Chapter 970: Hongji is dying

In order to restrain her son's temperament, Empress Zhang made some concessions appropriately. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Don't you kid like women? The queen mother will not hinder you anymore!

Your father is right, since the emperor's lineage is thin, and your father can't accept a concubine, then let you have a crown princess, who can give you a child, even if she is a concubine, you can be a concubine in the future, who called the Ming Dynasty has always been young and orderly, and the status of the eldest son is unbreakable?

Mother is more expensive than son, it's best that your hair hasn't grown yet, and even the emperor's eldest grandson has it, so that the ministers of the court and the central government will not ask your father and emperor to accept the inner palace every day, and I don't have to compete with other women for favor after your mother.

This is also to prepare for your mother that I can't give birth to a little prince, my belly is getting bigger day by day, if I have a little princess, then your mother's overall plan will be in vain......

Zhu Houzhao has been a caged bird since he was a child, but he didn't realize it before, and now he really feels that he doesn't even have a minimum of personal freedom, let alone a palace maid at this time, even if he is given a beauty who is beautiful and fragrant, he can't look down on him.

A teenager who is in the period of adolescent rebellion, with one purpose, leaves the palace.

As long as you can leave the palace and go anywhere, you can go to the northwest to see the grasslands and deserts that Shen Xi said, you can also go to Liaodong to see the white mountains and black waters, and go to the south of the Yangtze River to experience the beautiful gardens and water towns, all of which were taught to him by Shen Xi in class.

Others will never talk about this, and the outside world that the bear child understands is rarely what he sees himself, and more is what Shen Xi described for him.

"Your Highness, the queen has sent a slave to invite you over......"

A palace maid came to pass the word, looking extremely handsome, it was the "little lover" who helped Zhu Houzhao change from a boy to a man, but Zhu Houzhao belonged to the type of unsympathetic and unkind, and the palace maid who only possessed it a few months ago had long been forgotten by him at this time.

are all in adolescence, their height changes every day, their appearance also changes, especially the changes in girls, plus Zhu Houzhao is in a bad mood, no wonder he didn't recognize it.

"Got it, you go back and tell the queen mother, after bathing in the palace, you have dinner, and then go over!"

Zhu Houzhao was very perfunctory to Empress Zhang, and in order to express his anger, he must show his attitude...... Non-violent non-cooperation!

Let me go over for dinner? I'll finish eating before I go over, so you know that I also have a temper and won't give in easily!

The palace maid said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, the mother commands...... Let the slave accompany you......"

Knowing her son Mo Ruo's father, Empress Zhang saw her son's recent performance in her eyes, of course she knew that her son was rebellious, and she herself was not suitable for walking around with a big belly, so when she told the palace maid and eunuch about things, she thought about the problem very thoroughly, so as not to delay the second trip.

"If you don't go to this palace, what's the matter?" Zhu Houzhao lost his temper and said.

Zhu Houzhao is worthy of being the most virtuous emperor since ancient times, there is no one before and no one after him, if you want to talk nonsense, he ranks second and no one dares to rank first, even Zhu Youzhu confessed to the minister when he was dying, I have never done anything bad in my life, but I have a son who is not angry, you can assist him well.

As a result, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others still treated Zhu Houzhao with the same way as Zhu Youji, but they suffered a big loss and were taken advantage of by Liu Jin.

With Zhu Houzhao's stubborn character, the more he controls him, the heavier his rebellious mentality, but he likes to listen to flattery words, and then eating, drinking, and having fun can arouse his interest, being an emperor is just for fun, since ancient times, the emperor has given himself the title of a public and a general, and only his character can do it.

Now the palace maid was so anxious that she was about to cry, but Zhang Yuan next to her was clever and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the queen must have something to do with you, maybe the queen is about to give birth, or ...... Your Majesty is sick? ”

Zhu Houzhao groaned: "Didn't you say that you were ten months pregnant? I'll do the math, it's only six months at most, is it premature? It's possible. My father's illness may have suddenly become severe...... Forget it, I'll go check it out. ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao's face swayed, and he said, "Leading the way, this palace suddenly wanted to see the queen mother, so I walked out of the palace by the way." ”

……

……

Zhu Houzhao wanted to disappear again and hide on the way to Kunning Palace, but he found that there were at least twenty eunuchs around him, and among these people, there were those who were very sharp in their legs and feet when they kicked and bowed with him on weekdays.

