Renshou Palace, Zhou Ping leaned on the soft collapse and kept humming and chirping.

Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Zhou Ping, who was swollen like a pig's head, with a distressed face, and said: "Ping'er can be beaten like this, it can be seen that the kid from Xie Qian's family is a tyrannical and ruthless person, such a person has been the prince's companion for two years, doesn't this mean that Zhao'er will be like this?" The prince is concerned with the community, but he can't be sloppy. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was thinking about the society, but she had already labeled Xie Zhi, did she think that Xie Zhi was crazy and would beat Zhou Ping for no reason?

Emperor Hongzhi and even benevolent and filial piety were naturally quite respectful in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and replied: "Sun Er understands, Sun Er will consider it carefully." ”

For Xie Zhi, Emperor Hongzhi still has trust, if Xie Zhi did this thing in the past, it would not be unusual at all, but now, Xie Zhi himself is not only dedicated to learning, but also has become quite studious with his own son.

In two years, he was finally able to hear a few words of praise for his son from the officials of Zhan Shifu, although there were few, but they were enough to make him happy.

Although there is no news of the investigation of this matter today, he feels that the fault party is not necessarily Xie Zhialone.

Even if Xie Zhi is really at fault in this matter, he wants to be able to protect Xie Zhi.

Naturally, these thoughts of Emperor Hongzhi would not be said in front of the Zhou family brothers and sisters who were bent on giving Xie Zhi some color.

Then the words of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhou Shou immediately said: "The minister and the Xie family have never had any bad relations, the Xie family kid will do this to Ping'er, Your Majesty will definitely make the decision for Ping'er, if this matter can't be returned to Ping'er today, then how can the Zhou family hold up their heads in the court in the future?" ”

Zhou Shouruo is the uncle of Emperor Hongzhi in terms of seniority, but after all, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and Zhou Shou's words are completely obvious.

The Zhou family is also a relative, and they do not have the military power to restrain the imperial court, and being able to do anything wrong in the court is to rely on Emperor Hongzhi to soften.

But soft-hearted does not mean that it is a soft persimmon, Zhou Shou's words, Emperor Hongzhi's attitude is also quite cold, and he replied: "Wait for Xie Zhi to come, listen to what he says." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou has a strong personality and does not dare to be too aggressive in front of Emperor Hongzhi, after all, their glory and wealth are in the hands of Emperor Hongzhi.

The atmosphere was probably dull, but a stick of incense, Xie Zhi came leisurely.

Entering the hall, Xie Zhi glanced around before saluting, and said, "The grass people meet the Queen Mother, meet Your Majesty..."

Although the person sitting on the guest seat with a face was about to catch up with the bottom of the pot, and a pair of vicious eyes wanted to stare him out of a hole, he could guess his identity, Xie Zhi still chose to ignore him.

He is a junior, and it is understandable that he can't recognize all the big names in the court!

"Xie Zhi, do you have something to say to me?" Emperor Hongzhi was the first to ask.

Although Emperor Hongzhi's face was not good, he was not on the verge of anger at all, and after grasping Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts, Xie Zhicai pulled up a smile, pointed at Zhou Ping, and said: "Look at this prince here, if the grass people say that they have nothing to say, they are deceiving Your Majesty, before the grass people open their mouths, can you ask who this son is?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face softened, he didn't know Zhou Ping, so it wasn't a personal grudge between the Xie family and the Zhou family, and he asked, "You don't know who he is?" ”

Xie Zhi shook his head, he didn't know it when he did it!

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "You don't even know Zhou Ping's identity, why do you want to do it to him?" It seems that this is not a personal grudge, you didn't know it before, well, I will tell you now. ”

Emperor Hongzhi pointed at Zhou Shou and Zhou Ping and said: "This is Qingyun Hou, this is Qingyun Hou's grandson, what do you have to say, say it!" ”

After listening to Emperor Hongzhi's personal introduction, Xie Zhi immediately greeted Zhou Shou with a smile on his face, and said: "The kid doesn't know Qingyunhou, it's a sin, it's really a sin, the kid and Qingyunhou see each other." ”

Xie Zhi didn't care whether he was sincere or not, he did the etiquette he should have done anyway, but Zhou Shou didn't appreciate it at all, and he didn't bother with a cold snort.

Ignore it, he didn't want to greet him sincerely anyway.

After that, Xie Zhi said solemnly: "Zhou Gongzi was beaten by the grass people, no matter what kind of punishment the grass people will bear." ”

Emperor Hongzhi, whose face was originally relaxed, immediately became angry again, this is completely a bastard, how can he maintain it, and scolded: "You bear it? Can you afford it? ”

Xie Zhi was still indifferent to Emperor Hongzhi's anger, and replied: "It's nothing more than my life." ”

Xie Zhi dared to say this, knowing that what he had done was not at all when he lost his life, and he also knew that Emperor Hongzhi would never kill him because of this.

Emperor Hongzhi slapped the table and said, "Just my life? Do you think I won't dare to kill you? ”

Xie Zhi's momentum did not weaken in the slightest, and the stalk replied: "Will die in the war, Wen will die in the admonition, the grass people just die to protect their families, light and not light, manly husband, if you see your own woman being bullied, but indifferent, what face is there to live in the world, today not to say that it is the woman of the Xie family, that is, the woman of another family who cannot be named, the grass people will never stand idly by, if Your Majesty kills, the grass people have nothing to say, and the grass people will not regret it, if there is a next time, the grass people will definitely do this." ”

Xie Zhi's words that looked stunned were worthy of a thousand words of confession and apology.

Emperor Hongzhi's anger has decreased a lot, and it can be seen that he had the idea of protecting Xie Zhi from the beginning.

He thought that if Xie Zhi admitted his mistake and apologized from the beginning, he would just think that Xie Zhi wanted Qiu Yu to fool the matter over.

Unexpectedly, Xie Shang said that he would bear it with all his might, and he was completely forced into a corner.

Just when he was embarrassed, he didn't expect Xie Zhi to come to talk about it, which was completely worth 10,000 apologies.

Emperor Hongzhi's face loosened, and he asked slowly, "What's the matter?" How to say it! ”

Since Emperor Hongzhi asked the reason, Xie Zhi was not polite, and said: "Today's suspension of school in the East Palace is the first day of the new year, and my mother thought of taking the grass people to the Jiming Temple outside the city to burn pillar incense, and when she came out, she ran into Zhou Gongzi, and Zhou Gongzi said filthy words to the grass people's sister-in-law, and he also moved his hands and feet..."

Xie Zhizheng was halfway through speaking, and Zhou Ping said a little inarticulate behind him: "My son hasn't met it yet." ”

Zhou Ping: Is this stupid? Or is it too good to be protected? Does it matter if you bump into it or not? With this mind, it has already been done.

Xie Zhi pulled up a smile and didn't answer, the cause and effect or something was completely self-defeating.

Zhou Shou was arrogant in the court, but in front of Emperor Hongzhi, he couldn't say black again.

After Zhou Ping didn't admit himself, Emperor Hongzhi didn't make a sound, waiting for Zhou Shou's answer.

After a long time, it was the Empress Dowager Zhou who spoke: "Qingyunhou, go back and educate your children, don't make trouble for the mourning family all day long." ”

Although Zhou Shou's face was not good-looking, he also admitted: "Yes, the minister knows." ”

Although all the fault is not on Xie Zhi, after all, with the face of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Emperor Hongzhi still ordered to take gold sore medicine from the palace.

Even if Emperor Hongzhi didn't give it, the Empress Dowager Zhou would give it, but Emperor Hongzhi gave his words, which can be regarded as saving some money for the Zhou family.
