Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes again and looked at the roof, which was still a wooden carved and gilded caisson, as if he was in a palace, and couldn't help but think: "Did I really cross over?" ”

Immediately after, Zhu Houzhao felt a sharp headache, and then countless information came out of his mind like flowing water.

Is he the current crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao?

The current emperor is Zhu Youzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? I fainted suddenly because I heard the news of my father's death?

"Prince, are you awake?"

At this time, a white eunuch who didn't need to wear a tile hat asked with a look of surprise, but the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing: "But I'm worried about the death of the slave and maid, if you have anything to do, the prince will have anything to do, and the sky of my Ming Dynasty will fall." ”

"Are you Liu Jin?"

Zhu Houzhao asked according to his memory.

Liu Jin nodded and replied: "The slave is Liu Jin, the prince, what's wrong with you, you can't even recognize the slave and maid, could it be that you have lost your soul?" ”

"No, it's just too sad for a while, my father died, I, this palace can't go away, this palace has to see my father for the last time, take this palace to Qianqing Palace."

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that he could re-travel to the Ming Dynasty to get a new life after he died, which had to be said to be a very lucky thing for him, so he chose to accept his current identity, not to mention that he was still a prince, not an ordinary person, it can be said that it is a good identity to cross the identity.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao quickly substituted himself into the identity of the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, and hurriedly ordered Liu Jin to take him to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Houzhao changed into plain filial piety clothes under the service of the palace maid, and was led to the Qianqing Palace by Liu Jin and other eight personal eunuchs.

At this time, the Qianqing Palace was already covered with black clouds, and there was a cry, and Liu Jin, who was next to Rao is Zhu Houzhao, wiped his tears: "Your Majesty treats people generously, has always been kind, and treats us slaves and maids very compassionately, and now he is going to heaven like this, which is really unexpected." ”

Zhu Hou glanced at Liu Jin, and he knew that Liu Jin was the great eunuch who later leaned towards the government and the opposition.

Through Liu Jin's performance now, compared with several other eunuchs who did not react, Zhu Houzhao had to admit that Liu Jin was indeed much more cunning and intelligent, and knew that his prince and father had a deep relationship, so he first behaved sadder than himself, so as to gain his favor.

After all, it stands to reason that as the prince's personal eunuch, if he wants to be in charge of the inner court and become a great eunuch, it is only possible to wait for the emperor to die and the prince ascend the throne, so Liu Jin should be happy.

Liu Jin can act, Zhu Houzhao will also act, in order not to be seen as a traverser, he also has to behave sadly, after all, the emperor who has died now is his father.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao also squeezed a few tears and choked up: "Good slave, don't cry, let's hurry up and see our father." ”

When the other seven eunuchs saw Zhu Houzhao praising Liu Jin, they all began to wipe their eyes and tears.

Zhu Houzhao smiled secretly, thinking that the other seven eunuchs were not simple, and they knew how to observe words and feelings.

Zhu Houzhao knew that these seven eunuchs and Liu Jin were called the "Eight Tigers" in later generations, and they were denounced by later generations as the eunuchs who caused chaos in the dynasty, and Liu Jin was the worst hacked among them, but in any case, they are still his cronies around the prince, so Zhu Houzhao didn't think about what to do with them.

Entering the main hall of the Qianqing Palace for a while, Zhu Houzhao saw that the white curtain had filled the half-old hall.

The master of the Ming generation of Zhongxing - Emperor Hongzhi is gone!

Emperor Zhengde, that is, his own imperial career, officially kicked off.

Of course.

Zhu Houzhao knew that he couldn't show an excited look now, after all, his father, the prince, had just died, and he had to be sad and sad.

Emperor Hongzhi was frugal all his life, and the Qianqing Palace was the emperor's bedroom, and now it also seems to be a little dilapidated and unrepaired, and there are not many eunuchs in the palace, but most of them are sad, among which the queen Zhang who is kneeling on the right side of the Zi Palace is tears like pearls and falling down one by one, as if it is endless.

"Queen Mother!"

As soon as Zhu Houzhao appeared, the queen hurriedly took Zhu Houzhao into her arms, hugged Zhu Houzhao very tightly like a cub, and her cold cheeks twitched violently when she pressed against Zhu Houzhao's face.

Zhu Houzhao could only obediently let this queen hold himself like this, thinking that maybe this queen saw her husband die, and now her son has become the only support, so she is so excited.

But because of this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think of the tragic fate of Empress Zhang in history.

Empress Zhang can be said to be very happy in the first half of her life, married to the Ming Emperor, and the Ming Emperor only loved her all his life and never married a concubine, her son has been the crown prince since he was two years old, and in ancient times, compared with the countless palace concubines who fought to the death, it can not be said that it is unhappy.

But it is such a happy woman who has to experience the tragic fate of losing her husband in middle age and losing her son in old age from now on.

When Zhu Houzhao thought of Empress Zhang, he couldn't help but think of his current self, thinking of his untimely death as Emperor Zhengde was too old, but he liked history since he was a child, and he remembered that many emperors of the Ming Dynasty were short-lived ghosts who died unnaturally, and he, Emperor Zhengde, seemed to be the same, because he fell into the water and died of lung disease.

The same way that the Emperor of the Apocalypse died later.

And although Emperor Taichang's death was indulgent, it was a bit far-fetched to think about it.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know how stupid Emperor Taichang was to accept the woman sent by Concubine Zheng Guifei, and he didn't want to have enough fun.

And from a physiological point of view, Emperor Taichang won't have a sage moment after making his first sex with a woman? Where is the feedback regulation of hormones? He never touched a woman when he was the crown prince, and after he became the emperor, he was so hungry and thirsty that he began to indulge in lust without waiting for the burial of Emperor Daxing? Aren't you afraid of being told by the ministers?

When Zhu Houzhao thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the current Hongzhi Emperor, who also died young.

According to Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly suffered from wind and heat eight days ago, that is, heat stroke, but the imperial doctor prescribed hot medicine without consultation, and Emperor Hongzhi, who knew medical science, took the medicine without objection, and died suddenly eight days later.

Heat stroke has the possibility of causing death, but it is not a serious disease, the possibility of death is very small, and Emperor Hongzhi has been extremely healthy all his life, not indulging in pleasure and not greedy for pleasure, will he not even be able to bear a heat stroke and cold?

Zhu Houzhao didn't know how incompetent the imperial doctors of the current era would be to make an emperor who suffered from heat stroke die suddenly.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao has reason to believe that it is possible that Emperor Hongzhi was framed and died!

But although Zhu Houzhao is the crown prince, he lives in Duanmu Palace, does not participate in the affairs of the inner court, and has been out of the cabinet to study six years ago, and he is also relatively prodigal, not at home every day, I don't know if the secrets are excusable, not to mention that he is still young and can't notice these, but it is impossible for the eunuchs and cabinet ministers of the Qianqing Palace not to be aware of it, right?

Zhu Houzhao had a lot of reason to believe that if Emperor Hongzhi was killed, then several high-ranking eunuchs and high-ranking officials in the inner court and cabinet must have been involved in this matter!
