Chapter 162: Xie Zhi's Scheme
Xiao Jing took the will of Emperor Hongzhi almost to the clouds with Zhang Yong.
In the county office, after Xiao Jing announced the edict of Emperor Hongzhi, he smiled on his face and said, "Your Highness, pack up and go back with the slaves, Your Majesty is still waiting there." ”
Zhu Houzhao looked reluctant and asked, "Father, why did you suddenly summon this palace back?" ”
Xiao Jing replied with a smile: "Your Majesty received the gift from His Royal Highness, and bluntly said that His Highness is sensible, and immediately asked the slave and maid to summon His Highness back." ”
Xiao Jing continued to chatter endlessly, and said, "Your Highness left Jingshi and stayed in this poor place for a long time, so you must have thought about returning to the palace for a long time..."
Zhu Houzhao didn't wait for Xiao Jing to finish speaking, and then asked: "You said, my father called the palace back because of the gift from the palace?" ”
Xiao Jing nodded, and before he could reply, Zhu Houzhao killed Xie Zhi with a look.
How could Xie Zhi think of things, and as soon as Emperor Hongzhi was happy, he took Zhu Houzhao back to Beijing.
Without waiting for Zhu Houzhao's question, Xie Zhi got up and said: "Grandpa Xiao sit down for a while, this county and His Highness will hand over the trivial matters in their hands, and after that, His Highness can go back with Grandpa Xiao." ”
Zhu Houzhao was about to speak, but Xie Zhi said again: "Your Highness, let's go, hand over to the minister, and the minister can arrange for others to do it." ”
Xiao Jing is the eyeliner of Emperor Hongzhi, and Zhu Houzhao said any rebellious words in front of Xiao Jing, it was because Xie Zhi's companion did not do it well.
Zhu Houzhao left the main hall with Xie Zhi, and without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to speak, Xie Zhi said: "In front of Grandpa Xiao, you have to pay attention to what you say, Your Highness's words and deeds Grandpa Xiao were handed to Your Majesty, didn't you listen to Grandpa Xiao?" Your Majesty also praised His Highness for being sensible, which means that His Majesty's impression of His Highness has also changed, and His Highness must continue to maintain it. ”
Xie Zhi's words made Zhu Houzhao stunned.
Xie Zhi didn't give Zhu Houzhao room to speak at all, and then said: "It's a good thing for His Royal Highness to return to Beijing, just to recommend the balm to those women in person, Your Highness just needs to say that this balm is specially configured by His Royal Highness for the hard work of the mother, which can not only earn money, but also end up with a reputation of benevolence and filial piety, which is much better than the mother." ”
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "Reasonable, in this way, it is also a good thing for the palace to return to Beijing." ”
Xie Zhi nodded and said: "During this period of time, Your Majesty announced to the outside world that His Royal Highness is studying in the East Palace, except for the subordinates of the East Palace, the rest of the foreign ministers do not know where His Royal Highness is. ”
The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth pulled into a smile, his face was full of excitement, and said, "Can it really be like this?" ”
Xie Zhi nodded again and again, and said: "The minister is the best example, at the beginning, the minister was a little squirrel, and the minister worked a little harder, and now when it comes to the minister, who of them will talk about the ugly things in the past, even if they mention it, they will say that they are young and frivolous, and everyone has lived a few years of indulgent life." ”
Zhu Houzhao was full of excitement and said: "It makes sense, that's good, go back to the palace, and set a good performance in front of those ministers, so that they can take a look." ”
It's good that Zhu Houzhao can listen to it, and he still knows the rights and wrongs of some things.
It's just that there is no competitive pressure, and the inner vices are indulged.
Subsequently, Xie Zhi said: "After Yunzhong becomes a wealthy county comparable to Jiangnan, the news that His Highness is the master here can be released, and when the time comes, His Highness's glorious image of being close to the people and loving the people and rubbing the people's feelings can spread in the hearts of the people. ”
Zhu Houzhao had excitement on his face, and he didn't say more, and after returning to the main hall, he said to Xiao Jing: "This palace is a minister and a son, and the father and emperor have a call, so we can't delay, and this palace will leave for Beijing immediately, but it's just hard for Father-in-law Xiao, and if you don't rest, you have to rush back." ”
Zhu Houzhao's attitude matured a lot in an instant.
This guy is really a drama spirit.
