The capital, the Imperial Palace, the palace of the palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jin Gui had just finished teaching the prince, and before he could leave, he had been stopped by Zhu Houzhao, and Jin Gui was very strange.
Zhu Houzhao seemed to have something unspeakable, glanced at the left back, took Jin Gui to a corner where no one was, and said mysteriously: "Mr. Jin, has Mr. Shen given you a ...... recently?" That martial arts novel? My books were confiscated by my father, and now I don't have a single one in hand. ”
After confiscating the prince's idle book, Emperor Hongzhi once accidentally mentioned this matter in the lecture on the feast, and ordered the lecturer of the East Palace to teach the prince well, and not to talk about anything outside the classroom during the lecture.
Jin Gui had helped Shen Xi send martial arts novels to Zhu Houzhao several times before, but he was a person who knew how to protect himself, and when this kind of rumor was in full swing, he was neither willing to confess Shen Xi so that he would also be implicated, nor would he do such things again so as not to cause trouble.
Jin Guidao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now Shen Hanlin is far away in the southeast, how far away is the capital?" Even if there are letters and ...... Books come and go, and the journey also takes two or three months. ”
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "I know that it is far away, if it is close, I will sneak out of the palace to find him, where is the need to ask you." ”
The bear child regarded Jin Gui, who often delivered books, as "his own person", and in a hurry, he actually said what he thought, which really surprised Jin Gui...... The prince actually said that he was going to sneak out of the palace, if this was confirmed, even if he "didn't report it", he would be responsible.
If the prince has three long and two short outside the palace, then his life may have to be put into it.
Jin Gui hurriedly advised: "The prince must not go out of the palace gate, outside the palace walls...... It's very dangerous. ”
"I know that if I leave the palace, I may be sold by someone. Uh, Mr. Jin, did you bring any silver? Zhu Houzhao asked with a sudden wink.
Jin Gui was about to touch the money bag in his pocket, and suddenly realized that it was useless for the prince to get the silver, unless the prince really wanted to leave the palace. Jin Gui said: "Prince, the minister entered the palace in a hurry and didn't bring any silver. ”
Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you all like this, and it is so difficult to borrow some silver from you...... Then the next time you enter the palace, help me bring two or two...... Oh no, twenty taels of silver! When I borrow you, I will repay it twice in the future, and I will give you an IOU, 30% interest per month, 9 out of 13, do you think it's okay? Or 40% per month. ”
Jin Gui was stunned when he heard this, this is the noble prince who grew up in the deep palace and has never been in contact with the outside world of flowers?
How does it sound like a thug in the market!
Borrow money to make an IOU, with an interest of 30% per month, and I know that 9 out of 13 returns...... These can't be told by the speakers of the East Palace, that is, the prince learned from the eunuchs or palace maids. Jin Gui thought to himself: "Most of the palace people are from the market, and they know a lot about the affairs of the market, maybe they say that the prince knows." ”
Zhu Houzhao said: "Hey, Mr. Jin, is it okay?" If you don't speak, I'll say yes. ”
Jin Gui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The prince may not know that the minister's monthly rice is only six or seven taels of silver, and there is still a high hall in the family that needs to be supported, and there are ......."
"There are eighty high halls up there, and there are children waiting to be fed below, so please let you go, right?" Zhu Houzhao asked angrily.
Jin Gui was stunned again.
Where did the prince learn about this nonsense? But when I think about it, I seem to be trying to express exactly what I mean.
Zhu Houzhao was very angry: "Mr. Jin regarded me as a thief who robbed the road in martial arts novels, and what he said was the same as those tasteless businessmen, hum, I thought Mr. Jin would help me, who knew that he was in a gang with his father, uncle, and second uncle!" ”
Jin Guidao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister really can't take out so much silver, if the prince is in a hurry, he might as well ...... with His Majesty and the Queen."
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Mr. Jin, I respect you to call me sir, if you dare to tell my father and mother about this, I will ...... I'll dismantle you into eight pieces, even if I can't now, when I become the emperor, I will put you to death, and the five horses will be divided! ”
The bear child gritted his teeth when he spoke, and his tone was very affirmative, which made Jin Gui's heart secretly shocked: "I also helped Brother Shen send books and gadgets to the prince before, why did I still have a grudge and actually want to put me to death?" Is there anyone in the world who is a student so unreasonable? ”
But who calls unreasonableness a royal prerogative? Although Jin Gui was angry in his heart, he still said cautiously: "Don't worry, the prince will not talk nonsense." ”
"That's good."
Zhu Houzhao was extremely proud, this trick coerced and lured him to try it on Zhang Yanling repeatedly, and it was also very effective for Jin Gui today, and it made him feel that Shen Xi taught him all the truth, "Next time you come, bring some silver, don't need twenty taels, bring as many as you want, count me as if I borrowed it from you, and I will be the emperor in the future, and you will be allowed to be a big official, just ...... The prince and the princess, you choose by yourself, if you don't bring it, I will wipe you out, you can do it! ”
Jin Gui understood it at this time, and Zhu Houzhao was borrowing money from him.
He didn't know what the prince was going to do when he borrowed the money, but one thing was certain, that is, it would be no good thing, and it would be wiser for him not to borrow money now than to borrow money, otherwise he would not be exterminated in the future, and it was likely that he would be exterminated in a few days.
Jin Gui said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, the lower officials know how to do it." ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, and ran in the direction of the dormitory.
