In the East Warm Pavilion of Chengqian Palace, Zhu Hou looked at the pile of clips that Liu Jin specially retrieved, and looked at it attentively. In addition to the battle events that Xu Xun had already told him, there was also the meritorious deeds of the people who were promoted.

Shenying's old man is strong, Yang Yiqing's suspicious tactics, and Qian Ning's art master is bold...... Even Zhang Jun, the general of the Xuanfu Army, the general of the defeated army, Xu Xun did not hesitate to describe it in great detail, and as for Wu Dahai, Da Niu and others under his command, they were mentioned one by one. The list of other meritorious soldiers is naturally not recorded in a few clips, according to Xu Xun here, those have been sent to the general army of Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo.

"Liu Jin." Zhu Houzhao shouted, and when he saw Liu Jin immediately approaching and bowing down, he suddenly asked, "You say, why did Xu Xun suddenly resign from Jinyi Guard in front of the public today, why didn't he say anything in front of me before?" ”

Although this proposal that Xu Xun take charge of the brocade clothes guard was the first thing Liu Jin said to Zhu Houzhao, but when he heard Liu Jian say that in front of the emperor today, he muttered a little in his heart. At this moment, he pondered in his heart for a moment, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid was strange before, but she just ran to the celebrant and couldn't help but think a little bit...... I heard that Lord Xu and Ye Guang had some affection when they were in Jinling, and when they first arrived in Beijing, Lord Ye also took care of him, so Xu Xun was not happy to grab someone else's seat because of this. The slave maid didn't think about it for a while, and gave the slave maid an idea, maybe she was fooled by Liu Ge Lao and a few of them. ”

"It turns out that this is what he meant, no wonder he refused to thank him before, and he will wait for Wenhua Hall to discuss it."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized, and his right hand suddenly clenched into a fist and smashed on the armrest: "Fortunately, he was not fooled, fortunately you found this clip, fortunately, I haven't had time to listen to people's slander!" It turns out that they want to press the credit of so many people! As soon as the little emperor said this, Huo Ran stood up and said word by word, "This celebrant should be replaced by a group of people, and it is really despicable and shameless to do things!" ”

was able to make Zhu Houzhao say the four words despicable and shameless, and Liu Jin was happy to mention it in his heart, but this time he cautiously did not echo it. It wasn't until Zhu Houzhao finally sat down a little angry that he said playfully: "But the slave maid has another thing to ask the emperor, or to ask the emperor on behalf of Lord Xu." ”

"Oh? If he doesn't come to me for his own business, he still wants you to come out? Zhu Houzhao threw all the anger he had just now into Java, and immediately asked curiously, "What's the matter, hurry up and say, if I can agree, I will never return the ticket." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Jin smiled and bent one leg to salute, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao glaring at him with his eyes, he immediately stood up with interest and slapped his face twice. Outside the door, a small fireman wearing a small black gauze hat and a green regimental collar shirt with no pattern on his chest and back came into the room, and knelt down and kowtowed a few steps away from the couch, and then fell to the ground silently. At this time, Liu Jin explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this little guy's name is Ruisheng, and he was originally a servant who served Xu Xun. When he was in Jinling, he was exposed to be castrated by his father, and he also caused a lot of trouble for Xu Xun for a while. ”

"Oh, it's Xu Xun's side?" Zhu Houzhao leaned forward according to the armrest, drank Rayson and looked up, and saw that the little guy was about the same age as himself, and he was born neatly, so he asked a few words, and found that Latham had a sentence of answer and did not go out of line, only when it came to Xu Xun, his expression was a little different, and he couldn't help laughing, "Xu Xun is a person with a belly of ideas, I didn't expect to use such a simple and well-behaved servant as you." That's it, you just follow me, and then someone will bully you and tell me! ”

In the past, Ruisheng only sent Xiao Jing to the front of the Chengqian Palace, although Zhu Houzhao, the little emperor, had not seen it, but it was the first time to talk back at such a close distance, and he was so nervous just now. At this time, seeing that the Son of Heaven was so good at talking, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and after thanking him, he actually said in a ghostly manner: "The young master said that as long as the little one listens to the emperor's words and listens to the words of Liu Gonggong, no one will dare to bully the little one." ”

When Liu Jin heard that he was actually tied with the emperor, he couldn't help but glance at Zhu Houzhao, and saw that the little emperor didn't think it was angry at all, but asked Xu Xun what else he ordered with great interest. ”

"Isn't it boring to be too honest?"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin making fun of him, Ruisheng looked at this and that with his eyes from time to time, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't show his hand when he first met Xiao Jing - Xu Xun and Xiao Jing had repeatedly instructed him before, without their orders, he would never be allowed to force out. So, when Kunning Palace sent someone to say that he was inviting the emperor over, Zhu Houzhao beckoned to him, and he immediately followed behind.

