The power is in charge, and everything is waiting to be enjoyed!

Zhu Houzhao knew that he would definitely be busier than before, but now he knew that there were thousands of things waiting for him to do, but he didn't know which step to start.

Zhu Houzhao decided to let himself be quiet first, and suddenly he was a little confused, and he stood for half an hour under the winter sun, only looking at the Forbidden City deep in the red wall and was silent.

However, Zhu Houzhao hadn't been idle for long, and Gao Feng, who was in charge of the palace guard, trotted over.

Just as Zhu Houzhao just took power and waved his hand, he even beheaded three officials, and now Gao Feng, the eunuchs who have newly become the great masters of the inner court, are also very energetic, and even the report affairs are trotting all the way, for fear of delaying the big event.

"The emperor, Mu Bin, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, is kneeling outside the noon gate with the head of Lu Heyizi, the former governor of Dongchang, Lu Qi, and saying that he is asking the emperor for guilt!"

After Gao Feng finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao sneered angrily: "What kind of crime is this Mu Bin asking for, I personally ordered him to send Zhang Zhao to the edict prison, but he was good, and let Zhang Zhao escape from the edict prison in a blink of an eye, and almost caused Zhang Zhao to break into the palace with his soldiers and kill me!" ”

Gao Feng smiled awkwardly: "What the emperor said is that based on this, this Mu Bin really deserves it, but the slave maid heard him say that he seems to have grievances, it was Lu Qi who falsely passed on the holy decree, and he was confused for a while before he released Zhang Zhao, who was against the party!" ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile: "What a fool, but I just want to speculate, not to mention that what I offered is only Lu Qi's head, obviously I don't want Lu Qi to say too much!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao looked at Gu Dayong who was standing aside: "Come here!" ”

According to this, in order to avoid the phenomenon of a dominant family in the "Eight Tigers", and in order to balance them with each other, Zhu Houzhao did not make a favoritism, even if he was an errand that could be close to him, the son of heaven, he let the "Eight Tigers" take turns on duty.

Today, it is the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi and the commander of the West Factory.

The West Factory was originally an institution established during the Chenghua period, but it was later revoked, and now Zhu Houzhao asked Gu Dayong to supervise the West Factory, which naturally intended to re-establish the West Factory.

Gu Dayong saw Zhu Hou calling him, so he hurriedly came over: "What does the emperor command?" ”

"Go and send a decree to Guo Rong, and ask him to bring all the officials above the general banner of the Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town to the noon gate!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he turned around and went back to Cining Palace, and now he has not moved to Qianqing Palace, so he still lives in Cining Palace temporarily.

Noon has arrived, the sun is getting warmer and warmer, and the indoor fire has added a bit of temperature, so Zhu Houzhao asked the palace maid to take off her outer robe for herself, and only took out a lucky orange from the agate plate in a thin coat to eat.

Fu orange juice is thick and sweet, very thirst-quenching, Zhu Houzhao ate two before stopping, only to see that at this time, the Queen Mother Zhang has appeared here with the support of the female official, with a natural smile in the corner of her eyes, and only said to Zhu Houzhao: "The emperor didn't sleep all night, and went to Fengtianmen in the morning to listen to the government, is there no short?" ”

"There is no shortage of children, but they are hungry, these sisters are just standing on the side and don't know how to give me food, I can only take lucky oranges to satisfy my hunger", Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, and the pretty female official Ruyi on the side was so frightened that she lost her face and hurriedly crawled on the ground: "The emperor spares his life, and the emperor is hungry in the belly." ”

"Get up, I'm just kidding, let's go to the imperial dining room and pass the food!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he personally supported the Queen Mother Zhang to sit on the main seat, and the Queen Mother Zhang's demeanor was obviously much more relaxed than before, Zhu Houzhao could guess that his mother should have known that he had successfully controlled the affairs of the inner court, otherwise he would not be in such a good mood.

"The mourning family only thought that you had grown up and sensible, but you were still so naughty! From today onwards, the burden on your body will be heavier, and the mourning family just wants to ask you, are you ready to be a good emperor? ”

Empress Dowager Zhang has obviously changed her words, she only hoped that Zhu Houzhao would be happy and happy, and she didn't have to be a good emperor, but now she began to reveal her intention to support Zhu Houzhao to be a good emperor, and asked Zhu Houzhao if he was ready.

