Zhu Houzhao had already made all the plans to leave the palace, and was about to put them into practice, when Empress Zhang suddenly arrived, breaking Zhu Houzhao's dream, the silver was confiscated, and he was grounded, and it was basically impossible to get out of the palace in a short time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Someone must be informing, it's not Mr. Liang, it's Zhang Yuan's dog!" Zhu Houzhao thought about it, only these two people were the most likely to inform.

Thirteen-year-old Zhu Houzhao has learned to analyze problems, he thought about it comprehensively, Liang Chu only knew that he needed silver, and he didn't know what he wanted silver for, plus Liang Chu was unable to communicate with the palace as a speaker in the East Palace, if it was really Liang Chu's informant, it should be his father instead of his mother.

Judging from all aspects, it seems that the person who informed this is only Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan was beaten because of the injury on his buttocks, which was seen by Zhu Houzhao as Queen Zhang because of Zhang Yuan's meritorious informant and deliberately let go.

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself: "Okay, you guy who eats inside and out, I ask myself if I am not thin on you, I dare to cooperate with my mother to calculate me, you wait, when the queen mother leaves, I will have to ask someone to beat you to death!" ”

It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao didn't have time to find someone to fight Zhang Yuan, Zhu Houzhao was called to Kunning Palace, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't go that night, only the mother and son sat down for dinner.

Empress Zhang said: "Emperor, your father has been in poor health recently, and he can't always urge you to do your homework, you must be diligent and self-denying, so that you can be a benevolent monarch in the future, understand?" ”

Zhu Houzhao pouted and said, "Isn't my father the benevolent monarch in other people's mouths?" Isn't that the end up like that? ”

"Which one?" Empress Zhang was furious, and her son actually publicly criticized him in front of him, Emperor Laozi, which was really unseemly.

Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and turned his head to the side.

Empress Zhang saw that her son's rebellious heart was very heavy, as a smart mother, she had just beaten the eunuch of the East Palace, as a small punishment for her son, she didn't want to be too angry with her son, after all, she pinned all her hopes on Zhu Houzhao.

Although there is still one in the belly now, I don't know whether the man is a woman or not, even if it is a boy, it will be far away when he reaches adulthood, as long as the eldest son does not make any mistakes, the husband will definitely not abolish the child.

Empress Zhang's trick is called "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger", she just wants her son to wake up, and at the same time hopes to have a good relationship with her son.

After dinner, Empress Zhang sent someone to send her son back to the East Palace, and did not forget to remind: "Emperor, you must be angry!" ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't even say a word of farewell, left Kunning Palace angrily, and muttered in a low voice after walking away: "I'm already very competitive, okay?" But you always want to control me, and this is not allowed, and it is not allowed, it is like saying that you are in prison in the book...... Hmph, this time I must scare you. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly quickened his pace and ran in the direction of the East Palace.

Originally, Zhang Yuan, who was a regular attendant, could not follow him because of an injury to his buttocks, and those eunuchs who accompanied the prince to Kunning Palace had no experience in personal service, and when they saw that the prince ran away, they hurriedly pulled their legs and chased after them, but they did not have such good legs and feet as Zhu Houzhao, plus Zhu Houzhao was very familiar with the buildings in the palace, and after a few circles, the descendants disappeared.

Several eunuchs searched for a long time, but did not see the prince, so they had to report to Empress Zhang in a hurry.

"The prince is missing!"

When Empress Zhang heard the news, she almost fainted.

After a long while, she had red eyes and felt sorry for herself: "It's all because the palace spoils him too much, isn't it really out of the palace?" Come on, go to the emperor and ......"

……

……

The disappearance of the crown prince is a first-class event for the royal family.

No matter what Zhu Youzhu does, even if it is to discuss military affairs, he must put down everything at this time and hurry to Kunning Palace to ask about the situation.

“…… Woo, it's all to blame on the concubines, the concubines learned that the emperor wanted to leave the palace, and asked those servants for silver, so they confiscated his silver, called him to give a lecture, and never thought that he was on the way back, so he disappeared...... Your Majesty, if the concubine is at fault, please punish him. ”

Empress Zhang took the initiative to take the responsibility on herself, although she knew that her husband would not blame her, but she still made a gesture first. The two get along with each other on weekdays, completely no different from ordinary couples, and even treat their only son with one mind, and now Queen Zhang is even more pregnant and has no fear.

Zhu Youzhu was so angry that he coughed violently, he thought that his son had learned to be smart and well-behaved in the past year, and the martial arts novels at the beginning of the year were a stubble, and he suddenly disappeared again, which made him feel extremely bad.

Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "My body is not as good as day by day, and I see that the burden is about to fall on him...... Ahem, ahem. ”

Eunuch Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, now that someone has been sent to look for it, there is no need to worry, the prince will be fine." The palace is strictly forbidden, how can the prince get out of the palace gate? ”

Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "Where is the prince now?" ”

This is not known to the eunuchs, Queen Zhang stepped forward to help her husband sit down, and the wife comforted her husband, and the husband could still listen to it.

But Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but start counting the prince's faults: "...... He is already fourteen years old, and he is still so willful and nonsense, I only know how to study diligently at his age...... Is there any news from the East Palace? ”

Gao Feng, the eunuch with the seal of the imperial superintendent, came in with a letter and said, "Your Majesty, find the letter he wrote to Shen Zhongcheng, the right deputy of the imperial capital, on the prince's bed. ”

"What?"

