Hearing Zhu Youjiao's words, Wang Hua was slightly stunned.

Let your son be the left squire of the military department?

You must know that this is a real job, which is different from the previous title, and has completely achieved the number two person in the military department.

Wang Hua felt that His Majesty might be testing himself, so he hurriedly said: "The courtiers are only shallow in their studies, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, so I ask Your Majesty to withdraw his fate." ”

Wang Hua is so cautious, on the one hand, for his son, and on the other hand, he is also the prince.

The crown prince of the current dynasty was already strong enough and already held a lot of power in all aspects.

This is Your Majesty today, otherwise a struggle would have broken out between father and son long ago.

In the eyes of many courtiers, it is not easy to maintain this situation for so long. This has something to do with the fact that His Majesty has only one son, and it also has something to do with His Majesty's personality.

But there is a limit to everything. Once this limit is exceeded, something will happen to it. So many courtiers have begun to worry about how they will stand in line once the emperor and the crown prince have a conflict?

If Your Majesty has other sons, it may be easier to do, but now Your Majesty has a son of the crown prince, and if you are in favor of offending Your Majesty, you will offend the prince if you oppose it.

In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, how can you have good fruit to eat?

Therefore, the ministers did not want this situation to happen in their hearts, and the same was true for Wang Hua.

Especially Wang Hua's father and son are too sensitive, if this situation really happens, then things may be in trouble.

With their father and son as the tipping point, how do their father and son deal with themselves?

Glancing at Wang Hua, Zhu Youzhu smiled helplessly, and said, "That's how Aiqing sees me?" ”

"I don't dare." Wang Hua hurriedly spoke.

Obviously, his attitude made the emperor unhappy, and he suddenly became apprehensive in his heart.

Could it be that I thought wrong, His Majesty really wanted to use his own son?

"Wang Shouren is very talented, and he has made a lot of contributions over the years. If it weren't for the fact that he was still young and needed to be pressed, he would not be where he is now. There are many things that you should also understand, Aiqing, so there is no need for me to say it so clearly. ”

"But young people always have to be trained, otherwise they won't understand things too well. Wang Shouren has done a good job in the past few years, but he has indeed always been in the military, and he has always been in the locality, which is not very good for him. ”

"If you want to be stable for a few years when you come back this time, then simply go to the military department. Be a squire in the military department, let him know what is going on in the army of the whole country, and learn how to do things in the center. ”

"This is very good for his future, Aiqing doesn't have to think about it, just put his heart in his stomach. If I had the chance, I wouldn't have waited until today. ”

"I have such a son, and the Ming Dynasty has such a prince, which is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and a blessing for the world. I know that I am not the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, but I still have the mind I should have. ”

Listening to Zhu Youzhang's words, Wang Hua's face showed a look of shame, and he directly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and then said: "Your Majesty said this, and the minister did not dare to agree. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been close to the people and diligent in government, benevolent and benevolent in governing the country, and since the three emperors and below, there are few people who can surpass His Majesty. If Your Majesty can't be called a Ming Jun, then how can I have a Ming Jun in the world? ”

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the internal cultivation of virtue and politics, the external shock of Hulu, my Ming Dynasty has risen to peace in all seas, and the national strength has flourished, Your Majesty is really the Holy Lord of my Ming Dynasty. The Ming monarchs and saints of the past dynasties are the models of the emperors of later generations

Zhu Youzhu looked at Wang Hua and listened to what he said, a smile appeared on his face, and then quickly disappeared.

He stepped down from it and helped Wang Hua up with his own hands.

Looking at Wang Hua with a smile, Zhu Youzhu opened his mouth and said: "I only wish that the world is peaceful, and the people have clothes and food in their stomachs, so my wish is enough." ”

"Your Majesty." Wang Hua hurriedly bowed down and said.

"Okay, this matter is settled, you go back and tell your son, let him rest for a few days, and then go directly to the military department to take office."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Hua hurriedly agreed, and then said, "In this way, the minister will retire." ”

Nodding slightly, Zhu Youzhu looked at Wang Hua's back, revealing a thoughtful look.

After Wang Hua walked away, Zhu Youzhu shook his head gently, and then walked towards the harem with his hands behind his back.

It's better to accompany the queen.

