The small hall on the east side of the Qianqing Palace, the Hongde Palace

Brother Shou insisted on stopping the first emperor Zi Palace in the Qianqing Palace, although he moved out of the East Palace, but he lived in the Yongsu Hall on the west side of the back of the Qianqing Palace, the Hongde Hall on the east side was the original place where the Hongzhi Emperor received his ministers, and it was very convenient for Brother Shou to come to see people usually. Lewen is worth your collection

Hugging the building, Brother Shou changed his well-behaved image in Kunning Palace, and lazily tilted his head of the Arhat bed, quite a little ruffian, and looked like his uncle.

He raised his hand to take the tea brought by Xiao Gong'e and drank two sips, casually put it on the small table, and said to Zhang Yanling with a complaining face: "Little uncle, don't fool people, those two starlings are for the little lady to play!" What about the harrier eagle you promised me? ”

Seeing him like this, Zhang Heling's hanging breath suddenly relaxed, and he sat down on the next chair quite tiredly, and also began to drink tea.

Zhang Yanling also changed his listless appearance, got up, and said with a smile: "I have already found a good eagle, and even the person who boiled the eagle also bought it, but the flat-haired thing looks fierce and tight, I am afraid that my sister will blame me, so I dare not send it to the palace." ”

As soon as Brother Shou heard that he had found it, he immediately sat up straight and listened with great interest, but when he heard that the Empress Dowager Zhang was not allowed, he was immediately deflated, and leaned back on the pillow again, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "The lynx of the original Xu Zhen also said that he couldn't catch it." This harrier eagle is easy to catch, and my uncle refuses to send it in, what else can I give me? All day long, he coaxed me with nonsense. ”

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "There is no such thing, how dare you deceive the emperor!" The lynx is really hard to find, but the next man found two leopards, which are also extremely heroic, one of them is common, and the other is completely black, which is very rare. I thought that Halloween would come up and ......"

Brother Shou got up with "Teng", high-fived and smiled: "Good uncle!" Sure enough, you know me best! ”

I was so happy that I forgot the title of "I".

Zhang Yanling saw his true feelings, and felt a little proud in his heart, it was in vain that he sent people around to find this rare beast, in the end, it was the appetite of the little emperor.

Brother Shou walked around the house twice, chanting words in his mouth, and suddenly stopped in front of Zhang Heling, squinted his eyes at him, looked like a scoundrel, and said, "What birthday gift did my uncle and I prepare?" ”

Zhang Heling was still thinking about how to lead the words to the salt lead, but he was distracted for a while, and when the emperor asked him like this, he couldn't answer a little stuck.

Brother Shou rolled his eyelids, like a child turning his face, pulled down his face, turned around and rubbed a few steps with his back hand to walk towards the Luohan bed.

Zhang Heling realized that it was inappropriate to say anything, and immediately gave Zhang Yanling a look, Zhang Yanling was a little impatient, but still smiled at Brother Shou: "The emperor doesn't know your uncle yet!" It's still the same three, the night pearl, the coral tree, and the gilded Buddha! ”

Brother Shou sneered in his heart, pretending to look like a child on his face, and said unhappily: "That's Mrs. Tai's auspicious thing for longevity at this age, what is it to me and me, and I don't say that I am coaxed." ”

Zhang Heling hurriedly said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that the minister was not thoughtful, and he will rearrange it when he goes back." ”

Brother Shou smiled and said, "It's only been three days." ”

Zhang Heling choked, he couldn't answer for a while, he really couldn't pat his chest and promise that he would definitely find something that satisfied this eccentric nephew, the emperor.

In the past, he valued the birthday gift of the emperor and queen every year, and he really didn't care about this thing for his nephew.

This year...... The emperor has changed......

When Brother Shou saw him like this, he suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Uncle is stumped for me?" How can I be embarrassed for my uncle? I just have what I want, I don't know if my uncle is willing to part with love? ”

He had the appearance of an innocent child, his eyes were crooked, and his smile was extraordinarily innocent.

The corners of Zhang Heling's mouth twitched, and he said, "I don't know if the emperor is looking at ......"

Brother Shou pointed at Zhang Yanling and said: "The little uncle wants to send me leopards and eagles, but the queen mother is not allowed to keep them in the imperial garden. The things that the eldest uncle and the younger uncle gave me together are a piece of my uncle's heart, and the queen mother will not be angry, nor will she stop me from calling. Uncle, do you think so? ”

Zhang Heling's face stiffened, and even Zhang Yanling's smile was a little unbearable.

Bescin. That's not just an ordinary house or a Zhuangzi.

That's the Royal Garden!

Let the Zhang family repair the royal garden?!

That is forcing the Zhangjia Jinshan Yinhai to fill in.

Is it pretending to be stupid or really stupid?!

