The first year that Zhang Zhijie came to the Ming Dynasty was extremely dull, because it was during the national funeral, and there was no New Year's atmosphere in the entire capital!

The weather is gradually warming, and the dullness that hangs over the capital is gradually dissipating, after all, the world is the biggest, and life must go on.

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, since the emperor ascended the throne, some people have gradually begun to become restless!

The edict of the first emperor rewarded a lot of civil and military relatives, of course, there is no eunuch in this! As for Zhu Houzhao himself, this guy hasn't thought of this stubble yet!

So the celebrities around Emperor Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong, are still ringing the bell in the Bell and Drum Division!

The first emperor died, and countless eunuchs and maids in the palace began to come to Gonggong Liu for nothing, why? Of course, it's because Gonggong Liu is about to become popular! It's going to be developed!

Liu Jin was also praised proudly, her daughter-in-law for many years has become a mother-in-law, and the eunuchs who used to look at the emperor's side were very majestic, but now it is finally her turn!

However, waiting left and right, Gonggong Liu still goes to the bell and drum division every day to ring the bell! Every time Gonggong Liu goes to the Bell and Drum Division now, he feels panicked!

Liu Jin couldn't help but hint to the emperor a few times, but it was a pity that the flattering eyes were thrown to the blind man, and Brother Zhu Houzhao didn't understand it at all!

Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, and several of their difficult brothers and brothers were suddenly depressed, and it was not easy to speak directly about asking for officials! Liu Jin and the others got together and began to scratch their ears and cheeks to discuss!

Several people expressed their opinions, feeling that the emperor's refusal to reward them was because Wang Yue, Fan Ting, and Dai Yi were all highly valued by the emperor, and if they wanted to replace them, they had to compete for favor with the emperor!

How to compete for favor? This is simple, no one can understand Zhu Houzhao's preferences better than them! The emperor is playful!

Liu Jin and the others began to search everywhere for some strange playthings to present to the emperor. The emperor was still immersed in depression, but he was soon attracted by the strange things that Liu Jin and the others had made!

On this day, the emperor read a few books, and suddenly became angry again, only to feel more boring than reading, and raised his head and said, "Does Liu Jin have anything to relieve his boredom?" ”

Liu Jin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I just presented a parrot below, which is extremely handsome!" And it's a lot of fun! ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately became interested, and urged: "What is an interesting method?" Hurry up and bring it to me! ”

Liu Jin agreed, ran away with a smoke, and soon led a little eunuch to carry a big bird cage!

This parrot is really very handsome, and most importantly, it is not afraid of life at all, holding its head high, looking around proudly!

Zhu Houzhao circled around a few times, touched his chin and said, "It's really interesting!" ”

At this time, the parrot spoke: "You coward, what do you see?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he heard this, but he was amused and laughed when he was not angry, and said to him: "Dare to say that I am a coward?" You're the coward! ”

Seeing someone arguing with him, the parrot suddenly rejoiced, jumped up and down in the cage, and shouted, "Melon! Gourd! The Peach Blossom Lake is thousands of feet deep, not as good as your big melon! ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed directly when he heard it, and was laughed straight down, laughing and saying funny! Liu Jin saw the emperor's happy appearance, and his happy old face wrinkled like a blooming chrysanthemum!

At this time, the little eunuch outside reported to the cabinet university scholar Xie Qian to see him!

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said to Liu Jin: "Hide quickly!" ”

Liu Jin was in a hurry for a while, and quickly covered the cage and put it under the table!

Xie Qian came in and saluted, "The old minister has seen the emperor!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was just about to say that he was free to be polite, when a high-pitched and sharp voice sounded, "You coward!" ”

All of a sudden, the needles in the hall could be heard, Xie Qian knelt there, dumbfounded, and the whole person was completely stunned!

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, coughed a little embarrassed, and was about to fool the past, when the sharp voice sounded, "Fool melon!" Gourd! The Peach Blossom Lake is thousands of feet deep, not as good as your big melon! ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't hold back any longer, burst out laughing, knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore, and instructed Liu Jin: "Hurry up and take out this coward!" ”

Then Xie Qian saw Liu Jin take out a birdcage from under the table! Liu Jin was just a small eunuch in the Bell and Drum Division, although he often served in front of the palace, but he didn't

What right do you have, you are still very in awe of the Cabinet Scholars!

Liu Jin was in a hurry for a while, opened the birdcage, and the parrot flew out at once when he saw the opportunity, and flew in the hall excitedly, and the hall was full of the sound of "cowardice" for a while!

Liu Jin hurriedly led the little eunuchs to chase after it to catch it, but it landed on the top of Xie Qian's head, shook its wings, fluttered, and a piece of bird feces fell on Xie Qian's nose!

Xie Qian's old face suddenly turned red, and he was about to faint with anger! When Zhu Houzhao saw this, his body shook and he couldn't help laughing.

Liu Jin came up and grabbed the parrot, carried the parrot cage, and disappeared in a puff of smoke! Zhu Houzhao hurriedly ordered the little eunuchs to fetch water and wash the elder!

Xie Gelao, who had been cleaned, knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the plaything is demoralized!" Besides, how can such foul-language parrots enter the palace, and where is the majesty of the palace? ”

When Zhu Houzhao saw Xie Ge Lao, he couldn't help but want to look at his nose, and when he heard that he was about to start preaching again, he hurriedly said: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, okay, I have already written it down!" ”

Xie Ge Lao choked when he heard the emperor's words, and wanted to continue to advise, but the emperor said so, so naturally it was not good to continue talking!

Xie Ge Lao remembered what was going on, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, the Tongzheng Secretary handed over the excerpt sent by Liaodong, and it was the spring ploughing, and there was an abnormal movement in Tatar. This matter is urgent, I don't know if His Majesty has approved it? ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't read a few books a day, how did he know that there was such a thing, and when he heard this, he said: "Ah, this, I will approve it in a while, and let people send it to Wenyuan Pavilion!" ”

Xie Qian walked out of the main hall, sighed heavily, shook his head and walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion!

Seeing that Xie Qian was gone, he asked the eunuch to find the fold and put it on the table, and went out of the palace to find Liu Jin to see the parrot!

Zhu Houzhao was happy to tease the parrot, and Gu Dayong was not to be outdone, so he found two juggling monkeys, let a little eunuch learn to play monkeys, and came to the emperor to offer treasure!

The two agile and cute little monkeys were teased and juggling, and Zhu Houzhao was so happy watching from the side!

Xie Qian returned to the Wenyuan Pavilion duty room, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian saw that their faces were very unsightly, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xie Qian said angrily: "When Your Majesty lived in the East Palace, the eunuch Liu Jin and the others only knew how to make some playthings to flatter Your Majesty, which made Your Majesty have no intention of ruling the government!" It's really heartbreaking! ”

Liu Jian's temper was the most hot, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "Your Majesty was still diligent in the government and politics, but recently those who were lured by these eunuchs have ignored the government for several days!" The first emperor was left alone with us on his deathbed, how could we allow the eunuchs to lead His Majesty astray! ”
