There are no less than a dozen eunuchs in the ceremonial eunuchs, among them, Fu Rong and Zheng Qiang, who served as the garrison of Nanjing, must first hang the name of the celebrant eunuch before they are released, which is basically a common practice. And among these eunuchs, only the one with the word Bingbi is the real henchman of the Son of Heaven. Chen Kuan's qualifications are similar to those of Xiao Jing and Li Rong, but the difference in age is only a star and a half, and the people who go out of the palace to pass the decree don't easily need him, even a big guy like Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and he can't see his face when he is idle. However, at this moment, this person appeared in the Hou Mansion of Shouning, and just now he was not willing to wait even for a moment, and even the chief butler of the Hou Mansion who wanted to delay at the beginning was severely reprimanded.

"Chen Kuan, I've only been out for a long time, why did you report to God so quickly!" Zhu Houzhao strode out of it, his face was very ugly, "I haven't escaped the lectures of Wenhua Hall these days, I'm just here to see my uncle, not to go elsewhere......"

Before Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Chen Kuan hurriedly stepped forward, and before he even had time to kowtow, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't talk about this for now, please go back to the palace as soon as possible......

"I'm not going back!" Zhu Houzhao was only mixed by Xu Xun's words, and as soon as Chen Kuan appeared, he asked him to go back to the palace, and he suddenly felt even more breathless, "I'm a nephew, and I sit in my uncle's house for a while, does this also violate those rules?" If that's the case, just let my father punish me! ”

If it was left in normal times, the prince kept calling himself uncle, and even willing to conflict with the emperor for himself, Zhang Heling couldn't be happy, but now that he found that Chen Kuan's face was like the bottom of a pot, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, and he hurriedly smiled and persuaded him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Gonggong Chen wants ......to come too."

"Uncle, I didn't ask you!" Zhu Houzhao glared at Zhang Heling angrily, at this time, he didn't mean to treat people as elders at all, and said angrily, "Gonggong Chen, as long as you make it clear, if this is really what my father wants, I will follow you immediately." But from now on, I will never step into the door of this Shouning Marquis Mansion again! ”

How could Chen Kuan expect that Zhu Houzhao would be stubborn at such a time, and he was in a thousand and ten thousand anxious in his heart. I had the intention to coax the prince to retire from the idle miscellaneous people and other explanations, but he had served Yingzong Xianzong and the present, but he had never met a person with a surname like Zhu Houzhao, and he was a little difficult for a while. Just as he was about to tell the truth, a voice came from behind him.

"Your Highness, please don't be anxious, Duke Chen rarely comes out when he is fair, but today he specially rushed to the Shouning Marquis Mansion, but it doesn't prove that the emperor cares deeply about His Royal Highness, so there is no meaning to be punished."

Only then did Chen Kuan find out that Xu Xun was also there. Although I don't know if this is a coincidence or arranged by Zhang Heling, he can't care about it at this moment, and he thought of a reasonable excuse along this tone, and nodded busily and said: "Yes, yes, Your Highness, the emperor was naturally extremely happy when he learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out of the palace to visit the Marquis of Shouning." It's just that the Ministry of Rites has just sent some gadgets from the foreign domain, and the emperor is ready to let His Royal Highness choose a few, and the rest will be given to the kings, so that you can go back and pick them quickly. ”

Poor Chen Kuan has served Emperor Hongzhi for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the tolerant and fair style of this son of heaven, and this is the first time he has tried to use this kind of little trick to tempt people. However, in the end, these words had some effect, and as soon as the words fell, he found that Zhu Houzhao on the other side was looking at him suspiciously, and he nodded slightly until he looked hairy.

"Forget it, then I'll trust you for once...... Liu Jin, get ready to go back to the palace! After saying this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Xun again, "Xu Xun, do a good job of training the avant-garde of the government army, don't forget what you said just now!" When we all have the ability, then we will be able to do what you just said! ”

"Yes, keep in mind." Xu Xun bowed deeply, and then said without raising his head, "I also wish His Highness that after returning to the palace, his wish will come true." ”

Until he saw Chen Kuan follow Zhu Houzhao out of the door, Xu Xun caught a glimpse of Shouning Hou Zhang Heling's face was cloudy, where did he not know that it was Zhu Houzhao who turned his face and annoyed this uncle, and as soon as he had an idea, he said to Zhang Heling: "Master Hou, it's really all up to you today!" ”

"Rely on me? Shizi, this is a joke, where is my uncle in the prince's heart! ”

Regarding Zhang Heling's indignation, Xu Xun, who had been prepared, said with a smile: "The prince was in a hurry at that time, no matter who interjected, it would definitely be unlucky, and the Hou Ye just happened to hit the head of the gun." Just now, the prince asked me about the situation of the little marquis, and learned that people are really good at firearms, and said to me proudly that he was worthy of being a child of the Zhang family, and gave him a long face, and said that when he was practiced, he would immediately ask the emperor to add his officials, and he would also reward the marquis, a father who was called a godson......"

