Xie Zhi saw Zhu Houzhao in the side hall, and the first thing he saw was Zhu Houzhao with dark circles under his eyes.

Xie Zhi could also guess that Zhu Houzhao's life was not easy, and at this time of anxiety, he finally gave up his mind to make fun of it, and asked: "The time of the early dynasty is coming soon, how can Your Highness not pass." ”

Mentioning this question, the sorrow on Zhu Houzhao's face became heavier, and he pulled Xie Zhi and asked: "The only person my father summoned yesterday was Xi, what did my father tell you?" Do you know? Yesterday, my father summoned an unprecedented bar dancer into the palace, and the sheng flute was noisy all night, and it didn't stop until dawn. ”

Hongzhi had already been angry with Xie Zhi about this matter, and Xie Zhi was not too surprised by what Zhu Houzhao said, his face was quite indifferent, but he said angrily: "Is it?" How can Your Majesty do this? Your Majesty is not such a person, Your Highness, you must have heard it wrong. ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little speechless, could he hear such a big thing wrong?

The sound of the sheng flute spread throughout the palace all night, if he was the only one who heard it, then maybe he heard it wrong, and the palace people in the entire palace heard it, so what was going on?

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Xie Zhi, and said angrily: "Gu Dayong, you said, did you hear it wrong in this palace?" ”

Gu Dayong knew the relationship between Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao very well, whether it was in front of Xie Zhi or not, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and when he heard Zhu Houzhao's inquiry, he nodded and responded: "What His Highness said is right, the slave can prove it." ”

Since Zhu Houzhao brought the proof, Xie Zhi didn't say much, and said, "Really? How did Your Majesty suddenly become like this? ”

After Xie Zhi just responded, Zhu Houzhao pulled Xie Zhi and said, "You tell the truth to this palace, what did your father say to you yesterday?" ”

Xie Zhi is very embarrassed, this matter is really not enough for outsiders, since he promised Emperor Hongzhi, not to mention Zhu Houzhao, the person who should not know the most, even his father can't say it.

Xie Zhiguo said to him left and right, and replied vaguely: "What did you say?" Your Majesty and His Highness have nothing to say, and the ministers have something to say, Your Majesty only said that the ministers should be auxiliary generals and help His Highness well, and the others didn't say anything. ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless and said, "Didn't you say anything?" I don't know why, why did my father suddenly do this, and I couldn't see my father when I wanted to see him. ”

Xie Zhi is also helpless about this issue, it is Emperor Hongzhi who is gone, and it is not that he does not let him see it.

didn't get the answer he wanted from Xie Zhi's mouth, but he had to go to the early dynasty.

For the next early dynasty, Zhu Houzhao was a little lacking in confidence, and asked: "Xie Wu, there will definitely be people above the early dynasty who will speak to the voice of the sheng flute in the palace yesterday, and it is indeed wrong for the father to do this matter, as a son of man, this palace can always say that the father and the emperor are above this matter, right?" ”

Zhu Houzhao can think of this, which shows that he still has his own unique views on this matter, and he lacks confidence, but he lacks experience.

Regarding Zhu Houzhao's embarrassment, Xie Zhi replied: "This matter is easy to say, the minister will deal with it, the minister will not believe it, with the knowledge of the minister and the genius of His Royal Highness, he will not be able to deal with those courtiers." ”

Xie Zhi has really done a lot of things to help Zhu Houzhao, Xie Zhi has such self-confidence, Zhu Houzhao is also full of confidence, patted the table and got up and said: "Okay, no wonder my father asked you to be this auxiliary general, with you, the confidence of this palace is really enough." ”

Soon, Xie Zhi accompanied Zhu Houzhao to appear in the Fengtian Palace.

Although the current Zhu Houzhao is also in charge of national affairs, he has not officially ascended the throne.

Therefore, he could not sit on the dragon chair that Emperor Hongzhi used to sit on, but could only add a separate chair next to it.

Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao entered the Fengtian Hall together.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the separately added chair, and Xie Zhi greeted Zhu Houzhao with the courtiers who had been waiting in the Fengtian Hall for a long time.

