"I remember that I have to go with your mother to visit the Empress Dowager, so don't move around here for now, and sift through these notes for me, and bring you a few tangerines when I come back." Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu walked out with his hands behind his back and his head held high.

Zhu Hou looked at the back of his father, Emperor Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's too difficult to be a prince!" ”

Forget it, let's take a look at these notes! Zhu Houzhao began to pick up these notes, although he did not have the right to correct them, but he could read them.

Zhu Houzhao opened the first letter, and sure enough, the choice of Emperor Zhu Youzhu of Hongzhi was correct. Some of the notes are really nonsense, just like the notes handed over by a certain prefect, which is simply nonsense.

At the beginning, it was a minister, and those who didn't know thought he had something important to report, so he wrote it so meticulously and rigorously.

Zhu Houzhao continued to read, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, a song to greet his father Zhu Youzhu actually wrote so fresh and rigorous, it is really no one.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said, "It's really difficult to be an emperor, and it's even more difficult to be a good-natured emperor like my father!" ”

After a whole noon, Zhu Houzhao finally sorted out and screened these notes, so that the Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu could indeed greatly speed up the efficiency when he came to review again.

Zhu Houzhao was finally relieved, so he had to prepare some things, and he was going to go to the city to meet Yang Qingling with Yangzhou. Of course, the most important thing is to get the new crops brought by the Franc man. And it's best for them to return with a full load, so that Zhu Houzhao can have more test products.

You must know that it is not easy to experiment with a crop in person, not to mention that for Zhu Houzhao, he is not good at farming.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao quietly set off. Of course, this time he did not plan to stop in Yangzhou, but waited for the return from Guangzhou City to Yangzhou on the way back.

Zhu Hou rushed to Guangzhou City, and after about three days, the journey was halfway through! Zhu Houzhao didn't have time to stop and look at the scenery of early spring in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was another two days, and I finally arrived at Guangzhou City, and there was still one day before the agreed time. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry, he went shopping for a day and came to the city early the next morning, and he waited for the arrival of the Franc machine ship.

The sea is vast, and there are many boats parked on the pier.

Zhu Houzhao found the steward of the city and asked him to see if the Franc machine had come.

"Your Highness, they arrived yesterday!" The eunuch in charge of the city's Bosi said.

"Invite that Franc machine man over, I don't know if they brought the things that this palace wanted?" Zhu Houzhao took a sip of tea and said slowly.

After a while, the two Francophiles came.

"How? Did you bring something? Zhu Houzhao asked, and then the translator on the side translated for them.

"Your Highness, they said they brought it! Not only corn and potatoes, but also a condiment called chili pepper, which is spicy! ”

"Oh, spicy?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly became interested, because the spicy things seemed to have a dogwood, and now there is one more kind, and naturally the more the better.

"Then let's go inspect the goods!" Zhu Houzhao said.

Under the translator's translation, Zhu Houzhao got on the ship of the Franc machine, and Zhu Houzhao saw the corn. Corn is yellow, and one word is lip service. This potato looks ordinary, but is this pepper? Zhu Houzhao picked it up carefully, looking like a wolf's tooth, red.

Zhu Houzhao took a bite, quickly spit it out and said, "It's so spicy, it's so spicy!" ”

"Sure enough, it's a good thing! You boys are going to do it! Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.

Everything went well, and Zhu Houzhao got all the crops smoothly. Corn, potatoes, and peppers were all loaded with it, and the Francophile gave Zhu Houzhao a very valuable manuscript of Columbus's Voyage Diary.

Zhu Houzhao happily accepted it, he had always been very interested in this kind of adventure, because this Francis mentioned it. This navigator named Columbus is just like Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty, he is a great navigator.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao is happy to find out.

Returning with a full load, Zhu Houzhao traveled smoothly this time. He had some of the goods carried directly to the palace via the post station. Naturally, he wanted to go to Yangzhou to meet Yang Qingling.

The lonely empty court is late in spring, how can a good day be a good person, love is like a soft water person is like a dream, and you can't only think of you at night. Zhu Houzhao naturally couldn't bear the itchy loneliness in his heart, and hurried to Yangzhou.

As soon as he arrived in Yangzhou, Zhu Houzhao immediately tried to let Yang Qingling come out, and they met each other! Zhu Houzhao lingered near the front of Yang Qingling's house for a long time, but he was a little hesitant.

Just when Zhu Houzhao hesitated, he saw a little eunuch walking in his direction by the prefect of Yangzhou not far away, could it be that he was exposed? Wouldn't it be bad if the Yangzhou prefect came, so that the good things of the palace would not be ruined?

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly hid in the corner, and soon the Yangzhou prefect and the eunuch came to the door of Yang's house and shouted, "Let your master come out, the holy decree, let him come out to receive the decree!" ”

"Huh? Divine decree? Zhu Houzhao was a little confused, "Wait, holy decree? Isn't it the will of my father? So, what is the father going to do? It can't be a direct marriage, right? ”

"Sir, sir! Outside, the prefect of Yangzhou came, saying that it was a holy decree! "The doorkeeper is human.

"Divine decree? What crime has my Yang family committed? "The head of the Yang family is very puzzled, he counted it carefully! In fact, otherwise, the daughter of their family has committed the unforgivable sin of stealing the prince's true heart in the Da Ming law, and according to the Da Ming law, she should be immediately arrested into the palace and quickly marry the prince and give birth to the emperor and grandson as soon as possible, which shows the seriousness of the matter.

After about half a cup of tea, the head of the Yang family and the Yang family came out.

"My lord, dare to ask His Majesty's will?" The head of the Yang family is very confused, even if he dies, he must die to understand.

"Yang Yuanwai congratulations, Ling Yuan is really blessed, you really gave birth to a good girl!" The prefect of Yangzhou said, "Let's announce the decree!" ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said: I heard that the Yang family has a daughter, named Qingling, fourteen years old, dignified conduct, talent and appearance. I heard that the prince once fell in love with Yang Qingling, the daughter of the Yang family, at first sight, so this good fate was fulfilled! However, the matter is urgent, and Yang Qingling, the daughter of the Yang family, needs to enter the palace for a physical examination, and when the body is verified, I and the queen choose an auspicious day, and the prince will perform the gift of Zhou Gong and become a good match! Chin this! The little eunuch said, "Yang Yuanwai will take the order!" ”

The Yang family was stunned, and Yang Qingling was also stunned, when did he know the prince? At this moment, Zhu Houzhao felt that he couldn't hide what he was hiding, since his father was so sensible, the palace naturally wanted to show up and say the truth. Otherwise, how bad is it for the beloved of this palace to still be kept in the dark?

Zhu Houzhao stepped forward, and the prefect of Yangzhou and the little eunuch saw Zhu Houzhao who came over and hurriedly saluted, "The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Excuse me!" Zhu Houzhao walked straight up to Yang Qingling and said, "What's the matter, I said I'll marry you when I say goodbye!" Will you accept this will to give marriage? ”

"The people's girl Yang Qingling took the order! Thank you for your grace! Yang Qingling's originally melancholy face suddenly smiled, and then immediately got up and hugged Zhu Houzhao after the head of the Yang family received the holy decree.

Zhu Houzhao didn't react immediately. But it doesn't matter, it feels good to hold a beauty!

"How's it going, are you happy?" Zhu Houzhao gently rubbed Yang Qingling's nose with his fingers and said.

"Why are you hiding it from me?"

Seeing this, everyone left with great interest, leaving only Zhu Houzhao and Yang Qingling sitting on the stone bench at the pavilion and chatting about endless topics.
