Emperor Hongzhi sat on the main seat with Zhu Xiurong in his arms, and took the lead in saying: "Prince, thank you, tell me what's going on?" ”

What's going on? Didn't Emperor Hongji know?

Don't look at Emperor Hongzhi on the surface and look at Kuanren, but in fact, on the inside, he also uses the emperor's mental skills to the extreme.

When Zhu Houzhao saw Emperor Hongzhi, it was completely the posture of a mouse seeing a cat.

On top of this matter, they were originally reasonable, but they were made by his cowering appearance, as if they were making trouble unreasonably.

Before Zhu Houzhao could speak, Xie Zhi took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the fault of this matter is not with the grass people, nor with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Since the mistake is no longer on them, Xie Zhi naturally has to fight for reason.

After Xie Zhi denied his mistake, Emperor Hongzhi spoke: "Heh, you are not wrong, you made the court their chickens and dogs, you are not wrong?" ”

Xie Zhi was right, why should he be afraid of Emperor Hongzhi's coercion, and replied categorically: "The grass people shouldn't be like this, but the grass people can't help it, that Cao Baihu, regardless of the red and white claws, will be punished to the grass people and His Royal Highness, the grass people are to protect His Highness's dignity, and they don't want to let Cao Baihu die ugly, otherwise, if Cao Baihu uses the punishment on His Royal Highness, then he may really be unable to escape death." ”

Zhu Houzhao was full of admiration for Xie Zhi, and he almost gave Xie Zhi a thumbs up in person.

A smile tugged at Emperor Hongzhi's cold face, and he said, "So, Cao Baihu still has to thank you?" ”

Xie Zhi didn't know Emperor Hongzhi's intentions to do this, but who made himself reasonable, he definitely couldn't fall behind on top of the momentum.

"Then Cao Baihu is the kind of person who knows how to repay his kindness?"

Xie Zhi threw the question to Cao Lou.

Cao Lou was now completely frightened by the six gods, and he didn't think about the question thrown by Xie Zhi, so he kowtowed like garlic and replied: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you for reading..."

Cao Lou thanked him like this, and Emperor Hongzhi couldn't hold on to Xie Zhi anymore, and asked in a deep voice: "What is going on with this?" Let's talk about it! ”

Since Emperor Hongzhi let him say, then Xie Zhi is not welcome.

After the grass people and His Royal Highness went out of the palace to drink tea in the Piaoxiang Tea Shop, and at the stall where they were drinking tea, a group of people broke in and smashed the tea shop, saying that the tea in the tea shop was killed yesterday, and was injured when the tea shop owner was theorizing with it, and the father and daughter who sang a small song said a few words for the tea shop owner, which made the head of the person think about the woman, and His Royal Highness and the two of them couldn't see it, so they made a move.

Later, when the battle was fought, this Cao Baihu of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division also appeared in the tea shop with the errand officer, and the person who was the leader thought that he was the person of Shouninghou, and Cao Baihu did not ask about the indiscriminate situation, so he brought back a few grass people. ”

Antecedents and consequences, when Emperor Hongzhi appeared here, Jinyiwei or the spies of the East and West Factories may have reported it, Xie Zhi only needs to explain truthfully, as for how to deal with Emperor Hongzhi's own opinions.

After Xie Zhi's explanation, Emperor Hongzhi didn't say much, and directly asked the rest of the people present.

What Xie Zhi said is completely true, and there has never been any favoritism, whether it is the owner of the tea shop or Cao Lou, they will not deny it.

After being confirmed, Emperor Hongzhi still didn't say much, and said in a deep voice: "Wait for Shouning Hou!" ”

After about a stick of incense, Mu Bin personally led a few brocade guards with Zhang Heling, Shi Yu and others, including the father and daughter who sang a small song, all appeared in the lobby.

Sure enough, Emperor Hongzhi was completely aware of this matter.

