Chapter 326: Shaojun's childish heart
"Your Majesty, great joy, great joy!"
After Liu Jin trotted into the main hall of Chengqian Palace, his mouth was full of joy. Seeing Zhu Houzhao raise his head and look at him with a smile, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, and then said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Lord Xu led the army to victory, and the documents for reporting the victory have been sent to the celebrant supervisor!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jin found that Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed in auspicious clothes, did not have any surprised expression, and was not as excited as he thought, but smiled hesitantly: "You are late in the news, Gu Dayong came to report it early in the morning!" I heard that it was an urgent report that the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town had just sent back from Datong, and I was about to go to the Fengxian Hall to worship my father. You've come just in time, go together! ”
Knowing that Gu Dayong had come to report the good news first, but he didn't know it, a trace of gloom flashed on Liu Jin's face, but he disappeared immediately. Seeing Zhu Houzhao get down from the couch and stretch his shoes with a big lazy waist, he hurriedly stepped forward and half-knelt to serve and put on his shoes, and then said babblingly: "It's all the blessings of the first emperor, the emperor is blessed with all the blessings, this can have such a rare victory, if the first emperor knows in the spirit of the sky, I don't know how happy I will be...... The slave maid felt that her eyes were sour when she thought about it, if the first emperor could see it with his own eyes, then it would ......"
"Say no more!" Zhu Houzhao sniffed vigorously, his eyes were already a little red, and he blinked his eyes a few times before shouting at Liu Jin in annoyance, "Which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, a good happy event, you will make me sad!" Don't bother, let's go! ”
"Yes, yes...... But when the emperor went to the first hall, he wore such a dress? ”
"I know what you want to say, I am serving filial piety, but with such good news, wouldn't it be obvious to go to see my father in such a sad and graceful dress? What does this sadness and sorrow have to do with clothes, those old men will go with them! If you can't go, if you don't go, I'll go alone! ”
"Let's go, of course the slave and maid will follow, and the slave and maid also have something to confide in the first emperor!"
If you really want to go to the Fengxian Palace, of course, not only the two monarchs and ministers, but also the inner servants and the little fire people at the back are added together, and there are more than ten or twenty of them. This mighty group of people arrived in front of Fengxian Palace, but Zhu Houzhao left everyone except Liu Jin outside, and took Liu Jin all the way in.
Although according to the rules, it should be an ancestor who worships him, but Zhu Houzhao has always been the most impatient with those rituals, he was born during the Hongzhi period, and he has never even seen his grandfather, let alone those older ancestors? So, he went straight to the room where Emperor Hongzhi was enshrined, and as soon as he entered, he quickly walked to the futon in front of the god and knelt down, and kowtowed eight times in one breath.
"Father, the son has come to see you!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and tears actually swirled in his eyes: "Father, Xu Xun won a big victory, I heard that the head of the Tartar was cut off by thousands, he is really good, you and your sons are not wrong!" Those ministers still keep saying that he is young, if he hadn't boldly led the troops to attack this time, Baoguo Gong still didn't know how long to drag out the war, and the old man Hanwen complained every day, and the ministers were about to lose it! ”
Speaking of this in one breath, Zhu Houzhao finally paused, just raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, and sniffed hard, then forced a smile: "Father, the son only now knows that this emperor is not so easy to be." So many people are muttering in their ears all day long, don't do this, don't do that, everything has rules, everything has laws, it's really the most boring thing in the world!
But Erchen didn't want to listen to their instructions, no matter whether he could turn around or not, Erchen wanted to give it a try. Erchen doesn't have the same good temper as your father, and he can't tolerate those long-winded, this time when Xu Xun returns to Beijing, Erchen has to send away a few of the most jumpy officials, and promote a few people by the way...... That's right, this time Lao Miao Kui is very good, he actually went to help Xu Xun with Chen Xiong, and Yang Yiqing...... Zhang Yong chose this person well, and it was the first time that Erchen knew that there were still people like him who could lead troops among the civil officials! ”
Liu Jin knelt five or six steps behind Zhu Houzhao, although he knew that Zhu Houzhao would definitely not be able to see, but he still knelt upright with his back straight, but his ears were pricked up to listen to Zhu Houzhao's every word, and when he heard the names of Miao Kui and Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, his eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly. At this time, Zhu Houzhao's last sentence floated to his ears again.
"However, father, what kind of official did you say that your son would give Xu Xun a good title? He is already the son of Xing'anbo, but Xing'anbo is not yet fifty, and his muscles and bones are so good, and his sons plan to use his father...... Why don't you just give him a knighthood? But it seems that no son has crossed Lao Tzu's reasoning, or he will be crowned an earl? But what is the uncle...... Shachengbo doesn't sound very imposing, or he ...... Pingyu."
