The spring weather is changeable, just now it is still the wind and the sunshine, a moment of effort, the fine spring rain will be sprinkled on the ground, silently moistening the earth, the leaves in the rain are washed away from the dust, it is bright green, vibrant. In the corner of the small building, Ding Si was like a fool, unaware of the hazy spring rain outside the house, and the Empress Dowager Zhang in the yellow gauze was even more embarrassed, and tears flowed out of her own eyes. The spring rain is silent, in such a weather, there is a person who can recall the past with you, and you reminisce about your relatives, suddenly the vague thing becomes clear, it appears vividly in front of you, you suddenly find that even if it is gone, the world is old, the person you care about is still alive in your heart, even if it is with his friends to recall the past, you feel extremely happy.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Zhang's voice seemed to be covered by the spring rain, and she only heard her say with joy and sadness: "That's right, the former emperor has always had this thought in his heart, since I knew him, he didn't know how many such things he had said to me, he was bent on thinking about the people of the world, and he was determined to be a good king." She seemed to wipe away her tears, and then asked, "Ding Zhukuai should know the life experience of the first emperor?" ”

Ding Si turned his senses and nodded unconsciously: "Yes, I didn't know about it, but I heard more or less about it later." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed softly: "Since I knew that I was going to marry the emperor, I heard a lot of things about him, then I knew that the emperor was also a pitiful person, he had been hiding in the cold palace since he was a child, he had never seen Xianzong, and he had to guard against the search of Concubine Wan, he really suffered a lot, until he was six years old before he was sent to Xianzong by Zhang Min's father-in-law, Xianzong only knew that he had a son, and then the Empress Dowager Xiaomu died mysteriously, the Empress Dowager Xiaosu was worried that the emperor was persecuted by the Wan family, so she took the emperor to her side to raise, I don't know how many hardships I went through to grow up, but Rao is like this, Wan still does not give up, for fear that the first emperor will ascend the throne to retaliate against himself, so he kept thinking about it, wanting Xianzong to abolish the title of the prince of the first emperor, once he almost succeeded, fortunately thanks to the Taishan earthquake, Xianzong thought that it was related to the prince's affairs to provoke the wrath of the earthquake, so he stopped this thought. She mentioned the past, as if she had returned to the time when she was waiting to marry and listened to her father talk about these things seriously and carefully, when she suddenly became a little scared for no reason, Zhu Youji's fate is so bad, it is inevitable that there will be some perverseness in his temperament, if he is irritable, how should he deal with himself?

She hadn't thought about it for too long, Ding Si had already said slowly: "What I admire most about the former emperor is that he can not fall in adversity, although there are many disasters, but he is still lenient to others, such a mind is really rare." I remember that after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, someone once wanted to punish him severely."

"Yes, the former emperor is such a person, born in calculation but generous, open-minded and never selfish." Empress Dowager Zhang's voice was full of admiration and longing, she exhaled a long breath and said: "After the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he never did anything to retaliate, he often said in my ear that it is not difficult for the king of a country to have selfish thoughts, otherwise he will listen to and believe partially." ”

Ding Si couldn't help nodding and said: "The first emperor not only said this, but also did so, when he was in power, he has always been diligent and diligent, taking care of the government, I remember that the first emperor not only set up the early dynasty, but also opened the afternoon dynasty, built water conservancy, reformed the accumulation of defects, blocked the Xiongnu in the north, and defended the Japanese in the east, and the people are getting better and better. When Ding Si said these words, he had thoughts and feelings, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the rumors that Emperor Zhengde did whatever he wanted and acted absurdly.

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't notice the embarrassment in Ding Si's voice, and was still immersed in the memory: "At that time, the emperor also sighed that he was too busy with political affairs, he couldn't spare time to accompany me, Dengzhao'er ascended the throne, after he was free, he would definitely accompany me more, but people were over......whelmed" Her voice choked up suddenly, and she couldn't say any more, Ding Si knew that Zhu Houzhao was still young when he ascended the throne, and Empress Dowager Zhang must have worked hard to stabilize the situation, and it was indeed a lot of effort, and I couldn't help but admire her Although she was a woman, she could hold back her grief when Zhu Youzhu died suddenly, It was really not easy to successfully support Zhu Houzhao to ascend the throne, and when he thought of hearing Zhu Houzhao's rumors, he hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't help but say: "I still remember that the emperor had very high expectations for the emperor, and often said that he should cultivate the emperor well and make him a generation of Ming Jun." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang's thoughts were unconsciously led by Ding Si, and said with emotion: "Zhao'er was born to be deeply loved by the emperor, and it is also a coincidence, his birthday is just in the year of Xinhai Ding You day Shen, just connected Shen, You, Xu, Hai, was said to be extremely good, is like the phase of the pearl,", according to the point of view of the star official, this kind of birthday is only available to Taizu, the first emperor felt that there were successors, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were blessed. When it comes to Zhu Houzhao, her voice unconsciously has some pride and pride: "Zhao'er is indeed smart and clever, and she never forgets it when she reads, and she is often praised by the emperor." ”

Ding Si heard Empress Dowager Zhang praise Emperor Zhengde, and knew that it was good for a mother to see her son anywhere, so he opened his mouth and said: "Queen Mother, I have also heard some rumors in the market that the emperor is acting a little dissolutely. When he said this, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the yellow gauze screen, not knowing how Empress Dowager Zhang would react.

Unexpectedly, the voice of the Empress Dowager Zhang behind the yellow yarn was still the same: "Yes, the emperor's temperament is a little uninhibited, he proclaimed himself 'Zhu Shou, the mighty general of the governor's military affairs, and the chief military officer'. "Empress Dowager Zhang said this thing Ding Si knows, Zhengde 12th year October, Tatar prince Boyan led the troops to attack, Zhu Houzhao heard that he was furious, insisted on leading the troops to attack, the ministers heard the news and admonished, for fear of repeating the "change of the civil fort" of the year, Zhu Houzhao did not think so, whether the minister or threatened or cried or bluntly spoke, insisted on his own opinion, really led the troops to the battlefield, and killed the enemy in the front line melee, all the soldiers saw the emperor so brave, but also blood boiling, a big battle Tartar defeated and fled, In the past two years, the border has been extremely peaceful. Hearing Empress Dowager Zhang mention this matter, Ding Si couldn't help sighing, although this matter was mixed among the officials, but Ding Si felt that although Zhu Hou did a risky thing in this matter, his courage was commendable, and he still had some praise in his heart, but when Empress Dowager Zhang mentioned this matter, she was a little complaining on her lips, but she still agreed in her heart, like this, how could Empress Dowager Zhang warn and secretly persuade the emperor?

The spring rain rustled, hazy all things in the world and everything, everyone secretly wondered about their hearts, how could they have turbulent waves in their hearts, but they always forgot to speak, and they didn't know how to speak?

Just when Ding Si was secretly thinking about what to say more, Empress Dowager Zhang was also thinking about how to say today's purpose, and finally, just when Ding Si wanted to speak again, Empress Dowager Zhang's voice suddenly sounded: "Ding Zhukuai, have you never suspected the death of the emperor?" ”

After hearing this, Ding Si was taken aback and stood up involuntarily.