Finally arrived at Kunning Palace, the result really made Zhang Yuan guess, of course, it was not Empress Zhang who gave birth, but Emperor Zhu Youzhi was unwell, and when he went to Kunning Palace to prepare to dine with the queen, the cough was too violent, and suddenly coughed up a large amount of blood, and then the person fainted.

Empress Zhang hurriedly sent someone to invite the imperial doctor, and after the diagnosis, she knew that Zhu Youzhu was almost terminally ill, and the whole person was already in a state of prostration, and it was not easy to save him, but the situation was still very bad, and he might faint again at any time, and he might not be able to sleep for a long time at that time.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of your dragon body!"

After Zhu Youzhu woke up, Empress Zhang took her husband's hand and whimpered.

Zhu Youzhu stroked his wife's hair lovingly, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's okay, isn't this much better?" Someone, go and invite the three cabinet scholars. ”

"Your Majesty?"

Empress Zhang's face was full of shocked expressions, is her husband ready to pass on the throne?

Zhu Youzhu didn't explain, but because his face was sallow and his eyes were gloomy, Empress Zhang didn't dare to ask more, so she could only ask the eunuch to go out and inform the celebrant and ask the celebrant to send someone to invite Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, the three ministers, into the palace.

Zhu Youzhi respected and valued several of his mentors throughout his life, and the power of the Ming Dynasty cabinet scholars was gradually accumulated, first there were three Yang auxiliary ministers, and then Zhu Youzhi reused the cabinet, and then through the Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties, it was really established that the cabinet scholars had the authority of the prime minister.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were both in their respective mansions, while Xie Qian stayed in Wenyuan Pavilion to deal with official documents, so he arrived at Kunning Palace earlier than the other two cabinet scholars.

The inner garden of the imperial palace has always been a forbidden place for foreign ministers, even if the emperor has something to do on weekdays, it is usually in the Qianqing Palace to see the minister, if the minister has an urgent matter to enter the palace, when the emperor is not in the Qianqing Palace, he must wait for the emperor to come out of the inner garden to meet him.

It is very rare to see it directly in Kunning Palace like today, and usually the emperor's deathbed is located in Qianqing Palace. Xie Qian was wondering in his heart on the way to see the driver, could it be that the emperor's health had deteriorated so badly that he couldn't move to the Qianqing Palace?

With a feeling of unease, Xie Qian arrived outside the Kunning Palace.

Although there are no concubines in the inner palace now, and the six palaces are the only queen Zhang, but after all, there are so many palace maids, Xie Qian lowered his head and did not dare to face it, and while waiting for the eunuch to enter the ceremony, he wondered whether the emperor would see him alone, or wait for Liu Jian and Li Dongyang to meet together after they came.

"Mr. Xie?"

Just when Xie Qian was nervous in his heart, a slightly childish voice came.

In the past, this voice was extremely immature, but now there is a little more thick in the voice, which means that the prince has grown up, Xie Qian looked up and saw Zhu Houzhao standing curiously in front of the main hall of Kunning Palace, and a group of eunuchs beside him surrounded him in the center.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... The old minister greets you. Xie Qian hurriedly saluted, thinking to himself, isn't he going to change his name to "Your Majesty" in the future?

If you think about it, it's really possible!

Emperor Hongzhi was not in good health, and suddenly met in Kunning Palace, before he thought that there was a possibility that the prince had an accident, and the emperor asked three ministers to help teach his son, and now seeing the prince standing here, his heart swelled with a strong uneasiness.

"Scholar Xie, Your Majesty has summoned you, please." The eunuch Xiao Jing personally went out to convey the will. (To be continued.) )
