Chapter 441 Please ask

Imperial Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

Zhu Xiurong is now an older child who is about to celebrate her seventh birthday. At this time, she is sitting on a stool and looking seriously at Zhu Houxuan lying on a small bed. Her eyes are shining as if she has discovered a new world.

Zhu Youtang is not here, only Concubine Xian is.

Concubine Xian seemed very unconfident when facing Queen Zhang. Even when facing Zhu Xiurong, she seemed hesitant to speak.

"The princess and the prince are still ill, so I don't want to infect you." Concubine Xian said.

"It's okay." Zhu Xiurong said very clearly, "I have been seriously ill. My father said that my life is very hard, and it will not be easy for God to take me away in the future. I look at my brother, my mother Concubine, you don’t have to look at me anymore, I’ll leave after reading it.”

At Zhu Xiurong’s age, she doesn’t mean anything bad, she just makes the attendants in Xinuan Pavilion feel nervous.

After all, Zhu Xiurong is also a direct descendant of the Queen. She thinks it’s fun to come see her younger brother who is less than one year old. But if she wants to pick up her younger brother and play with him, what will happen if something goes wrong? In the end, it was not the servants who had no say who were blamed.

But fortunately, Zhu Xiurong had no intention of taking action. She may simply think that a child less than one year old is cute and like a big toy. Just the same.

"Mother, it's so warm here. Can I come here more often in the future?" Zhu Xiurong asked.

"Yes." Concubine Xian could not refuse, "But we moved here only because the prince was ill. After the prince recovered, we moved back."

Zhu Xiurong said, "He is still so young. If he catches a cold, it won't be too troublesome. I have to suffer from the cold. I have a runny nose every time, cough and shortness of breath. It's so boring. Hehe, he is so cute when he smiles."

Just as she was talking, Ning Tong walked in from the door, and it was time again for her to check on the little prince's condition once a day.

Zhu Xiurong was very happy to see Ning Tong. He almost jumped up and said, "You are the miracle doctor they call you, right?"

Ning Tong looked confused.

Where did this little girl come from?

Concubine Xian said, "Mrs. Ning, this is Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Ning Tong said to her heart, in this palace It is true that no one can afford to mess with this little girl. She is the princess of the Ming Dynasty. She is the only daughter of the current emperor who was once pulled back from death due to acne by Zhang Bingkuan

Related Zhang Zhou treated Zhu Xiurong and used this to induce the miracle medicine to prevent and treat smallpox, which was widely spread among the people.

In addition to being grateful for Zhang Zhou's kindness, the people also regarded Zhu Xiurong as the "lucky star" of the Ming Dynasty.

Look.

Daughters of other royal families will still get sick. If it were not for the illness of the emperor’s daughter, Zhang Banxian would not have won the emperor’s trust and spread the magic medicine throughout the Ming Dynasty to benefit the people. , it can be said that this little princess is a beacon to the people.

After the ceremony.

Zhu Xiurong went up and pulled Ning Tong’s sleeves and said, “FemaleMiracle doctor, you are so powerful. Can you teach me your medical skills? I want to learn. When my brother gets sick, I will treat him. ”

It turns out that Zhu Xiurong came to Xinuang Pavilion not only to see his brother, but also to use the heater. The other purpose was to meet the goddess doctor who is rumored to be very evil in the palace. For Zhu Xiurong, it was like hope in a boring life.

There was not often anything new in the palace, but when a goddess doctor was helpless about her brother's condition in the Imperial Hospital, Standing up and curing her brother with this may be more vivid and real than those false stories, which made her yearn for it

Ning Tong said, " Your Highness, the daughter of the people doesn't know much about medicine and can't teach you anything.

Zhu Xiurong tilted his head slightly and said with a puzzled look on his face, "How is that possible? There are rumors that your medical skills are so good that even the imperial doctors at Tai Hospital cannot compare with you. I want to learn from you." I won't harm anyone with my medical skills. "

Just as he was talking, the eunuch from Kunning Palace came in and walked up and said, "Your Highness, the Queen is looking for you everywhere. The slave girl pays her respects to the Concubine Xian. ”

The eunuch of Kunning Palace, after all, is quite powerful. He came in to talk to Zhu Xiurong first, and then saluted Concubine Xian.

His words also showed that Queen Zhang was not Knowing that her daughter came here was because Zhu Xiurong was running around in the palace.