This matter soon spread throughout the city of Beijing, and for a while, the courtiers praised Zhu Youzhu even more.

Obviously, His Majesty was able to do this, which was something that many courtiers did not expect, and at the same time, it was something that made them happy.

Speaking of it, it is really comfortable to do things under the command of His Majesty today. Being able to get such an emperor is what the courtiers look forward to the most, so it must be praised.

Therefore, the praise of Zhu Youzhu has been raised to a higher level, and he has basically surpassed the two emperors of Han Wenjing and is the holy lord of Zhongxing.

Suddenly, inside and outside the capital, the praise of Zhu Youzhu resounded in the sky.

Xianyang Palace.

Naturally, the news also spread here, but after hearing the news, Zhu Houzhao didn't speak for a long time.

He also sighed very much in his heart, the Hongzhi Emperor of the Ming Dynasty deserves to be called Renjun, just this heart and mind, this is not something that ordinary emperors can reach.

While Zhu Houzhao was standing in a daze, Liu Jin quietly walked to his side and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Tang Bohu asks to see him." ”

Compared with Wang Shouren, Tang Bohu naturally doesn't have so many people paying attention to him, and at the same time, not so many people care about him, so he can come here to ask for a meeting with peace of mind.

If Tang Bohu doesn't come, it will make people think that he is ungrateful. After all, Tang Bohu started from his beginnings. has been promoted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

That case of fraud in the imperial examination, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince, Tang Bohu would have been abolished a long time ago. It is precisely because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values and promotes him that he has today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is his benefactor, and it is normal to give his life to His Royal Highness the Prince.

If you don't go back and bow to the prince, it is no longer a matter of being an official, but a matter of character, and you will definitely be spurned.

When Zhu Houzhao heard that Tang Bohu was coming, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Then let him in." ”

In fact, Zhu Houzhao is still very curious about Tang Bohu.

Such a down-and-out genius in the history of the Ming Dynasty, what is happening today?

Zhu Houzhao wanted to know.

In the northwest in the past few years, is he still the same as before?

Zhu Houzhao also wanted to see it.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Liu Jin agreed, and hurriedly turned around and walked outside.

It didn't take long for Tang Bohu to walk in under the guidance of Liu Jin.

After seeing Zhu Houzhao, Tang Bohu directly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and then said: "Minister Tang Bohu, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled when he saw the scene, and walked straight in front of Tang Bohu. Stretched out his hand to Tang Bohu and helped him up.

He looked Tang Bohu up and down. said with a smile: "It looks a lot darker, and it is a lot stronger." It's good, it's good. ”

Tang Bohu smiled a little shyly and said, "The minister in the northwest did not disgrace His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Although this sentence was said very lightly, Tang Bohu's tone was very heavy, and it was obvious that this sentence had been pressed in his heart for a long time.

It seems to be showing merit, but it is actually talking about his heart.

has been in the northwest for such a long time, in addition to doing things for the people, Tang Bohu's most firm thought in his heart is that he can't embarrass the prince, he is a person from His Royal Highness the prince.

He has this kind of thought, all because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values him.

As the so-called soldier dies for his confidant, in Tang Bohu's view, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind to him. Enough to repay yourself with death. That's why he was thinking about it all the time.

Hearing Tang Bohu's words, Zhu Youxiao's expression also became serious, he stretched out his hand and gently patted Tang Bohu's shoulder, and said, "You have done a good job in the northwest, and this palace has always received a report." You didn't disappoint Hongu, Hongu didn't look at the wrong person. ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Tang Bohu's eyes turned a little red, and then he bowed down and said, "The minister doesn't dare to disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Good, well done." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile again, and at the same time turned his head to look at Liu Jin, and ordered: "Let people go and prepare a table of wine and food, and the palace wants to have a good drink with Tang Bohu." ”

Liu Jin agreed, then turned around and went out to make arrangements.

"Come, sit down." Zhu Houzhao pulled Tang Bohu to sit down and said, "Although there are also statements in the newspaper, many things still have to be said by you in person. Come, tell the Northwest about the Northwest. ”

Tang Bohu naturally did not dare to slack off, and reported everything he saw, heard and done in the northwest to Zhu Houzhao in detail.

Zhu Houzhao listened attentively, and from time to time he opened his mouth to say a few words to Tang Bohu.