Zhang Heling only felt that the most worrying thing in his heart had finally happened, since Brother Shou became the prince, he was not so close to the Zhang family, and now he ...... Without the mediation of the first emperor of mercy, is Brother Shou going to reach out to the Zhang family?

He couldn't help but look at Brother Shou's expression carefully, but he saw that his immature face was full of eager anticipation, like a child waiting for his elders to promise him a beloved thing. He hesitated for a while, this is a child who will be fifteen years old, how much scheming does a half-grown child have, how deep does the city government have, can he pretend to be like this?

Think about Brother Shou's always fun-loving nature.

Thinking about it again, the matter of today's leopard was indeed mentioned by Erlang first, and he did tell Brother Shou that he was afraid that the queen mother's sister would not allow it, so he didn't dare to send it directly to the palace.

Think about it again, the sister who is now the most noble queen mother in the world, think about the pressure of filial piety, and Brother Shou has not yet ascended the throne, how can he be so reckless to reach out?

At this moment, Zhang Heling had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he hesitated and didn't dare to open his mouth.

Brother Shou was still staring at his eldest uncle with that small eye, and urged in an impatient tone with a temper: "Uncle, is it okay?" ”

Zhang Heling barely squeezed out a smile, thinking that he had a bit of a ridiculous taste: "The emperor can spare the poor two uncles, the Zhang family can't open the pot here, so they came to ask for some salt, how can they get so much silver to build a royal garden?" And how could the royal palace be cultivated by ordinary courtiers? Now that the bullets are almost gone, if you really dare to conjure up a villa for the emperor, the head on the minister's neck will not need to be drowned by the bullet chapter, and he will directly move his position. ”

He teased him without any taboos, which alleviated the embarrassing atmosphere at the moment.

Brother Shou was still smiling, and he also teased: "Uncle also came to coax me, it seems that he is reluctant, right?" ”

Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly: "I am really willing to take out my heart with the emperor!" Where is there anything reluctant. It's just that this matter can't be done like this. Emperor...... Think about that starter Yushi, but spare us. ”

Zhang Yanling twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "What rare living creature does the emperor want, my uncle will definitely find it." This royal annex really can't be built. ”

Brother Shou didn't speak, but only looked at the Zhang brothers with that smile.

No matter how the Zhang brothers coaxed and persuaded him, he didn't say a word.

Gradually, the sound in the room quieted, and only a dead silence remained.

Brother Shou sat casually on the Luohan bed, fiddling with the tea cup, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and no waves in his eyes, staring directly at the Zhang brothers.

Immediately, the room became suffocated.

This little emperor is only fifteen years old, but at this moment, he already has the awe-inspiring momentum of a monarch, and he has the taste of not being angry and arrogant.

Fine beads of sweat were faintly visible on the corners of Zhang Heling's forehead, and he opened his mouth a few times, but he couldn't find a topic that could break the silence, so he closed it again.

Zhang Yanling's head hung down again, only staring at the rope on the jade pendant, without saying a word.

At this moment, the Zhang brothers resented each other.

Zhang Heling secretly scolded Zhang Yanling in his heart, he usually saw that you had a clever tongue, and said that you can reply ten sentences in one sentence, how can you pretend to be dumb at this time? ! Just use cats and dogs to coax Brother Shou to be happy, and there is a fart! People want the royal palace now, what do you give! It's not good to coax him to go!

Zhang Yanling scolded his eldest brother in his heart, elm head, and told you to prepare a few fun things for Brother Shou, but you refused to bother. Brother Shou is a child who is so easy to coax, this is good, you save silver, fold millions of taels of silver into it, the royal garden, if Brother Shou sprinkles, he really wants this garden, I will see what you give!

Liu Jin behind Brother Shou, as always, drooped his eyelids and pretended to be a wooden man, but he was actually happy in his heart.

Liu Jin looked down on the Zhang family, and he didn't talk about the Zhang family's extravagant provocation here with Brother Shou. Listening to Brother Shou's mouth, he was taking the army of the Zhang family, the general of Beiyuan, thinking that he listened to his words, and he was somewhat complacent about his influence on the little emperor.

He swept the corner of his eye, and saw a small waiter probing his brain outside the curtain, at first he just didn't see it, and then the stalemate lasted for a long time, Liu Jin pondered, if this matter is really called the emperor's press, the queen mother is afraid that it is not easy to say, not to mention that the emperor did not ascend the throne, that is, he ascended the throne, and there is filial piety, which also has to listen to the queen mother.

Liu Jin immediately came out to play a round, and replied in Brother Shou's ear, and someone outside was waiting to reply. After that, I also specially looked at the Zhang family brothers, and planned to sell personal favors.

