Chapter 955: The Journey Plan
Zhang Yuan was beaten, and it seemed that there was no trace, but he was to blame, which was also the result of him feeling that he had gained the trust of the emperor's family and began to be presumptuous. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a kind of wake-up call for him, and it will be beneficial for him to do things by Zhu Houzhao's side in the future.
But for Zhu Houzhao, beating Zhang Yuan was completely his "improvisation".
Although Zhu Houzhao was tired of Zhang Yuan, it was not to the point of bitterness and hatred, he wanted to beat Zhang Yuan, firstly, because Zhang Yuan scared him and made him feel angry; Second, and the more critical reason is that Zhu Houzhao figured it out, if he wants to leave the palace, he must first beat Zhang Yuan, who is always staring at him, and there is one less person who pays attention to him anytime and anywhere, otherwise he will not have a chance to get out of the palace gate.
"Let you keep an eye on me for my mother, this is the end you deserve, and if you come back to bother me in the future, I will beat you. Hum! Zhu Houzhao listened to the screams from Zhang Yuan outside, and he was full of words.
Zhu Houzhao asked Zhang Yuan to be beaten, and Zhang Yuan hid in his room for several days to recuperate, and Queen Zhang didn't ask about it.
In the eyes of Empress Zhang, even if Zhang Yuan is valued, there is no basic righteousness of master and servant for such a eunuch, even if Zhang Yuan is killed, Empress Zhang will not reprimand her son.
In Empress Zhang's view, the palace maids and eunuchs were supposed to be responsible and suffer for their masters.
Zhu Houzhao wrote the letter he was going to send to Shen Xi, but he didn't know where to send it, so he could only hope that Jin Gui would enter the palace as soon as possible, in addition to borrowing money from Jin Gui as a pester, on the other hand, he asked Jin Gui to send the letter out for him, and informed Shen Xi to get ready, he was going to Guangzhou Mansion.
"I don't know where Guangdong is? As long as you leave the capital, it must be fun on the road, you can buy some delicious food, I want to taste all the food in the world, drink him drunk, say that there may not be adventures to write about martial arts, just like Duan Yu and Xuzhu monk in the book......"
Zhu Houzhao looked forward to a better life on the way south.
The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, Zhu Houzhao waited for five days, and finally arrived on the day when Jin Gui took turns to speak, but it was not Jin Gui who came on this day, but Liang Chu, Zhu Houzhao only knew that Jin Gui was sick, and he was on sick leave these days, and it might take ten days and half a month to come to teach.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, now that the cold winter has passed, after the middle of the month, you will go to the Wenhua Palace to speak on the second day." Liang Chu reminded.
Zhu Houzhao was a little distracted, and muttered, "How could it be so coincidental? ”
Prince Liang was inexplicable: "Prince, what did you say?" ”
"Mr. Liang, you didn't fool me, did you? Didn't Mr. Jin come here last time, why did he get sick in a blink of an eye, he wouldn't be avoiding me, right? ”
Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry.
Now he is no longer as trivial as he was two or three years ago, and now his head has been enlightened, and he can see that Jin Gui is not coming, it is deliberately avoiding, not really sick.
Liang Chu Zhengse said: "Don't be like this, the minister personally visited Jin Yude, and there is no doubt that he is ill now." If the prince has any doubts about Jin Yude's lesson, he can just ask the ministers. ”
Nowadays, the Donggong lecture class is facing the problem of replacing the old with the new.
Zhan Shi Zhan Wu Kuan is now nearly seventy years old, plus after the 12th year of Hongzhi's Ministry of Rites will test the case, Wu Kuan lost the trust of Zhu Youji, which made Wu Kuan's status plummet, and now Liang Chu, a bachelor of Hanlin, is the foreman of the East Palace, and the schoolwork about the prince is arranged by Liang Chu, and even the East Palace lecturer Jin Gui is sick, and Liang Chu personally visits is also a manifestation of his responsibility.
Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "I...... There's nothing more to ask, Mr. Liang, did you bring any silver? ”
Liang Chu was a little confused by the second monk, he immediately remembered that Zhu Houzhao peddled royal things to him more than a year ago, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed at this time, and said: "Your Highness, the husband is mediocre with wealth, as the crown prince, you will be the honor of the Ninety-Five in the future, and you should rule the people with knowledge, and it is easy to say that it is not profitable." ”
Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly: "I just asked if you brought any silver, but you said that I was mediocre, I don't understand, don't you spend silver on weekdays?" Your Mr. Liang has grown up since he was a child, and he doesn't have a penny, and he can't eat the fireworks in the world? ”
Liang Chu was dumbfounded by the question.
In this world, there seems to be no one else except the royal family, but the royal family does not spend a penny, but there are special people to do it for the procurement and use. Liang Chu rarely went to buy things in person, but he occasionally brought some silver with him in case of emergency.
"What the prince said is very true, Weichen is just a vulgar person, but I hope that the prince can be an elegant person in the future!" Saying this, Liang Chu had some meaning of raising the bar.
As the crown prince, you call your husband a layman, I admit it, but you don't want to get silver from me, because I will not condone you to have such a mundane thing as silver on the body of a future son of heaven.
Zhu Houzhao was depressed because there was no one to borrow money, so he could only sit down and listen to Liang Chu's lecture. But in order to show his displeasure, he decided to sleep heavily in Liang Chu's class......
Didn't you, Mr. Liang, say that you want to train this prince to be an elegant and noble person? I won't give you a chance to train me, I'll play chess with Zhou Gong!
In this regard, Liang Chu has nothing to do.
When you are a gentleman in the world, you all go to class with a ruler, and you can punish students at any time, but the student in front of Liang Chu is the prince, not to mention beating, and even scolding, and this bear child likes to be naughty and mischievous, and it is polite to sleep in class, and it is common to skip class and tease Mr.
Even if his emperor's father knew, he only said bitterly to the officials of the East Palace that he hoped that they could discipline the prince well, saying that it was discipline, but he could only teach and not manage, and something would happen.
You can't beat and scold, and you still want the bear child to learn well, so you can only wait for the bear child's conscience to find out, but is this possible?
……
……
Zhu Houzhao waited for a few days, but he didn't wait for the news of Jin Gui's recovery, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Out of the extreme desire to get out of the palace, the bear child couldn't help but start thinking about how to make money, but the silver couldn't be changed out of thin air, so he hit the idea of an "unlucky ghost" around him, that is, Zhang Yuan, who had just been beaten by him and had not yet healed.
“…… Father-in-law Zhang, you said that you have a lot of money on weekdays, and the palace is in urgent need, can you lend a few taels of silver to the palace? ”
Zhu Houzhao has a request for help at this time, although he is Zhang Yuan's master, but he doesn't know where Zhang Yuan's silver is hidden, so he can only talk to Zhang Yuan in a consultative tone.
Zhang Yuan can only sleep on his stomach these days, and it is the season when the spring flowers bloom and the wound is easy to become inflamed, and seeing the prince is like seeing a disaster.
Although Zhang Yuan can't be called an iron rooster, the only thing he can trust as a eunuch is silver, and of course he won't hand over the silver to the prince who has just beaten him.
"Your Highness, what do you want for the silver? Slaves and maids only want to have enough to eat every day, but now they are sick and have difficulty moving, so they can only eat a full meal and be hungry, where does the silver come from? Zhang Yuan looked aggrieved and innocent.
Zhu Houzhao was furious: "Don't give it, okay, I'll ask someone to beat you again, and I'll beat you to death directly." The master needs to use the silver, and you, as a slave, dare to conceal it and not report it, which is obviously disloyal, unjust, unkind and unfilial, what is the use of such scumbags to keep it? ”
For Zhang Yuan, the method of moving with emotion and understanding with reason has no effect at all, and only intimidation can force Zhang Yuan to comply.