"The child never dared to forget the earnest teachings of his father, the queen mother can rest assured that our royal family will get better and better, and the Ming Dynasty will get better and better!"

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You should get married next year!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Empress Dowager Zhang to suddenly mention this matter, thinking that sure enough, parents all over the world are the same, and they always care about these things.

"The queen mother, the child is only fifteen, it is too early to talk about this."

Zhu Houzhao really thinks it's too early, in the future, he is still a junior high school student, not to mention that marriage or falling in love will be opposed by his parents and teachers, and when he thinks that he will marry a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl as a queen next year, he can't accept it.

"It's not early! If it weren't for the sudden death of your father, you would be getting married this year, and the queen mother doesn't want anything else now, she just wants to have a little emperor and grandson to accompany you, so that the second half of your life can be more interesting", Empress Dowager Zhang laughed as she spoke, and seemed to have begun to fantasize about the scenes of countless emperors and grandsons calling him his imperial grandmother.

Zhu Houzhao knew that he could not disobey the etiquette of this era, so he could only say: "In this case, the child is also the same as his father, just appoint a queen, which is both thrifty and troublesome!" ”

"No! Your father and the emperor only married one person from the mourning family has been discussed by many civil officials, saying that the mourning family is jealous and affects the emperor's heir, and now you only have one queen, do you also think that your queen will also be accused of being unvirtuous and jealous in the future, at least the mourning family does not want the royal daughter-in-law of the mourning family to suffer such grievances in the future! ”

Empress Dowager Zhang seems to be very decisive in this matter, and Zhu Houzhao is not allowed to refute it.

Zhu Houzhao didn't object to this, and at the same time thought that his mother was afraid that she would also know that the civil officials outside had a lot of complaints about her, but Zhu Houzhao didn't dwell on this kind of issue, and only smiled: "Then only three of them will be canonized first, one queen, one imperial concubine, one concubine, no more, the child is still young and has to take care of his body, right?" ”

"Okay, just three!" In the eyes of Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhu Houzhao has always been her only child who can be hurt, and naturally there is nothing to insist on.

Zhu Houzhao also knew that it was inevitable for him to marry a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls next year, but he could only minimize the number now, so as to avoid many girls from growing alone in the palace and from chattering too much in his inner court and harem in the future.

However, although they are all fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, they all want to become their own women in the future, Zhu Houzhao can't help but pick them, so he said: "Mother, the child still wants to change the rules, according to the previous rules, you choose three people for the child, this time the child wants to choose by himself, choose what he likes, otherwise you choose what the child doesn't like, won't it delay the girl and delay the child." ”

"Well, it's up to you! When the time comes, you can choose yourself, and the mourning family will not interfere", Empress Dowager Zhang laughed, took Zhu Houzhao in her arms and rubbed it and said.

Zhu Houzhao saw that Ruyi, the palace maid on the side, was also snickering, so he quipped: "Sister Ruyi, what are you laughing at, do you also want to be my concubine?" ”

"Slaves don't dare!"

Ruyi obeyed with shame, his face was red and he was a little scared, and he realized that he had indeed lost his temper just now, so he hurriedly crawled on the ground.

Empress Dowager Zhang was not angry with her personal maid Ruyi, she only smiled and said to Zhu Houzhao: "If you really like Ruyi, the mourning family will reward you." ”

"How dare a child take the love of his mother!"

Zhu Houzhao let Ruyi get up as he spoke, and at the same time explained that he was joking.

Ruyi put his mind at ease, secretly thinking that he had escaped the catastrophe, but he was also slightly disappointed.

Zhu Houzhao continued to talk about the matter, and said to the Empress Dowager Zhang: "Queen Mother, when the situation is stable, the child will definitely ask the Ministry of Rites to give you the honorific title!" At that time, the queen mother will be the most noble woman in my Ming Dynasty! ”

"What honorific title is not honorable, it's just a false name, you can't fight with the officials for this, the queen mother just wants you to do well."

Empress Dowager Zhang obviously should have known about the reluctance of some civil officials to give him the honorific title, although she said with a smile that it didn't matter, but the disappointment in her eyes couldn't escape Zhu Houzhao's eyes.

Zhu Houzhao only said: "Queen Mother, this is not just a false name, it is about the dignity of the father, the dignity of the queen mother, and the dignity of me. ”

"In that case, the queen mother will not interfere, it is rare for you to have this filial piety!" Empress Dowager Zhang opened her eyes and laughed.
