Chapter Ninety-Nine: Catastrophe
Zhu Houzhao was in tears in front of Empress Zhang at this time: "Queen Mother! ”
Empress Zhang's face was cold: "Zhao'er, can you believe those rumors?" Still ran to my mother to ask for the truth? What truth? Bastard thing! Your mother gave birth to such a bastard as you when she was pregnant in October? ”
Zhu Houzhao was at the age of rebellion, and suddenly shouted: "Queen Mother! Then why didn't Father kill those bastards? ”
"How do I know? Ask for yourself! ”
"Just ask!" Zhu Hou stood up angrily, turned around and walked out!
Empress Zhang's whole body trembled angrily, and she pointed at Zhu Houzhao and shouted: "Zhu Houzhao! If you're gone, don't come back! ”
Zhu Houzhao snorted, and just as he was about to rush out of Kunning Palace, he was blocked by Hua Houwei head-on. "Are you crazy? What do you have to do with your mother? ”
Hua Houwei dragged Zhu Houzhao back with a stalk around his neck, ran to Queen Zhang, and hugged Queen Zhang: "Mom, my brother is the age of a stubborn donkey, don't be like him." What the hell is going on? ”
"Alas, what a wickedness!" When Empress Zhang saw her youngest son, tears fell instantly. I don't know how he knew the news of this broken family, the daughter he sold many years ago was on an errand in the palace, so he asked someone to find a relationship and wanted to recognize his daughter. The bad thing is that the eunuch Liu Shan, he wants to knock out two more money, so he lies that this bastard was born to a palace maid! Can't my mother give birth? So what's going on with you and Taikang? This bastard still doesn't give up, let me give him the truth? Phew! How could I raise such an unfilial fool of you! ”
Hua Houwei immediately walked around behind Zhu Houzhao and kicked in the crook of his leg, Zhu Houzhao knelt in front of Queen Zhang, and wanted to hold on, Hua Houwei scolded with his head: "Brother! Are you stupid? You are the crown prince! ”
Zhu Houzhao came to his senses in an instant, and immediately took two steps on his knees and hugged Queen Zhang's legs: "Queen Mother, I was wrong!" ”
Hua Hou Wei kicked up again angrily: "What's your face?" More important than making mom sad? ”
Empress Zhang burst into tears and said coldly: "Zhu Houzhao, I can't afford it." ”
Zhu Houzhao really reacted at this time, and immediately cried: "Mother! I was really wrong! This Zheng Wang was arrested without trial or judgment, and the child was puzzled in his heart..."
Hua Houwei still didn't know the essentials when he saw Zhu Houzhao, so he could only go on it himself. He ran behind Empress Zhang and hugged Empress Zhang's neck: "Mom, my brother didn't mean to, just forgive him." Mom, my brother is starting to grow, and he's getting hair underneath! ”
Zhu Hou photographed a cat whose tail was stepped on, and it exploded at that time. His face suddenly turned red, and he pointed at Hua Houwei angrily: "Zhu Houwei! What nonsense are you talking about? ”
Empress Zhang was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed, hugged Hua Houwei and kissed her: "It's still the youngest son's intimacy!" Forget it, I see. Zhao'er, come here, let my mother take a look. Afraid of what? Where are you not familiar with? Still shy! ”
Finally got Queen Zhang, Hua Houwei and Zhu Houzhao walked out of Kunning Palace, Hua Houwei waved Liu Jin away, and scolded Zhu Houzhao: "Zhu Houzhao!" Are you really stupid or fake stupid? Ask Mom about this kind of thing? ”
Zhu Houzhao retorted unconvinced: "Why can't you ask?" ”
"Alas, my dear brother! If this thing is fake, can my mother not be sad? What's in it for you? If it's true? What about your crown prince? ”
"What can I do? Big deal! You're smarter than me, you can do it! "Zhu Houzhao finally broke out! For a long time, Hua Houwei has been like his nemesis, all the praise is for Hua Houwei, and he is a spur of criticism. Although Hua Houwei is really good to him, he tried his best to get him money, and he has always defended him. But out of the dignity of a man, the better Hua Houwei treated him, the more disgusted he became, until Zheng Wang's incident appeared, and he felt a deep crisis.
Hua Houwei was stunned, trembling all over, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with disappointed eyes: "Brother! Do you really think so? ”
Zhu Houzhao was also stunned, but the arrogance inherent in adolescence made him blurt out involuntarily: "Yes!" Hum! You have always been better than me, so it's good for you to be the prince, I'm not rare! ”
Hua Houwei finally couldn't help but be full of grievances and shed tears: "Zhu Houzhao, I will assist you wholeheartedly, and I want you to be the first emperor of the ages." You, are you worthy of me? ”
"Don't worry about it! You know I can't? I won't listen to you! ”
Hua Houwei was silent, he wiped a handful of tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Okay! Good! You don't need me, so can I go? ”
Zhu Hou looked at Hua Houwei's tears, and he was also distressed. But the pride of his heart drove him not to say a word.
Hua Houwei couldn't wait for the answer he hoped for, and the hope in his eyes slowly extinguished. The brothers looked at each other for a long time, Hua Houwei turned around silently, and staggered towards the Wenhua Palace, and the thin figure was a little lonely.
Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth to shout, but he didn't make a sound, stretched out his hand, but only swung a few times in the air. Watching Hua Houwei slowly disappear in front of him, his heart was stunned. Liu Jin walked over: "Master, His Royal Highness is really good to you, you shouldn't"
Syllable! A slap was slapped on Liu Jin's face. "Our brother's affairs, do you need to intervene as a minion?"
Hua Houwei didn't know where to go in a daze, he didn't want to sue Zhu Houzhao, let alone compete for the crown prince. The implementation of the industry was blocked, and the brother's feelings were frustrated, which made Hua Houwei feel empty and had nothing to rely on. A rich country and a strong army? Haha, just by yourself, in the face of that group of literati, what can you do? Save Zhengde? Zhu Houzhao doesn't have to save himself, so what's the point of crossing over by himself?
After all, Hua Houwei is just an ordinary person, a wage earner at the bottom of society, he has no strong mentality at all, and when he really faces the fate of the country and the nation, he retreats!
The palace is in chaos, and His Royal Highness can't find it! Kunning Palace, Cining Palace, Fengtian Palace, Wenhua Palace... I searched everywhere, but I still couldn't find Hua Houwei. Zhu Houzhao regretted his willfulness, ran to Hongzhi, and told him about the quarrel between himself and Huahou Wei, and the angry Hongzhi slapped him. "You bastard! That's your own brother! You said! How much did he help you? Yes! Look at the history books, which prince doesn't fight you to the death, who can treat you like Wei'er? ”
Zhu Houzhao howled and cried: "Dad! I was wrong! I searched all over the palace, but I couldn't find Brother Wei everywhere, Dad! ”
"You! You bastard! I'll clean you up again! Yinjiang! ”
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has not left the palace, and should still be in Banzai Mountain."
Hongzhi relieved himself and kicked Zhu Houzhao hard: "Why don't you follow me to find your brother?" ”
Hua Houwei sat on the top of the coal mountain in a daze, looking up at the vast starry sky. There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he didn't react at all.
"Wei'er, go back with Dad." Hongji gently hugged his shoulder.
"Daddy! Do people become stars in the sky when they die? ”