In a palace in Xianyang Palace, the crown princess looked at the palace maid in front of her and asked, "Isn't His Royal Highness the crown prince coming for dinner?" ”

"Back to the crown princess, Gonggong Liu came to explain just now, and His Royal Highness the prince is not here today." The palace maid said: "It is said that an official named Tang Bohu came in front, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to drink with him. ”

"Tang Bohu?" The crown princess asked with some hesitation: "But that side plug talent?" ”

"Back to the crown princess, it is the talented man who is the side plug." The palace maid said with a little hope on her face: "People say that this talented man in the Ming Dynasty is the first talent today, and his poetry, calligraphy and painting are the first at that time, especially the poems he made, which are quite prosperous in the Tang Dynasty." ”

The crown princess nodded and said with some appreciation: "I have also read some, and it is true." But I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had such a deep friendship with him, and he actually had to leave him in the palace to drink, which was something that had never happened before. You go to someone and ask and see what's going on. ”

"Yes. Crown Princess. The palace maid agreed, and then hurried out to find someone.

Soon a slightly older eunuch was brought in.

After hearing the princess's question, the eunuch hurriedly said: "This matter seems to have been going on for many years, when Tang Bohu was involved in a case of fraud in the imperial examination, although there was no evidence in the end, but because he was debauched, His Majesty still punished him, wanted to cut his reputation, and was never allowed to participate in the imperial examination." ”

At that time, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who rescued him and sent him to the northwest. The slave and maid remembered very well that at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to that Tang Bohu that he wanted him to use a pen to paint the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, and to use poetry to write the scenery of the Ming Dynasty. ”

So Tang Bohu went to the northwest, originally only needed to stay in the northwest for three years, who would have thought that he would stay for five years. In the past five years, Tang Bohu has traveled to many places in the northwest, written many poems, and painted many paintings. After returning to the capital, he studied hard for a year, and was admitted to the Jinshi in one fell swoop, and then followed the prince. ”

"Many people say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a discerning eye, and this is what he is talking about. This Tang Bohu did not disappoint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has always been diligent and diligent as an official over the years, and his reputation is also very good. This time he was transferred back to the capital, and he must be reused by the imperial court. ”

When the old eunuch said this, his face was also full of joy, and then he said: "This Tang Bohu is a minister of His Royal Highness the Prince's palace, if you have to say who has the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more than him, it can only be Lord Wang Shouren." ”

When the crown princess heard this, she also had a rough idea in her heart.

Of course, she knows more about the matter of the crown prince and Wang Shouren.

This Wang Shouren also followed the prince from the beginning, trained with the prince, and followed the prince to fight everywhere, it can be said that the prince's leading soldiers were originally very good, and now he also has the momentum of the first person in the Ming military.

"I wonder if he will send some poems or calligraphy and paintings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today?" With such expectations in her heart, the crown princess muttered.

In fact, the crown princess guessed correctly, Tang Bohu did bring a painting, which was being shown to Zhu Hou at this time.

This is a long, long painting, which depicts the Ming Dynasty's border fortress, the majestic desert, the isolated city walls, and the so-called soldiers, which look so real.

Zhu Houzhao looked at this picture scroll little by little, and the expression on his face gradually became excited.

After reading it, Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at Tang Bohu and said: "This painting can be a treasure of the world, comparable to the Qingming Riverside Picture of the Song Dynasty, and comparable to the Song Dynasty's Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains!" ”

"It's so drawn! Good drawing! Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Tang Bohu's paintings made with his heart, coupled with his talent, are naturally worthy of this title.

Seeing a treasure-level painting appear in front of him, Zhu Houzhao's heart was naturally very happy.

Tang Bohu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly said: "The minister has never dared to forget the explanation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the minister, and used the pen in the minister's hand to depict the thousands of miles of the Ming Dynasty. This picture of the side is painted by the minister after traveling all over the northwest. ”

"Now the northwest is no longer what it used to be, and the people's living arrangements are getting richer and richer, thanks to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. To be born in such a prosperous era, to be so valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister Sansheng is fortunate. ”

Zhu Houzhao patted Tang Bohu's shoulder with a smile and said, "This painting went back to the palace to dedicate to his father, I believe he will also like it very much." ”