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was racking his brains to think about this, as if he was discussing with Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jin was angry and funny for a while, but there was bitterness in his heart. Knowing that this trip was really so easy, he should have made a decision like Zhang Yong and went with him, and at that time, the credit would naturally come to him, and the ministers would have no reason to say anything. Now that Zhang Yong is coming back this time, it will inevitably be a rising tide, even if the other party is only aiming for the imperial horse supervisor and military exploits, it can be said that it will be a long time, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.
Zhu Houzhao said while looking at the handwriting on the god, and unconsciously he was already stupid. Remembering that his father taught him to write in the past, he was angry and patiently explained those great truths to himself, and took his mobile phone to Qionghua Island to climb Banzai Mountain, and when he ate with his mother and him, he smiled and gave him his favorite dishes...... He didn't realize that he was already choked with tears streaming down his face, and his voice was getting drier and drier.
"Father, can you take another look at your sons? Erchen really doesn't want to be the emperor of Laoshizi, he just wants you to be able to come back alive...... The time Erchen saw the queen mother secretly wiping her tears in the imperial garden, she must have missed you very much...... Erchen didn't move into Qianqing Palace, Erchen felt that it should only be yours, and no one else should move in, just like Kunning Palace is the queen mother, I don't want her to move to Cining Palace to live ......"
Previously, Zhu Houzhao had also made various sacrifices for Emperor Hongzhi in accordance with the etiquette system, but there were countless outsiders present, even if he was sad, he couldn't say anything in his heart, there was only one Liu Jin at this time, and he was naturally unrestrained. He couldn't go on, and he fell to the ground with his surname, and tears fell on the green bricks on the ground, and before he knew it, he was wet. In a daze, he vaguely felt that someone was helping him up, while comforting, he wiped his face with a handkerchief, and saw that it was Liu Jin, and he asked for his surname and shed tears next to someone.
"I am the emperor, I am the Son of Heaven, but what's the use of this, I can't save my father! I'm really useless...... I regret it, why was I so ignorant back then, I should not have been angry with my father if I had known this......"
"Your Majesty, don't say such things!" Regarding Zhu Houzhao's true feelings in front of him, Liu Jin was happy and worried, happy that the emperor still regarded himself as his most confidant after all, and worried that Zhu Houzhao was so emotional, if others figured out this temper in the future, they were very likely to take advantage of this. So, he settled down and said, "The emperor has only been on the throne for more than a month, and he has done several big things, and this Wenhua Hall has been praised by everyone in the ministers, and this big victory is rare for many years, if you are useless, how many people will be ashamed?" As for the death of the first emperor, it was the sin of those quacks, why did the emperor take it from himself? ”
"That's what you said...... Zhu Houzhao wiped his face with a handkerchief, and suddenly clenched it tightly, "By the way, I almost forgot, did those people kill or not?" Min Jue was procrastinating before, if he dares to delay it again this time, don't think about being a criminal department secretary anymore! ”
"Yes, yes, the emperor said that if he didn't let him be, he wouldn't let him be a ......"
Liu Jin coaxed Zhu Houzhao like a child, and it was easy for people to raise some spirits. Sitting cross-legged with Zhu Houzhao up, he slammed his head a few times at the god of Emperor Hongzhi, and then said respectfully with his hand: "First Emperor, although you are no longer there, the slave will definitely take good care of the emperor, keep an eye on the people outside for the emperor, and help the emperor guard the Ming Dynasty, and never let people fool the emperor." You have a spirit in the sky, please bless the emperor without illness and disaster, if there is anything that can't escape, then it will all fall on the slave and maid to take it for you......"
Seeing Liu Jin babbling a lot, Zhu Houzhao was a little funny at first, but he couldn't help but be moved in his heart when he listened to it, and finally saw that Liu Jin, who was a lot older, was holding his knees and wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up, so he stepped forward and helped him. Seeing Liu Jin apologizing with fear on his face, he patted Liu Jin's shoulder with a smile.
"You've been with me for so many years, what's this little thing? I still expect you to live a long life with me for the rest of your life! Okay, without further ado, let's say goodbye to our father, and it's time to prepare for the next thing! Hmm, you just came to report that the report document was sent to the celebrant? Let them show me, and when the time comes, I will let the whole world know that the people I use are the most powerful, and let them know the benefits of following me! ”
When Liu Jin helped Zhu Houzhao out of the Fengxian Palace, and then returned to the Chengqian Palace with all the servants of the small fire, the news quickly spread to the cabinet in the northeast corner of the imperial city. Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian have also reported the news from Jinyiwei, originally surprised and happy, but at this time, they learned that the emperor went to Fengxian Hall in auspicious clothes, and his face was not so good-looking.
"Great merit is rewarded, but hidden dangers must also be guarded against, otherwise the emperor's freewheeling surname will be annihilated by these people again, and I don't know where it will go! I heard that those eunuchs often take the emperor to play in the West Garden, and let the little firefighters play sumo wrestling, and bring in the messy teams outside, which is really ridiculous! ”