It was also because she started to grow up and had certain opinions, and Zhu Youtang doted on her little cotton-padded jacket. , there were no taboos for her anywhere in the palace, she could go wherever she wanted, she just went to Fengtian Palace to watch the excitement when her father was in court early.

But when she got up in the morning. She has done this more than once or twice when ministers go to court.

Zhu Xiurong said, "I came to see my brother and learn about the medical skills of the goddess. "

The eunuch said, "Your Highness, it is useless for you to study medicine. Someone will diagnose your illness. And Master Zhang Xian.

Zhu Xiurong pursed his lips and said, "You all say that Master Zhang Xian is great, but I have never seen him. I have long forgotten that he treated me before." ”

The eunuch couldn’t laugh or cry. He wanted to pull the princess away, but he knew that he was not qualified to do so. He wanted Concubine Xian to help, but now he was on Concubine Xian’s territory, and this was where the emperor usually rested and handled matters. The house was only temporarily converted into a place for living and working.

Perhaps if Zhu Houxuan had not been ill, Zhu Youtang would not have returned to Qianqing Palace to handle official duties.

Ning Tong. He said, "Your Highness, Duke Cai Guo did not come to treat your acne in person. He calculated that you were going to be sick from afar and sent you the medicine all the way. No one understood why he did this at the time." "

"Really?" Zhu Xiurong asked, "How do you know?"

Even the people around him looked at Ning Tong curiously, thinking how do you know so many secrets

p>

Ning Tong thought to herself

Zhang Bingkuan still instigated my ex-husband to come to the capital to deliver medicine. After delivering the medicine, he went to the Duke’s Mansion to discuss selling grain.Bragging in front of me is disrespectful to me. I am a person who has personally experienced this matter. How could I not know about it?

Ning Tong said, "The daughter of the people already knew Cai Guogong at that time."

It is rare for Zhu Xiurong to see a stranger in the palace, but a woman like Ning Tong who seems to be independent and independent. This quality even in Empress Zhang There is none on Concubine Xian.

Women in this era rely too much on men, and people like Ning Tong, who have taken the lead and established their own businesses, have an indescribable fortitude in them, and what she said The content was something Zhu Xiurong had never been exposed to before, so it immediately attracted Zhu Xiurong's attention.

Ning Tong said, "The daughter of the common people has to diagnose the third prince first. Can Her Royal Highness the Princess wait for the diagnosis first before talking about it?"

"Yes."

Zhu Xiurong looks very naughty, but one good thing about her is that she is very reasonable.

She is not as unruly and willful as the little girl, probably because this quality has been passed on to Zhu Houzhao too much, so that all she embodies is curiosity about the whole world.

Just when Ning Tong was giving Zhu Houxuan a follow-up consultation.

Zhu Youtang also received a new letter from Zhang Zhou, mentioning some time and plans for his upcoming return to the capital.

"Your Majesty." Li Rong came in, because he did not need to report his entry and exit. After entering, he just said hello to the emperor and told him that he was here, and then he waved his hand to give a few standing orders. The little eunuch, who was sweating all over his head, retreated.

Zhu Youtang did not raise his head.

Li Rong said, "The little princess entered Xinuan Pavilion and didn't come out for a long time."

Zhu Youtang said with a nonchalant expression, "It doesn't matter, Xiu Rong is usually well-behaved, she has already said I want to see more of my brother. The last time I held him in her arms, she showed her sister's love for her brother. The same goes for her pure and virtuous concubine. Maochun, look at it, Bingkuan. I'll be back soon."

Zhu Youtang would not easily share Zhang Zhou's memorials with others, and this time it was rare for him to show them to Li Rong. < /p>

Zhu Youtang said, "Yes, I hope he stays in the court. If anything happens, I can discuss it with him. Even if there is a dispute between him and his ministers, he will come out to speak for me." . But I also know that this will put him on the opposite side of the ministers, and he will always be separated from those people."

When he said this, Zhu Youtang felt a little sad.

Li Rong saw it.

The emperor wanted to respect Zhang Zhou, but at the same time he was afraid that this kind of respect would make Zhang Zhou a loner in the government and the public, and Zhang Zhou would encounter too many unnecessary criticisms.

"Bingkuan has not yet decided when he will return to Beijing. What I mean is to let him choose a good time and I will personally go out of the city to greet him." Zhu Youtang smiled.road.

Li Rong hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty, your dragon body is the most important thing. It will be extremely cold after autumn this year. I am afraid that the temperature will drop again in a few days."

