In any case, the East Palace was Zhu Houzhao's territory, and the news of Emperor Hongzhi's arrival would soon reach his ears.

Soon, Zhu Houzhao appeared in the hall in a panic holding his stomach.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Houzhao saluted in a proper manner, and said, "Erchen has seen his father, why is his father free?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi is known for his generosity, but he is also the king of a country, and his aura is still very strong, and his words are full of majesty, and he asked: "You are not good to stay in the palace to study, where did you go?" ”

Zhu Houzhao is also an acting school, his face was full of discomfort, he covered his stomach, and said: "Erchen is afraid that he caught a cold yesterday, and his stomach is really uncomfortable, so he went out to pay tribute." ”

Zhu Houzhao's acting skills are good, but there are too many times he has been wolfed, but he will not be believed.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was unabated, and he asked rhetorically, "Is it?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was probably afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would not believe it, so he replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the son is really going to pay tribute, if the father doesn't believe it, you can ask Xie Zhi." ”

Nima, what are you doing with an outsider like me?

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi entered the door, Xie Zhi had already explained Zhu Houzhao's whereabouts in this way.

Emperor Hongzhi just gave Xie Zhi a look, but he didn't embarrass Xie Zhi anymore, he stared at Zhu Houzhao with a straight face, stared at Zhu Houzhao with unkind eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Is this really the case?" ”

Xu was intimidated by Emperor Hongzhi's aura, and after a while, Zhu Houzhao knelt down with a puff, admitted his mistake, and said: "Father, the son is wrong, the son is not sick, and the son saw Master Wang leave, so he will..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was undiminished, and he got up and said, "Wang Qing, let's talk about this later, Wang Qing, you can continue to teach!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi just wanted to see with his own eyes whether his son and Xie Zhi were really as Wang Dehui said.

Now that I have seen it, there is no need to continue to stay and delay Wang Dehui's teaching.

As for the mistakes made by Zhu Houzhao, now is not the time to punish them.

The key purpose of punishment is to induce rehabilitation.

From childhood to adulthood, Zhu Houzhao has been punished a lot, and there has been no time to change.

How could Wang Dehui not know what the purpose of Emperor Hongzhi's coming was, and when Emperor Hongzhi got up to leave, he said, "Thank you, bring your strategy to Your Majesty." ”

Wang Dehui wanted to give Xie Zhi a long face in front of Hongzhi, Xie Zhi was happy, and readily agreed: "Yes, sir." ”

He copied it every day, and placed it in the most prominent place on the table.

After taking it casually, he walked to Emperor Hongzhi with his feet and handed it over respectfully.

Emperor Hongzhi did not hesitate at all, and took it directly.

was indifferent at first, but then the expression on his face was a little moved, and he asked, "Is this written by the Xie family?" ”

Wang Dehui replied: "Yes, it is true that Xie Zhi wrote it. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was a little amazed, and only said after a long time: "The Xie family's kid has changed so rapidly, it is Xie Qing's blessing." ”

Can Xie Zhi understand that this is Emperor Hongzhi's affirmation of him?

As he spoke, Emperor Hongzhi got up and said, "I still have some twists and turns to criticize, so Wang Qing will continue to teach." ”

After Emperor Hongzhi left, Wang Dehui continued to teach where he had been interrupted by Xiao Jing's edict.

In front of Wang Dehui, Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to make too many mistakes, and a one-day lecture could naturally be completed smoothly.

After the lecture, Xie Zhi still left with Wang Dehui.

Walking to the green bricks in the palace, Wang Dehui couldn't help it, and said: "Thank you, the prince is stubborn and young, there will be people around him who flatter and invite merit. ”

He wants to do this, Zhu Houzhao has to be willing?

Scumbags and scumbags are born enemies.

Of course, these can't be said directly to Wang Dehui, and at present, Xie Zhi can only agree, and said: "Yes, sir, the student will definitely fulfill the duty of companion." ”

Xie Zhi still followed Wang Dehui back to Wang's house.

But Zhu Houzhao went to the Qianqing Palace to find Emperor Hongzhi after Wang Dehui and Xie Zhi left.

It is Emperor Hongzhi's will for Xie Zhi to enter the palace as a companion, and if Xie Zhi is exempted from reading, it will naturally have to be decreed by Emperor Hongzhi.

"Father, Erchen really doesn't want Xie Zhi to be a companion anymore, Master Wang appreciates Xie Zhi's words, Erchen seems to be the companion, without any sense of existence, if it goes on like this, how can Erchen concentrate on reading."

Emperor Hongzhi naturally knew that this was completely Zhu Houzhao's excuse, and said in a deep voice: "Xie Zhi has no fault, how can the companion read be exempted, okay, don't say more about this matter, you go back." ”

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Hongzhi told again: "Don't bother your mother, and don't use the trick of kneeling and begging..."

Zhu Houzhao was in front of Emperor Hongzhi, and there were only two ways to ask for a will.

After being blocked by Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao replied a little lonely: "Yes, Erchen knows." ”

After Zhu Houzhao left, Xiao Jingcai, who was guarding the side, said: "Your Majesty, the slave has a saying..."

Emperor Hongzhi is the kind of person who is arbitrary, and the people around him have something to say, how can they stop him from saying it, and said: "Xiao Banban has nothing to say. ”

After getting the consent of Emperor Hongzhi, Xiao Jingcai said: "Your Majesty, the purpose of accompanying reading is to accompany His Highness to study, His Highness doesn't like this companion reading, how can he read together?" ”

After listening to Xiao Jing's words, Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said: "Xiao Companion's words are reasonable, it was the prince's request to let Xie Zhi enter the palace at the beginning, although I was worried that Xie Zhi would bring the prince badly, but I thought that there was Wang Qing in the palace, and Xie Zhi had Xie Qing at home.

But he didn't think about it, Xie Zhi's progress is rapid, and there is still a trace of the shadow of the past in such a change.

But the prince's side didn't want to read this companion anymore.

Even if I agreed, I had already made a will, and now it has only been a dozen days, and when Xie Zhi is not at fault, I will dismiss his companionship, so how can I explain to Xie Qing? ”

Xiao Jing pulled up a smile and said: "Your Highness has different talents, and it is normal for you to be young and playful, if Your Highness is enlightened and willing to work hard, it is not inferior to Xie Zhi, the slave and maid remember, when he went to the Xie family to announce the decree, Xie Zhi was still quite squirming, in front of the slave and maid, before receiving the decree, he also said that he was going to ask Xie Ge Lao, this goodbye, Xie Zhi has changed a lot." ”

Emperor Hongzhi echoed: "The change is very big, and I was really muddy when I saw that kid in the Xie family. ”

Immediately, Xiao Jing said tentatively: "The slave maid heard that before Xie Zhi entered the palace, he had to be strictly supervised by Xie Ge Lao to learn a lot of palace etiquette. ”

Xiao Jing's meaning is obvious, he wants Emperor Hongzhi to go to Xie Qian for advice.

"The Xie family is a scholarly family, Xie Qian's godson must have a set, I should ask Xie Qing for advice, Xiao Companion, you can follow me."
