14. See the driver

When a few people were having fun, they suddenly saw the big eunuch Yu Jing walking in from outside, Yu Jing was the personal eunuch next to Zhu Houzhao, he was very loved by Zhu Houzhao, his face was white, his body was slightly fat, and his face was a thunderous and untouchable group of harmony, Yu Jing came in lightly, leaned in Zhu Houzhao's ear and whispered a few words, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ding Dewu thoughtfully, clapped his hands, and stopped singing and dancing, Jiang Bin and others were drunk, I don't know why Zhu Houzhao stopped singing and dancing, Ding Dewu was holding his sleeves, Holding the wine glass in his hand, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Houzhao suspiciously.

Zhu Houzhao nodded at Ding Dewu: "Your father is coming." ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Ding Dewu's drunkenness dissipated in an instant, his eyes widened, and he said with an incredulous expression: "How does my father know that I am good friends with the emperor?" I never spoke up at home. He said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, don't you know, since my father retired, he has put all his energy on reprimanding me, and telling me some great truths in his ears every day, I came here secretly, how did he know that I came here and had the courage to enter here?" Ding Dewu reversed the heroic spirit of fighting the tiger just now, and the whole person was cramped and uneasy, and there was no way to escape.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing when he saw Ding Dewu distressed, and said while laughing: "I haven't seen you so embarrassed, but you don't have to worry, your father is not here for your business." After he said this, his eyes couldn't help narrowing, and he pondered for a while before he said slowly: "He came to me with the order of the Queen Mother." He leaned back slightly, and then said: "When my father died suddenly, the Queen Mother has always suspected that someone had done something, and not long ago, I don't know who leaked to her that Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai and others were not executed, and she has been haunted in her heart, for fear that I was fooled by others." His eyes drooped, and his long eyelashes covered his energetic eyes, and then he sighed and said, "I guess your father came for this nine times out of ten, but after such a long time, it will pass, so why bother to turn it out again?" ”

Jiang Bin and the others didn't dare to speak when they heard that this matter involved the emperor, but Ding Dewu knew that his father was not looking for his own trouble, so he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, thought about it again, and said as if pleading with Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, my father is quite old-fashioned, if there is something offended, please forgive the emperor." ”

Zhu Houzhao heard him say this, waved his hand to him and said: "Your father and my father also have an old relationship, and he was entrusted by the Queen Mother, don't worry, I won't blame him no matter what." He looked at Ding Dewu again, and asked a little teasingly, "Ding Dewu, are you going to stay here and wait for your father to come in?" ”

Ding Dewu retracted his head suddenly, shook his hand like a fan and said, "Forget it, I'd better sneak away, otherwise, my father will be nagging again." After finishing speaking, he was not polite, stood up and hugged his fist to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, Brother Jiang, Brother Luo, Brother Zhang, you continue, I will leave first." Then he slipped out of the side door like a gust of wind.

Jiang Bin and the others laughed, and in the midst of the laughter, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and ordered: "See." ”

Yu Jing hurriedly took the order to go out to Xuanding Si to see the car.

It didn't take much effort, Ding Si had already walked in from outside, at this time Jiang Bin and the others had all hid to the side, and the beauty songs and dances had also withdrawn, only Zhu Houzhao was holding a fine wine, and he seemed to admire the tiger in the cage, and took a few sips gently. Seeing this situation, Ding Si frowned slightly between his eyebrows, he had heard others say that Zhu Houzhao was arrogant and lascivious, but today he saw a fierce beast in the leopard room, and there was a heavy smell of wine and fat powder in the air, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that Zhu Youji, a restrained and polite person, how could he be such a deviant son?

Zhu Houzhao saw a trace of disappointment between Ding Si's eyebrows, he pointed to the couch in front of him carelessly, and said casually: "Ding Zhutou, don't be polite, sit-"

How dare Ding Si sit down in front of Zhu Houzhao, standing upright, refusing to sit down, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Ding Si with a smile, and seemed to say intentionally or unintentionally: "I once heard about you from others, and I know that you had the guts to have some heads and tails with the Red Lotus Holy Maiden back then, how come now, you are living more and more serious?" ”

As soon as Zhu Houzhao's words came out, Ding Si's face couldn't help but be hot, he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to be so unorthodox, and he didn't care about his age and identity at all. He couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart, but he quickly suppressed this emotion, and said respectfully: "The past of the young man, now I feel quite a dream when I mention it, and I never want to be laughed at by the emperor." Then without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to speak, he continued: "Seeing the emperor today is really at the order of the Queen Mother. His eyes were blazing and upright, which made Zhu Houzhao a little uncomfortable for no reason. Ding Si didn't know what Zhu Houzhao was thinking, and still said to himself: "The day before yesterday, the Queen Mother announced that I would enter the palace, I really wanted to-"

"Want to find out the real cause of the emperor's death? Is it? Zhu Houzhao's eyes were like falcons, and he stared at Ding Si fiercely.

Ding Si was stunned, and then nodded indifferently: "The emperor is wise, and the Queen Mother is exactly what she meant." ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered, and said with dissatisfaction: "Ding Si, let me ask you, do you think that Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai have been cut down to relieve their anger, and it is best to punish their clan, so that they can be regarded as avenging the emperor, so that they can be regarded as satisfactory, right?" As he spoke, his tone became heavier and heavier.

Ding Si's attitude was respectful, but there was still an unconcealed insistence in his tone: "I don't dare to think like this." ”

Zhu Houzhao said disdainfully: "You don't have to be duplicitous here, although I was young at the time, I found out clearly, the first emperor was weak, even if he was an imperial doctor, who could do the medicine to cure the disease and rejuvenate the magic hand, and they were not immortals in the sky." ”

Ding Si looked at Zhu Houzhao in surprise and couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao "snorted" from his nostrils and said, "Your life is life, isn't the life of the imperial doctor and the eunuch life?" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Ding Si suddenly asked, "Does the emperor still remember the emperor?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, then was silent for a moment, and his voice sighed a little: "I remember." ”

Ding Si felt a little relieved when he heard him say this, and thought: This Zhu Houzhao is not hopeless, and he still knows that he remembered the emperor, and finally lived up to Zhu Youji's love for him. His voice was a little low, and he said clearly word by word: "I remember that on the day of the emperor, the emperor was extremely happy. At that time, I already had my eldest son, Ding Dewen, and the emperor sighed to me that he finally had a successor, and he was so happy that day that he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, so he said a lot of heartfelt words. ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Ding Si with interest and motioned for him to continue, Ding Si pondered and continued: "He said that he hadn't seen his father before he was six years old, and even if he recognized the emperor, he didn't dare to get too close to him, this is where he always thinks of regrets, so he has a son, and he won't let such regrets happen again, he said, he said that he wants to personally raise the emperor, let the emperor become a bright monarch, and accomplish many things that he has no chance to do." ”

When Ding Si said this, his eyes couldn't help but appear Zhu Youji's ecstatic face again, but his heart was sour: In the world, there are nine times out of ten that those who are unsatisfactory, if Zhu Youzhu knew that Zhu Houzhao was like this now, I don't know how he would feel?
