After Brother Zhang Heling was beaten, he really learned to be obedient, and he no longer dared to be domineering in his own identity.

Anyway, whatever anyone in this cell says, they just listen.

Although the cell boss treated Zhang Heling like an ordinary prisoner according to Xie Zhi's request, he was also afraid that they would have three long and two short, if they were just ordinary prisoners, they would have died, but after all, Zhang Heling was also a relative of the emperor, if he died, it was not a joke.

So when Zhang Heling was locked up in that cell, the cell boss sent someone to keep an eye on them, with the purpose of saving their lives at a critical moment.

Seeing that Brother Zhang Heling could get mixed up in that cell, he went back to report to the cell boss, "Shou Ning Hou and Jian Chang Hou were beaten and they were much more honest, except for suffering a little, they should not have to worry about their lives." ”

After listening to the report, the cell head sighed and said: "Damn, there is really a reason why those powerful and rich people can eat and drink spicy food, so they can bend and stretch, just ask if there is anyone in this world who can do it, forget it, whatever, since Shou Ninghou has no worries about his life in that cell, then let them stay, what should the people above, it is also me and other small people who can call the shots." ”

As he spoke, the cell boss threw out half of the silver Xie Zhi had just taken, and said, "Please drink the bar, brothers, and give the rest to the brothers, pay more attention to Shou Ninghou, don't let his life be lost here." ”

It's kind of funny for you to take out half of the silver, the cell boss.

Besides, Zhang Yong, after being sent out by Zhu Houzhao, he first went to see the family who was killed.

The family has not yet married a wife, has no brothers and sisters, only an old father, who has been sick in bed for many years.

Zhang Yong found Ding's home, but he didn't dare to tell the news that his son had died, so he said a few words and left.

After leaving here, Zhang Yong went directly to the young couple who were killed.

Both parents died when the young couple were young, and one of their children was still waiting to be fed.

The bitter master of the two incidents has died, and it is difficult for the relatives who are left behind, the old and the young, to know their demands from their mouths.

Since this thing can't be done, then you have to do something else, otherwise how to explain it to Zhu Houzhao.

Although it is already known that Zhang Heling did this, it is also necessary to ask about the process of some things.

These people may not have had the courage to stand up for the poor young couple at the time of the murder, but they could have said a few words for them afterwards.

When Zhang Yong asked, you had already explained the cause and effect of the matter as soon as you said a word.

After remembering the causes and consequences of these things, Zhang Yong returned to the palace as soon as possible.

After seeing Zhu Houzhao in the warm pavilion, he reported what he had learned.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his blood surged up, and he scolded: "Damn..."

But no matter what, Zhu Houzhao is just talking, if he really deals with this matter, he really can't kill his uncle.

After a pause, he said: "Xie Wu said that he wanted to solve the demands of the bitter lord, and now the bitter lord is old and young, and it is really difficult to ask them what they want, it is precisely because of this that they have more difficulties, since this matter is the fault of Shou Ninghou, the responsibility of the family to support his father, and the responsibility of the young couple to raise the children also needs to be borne by Shou Ninghou." ”

Before Zhu Houzhao's words fell, a eunuch sent a message from Empress Zhang, saying that he wanted to see him.

Although there is a rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but when Empress Zhang summoned him, he really couldn't refuse.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao actually didn't want to see Empress Zhang, but he had no choice but to respond: "I know, the palace will go over immediately." ”

After answering the eunuch's words, Zhu Houzhao did not go over immediately, after reviewing some inconsequential folds, seeing that the time was still early, he had never liked to read much, and after reading books for half an hour, he went to Kunning Palace.

When Zhu Houzhao arrived at Kunning Palace, it was already time to eat.

Empress Zhang didn't eat after passing the meal, she buckled it with a plate and waited for Zhu Houzhao.

