After sighing with emotion, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao left the palace together.

Because now Xie Zhi is used to taking guards wherever he goes out, because Zhu Houzhao only took Gu Dayong alone and went out.

In fact, as long as Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhi fade away from their court clothes, they will be ordinary sons and brothers, carrying cages and birds, only they have the right to cause trouble, and no one dares to provoke them.

In the past, when Zhu Houzhao came out, someone was in charge, but now that no one is looking at him anymore, he feels a lot more relaxed, this is the first time he feels the joy of being in prison.

"Xie Wu, where are we going to play?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

How old is this, why do you still want to play, can't you be in shape?

Xie Zhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and replied angrily: "Your Highness finally has time to go out of the palace, and look at the world governed by His Highness is so happy and smiling, how His Highness's people live and work in peace and contentment, isn't it better than playing?" ”

Zhu Houzhao just left the palace, and forgot his identity as a prisoner for a while, thinking that it was the carefree prince, but when Xie Zhi said this, he finally reacted, waved his hand and said disdainfully: "This palace is not a test for you, to see if you have forgotten what you should do when you see this colorful and lively." ”

For what reason Zhu Houzhao emphasized this, Xie Zhi didn't break it.

In any case, Zhu Houzhao is a prince, and the face that should be given should be given.

Xie Zhi didn't break it, Xie Zhi took the lead and said: "Your Highness can walk around the street casually, just see what the people of this Jingshi are doing in a day?" ”

In fact, as long as those emperors are not messing around after leaving the palace, there is nothing wrong with going out of the palace often, to see what the world he governs is like, and to listen to what needs his people have, which is much better than staying in the palace for a long time and painstakingly reviewing the excerpts used by those ministers to whitewash the peace of the world.

Xie Zhi has said this statement countless times in front of Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi also agrees with it, so Emperor Hongzhi will also agree that Zhu Houzhao often goes out of the palace.

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao may be stubborn, but he still cares about the people, just take the time in the clouds to say, his master Bo is really not bad.

In the hearts of the people in the clouds, Zhu Houzhao's prestige is probably stronger than that of Emperor Hongzhi.

After listening to what Xie Zhi said, although Zhu Houzhao was still wandering around, he would listen carefully and listen to the people bargaining for a copper plate.

This kind of life seems boring, but in fact it is a real life.

After wandering around for more than half an hour, Xiao Jing hurriedly came over.

Seeing Xiao Jing running like this, sweating profusely, before he got closer, Xie Zhi had a bad premonition.

As soon as Xiao Jingcai approached, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, return to the palace quickly, Your Majesty's condition has worsened." ”

"What disease?" Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Emperor Hongzhi was sick from beginning to end, and he was very surprised after listening to Xiao Jing's words.

Xiao Jing didn't care about explaining more, so he said directly: "Your Highness will go back to the palace first, and the rest will wait for the slave to explain slowly." ”

Now is indeed not the time to explain this matter, on top of this matter, Emperor Hongzhi has been hiding it for so long, how can it be explained in one or two sentences.

After explaining it to Zhu Houzhao clearly, Xiao Jing grabbed Xie Zhi and said: "What happened to the good doctor that Yunzhong Hou found, those imperial doctors in the palace are helpless about Your Majesty's condition." ”

As soon as Xiao Jing opened his mouth, his intention was immediately clear, and he had already known about Emperor Hongzhi's affairs.

"Xie Wu, what's going on?"

The question in Zhu Houzhao's heart, Xie Zhi should also be explained, but now that Emperor Hongzhi's condition is worsening, it is really not the time to talk about this.

If it wasn't until the last resort, Xiao Jing would never have leaked his illness to Zhu Houzhao, who Emperor Hongzhi was most unwilling to know.

Xie Zhi pulled Zhu Houzhao forward and said: "This matter will be explained to His Highness again, the top priority now is for His Highness to return to the palace as soon as possible, His Majesty's condition is leaked, if His Highness is not in the main town of the palace, I am afraid it will make people even more panicked." ”

What Xie Zhi said is indeed the truth, at this time, Zhu Houzhao must stay in the palace.