Xiao Jing could hear Zhu Houzhao say this, there was a warm current in his heart, he smiled and said, "This is what a slave should do, if Your Highness cleans it up, then let's go." ”
Without delay, without stopping, Zhu Houzhao and Xiao Jing's team soon left the clouds.
......
The Mid-Autumn Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has been around since ancient times.
Early in the morning, the palace began to hold a dinner party, and it was a long-established rule to invite ministers to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Anyone who can come to the palace for a banquet must at least be a civil and military minister of the third rank or above, a knighthood of the lord, a lady of the title, the wife of the honor, and the wife of the emperor who trusts the minister of civil and military affairs.
The wives of Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang, three cabinet scholars, are naturally on the banquet list for this Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Xie entered the palace dressed neatly.
These women were entertained by Empress Zhang in Kunning Palace.
In order to sell his balm, Zhu Houzhao specially rushed to Kunning Palace to ask for peace when these women entered the palace.
"The queen mother, the son-in-law read a few more books, forgot the time for a while, and came late."
When Empress Zhang saw her son, she was full of love and said with a smile: "Reading is important, since you are here, let's sit down." ”
Although these women entered the palace early in the morning, the feast did not really begin in the evening.
Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers still have to deal with government affairs.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao did not need to rush to Emperor Hongzhi early.
Zhu Houzhao just wanted to sit down, and smiled at Empress Zhang's words and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." ”
Zhu Houzhao wanted to stay, and Empress Zhang also wanted her to stay.
Zhu Houzhao came back from the clouds, and he was indeed not as good as usual, and he was a lot more stable, and Queen Zhang also wanted to show off in front of these women.
Zhu Houzhao sat down as he said, sat upright, and did not dare to move in the slightest during the whole process.
After waiting for a long time, these women said this and that, but none of them mentioned the special fragrance on Empress Zhang's body.
Zhu Houzhao sat far away, and they all smelled it, but they didn't smell it?
Just when Zhu Houzhao was impatient, a cool breeze came out, and his wife who was not a big uncle, Zhang Heling, opened her mouth and asked, "Which one is this incense powder?" It's so fragrant, and I don't get tired of it at all..."
Immediately, his second uncle Zhang Yanling's wife echoed and said, "Yes, yes, the concubine also smelled it, hey, this is from the mother..."
After Mrs. Zhang Heling smelled it, she gave an answer, saying, "Yes, it's from Niangniang..."
The two of them were like flies seeing meat in an instant, and suddenly leaned over and asked, "What did Niangniang use?" ”
These two didn't just ask what Empress Zhang was using, they wanted to get something like this out of Empress Zhang's hands.
is not a family, does not enter a family, this virtue is really the same as Zhang Heling.
The two wanted to know what Empress Zhang was using, and the other women also pricked up their ears to know an answer.
It is a woman's nature to love beauty.
Empress Zhang is not afraid of being known, she is still worried about not being known, smiled slightly, and said: "This is sent by the prince to the palace, how did he get it, the palace is not very clear, now he happens to be there, go ask him, Zhao'er, you can tell me." ”
Zhu Houzhao was waiting for this opportunity, without dragging the mud and water at all, put down the teacup in his hand, and said directly: "This palace wants to give a different gift to the queen mother, and wants to make the queen mother happy, so he figured out this balm, this balm is prepared by the queen mother herself, and it will have a fragrance when applied to a small piece on the body, and if you put it at home, you can also achieve a full fragrance." ”
If you are embarrassed to ask for it when you meet other people, Zhu Houzhao's two aunts' faces have already reached the thickness of the city wall, how can they be embarrassed.
Mrs. Zhang Heling opened her mouth and said, "Your Highness, can you..."
In the past, Zhu Houzhao may have pretended not to understand, but now he doesn't need to pretend at all, so he said helplessly: "This palace should be given to my aunt, but my aunt also knows that my father is diligent and thrifty, and the monthly silver in the East Palace is very tight, and the cost of a box of this balm must be at least thirty taels or more. ”
Mrs. Zhang Heling's face was unwilling, and Xie Zhi said to the other women: "All the heads of the family are loyal to my Daming, if anyone wants it, the palace can be configured, and you take the price." ”
Zhu Houzhao is so atmospheric, his image is instantly much taller.
A group of women have started bookings.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear the excitement in his heart and shouted: "Zhang Yong, you come to remember, but go to the house to get the money, and after taking the money, immediately go to purchase raw materials." ”
