After Zhu Houzhao's words came out, before Emperor Hongzhi could speak, Xie Qian refused repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you must not, the minister is not a virtuous minister, the prince is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the prince is the country's capital. ”

It is very clear what kind of virtue Xie Qian has for his son, usually he causes trouble at home or even outside, but if he enters the palace, then everything is unimaginable.

Besides, the prince is stubborn, even if he is looking for a companion to read, he should be a studious person, if such two goods are put together, then Zhan Shifu may have to be demolished.

Xie Qian's refusal was only spoken, and Zhu Houzhao hurriedly spoke before Emperor Hongzhi, and said: "Master Xie, this is a bad word, the Xie family is a scholarly family, and the lack of poetry and books of Gongzi Xie is just a temporary matter. ”

The corners of Xie Qian's mouth twitched, and he still won the champion? If that bad boy can be a small official in peace, he will already burn high incense.

Before Xie Qian could respond, Zhu Houzhao knelt down in front of Emperor Hongzhi with a puff and begged: "Father will agree, Master Xie is tired enough to be busy with official business every day, can my father bear to watch Master Xie worry about Gongzi Xie again?" Put Gongzi Xie in the East Palace, with Master Wang to discipline him, Master Xie can also worry less. ”

Emperor Hongzhi softened when he saw his son kneeling in front of him like this.

His father, Emperor Chenghua, favored Wan Guifei so that although he was a prince, he was only able to recognize his ancestors at the age of six.

His father, the emperor, was only obsessed with women, but he never did the slightest bit of his fatherly duty to him.

Therefore, after he had a son, he gave him the greatest favor, which was to make up for the lack of fatherly love left by his childhood.

However, after all, he is the king of a country, and his son will also be the king of this country in the future.

Therefore, at this time, we must not be sloppy in our education.

That kid from the Xie family is a gentleman, and it's not good to bring his own son badly.

But seeing his son kneeling in front of him like this, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to think of a compromise and said, "In this way, Xie Qing, call Gongzi Xie and let the prince see him, how about it?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi decided like this, and he also wanted Xie Zhi to make a direct decision in front of Zhu Houzhao.

Regarding Emperor Hongzhi's will, Xie Qian could only agree and replied: "Obey the order!" ”

Immediately, he called a servant to call Xie Zhi.

Zhu Houzhao saw that Emperor Hongzhi agreed, and immediately got up excitedly and said, "Thank you, father!" ”

Compared with Zhu Houzhao's excitement, Xie Qian began to feel melancholy again, his unscrupulous son has always been unruly, if he lost his manners when he saw the car...

The emperor is tolerant, and he will not be held accountable and punished if he has his face.

But it is also about to lose the face of the Xie family.

And after Xie Zhi ordered He Liang to leave, he grabbed the rice on the corner of the table and began to feast.

The food in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was almost the same as that of the later generations in which Xie Zhi lived.

The Xie family's cooking skills are not bad, and the meals cooked can also reach the level of the chefs of star-rated hotels in later generations.

Xiangyue handed Xie Zhi a cup of tea and said, "Young master, eat slowly, if it's not enough, Xiangyue will go and get it again." ”

I haven't eaten much in a day, can I slow down?

Xiangyue understands the original owner, and these meals can just fill her stomach.

After eating all the food, Xie Zhicai took the teacup in Xiangyue's hand and poured it into his stomach in one go.

After eating and drinking, Xie Zhi got up satisfied, and said, "Young Master Ben is sleepy, go to sleep!" ”

Xie Zhi occupied the body of the original owner, and also paid for the mistakes he left behind, which can be regarded as worthy of the original owner.

From then on, he was able to live as he pleased.

I think he is also a good young man who has received nine years of compulsory education, how can he be as muddy as the original owner!

Xie Zhi was about to leave from the study, when a servant of the Xie family walked in and said, "Fifth young master, the master asked you to go to the living room immediately!" ”

Xie Zhi was a little surprised, he just sent the copied Analects and was about to call him over, could it be that he wanted to praise him?

If it's praise, shouldn't it be to go to the study?

"Do you know what?" Xie Zhi asked.

The servant was probably afraid that Xie Zhi would directly slap him as usual, and he replied tremblingly: "The villain doesn't know." ”

Xie Zhi grinned and walked towards the servant, and the servant stepped back vigorously.

No matter how much the servant retreated, he couldn't keep up with Xie Zhi's speed.

After Xie Zhi walked to the servant's side, he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Young Master Ben knows, go immediately, you go and get busy." ”

After receiving Xie Zhi's pardon, the servant walked away faster than a rabbit.

And voila...

How bad is the image of the original owner, and what does it scare people into?

Since Xie Zhi carries the memory of the original owner, he also understands some of the internal layout of the Xie family, so there is no need for someone to take it.

After sending Xiangyue away, Xie Zhi came out of the courtyard and went directly to the living room.

Xie Zhi likes to play, and his small courtyard is the most secluded courtyard where the master of the Xie family lives, and it is also the farthest from the front hall.

After almost a stick of incense, Xie Zhi finally walked to the living room.

I was a little surprised by Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao in the living room.

In surprise, he first saluted Xie Qian, and shouted in a proper manner: "I've seen my father." ”

This is the first time Xie Zhi has really seen Xie Qian when he has crossed over.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the first assistant of the cabinet, and what he brings out between his gestures is some elegance.

Xie Qian probably didn't expect Xie Zhi to have such a polite side, and after being stunned for a moment, he darkened his face and said, "I've seen Your Majesty and the Prince." ”

At this moment, Xie Zhi's surprise directly turned into shock.

Your Majesty? Isn't that Emperor Hongji?

What about the prince? It's Zhu Houzhao!

The emperor who can only be seen in history textbooks is now standing alive in front of him?

"What are you doing? Don't hurry up and salute yet. Xie Qian scolded coldly.

Pulled out of shock by Xie Qian, Xie Zhi saluted and said, "Cao Min Xie Zhi has seen Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand with a smile and said, "No need to be polite!" ”

Before Xie Zhi could respond, Zhu Houzhao immediately spoke, saying, "This palace wants you to enter the East Palace as a companion, what do you think?" ”

Companion reading? Into the East Palace?

Xie Zhi felt that he had been in shock since he came in.

As soon as I came, I saw the only emperor Hongzhi who practiced monogamy to the end, and the bear child emperor Zhu Houzhao, who could be called a genius.

Why was this still invited to the East Palace as a companion?

Aren't all those who can be companions in reading good at character and learning?

As for the image left by the original owner, it was also read as a companion?

Xie Zhi was stunned and glanced at the smiling Emperor Hongzhi, and then glanced at his father on the side.

I saw his father squeezing his eyebrows vigorously.

Xie Zhi now understands that being a companion is Zhu Houzhao's own thoughts, and neither Emperor Hongzhi nor his father is willing to do it from the bottom of his heart.

It is now the ninth year of Hongzhi, and there are still nine years before Zhu Houzhao ascends the throne.

If Emperor Hongzhi is offended at this time, then the next nine years will not be easy.

In response to Zhu Houzhao's inquiry, Xie Zhi replied with a smile: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, the grass people may not have this talent, Your Highness is still elected as a virtuous person to be this companion." ”

Xie Zhi's refusal made both Emperor Hongzhi and Xie Qian smile widely.

Then Xie Zhi's words, Xie Qian immediately said: "What the dog said is extremely true, His Highness should find another virtuous person." ”

Emperor Hongzhi also spoke immediately, and said: "Since the kid of the Xie family is unwilling, the prince should not be strong, it's not too early, go back to the palace!" ”