When Xu Xun and his son left the Shouning Marquis Mansion, Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling personally sent him out of the door with a smile, where was there half a bit of anger on his face, and the joy couldn't be hidden—or he didn't want to hide it at all. And Xu Liang endured those questions and returned to his main room before he asked with a strange face: "Zhang Zong said that he is really that good?" ”

"Of course not, how can there be so many prodigal sons in this world who can turn around and make a splash?" Seeing Xu Liang's mouth open wide all of a sudden, Xu Xun smiled and said, "Dad, do you think everyone is your son?" ”

"Stinky boy!" Xu Liang slapped Xu Xun on the neck angrily, and then scolded angrily, "Then in that case, what are you boasting about in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Shou Ninghou, and you are not afraid that it will be debunked when the time comes?" ”

"I can't debunk it. I didn't say this casually, if I continue to train according to the current standardized procedures, even if Zhang Zong says that he is not the best at that time, it will definitely not be a delay. I just had to go back and tell him that I had already boasted about Haikou in front of the prince and his father, and when the time came, he would lose face, not to mention that the prince of Shouning might have to be replaced, even the anger of His Royal Highness the prince could burn him to the ends of the earth to count the stars. ”

Hearing that Xu Xun had made a decision, Xu Liangxin breathed a sigh of relief, but remembering what Zhu Houzhao blurted out earlier, he still couldn't help but be worried: "Xun'er, have you really persuaded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to change his mind?" His Highness's words were too appalling, if he really thought so......"

"Things haven't come to that point yet, Dad, you don't have to worry about it." Xu Xun said this in his mouth, but he knew in his heart that Zhu Houzhao's idea might be more than a moment and a half, and he was afraid that he had been holding it for a long time. Otherwise, when he said those words, Zhu Houzhao would not have accepted them smoothly immediately. It's just that he is not very sure what the next outcome will be.

Zhu Houzhao has a surname like this, and it is just enough to let him go to the minister and make a false contribution, but it is more difficult for him to really submit to the emperor than to ascend to the sky. It is precisely because it is his own beloved and respected father that it is difficult to tell lies perfunctory! Speaking of which, he himself is a son, and he hides a lot of things from Xu Liang...... However, unlike what Xu Xun had imagined, when Zhu Houzhao stepped into the palace and smelled the pungent smell of medicine, he stopped all of a sudden, looked sideways at Chen Kuan, and then suddenly quickened his steps and entered. It wasn't until he saw Queen Zhang standing on the edge of the bed in front of the bed that he suddenly turned into a run, and almost suddenly rushed to the bed.

"What's wrong with my father?"

Empress Zhang turned her head, only to find that Zhu Houzhao was back, however, she glanced at the head of the bed first, and then pulled Zhu Houzhao and walked out. It wasn't until she walked out of the hall through the back door that she looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "You ignorant child!" Why did Chen Kuan go for so long before you came back, do you know that your father was still calling your name when he was groggy just now? ”

Zhu Houzhao only felt five thunders for a while: "I ......"

"What am I! You were angry with your father before, and you didn't listen to me when I talked, so forget it, but your father is sick and you are still out and don't come back, what kind of filial piety are you? "Empress Zhang was originally an extremely anxious person, and today's anger and panic when she heard the news at first glance will inevitably reveal it all at this time, "Do you know that your father couldn't control the slap he gave you for a while, and what has become of regret behind his back in the past few days?" Your father was originally a man of all kinds of opportunities, and he was worried about you all night, and he got sick! Several doctors in the hospital said that half of it was wind chill, and half of it was gas, and you were too ignorant! ”

Zhu Houzhao originally still had a trace of luck, counting on his father to be just a little sick, but it can be seen that Empress Zhang became more and more angry and anxious the more she talked, and his heart gradually sank. Empress Zhang has always been the least proficient in pretending, if the father and the queen mother are acting together, how can he see the clues from the face of the queen mother, but at this time, Queen Zhang's eyes are already red, tears are rolling in her eyes, and the handkerchief she is holding is almost wrenched.

"Queen Mother......" Zhu Houzhao knelt down unconsciously, but said in a snort, "Erchen...... Erchen knew he was wrong. ”

"Say this to your father!" Empress Zhang turned her head to herself, tried her best not to look at her poor son, and said fiercely, "Unless your father forgives you, don't call me the queen mother, I don't have an unconscious son like you!" ”

"Queen Mother, don't be angry, son-in-law will go, go now!"

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly got up, turned around and rushed into the palace with a panicked face. Faced with this situation, Empress Zhang stood in place for a while, but after all, she couldn't help it, and hurriedly chased after her. It was only at this time, at the corner of the corridor, that a person poked his head out. Seeing that the mother and son were no longer visible, he showed a relieved smile.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly!
