There were suddenly a lot of impeachment scripts above the court, and the impeachments were Liu Qi and Qi You.

In this regard, Zhu Houzhao is not surprised, this kind of operation is too common in officialdom.

If I oppose your policies and I can't find a good reason, then I'll kill you.

If there is no way to solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem. This is a very conventional way to do this.

So the question of impeaching the two of them was sent to the palace like crazy, but the momentum was a little too big.

As for why this situation occurred, the reason is also very simple, because of the connivance of His Majesty.

Without the connivance of the emperor, this would never have happened. Daddy wants to move them, so take this opportunity and with a little indulgence, the two of them will pay the price.

In fact, as Zhu Houzhao expected, Qi You and Liu Qi were pushed to the forefront for a while.

Most of the things about the two of them have been turned over, and the reasons for impeachment are also varied and strange, such as corruption and bribery, employment of people, and self-interest, and all of them are very serious.

If these charges are implemented, in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, these two people will not be unjustly pulled out and cut down, let alone removed from official positions and demoted.

Suddenly, the courtiers also knew that these two men were about to fall. However, some people are worried, will this be His Majesty taking the opportunity to reduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's henchmen?

If that's the case, then things might be in trouble.

Before the others felt anything, Zhu Houzhao's uncle was frightened first, so he ran directly to Xianyang Palace.

Looking at Zhang Heling, Zhu Houzhao's face was very helpless.

After several years of growth, this uncle of mine is no longer the second ancestor recorded in history.

His whole person revealed a momentum that only a superior person has, and he is not as flustered as when he encountered things before, but sitting there gives people a feeling of calmness like a mountain, which may also be because of his age.

Anyway, now it seems that he already has the style of a loyal minister of the court.

Glancing at his uncle, Zhu Houzhao said helplessly: "Uncle came over today, but is there anything wrong?" ”

For his prince's nephew, Zhang Heling was afraid in his heart. This fear has been planted from the very beginning.

Zhang Heling once thought that his nephew would be very good to him and would push himself to a very high position. didn't expect to knock himself to the bottom in an instant, forcing himself to do a lot of things.

Do it whether you want it or not.

In the past few years, he has indeed made a lot of money with this prince's nephew, and his status has been greatly improved, but when facing this prince's nephew, Zhang Heling has no confidence in his heart.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's question, Zhang Heling said with a smile: "Your Highness has been back to Beijing for so long, and the minister has not come to visit, which is really a loss of duty as a minister." So today, I came to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Zhu Hou glanced at his uncle and showed a playful smile.

Uncle is really a lot more mature, if it had been before, he would not have made this bend, and he would definitely ask the questions he wanted to ask directly. Now it's okay to do this.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Uncle has a heart." ”

Zhang Heling hurriedly said: "This is the duty of the minister. ”

Then he said: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any orders, the ministers will come to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to obey the orders." ”

This sentence is more interesting, to put it bluntly, if there is something, you can tell it, and I will definitely be willing to do it for you.

On the one hand, it is to show loyalty, and on the other hand, it is to find out the news.

This made Zhu Houzhao feel a little emotional, and his uncle really did it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "It makes my uncle worried." There is nothing too big to do, and this palace has been reading and practicing martial arts in the palace recently. By the way, this is the biggest thing in front of us. ”

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's smile and listening to his words, Zhang Heling judged the truth of these words in his heart.

But he didn't see anything for a while, so he said: "In this case, after the minister goes back, he will send some good things in, all of which are the supplements that the minister has collected over the years to replenish the body of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." ”

Stretching out his hand to put down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Uncle has a heart." ”

"Then the minister withdrew."

After Zhang Heling agreed, he saluted respectfully, and then withdrew.

When I walked out of Xianyang Palace. Zhang Helin thinks it's still not good, there is still no bottom in his heart, so it's better to go to his sister to inquire.

If there is anyone in this palace who he trusts the most and who will not lie to him the most, it can only be his sister.

The most important thing is that my sister must know the truth of the matter, which Zhang Heling has never doubted. How much the emperor's brother-in-law loves his sister, he still knows very well in his heart, and the most important thing is that it has never changed over the years.

Inside Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao put down the book in his hand, raised his head to look at Liu Jin, and then said, "Did you go to Kunning Palace?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Uncle Guo did go to the queen's side." Liu Jin hurriedly bowed down and said.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Don't care." You lead the way in front and go to the Crown Princess's side. ”

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao stood up, and then remembered what to order: "Hou Shouning will send some things into the palace, and you can accept them when the time comes." By the way, prepare a return gift and send it to the Shouning Marquis Mansion. ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince. The slave and maid immediately let people prepare. Liu Jin agreed again.

There was a lot of noise outside, but inside the palace was as safe as usual.

For this incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not come forward, which makes everyone hesitate, especially Qi You and Liu Qi.

With so many people impeaching them, the two of them naturally had to close their doors at home, and at the same time, they also had to submit a plea of guilt.

Although the two of them can't leave the house now, the news from the outside has not been less spread to them, and the two of them are really scared.

They have always been His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's people, and it has been smooth sailing as officials over the years. Everyone knows that they are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's people, so even if they don't intersect, they won't make things difficult for them.

But this time the situation was reversed, as if overnight, everyone had become their enemies, and they seemed to have done something heinous.

The two of them were terrified for a moment.

It didn't take long, and about four days later, there was news in the palace.

Zhu Youzhu picked up a few unclear charges and punished these two people.

Qi You was sent directly to Nanjing to be the secretary of the ministry; As for Liu Qi, he was directly sent to Liaodong as a governor.

