According to the prince's explanation, Wang Qiong and Peng Ze took office as Zhejiang's political envoy and envoy, and went to the East Palace to meet the prince before going to work.

Zhu Houzhao has an impression of Wang Qiong, and this impression is that he has a bad relationship with Yang Tinghe in history. Because Yang Tinghe is a clear stream, Wang Qiong is willing to give it a try no matter how many things can be done.

As for Peng Zhi and the people recommended by Min Jue, there is nothing else.

These two people are officials in their forties, it is the best time, and they have a lot of experience, of course, they have little experience in the face of the prince, especially the prince today, he is not a real child, and he has to eat the board if he is not good, with such a murderous reputation, they are naturally more restrained.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the couch and stretched out his hand to bake the fire from time to time, "...... Raise your heads, you haven't seen this palace yet."

Wang Qiong Lu Ziye, in fact, Peng Ze has a big temper, but at the moment he is also like a little good cat. Wang Qiong has deep forehead lines, Peng Ze is bearded, and Zhu Houzhao remembers the appearance of the two of them.

"Your Highness's face is shining brightly, and Weichen doesn't dare to look at it directly."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile, this Wang Qiong is really good at sycophancy, skipping these without mentioning it, he said: "You should have heard about Zhejiang's eucalyptus last year, officials and businessmen colluded, and even the officials of the imperial court themselves came from a certain merchant family, and they got it around...... It seems that the court opened it for the purpose of collecting wealth for their own families."

"To be an official, to be an official of the imperial court, to be an official of the main palace, this palace does not expect each of you to think about the main palace and the imperial court ten percent of the time, but there should always be five points to think, right? The remaining four points are to think about yourself, and one point to think about others as well. Otherwise, the palace will have to do it again."

When Wang Qiong and Peng Ze heard this, their hearts were also empty.

"Li Yancai and Dang Shanji should still be in prison in the Criminal Department. This palace is too lazy to interrogate them, so before the two of you go to Zhejiang, you must go to see them once. There's a lot of silver in that place in Zhejiang, and if you accidentally fall into it, you can't get out again."

"Yes, after the two ministers retreated, they immediately went to the prison of the Criminal Department."

"When you go to Zhejiang, you have to clean up the mess, and you have worked hard for a few years to do a few good things for the people. If Zhejiang is in chaos......

Wang Qiong took over, "His Royal Highness the Prince's words are understood by the ministers, if there is chaos in Zhejiang, the ministers will come to see them with their heads."

"This palace doesn't want your head, what's the use of cutting it off for this palace? This palace wants a thriving Zhejiang." Zhu Houzhao pointed to Wang Qiong and remembered another thing, "Your "Caohe Atlas" is very well compiled, those places in northern Zhejiang have developed water networks, and after you go to Zhejiang, you should also take a good look at the water system there, open canals, and irrigate fertile fields.

"Weichen has not yet taken office, he doesn't dare to say anything, all he wants is to do a good job in Zhejiang. His Royal Highness loves the people and protects the people, and the ministers know it. However, it is not enough for the ministers of the court to know, but also to let the people of the world know that the ministers are in Zhejiang, that is, to let the people of Zhejiang know that so many people killed by the court in Zhejiang are also bad people, and they are for the people."

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his fingers, and there was an undetectable smile in his eyes. This guy is an interesting guy, but he doesn't say much about it, and he always waits for him to make a result. ….

"What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom. Remember, remember, what this palace likes."

After leaving the East Palace, Wang Qiong wanted to go and say hello to Peng Ze, after all, he wanted to come to his colleagues, but he didn't expect Peng Ze's attitude to be quite cold, and he squinted at him and left directly.

Wang Qiong is also a person who wants to save face, he flicked his sleeves and snorted angrily: "What kind of big-tailed wolf!"

Peng Ze is a gentleman, cherishes his reputation, and his temper is not small, he just saw that Wang Qiong basically didn't care about anything in front of the prince, and his sycophants flew up, so he naturally didn't want to be with him.

He didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately used such a person, there were so many humble gentlemen in the Ming and Ming dynasties.

Wang Qiong felt bored and walked alone, and when he was halfway up, he suddenly saw a team of eunuchs going to the East Palace with a very panicked expression, which made him can't help but squint.

Something is wrong?

But he didn't dare to ask about these things.

Inside the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao

Hearing that the eunuch came to report that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to see him, it was originally a very ordinary message, but this eunuch looked very nervous, sweat on his forehead in the winter, and his voice trembled.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked out the window, and others couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Seeing that the prince's face was not good, Liu Jin stepped forward and kicked the guy, "Blind slave! What kind of system is it that is panicked?!"

"Forget it." Zhu Houzhao let out a long sigh, "Let's change clothes."

In fact, at this time, the cabinet also received the same will from the palace, that is, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to see them.

Although he didn't say anything, the emperor suddenly summoned the minister at this time......

……

……

In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao did not listen to the advice of Qiuyun and others, so he wore less clothes and contracted a cold.