Zhang Yuan knew that he was not even as good as a dog in the eyes of the prince, and it was too easy to kill him...... The little life is gone, what is the use of asking for silver?
Zhang Yuan hurriedly struggled to get up from the bed, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Highness spare your life, the slave and maid have silver, so hide it under the bed!" ”
"I said it earlier, I've been talking nonsense with you for so long."
Zhu Houzhao went directly under the bed, and quickly coughed and came out from below.
Zhang Yuan himself belongs to the existence of serving people, but Zhang Yuan himself does not pay much attention to hygiene, so that there are stinky clothes and shoes and socks under the bed.
Zhu Houzhao pinched his nose and got into it again, and finally took out a money bag that Zhang Yuan hid under the bed, to Zhu Houzhao's disappointment, there were only more than one or two pieces of silver in it, and some copper plates, but Zhu Houzhao did not dislike it, and even put the money bag into his arms, and said, "Thank you in advance, this palace will reward you a lot when you turn around." ”
Zhang Yuan's face was bitter, and the emotional reward was to reward me for being beaten?
Zhang Yuan was about to ask the prince what he wanted the silver for? At this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't even have the interest of staying in his room, and jumped out of the door.
When they walked away, Zhang Yuan realized that he had lost his ass and broken silver, and he wanted to cry without tears, but he was secretly glad in his heart: "Fortunately, I hid all the silver, and there was only a little scattered silver under the bed that was used as a 'blinding method'...... I have to leave it to my wife and children, so that they can use the money I earn to live a good life, but I wonder if the Hou Ye treats my wife poorly? ”
Zhu Houzhao took it back, roughly calculated, and had more than one or two or five dollars of silver on hand, which was far from enough money for him to go from the capital to Guangzhou Mansion.
But he didn't have a specific idea, thinking that maybe he could find someone to ask for some on the way. As long as the identity of this palace is revealed, who dares not to give silver?
With the "start-up capital", Zhu Houzhao was finally ready to go on the road, and he told his detailed plan to the little twister who was ready to go on the road with him.
After listening to this, the little twister collapsed to the ground in fright, and his little face was pale.
Zhu Houzhao scolded: "Look at your unproductive appearance, just go to Guangdong with the palace, and it's not far, just take care of you more on the way." Hey, don't you save some money on weekdays? ”
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao aimed his "clutches" at the poor little twister.
Other little eunuchs may have no idea how far Guangdong is, but the little twister once followed Shen Xi and Liu Jin to Quanzhou Mansion, and the road was far away from the mountains and rivers, almost making him tired to death on the road, he knew that Guangdong was farther away than Quanzhou Mansion.
Xiao Twister said: "Prince, the slave is reluctant to spend two taels of silver, you just have to take it, but the slave doesn't want to go to Guangdong with you, ......it's too far away."
Xiao Twister is a sincere person, he doesn't dare to offend the prince, his little scattered silver has basically been deducted by the eunuch in charge, and he has only accumulated more than two taels of silver in a few years, and he is willing to contribute all at this time, in exchange for not traveling far with the prince.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Two taels of silver, plus my one tael, that's almost enough." Bring the silver, you have to go to Guangdong, I don't know the way, we happen to be companions on the road. Hey. ”
The little twister was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
Zhu Houzhao went to the eunuch's bedroom with Xiao Xuanzi to take out the silver at the bottom of the box of Xiao Xuanzi, and after he went back, he made a detailed plan to go south out of the palace, which was also taught to him by Shen Xi, you must do things reasonably, you must have a plan first, but you must also remember that the plan does not change quickly.
Sure enough, the changes came faster than he expected!
The next day, Empress Zhang came to the East Palace in a huff, searched out the more than three taels of silver that Zhu Houzhao hid under the pillow, and then asked people to pull out all the eunuchs in the East Palace and beat them in a row.
Listening to the rows of screams, Zhu Houzhao secretly panicked: "No, I didn't tell anyone, how could the queen mother know?" No, there must be a mole! (To be continued.) )
