Kunning Palace.
Queen Zhang was listening to Zhang Yong’s description of the fasting ceremony held in the palace houyuan the day before yesterday.
Zhu Xiurong was running around next to her, making a "clucking" sound like a little hen laying eggs. Empress Zhang tried to pull her daughter over several times, but she ran away.
Zhang Yong also finished the matter intermittently amidst the little princess's troubles.
"The Empress Dowager didn't say anything to them"
Empress Zhang somewhat guessed the old lady's motives.
To say how worried she is, it’s not that big of a deal.
Empress Zhang was not the kind of woman who was good at strategizing and fighting in the palace, and Hongzhi never gave her a chance to practice it.
She has only one goal, which is to tie her husband tightly, and then use her power to eliminate all hidden dangers in the palace.
As for palace fighting, it can only be achieved when a group of women compete for favor, so she is confident that she does not have to worry about it.
She knows better than anyone how her husband will behave when meeting strangers.
Zhang Yong replied, "The Empress Dowager did not say anything during the banquet. She just heard that the Gongsheng named Zhang was summoned. Now everyone in the palace calls him Zhang Xianshi."
< p>When Queen Zhang heard Zhang Zhou's name, her expression became serious.Then she asked the female officer on the side to take the little princess to the back hall to play.
"Is that Zhang Bingkuan really that powerful? It seems that everyone in the palace has been possessed by the devil recently. His Majesty even mentions him when he is fine."
Queen Zhang was jealous.
No stranger in the past could win such trust and respect from her husband. Even Li Guang only developed a relationship because the emperor always served him by his side when he was young.
Empress Zhang was not that worried about Li Guang. After all, Li Guang was a eunuch and could not escape her grasp.
But Zhang Zhou is different. Zhang Zhou is a person outside the palace, and it is not easy to completely control him.
What’s even worse is that Zhang Zhou is still a scholar. Maybe after becoming a Jinshi, Zhang Zhou joined forces with those civil servants.
What civil servants like to mention the most is for the emperor to have concubines, just like the kings in ancient times. The reason is particularly lofty, which is called "preserving heirs through wide coverage".
Zhang Yong said with lingering fear, "I heard that this person not only has supernatural powers, but he is also easy-going. He can chat with anyone, he is not pretentious, and he can say whatever he wants."
“Who is this?”
Queen Zhang didn’t understand.
Being able to speak within the palace system and be able to act as one pleases seemed something even she, the queen, could not do.
"Is Your Majesty going to see Zhang Bingkuan again?"
Empress Zhang became somewhat vigilant and wanted to go to her husband to discuss this issue in depth.
Zhu Houzhao was not the only one who kept an eye on the emperor's movements.
Zhu Houzhao only occasionally kept an eye on his father to see if he was going to the East Palace, while Empress Zhang had to keep an eye on her husband at all times.Every move she makes is mainly because she is afraid of some vixen trying to charm her husband.
The husband controls the world, but she only needs to control her husband alone.
Zhang Yongdao, "Your Majesty met the prince in the front hall. It is said that the prince punished the people in the East Palace because of his playfulness two days ago, and the prince went to intercede."
"Oh."
When she heard that her son was going, Empress Zhang felt relieved. Her husband was concerned about his son's studies.
As long as her husband is not seeing Zhang Zhou all the time, she can accept it.
In the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Houzhao was talking eloquently in front of his father, and according to Zhang Zhou's instructions, he did not deliberately contradict his father.
The meaning expressed is summarized
One person does the work and the other person is responsible.
"Father, the fault lies with you. I should not play with those things. I must care about my own identity. I cannot be like the children of ordinary people in the market, let alone lose my temper with my father." . I am willing to bear all the blame for this matter."
"Why don't you continue to confine me to my father for ten days? I just ask my father not to embarrass Liu Jin. He just listens to his orders. He is at fault, but he is not responsible for it."
Zhu Youtang felt very comfortable hearing what Zhu Houzhao said.
My son seems to have finally grown up. After making a mistake, he still has the courage to admit it and has a sense of responsibility.
This is much better than before I left the government to study, and it is also a huge improvement from a few months ago.
It was mainly because Zhu Youtang was relieved.
Think about it. His son was just playing, and it was not study time. His son’s homework had been completed. Although he had always asked his son to follow the rules like himself, he did not want his son to follow the old rules.
Even Zhu Youtang knew how depressing his life was from childhood to adolescence.
Zhu Youtang said with a straight face, "I really know I was wrong."
"Yes, Father."
Zhu Houzhao felt a little happy in his heart .
Seeing his father’s reaction, it seemed that Zhang Zhou’s words made sense, and Zhang Zhou was right.
Zhu Youtang nodded and said, "Then how did you figure it out?"
"This"
Zhu Houzhao never knew how to answer.
This question is a bit out of scope.
How did I figure it out? Is this a problem? I want to tell you my thoughts over the past few days
The key is that I didn’t figure it out either.
It was just Zhang Zhou who asked me to say so, so I did so.
I want to say that this was taught by Zhang Zhou, will my father beat me?
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and then said seriously, "I thought of it when I thought of it. I don't know how." I thought of it, Father, please let Liu Jin go and punish the son and minister alone."
Zhu Youtang said, "What did the Zhang Qing family tell you?"
Zhi Zi Mo Ruo. father.
