Chapter 19: Zhu Houzhao fights the Confucians

Early the next morning, in front of the morning, in the Fengtian Temple.

Taking advantage of the fact that Emperor Hongzhi had not yet come, the hundred officials of the early dynasty gathered together in twos and threes to discuss matters inside and outside the court.

"Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince somehow sent someone to send food to the old man's two daughters, could it be that there was a happy event in the palace? But it shouldn't be given to the old man's daughter. ”

"You got it too?"

"Did you receive it too?"

"That's right! When it was sent yesterday, it happened that the old man was at home, and the old man wanted to open it first to take a look, but the little eunuch refused, so he had to send it to my precious little daughter, which made my wife think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had taken a fancy to my precious little daughter, but this is ridiculous! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is only seven years old! ”

"What kind of absurdity are you, my family is called absurd! The old man has no daughter, and there is only a new daughter-in-law at home, and as a result, I received it! ”

"The old man's granddaughter received it!"

"Xiaguan's lady also received it!"

……

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! What are you going to do, prince! Harassing our female dependents for no reason?!

Later, the official must impeach the crown prince to His Majesty, which is really ridiculous! ”

"That's right! Impeach! ”

"Impeachment!"

……

When Emperor Hongzhi came to the Fengtian Palace, he saw that the people in the hall were angry, and the officials were blushing and shouting words such as impeachment and absurdity.

Only a few officials had calm faces, but these few people also had a sad face.

When Xiao Jing saw this scene, he immediately shouted: "Silence! However, it was useless, and the officials were still angry.

Until someone saw Emperor Hongzhi coming, these people didn't stop!

Instead, they jumped out one after another and frantically impeached Zhu Houzhao.

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned!

Listening to these ministers impeaching me word by word, he was stunned because he didn't understand what the prince had done, which made these ministers angry.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the crown prince offended hundreds of officials, so after a while, Emperor Hongzhi came to his senses and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and his face turned terrifyingly dark!

At any time, it can erupt!

This is a real dragon on the verge of rage!

Under Long Wei, everyone present was depressed and breathless.

Suddenly, the Fengtian Temple was quiet.

The silence is terrifying, as if one fell on the ground and could be heard.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi spoke:

"Liu Qingjia, what the hell is going on?"

Emperor Hongzhi was really angry, usually because Liu Jian was the teacher he feared the most and respected the most during the East Palace period, so he would call Liu Jian "Master Liu", but now calling Liu Qing's family obviously means alienation.

After all, Liu Jian is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he has the responsibility of restraining hundreds of officials.

"Your Majesty, this matter may be related to the rebel son Li Zhaotong, it should be that he instigated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, causing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do something wrong."

Before Liu Jian could answer, Li Dongyang couldn't sit still, and he stood up.

Of the officials present, except for a few who did not have young female dependents in their families, they did not receive it, and only his family did not receive it.

But he already knew that the officials received the kind of cream cakes in the house, and the cream cakes were invented by Li Zhaotong, and he also knew that Li Zhaotong was partnering with the prince to do the cream cake business.

Therefore, the things that the prince caused the anger of the officials must be inseparable from Li Zhaotong.

Therefore, in order to protect Li Zhaotong as much as possible, he took the first step, stood up, shifted the responsibility to Li Zhaotong, and helped the prince get rid of his crimes, only asking His Majesty to spare Li Zhaotong's life for the sake of his face as a cabinet elder and for the sake of Li Zhaotong helping to take the blame for the prince.

Otherwise, if this matter is a big problem, there is no need for Jinyiwei and Dongchang to investigate, and everyone will definitely know that this matter is inseparable from Li Zhaotong.

After all, it's no secret that the cream petit fours and the princess house are not secrets.

And at that time, the prince's reputation was ruined, and the emperor who was furious would not take his only heir, Zhu Houzhao, but would only use Li Zhaotong, the initiator, as a substitute for the dead ghost to appease the anger of the official!

"What the hell is going on?!"

Emperor Hongzhi, who was on the verge of rage, still didn't figure out the reason for the matter, so he asked in a low voice.

"The minister doesn't know what is going on, the minister only knows that this matter is related to the cream cake invented by the rebel son of the minister."

"Cream Cake?!"

Emperor Hongzhi was still puzzled, he pondered for a while, but he didn't understand.

Because he thought that even if the prince went to do business and compete with the people for profit, he would not make more than ninety percent of the hundred officials so angry that they blushed and had thick necks, and the crowd looked angry.

"Prince!"

"Xiao Jing, you go to the Li Mansion quickly and bring Li Zhaotong over to me!"

"Yes!"

……

Today's early dynasty is destined to have big things.

Zhu Houzhao got up early and practiced martial arts with the guards in the East Palace early.

In addition, the East Palace is close, so it is rumored that he will go to the Heavenly Palace, and he can arrive soon.

But Li Zhaotong is different, Li Zhaotong sleeps lazy, and the Li Mansion is some distance away from the palace, even if Xiao Jing rides a fast horse to pick him up, it will have to be delayed for a while.

Therefore, these two people can't collude to confess.

And Zhu Houzhao is a stunned green and iron-headed baby!

"Son-in-law, see father."

After Zhu Houzhao entered the Fengtian Palace, he first saluted Emperor Hongzhi, and then he was about to get up.

"Kneel!"

Emperor Hongzhi stopped Zhu Houzhao from getting up, and in a tone as calm as possible, he asked:

"Tell me, what good things have you done to the courtiers?!"

"Kneel and kneel!"