That time was the most serious illness he had in the past few years, and Dr. Tan of the Medical Palace personally tested the medicine for him, and it took a lot of effort to cure him.

Emperor Hongzhi made the set of praying to God and Buddha again, and the palace began to do rituals to pray for the prince. Those heavenly emperors were anxious like the most helpless people in the world, he had always had a good temper, and he also punished the palace maids who served poorly.

In fact, where the service is not effective, it is just that the prince's illness has not improved.

The emperor didn't even care about state affairs, and sat in front of the prince's bed all day long. Zhu Houzhao spit out words in a coma, saying that he wanted to eat pears, but it was already winter in the north at that time? Where to find pears. The emperor sent officials from the palace to the south to look for him.

That is, Zhu Houzhao didn't say that he wanted to eat cherries and kiwifruit, otherwise he wouldn't know where to find them.

……

……

In the fourteenth year of Hongji,

The prince once went out of the palace to play, saying that there was something serious, in fact, where was there anything serious, and he secretly ate the roast chicken cooked by the local method among the people, to be honest, the sanitary conditions in those years were really worrying, and he had to eat back to the palace to have diarrhea.

It was a particularly serious incident, but the prince was unwilling to punish others for his own mistakes.

Emperor Hongzhi firmly supported the crown prince in the court, otherwise those eunuchs who did not persuade the prince would have to lose their lives.

……

……

In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, the prince of the East Palace was furious because of Changxingbo's invasion of the land and the invasion of the girl from the good family, and in anger, he said that he would cut off the title of Changxingbo and change it to a knight. ….

Afterwards, an official complained, saying that the prince was in charge of his own affairs, but Emperor Hongzhi said that the prince had told him in advance without even knowing it.

Something like this has happened many times in the past few years.

……

……

Zhu Houzhao is a person who understands history and politics, and of course he knows that looking at the thousand-year-old history of China and hundreds of emperors, he can achieve the level of Emperor Hongzhi.

Maybe you won't find a second place anymore.

Now the emperor is dying on the dragon bed, his cheekbones are protruding, his lips are white, his body has no flesh at all, and even his hair is dry.

In the warm pavilion, the four ministers of the cabinet, Liu, Li, and Xie, including Liu Daxia, knelt and sobbed in a low voice.

Among the eunuchs, except for Xiao Jing, no one else was allowed to enter. In addition to the doctors from the Tai Hospital, there are also Tan and Hu kneeling in the side.

And Zhu Houzhao knelt beside the dragon's bed, listening to the emperor's words little by little and intermittently.

In fact, the emperor was already very, very weak, his head couldn't move, he looked straight and blankly upward, and said only one sentence, four words: prince, prince.

He kept calling like this.

And in the face of the four ministers he trusted, the emperor didn't say anything, and laboriously raised his hand and pointed at them, and then pointed at the crown prince,

After Li Dongyang looked at it, he understood the holy will, "Your Majesty means that you want me to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Fuzuo!"

Emperor Hongzhi barely smiled, and a tear appeared from the corner of his eye.

As soon as the ministers saw this, they knew that Li Dongyang had guessed right, so they gathered

The body kowtowed: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will wholeheartedly assist Prince Zuo, for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, for the benefit of the people!"

Zhu Houzhao actually didn't have so much determination to express, and he didn't show any performance of calling for heaven and earth, just holding Emperor Hongzhi's hand, groping and warming, recalling the bits and pieces of the past few years in his mind, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

"Dad, my son is fortunate to have you as the best father in the world."

If there is anything else Zhu Houzhao has to say when he is dying, it is this sentence.

He believes that this sentence can also comfort Hongji's heart the most.

"Prince. The ancestors' kingdom will depend on you in the future."

I don't know why, the emperor can suddenly make a sound!

Zhu Houzhao thought it was his own illusion, he hurriedly raised his head, and in his teary eyes, the emperor's appearance was a little unclear, "Father?! Father, how are you?! Come and see, Doctor, my father can speak!"

"Your Highness!" Xiao Jing crawled over and hugged Zhu Houzhao's legs, "Your Highness, the emperor didn't speak. The emperor has ...... It's already collapsed!"

Bang!

"Get out of here!" Zhu Houzhao ignored him, he turned around and asked, "Didn't you all hear your father speak?!"

All four ministers were deeply buried.

The doctor on the side didn't seem to hear it.

Zhu Houzhao was a little dazed, his brain was clever, and when he turned around again, where was the emperor on the dragon bed still panting, and his eyes seemed to be closed forever.

"Father!!"

Zhu Houzhao's heart was like colic, he thought that no one would hurt him in the future, no one would protect him when he was in trouble, and when he was tired and sad, he didn't even have a person to talk to.

He gritted his teeth, but he couldn't stop crying.

For a while, in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, the sound of low sobbing came and went.

Li Dongyang raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, "Your Highness, the first emperor has passed away, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, the ministers and others implore His Highness to ease his grief a little and put state affairs first, so as to live up to the legacy of the emperor and ancestors."
