's the best of both worlds."
Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and stopped talking.
Zhu Houzhao blinked and then said: "Mother, my son is not here just to say hello. In fact, there is something I want to report to my mother."
Empress Dowager Zhang took a sip of tea leisurely and said in a calm tone: "The Ai family doesn't want to ask or take care of matters that have nothing to do with the foreign court. The emperor can handle it at his own discretion."
But Zhu Houzhao said: "What I want to say is not the matter of the outer court, but the matter of Master Liu."
"Huh?" Queen Mother Zhang became slightly interested and glanced sideways at Zhu Houzhao: "What's the matter?"
Zhu Houzhao, however, whetted his appetite and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not Master Liu's business. Although Master Liu also has hard work, well... haha, it's mainly my sister's business."
Empress Dowager Zhang only has one son and one daughter. Perhaps her heart is somewhat partial to her son, but her son can see each other day and night now, but her daughter is thousands of miles away. Now she has a subtle feeling in her heart that she takes Princess Taikang very seriously. I heard that it is related to Taikang.
The princess suddenly became energetic: "Don't laugh and talk serious things with the Ai family."
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister, I'm pregnant. The news just came that we are both more than two months pregnant."
"Ah..." Queen Mother Zhang's body trembled, and her thumb twirling the beads could not help but speed up to suppress the surprise in her heart. Although she was the Queen Mother, because she did not have many direct children, she saw that everyone else was having grandchildren.
However, there was no movement from her at all, and there were a lot of rumors spread in the palace. Although Queen Mother Zhang said she didn't believe it and severely punished those servants who gossiped, she was still a little uneasy in her heart.
Under the double blow of losing her husband and having no sign of a son, Empress Dowager Zhang had been depressed. Now she heard that Taikang was pregnant. Although this was someone else's child, it was of great significance to Empress Dowager Zhang.
"This is a great joy. The Ai family has not heard such good news for a long time since the late emperor passed away. I heard that it is very hot in Lianzhou and the palace of King Chu is simple. How can the princess give birth there? Emperor,
You and the princess are biological sisters
Brother, I have to think of a way to bring the princess to the capital to raise the baby. However, the journey is long and troublesome. Hey... What does the Ai family say? If I had known better, I should not have sealed the King of Chu to Lianzhou.
Yes, it’s good now, but it’s really hard for others.”
Zhu Houzhao said: "When my sister comes back, doesn't it mean that Master Liu will also come back? This is a good idea. Mother, don't worry, I will use this excuse to make a decree for my sister to return to Beijing to visit her relatives. As for the fatigue along the way, I heard that now
The skills of making carriages in the Ming Dynasty have become more and more exquisite, and many luxurious carriages can walk on the road as if they are on the ground. With the imperial doctors and palace attendants taking care of them, there will be no problems."
"So, it won't be a big deal to take her back?" Queen Mother Zhang finally smiled, and today he was in a happier mood than ever before.
Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and assured: "This is natural."
Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Zhu Houzhao suspiciously. She still felt that this emperor was a little unreliable, but her emotions finally defeated her reason. She was silent for a moment, and then said: "Let's do it this way. Send an imperial envoy immediately to take the palace with him."
The best imperial doctor in the country went to Lianzhou with a few slaves to pick up someone, and the Ai family... The Ai family finally felt some comfort. If the late emperor knew about it, I don't know how happy he would be."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother, I will arrange this matter." However, after he was too happy, he felt a little sour. His sister was already pregnant, and Master Liu was about to give birth to his third child.
They have two children, but they have not made any movement yet. Although the mother has not said anything, she must be very worried.
Zhu Houzhao bid farewell to Queen Mother Zhang and went back to the Zhengxin Palace. Among the servants, only Zhang Yong and Liu Jin were left. Even though Liu Jin was in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, he would always come to Zhu Houzhao's side whenever he had the slightest chance. As for Zhang Yong
, although he is currently on official duty in the Royal Horse Guards, he is on duty to take care of the emperor today, so it is also his responsibility.
Zhu Houzhao seemed to be full of energy. He sat back on the couch laughing and joking. He took off his boots and lay down on the cushion. Then he called out: "Pass the decree. This decree is drafted by the Chief of Ceremonies. Liu Banban, please listen carefully."
"
When Liu Jin saw Zhu Houzhao coming back from Kunning Palace, he eagerly conveyed the order, and he roughly knew the content of the order. He felt extremely reluctant in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey it at all. In other matters, he also
You can say a few words, but when it comes to the King of Chu, what he said is just to make himself uncomfortable. Not to mention that the emperor will give him a slap in the face, even if the Empress Dowager Zhang hears any gossip, it will be enough for him to drink a pot.
.
Liu Jin said with a smile: "That's what the emperor said, I'm listening carefully."
Zhu Houzhao nodded comfortably, quite satisfied with Liu Jin's attitude, and said: "Immediately let Zhang Yong be the imperial envoy, select seven imperial doctors, and then thirty slaves, and dispatch a large group of new troops to Lianzhou.
The king of Chu and Princess Taikang are ordered to return to Beijing to be married and wait for the birth. Zhang Yong, the safety of the princess along the way will be entrusted to you. If anything happens, you will be responsible. If you can stay safe, I will naturally reward you heavily."
Liu Jin's face suddenly turned into the shape of a bitter gourd. The situation was as Jiao Fang expected. Sure enough, King Chu was going back to Beijing. Before King Chu returned to Beijing, he had to hurry up on the reform. He had to take control of all the government affairs as soon as possible.
It's done in hand, but when it's done, the king of Chu is a foreign minister after all, so what can he do?
However, despite thinking this way, Liu Jin could not help but feel a little uneasy, but she had to force a smile and said: "Is the King of Chu going back to Beijing? I am really happy for your majesty."
Zhang Yong was secretly happy in his heart. Liu Chengfeng had some friendship with him. Although he was now in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, Liu Jin was quite cold-eyed towards him. He had said many bad things about him to the emperor recently. Now Chu Chu
The king came back just in time, and he had someone to rely on.
He hurriedly said: "Even if my slave was stabbed a thousand times, I would not dare to let the King of Chu and His Highness the Princess suffer any loss."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "You guys, you all talk nice. Come on, Zhang Yong, please go down first. Liu Banban, didn't you talk about the reform? Come and talk to me about the reform."
When Zhang Yong heard the reform, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Liu Jin quietly and then withdrew.
Liu Jin stayed, carefully poured tea for Zhu Houzhao, bowed his body and said: "This reform is the most beneficial to the emperor. Those civil and military officials have been talking nonsense in your majesty's ears like flies all day long. Today, your majesty said
Well, let’s talk about this tomorrow. After all, the palace still can’t restrain them. Now the law has been changed and there is an inner factory to supervise their words and deeds. They will not dare to cause trouble anymore, Your Majesty.
Just have fun. As for other matters, your majesty will be blocked by your servants. Jiao Fang just talked to the cabinet and said that not only Zhang Cai nodded, but also Li Dongyang strongly agreed, but Yang Tinghe was a little unhappy.
, Yang Ting is doing bad things with this man. My servant has heard some rumors that he prefers male sex. There are seven or eight prostitutes in the family who are about the same age as your Majesty. What is this? It is really unreasonable. Is this still decent? "
Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "Come on, come on, my ears are ringing with your arrangement. Are you saying that more than half of the cabinet has agreed?" Baidu search, hand typing, provide download of this book.
"Yes." Liu Jin felt bored and had to answer politely.
Zhu Houzhao said: "In that case, let's do it."
"This slave accepts the order." Liu Jin said with a smile.!!!
