Zhu Houzhao remembered that his father, a civil servant, was so busy every day before he retired that he couldn't see anyone, and he himself worked in other cities, so he basically didn't have a phone call a week.

But after retiring, I kept sending him pictures of girls on it, always asking how this was and how it was.

A sense of déjà vu rose in him now.

In Kunning Palace, Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang chatted hotly, as if they had neglected their son, and listening to that meaning, they were already imagining the beautiful scene when they had an emperor's grandson.

This makes him very helpless, looking for a daughter-in-law at this time, it must be similar to his age, right?

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl...... When I think about it, I feel a little trembling.

「…… Although Zhao'er is also taken care of by eunuchs and palace maids, in the final analysis, those are just slaves and maids, and there is always a lack of a caring person."

Empress Zhang is a woman, so she is more interested in these, and she is even more idle than Emperor Hongzhi!

The emperor on the side responded with his eyebrows, in fact, he was here to discuss, but Empress Zhang echoed it very well, as if he had finally found something to do, so,

Excited.

"The queen is right. Besides, my crown prince's choice of concubine must be an excellent woman from a good family in all aspects, so it is inevitable that it will be next year, and with the auspicious day of Qin Tian's supervision, it may be the year after tomorrow." The emperor also tried to persuade the crown prince: "So Zhao'er, you just said it was early, but in fact, it is not early at all."

Zhu Houzhao's face is full of black lines, what are you anxious about the year after tomorrow!

But then again, his crown princess still has to be chosen well, to say something unfilial...... In case he also finds a crown princess like Empress Zhang.

That's the end of it.

He deals with complicated political affairs every day, and when he returns to the harem, he has to deal with this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is really exciting.

The crown prince was thinking about this, and the emperor thought that he had something else when he saw that he had not spoken, so he eased his excitement a little, "Zhao'er is very reluctant?"

Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "Not really, my son is just thinking, it seems that he hasn't seen his father and mother so happy for a long time."

These words made Hongzhi and Empress Zhang's hearts warm slightly, and the eyes that looked at their son were overflowing with family affection.

"Although my son does think it's a little early, but seeing that my father and mother can be so happy, and still do it for my son, then I can't live up to this heart."

For him, he has to get married early and late, sixteen and fourteen are very early, there is not much difference. It has to be said that you have to wait until you are fully adult to get married, but in fact, you are asking for trouble for yourself.

That's really the case, for this matter, I don't know how many ministers will continue to go up and down, and to put it a little bigger, it is also encroaching on the political resources of the imperial court.

Besides, Emperor Hongzhi also showed great interest in this matter...... Zhu Houzhao always thinks about the threshold of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, so he thinks that he can make him happier, or happier......

Get married, anyway, he is the crown prince, and he will still be the emperor in the future, so it is impossible to fall in love every day in this Forbidden City.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but rejoice when he saw that the prince had agreed, and he was worried that the prince was emotional, so he explained again: "Zhao'er, when you get married and have children, you will know the mood of being a parent. Giving birth to a son, starting from the croaking of the ground, to his ability to speak, sensible adulthood, and then to marrying a wife and having children, this is something that parents look forward to. You are the crown prince, and in the future, the Ming dynasty will also depend on you, I will pass it on to you, and you will pass it on to my grandson, so that it can be passed on from generation to generation, so as to live up to the will of the ancestors." ….

"Father's words, my son understands." Zhu Houzhao is not the entangled mentality of the youngest daughter, although it is a little sudden, but it is decided, "But my son has a request, and I ask my father to agree."

Emperor Hongzhi was in a very good mood, and even joked, "If you don't agree, you won't do it?" I'm polite to Lao Tzu."

Empress Zhang stared at him and said angrily, "Zhao'er is polite."

"Yes, yes, yes, you say."

Zhu Houzhao said: "The imperial court chooses a concubine, and the inner prison maid sent by the palace can let the son come

Arrangement?"

The emperor and the empress looked at each other, what does this mean, he has understood the affairs of the court since he was a child, why do you still have to intervene in the affairs of men and women?

Empress Zhang had some opinions, "Zhao'er, you either read and write every day, or deal with political affairs with the minister. Let us take care of the marriage of this man and woman for you."

They are afraid, after all, their son is young, he doesn't understand those things, and then he makes some strange requests and chooses indecent people to come in, and it will be troublesome.

Zhu Houzhao scratched his forehead, a little embarrassed...... How can I say this, can I still say that I understand everything?

In fact, he wants to make some more detailed arrangements, so that he can make some things easier for him to say.

"Mother, my son has no other meaning." Zhu Houzhao used his brain and explained well: "I just think that the prince's concubine is also about the face of the royal family. Be sure to choose a gentle personality, the first priority is family background, and the second is character. But the family background is easy to screen, and this character can't be seen...... Isn't the son, the crown princess, just a stroke of luck?"

The emperor said, "If you want to see your character clearly, you can let them stay in the capital for a longer time, so that they can observe."

