Chapter 4 Reading
For other queens, there are many things in the harem, such as managing a large number of women in the emperor, beware of little sluts usurping the throne, preventing them from taking the heir and becoming a demon after having children, and letting them be favored in front of the emperor, but these things do not exist at all in Queen Zhang. The emperor has only one woman, that is, himself, and no other woman can take care of it.
The harem is very stable, and there is no need to beware of other little sluts usurping the throne, and there are no other children to take the heir, so what does Queen Zhang do?
In addition to taking care of Zhu Youzhang, Queen Zhang had all her thoughts on her son Zhu Houzhao, for fear that her son would grow crooked.
Zhu Houzhao is surrounded by countless people, who can pass on news at any time and grasp the direction of his son's growth at any time, although sometimes he will not interfere, but he must know. Zhu Houzhao is playful and doesn't like to study, both Zhu Youzhu and Empress Zhang know these things, but Empress Zhang knows more and Zhu Youzhu knows less, because of the bad things her son did, Empress Zhang rarely talks to Zhu Youzhang.
It's different now, my son is studying, so I naturally have to talk about it well, and when I saw Zhu Youzhu looking over, Queen Zhang said with a smile: "The emperor has also grown up!" ”
Zhu Youzhu nodded: "Yes!" When I grow up and know how to read, this is a good thing, a good thing! As he spoke, his eyes were a little sour.
Zhu Youzhang's childhood was quite unhappy, his biological mother Ji was the daughter of Tusi surnamed Ji in Guangxi, after the rebellion surnamed Ji was quelled, the girl Ji was captured in the palace to manage the emperor's private money.
Once Xianzong passed by occasionally, and when he saw Ji's beauty and intelligence, he stayed overnight. Afterwards, Ji became pregnant. After Wan Guifei, who favored the harem, found out, she ordered the maid of the first palace to have an abortion for the Ji family. Ji's popularity is very good, and the palace people sent can't bear to do it, and when they reported to Concubine Wan, they lied that they had a tumor in their abdomen instead of being pregnant, and Concubine Wan was still not at ease, and ordered Ji's to be relegated to the cold palace.
Ji was in the shadow of Wan Guifei, secretly gave birth to Zhu Youzhu in the cold palace, Wan Guifei learned and sent the eunuch Zhang Min to drown the new prince, but Zhang Min risked his life to help Ji hide the baby secretly and feed it with rice noodles every day. Empress Wu, who was ostracized and abolished by Concubine Wan, also helped to feed the baby. Wan Guifei searched several times, but she couldn't find it, so Zhu Youzhu kept eating hundreds of meals until she was six years old.
One day, when Zhang Min was combing Xianzong's hair, Xianzong sighed and said, "I look like I'm getting old, and I don't have a son yet." Son! Zhang Min hurriedly said: "Long live already has a son." ”
Xianzong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked what was going on, and Zhang Min told the truth. Emperor Xianzong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered to pick up the prince.
When Emperor Xianzong saw his thin son for the first time because of long-term solitary confinement, his hair had not been cut and dragged to the ground, he couldn't help but burst into tears and sighed with emotion.
On the same day, gather all the ministers and tell the truth. The next day, an edict was issued to the world, and Zhu Youzhu was appointed as the crown prince, and Ji was named the concubine. But then the Ji family died violently in the palace, and the door supervisor Zhang Min also committed suicide by swallowing gold. Obviously, the deaths of Concubine Ji and Zhang Min are directly related to the persecution of Concubine Wan. Xianzong's mother, Empress Dowager Zhou, was worried that Concubine Wan Guifei would poison the prince, so she personally raised her grandson in her Renshou Palace so that the prince could live safely in the palace.
Zhu Youjiao, who has such a childhood, naturally can't talk about any happiness, and the shadow of his childhood is almost the same, so he only marries Queen Zhang, and at the same time gives Zhu Houzhao paternal love as much as possible.
Originally, Zhu Houzhao had fun and didn't like to study, and Zhu Youzhao was not in a hurry, after all, Zhu Houzhao was only ten years old, and Zhu Youzhao's body was not as good as day by day in history, and he died when Zhu Houzhao was fifteen years old. However, although he doesn't read much, Zhu Houzhao is definitely not what he says in history, he is an emperor who has been smeared a lot.
Seeing that Zhu Youzhu was happy, Empress Zhang smiled and took Zhu Youzhang's hand: "The emperor has grown up, Your Majesty should be happy." ”
"I'm happy, I'm happy!" Zhu Youzhu nodded and said, looking at Queen Zhang, looking at the queen under the lamp, the more she looked, the more moving she became.
Xianyang Palace.
Liu Jin cautiously came to Zhu Houzhao's side, replaced the tea that had been cold, brought a cup of warm and delicious tea, and then cut the wick of the oil lamp short, picked up the wick a little, and then walked to Zhu Houzhao's side and said: "Your Highness, it's already three o'clock, it's time to rest!" “
What is the hour?
Zhu Houzhao calculated, it was almost ten o'clock in the future, but he didn't expect that he would read the book so late, put down the book in his hand, stood up and stretched his waist, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Okay, then rest!" Saying that, he stood up and walked indoors, going to bed early and getting up early to be in good health, although he was not very sleepy, but Zhu Houzhao was also ready to rest on time.
The night was calm at the palace.
Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao got up very early, finished washing under Gu Dayong's service, and then went outside to exercise.
The eunuchs in the palace are also on duty, according to later generations, they are scheduled to be on duty, and not all of them are served alone, for example, it is Gu Dayong who is now serving Zhu Houzhao. Compared with the thin Liu Jin, Gu Dayong is slightly stronger. The whole person also gives people a sense of honesty, but Zhu Houzhao knows that this kind of honesty must be fake.
Who are you? The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the only son of the emperor today, can be sent to his side as a eunuch, will have a simple role?
Or will the eunuch who can get this position have a simple role? Whether it is in the old eunuch or in terms of dealing with people, it is a top person, otherwise you will never get this position.
Zhu Houzhao is noncommittal about this, many things are like this, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and the emperor can't break some rules, and the little eunuch standing behind him must be the big eunuch next to his father, which is the way of inheritance in the palace. As for loyalty or something, Zhu Houzhao doesn't doubt it, eunuchs can doubt anything, but loyalty doesn't need to, but who this loyalty is for, you have to think about it.
"Did you find the place you were looking for?" Zhu Houzhao moved his body and asked Gu Dayong without looking back.
"Back to Your Highness, I found it!" Gu Dayong hurriedly said: "There is a garden at the back of Xianyang Palace, where the size of the land is suitable. “
Garden?
Zhu Hou glanced at Gu Dayong and frowned: "Is there no other place besides there?" ”
Eradicate the garden and build a martial arts arena for yourself, I'm afraid that if you say it, you will be impeached, and the ghost knows what reputation it will leave behind, and it may not be how to arrange yourself when it spreads outside. In history, Zhu Houzhao built a leopard house, and what was the result of the arrangement.
