Chapter 16: The Storm Rises
Zhang Zhijie was helpless, blushing and arguing: "Niangniang, wronged, Niangniang also knows that I haven't been out of the house, so yesterday Xu Guangmian from the Dingguo Mansion sent me a post to invite me to Zuixianglou to eat, and I don't know what kind of place it is." It was only when I went there that I found out, and I slipped away in fear after eating. ”
Empress Zhang summoned Zhang Zhijie over just to instruct her, and she was also satisfied when she heard Zhang Zhijie's explanation, and said with a smile: "You have to pay more attention, today's imperial history is on the fold." Since you have become the prince's companion, many people are staring at you, so you should be cautious. You can go back with peace of mind, and I will explain it clearly to the emperor. ”
Out of Kunning Palace, Zhang Zhijie pondered as he walked back, whether this matter was a coincidence or a bureau set up by Xu Guangmian, he was still too tender.
At the same time, the commander of Jinyiwei made Mu Bin see the driver in the imperial study, and Mu Bin finished reporting the matter, but Emperor Hongzhi was noncommittal. Mu Bin raised his eyes and took a sneak peek, but saw that the emperor picked up a book and opened it and said, "Did the boy from the Hou family of Shouning go to the Qinglou last night?" ”
As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Mu Bin is naturally bright, and he has long known that there is an impeachment of Zhang Zhijie by the imperial history, and he estimated that the emperor was going to ask, so he had already prepared. Hearing the emperor's inquiry, Mu Bin returned: "Back to the emperor, Zhang Zhijie did go to Zuixianglou last night, but"
The Emperor asked, "But what?" Don't spit out. Mu Bin briefly described Zhang Zhijie's situation last night. If Zhang Zhijie was here, he would definitely be terrified, and the description was not bad at all, just like Mu Bin witnessed it on the side.
The emperor was dumbfounded when he heard this: "That's it, scared to pick up your pants and slip away?" Mu Bin couldn't help but smile and replied: "Back to the emperor, yes, just slipped away like that." ”
The emperor couldn't help but laugh with a "flutter": "Hahaha, I didn't expect this kid to be a living treasure." After laughing, he threw aside the excerpt of the impeachment of Zhang Zhijie, and said to the eunuch Wang Yue who was waiting on the side: "Stay in the middle." ”
When Zhang Zhijie returned to the East Palace, Yang Tinghe had already left, but he didn't know what method Zhu Houzhao used. Seeing Zhang Zhijie coming back, Zhu Houzhao jumped up from the chair all of a sudden, smiled at Zhang Zhijie obscenely, and then waved to Zhang Zhijie sneakily.
Zhang Zhijie was a little inexplicable, and Liu Jin and the others were not there, so he walked over, and Zhu Houzhao grabbed him and dragged him to the compartment.
Zhang Zhijie wondered: "What about Liu Jin and them?" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "Let me be driven out." Then Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Zhijie, where did you go last night?" Looking at Zhu Houzhao's appearance of a thief's eyebrows, Zhang Zhijie suddenly realized that Zhu Houzhao also knew.
It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles. Zhang Zhijie said helplessly: "Unfortunately, His Highness said that Xu Guangmian's kid set up a Hongmen banquet last night. Zhu Houzhao was surprised: "Why is it a Hongmen banquet?" Isn't that something? ”
Zhang Zhijie rolled his eyes and said, "This is a game!" The officials have written to impeach me, and now it's okay, the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, and it's not but either. ”
Zhu Houzhao said indifferently: "The official is just playing tricks, what are you afraid of!" Come, come, get to the point! Zhang Zhijie asked: "What's the point?" ”
Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and said: "You, say, what, what, heavy, point!" Zhang Zhijie was willing to say, and covered up: "You think too much, what is the point, so I ate some food and drank some wine." ”
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Zhang Zhijie, you are so unkind!" Zhang Zhijie was helpless, so he could only pick and talk about it.
Zhu Houzhao was very excited when he heard it, and finally asked, "Are you really just leaving?" Zhang Zhijie said seriously: "Really, I am a principled person. ”
Zhu Hou said unfinished: "Okay! Zhang Zhijie finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and said, "Zhijie, do you have a maid?" Zhang Zhijie was speechless, looking defeated.
Zhu Houzhao squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Tell me honestly, do you have any?" Well? Do you have? Zhang Zhijie spread his hands and said: "No, nothing." Zhu Houzhao was suddenly disappointed.
Zhang Zhijie said curiously: "Your Highness, how old are you?" How do you know this? Zhu Houzhao said honestly: "Let me tell you, when I was a child, I played peek-a-boo, hid on the side and listened to what the palace maid said, I didn't understand it at that time, and I didn't gradually understand it until the past two years." ”
Zhu Houzhao said pitifully: "But there is not even a palace maid in my palace, all of them are old grandmothers and eunuchs." Seeing Zhang Zhijie's surprised eyes, Zhu Houzhao said: "Actually, I only vaguely know, it's not that anything is going to happen, I'm just curious." ”
It turned out that Zhu Houzhao knew about men and women at such a young age, and he had been holding it in his heart, which was actually not a good thing. After he ascended the throne, he must have indulged in it all of a sudden, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he didn't know how to control it, and he was afraid that he would directly damage his body, maybe this is the reason why he has no heirs.
It's a pity that Emperor Hongzhi didn't assign palace maids to the crown prince Zhu Houzhao's palace, because he was afraid that they would seduce Zhu Houzhao and lose his body at a young age, but he didn't expect the final outcome to be unexpected.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhijie said with a straight face: "Your Highness, do you know why I didn't touch the maid?" That's because I'm still too young, my roots are not yet mature, I am young, and I am still in the ring. I am an only son, if I break my body early and don't know how to control it, resulting in ** exhaustion, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my children and grandchildren to succeed, and the good family business will be wasted, then I will be ashamed of my parents and ancestors. ”
Hearing Zhang Zhijie's heartfelt words, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Zhijie, thank you for telling me this." I didn't have anyone to say this before, but I feel much better when I talk to you about it today, and I know that you are also good for me. Don't worry, I'll be in moderation in the future. ”
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he suddenly pulled Zhang Zhi and said, "What if you talk to your maid?" Be sure to tell me. Zhang Zhijie almost fell to his head when he heard Zhu Houzhao's words, looking at Zhu Houzhao's pitiful appearance, thinking that there was no enlightenment education in this era, so he had to nod.
Zhang Zhijie suddenly thought of the martial arts of this era, I don't know if it is really amazing, if you can learn some advanced internal skills, it is not not only to strengthen the body and self-defense, but also to be beautiful.
Zhang Zhijie said to Zhu Houzhao: "Is there a master in the palace, the kind with deep internal strength in martial arts?" Zhu Houzhao was puzzled: "Yes, why are you asking this?" ”
Zhang Zhijie was pleasantly surprised: "Is there really one? If you learn it, you can strengthen your body. Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and said, "It's very tiring to stay up!" Zhang Zhijie thought for a while and said, "I heard that Wudang has a good health qigong. ”
Zhu Houzhao was suspicious: "Then, I will go and ask my father to summon them to Beijing." ”