If Zhu Houzhao is no longer in the palace, I don't know what the chaos will become.

Zhu Houzhao was still very concerned about Emperor Hongzhi, and he was anxious to go back to the palace to ask Emperor Hongzhi what was going on.

As for settling accounts with Xie Zhi and Xiao Jing, that's all about the future.

In Zhu Houzhao's hurry, he finally returned to the palace as quickly as possible.

When Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, Empress Zhang already knew about the situation of Emperor Hongzhi, and she had already cried into tears.

During the period when Emperor Hongzhi created an opportunity for Zhu Houzhao to supervise the country through self-defilement, how many times did Empress Zhang scold Emperor Hongzhi, and now she is crying so sadly.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao coming, he immediately grabbed Zhu Houzhao's hand and said, "Zhao'er, your father and emperor..."

Now the only one who can hold Queen Zhang's head and cry is Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was still a little confused about the current situation, and some didn't want to believe it, and asked, "What's wrong with my father?" ”

What's wrong? Needless to say?

Empress Zhang's crying pear blossoms and rain can't be explained, Xiao Jing, as the main participant in this matter, naturally needs to explain this matter clearly with Zhu Houzhao.

When Zhu Houzhao asked, Xiao Jing stood up and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty changed to a lung disease a few days ago, and the cough did not stop, and after the imperial doctor's diagnosis, Your Majesty was worried that His Highness would one day suddenly ascend the throne in the future, and he would not be able to cope with the difficulties of those old ministers in the court, so he came up with the idea of concealing his illness and letting His Highness have full authority to supervise the country, so that there would be a transition time, so that even if someone embarrasses His Highness, His Majesty can still solve it for His Highness." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Jing burst into tears and became a tearful man.

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao also cried bitterly, choked up and couldn't speak to himself, endured it a few times and finally asked, "How is my father's condition now?" ”

Now that the time has come when he can't hide it, Xiao Jing has to tell the truth about Emperor Hongzhi's illness.

"Your Majesty is now in a coma, and he has begun to talk nonsense, the situation is very serious, according to the imperial doctor, if Your Majesty goes on like this, it will only be half a month."

How can it be so fast? Xie Zhi was also quite shocked, the historical Emperor Hongzhi had been in power for eighteen years, and now it was only fifteen years, if it was calculated, Emperor Hongzhi had at least three years to live, how could it suddenly be that there was only half a month left.

"Half a month, half a month... Do all those imperial doctors eat dry rice? Even the emperor's illness is not good, what is the use of raising them, come and pull them out and cut them down. ”

No matter how much you hate the doctor's straw bale, you can't cut people down, right?

Xie Zhi said at the right time: "Your Highness, the minister has sent people to start looking for good doctors, and they will definitely be able to cure Your Majesty's illness, as for those imperial doctors, let them live, Your Majesty's body of Nose Essence still has to rely on them to raise." ”

Xie Zhi was originally a kind sentence, but how did he know that he directly led Zhu Houzhao's anger to himself.

Zhu Houzhao yelled at Zhu Houzhao angrily: "Shut up first, this palace hasn't settled accounts with you yet." ”

When Zhu Houzhao first met Xie Zhi, he didn't lose his temper with Xie Zhi with this attitude.

Xie Zhi only thought that Zhu Houzhao was anxious about Emperor Hongzhi's illness, and he didn't care about him, and directly explained: "Your Highness, the top priority now is how to treat your majesty's illness, it is easy to kill these imperial doctors, but where to find someone who can treat your majesty for a while, Your Highness's top priority is to stabilize the ministers of the previous dynasty, and don't make any big mess, so that you are not ashamed of your majesty's good intentions." ”

Speaking of Empress Zhang, she was still very reasonable, she cried miserably, but she still persuaded Zhu Houzhao: "What Yunzhong Hou said is also right, your father is so good-hearted, you should be so good-natured, don't waste your father's hard work in vain, and do what you should do." ”

Zhu Houzhao was also in a hurry to say that without thinking about it, but in fact, he now understands what he should do.

In any case, he must first stabilize the affairs of the DPRK and China, and not let those things outside be messed up.
