Zhu Houzhao focused more attention on Zhou Zhi and said, "Zhou Zhi Xiucai, are you very confused today, I don't know who summoned you to the palace, right?" ”

Wei Bin never said this question, and Zhou Zhi had no way of knowing. However, Zhou Zhi also knew very well in his heart that he could order Wei Bin to go to the country to find him, and he must be a very important figure in the palace. And Wei Bin also made it very clear that it was not the crown prince Zhu Houzhao who summoned him, but someone else.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly said, "Zhou Zhi really doesn't know. ”

"Zhou Zhixiucai, it is the queen mother who ordered Wei Bin to summon you. Speaking of which, the queen mother wants to see you, and it was also recommended by the prince in front of the queen mother. Today is a lucky day for you!

This prince will tell you the truth, this prince sees that you are very talented, and very smart, and you have a lot of interesting and strange things in your head, this prince just wants to summon you into the palace, stay with this prince and play with this prince. Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

He obviously admired Zhou Zhi very much at this time.

Zhou Zhi was shocked when he heard this. What's going on? Let me play with you all day long, I am going to be an official in the imperial examination, where is there so much spare time to fool around with you who like to play around? Although you are the crown prince, how can you do more for the people of the world now that you follow you all day long?

Although it is said that if you follow you, you may have a future in the future, but it is not based on your own real talent and learning.

The people who follow you should be Liu Jin and other Eight Tigers. Although I am thoughtful and say that I will definitely be a minister under you in the future, I must also come to it in a righteous and bright way.

Zhou Zhi thought about it like this and made up his mind. But at this time, it is categorically impossible to directly refuse Zhu Houzhao. You must know that Zhu Houzhao is now the crown prince, which makes him unhappy, and he said that he will be admitted to the Jinshi or something in the future, but it is unknown whether he can leave the palace safely.

Fortunately, before Zhou Zhi could speak, Zhu Houzhao continued, "Prince Ben admires you very much and wants to keep you by his side, but you know that what Prince Ben said now is not very good, you have to pass the level of the queen mother."

Okay, Wei Bin, you can lead Zhou Zhi to see the queen now! ”

Wei Bin didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly agreed.

Zhou Zhi and Wei Bin said goodbye to Zhu Houzhao, came out of the lantern warehouse, and went directly to Kunning Palace. It is a long way to go from the Lantern Library to Kunning Palace. This road first passes through the noon gate, the Taihe gate, through the middle right gate, to the back right gate, and then to the Longzong gate, the Qianqing gate, and then the Qianqing Palace, after the Qianqing Palace, and then go north is the Jiaotai Palace, after the Jiaotai Palace, it is the Kunning Palace.

Along the way, Zhou Zhizhen really appreciated the vastness and splendor of the palace, which is the center of power, a place of majesty, and a place where you can enjoy prosperity and wealth and enjoy a good life.

The name of Kunning Palace comes from the original text of the Tao Te Ching: In the past, the sky was clear, the earth was clear, the gods were spiritual, the valley was surplus, all things were born, and the king of Hou was one and thought that the world was right.

The status of the queen is relative to the emperor, and she is the most noble among the women in the world, the emperor is the sky, the queen is the earth, the emperor is Qian, the queen is Kun, and the queen is the only one in the world. The queen's bedroom is taken from the Tao Te Ching, Kun Deyi Ning this sentence, so the name Kunning Palace.

Moreover, the current Hongzhi Emperor has only one woman in his life, Empress Zhang, which can be called a model of monogamy in the world.

Incidentally, although Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang set an example, few people in the world followed suit. Especially those princes and ministers, officials who hold real power in various places, as well as those rich families, landlords and nobles, they have few wives and four concubines, and they want a group of wives and concubines.

Sometimes they compare themselves to each other in terms of the number of women they have.

Under such an atmosphere, as a man in the Ming Dynasty except for the emperor, there are few women around him, which will be looked down upon.

Yes, even the great eunuch Li Guang, who committed suicide in fear of crime, made so many women, let alone normal people.

Zhou Zhi has traveled to this era and is naturally very familiar with the current atmosphere. Zhou Zhi now only has one woman, his wife Kou Peihan, and as for whether Zhou Zhi will have other women in the future, Zhou Zhi has not thought about it.

In Zhou Zhi's consciousness, no matter how many women there are around him, he and every woman should love each other. In order to protect his woman, he must have the courage to give up his life, if he can't meet a woman who makes him fall for him and is desperate for it, then Zhou Zhi would rather guard his wife Kou Peihan and live a lifetime as a woman.

At this time, it was already dusk, and although Kunning Palace had not yet held the lights, it was also extremely peaceful. At the entrance of the palace stood two fourteen or fifteen-year-old eunuchs, with long eyebrows and delicate eyes, and the first impression was that they were clever and well-behaved people.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them saw Wei Bin, they said with a smile on their faces, "Oh, Grandpa Wei, did you come to Kunning Palace to see the queen?" The minion will go and report it. ”

If Wei Bin was only the prime minister in Shangshan before, there was absolutely no such treatment. Speaking of which, Shangshan Jian is a department with a lot of oil and water, but after all, he doesn't have much power in his hands, and he doesn't have much future.

But now it's different, I didn't expect that the palm print eunuch of Shangshan Eunuch and the eunuch of Admiral Guanglu did not get the favor, but it fell on Wei Bin, the prime minister. Wei Bin is now going to serve the crown prince, the prince is the future emperor, so in the future, once the crown prince ascends the throne, won't Wei Bin's power soar?

Therefore, he must curry favor with Wei Bin, so that he can better mix in the palace in the future.

Wei Bin nodded lightly and said, "I'm sorry for the two of you." ”

Obviously, Wei Bin spoke quite politely. It can also be seen here that Wei Bin is actually very low-key at this time.

One of the little eunuchs was left to continue to guard the palace gate, and the other hurried into the palace with small steps.

The area of Kunning Palace is naturally not small, and it is estimated that it will take a while for this little eunuch to come back. Wei Bin simply patted Zhou Zhi's shoulder gently, which seemed to be a very intimate action.

Wei Bin said pretendly, "Zhou Zhixiucai, you are lucky, you will be by the prince's side in the future, but we will bow our heads and not look up, and we will take care of each other in the future." ”

Just such a simple sentence, Zhou Zhi felt that Wei Bin in front of him was also a shrewd and sleek person.

It's no wonder that he is one of the future "Eight Tigers", where will there be simple people among the "Eight Tigers"?

No matter what happens to Wei Bin in the future, at least he is polite to himself now, and Zhou Zhi has no need to offend him. smiled slightly, "Grandpa Wei said that he was joking, Zhou Zhi is just a showman, how can he be compared with Grandpa Wei?" ”

"Zhou Zhixiucai can't say that, now we still have Liu Jin and Gao Feng in our family, although they are all serving by the prince's side, but how can we compare to Zhou Zhixiucai, Zhou Zhixiucai is a person who is very literate and hyphenation, but none of us are literate." Wei Bin said.

Zhou Zhi smiled but did not answer.

Wei Bin said ruthlessly in his heart, hum! Do you think our family is complimenting you? Our family is playing tricks on you, do you think you will really stay with the prince, you can't pass the queen's level.
