Although she is the queen mother, the queen mother Zhang is only in her early thirties after all, and she is first and foremost a mother in front of Zhu Houzhao. In the past, his son was not very close to him, but now he is finally close, but he is guilty of two ends in three days, this time his son rarely sincerely admits his mistake, and the cold face of Empress Dowager Zhang can no longer be put down.

Stretched out her hand to pull Zhu Houzhao up, she helped the person to look at it for a while, and finally remembered Wang Yue's report again. However, she really didn't want to destroy this rare mother-son harmony, so she stared at Xu Xun, who was kneeling down, and shouted: "Xu Xun, the first emperor and the emperor both trusted you, but you actually dared to lure the emperor to that kind of unsightly place today!" ”

He seduced the little emperor? The conscience of heaven and earth, this is clearly whether the emperor forced him or not!

"The Queen Mother, it's really because the emperor is in a bad mood because of the rumors, and the ministers have no choice but to do it." Although Xu Xun was slandered, he had to plead guilty first, but his words were vague. Without waiting for Empress Dowager Zhang to raise his eyebrows, he hurriedly explained, "It's just that the emperor's surname is pure filial piety, even if he hates those who spread rumors, he will definitely not come to Hu during the national funeral...... And today, thanks to the emperor's discernment, a case was found in the Qinglian Pavilion. ”

Just now, Zhu Houzhao wanted to intercede for Xu Xun, but when Xu Xun said that he was aware of the case, his eyes widened suddenly. When he found that Empress Dowager Zhang was looking at him in surprise, he coughed dryly, and said quite unnaturally: "Erchen didn't expect such a coincidence, I wanted to chat with the woman about some family things, but Erchen occasionally said that his surname was Zhu ......."

"The emperor said that his surname was Zhu, and accidentally revealed the dragon pattern jade pendant on his body, and the woman thought it was a nobleman, and immediately knelt down to confide in her grievances." Xu Xun was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would be embarrassed after he said something and was mistaken, so he immediately took it. Seeing that the little emperor suddenly realized and shut up, he went to Beizhen Fusi with Zhu Houzhao, and asked the beginning and end of the grievances in the Qiu Lin family, and said solemnly at the end, "It must be that the first emperor knows that the emperor is filial piety in the sky, so even in that kind of pickled place, he can teach the emperor to distinguish between good and evil." ”

When others praised her husband and son in front of her, Empress Dowager Zhang was naturally happy, and her already softened complexion calmed down. It's just that she is not a credulous person, and after thinking about it, she ordered another steward next to her to go to Beizhen Fusi with an elderly female official, and then immediately admonished Zhu Hou in a face-to-face manner, and finally ordered Xu Xun to get up. Seeing that he stood up with his knees on his knees, she didn't know what was going on, so she immediately ordered angrily: "Come on, move a brocade pier for Xu Xun." ”

This kind of treatment is only available to Hou Jianchang of Shouning, and even the princes of each family can only stand honestly before Ci Jia. Therefore, several eunuchs and female officials looked at each other, and they all knew that Jia Shichun's mouth outside was in vain. When a eunuch moved to Jindun and invited Xu Xun to sit, Empress Dowager Zhang sent them all out, leaving only Xu Xun and Zhu Houzhao.

"Xu Xun, the first emperor has always been deeply committed to you, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he even let you shoulder the heavy responsibility of going to Xuanfu to fight the Tartars, and you yourself fought for your own strength and came back with great achievements, but the more this is the case, the more careful you must be. The emperor is young, but you have to be sensible, do you know what ugly things are said outside? You are clearly talented and promoted, if others say that you are relied on...... Leaned on ......"

Empress Dowager Zhang had only heard of those pickled things before, but she really wanted to say it at this time, but she found that she couldn't find the words, and two red glows flew over her cheeks in one moment. At this time, Xu Xun left his seat and stood up and said: "The Queen Mother's admonition, the minister will keep it in mind." It's just that the Queen Mother Mingjian, there are ministers in and out of the palace, but to say that they are with the emperor, it is far less than when they were in Xiyuan, why were there no such rumors at that time? Sooner or later, there is no sooner rather than later, but at this time, it is not that the minister is extremely suspicious, and the clips of the ministers asking for merit for the soldiers will be deliberately pulled out of the folds, and this kind of rumor of catching the wind and catching the shadow is even easier! ”

Seeing Xu Xun's righteous indignation, Empress Dowager Zhang immediately hesitated. Looking at Xu Xun carefully, she saw that this young man, who was a little thin and immature when she first saw it, has now gone through all kinds of tempering, not only has he jumped a lot taller, but his physique also looks strong, and he doesn't look like a person who will do that kind of shameless deed, she can't help but bite her lip lightly, and she didn't speak for a while. At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who was on the side, gritted his teeth and said: "Queen Mother, who is running to talk nonsense, you tell Erchen, Erchen has to let him know that he is powerful!" ”

"Forget it, since you all say it's gossip, they're just a reminder, so don't dwell on it."