Brother Shou didn't mean to send the Zhang brothers to retreat, and he didn't even look at it, so he waved his hand casually and called the outside and inner servants to come in and reply.

It was Liu Zhong who came in, followed by two small chamberlains who filled in the lacquer and held the box.

After Liu Zhong saluted, he bowed and retreated to the side, and the little attendants stepped forward and knelt down and opened the two boxes above their heads and raised them above their heads for Brother Shou to look at.

Liu Zhong explained on the side: "The slave maid sent **** to the Empress Dowager at the behest of the emperor, and the Empress Dowager was very happy, and said that it was delicious after drinking, and asked the slave maid to come back with two snacks and ask the emperor to try it." The Empress Dowager said that she had all the crispy dim sum over there, and she was afraid that the emperor would not like it, but these two steamed cakes were still small and delicious, so please don't dislike them. ”

Brother Shou smiled, motioned to the eunuch who tried the food to come and taste it, and after nothing else, he picked up a small boxy steamed cake the size of a dragon's eye and looked at it carefully.

In fact, the cake is unremarkable, but it is a steamed cake with fine white noodles, a red dot on it, the red and white are commensurate and beautiful, and the six small cakes are placed in the plum blossom plate, which is also chic.

The other is a small round steamed cake with golden color, which looks a little rough made of coarse grains, but it smells fragrant and very attractive.

These two things are lightly sweet in the mouth, but they are soft and tight, which is the favorite taste of the elderly.

Brother Shou tasted one of everything, rinsed his mouth, and said to Liu Zhong with a smile: "It's still the old lady's thoughts, these are the old lady's favorite things." The old lady has been feeling better lately? Are you still coughing in the morning or evening? Seeing that it is also in October, the old lady is afraid of the cold, can the charcoal over there be prepared? Liu Zhong, you will go to Xiao Daban's side later, the rules and everything must be changed, and everything is important to the old lady's body. ”

Liu Zhong bowed down first, and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the empress dowager looks at it and is already very good, Aunt Dong said that there is still a cough in the morning and evening, it is not so serious, the day before yesterday, the imperial doctor changed the prescription and went to the two medicines, which is light." The Empress Dowager asked the slaves and maids to ask the emperor how well, and instructed the slaves and maids to take good care of the emperor's body and not to let official duties burden the emperor. ”

Brother Shou was quite moved, and sighed again: "It's still the old lady who is thinking about me." ”

After that, as if he suddenly saw that the Zhang brothers were still there, he smiled and ordered: "If the two uncles have nothing to do, go and talk to your mother and grandmother." I finally came in and spent more time with them. ”

The Zhang brothers are not fools, the emperor's actions in front of them are undoubtedly showing that there is still a queen mother in the palace who is higher than the queen mother!

This queen mother, no matter how silent she is, is also a canonized queen of the constitution, the justifiable queen mother, is no more noble than the queen mother of the queen mother of Zhou, and in terms of etiquette, she is firmly above the queen mother.

The phrase "I finally came in" is also very meaningful! The Zhang brothers were frequent visitors to the palace when they were young, but when they grew up, they came in less because they had a lot of avoidance, so they also had to come in in and ask Mrs. Jin to say goodbye. Now the little emperor said this......

The vests of the Zhang brothers were a little cold, Zhang Heling gritted his back molars, forced a smile and pretended to be stupid and tentatively said: "Your Majesty, didn't you ask us to come over and discuss how to talk to the cabinet about salt introduction?" ”

The smile on Brother Shou's face faded, and he picked up another piece of steamed cake, and said casually: "Oh? What did my uncle teach? ”

Zhang Heling stared at the little emperor for a moment, lowered his head, and only said, "...... The minister didn't dare. ”

Brother Shou didn't seem to hear Zhang Heling's obedient appearance, and still said: "Then the eldest uncle doesn't go to accompany his mother and grandmother, is he going to leave the palace?" It's good. The **** is still very good, the eldest uncle and the little uncle should also take some back, and I am happy to come to the queen mother. ”

Zhang Heling's spine stiffened, and he wanted to say that we should go to the queen mother's side, but Brother Shou had already instructed Liu Jin to come by himself: "Quickly order someone to go to the queen mother's side to ask for two more jars of ****, and the two uncles will go out of the palace and take them." ”

Zhang Heling couldn't say anything more, so he had to bow and leave.

Zhang Yanling didn't seem to care, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the leopard and the eagle will be sent to the palace tomorrow?" lest the Wanshou Festival make the prince Yushi see it and be verbose. ”

Brother Shou smiled and said, "Uncle, let's send the eagle in first." Leopard, now the palace can't run away, and it's behind the Kunning Palace, the queen mother is afraid and not at ease, and it's time to teach me a lesson. ”

The words went back to the royal garden.

