The flag covers the sky, countless flags are mighty, the emperor is mighty, and the honor is incomparable.

The Luan driver of the Great Tomorrow was at the forefront, thousands of forbidden troops stood solemnly, and hundreds of courtiers were listed behind Luan, showing the royal prestige.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao, the son of the Great Tomorrow, went out of Yongding Gate for ten miles to welcome his brother Yongwang into Beijing.

Zhu Houwei drove out of the king's car, and he didn't have time to look at the imperial center not far away, let alone sigh, so he stepped forward quickly, and saw his brother Zhu Houzhao, who was standing in the wind, wearing a black silk winged crown, wearing a woven and embroidered dragon robe, but his face was a little haggard, so he wanted to bow down, but Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and said: "What are you kowtowing to, my brother doesn't know you?" When you were a child, you were most annoyed by kowtowing, and you didn't like others to kowtow to you, why didn't you change your personality for a few years. ”

Zhu Houwei was held up, so he naturally couldn't bow down, so he could only smile bitterly: "The monarch and the minister are righteous, how dare the minister disobey it."

"Come less." Zhu Houzhao punched his younger brother on the shoulder socket and said: "You and I are a monarch and a minister, but also a brother, if you only talk about monarchs and ministers, then you are alienated from brotherhood, now I don't call me in front of you, you don't play with me like a monarch and a minister, from now on, I will not let you kneel down, you must only treat me as a brother, not as an emperor."

Zhu Houwei's nose was sour, and he resisted the urge to cry, Zhu Houzhao is only twenty-two years old now, but he can already see a trace of white hair on his head, if it can be said to be a young man in later generations, but at present, Zhu Houwei can only think that this guy is overindulgent and hollowed out his body.

Life does not know moderation, and the final outcome is short-lived.

Zhu Houwei has already decided to persuade, as for whether Zhu Houzhao listens or not, it is not up to him to decide, no matter what, at least his conscience is better.

"Come, follow me to Luan." Zhu Houzhao grabbed his younger brother's arm, dragged straight to Luan Jia with a smile on his face.

The two have a deep brotherly relationship, and the officials who follow naturally will not have any opinions.

Luan drove back to Beijing, went straight to the imperial city, and looked at the palace after more than six years of absence, Zhu Houwei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This was supposed to be the heart of the empire, the center of politics and power, but since Zhu Houzhao moved to the leopard room, this palace has naturally become much deserted.

If it is possible, Zhu Houzhao is absolutely unwilling to return to the palace, but his younger brother wants to visit the Queen Mother when he enters Beijing, and he must come back to see him on the fifteenth day of the new year, otherwise he will be detained with an unfilial hat, which in ancient society, even the emperor could not afford it.

In front of the main hall of Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Zhang stood in front of the hall, and the eunuchs in the palace would report back every other cup of tea, informing the emperor where Luan Jia was at the moment, which shows how eager Empress Dowager Zhang was at this time.

Since the Great Qin Dynasty, hundreds of emperors have been afraid of the inside, and there are not a few who have a deep relationship with the queen, but such as Emperor Hongzhi, who has only one queen in the harem, can be called unique, so Empress Dowager Zhang can be regarded as one of the happiest women in the feudal era, and even not one in some aspects.

If you want to say regret, it is that Emperor Hongzhi died too early, so that she was widowed at a young age, but Emperor Hongzhi died, and his son ascended the throne, and he was already the most honorable woman in the world, not one.

Finally Luan drove to Cining Palace, the two brothers got off Luan and drove directly into the palace, and when they saw the Empress Dowager Zhang in front of the solemn steps, Zhu Houwei hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Unfilial son knocks to see his mother."

"Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground." Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly asked people to help Zhu Houwei up, and before she knew it, tears had soaked her eyes.

Empress Dowager Zhang thought that she would never see her most beloved youngest son in her life......

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the prince entered the domain, and he could not come out without an edict, even if the emperor was a great trip, he could only sacrifice from afar, not to mention her mother.

As the most noble woman today, Empress Dowager Zhang can only endure in this cold palace day after day, year after year, and the loneliness in her heart is not something ordinary people can understand.

It wasn't until the eldest son was about to get married that she said in front of the emperor, thinking that the eldest son would be unhappy, but she didn't expect the emperor to agree, and then gave Huzhou a will.

Mother and son have the day of reunion, Empress Dowager Zhang only feels that there are no regrets in this life, but unfortunately due to the ancestral system, after the eldest son's marriage, the younger son will return to the fiefdom after all.

In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Zhang asked too much, as if she wanted to finish her thoughts about Zhu Houwei over the years, but it made Zhu Houzhao feel extremely depressed, he also had a lot to ask, and he also wanted to take his brother to the leopard room to see the tigers, leopards and jackals he raised.

"Son, your brother is going to get married (Emperor Zhengde married Xia as the queen at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and it was changed to Zhengde for seven years because the plot needs to be changed), and my mother also found a woman for you as a concubine, and you are not a small boss, and it is time to get married......" After nagging, Empress Dowager Zhang finally got to the point.

Zhu Houwei smiled bitterly, as a prince, he can justifiably have countless women, but it is really not his turn to decide the choice of the concubine.

The words of the parents and the matchmaker, the people are still like this, let alone the royal family.

Seeing that Zhu Houwei had no opinion, Empress Dowager Zhang smiled a little more on her face and said: "Shou Ninghou's daughter Shaohua is now seventeen years old, talented, virtuous and virtuous, and even more beautiful, my mother agreed with Shou Ninghou a few years ago, and promised her to be the princess of you, which can be regarded as a kiss between the two families......

Zhu Houzhao smiled, obviously he had known it for a long time, and not only did he know, but he also refused, the queen mother said that Zhang Shaohua was really beautiful, but he was rude, and he didn't match the four words of everyone's girlfriends, and he wanted to marry him as the princess, but the emperor said that the prince would not be the daughter of the noble family, so the queen mother had no choice but to give up.

But the Queen Mother obviously didn't give up, so she paid attention to Zhu Houwei's head, if the poor brother married Zhang Shaohua, the future would ......

Zhu Houwei was also stunned, he never dreamed that the princess chosen by his mother for him turned out to be his cousin!

This is his uncle's daughter, an absolute close relative!

Ancient people liked to kiss each other, but he knew that the marriage of close relatives was too harmful, and the offspring born had a high chance of being mentally retarded!

And Zhang Shaohua is familiar with him, when he was a child, he liked to follow him with a fart, and playing a little temperament against him is a hammer, Zhu Houwei is not unable to beat her, but good men don't fight with women.

Now that the Queen Mother wants her to marry Cousin Shaohua, it would be strange if the entire Yongwang Mansion was not stirred up.

Seeing her son's stunned appearance, Empress Dowager Zhang only thought that her son had no opinion, so she said with a smile on her face: "Let your uncle ...... in a few days."

"Mother...... Zhu Houwei's face flushed and said: "The child is still ...... young"