According to the usual practice, since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne as the emperor and was promoted to the empress dowager, the queen mother should move to Qingning Palace, and the empress dowager Zhang, who was promoted to the empress dowager, should move to Renshou Palace, but the queen mother moved, but Zhu Houzhao, who became the emperor, insisted on refusing to live in the Qianqing Palace on the grounds that he couldn't bear to move because he was grief-stricken, and insisted that the Empress Dowager Zhang continue to live in the Kunning Palace. After all, compared with the Renshou Palace, which reminded her all the time that she had become a widow, Empress Dowager Zhang naturally preferred Kunning Palace, where she had lived for nearly twenty years.

It's just that she is now in mourning, and those conspicuous furnishings are inevitably removed, and the laughter and laughter that Emperor Hongzhi often brings are almost inaudible, even if those female officials and palace maids in the past give her careful maintenance, but in just two or three months, the fine lines at the corners of her eyebrows have become much more obvious, and when she saw Zhu Houzhao coming in excitedly, a smile appeared on her face who was often in a daze recently.

"Queen Mother!"

"It's all the people who are emperors, and they're still so frizzy!" Pulling Zhu Houzhao, who was trotting over, to sit down beside her, Empress Dowager Zhang ordered someone to wring a towel, and wiped Zhu Houzhao on his face and forehead with her own hands, and then said angrily, "You might as well come slowly on a hot day, you are in such a hurry, what if you fall?" ”

"Queen Mother, Erchen is not a child anymore!"

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao raised her voice, Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head angrily: "In the eyes of the queen mother, you are a child!" Since you're here, use a chilled white fungus soup first, and then talk...... Don't make trouble, this is a good product to beat the heat, the queen mother and the queen mother are used every day! ”

"Sweet and greasy, what's so good ......"

Although he muttered in his mouth, when the palace maid really gave the white fungus soup, Zhu Houzhao still drank it all with a hard head. Although it was so sweet that it tickled his throat, it was chilled after all, and the taste was not bad. Taking advantage of his efforts to smash his mouth while drinking, Empress Dowager Zhang gave a look, and a female official came in and took Liu Jin and Ruisheng and other entourages down. At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang carefully looked at Zhu Houzhao, and wanted to speak several times but stopped talking, and only asked a sentence after a while.

"Houzhao, I heard that you have seen Xu Xun in Chengqian Palace again in the past few days?"

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Houzhao replied vaguely, and then put down the bowl and said, "Aren't I afraid that others will be verbose, otherwise I will go to Xing'anbo Mansion." ”

Yes, this is actually the emperor who wants to keep a low profile!

The corners of Empress Dowager Zhang's mouth couldn't help twitching, and then she slowed down again and asked in a tone of voice: "But this Chengqian Palace is an inner palace after all...... Don't talk about Chengqian Palace, it's Qianqing Palace, and you don't summon foreign ministers when you're free, don't you see your father and emperor see ministers, all in Wenhua Palace? He is young, ambitious, and talented, and you trust him well, but if he is too close, it is inevitable that there will be gossip......"

As soon as the word gossip came out, Zhu Houzhao jumped up suddenly, glared at the Empress Dowager Zhang and asked, "What gossip?" ”

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's huge reaction, Empress Dowager Zhang, who wanted to be tactful just now, took a deep breath and had to take a fierce medicine, and Suo surnamed said with a straight face: "What gossip?" If you are the emperor, you have to look like the king of a country, and you should also study the majesty of your father, and you should always have a little respect for the old people in the court and the palace, and leave them some dignity. If you want to promote a newcomer, you have to take it slowly. You must know that you have not yet married, but you often summon a minister of the same age as you, and there are already some very unpleasant words in the palace, not to mention the unclear ...... outside the palace."

Zhu Houzhao's face became more and more blue the more he listened, and in a fit of anger, he suddenly picked up the porcelain bowl on the table that had just finished drinking the white fungus soup, fell to the ground, and then shouted angrily: "These bastards!" If I knew who dared to chew my tongue behind my back, I would chop him alive! ”

Empress Dowager Zhang was taken aback by the bang, and then she was deeply annoyed. She has always been a person with a small surname, her husband used to be spoiled, and the mother-in-law and mother-in-law above couldn't help her, so in the face of Zhu Houzhao's overly excited reaction, the first action she took when she came back to her senses was to slap the table.

"Nonsense, what are you trying to do!"

"Mother, I tell you that I am a serious man, not one of those sissies who play those disgusting things!"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao rushing out in stride, Empress Dowager Zhang only felt that her throat was blocked in a panic, and it took a long time before she asked, "You come back, where are you going!" ”

"I went to prove to my mother that I am a normal man!"

Seeing the angry figure disappear outside the door curtain, Empress Dowager Zhang's heart suddenly had an extremely bad premonition. Her son has always done things unexpectedly, what is he going to do this time?