Zhang Yanling didn't dare to answer easily, so he replied, and was glared at by Zhang Heling again, and he was also angry in his heart, and retreated unhappily.

Liu Jin ordered Liu Zhong to personally send the Zhang brothers out of the palace early in the morning, so as not to prevent the two of them from going to Kunning Palace again.

However, what happened here can't be hidden from the Queen Mother's side, and the emperor doesn't know how much of the Queen Mother's eyeliner is around.

After the people left, Liu Jin couldn't help but whisper to Brother Shou: "The emperor is still a little anxious about this matter." Doesn't it hurt the harmony of mother and son when he says this? ”

Brother Shou was silent in the face of his provocation, and only said lightly: "What about Qiu Ju?" Call him over. ”

Qiu Ju, the great eunuch beside Brother Shou in the past, is now transferred to the East Factory.

Although Hongzhi did not ban Dongchang, he let Wang Yue, an upright person, supervise Dongchang, so that Dongchang would not repeat the original murderous name to the greatest extent.

But Liu Jin knew that Brother Shou didn't have a good impression of Wang Yue, and he had already replaced Wang Yue's heart with his henchman Qiu Ju, who grew up with him.

Liu Jin relied on suppressing the internal officials of the East Palace to have today's status, and he was dissatisfied with any internal official, especially Qiu Ju and he did not deal with him so much, when he heard that Brother Shou was looking for Qiu Ju, he was unhappy in his heart, and asked quietly on his face: "The emperor is ...... this way"

"Ask something." Brother Shou only said casually, and then ordered, "Ming'er asked Mu Bin to come too." Don't go with me. ”

Mu Bin is now the commander of Jinyiwei.

Liu Jin really couldn't figure it out, and when he saw that Brother Shou was focused on the two boxes of dim sum and didn't want to pay attention to people, he didn't say much, stepped back lightly, and ordered someone to find Qiu Ju.

Brother Shou fiddled with the small pastries in his hand, and sighed in his heart, except for his father, it was the old lady (Queen Mother Zhou) who loved him the most, but now his father and the old lady have gone......

Brother Shou felt sad for a while, and he burst into tears, his mind was full of the words that the emperor had said to him back then, especially later, the emperor was not in good health, and he probably knew it, so he was always anxious to teach him everything, he understood some of them, and some of them were confused.

Right now...... Brother Shou wiped his face and looked directly at the snack in his hand.

The Queen Mother has always been silent, and she is alienated and cold from everyone in the palace. is very good to Brother Shou, but he is not as close as the Empress Dowager Zhou, it is always like something apart.

The Empress Dowager Wang has three younger brothers, the eldest brother Wang Yuan Chenghua was crowned in 20 years, and the Marquis in Hongzhi 6 years; the second brother Wang Qing Hongzhi was awarded Chongshan Bo for ten years; The third brother Wang Jun does not have a knighthood now, and only has the false title of Zuo Du Governor.

It can be seen that the holy grace is honest, and it is no wonder that compared with the Zhou family and the Zhang family, the Wang family is simply low-key.

"That's not going to work." Brother Shou muttered to himself.

He had never thought of this before, and he had an instinctive aversion to the arrogant and domineering relatives, who only felt that they were all rats and moths, destroying the royal reputation. For this reason, he later talked to his father more than once.

Until he sat in this position, thinking back to his father's past actions and those vague words at the end...... The father and the emperor held up the Zhang family, although it was the father and the queen mother and the queen couple who had a deep affection, but it was not the Zhang family against the old Zhou family, the capital of the Chenghua Dynasty.

The emperor's mind is the word "balance".

The Empress Dowager Zhou passed away, the Zhou family saw the decline, and the other relatives were even worse, leaving only the Zhang family dominant.

And now, the Zhang family is the emperor's "uncle's family", and the arrogance is even more prosperous in the past, such relatives do not meet the requirements of the emperor. is not because of all kinds of grievances with the Zhang family, simply as an emperor, Brother Shou also wants to suppress his relatives of the Zhang family.

Salt can be given, but it is not the Zhang family who will take it.

The Royal Palace can be a joke, but it can't be erased as soon as the upper lip of the Zhang family touches the lower lip.

In the way of the Queen Mother, in the way of longevity, he can beat, but he can't shoot directly.

Then we have to find a family that can compete with the Zhang family.

Brother Shou sighed, crushed the dim sum, and the Wang family ...... I'm afraid I can't afford it, can I only use the Zhou family?

I don't know what kind of family his queen is.

Faintly, Brother Shou was looking forward to his queen, and remembered the Zhang family's calculations, I was afraid that in the near future, the Zhang family would send the little lady into the palace, right?

Brother Shou smiled coldly and threw his hand full of debris back into the box.

Then he watched, how the Zhang family made this joke.

His harem, how can he allow the Zhang family to interfere again!
