Zhu Houzhao came surrounded by Liu Jin and others.
When Zhu Houzhao appeared outside the fire scene of Qingning Palace, his whole body exuded the innocent and lively spirit unique to a child, and his eyes were excited after seeing a big scene, as if he had discovered something. New World.
Since Zhu Houzhao learned that there was a fire in Qingning Palace at night, he has not fallen asleep. He has been urging the eunuchs to go to him to find out the news, but he has not gotten anything useful. Seeing that it is already dawn, he endures He kept coming in person.
The majestic palace burned down to the ruins, and the sight of its former glory and current ruin made him feel that his trip was worthwhile.
When Zhu Youtang saw his son, his facial features were almost twisted together.
"Your Highness, you can't come forward. It's dangerous here."
When Dai Yi saw this scene, before Zhu Youtang could say anything, he went up to grab Zhu Houzhao. But Zhu Houzhao threw his hand away.
Zhu Houzhao came straight to Zhu Youtang, his face a little more solemn, "You slave, you really don't understand the rules, there is a fire in the palace, why don't I come here to check"
< p>Just as he was talking, a beam in the palace not far away was burned down because of the load-bearing pillars below. It fell to the ground with a thud, startling the eunuchs who were cleaning up the fire scene around them, and they all ran away.Zhu Houzhao turned a blind eye and continued, "Didn't my father also teach my son to have compassion? Father, I came late. I don't know if this fire will hurt anyone's life. Is the Empress Dowager okay?"
Zhu Youtang was holding back his anger and was about to order Liu Jin and other East Palace eunuchs to be taken out and beaten.
After hearing what his son said, Zhu Youtang felt both relieved and strange.
This prince has always been fooling around, why did he start to show some humanistic care today
He has changed his gender
Zhu Youtang couldn’t help but go to the side to know his son as his father. Looking at the eunuchs of the East Palace, it goes without saying that these people must have taught the prince what to say.
Zhu Youtang said, "The Empress Dowager is fine, and no one was hurt."
Zhu Houzhao immediately grinned, holding back for a long time in front of his father, and finally couldn't help but show his excitement Zhise said, "Father, I heard that it was Zhang Zhou who was outside the palace. He calculated that there was a fire in Qingning Palace last night, right? This man is so powerful, I have seen him before."
"You see "I passed"
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly changed his words, "I heard about this from Zhu Feng. He said that this man has great supernatural powers. If my father sees him again, can I also let him go to meet him?" Ask for advice."
The eunuchs next to him couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Cough cough cough" Zhu Youtang couldn't help but cough.
Zhu Houzhao never knew how to advance or retreat, and could not see the change in his father's face. He continued to talk about "Father, I also know that this fire was caused by a bolt of lightning from the sky." "
"Humph." Zhu Youtang responded coldly.
Zhu Houzhao’s little eyes were full of curiosity, and he asked eagerly, “Father,How does this lightning strike horizontally or vertically? Don’t worry."
When Liu Jin and others heard this, they were scared to death.
It was helpless to begin with. He accompanied Zhu Houzhao to the fire scene to make nonsense, and he happened to be bumped into by the emperor. A punishment seemed inevitable. This naughty kid was still talking nonsense in front of the emperor, leaving no one alive
As expected, Zhu Youtang also With a sullen expression on his face, he said, "Take him back and confine him for two days. He is not allowed to step out of the East Palace. If there is any violation, the attendants of the East Palace will also punish him."
Probably he also knows that it is useless to restrict his son, this bastard He will definitely find an opportunity to run away. Only by speaking harsh words to those eunuchs and letting them keep a close eye on him can it be possible to really limit the scope of his son's activities.
"Father, I am not wrong, son. "I'm just here to help you with disaster relief."
Zhu Houzhao finally arrived at the fire scene that he had been thinking about for a long time. He barely showed his face. Before he could fully appreciate the shock of the big scene, he was taken back.
"Cough cough cough"
After the prince was taken away by the eunuch of the East Palace, Zhu Youtang was still coughing.
Maybe he caught a cold. He was choked by the smoke, or maybe he was angry with his son.
Xiao Jing reminded, "Your Majesty, the air is very heavy here, you should go back and rest early. "
Zhu Youtang stood there and continued to stare at the fire scene in a daze.
Dai Yidao said, "Your Majesty, it seems to me that what the prince asked about the sky fire is true. The desire for proof. "
"What's the explanation?" Zhu Youtang looked sideways.