Zhu Youtang said "This year's first snow has not fallen yet. My idea is that on the day Bingkuan comes back, the first snow of early winter will fall. Bingkuan and I will walk in the snow to let the ministers and the people know that we have always been together. We cherish each other for a long time, so that even God can be inspired."

While Zhu Youtang was talking, he seemed to be looking forward to the beautiful scene of "Auspicious snow welcomes Bingkuan".

This shows that in order to prevent you from being criticized, I reluctantly asked you to leave the capital and go to the south of the Yangtze River. Now I finally welcome you back. Even God is moved by this.

Li Rongdao: "This is not easy to calculate, right?"

This is embarrassing.

"If others can't do it, why can't Bingkuan do it? I just hope that the first snow won't fall in these two days. Otherwise, it will ruin the atmosphere." Zhu Youtang said, "I also hope that the people will know that where there is Bingkuan, we will definitely do it in the coming year." If everything goes smoothly, he can accumulate prestige among the people, so that there will be much less criticism against him, and it will be easier for him to establish himself in the court in the future."

Li Rong said with emotion, "Your Majesty is Cai. The state's power is so great for both the government and the public."

Zhu Youtang shook his head and said, "You can say this to others, but forget it about Bingkuan. He has a lot of kindness to me and the Ming Dynasty. , Besides, I don’t say when the snow will fall, it depends on him.”

Li Rong asked, “Will all the officials from the DPRK and the Central Government also go to welcome it that day?”

"No need." Zhu Youtang said, "This is a personal relationship between me and Bingkuan. Why bother the courtiers? If we go to the court to greet them, I'm afraid they will be gossiped about again. Besides, I am too To welcome the prince"

Not only to welcome Zhang Zhou, after all, Zhu Houzhao was also returning to the court with Zhang Zhou.

If there is such a snow when Zhu Houzhao returns to the court, it will also show that this prince can still be recognized by God.

"Okay, let's go to Kunning Palace and see the queen. I haven't seen her in a while."

After hearing this, Li Rong thought, what a shame. Your Majesty still remembers your wife

In Kunning Palace.

Zhu Youtang, Empress Zhang and Zhu Xiurong sat down to eat. In the past, it was common for a family to sit down and eat together. But since Zhu Houzhao left, Concubine Xian gave birth to Zhu Houxuan again. Zhu Youtang’s relationship with Kunning Palace It seems that he has lost interest. Recently, let alone coming over to spend the night, he rarely even shows up.

"Father, my son wants to learn medical skills from Ning Nvguan. Her medical skills are very powerful. They are all saying that when I learn it, my father and mother, as well as the emperor's brother, younger brother, mother and concubine, etc. When they are sick, their ministers can diagnose their illness."

When Zhu Xiurong saw Zhu Youtang, he quickly put forward his ideal.

Study medicine.

As a princess, there is no need to learn the Four Books and Five Classics. The most you can learn is to read and write, as well as an introduction to women's studies that involves the three cardinal principles and five constant principles.

Zhu YouZang said, "Ning is not suitable to teach you."

"Why?" Zhu Xiurong asked with a puzzled look on his face.

This makes it difficult for Zhu Youtang to answer.

Empress Zhang asked, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Ning was the former wife of Marquis Anbian. Now Marquis Anbian has made great contributions to the country and has never remarried. Why not let them remarry?" Leaving the house after getting married is in itself a disgrace to one's moral character."

Queen Zhang was so enthusiastic about helping Ning Tong and Zhu Feng to match up, so she naturally wanted to prevent Ning Tong from being affected by her husband.

She also saw that Concubine Xian was easy to deal with, as she was from a small family.

But this Ning Tong is not simple. After Zhu Feng became famous, she still decisively divorced her. With Zhang Zhou's help, a common girl is qualified to associate with the palace.

If she becomes a concubine, there will be no peace in the palace.

Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "This is a matter for the young couple. I will not interfere too much. Ahem, Bingkuan will return to Beijing recently."

Obviously Zhu You Zang didn’t want to talk about this topic.

As an emperor, it is okay to help Bingkuan get married. If Zhu Zhijie wants to win my favor, he must show enough ability.

But Zhu Zhijie has really disappointed me recently.

"Xiurong, don't be sad. What I mean is that Ning's medical skills were all learned from Bingkuan, your imperial brother's Mr. Zhang. He will return to the capital soon. In the future, when he occasionally enters the palace, let him teach you, and you will learn faster." Zhu Youtang's heart still cares for his daughter.