As soon as the person left, Jin Gui couldn't help wiping a cold sweat.
Originally, it was an honor to be able to get along with the prince alone, and it was an honor to let the prince teach him face-to-face, maybe he could become the prince's confidant and become a very popular minister in the future, but now Jin Gui felt a chill down his spine.
The first thing Jin Gui did after leaving the palace was to go home, but instead of preparing silver, he directly wrote a letter saying that he was sick and on leave, and asked someone to send it to Zhan Shifu.
It's a matter of my life, I can't afford to provoke it, I can always afford to hide, prince, you can't chase me to my house to borrow money, right?
……
……
Zhu Houzhao discussed with Jin Gui about borrowing money, then returned to the dormitory, took out a pen and paper and began to write a letter.
The letter was written to Shen Xi, the bear child was ready to "run away from home", thirteen-year-old Zhu Houzhao was in the rebellious period of youth, at this time he was tired of the boring life in the palace, and wanted to go outside to see and appreciate the rivers and lakes that Shen Xi told in martial arts novels.
The main thing is to escape the shackles of the father and the mother.
"The sea is wide and the fish leaps into the sky and the birds fly, what Mr. Shen said is not wrong at all, no wonder he wants to go to the southeast to become an official and leave the capital, how free and easy?"
Zhu Houzhao looked forward to the time outside, "When the time comes, I will be able to be an official with Mr. Shen, and I am clamoring for him to write martial arts novels for me...... No, I'm going to be a hero myself, and I'm going to sprinkle all the way with the silver. Ha ha! ”
The more Zhu Houzhao thought about it, the happier he became, writing letters and borrowing money, this was the first step of his escape plan, and the second step was to use the method that Shen Xi had taught him before, leave the palace gate, and go south with the silver and fineness.
The bear child has a certain fear of the unknown, so he is not ready to go on the road alone, but wants to take the little twister who has helped him out of the palace before, and has always been obedient to him.
"Hehe, I'm still smart." Zhu Houzhao was secretly proud.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan walked in from the palace gate and slowly approached Zhu Houzhao's desk.
Zhang Yuan is very strange, Zhu Houzhao has no habit of making up classes after class, and he has never seen Zhu Houzhao "read hard" before, even if he reads books, he only reads martial arts novels.
Zhang Yuan likes to be clever very much, he walked slowly to the table, not busy saluting, mainly because he felt that Zhu Houzhao was young and felt that he could restrain Zhu Houzhao.
Just when Zhang Yuan was about to arrive at the table, Zhu Houzhao suddenly noticed a black shadow, he was doing "bad things", he was shocked, the pen fell, and the ink was spilled on the table, but he saw that Zhang Yuan had already arrived behind him.
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Father-in-law Zhang, are you a mouse, why don't you come in without permission if you don't ask for peace in the palace?" ”
Zhang Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Prince, you have been splashed with ink, and the slave will help you wipe your ......."
said that he was helping to wipe it, but he took the opportunity to reach for the piece of paper where Zhu Houzhao had left his handwriting, and just when his hand touched the paper, Zhu Houzhao picked up the marble paperweight on the table and smashed it down on the back of his hand!
"Bang!"
The paperweight smashed firmly on the back of Zhang Yuan's hand, Zhang Yuan exclaimed in pain, his hand quickly retracted, and Zhu Houzhao waved the paperweight and fell towards Zhang Yuan's face.
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Okay, you Zhang Yuan, this palace is writing here, you dare to trespass without passing the word, and you dare to read what is written in this palace, come on, pull him out and beat him hard!" ”
Zhang Yuan had not recovered from the pain of being beaten on the back of his hand, and when he heard that Zhu Houzhao was going to ask someone to beat him, he instantly remembered the scene when he was pulled to clean his body, and he waved his fist to greet Zhu Houzhao in the face, but for a moment he suddenly calmed down, realized that this was not the time, and quickly withdrew his hand and bowed his head, knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
"What's the matter, dare to fight back? Come on, drag it out and beat me up! Zhu Houzhao shouted.
Six or seven eunuchs came in at the door, and they were about to step forward to pull Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan said in a pleading tone: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is lenient, and the slave maid just wanted to help you wipe the ink before...... You didn't hear the slave and maid when they came in......"
Zhu Houzhao became even more angry, and shouted: "Do you mean to say that the ears of this palace are deaf?" Drag it out and beat it until you die! I don't want to see you disgusting dog thing again! ”
Zhang Yuan wanted to cry without tears, he always felt that he was diligent, smart and good at speculating on people's hearts, so he was appreciated by the prince, the queen and the emperor, and the future promotion to the rank of lord was just around the corner, but he didn't expect that even the prince who felt that he was eating to death showed no mercy to him at this time, and actually said such cruel words as "until he was killed".
Several eunuchs came up to drag Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan had a lot of strength, and a few eunuchs couldn't drag him away.
Zhang Yuan was in a hurry, he was already left with a dark illness because of his adult cleansing, and at this moment he suddenly farted and urinated, and there was an extra puddle on the ground, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly covered his nose and said, "What the hell is this?" ”
Several eunuchs also hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, Zhang Yuan took the opportunity to break free and knelt on the ground: "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!" ”
Zhu Houzhao was angry at this moment, and shouted: "Look at your pitiful appearance, drag it out and beat thirty sticks, and if you dare to mess around, you will definitely be beaten to death!" (To be continued.) )
