Forbidden City, the dormitory of the Qianqing Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhu Youji's body gradually recovered, and his whole spirit improved a lot, which is related to the recent victories of the imperial court soldiers and horses in battles with the Tatars.

Shen Xi led the troops back to the capital to help the capital, relieved the siege of the Beijing Division, especially in Xizhimen and Zhengyangmen fought two hearty victories, inspiring the hearts of the army and the people, the Tatars had to withdraw in embarrassment, and then the Ming army successfully recovered the Bauhinia Pass, the Tatar soldiers and horses retreated northward, and the Ming Dynasty finally washed away the shame.

Zhu Youzhu was lying on the back of the dragon couch, and Empress Zhang was holding the medicine bowl and serving her husband with medicine.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "Queen, don't worry, don't you see that my body is much better these days?" ”

Empress Zhang said with relief: "Yes, Your Majesty, seeing that your body is getting better day by day, don't mention how happy the concubines are!" ”

Xiao Jing, who was serving on the side, looked at the couple who respected each other like guests, with a relieved smile on his face, but unfortunately before the couple could say a few words of confidant, the master of ceremonies sent a notebook.

Xiao Jing heard the news and immediately left the dormitory, stood by the door and shouted: "There are no rules, Your Majesty's dragon body is getting better day by day, the most important thing now is to recuperate, what big things need to come over and disturb?" ”

When Xiao Jing retired the eunuch on duty and re-entered, Zhu Youzhu asked curiously, "Father-in-law Xiao, is there an urgent military business outside?" ”

Xiao Jing hesitated and said, "No...... It's not a big deal, I'll send it to the cabinet first, and let the cabinet give a vote first! Your Majesty's dragon body is important, at this time you should recuperate quietly, recently the nine sides of the heavy land are basically peaceful, the Tartars are desperate to flee for their lives, where do you dare to fight against Liu Shangshu's soldiers and horses? It's about to escape from Zhangjiakou Fort! ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded happily, turned to Empress Zhang and said, "Empress, do you know? The war of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a victory! ”

For Emperor Hongzhi, his soldiers won on the battlefield and kept the Ming Dynasty, which is still quite gratifying, and now he can tell his wife what he is happy about, and he can also have a good time in front of his wife.

Although Empress Zhang responded with a smile, it was obvious that Empress Zhang's smile was perfunctory.

As a husband who has been with him for many years, Zhu Youzhu immediately noticed a small change in his wife's mood and asked, "Queen, what's wrong with you?" Aren't you happy for me? ”

Empress Zhang sighed lightly: "Your Majesty, there are many things...... The concubine doesn't want to say it! After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jing, who was standing respectfully on the side.

Xiao Jing was very sensible and was about to retreat, but Zhu Youzhu stopped him: "The queen can say anything outright, Gonggong Xiao is her own person, there is no need to avoid him in many things!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Empress Zhang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, during the time you are sick, you have decided to decide on the affairs of the court by the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately, there are Young Master Liu, Scholar Li, Elder Xie Ge and Gonggong Xiao to assist me...... At the critical juncture when the Jingshi was trapped, my illness kept repeating, so much so that I couldn't ask about many emergency military situations, and I really had a guilty conscience! However, the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, as well as the six ministries and the five military governors' mansions, did a good job, and finally kept the capital! ”

Empress Zhang asked: "Then Your Majesty does you know that in the previous battle of Xizhimen, if there was no emperor to personally lead the troops to kill the enemy, maybe Xizhimen would have been lost?" ”

Zhu Youzhu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "The matter of the prince personally going to Xizhimen, I have already listened to Xie Ge Lao and the prince in person!" On that day, the situation of Xizhimen was extremely dangerous, and the prince saw that the city wall was not protected, and at a critical juncture, he personally led the Imperial Forest Army into battle to kill the enemy, and finally won a big victory...... As the prince of a country, it is related to the continuation of the Ming Dynasty, but it still seems too reckless! ”

Empress Zhang bowed slightly, obviously she also agreed with her husband's reckless behavior, and she said: "Then can the emperor know that if Shen Xi does not bring troops back to help, Xizhimen and Zhengyangmen will be lost?" Although the prince was able to save the capital for a while, but the Tartar offensive was endless, if it weren't for the invincibility of Shen Xi's troops, the defeat of the Tartar troops in the field, and the defeat of the Tartar soldiers and horses from the flank at the most dangerous juncture, maybe the capital would have fallen? ”

Which pot is not opened and which pot is not opened!

