In the golden hall of the court, every day I listen to the ministers and officials shouting long live, "long live" has become a slogan for thousands of years, and it is too fake to be a slogan, and Emperor Hongzhi has never taken it seriously.

However, Zhu Houzhao's sentence "Father should never get old" made Emperor Hongzhi cry like rain.

He knew that this was a truth, the purest and most sincere wish in his son's heart, only his son could tell the truth, and Emperor Hongzhi only believed in his son's words.

Unfortunately, the truest words are often the most unrealistic.

Both father and son know that their father will not grow old forever, and he will eventually say goodbye to his children one day, sooner or later. Both those who plead and those who promise unconsciously escape this unforgiving reality.

On this night, the father and son had a very happy time, they did not remember how long they had walked in the inner palace, they could not remember how many words they had spoken, they could not remember how many times they laughed, and how many times they shed tears.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that a knot had untied in his heart, the last knot in his life.

As long as his son is sensible, what else is he worried about? Worried about what? What about the crisis in the Ming Dynasty? What about the erosion of the military system? What about the devastation of the community?

I have a sensible son! My son is stronger than me, and under his rule, the Ming Dynasty will be even better than Hongzhi!

That's enough.

Death is also blind.

***************************************************************

The story of the prince of the East Palace, Xingye, making soup for his father, spread the next day.

Countless ministers knelt on the Golden Palace and cried, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were very emotional, whether it was good or bad, they all liked to cry a nose, howl a few times, and use this very direct way to show their true temperament. True disposition represents jealousy and hatred. It means that he is a good person, which is a way of so-called "inviting fame to buy straight".

All dynasties ruled the world with filial piety, and the Ming Dynasty was still very strong. The word filial piety can summarize all the goodness in human nature, and the prince makes soup for his father, which has undoubtedly become the best interpretation of the word "filial piety".

Sincerely, or falsely. The ministers were very moved, the golden palace congratulated the emperor in unison, the future Ming monarch has a benevolent monarch, the cabinet three elders cried tears, the scholar and the crown prince Xie Qian wiped his tears and respectfully asked the Hongzhi Emperor to make the prince soup with the palace painter added to the "Holy Merit Map".

The so-called "Shenggong Tu" is a set of illustrated books dedicated by Zheng Ji, the then Taichang Temple Qing in the eighth year of Hongzhi, which is similar to a comic book, which describes in detail thousands of years of Shengming monarchs in the past dynasties when they were young. A typical example of filial piety and respect for elders, it can be described as the earliest youth inspirational comic strip in history.

At that time, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao was only six years old, and Zheng Ji's intention in presenting this book was to stimulate the prince's interest. Be inspired by it. And follow suit, and be a holy monarch in the future.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard Xie Qian's suggestion. Immediately echoed and agreed with one voice, the glorious deeds of the prince's benevolence and filial piety should be passed on to future generations, so that future generations will know that the Dao Daming family has such a touching and profound true story, which can make the world's scholars more and more attentive, and the people more obedient and admirable.

Emperor Hongzhi's mood is obviously very good, his face is much better, listening to the ministers of the palace praise the prince, than hearing the praise of his own Wencheng martial virtue, Emperor Hongzhi has always heard the most, is the ministers in front of the chatter how the prince is how stubborn, how absurd, today's praise of the Manchu Dynasty is a happiness that he has never experienced.

Sitting on the dragon chair in the Golden Palace, Emperor Hongzhi has a sense of pleasure with his eyebrows raised, at this moment he is just an ordinary and ordinary father, he hopes that his son can be recognized by the whole world, he doesn't mind that he is old or dead, as long as his bloodline can continue from generation to generation, generation after generation is stronger, he seems to live forever.

In the praise of the Manchu Dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi's mind suddenly appeared Qin Kan's quiet and gentle face, smiled and sighed slightly, and couldn't help but feel grateful to him in his heart, this gratitude was indescribable, because he was the emperor, but gratitude would always exist in his heart.

Emperor Hongzhi did not forget Zhu Houzhao's words last night, and made soup for him with his own hands, which was Qin Kan's idea.

This idea hit Emperor Hongzhi's heart hard.

is worthy of being a talented man who wrote "Caigen Tan", the prince followed him subtly, and understood a lot of people's sophistication, which is more real and important than the sages' teachings.

On this day, the early dynasty basically no one played state affairs, and the ministers praised the deeds of the prince for a long time, and Emperor Hongzhi was fully satisfied with listening to it, so he smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief, and then resolutely rejected Xie Qian's suggestion that his deeds should be recorded in the "Shenggong Tu".

Emperor Hongzhi should carefully take care of this father-son family relationship that he has been looking forward to for more than ten years, he does not want to add any political factors and hype factors to this simple family relationship, this is the only memory worthy of taste in the rest of his remaining life, he does not want to let the memories be stained with a trace of flaws and dust.

***************************************************************

Qin Mansion has one more frequent visitor.

The regular guest is very well-behaved, and he was probably scared by the Qin family's housewife, and he was very polite every time he came to the door, and he didn't dare to go on a rampage like the first time.

Qin Kan is very satisfied with Zhu Houzhao's polite performance, this child is the same as Xu Pengju, he doesn't remember to eat, he beats a few more times, and he doesn't worry about not becoming a pillar in the future, but unfortunately only Du Yan dares to do this, Qin Kan doesn't have the courage, so far he hasn't told Du Yan about Zhu Houzhao's identity as the prince, just because he is afraid that Du Yan will abscond in fear of crime after knowing the way, after all, beating the dragon's head is too shocking, and Du Yan's little heart may not be able to bear it.

However, Zhu Houzhao only dared to hold a chair every time he entered the door, and Qin Kan was quite dissatisfied with the appearance that there was a vicious dog ready to run away at any time, fortunately, Du Yan stayed in the inner courtyard most of the time, or went into the city to go shopping and play, and easily did not show up in the front hall, otherwise with Zhu Houzhao's expression, a fat beating would inevitably be inevitable.

Zhu Houzhao's purpose in coming to the door was naturally to learn to make soup.

He didn't hear the praise of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and even if he did, he didn't care about it, his filial piety was sincere and heartfelt, not for those officials who were on a vegetarian diet.

Today's Zhu Houzhao has a belief and a clear goal, that is, to make a bowl of soup that satisfies himself and his father.

Qin Kan was very pleased with his performance and was very willing to teach him, although Qin Kan felt very frustrated by his apprentice's talent in cooking, he was very patient, and he believed that Zhu Houzhao could do it.

Qin Kan doesn't want to teach more human feelings, he hates preaching, and Zhu Houzhao hates it too.

Then, Your Royal Highness the Prince, your life will start with this bowl of soup.
