Chapter 387: Hell
What a hell of a life!
Zhu Houzhao never thought that the queen mother would not only give it to Xu Xun and Xu Liang, but also bring it to herself. Although he immediately found all kinds of reasons to refute, and even his father, Emperor Hongzhi Emperor Yanjing, took it out as a shield, but Empress Zhang didn't have the slightest intention of relenting, but pushed Xu Xun out first, and then sank his face.
"If your father didn't think about letting you be alone as soon as possible, how could he ask the minister on his deathbed not to wait for the three-year filial piety period, and immediately choose a lady for you to get married? Besides, it's just a palace maid who teaches people, which your father also used to have back then, so that you know how to be humane first. After you set up a concubine, if you don't like it, you will send people out, it has always been such a rule. ”
Zhu Houzhao was choked by Empress Dowager Zhang's words. But what a person with such a bad taste, Li Rong took him to see hundreds of beauties they carefully selected, but he didn't like any of them, and now the Empress Dowager Zhang actually said that it was just a matter of teaching the surname, and he sent it out when he turned around, how did he feel uncomfortable thinking about it, and suddenly shouted angrily: "All in all, I don't want those vulgar fans, I don't feel happy when I look at it!" ”
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao left himself and went out directly, followed by Liu Jin's call and Xu Xun's persuasion, Empress Dowager Zhang's brows wrinkled into a big pimple for a while.
He gave someone to Xu Xun, he was obviously not interested, and he wanted to send a palace maid to Zhu Houzhao, and his son also disagreed, how could these two people be so similar? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and the more she pondered, the more uneasy she became, and in the end, she couldn't hold her breath anymore, and the surname Suo stood up. At this moment, the door was pushed open, but Zhu Houzhao walked in quietly, followed by Liu Jin.
"Queen Mother, the emperor is just thin-skinned for a while." Liu Jin explained with a haha, while stealing Zhu Houzhao's face, and said with a smile on his face, "However, the emperor and the first emperor are the same, and I can't get used to those vulgar fans who only flatter......"
Zhu Houzhao saw that Mrs. Zhang's face was uncertain, he thought about Liu Jin's persuasion and reminder just now, so he took two steps forward and pleaded with a salivating face: "Erchen doesn't ask his mother to take back his life...... Otherwise, there are so many people around the queen mother, let the sons choose one by themselves? He was also just beaten up by Liu Jin outside, and then he remembered that he could justifiably ask people to come to his side, and when he said it at this time, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
However, since Empress Dowager Zhang was suspicious, she couldn't help but feel that Zhu Houzhao's attitude of turning 360 degrees was really unsettling, so she said lightly: "Since you don't want to, then put this matter aside for the time being." I'm tired too, go back to the palace! ”
Empress Dowager Zhang seemed to be very enthusiastic just now, but at this time, she was so excited that Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned, and Liu Jin was secretly so anxious that she stomped her feet. And Xu Xun, who didn't follow up outside the door, was where he could take care of the little emperor, and was urgently thinking about how he should avoid this hurdle. It wasn't until the Empress Dowager Zhang took the lead out of the house that he reacted, and when he looked up, he found that the eyes of the lord of the six palaces were very strange, but before he could explain anything, the Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly walked straight downstairs, and even Zhu Houzhao left behind him and ignored it.
"It's good now, the queen mother is angry!" Zhu Houzhao punched the wall with a bang in annoyance, and then glared at Xu Xun and said, "You are usually such a clever person, and you didn't remind me when you were in it just now!" If I had thought of the method Liu Jin mentioned, wouldn't this be a bad thing and a good thing? Alas, miss this village, when will there be that shop! ”
"The matter is related to the minister's lifelong event, and the minister was confused at that time, where did he want to get so much. Besides, the emperor can still turn good things into bad things, what can the ministers do? ”
Seeing Xu Xun's rare distressed look, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, and immediately patted Xu Xun's shoulder considerately: "It's okay, it's okay, my affairs have been put aside for the time being, there is no reason to stare at you, you are a foreign minister, and the queen mother lives deep in the palace beyond the reach of the whip." Alas, really, the good queen mother actually gave birth to such an idea, which is really a headache......"
This time he went out, Xu Xun didn't go home until the evening, his face was quite ugly, but he actually collided with Xu Liang at the gate. Although there was something in his heart, Xu Xun saw Xu Liang hanging his arm at first glance, this surprise was not trivial, and other things were immediately thrown out of the clouds, and he immediately stepped forward and asked with an eager face: "Dad, it's okay to go out in the morning, what's the matter with your arm?" ”
Hell yes, why is Daddy like this?