The two of them all had arrangements, and there was a vacancy in the household department in an instant, so everyone began to gear up.

You must know that the household department has been under the control of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past few years, and the most critical problem is that it has developed too fast, and it is natural for everyone to be able to further get such a fat shortage.

However, ordinary people really don't dare to stretch out their hands, and even those who dare to stretch out their hands are waiting.

Because everyone knows that Tobe is His Royal Highness the Prince. In such a situation, no matter who is allowed to go up, he will be targeted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he is hated by His Royal Highness the Prince, it will be more than worth the loss.

So for a while, the Shouning Marquis Mansion was lively again. Everyone knows who Shou Ninghou is, he is the uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, needless to say.

The most critical point is that everyone knows that to some extent, the Marquis of Shouning is the spokesperson of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside the palace.

If there is something to do, or if you want to find out any news, it is most suitable to find Shou Ninghou.

In Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao naturally got the news, so he could only smile bitterly.

Uncle can be regarded as suffering an unwarranted disaster, this time he and his father didn't calculate him, maybe this is the responsibility that needs to be borne to take benefits.

Looking up at the crown princess not far away, Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile, "Why did you come here?" ”

"The concubine made some lotus seed soup, Your Highness tasted it." The crown princess said with a smile.

At the same time, she looked at Zhu Houzhao with some worry, the news outside naturally spread a lot, and she heard some more or less in the palace. Especially when someone said that he was going to be punished by His Majesty, the crown princess was even more worried.

There was no surprised expression on Zhu Houzhao's face, the crown princess was very worried, he naturally knew.

But I can't say this kind of thing, I can't explain it, I can't tell the crown princess, this is a scene between myself and my father, right?

That also seems too child's play, detrimental to the majesty of the father.

Reaching out to take the lotus seed soup made by the crown princess, Zhu Houzhao took a sip and nodded with satisfaction.

Speaking of which, after the crown princess entered the palace, she may have learned it before entering the palace, and she showed perfect cooking skills.

This made many people unexpected, especially Zhu Houzhao. You must know that the princess gave him the impression that she was a talented woman who read poetry and books, and more often, it should be that her hands are not touched by the spring water.

But I didn't expect her to cook a good dish, and she often made something for Zhu Houzhao to eat on weekdays, which made Zhu Houzhao very satisfied.

Stretching out his hand to hold the crown princess's hand, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, just wait." Hongu is the only son of his father, so there will be nothing going on, so you just have to put your heart in your stomach. ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao patted her hand and comforted her gently: "I have been running around for the past few years, and this bitter cold place of the Ming Dynasty is about to be visited by the palace, so it's time to take a good rest." ”

"I've been married to you for so long, and I haven't been able to accompany you well, this time, I'll accompany you well, let's try to have a big fat son."

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao squeezed his eyes at the crown princess.

Although the two have been married for so long, the crown princess is still a little shy about Zhu Houzhao's daytime flirtation, so she can only nod shyly,

"The concubine has something to say." The crown princess spoke.

Zhu Houzhao raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Concubines this month...... No menstrual affairs. The crown princess said with her head down.

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and send the Imperial Doctor! Zhu Houzhao stood up and instructed Liu Jin beside him: "Go quickly, find the imperial doctor immediately!" ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Liu Jin didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly turned around and ran out.

This is a big thing in the Ming Dynasty, if the crown princess is really pregnant, then everything is not a problem. Liu Jin's heart was also excited, so he ran fast.

Looking at Liu Jin's back, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen him run so fast." ”

Although he said it very easily, Zhu Houzhao's heart was excited, and at the same time, he was nervous.

Compared to others, he knows his own family affairs.

Originally, I was historical, but I really didn't have children. And in the end, he died inexplicably, and the country was also given to Emperor Jiaqing.

Over the years, it would be false to say that you are not worried, what if you can't have children?

I once thought about how good it would be for my parents to give birth to a younger brother. If you really don't have any children, you can pass the throne to your younger brother at that time, and at the same time be able to take your younger brother with you to raise him, so that the emperor will not change too much, and he will be able to stick to what he does.

As a result, his parents gave birth to a younger sister to himself.

Now that he thinks that he may have a child, how can Zhu Houzhao not be excited?

At the same time, he was also worried in his heart, hoping that it would not be fake news.

Looking up at the crown princess, Zhu Houzhao said with some disgust: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" I just said it today. ”

"The concubine is also worried, if not, isn't the movement too big? When the time comes, it will be bad to let the father and queen mother rejoice. The crown princess said with a serious face.

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

In fact, in this day and age, there is no morning sickness to feel pregnant, and it is not so sluggish.

When the crown princess entered the palace, she was even taught how to do things as husband and wife, let alone such a big thing as pregnancy?

It can be said that everything is taught, and there are people watching it every day, and basically there is no situation where you haven't noticed it without menstruation.

It's just that the crown princess has been talking a few days late in the past two days. Even if she doesn't say it, she probably won't be able to hide it. Because the palace maids and grandmothers who are serving around her will definitely report this matter.

The crown princess didn't have a menstrual affair, which is a big deal.

It turned out to be a big deal, because the news spread so quickly that it spread throughout the palace like a gust of wind.

Before the imperial doctor arrived, Empress Zhang arrived first.

Zhu Hou looked at the old mother who walked in in a hurry, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

Looking at the sister who was following behind her mother, her big eyes were grunting around, and she looked very curious, Zhu Houzhao knew that his father was probably coming soon.

Just like the crown princess said, as long as you breathe a little bit, you will make a lot of trouble.

Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Houzhao, her face was full of surprise and expectation, and asked cautiously, "But really?" ”