Zhu Houzhao was unhappy, he was unhappy, and his rebellious psychology rushed to the front all of a sudden:

"I didn't do anything good, I just found someone to investigate who had a young girl, and then arranged for someone to send a cream cake."

"Bastard!"

Emperor Hongzhi finally broke out, he grabbed a stack of pieces on the imperial case, and smashed it straight towards Zhu Houzhao!

……

Before Zhu Houzhao arrived, Emperor Hongzhi had already inquired about the little eunuchs around him, and understood that the officials were angry because the prince gave a small cream cake to the young ladies of their family.

Then, the ultimate reason for the anger of the hundred officials, Emperor Hongzhi has already understood.

That is, the officials think that the prince is humiliating them!

After all, Zhu Houzhao is only more than six years old, and if he wants to say that he cares about the young ladies in the families of hundreds of officials, a fool will not believe it.

Then there must only be humiliation left.

After all, Zhu Houzhao deliberately chose young female relatives in other families to give gifts.

But Emperor Hongzhi knew very well that the crown prince did not want to humiliate the officials.

He had already guessed the reason why Zhu Houzhao gave gifts to the young ladies of the officials' families.

That is to promote the cream cake for the princess house.

Because in recent days, Zhu Houzhao has been promoting his cream cakes everywhere in the palace.

These all fell into the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi, who had changed his concept, did not object to this matter, and he also hoped that Zhu Houzhao could follow Li Zhao to learn some food and goods, so that he could use it to govern the country in the future.

So he let Zhu Houzhao go out of the palace to see Li Zhaotong yesterday.

But he never expected that something would go wrong.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi now hopes that Zhu Houzhao can have the cleverness to escape punishment when he is usually disobedient, speak well, and admit his mistakes seriously, saying that this is his unintentional mistake, not to humiliate the officials.

But he ignored Zhu Houzhao's rebellious psychology - eating soft rather than hard.

So as soon as the results came out, he was furious.

……

Zhu Houzhao is good, quickly dodged the smashed movement, and then stood up at once, unconvinced:

"What? Did Erchen do something wrong? Erchen kindly gave them delicious desserts to taste, is Erchen wrong?! ”

"Master Xie, is this palace wrong? What's wrong? As the crown prince, this palace gives food to your family, is it wrong? ”

Xie Qian was the closest to Zhu Houzhao, so when Zhu Houzhao refuted Emperor Hongzhi and turned to face the hundred officials, he was the first to suffer instead of making a fuss.

Zhu Houzhao's behavior, from the public level, is in love, reason, and law!

After all, you can't say that a six-year-old child harasses your daughter! Don't laugh off people's big teeth when you say it!

And Zhu Houzhao is still the prince, giving food, that is the honor of your family! It's not a violation of any law.

But the problem lies in the fact that Zhu Houzhao is the prince, after all, he is the prince, and the ministers will not treat any prince as an ordinary child.

But you can't say this!

It's an unspoken rule!

You said it, in case a little emperor ascends the throne at a young age in the future, those powerful ministers who want to use the emperor's young age to overthrow the emperor, control the government, and then want to do something will not hate you to death!

Also, the Confucian idea of being a hypocrite to Jun Yao Shun will also be hit hard by this!

After all, once you say that because you are the crown prince, even if you are a child, you have to treat this as an adult, it is tantamount to admitting that the species of the true dragon emperor is extremely powerful and cannot be regarded in the way of ordinary people.

The species of the True Dragon Son of Heaven is so powerful, so isn't the True Dragon Son of Heaven going to be powerful to the heavens, and there is such a powerful True Dragon Son of Heaven, so what's the use of your civil officials?

The role and status of civil servants will definitely be greatly weakened as a result!

Then how can you deal with Jun Yaoshun?

So, Zhu Houzhao's question that goes straight to the soul, Xie Qian really can't answer.

He closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

He can pretend, Zhu Houzhao will not let go of this opportunity to fight back, and he began to ask one by one.

And all this, Emperor Hongzhi chose to watch from the sidelines.

After all, Zhu Houzhao is his son, and he still favors Zhu Houzhao's side, not to mention that he also knows that Zhu Houzhao really has no malicious intent.

Now that he sees Zhu Houzhao gaining the upper hand, of course he chooses to remain quiet and wait and see what happens.

In the end, Zhu Houzhao asked four or five people one after another, and no one in the Fengtian Hall could answer Zhu Houzhao's questions.

"Say! Why are you dumb?! Don't think that this palace can't guess, the father of this palace summoned me, nine times out of ten, you are twittering, impeaching this palace, and harming this palace to be criticized! How?! Not to mention it now? Say it!! ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the hundred officials and questioned again, but there was still silence in the Fengtian Palace.

So, this out-of-the-box, unreliable fellow began to get proud, and he crossed his hands on his hips and continued:

"Good! If you don't say it, come to this palace! The main palace has opened a shop on Qipan Street, called the Princess House, which mainly sells cream cakes, which are sent to your home by the palace, and the taste of your daughters should also be tasted, so good, right, it's ...... tomorrow."

"Ahem!"

Emperor Hongzhi finally couldn't stand it anymore, Zhu Houzhao, who was still fighting with Confucianism just now, was actually taking the opportunity to advertise at this moment!

This is the Fengtian Temple!

The most solemn and sacred place in Daming!

How can there be an advertisement!

In that case, let alone the impeachment of hundreds of officials, it is the coffin board of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, I am afraid that it will not be able to be suppressed!

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi, who heard that something was wrong, quickly stopped Zhu Houzhao's rebellious behavior.

"That's it! This matter is over for the time being, prince, you step back first, wait for Li Zhaotong to come, see what he says? ”