Dai Yi continued, "Although many people saw the coming of heavenly fire, it is also possible that everyone was talking about it to shirk responsibility, or that I couldn't see it clearly and thought it was fire from the sky. If you don't ask more people to verify the direction of the lightning, you might be able to know whether they are talking nonsense or not. The prince's expression is just not true. ”
“Yeah. "
When Zhu Youtang heard this, his face improved a lot.
It turned out that his son was not fooling around, but was just concerned about how the fire started.
Not only because he is seeking knowledge, but also because he is rigorous in his work and does not rub dirt in his eyes.
It seems that his son has made some progress.
When the surrounding eunuchs saw this scene, they were still impressed. You, Eunuch Dai, are so good that you can make up for the emperor’s displeasure caused by the prince’s appearance at the scene of the fire and his nonsense
Or how can I say that the Chief of Ceremonies and even the Twenty-Fourth Prison follow your lead
p>
"Someone has been sent to the front hall," Zhu Youtang asked.
Dai Yidao said, "Eunuch Chen has gone over to inform." "
"Alas," Zhu Youtang sighed, "That's it, I'm going to rest first and go to Qianqing Palace. Don't disturb the queen."
"Show off to Qianqing Palace"< /p>
In front of the Fengtian Hall, the ministers are still waiting for the audience.
At this time, Xie Qian was talking to Lin Han, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy. I heard that you have had another baby, Hengda, so happy to congratulate you”
Xie Qian smiled and expressed congratulations to Lin Han.
"Thank you, thank you."
Lin Han also had a bit of pride on his face.
At this time, Lin Han was sixty-four years old. He was very famous in Ming Dynasty academic circles and was a highly respected moral model. However, his only "hobby" that was not very good was giving birth to children. Of course, one wife cannot keep giving birth. This work needs to be completed by constantly taking concubines.
Literati sometimes like this, but Lin Han is among the "best".
Lin Han only had nine sons named in history, and there were even more who did not live to adulthood after birth. When Lin Han's last son, Lin Tingji, was born, Lin Handu Already seventy-eight years old.
Some of these sons also left a mark in history, achieving Lin's feat of "three generations and five ministers".
And now he is only sixty-four. For Lin Han, he is still in the peak period of childbirth.
Xie Qian first talked about irrelevant things, and then asked about necessary matters on behalf of the cabinet, "I heard that you have a man named Zhang Bingkuan coming to Beiyong. Have you ever seen him in Hengda?"
"Who is Zhang Bingkuan?" Lin Han looked puzzled.
Although Zhang Zhou’s previous treatment of the little princess is no longer a secret among the nobles and ministers in the court, Lin Han obviously doesn’t care much about it. Even if he heard it mentioned before, Will be forgotten.
Although Lin Han is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, he is busy with his studies most of the time and rarely comes to the court. This is why Xie Qian hurried over to ask Lin Han when he saw him.
It is said that he was born in Legong, Nanyong, and passed the Yingtianfu Township Examination in one fell swoop. Many scholars criticized him, thinking that he was opportunistic and unworthy of the position. Why, did he go to Beiyong?" Lin Han was still confused.
Xie Qian felt that he could not continue chatting today.
Zhang Zhou was forced by the emperor to be a student in the North Imperial Academy, but you, Lin Hengda, did not know that you, Lin Hengda, were serving as the Imperial Prince’s sacrificial wine
Before Xie Qian could tell the whole story, he saw Chen Kuan hurried over here.
"All ministers, please come back after your absence today."
Chen Kuan's words attracted everyone's attention.
The chief assistant Liu Jian and the Minister of Civil Affairs Tu Fu came forward, and the upright Tu Fu asked, "Why did you quit the court?"
Chen Kuan looked sad and deliberately Slowing down his tone, he said tearfully, "Dear ministers, a fire from heaven fell on Qingning Palace last night, and the fire lasted for nearly midnight. All the palaces around Qingning Palace were burned down. Fortunately, the Queen Mother moved out the day before yesterday, and the people who served her evacuated in time. There was no damage."
"Ah"
There was an uproar.
Tu Yu was shocked and said, "How could this happen?"
Chen Kuan shook his head and said that no more information could be disclosed to the outside world.
While all the ministers were discussing, they seemed toThey were reluctant to leave the palace immediately, because they also realized that it was time for them to use the topic to make a big fuss. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