"Dad, at that time, they all knew that they might be chosen, and their words and deeds must not be the same as before."

"And what are you going to do?"

"The son wants to send some palace maids of the right age to mix in it, there are no eunuchs and no princes, so they can see their true character in private."

That's a well-intentioned one.

However, Empress Zhang also dispelled her doubts when she heard this, it turned out to be for the sake of character...... Fortunately, it was not a strange request, and the prince didn't understand it in the first place.

And for Zhu Houzhao, he has no way not to be careful.

Anyone who has been married knows that the characteristic of beauty works well, but the most important thing must be the character, and people with bad character give you the kind of 'who do you want with your mother and me, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem, who loved who in those days, anyway, he didn't love.

The other one, he is now the crown prince, and his figure, appearance, and skin, including his skin, are all checked in the selection process, in other words, beauty is a basic condition for a crown princess, and it is not precious and scarce here in Zhu Houzhao.

Don't say it's not pretty, some flaws can't get in, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Besides, if you are shameless, he can find beauty even if his hair is gray.

The Emperor nodded, "The selection of concubines by the crown prince is aimed at women from good families between the ages of thirteen and sixteen in the country, and is gathered in the provinces and then gathered in the capital. In this case, the two capitals and the thirteen provinces can each send two or three palace maids to mix in it first, and no one else will know about it except for the inner prison."

"That son thanked his father here."

"Okay, that's it." Emperor Hongji stood up, "Nothing else. Zhao'er, dad will go with you." ….

Empress Zhang saw her off at the gate of the palace, and the emperor led the crown prince and a group of eunuchs and maids to walk in the palace.

"Zhao'er, you went to Kunning Palace to find me, what's the matter, right?"

Zhu Houzhao said in his heart that Emperor Hongzhi was not so dull sometimes.

"It's a matter of Zhejiang, before Huzhou Governor Xu Ruoqin went to the top, and Yan'er was fighting with the people for profit. But after the outbreak of Zhejiang Wo Eucalyptus this time, Jin Yiwei checked that the Xu family not only walked in their own private affairs, but also had something to do with King Huai. After all, smuggling violates the law of the country, so the Xu family will provide convenience and protection for it through the vassal kings of the imperial court, and then share the benefits with the Huai Wangfu afterwards."

The emperor took his hands, and as soon as he heard this, his previous happy expression disappeared, and he still felt a little heartache when it involved his relatives. So he asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "King Huai is the seventh son of Emperor Renzong, and he is also our own Zhu family. Therefore, how about the retainers who feel that they should not be moved to murder, so how about cutting off their titles and demoting them to commoners?"

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @

Zhu Houzhao said: "My father cares about the affection of his relatives, but when King Huai and his family despised the law of the country and conspired with female officials to make profits, they never thought that this was digging the corner of the Ming Dynasty."

"Tsk." The emperor turned around and said as if to discuss, "I'm not saying that there will be no punishment, but a small punishment is sufficient, so why should I be demoted to a commoner?"

"It's not a good punishment this time, let's do it next time, next time." Zhu Houzhao also opened his mouth, looking a little unhappy, "This time, Zhejiang Eucalyptus rejected how many pieces of music were rejected, and he did it hard. It's not easy, and my father is also clear. The slogan was shouted loudly, but the result was unfair, and the subjects of the world were asked to think of their sons and daughters in the future."

Emperor Hongzhi was entangled, and what the prince said was not unreasonable. In February, Liu Daxia also teased him, saying that the emperor was biased, and outsiders would deal with it according to the law, and his own family was another attitude.

"Zhejiang Eucalyptus, you have to deal with it like this?"

"Definitely. Teng Xiang Zuowei was sent to Zhejiang. Erchen is now riding a tiger and is difficult to do, and he must do what he can do, and he must do it if he can't do it. Otherwise, Erchen will be ugly this time." Zhu Houzhao has a feeling of lying down, you look at it.

Anyway, if you want to protect King Huai, then sacrifice your son.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes rolled wildly, but as soon as he looked up and saw the prince waiting for him to speak, he knocked on his head, "You little bastard, you have a lot of ways to do it on weekdays, but now you say you can't do it. Aren't you playing a scoundrel with me?"

Zhu Houzhao refused, and crossed his fingers to settle accounts with him, "Why is my son called a scoundrel? Dad, you see, I now review hundreds of books every day, and I have to meet so many ministers when I am done, and there are still some emergencies in the country from time to time. Didn't Li Dongyang say that there was a drought in Shandong? The people are waiting to be fed, this has to be managed, right? The border gate still reports the military situation at every turn, this has to be managed, right? But what can the son do, it's nothing more than rewarding merit and punishing if there is a fault, and now that King Huai has committed something, I am thinking about ......it."

"Hey, okay, okay." The Emperor cast a spell and forcibly interrupted him, "I know all your hard work. Zhejiang's affairs, Huaiwang's affairs, you just handle it like that. But next time ......."

"It's the retainer who remembers, next time!".