After Zhu Houzhao entered the door and saluted, Empress Zhang was obviously a little unhappy, and said in a strange manner: "It is becoming more and more difficult to invite the prince after he is in charge of the country, and if my mother wants to see you, I have to go up for a few hours to see you." ”

Empress Zhang, as the only queen who didn't have to deal with the group of warblers and Yanyan in the harem, was protected by Emperor Hongzhi and filial piety by Zhu Houzhao, and she could be said to be the happiest queen.

This naturally developed her somewhat hypocritical temperament, even if she wanted to see Emperor Hongzhi, she would only be able to see him in half an hour at most.

Today, not only did I see that Emperor Hongzhi was blocked, but I didn't even see my son who couldn't get my wish, and I waited for nearly a day to finally see it, so can there be no resentment in my heart?

Zhu Houzhao deliberately didn't see Empress Zhang, and he knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't dare to say anything when he was reprimanded by Empress Zhang, and he drooped his head, with an attitude that what you said was right.

Queen Zhang is a loving mother in front of Zhu Houzhao anyway, in the past Zhu Houzhao's stubborn situation, Queen Zhang has always been able to love and care for her, and naturally she will not make things too difficult for Zhu Houzhao because of today's incident.

But after only a moment, he asked, "What's wrong with your father?" Why did you suddenly let you be imprisoned, the mourning family went to the Qianqing Palace a few times today, but they didn't see your father, but they just saw Xiao Jing leading several groups of dancing girls in. ”

Emperor Hongzhi used to live a completely ascetic life, but suddenly began to indulge the skeleton and live an arrogant and lascivious life, and it began to be unpredictable.

For this question, where does Zhu Houzhao know, he trained well in the Shenji Battalion, and suddenly received a decree to let him supervise the country, he hurried into the palace, and he didn't even see his father's shadow, he was still curious, so he could answer this question.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and replied: "Erchen, this is not clear, my father did not participate in the early dynasty today. ”

After thinking for a while, Empress Zhang opened her mouth and asked, "What about Xie Zhi?" He knows what's going on. ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "My father asked him to assist the government and hold the sword of the Son of Heaven, but I don't know why my father let him do this, if there is a reason, my father must let his sons know first, and he can't tell him first, right?" ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao immediately said in hindsight: "My father's trust in Xie Wu is really higher than that of his son, maybe my father really told Xie Wu that he didn't tell his son, no, his son wants to ask Xie Wu." ”

Halfway through speaking, Zhu Houzhao finally sat down, and said helplessly: "Forget it, even if Xie Wu knows, since he doesn't say it, his father told him not to say it, so there is no need to embarrass him, and it also goes against his father's will, and his father must have his intention to do this." ”

Zhu Houzhao has already figured out these things, so there is no need for Empress Zhang to say more.

Empress Zhang responded: "Xie Zhi, that kid is honest, it's good to let him help you, those old ministers in the province make things difficult for you." ”

After settling down with his son, he remembered his brother.

Empress Zhang spoke again: "You arrested your uncle and sent him to the prison of the Criminal Department?" ”

Zhu Houzhao never wanted to come to see Empress Zhang, so he guessed that Empress Zhang was going to ask him a question, and after being asked, he immediately put on a bitter and hateful expression, nodded and responded: "Yes, at that time, Erchen really had no choice, Gu Pu forced him, if Erchen didn't do that, then Gu Pu would be endless." ”

Empress Zhang is very open-minded on weekdays, but when she encountered this problem, she began to be unreasonable, and said with some sadness: "Zhao'er, that's my mother's brother, they don't become a weapon, my mother can't ignore them, my mother must teach them a good lesson, they haven't suffered since they were young, and they still have to be put back as soon as possible." ”

Empress Zhang didn't ask Zhu Houzhao to save their lives at all, but she knew that with her face, as long as it was not a heinous rebellion, she would be able to live without worry.

Zhu Houzhao was helpless, sighed, and said: "On the first day of the son's imprisonment, everyone watched it, but the queen mother just rest assured, the son will let the two uncles go home as soon as possible." ”

After Zhu Houzhao agreed, Empress Zhang said with a smile on her face: "Come and eat, go to work after eating, don't live up to your father's expectations." ”