Zhu Youzhi couldn't find a way to vent, and when he heard Shen Xi's name, he suddenly remembered that Zhu Houzhao had often mentioned Shen Xi to him in the past year, and had repeatedly proposed to transfer Shen Xi back to the capital to teach him classes. ”

Xiao Jing respectfully took the letter, and then presented it to Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhu opened it to take a look, but it was his son who informed Shen Xi, saying that he was going to leave south to "defect" to Shen Xi, and he was immediately angry.

Almost immediately, Emperor Hongzhi's face turned red, and many thoughts flashed in his heart:

Okay, you Shen Xi, I used to be a lecturer in the East Palace, and I always instigated the prince to play, and I transferred you to Quanzhou on a business trip after I noticed it, and you came back with a great contribution, I thought you would be restrained, but now it's good, it turns out that you instigated my son to leave the palace gate! In vain, I trust you!

Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "Dig three feet into the palace and find out the prince too!" ”

These words are extremely majestic, and there is a faint evil aura, which is very different from Zhu Youzhang's usual modest temperament, not only the eunuchs are all afraid, but even Queen Zhang's face is a little frightened. Empress Zhang turned her head sideways and read the letter, and she was also furious, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have seen that Shen Zhuangyuan has bad intentions in the past......

Empress Zhang opened her mouth, and the eunuchs naturally echoed each other, and Zhu Youzhu was so angry that she coughed violently when she heard it.

After a long time, Zhu Youji's breath was a little smoother, and he waved his hand and said: "Go and pass the three ministers into the palace, as well as Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, I have something to tell them!" ”

Empress Zhang said: "Then Shen Zhuangyuan specifically misled the emperor, what is the use of staying...... Your Majesty, dismiss his officials. ”

Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "I know how to do it, I don't need you to teach a woman!" ”

As a benevolent monarch and a good husband, Zhu Youzhu rarely spoke to his wife so loudly before, and Empress Zhang felt that she had talked too much, so she quickly kept silent.

There was a dead silence in the Kunning Palace.

Half an hour later, the eunuchs Gong E still did not find Zhu Houzhao, and the three cabinet ministers Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, as well as Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia, who were specially summoned by Zhu Youji, had already entered the palace and were waiting outside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu Huo Ran stood up and walked towards the Qianqing Palace with a gloomy face.

When her husband left, Empress Zhang said angrily: "Wait for anything, go out to find it, leave no one, don't find it again, don't come back!" ”

……

……

Outside the Qianqing Palace, the three ministers and the two Shangshu were a little inexplicable.

It was already night, those who should go home went home, and those who should go to bed went to bed, but they didn't think about the emperor's summons, so they could only put down everything and rush into the palace in a hurry, but they didn't even know what was happening.

On the way to the palace, the five of them noticed that something seemed to be wrong with the palace, as if the palace ban had been strengthened, and the royal forest army and eunuchs patrolling everywhere could be seen.

Several people have a sense of crisis, and the first thing they think of is that someone wants to take over the palace and make changes?

During the period from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the Hongzhi Dynasty, there was first the Jingyan battle of Zhu Di and his nephew to seize the throne, and then there was the change of Yingzong's seizure of the door.

But if you think about it carefully, these five very politically minded people will find that they are not reliable at all.

Zhu Youji's throne is now very stable.

Xianzong's son did not have a top matter, to say that the most threatening to the throne is the Xingwang Zhu Youqi of Huguang, the Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu is the eldest son of the emperor and the crown prince, and the Xingwang Zhu Youqi is the second son of the emperor Xianzong.

But Xingwang Zhu Youqi has always been very cowardly, and there is no place that can threaten his eldest brother, but there are a few vassal kings in the local area who covet the throne, such as King Ning of Jiangxi, or Zhu Jianpei, the king of Hui in Junzhou, etc., there are not many others in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many princes, but these princes are basically in their own fiefdoms and can't even go out of the city, let alone come to the capital to seize the palace.

If it weren't for those who were kings to seize the palace, it might be a mutiny in the army.

Several people looked at Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Liu Daxia said that he didn't know anything about it, but several people immediately found that Zhang Mao, the British prince in charge of the army, was not there, so it was likely that the matter was related to Zhang Mao.

Several people were embarrassed to bring it up, could it be that Zhang Mao was unwilling to be a grandfather and wanted to go one step further to become an emperor?

It was a little cold outside the palace gate, and the deacons and eunuchs invited several important ministers to enter the Qianqing Palace to wait. Emperor Hongzhi didn't come, and several people could only wait restlessly, and after another half an hour, they heard the emperor's cough, and Zhu Youzhu entered the Qianqing Palace with a haggard face and sat behind the dragon case.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what happened?" Zhu Youzhu came up and gave everyone a problem.

This really embarrassed the ministers present.

The palace is forbidden for no reason, but there is no martial law in the capital, which is very strange, and there is no chaos outside the palace.

Xie Qian walked out and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, but it has something to do with the crown prince?" ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed: "It is the prince, today he plotted to leave the palace, and was found out by the queen, and he did not know his whereabouts in the palace after nightfall." It's infuriating! ”

In this way, the other four people except Xie Qian couldn't help but look at Xie Qian, and wondered in their hearts: "Your Majesty's topic is so biased, you Xie Daxue actually said it, could it be that Your Majesty has revealed the news to you in advance?" But when did Your Majesty summon you to the palace where everyone entered together? ”

Xie Qian said: "Your Majesty, the prince is missing, and people must be in the palace, thinking that the prince is in a depressed mood for a while, he will make a mistake, Your Majesty, don't be angry with the dragon body." ”

The remaining four people finally found what they could say, and saluted together: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important!" (To be continued.) )
