Zhu Houzhao was a little speechless, he was born as a Jinshi, how can he be called average in knowledge?

In fact, Yang Tinghe's performance is still very good, witty and intelligent, polite and courteous.

Coupled with the fact that he knew the reputation of this person in history, his heart was naturally willing to keep it by his side.

It's just that he dug a pit for Yang Tinghe last time, and he can't do it now.

If you do this, you are harming Yang Tinghe.

It is taboo to teach the prince privately,

The prince favors again?

In this way, he will surely be hated.

On the contrary, Yang Tinghe was ignored, so that he could be safer.

Anyway, it's still a long time, so there's no rush at this time.

Or demote him out of the capital?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Houzhao said to the queen:

"That's what the Queen Mother said. I didn't know that the left and right Zhongyun were only in charge of notes, and they had never spoken to Erchen, but they happened to call over when they happened to be next to them. Speaking of which, that Zuo Zhongyun is ordinary, and Right Zhongyun is almost fifty years old, and his beard is so frightened by his sons that his beard trembles. ”

When Empress Zhang heard this, she couldn't help but smile, her phoenix eyes were like crescent moons, "Zhao'er is really naughty, how can you scare Mr." ”

"It's the son's fault." Although he apologized, his face was full of smiles.

The queen didn't really blame, she smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes were bent into a thin line, and she naturally said good things, "He remembers his duties and knows how to advance and retreat, which is reasonable." It's nothing to be a little small. ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect the queen to say that.

Who is going to reason with this?

However, he didn't care about Zhang Tianrui's future, so he turned his head and talked about other things, and started to talk about family affairs.

"The queen mother, after a few days, the son taught the mother a card game, which is a kind of trick to guess and bluff, and after dedicating it to the queen mother, it is good to add some fun to the queen mother, and the number of people in this game is not limited, and the ancestors can also play. We are always a family, and the family needs to have a lively life. ”

The ancestor Zhu Houzhao mentioned is the emperor's grandmother.

During the Chenghua period, Wan Guifei made a rebellion. Killed many of the children of Emperor Chenghua.

Emperor Hongzhi was secretly adopted by palace maids and eunuchs, and was later taken up and raised by the Empress Dowager Zhou, who was his grandmother.

When Empress Zhang heard that her son had this heart, she was naturally very happy.

"Zhao'er is filial piety."

Zhu Houzhao deliberately showed filial piety,

On the one hand, it is due to the education received,

On the other hand, it is also the source of his power.

In addition, he had an idea, similar to the idea behind Emperor Jiajing's Great Rites.

It's the moral high ground.

The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty always occupied this point, so the emperors of the past dynasties either confessed to it, or they were tough against the infamy of brutal history, or they hid and ignored it.

Only confession will be recognized by them, and nothing else will work.

Because they always have the right to do it.

Among them, Emperor Jiajing is playing better, although he is not a good emperor, but he has a set of kneading ministers.

He spent 20 years fighting for the word 'li', which in Zhu Houzhao's view is essentially a battle of public opinion, and behind it is power.

Don't argue about this ceremony, the ministers moved out the saints and ancestors one by one, and told you that this is not good, and that is not good.

When an emperor is in the end, the most important thing is to be "obedient". How can this work?

It's different if you fight for this gift.

Everyone understands the words of the saints, so why do you courtiers understand correctly?

I and my courtiers who support me don't understand correctly.

Did the saint call you?

What is written is dead, but people are alive, so you might as well say it, and reason as well as argue.

In the later period, Emperor Jiajing was superb, and it was nonsense for you to talk to him about the words of the saint and the rules of the saint, and he knew better than you.

If you have to say that I am not in the way of the saints, then argue. After arguing, the emperor always has the advantage.

Because even if he can't win the debate, he can physically destroy you.

Now Zhu Houzhao also wants to stand on this moral high ground, first play a benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise, honest, gentle, courteous and thrifty to let go, and then he will be a good prince and emperor who no one can stop in heaven and earth.

And there is nothing he plans to do, not to serve the people, to revitalize the country, to reach that juncture, let these moral gentlemen themselves say,

Who's for, who's against!

These guys talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality every day, and they are talking about loyalty to the king and love for the people, asking for life for the people, and being indifferent to fame and fortune.

Then let's talk about it, Zhu Houzhao can roll them to death in the field of public opinion!

Outside Kunning Palace, a eunuch came slowly.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has descended."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed, he actually wanted to know what the outcome of the morning dynasty would be today, but there was no expression on his face.

The result has been decided, and there is no hurry.

This meditation is also cultivated by many years of experience, because I missed many things and suffered many losses in the past because of urgency and panic.

Empress Zhang folded her sleeves and got up, "Zhao'er, your father likes you to accompany him, so he will go with his mother, if Your Majesty is not happy, you must remember to say more good things." ”

"Okay."

"I hope there won't be any unsightly courtiers talking nonsense."

Zhu Houzhao smiled again and said, "There shouldn't be." ”

When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, they saw Emperor Hongzhi's relaxed little face.

"Zhao'er, come here." The emperor's health seemed to be much better, and he walked quickly to take his hand, and said with merit: "The emperor's business, my father has done it for you!" Next spring, go out of the cabinet and read! ”

"My son thanked my father!" Zhu Houzhao cooperated and knelt down for him.

The son kneeling Lao Tzu is righteous.

"Hahaha." The Emperor laughed heartily.

Empress Zhang's hanging heart also fell to the ground.

She also knew that the minister had been unhappy with the emperor for a long time over the prince's study, but now that it was finally done, she no longer had to worry about it as before.

"Congratulations to the emperor, concubine."

"Eh, the family doesn't talk to each other. My happy event is also the queen's happy event. After a while, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare the ceremony, and it will be more grand! ”

The queen was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, even so, the concubine also wants to make a request, please fulfill it." ”

"Good. The queen said. ”

"Reading is also a big deal in ordinary people, let alone heaven? I ask Your Majesty to choose a learned man for Zhao'er. Your Majesty can know that in order to recognize words as soon as possible to share your Majesty's worries, Zhao'er actually found a Zuo Zhongyun who was born as a Jinshi yesterday. ”

Hearing the queen say this, the first thing the emperor thought of was naturally his son's filial piety, so he already had 10,000 promises in his heart.

And the queen's request is nothing, even if she doesn't ask for it, once he knows it, he will have to do it.

"This matter is indeed inappropriate, the queen is not in a hurry, this matter was also mentioned in the court this morning. The imperial court has already gathered a group of Hongxue Confucians with both ability and political integrity, and this person is afraid that the queen will not be able to choose. ”

Empress Zhang said: "Then we will send them all over, and Zhao'er can ask for advice in the future." ”

Zhu Houzhao's face darkened, although he didn't hate reading, but it was quite a headache for a room full of old pedants to talk to him about benevolence, righteousness and morality every day.

"Well," the Emperor nodded, "let me think about it." ”

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "By the way, I can't remember clearly. Who is this Zuo Zhongyun? ”

Zhu Houzhao next to him blurted out, "Father, his name is Yang Tinghe." ”

He wanted to show his face to the future Lord Shoufu and make a Jane in the emperor's heart or something.

Who knew that the emperor said: "Oh, it turns out that this person is from the origin of the Jinshi, and I have ignored it in the past." Since this is the case, I will follow the queen's request. ”