"Don't mention it, the hero didn't mention the courage of the year, and he competed with Jingyang Bo in the stone lock, but a horse lost his front hoof and twisted his arm." Xu Liang saw Xu Xun's angry face, and he hurriedly explained, "Uncle Jingyang originally wanted to send me back, but I was careless and embarrassed to trouble people, so I stopped him alive." It's just a little thing, just rub some medicine and wine and rest for a few days, it's not a big deal, don't look at that face, people think something big happened to your father and me when they see it. ”
"Daddy! Are you still afraid that I will knock on the door and trouble Shenying? ”
Xu Xun was angry and funny, but Xu Liang rushed to say everything he had to say, and he could only watch Xu Liang enter the door with one hand. Waiting for the horse to reach the second gate, he jumped off the horse without saying a word, and went to Xu Liang's mount to help, seeing that the father just threw off his hand and jumped down neatly, stronger than him, a young man, he couldn't help but shake his head, and could only helplessly hold the person's arm and go in, all the way and said: "Dad, you are so old, the stone lock is a thing that young people play, you still don't touch it less, twisting your arm is finally good to recuperate, but if you miss something, it won't be fun." I just didn't hit anyone...... It's not good to smash some flowers and plants. ”
When Xu Liang heard the last sentence, he saw that Xu Xun was already joking, and he choked and coughed several times for a while. When he returned to the house, he saw that Xu Xun was asked to fetch hot water, and he was looking for medicine and wine to ask for cotton cloth, and for a while the chickens and dogs were jumping up and down in the house, he had to put out his father's shelf, and drank this son who was too filial, and rejected Zhu Ying's proposal to ask for a doctor, and finally Suo surnamed Suo bombarded the girls.
"You will toss, now the whole house is alarmed!"
"Just rely on your father to go back to the house with your arms hanged, and you will know all over the capital, let alone the Manchu Mansion?" Xu Xun smiled and went back, and when he saw that Xu Liang was a little embarrassed, he sat on the opposite side, and then said with a smile, "Now Daddy, you are a fragrant bait in the eyes of others, this injury, I don't know how many people want to come to the door to ask for warmth, this proposal is more natural." Hey, throughout the ages, there has almost never been a mention of Lao Tzu in front of his son, and the partiality is still very serious. ”
Xu Liang's face suddenly became a little unnatural: "What are those people doing!" ”
"Dad, since the news of me having a yuan match has been released, the people who have proposed marriage to you have surpassed me...... If you don't have an explanation, those civil officials are the best at picking bones in eggs these days, and if the crime of unfilial piety is pressed down, I won't be able to eat and walk around. Seeing that Xu Liang was silent for a moment, Xu Xun sighed and said, "If you want these troubles alone, then forget it, the Queen Mother also mentioned that she wants to give two people from the palace, one for each of us." ”
Xu Liang thought that Xu Xun was joking at first, and he didn't mean to joke at all when he saw his son, but he immediately understood the seriousness of this matter, and gasped for a while. Even if there is already a housewife in the family, it is conceivable how troublesome the woman from the palace is, not to mention that the two masters in the family are singles, in case someone moves their brains...... "Dad, I still have Yue'er, although this matter is tricky, but I already have some ideas, planning and planning, it is not too difficult for the Queen Mother to take back her life, but on your side, I can't overstep my responsibilities as a son." Taking advantage of Empress Dowager Zhang's whim today, Xu Xun said sincerely, "After all, you are not yet fifty now." ”
Xu Liang was silent for a long time before he sighed: "That's it, since you have an idea about Yue'er's affairs, make it down as soon as possible, so as to save you a lot of dreams at night." When your marriage is decided, let's ask for a seal for your mother, go back to Jinling, and bury her bones in the capital. After all, the ancestral grave of the Heung'anbo family has always been in Gyeonggi. She has never enjoyed happiness in her life, and she never thought that I would be where I am today. She didn't enjoy my blessings in her life, and now she can't be wronged anymore. Moreover, Yue'er always has to return to the Shen family to remarry. ”
"Then I'll listen to my father."
Xu Xun nodded, and did not persuade again. After taking the medicine wine and cotton cloth back into the medicine box, he walked to the door with the box in his arms, and as soon as he opened the door, a gust of wind actually carried the rain on the pavement, and at this time, he found that the already dark sky was completely dark. When he was hurriedly closing the door, Xu Liang appeared behind him.
"Fortunately, there is such a rain, otherwise I would have to be nagged for a long time to kill people in autumn today! Although it is not necessary to do anything without rain for thirteen years and one winter, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and the slightest omen will be exaggerated ten times and a hundred times. By the way, today Shenying told me a thing, saying that the Tailing Xuangong will be completed in a month, but during this period, he once dug a spring in the golden well. This matter was concealed by the eunuch Li Xing, the supervisor of the work, but Jingyang Bo Shenying was not in agreement with Yang Ziqi, the director of the Ministry of Officials who had previously gone to Tailing, and Yang Ziqi returned to Beijing yesterday, saying that he was going to play this matter, and he didn't listen to how he persuaded people, and he couldn't cover it, so he didn't know when it would make a fuss. ”
The Xuan Palace is about to be repaired, this matter has only been exposed, and it is really necessary to investigate, the mausoleum and so on must all be rebuilt, so that the personnel who are responsible for the site selection and supervision of the front are small, and the huge expenses are big. Therefore, Xu Xun frowned slightly and asked, "What does that Shenying mean?" ”
"Li Xing is the person who Liu Jin protects, and Shenying and Liu Jin also have some contacts, knowing that Yang Ziqi's situation is mostly a meat bun beating a dog and there is no return, so please do me a favor, in case he really shouts out, at least save his life. Shenying also said that this Yang Ziqi is a famous, upright and outspoken person among the six departments, and he is as famous as Li Mengyang. ”
"Oh?" Another artillery battle that explodes at one point?
Xu Xun thought that Yang Ziqi was the head of the ministry, and maybe there was something available, so he pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, when my father sees Shenying, I might as well tell him, so that he doesn't have to worry, I will answer this matter." ”
It's just that if he wants to take care of other people's affairs, he has to clean up his own troubles first!