As soon as he saw the ceremony, Zhu Houzhao had just said a word of exemption, and someone stood up and said: "Your Highness, last night in the Qianqing Palace there was the sound of sheng flute all night, Your Majesty is healthy and in the palace, it is not appropriate to hand over the affairs of the country to His Highness, and now there are some such remarks in the Qianqing Palace, how can this reassure the hearts of the subjects of the world, Your Highness is the son of man, or should persuade Your Majesty to take state affairs first." ”

There is really nothing wrong with saying this, after all, no emperor will find the crown prince to supervise the country when he is in the palace.

Although there are many big reasons for not doing this, the biggest one is still worried that the prince's power will be too great, and he will directly kill his father and usurp the throne.

The other is also worried that there will be two sets of wills, and it is difficult to have right and wrong in many things, and these two sets of wills have their own reasons, but once they are promulgated, they will lead to different actions, and of course they will be chaotic.

But having said that, if you want to settle down in the moment, you have to break these doubts.

Some words are not easy for Zhu Houzhao to say, so Xie Zhi can only speak, Xie Zhi asked sharply: "Why don't you persuade yourself?" Your Highness, as the son of man, should be persuaded to persuade, but as a human minister, is there no reason to persuade? ”

In this situation, Xie Zhi can't protect both Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao, and when the two conflict, he still has to choose to protect Zhu Houzhao first.

Emperor Hongzhi protected Zhu Houzhao in a self-defiled way, clearing the way for Zhu Houzhao to be able to ascend the throne smoothly in the future, but Xie Zhi couldn't mess things up by taking too much care of them.

After Xie Zhi questioned, the minister grabbed Xie Zhi, the only person who was arranged as an auxiliary minister, perhaps out of jealousy, and came directly to Xie Zhi and asked: "The Marquis of Yunzhong is also a courtier, and he has won the trust of His Majesty. ”

To deal with these people, then you have to be tougher, if you say good things to them, it can only be exchanged for kicking their noses in the face, Xie Zhi raised his voice, and said toughly: "You are jealous of being appointed by His Majesty to be this auxiliary general, the opportunity is the same, if you can even win the three yuan, and can level the Japanese and Tatars, you will not be jealous of you as this auxiliary general." ”

Xie Zhi's ability is too great, and his merits are too outstanding, and when he mentions this many uneasy people, he can only obediently shut up.

Sure enough, Xie Zhi said this, the man's momentum weakened a lot, and he replied: "Where is jealousy, I don't have any dissatisfaction with Yunzhong Hou being this auxiliary general, I just want to say that the voice of the sheng flute in the Qianqing Palace last night didn't Yunzhong Hou go to persuade him." ”

Xie Zhi didn't answer this question directly, but asked: "How do you know that XX didn't go to see Your Majesty, is it possible that I still call you when I go to see Your Majesty?" ”

The man still wanted to say more, Xie Zhi said again: "If you want to persuade Your Majesty, then go directly, don't stop you, of course, when you go to persuade Your Majesty, you will not be pulled, you have your own way, you also go to find your own way, anyway, you are holding the court money, don't be ashamed of your conscience." ”

Xie Zhi didn't say everything about Emperor Hongzhi, but the things he did were all for the sake of the overall situation, and even now he could say it without hesitation, he was worthy of his conscience.

The man had nothing to say, maybe he was just talking about it now, if he really let him go to see Emperor Hongzhi, he wouldn't want to go.

Of course, Xie Zhizi hoped that none of these people would go and give Emperor Hongzhi a peace of mind.

Although Emperor Hongzhi now seems to be hidden and no longer has to deal with the trivial matters in the court, he has actually put in more effort than before.

Emperor Hongzhi's health is not good, and if he worries about these things again, it will inevitably make his health worse.

was scolded by Xie Zhi, and these ministers had nothing to say.

The matter of Emperor Hongzhi, they really can't find Zhu Houzhao, they have something to say to Emperor Hongzhi, then directly talk to Emperor Hongzhi, they really can't find Zhu Houzhao.

Although Zhu Houzhao is now in prison, what they can talk about is only about those big things in the country, and as for other things, they really can't talk to Zhu Houzhao.

As he spoke, someone talked about Zhang Heling's matter.

At this time, these people present had some business dealings with Fumin Bank, and they were still very concerned about whether the copper money could be returned.
