Emperor Hongzhi knew very well in his heart that Empress Zhang came this time, and it must have been the crown prince Zhu Houzhao who sued behind his back, and the reason was probably related to the fact that he robbed him of his cabbage.

However, Emperor Hongji didn't care about this at all.

Can my son turn the sky upside down?

I don't know if I'm alive or dead.

Emperor Hongzhi's gaze swept over Zhu Houzhao coldly, and the latter sneered and shrank his head.

True!

In recent days, Zhu Houzhao has become more and more dissatisfied with his father, especially when he returns to the dormitory every day and looks at the bare piece of land in front of the bed, his heart is even more uncomfortable.

When a father and his son grab things, is there still such a thing in the world?

So after thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao had the idea of a curved and circuitous, and found his mother, Queen Zhang, and there was the scene just now.

"Father, you should put state affairs first."

Zhu Houzhao relied on his mother by his side, and his head was unprecedented.

Empress Zhang also glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, with a hint of complaint, Emperor Hongzhi often went to the imperial garden to take care of those cabbages, and even the time to accompany her was much less than before.

She said in a quiet tone: "Your Majesty doesn't want to say something?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, his tone was gentle, his eyes were full of love, and he hugged Empress Zhang, and explained: "The queen doesn't know, I heard the imperial doctor say that cabbage has the effect of nourishing and beautifying, so I often come and go to the imperial garden, the queen should not blame me......"

Beauty?

Empress Zhang was slightly stunned, and her originally complaining look immediately turned to joy: "It turns out that this is the case, why didn't Your Majesty inform your concubines earlier, the concubines who were harmed almost blamed Your Majesty." ”

As she spoke, she seemed to wipe the fine sweat on Emperor Hongzhi's head with a brocade hand, but she had no intention of complaining.

Emperor Hongzhi pretended to sigh and said: "Although the general cabbage can also beautify the skin, but the effect is unsatisfactory, only planted in late autumn, the cabbage that grows in early winter will have a better effect, so I deliberately fasted and bathed, and begged for eleven cabbages from Du Shen, for the queen." ”

Empress Zhang was very moved when she heard this, and Emperor Hongzhi also had affection on his face, and the corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched wildly, and his angry hands were trembling.

"Father, it seems that the retainer heard that you only asked for ten cabbages!"

When it came to begging, Zhu Houzhao almost gritted his teeth and said it.

Empress Zhang was surprised and said: "Yes, the concubine heard Houzhao say that there is also a cabbage that belongs to him, saying that His Majesty bullied him and snatched it." ”

She wondered in her heart that her husband and son were not the same, there must be something wrong in them, and maybe someone was lying to her.

Emperor Hongzhi's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were full of mockery when he looked at Zhu Houzhao, and he said in a light tone: "Who said that I only asked for ten cabbages?" It's eleven of them! ”

Zhu Houzhao stiffened his neck and said, "How can my father prove it?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I have a golden mouth, could it be that I will deceive you?" ”

At this time, Empress Zhang spoke, and she frowned: "Could it be that the prince is deceiving the concubines?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi showed surprise at the right time: "There is still such a thing? How dare the prince deceive his biological mother? ”

Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth wide and hurriedly explained to Queen Zhang: "The queen mother is wronged!" How dare Erchen lie to you, you have to believe Erchen! ”

Before Empress Zhang could speak, Emperor Hongzhi preemptively said: "I heard that Du Shen cherishes those cabbages very much, even I have to work hard to ask for them, since the prince claims that there is a cabbage that is yours, could it be that the prince also asked for it like me?" ”

Zhu Houzhao broke out in cold sweat on his forehead!

He took his head and begged?

Obviously stolen!

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "What's the matter? Prince, what do you mean? ”

Dare to sue me, do you really think that my Jinyi guard eats dry rice? I don't know if your cabbage is coming from the right way?

As a young monarch of a country, Zhu Houzhao always has a brocade guard hidden by his side, and anything he does will be recorded.

Zhu Houzhao reluctantly smiled: "Father, if the son wants to say that this is a misunderstanding, will you believe it?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "What does the prince think? ”

Zhu Houzhao felt bitter in his heart, and turned his head to look at Empress Zhang.

Empress Zhang had a pretty face: "I can't imagine that your child even dares to lie to his mother, he always came to cry and complained that he was punished by His Majesty, it seems that His Majesty still dotes on you too much!" ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't say it, he really wanted to tell his mother, his father was lying to you, only your son was telling the truth, but in this situation, he didn't dare at all!

If only he let his mother know, he stole the cabbage.

Will he still have good fruit to eat after that?

Emperor Hongzhi's tone suddenly changed: "Hey, it's because I love him too little on weekdays, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, the queen should not be angry, and let the prince go to the imperial study to face the wall and think about it for a night, I went to supervise it at night, what does the queen think?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's legs were weak, and he went to the imperial study to think about the wall for a night?

You can't beat him to death???

Empress Zhang didn't understand the deep meaning, she sighed and said: "Your Majesty is too doting on the crown prince, such a big mistake but only punished him for thinking about it, if the concubine is definitely going to beat him." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said with deep meaning: "The prince has also grown up, how can he smoke it at every turn, as for how to teach the prince, the queen doesn't have to worry too much, I believe that after tonight, the prince will definitely wake up." ”

"You're right, my son?"

Zhu Houzhao's face turned white, and he said in a trembling tone: "Father... Father... That's right. ”

……

The white horse passes through the gap, and the sun turns and the moon moves.

Soon, a few days passed.

However, two major events happened quietly in the capital.

First, the price of chalk has plummeted, and it has reached ten cents a pack, and even affected Zhili and other places, and many rich squires who have contracted many mountains find it unprofitable and are anxious.

Fortunately, when this matter was decided, Emperor Hongzhi did not prohibit the purchase and sale of contracted hills, and these anxious contractors sold off their own hills together with production equipment.

As a result, Wang Changgui has more resources in his hands and has become the real leader of the entire northern chalk market.

It's just that now that winter is approaching, it is not a trivial matter to open up the southern market, so we have to wait until the winter passes, and for the time being, we can only determine the transportation route first, so we did not start immediately.

As for the second thing.

It was about the stationery store selling sky-high auspicious prices, but it turned out to be cabbage, which made people in the capital laugh.

The impact of this incident is much greater than the former.

After all, everyone knows that behind the stationery store, in addition to the famous Mr. Du Shen, there is also the shadow of the current saint.

This cabbage is sold as a sky-high auspicious price, and it is simply a fool to treat everyone for a fool!

Some radical scholars even gathered at the door of the store, asking Du Shen to come forward to give an explanation, which caused the entire capital to be in an uproar.