Zhu Xiurong blinked and asked innocently, "Father, is Mr. Zhang really powerful? I have asked many people this question, and they all said it differently. But Ms. Ning also said that in fact, he is very good. Awesome."

"Haha." Zhu Youtang smiled and glanced at his wife.

Empress Zhang knew what her husband meant. She said, "Your Majesty, Bingkuan is a first-class capable minister in our Ming Dynasty. It can be said that there is nothing in heaven and earth that he does not know." , He can even figure out things about ghosts and gods. Your two uncles used to be very picky about him, but now they respect him very much and say that they want to learn from him when he comes back. "

But Empress Zhang was obviously a bit "containing personal goods", and she was not satisfied if she mentioned the Zhang brothers.

"Queen, He Ling and Yan Ling have been in the capital recently, and it's a bit embarrassing. You should take good care of them when you have time." Zhu Youtang did not specify what was going on.

Anyway, the Zhang brothers have a lot of things to say, so whipping up the whip can always keep these two boys quiet for two days.

Empress Zhang said, "They don't have positions in the Beijing camp. Your Majesty should give them better training opportunities."

Zhu Youtang said impatiently, "Then wait until Bingkuan comes back. After that, we discussed together. In fact, many of the errands in the Governor's Mansion have been idle recently, and it doesn't matter if they are empty. After all, the Tatars don't dare to do anything casually now.I've violated the situation. At this time, I still put the big things first. "

The so-called big event is probably Zhang Zhou's return to the court.

Before Zhang Zhou comes back, everything can be put on hold.

"Yes. "Empress Zhang was different from before, she seemed very docile and no longer argued.

She seemed to have heard some clues.

She wanted her two younger brothers to get good jobs in Beijing. , then we must first make a fuss about Zhang Zhou, at least to win over Zhang Zhou.

"Father, where is the minister?" Zhu Xiurong was afraid that his father would forget his request.

Zhu Youtang smiled and touched his daughter's little head and said, "When Bingkuan comes back, you will officially become his teacher and go to school with your brother. ”

“Yeah. Zhu Xiurong nodded firmly, "It's best to add Miss Ning. She speaks very interestingly, and I also want to learn from her." ”

Zhu Youtang saw that his daughter was obsessed with Ning Tong, and he thought to himself, what if the daughter whom Ning Tong had taught her was bad?

A woman, what she wants is How to be independent is not a good social custom.

"In the future, Ning will teach you, but not to learn medical skills, but to learn skills and assist me and your brother in running the country in the future."

"I know, father, thank you, father." Zhu Xiurong was very happy.

Zhang Zhou was about to return to the capital.

He came to Zhu Youtang to explain. There are many people who want people with connections in their family to get closer to Zhang Zhou.

The Empress Dowager Zhou will naturally mention the Zhou family's children to him, and even his sister, Princess Yongkang, will take advantage of it. When he entered the palace to pay his respects to Queen Mother Zhou, he specially requested an order to go to Qianqing Palace to meet Zhu Youtang and proposed that the eldest princess’ consort Cui Yuan should study with Zhang Zhou.

“Yongkang, I have always taken care of you. , it’s also because your mother and concubine died young, why are you even more ignorant of the rules now?”

Zhu Youtang is slightly dissatisfied with Yongkang.

Yongkang’s mother Guo Huifei, when Guo Huifei passed away, Yongkang He is only thirteen years old.

Although Zhu Youtang doesn’t have much affection for his father, he still takes good care of his younger brothers and sisters.

Yongkang said, “Brother, all men from other families are like this. Those who have become generals and prime ministers, why can't those from my family do it? Now Zhang Zhou is already Cai Guogong. With such a capable person, anyone who follows him can get ahead. Do you believe even outsiders, but not even your brother-in-law? Cui Yuan He is also motivated, and he also wants to make contributions and contribute to the country's security. "

Zhu Youtang frowned and said, "My brother-in-law is a scholar. Do you want him to go to war?"

"That's okay. Yongkang said, "As long as he can make progress, he can do anything. I'm afraid that the emperor won't give him a chance." ”

“That will only happen if Bingkuan likes it. When Bingkuan comes back, you can ask your consort to sign up with the people who are interested in studying the martial arts hall. We will tell you if you can pass the exam.” Zhu Youtang said casually Perfunctory.

"Examination"

Yongkang was also shocked

As the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, my husband went to a martial arts hall and had to take an exam.

"Treat everyone equally" Zhu Youtang's tone seemed non-negotiable. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