If no one taught his son, how could Zhu Houzhao be like this?Be obedient and well-behaved
Zhu Houzhao said, "The Zhang Qing family just asked the son to think about what was wrong in this, and then think about whether the responsibility should fall on others. I think so. Liu Jin is just following orders." It's not his fault, I don't want him to take the responsibility for it."
"Yes."
Zhu Youtang nodded with satisfaction.
Although the son couldn't explain it clearly, the father understood very well that the teacher's way of educating his son was correct.
Let your son think, summarize, and then recognize his mistake and apologize
As elders, they probably hope that their younger generations will be such obedient and good children.
"Where is Liu Jin?" Zhu Youtang asked Dai Yi who was standing aside.
Dai Yi respectfully said, "Send him to the Huanyi Bureau as a supervisor."
Zhu Youtang said, "Send him back and explain to him clearly that this time the prince is interceding for him. I only gave him a small punishment but a big warning, and fined him three months' salary. If he messes around with the prince again in the future, he will not be tolerated for multiple crimes."
"Yes"
Dai Yi thought.
This Liu Jin was also very lucky. He was not killed by the emperor, only beaten, but he seemed to be a blessing in disguise.
The prince was actually willing to speak for Liu Jin.
Your Majesty admires the prince's sense of responsibility, even letting Liu Jin go
That Mr. Zhang is still capable.
But why did Mr. Zhang speak for Liu Jin? It seems that excusing Liu Jin was not Mr. Zhang’s purpose. Mr. Zhang just wanted to learn to make the prince responsible
That’s right.
Mr. Zhang has won the trust of the emperor. A eunuch from the East Palace counts as his eldest brother. Mr. Zhang must have a hard time with Liu Jin.
"Okay, I won't punish you too much, but you have to do your homework." You must step up and recite the Book of Songs before the end of the year, and learn all the words that need to be learned. I will also test you before the end of the year."
"Yes, Father"
Zhu Houzhao Very happy.
Not only did he not suffer, he also "fished" Liu Jin out and won his father's appreciation at the same time.
He almost wanted to get back his confiscated role-playing property, but he held back at the last moment.
Because he remembered Zhang Zhou’s words again.
You have to do things that suit your identity, even if you have to play.
Zhu Houzhao returned to the East Palace.
After seeing his son, Zhu Youtang was in a good mood. He boasted to Dai Yi and other eunuchs, "You still have to rely on Bingkuan at critical times."
Everyone The eunuch was also thinking in his mind.
His Majesty holds people up so high, and it’s okay to keep them that high. I’m not afraid that one day he will suddenly withdraw his power and make people fall down
I’m afraid he will be like Li Guang again.
Xiao Jing reminded from the side, "Your Majesty, Wang Yue, the left minister of the Ministry of War, has been waiting outside the palace for a long time."
"Oh, by the way, why did you forget him? Call in."
After a while, Wang Yue appeared in Qianqing Palace in court uniform.
Kneel down immediately when you see the emperor.
Zhu Youtang said, "Why do Wang Qing's family get up and speak? This is not a court hall, so there is no need to be too strict about etiquette."
Wang Yue refused to get up and knelt down. He looked very pious, "This life of this old minister was given by your majesty. On the way back to the capital, the old minister suffered from a sudden illness. If it were not for the medicine given by your majesty, the old minister would not have the chance to return to the capital to gamble on his beauty."
< p> Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and others next to him were all laughing.This is Wang Yue.
Everyone knows how much he likes to curry favor with internal officials, even the emperor.
Finally got a chance to "repay the favor", Lao Wang must show his incomparable loyalty to the emperor.
This is also a way and means of being an official. Regardless of whether you are capable or not, you first place yourself in a very low position. To put it bluntly, it makes people feel that you have control over him, and then he will gain more political convenience.
And Wang Yue wanted to make the emperor feel how grateful he was for the emperor's kindness.
"That's not the medicine I gave you. It's Bingkuan who belongs to Zhang Zhou and Zhang Qing's family. He is Jieyuan from the Jiangnan Provincial Examination. If you want to thank him, just go and thank him."
< p>Zhu Youtang did not take credit.Zhang Zhou did it originally, and he didn’t mind telling Wang Yue who his savior was.
If you want to ask for that life-saving medicine again, go to Zhang Zhou and don't bother me.
There are many people who are fawning over me. It’s not like I don’t know who you are, and your tricks won’t work.
Wang Yue had just returned from the northwest and was not very well informed. He didn’t know who Zhang Zhou was.
So his face was full of doubts.
Zhu Youtang said to Xiao Jing, "When you send Wang Qing's family out of the palace, explain the whole story to him."
"Yes." Xiao Jing answered.
Zhu Youtang said to Wang Yue, "Wang Qing's family, you have done a good job in the northwest, and I am willing to value you. However, your military achievements this time are still not satisfactory, and I can't pay you back." Please understand the title. In the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, I will work hard for the court. "
"Old minister, Wang Yue is very concerned about the title being taken away.
With the "great victory" in Helan Mountain, he thought he could be knighted again, but the emperor also made it clear that your contribution this time was still far from being knighted.
Wang Yue could only lament that he was born at the wrong time.
The Tatars will not come out in full force. Even if I bring all my troops and horses to kill them, I will not be able to touch the main force.