Although Empress Dowager Zhang also planned to call Li Rong and the three of them to knock and beat well, thinking about Zhu Houzhao's overreaction, she naturally wouldn't show her tone now, and immediately lowered her face and said: "It's good to take care of you, and you will have a few more eyes to do things in the future, and if this kind of thing happens today, even if you are the emperor, I have to go to Fengxian Hall to worship your father, and then teach you a good lesson!" ”

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, then looked at Xu Xun again and said, "And you." The emperor is now being elected, and I heard that you have not yet decided to get married? If there is a wife in the house, and there are children by then, how can there be no such messy words! You are still young, and now the emperor is about to use you greatly, and you are the one who suffers from a bad reputation! ”

Empress Dowager Zhang went around and around, and finally turned the topic to this, and sat back in Jindun to sit on the front of Xu Xun, who had been waiting for this stubble for a long time, stood up immediately, but this time she lifted her robe again and knelt down, and said solemnly: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, Ranchen once decided to have a family affair back then, and unfortunately annihilated people, and she did not hesitate to jump into the Qinhuai River to commit suicide Mingzhi ......"

Zhu Houzhao didn't want Xu Xun to hit the snake with the stick, so he brought out this stubble at this time, his eyes blinked and his buttocks twisted there, and the annoyance in his heart was mentioned. However, glaring at Xu Xun viciously, listening to him revisit the old things of the past, he was very eloquent, and the story he had already heard once was revisited again, and there was still a thrilling tragedy, and he couldn't help but shake his heart for a while. Sure enough, it was the first time that Empress Dowager Zhang had heard of such a thing, and when Xu Xun told her about the past, she couldn't hide her low exclamation several times, and when she heard the jump on the Wende Bridge, she let out a long sigh.

"What a strong girl, what a pity."

Empress Dowager Zhang's maiden entered the palace, from the crown princess to the queen to the queen mother, but because her husband was more dedicated than the ordinary rich man, she only loved her peony in the crowd, so her surname still had a bit of the surname of the year. And Xu Xun said that Shen Yue had sent warnings several times, and she sighed more and more at such a heavy and righteous act, and in the end, when Xu Xun said that he had made it clear to the Yue family that he would recognize that Shen girl as his first match, she was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded considerately.

"She is affectionate, you are righteous, this is really rare...... It's just that you can't delay it for a lifetime like this, and besides, you are a young hero, even if you continue the string, countless people are willing. ”

said such a thing sincerely in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang, Xu Xun remembered the story of Jinling back then, but he was not only complacent, but an indescribable fear - at that time, he was really forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, and he was a white wolf with empty gloves again and again, and if he failed this time, it would be all over - of course, this time in Xuanfu too, let the sunshine road not take the single-plank bridge, is he born an adventure lover? When Empress Dowager Zhang mentioned such a sentence, he was already a little distracted just now, but he shook his head.

"Queen Mother, the minister and the Yue family set up a mound for Miss Shen before, but when the minister went north, he heard that someone had rescued a woman on the waterway from the Qinhuai River to the outside of the city, so he has been investigating the matter. If there is no news, the minister will not be able to get married, and my father agreed. The first emperor and the queen mother have been in love for decades, and they must be able to understand the minister's intentions. ”

Xu Xun's deep affection immediately blocked back the words that Empress Dowager Zhang came to her mouth - Zhu Hou reported the progress to her from time to time after the election, and when it was initially decided, three people would be finally selected, one queen and two concubines - as a mother, she really hopes that her son will have more sons and grandchildren, and stop being the same as herself. However, she has such an attitude towards her son, and she has a different view of her courtiers. For example, Li Dongyang Xie Qian is more in love with his wife than those ministers with wives and concubines.

So, a little smile appeared on her face, and she nodded happily: "It's hard for you to have such a heart." However, your father is only your son, and you should not wait too long, preferably for three years. By the way, I heard that your father is not yet fifty now? How can you succeed if there is no one in charge of housework in the dignified uncle's house, not to mention that you have also been knighted, and when the time comes, he will open another mansion, won't he be deserted? If you don't continue the strings, you should also take a room to serve the living ......"

Empress Dowager Zhang never cared about the minister's family affairs, and at this time, when she talked about Xu Xun's father in Xu Xun's family, Zhu Houzhao's eyes on the side were as big as copper bells. When Empress Dowager Zhang finally let the two of the monarchs and ministers come out, as soon as Zhu Houzhao walked out of Kunning Gate, he immediately pressed his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked back at Jia Shichun, who was still kneeling under his head, and then gave Xu Xun a thumbs up with a smile.

"Sure enough, it's high, I have to learn more from you in the future! The queen mother was angry like that before, but she couldn't be a matchmaker for you just now, and she almost had to be a matchmaker for your father! ”

Liu Jin was also among those who were dismissed just now, and when he heard Zhu Houzhao say that there was such a change in it, he couldn't help but be amazed. When Zhu Houzhao asked him to send Xu Xun out of the palace, walking on the road, he rolled his eyes and whispered: "Brother Xu, it's just a matchmaker for you, but you still have to think a lot about being a matchmaker for Ling Zun." If you want me to say, just find a beautiful concubine who knows cold and hot, don't find a little mother for yourself, even Miss Shen is uncomfortable in the future! ”

When he said this, Xu Xun suddenly came to his senses, and thanked him with a smile, and then said: "Father-in-law Liu, things are like this today, you have to give me a breath." ”

"Of course!" A fierce light flashed in Liu Jin's eyes, but his face became more and more smiling, "I just need to take more eye medicine in front of the emperor to see how long their old guys can last!" ”