The last thing Zhu Youzhu wanted to mention was that the capital was in distress twice, because he didn't want to highlight Shen Xi's merits too prominently, and he always believed that the things played by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were reasonable, and if you want to talk about merit, you should start with the border army, so as to maintain the stability of the court.

Zhu Youzhu straightened his face and asked solemnly, "Empress, what do you want to say?" ”

Having said this, if you retreat again, it will seem that there is a ghost in your heart, Empress Zhang no longer concealed her thoughts, and met the gaze of Emperor Hongzhi, and said:

"Your Majesty, you have a lot of trust in the cabinet and the celebrant eunuch, but the concubine heard that in this battle, Liu Shaofu and others were bent on setting up the celebrant eunuch, and even after the emperor was appointed as the prince of the prison country, all power was still emptied, and all the big and small decrees were decided by Liu Shaofu alone."

"If the decision is made properly, it should naturally be praised, but in fact, in the use of troops, Liu Shaofu was timid, suppressed by the Tatars everywhere, and in the end, it almost caused the tragedy of the fall of the Beijing Division. The emperor fought on the front line of the city gate several times, stabilized the morale of the army, boosted morale, and made great achievements, but was accused by Liu Shaofu for no reason. Liu Shaofu did this, he really had the heart to transgress! ”

Zhu Houzhao founded the country as the crown prince, and led the overall situation, and the happiest person was Queen Zhang, whose son finally grew up and could come out to take on the big responsibility.

Liu Jian vacated Zhu Houzhao's position as the prisoner of the country, and the most dissatisfied was naturally Empress Zhang, my son is the prince, what are you Liu Jian's old man, you dare to deprive my son of power?

As a mother who protects calves, Empress Zhang has been holding this breath in her heart, but the safety of Daming is completely tied to Liu Jianjian, Empress Zhang can only force herself to be a ninja not to attack, and even the prince confided in her about the unfair treatment she received, she also persuaded her son, in order to think about the overall situation.

Now that the war has eased, her husband's condition is getting better and better, and he can handle the government, she immediately sued in front of her husband, wanting to seek justice for her son.

Zhu Youzhi has always been on the sickbed, and the things he knows are all the following recitals, as well as Xiao Jing's retelling.

Xiao Jing is a standard good man in the court, and he never rushes with anyone, even if he knows that Liu Jian is emptying Zhu Houzhao's power, but he doesn't say to Zhu Youji, for fear of destroying the good relationship between the emperor and the first minister, but the paper has never been able to contain the fire, and now Empress Zhang took the initiative to come out to make trouble, so she naturally pierced the layer of window paper.

Xiao Jing can also understand this, Empress Zhang thinks that Zhu Houzhao has performed very well in this war, and is no longer a bear child who has nothing to do in the eyes of those ministers, and at the same time suppresses the arrogance of the cabinet, so that the courtiers know who the Ming Dynasty is.

When Zhu Youzhu heard his wife's words, he didn't listen to it partially, and even had some displeasure, after all, Empress Zhang's behavior was already considered to be a political interference. He didn't express his position immediately, but turned his head sideways and asked Xiao Jing, who was stunned on the side: "Father-in-law Xiao, the cabinet's attitude towards the crown prince and the country, is it as the queen said?" ”

Xiao Jing really didn't know how to answer, and his words flickered: "Your Majesty, this ...... Old Slave ...... The old slave doesn't know where to start......"

Seeing that Xiao Jing did not deny it outright, Zhu Youzhu had a trace of doubt, and stared at Xiao Jing with wide eyes: "What is the truth, what do you say...... You just have to say what the queen said, is it true? ”

Xiao Jing knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, it is true that Young Master Liu did not obey any military and political orders issued by the crown prince, but there is a reason for it......"

"Smack!"

Zhu Youzhu didn't want to listen to Xiao Jing's explanation, so he directly overturned the medicine bowl that Empress Zhang had sent to his mouth, and said angrily, "The crown prince is the prison appointed by me personally, and he is also the crown prince, and Young Master Liu is a courtier, don't you know which is more important?" Also, what are you used to do as a celebrant and eunuch? Furnishings? ”

Xiao Jing knew that he had angered the emperor, so he continued to kowtow heavily and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the old slave is at fault, but the prince really doesn't want to lead the troops out of the city all the time!" Young Master Liu repeatedly advised the prince, but the prince just didn't listen, so Young Master Liu ...... Make your own decisions! ”

Hearing this, most of the anger in Zhu Youji's heart suddenly disappeared, the key is that Zhu Youzhu is full of respect for Mr. Liu Jian, and now Xiao Jing has pointed the problem to the point, and Zhu Youzhu is also against sending troops without authorization, so naturally he is not so surprised!
