Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

Although the war on the frontier is tense now, it is useless to be anxious, and Emperor Hongzhi has already arranged the things that should be arranged.

He was very worried about the war on the frontier, and even these days, Emperor Hongzhi didn't sleep well.

All this was seen by Queen Zhang.

So today, when Emperor Hongzhi came to court, Empress Zhang sent someone to invite Emperor Hongzhi to come to Kunning Palace to play chess with her, so as not to relax and not be nervous and affect her health.

Emperor Hongzhi agreed, so Emperor Hongzhi was in Kunning Palace at the moment, playing chess with Empress Zhang with a heavy heart.

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi was holding this sunspot, not knowing where to fall, Xiao Jing walked in from outside, and then bowed down to Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang:

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned from Tianjin, and he is waiting in the Qianqing Palace at the moment."

"What did he come back for? My royal guard, he doesn't care? ”

When Emperor Hongzhi heard that Zhu Houzhao had returned, he was immediately displeased.

It's not that Emperor Hongzhi doesn't want his son, but now that there is a war on the border, there is an undercurrent in the capital because of the opening of the sea, so Zhu Houzhao is not very safe when he comes back at this time.

Because Zhu Houzhao is not a peaceful lord, Emperor Hongzhi does not believe that Zhu Houzhao will stay in the East Palace honestly.

Therefore, it is better to let Zhu Houzhao stay in the triangle of Tianjin Prefecture, where there are 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Ming Royal Guard to protect him, as well as Zhu Houzhao's own Sun and Moon Divine Sect protection, plus Zhu Houzhao is very popular in Tianjin.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's stay in the triangle of Tianjin Mansion is far safer than returning to the capital.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi did not want Zhu Houzhao to come back.

Emperor Hongzhi can take so much into account, but Empress Zhang doesn't have this knowledge.

Although Empress Zhang is still virtuous and virtuous, in fact, Empress Zhang's political wisdom is not high.

Otherwise, in the time and space of Li Zhaotong's "memory", it would not have happened that after Zhu Houzhao died, Zhu Houxi, who picked up the cheap, became the emperor, and this Empress Zhang would run arrogantly to the Fengtian Hall and beat Emperor Jiajing, the nephew, with a cane.

As a result, Emperor Jiajing lost face and hated Empress Zhang.

In the end, Empress Zhang's ending was that as soon as she died, Jiajing just hastily buried her with Zhu Youjiao, and didn't even send a post inviting vassal kings from all over the country to send people to mourn. What's even more surprising is that Empress Dowager Zhang, as the official queen of Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao's biological mother, didn't even enter the Taimiao!

This is the consequence of her low political intelligence.

This time, Empress Zhang also had low political wisdom, so she didn't think about anything else at all, she only thought about her son.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi's tone became cold, and she was not happy:

"Your Majesty, the crown prince has finally come back, don't put on such a look."

"Queen, it's not that I don't want the prince to come back, but now that the undercurrent in the capital is surging, it is not stable, and when he comes back, it will add a lot of variables!

You also know that the prince can't sit still, likes to run around, and often runs so much that he can't find anyone, and when he comes back, what if someone plots against him? ”

Emperor Hongzhi really loved Empress Zhang deeply, otherwise, he would not have become the only emperor in Chinese history to practice monogamy.

Therefore, Empress Zhang expressed her dissatisfaction, but Emperor Hongzhi did not change his face, but patiently explained to Empress Zhang the harm of Zhu Houzhao's return.

"Your Majesty, you say this, the concubine does not dare to agree!

There are 100,000 forbidden troops in the capital to protect it, but how many are there in Tianjin? It's just a guardhouse! How can this Tianjin be safer than the capital? Those who want to plot against the prince are much easier to attack in Tianjin than in the capital.

The concubines still felt that the capital was safer. ”

"Okay! Queen, you have the final say, I'll go and see what the prince is doing when he comes back? ”

Emperor Hongzhi was too lazy to fight with Empress Zhang, and there were some military affairs that Empress Zhang was not suitable to know.

Although Emperor Hongzhi loved Empress Zhang very much, he also knew very well that Empress Zhang had some problems, such as his connivance with Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi would not tell Empress Zhang about some confidential matters, so as not to leak the news.

For example, now, Emperor Hongzhi will not tell Empress Zhang that there are far from 100,000 forbidden troops in the capital, and most of the forbidden troops are waste.

In addition, he would not tell Empress Zhang that Tianjin was safer, not because of the guard stationed in Tianjin, but because of the existence of the Ming royal guard!

Regarding the strong combat effectiveness of the Ming royal guards, Emperor Hongzhi did not want to expose it so quickly.

"Okay! Your Majesty, you go first, wait for the prince to discuss things with you later, and ask Your Majesty to let the prince come to Kunning Palace to meet the concubine, the concubine hasn't seen the prince for a long time, so I miss it. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said that he was going to see Zhu Houzhao in the Qianqing Palace, but Empress Zhang realized it, and it was obvious that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to avoid her, and it was estimated that he wanted to say something important to Zhu Houzhao.

At this point, she will not feel displeased.

After staying in the deep palace for a long time, no matter how little political wisdom you have, you will understand one thing, that is, curiosity kills cats.

She knew that Emperor Hongzhi loved her very much, but she would not get involved in military affairs. Emperor Hongzhi wants to hide from her and avoid her to do things, she can accept it completely, and she must accept it.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to the prince."

……

Qianqing Palace.

"Say it! What do you do when you suddenly come back from Triangle Lake? Aren't you interested in the affairs of the warriors? Want to come back and study hard? ”

Emperor Hongzhi became angry when he saw Zhu Houzhao, especially in this special period, when Zhu Houzhao ran back, he became even more angry.

"Father, there are two main things when the son comes back, the first thing is: the son has a treasure that he wants his father to see; The second thing is: Erchen is going to let the Ming royal guards escort the supplies to the frontier to achieve the purpose of training, so I came to ask my father for your consent. ”

Treasures or something, Emperor Hongzhi was not very interested, and Zhu Houzhao did not come to offer treasures, but to let him go to see treasures, which made Emperor Hongzhi even less interested.

Emperor Hongzhi's focus is still on the second matter.

The Ming royal guards, but Emperor Hongzhi was bleeding!

After all, all the money to raise the Ming royal guards was spent from Emperor Hongzhi's internal funds.

Now, Li Zhaotong has not yet come to report to him that the Ming royal guards have been trained, but as a result, Zhu Houzhao first came to report that he wanted the Ming royal guards to escort the supplies to the frontier, so as to achieve the purpose of training.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi's face became solemn, and he seriously asked the many doubts in his heart:

"Where did you get the supplies, what kind of supplies do you have to escort my private army in person? Also, what kind of training purpose does this achieve? ”
