There is nothing going on in the court, everything is going on step by step, and Zhu Houzhao is idle, because there is really nothing worthy of his participation, when he has nothing to do, go out for a walk, go to see the new firearms made by the War Bureau, or accompany his crown princess in the palace, and live a leisurely and comfortable life.

Since crossing over, this should be Zhu Houzhao's most relaxed day, not only physically but also psychologically.

The time came to March in a flash, and the days were good, but bad news came from the palace, and the Empress Dowager was critically ill.

In the Ming Dynasty, the status of the Empress Dowager was too high, her illness involved many people's minds, Dad found all the doctors, but still could not prevent the death of the Empress Dowager, after half a month in bed, the Empress Dowager Zhou died. Zhu Youzhu mourned for him, the palace was plain, and entertainment was banned in the capital for a month.

There were also some discordant voices in the court, such as the father wanted to bury the Empress Dowager Zhou with filial piety, Su Zhenshun, Kang Yiguanglie, and Empress Shengrui of Tiancheng and Shengrui.

However, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, only the queen can be the emperor and the temple, and the successor and the emperor's biological mother are not the emperor, and do not worship the temple. University scholars Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang discussed (after all, the Empress Dowager Zhou was a noble concubine during her lifetime, and she was divided into concubines), and my father did not argue with the ministers on this matter, and followed the ministers' statements.

Taihang Empress Dowager Zhou is not enshrined in the Fengci Palace, not the temple, remove the emperor (that is, the Ming Yingzong is called the Rui Emperor Rui word), still called the Empress Dowager, the name of filial piety, Zhenshun Kang Yiguang Lie Fu Tiancheng Holy Empress Dowager.

There is one thing that the father did not back down, that is, the joint burial of Yuling, since the Empress Dowager Zhou, the biological mother of the heir was also able to be buried with the emperor.

These things are all Zhu Youzhang is worried about, what is Zhu Houzhao worried about? He is in mathematics and national politics, although he has a reputation as a prisoner, but he is also doing things these days. The whole Ming Dynasty was in a state of silence, everyone tried their best to keep a low profile, and no one wanted to show their heads at this time.

However, the unlucky days of the Ming Dynasty seem to have come, and in April, the Ningxia earthquake knocked down the city wall. Earthquakes in Hangzhou, Jia, Shao and Ningbo. Then, Nanjing and Su, Song, Chang, Zhen, Huai, Yang, Ningqifu, Tong, and Erzhou were earthquaked on the same day. Shanxi Pu, Xie Erzhou, Jiangxi, Xia, Pinglu, Ronghe, Wenxi, Ruicheng, Yishi seven counties earthquake.

This earthquake directly shook Daming from top to bottom, what is the situation?

Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the places where the empire depends on its wealth, and Nanjing is one of the capitals of the empire, and there was an earthquake at the same time in this year, and many people stood up and said that this was a bad omen, and asked His Majesty to cultivate virtue and politics, meet and pay taxes, and even from this time on, some people also put forward some twists and turns against reform, but all of them were thrown into the garbage heap by Zhu Houzhao.

Only Zhu Houzhao knew that the Xiaoice River period was coming, and the earth began to be unstable, and various disasters would follow one after another in the future.

Cooling is only the most basic manifestation, drought, floods, earthquakes, these geological disasters will continue to intrude, will continue to make the life of the Ming Dynasty difficult, or let the people of the world have a hard time. Why at this time Europe broke out a large-scale global voyage, because they are also not having a good time and need the support of overseas resources.

"Your Highness, Hanlin editor Tang Bohu asks to see you." Liu Jin also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a bad mood these days, so he was cautious when he spoke, and he peeked at Zhu Houzhao, for fear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would lose his temper.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, Tang Bohu is here? The imperial examination has long ended, and this is also a big event, but there are too many big things in the imperial court during this period of time, and the imperial examination is held once every three years, and everyone can't take care of it. The results of the exam Zhu Houzhao knew that Tang Bohu also did well in the exam this time, and he directly hit the list, you must know that Tang Bohu was the first place in the Suzhou Prefecture Examination in the examination, entered the Fuxue School, and was the first in the Zhongnan Zhili Township Examination (Xie Yuan).

Nan Zhili's Xie Yuan is very difficult to test, as for not taking the exam last time, in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, there is something greasy in it.

There must have been a matter of bribery, but it was later leaked, and the officials were afraid that they would be implicated, so they simply disposed of Tang Bohu. Otherwise, how could Xie Yuan, who was in Nanzhili, not even get into the top three? This time, Tang Bohu finally raised his eyebrows in the imperial examination, which can be regarded as proving his strength, and was handpicked by his father as the first and second in the first class, that is, the list eye.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the champion was compiled by Hanlin, the role model and tanhua were edited by Hanlin Academy, and the top few in the second class were Jishi of Hanlin Academy.

This year's Shu Jishi chose a lot, among which there is a very famous person, everyone knows that this person is the famous Yan Song. After seeing Yan Song's name, Zhu Houzhao was stunned, he really didn't remember when Yan Song made his career, but he didn't expect Yan Song to be a Jishi this year.

"Let him in!" Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said, Tang Bohu has been a friend for a long time, and he has paid a lot of money, but this is the first time he has met in private.

It didn't take long for Tang Bohu to walk in from outside, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at the famous Tang Yin Tang Bohu, who was in his thirties, with a tall posture and bright eyes, and the whole person looked very energetic. Thirty-five-year-old Tang Bohu has already been a waste of half his life, the average life expectancy in this era is not high, Tang Bohu is only a jinshi at this age, although he does not say that he is a late bloomer, but compared to those geniuses, it is worse after all.

But fortunately, it has been done, it will not be wasted for a lifetime like in the previous life, and a good meal is not afraid of being late, and it is good to be like this now.

"Chen Hanlin edited Tang Yin, see His Royal Highness." After Tang Bohu walked into the main hall, he directly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and made a big salute to Zhu Houzhao. This gift is not only because of Zhu Houzhao's status as the prince, but also because of his gratitude to Zhu Houzhao, Tang Bohu's heart is very clear about the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince, whom he has never met.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, get up!" When Tang Bohu stood up, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I have long wanted to come over to talk to you, but there are too many things in the court during this time, and they are all delayed." ”

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's casual words, Tang Bohu suddenly felt warm in his heart, and the so-called grace of knowing was like this.

"The minister has long wanted to come to see His Highness, but there are many things in the court, and the minister does not dare to disturb, but now that there are fewer things, the minister came over as soon as possible." Tang Bohu hurriedly bowed down and said, his expression was slightly excited, and his tone was a little trembling.