Zhang Heling saw Emperor Hongzhi above, and immediately saluted.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't pay attention to Zhang Heling, walked past him and asked Shi Yu on the side, and said, "The prince, but you instructed Cao Lou to catch him here?" ”

The matter is already like this, even if Shi Yu doesn't admit it, he can't do it, kowtow like garlic and reply: "Yes, yes, the villain should die, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and the villain is punished by His Majesty." ”

Then, Emperor Hongzhi asked Zhang Heling, "This person is your person?" ”

Zhang Heling was quite reasonable, and replied directly: "Yes, Shi Yu is the minister's person, but the ministers don't know what he does, if the ministers know, how can they not know His Highness, let His Highness suffer this grievance, Your Majesty, you don't need to look at the minister's face, you can deal with it as you want, even if Your Majesty doesn't deal with it, the minister will definitely be punished with family law." ”

Zhang Heling's character is not much stronger than the previous Xie Zhiqiang, if he says that he doesn't know about it, the ghost won't believe it!

However, even if it was a lie, Emperor Hongzhi was ready to believe it.

"Even if you don't know about this, you should be at fault for not being strict in governance, and the loss of the Piaoxiang Tea Shop will be borne by you, I limit you to restore the tea shop to its original state within three days, and I will find someone to accept it within three days, and you can't find trouble with the tea shop again."

Emperor Hongzhi was more tolerant of Zhang Heling than his own son.

The matter of Piaoxiang Tea Shop was originally started by Zhang Heling, and the loss should have been paid by him.

Just paying for losses is regarded as a punishment for Zhang Heling?

Xie Zhi originally thought that his crossing into the son of a cabinet scholar was already his great creation, and in the future, the entire Beijing Division would not be left sideways by him.

Now he can see clearly, what about the son of the cabinet bachelor, he is still the brother-in-law of the emperor.

The emperor could wipe out his mistakes in public with a single sentence, and none of the people present broke it.

Xie Zhi didn't speak, and Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to have any objections in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

What's more, it is not the first time that Emperor Hongzhi has favored Zhang Heling, and Zhu Houzhao is also used to it.

Then, Emperor Hongzhi said to Zhang Heling: "Shi Yu is your person, and it is up to you to decide what to do with it." ”

With such a lenient punishment, Zhang Heling was still a little reluctant, and said: "Your Majesty, Shi Yuchen can deal with it, but he only pays the tea shop, and the minister probably doesn't have so much silver." ”

Is this a kick in the head by a donkey? Can't see that this is a partiality towards him?

Emperor Hongzhi had a dark face and said in a deep voice: "I don't care, you must be responsible for your mistakes." ”

Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi said: "As for Cao Lou, the commander of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses, he is your person, so he will also be handed over to you to dispose of." ”

Cao Lou wanted to slap Zhang Heling, but he didn't expect to offend a bigger person, and his mind to climb up was completely shattered.

After disposing of all the people who should be dealt with, Emperor Hongzhi did not stay long, and got up directly and said, "Let's drive back to the palace." ”

Xie Zhi accompanied Zhu Houzhao and followed Emperor Hongzhi out of the soldiers and horses, and then submitted his farewell.

"Your Majesty, the East Palace is suspended today, and the grass people haven't been home for several days, and the grass people want to go home and take a look."

Emperor Hongzhi left Xie Zhi in the East Palace to watch Zhu Houzhao, but he couldn't prevent Xie Zhi from going home.

"Go, don't be late tomorrow!"

Zhu Houzhao immediately proposed, saying: "Father, Xie Wu is the companion of Erchen, since he is going home, Erchen will be with him, Father can rest assured, tomorrow, Erchen will definitely return to the palace with Xie Wu early." ”

Zhu Houzhao's performance today was, in general, satisfactory to Emperor Hongzhi.

So he didn't refuse, and said, "Go ahead, don't make trouble!" ”

This is probably the standard admonition of all fathers to their stubborn sons.

Zhu Houzhao replied helplessly: "Yes, Erchen knows." ”

Zhu Houzhao had to go home with Xie Zhi, but Xie Zhi couldn't help but agree, so he could only take him home together.

This is also why Emperor Hongzhi is not worried that Xie Zhi will take Zhu Xiurong again, otherwise, Zhu Xiurong will have to go back with him.
