The third day of the ninth month, Wuyin Day.

The Forbidden City, the temple of the body.

Emperor Hongzhi was not in a good mood today, of course, the reason for this was not the news of the Tatar invasion of the border that was circulating in the Kyoshi.

In the seventh month of this year, Dayan Khan, the little prince of Tatar, gathered 100,000 elite soldiers, and the army attacked the border town of Daming in three ways.

Although the Baoguo Gong sent out has not yet achieved any substantial results, the six-hundred-mile urgent report two days ago has made it clear.

The soldiers fought hard and kept Hulu out of the border province, and the Tatars did not take advantage of it, and the battle situation was in a state of seesaw.

According to the Tatar's temperament, as long as he can't take advantage, he will naturally withdraw from the army in a short time, and it is not a problem.

What bothered Zhu Youzhu was another thing, today was supposed to be the day when the township test list was released, and the list of the Beizhili township test had been sent to the imperial case yesterday.

It's just that there were a lot of things yesterday, and I haven't had time to check it yet, so I planned to take a look at it this morning, go through the motions, and order someone to put it on the list according to the list.

But I don't want Yang Tinghe to enter the palace early in the morning to ask for a meeting, this Yang Tinghe is Zuo Zhongyun of Zuo Chunfang, and his duty is to serve the prince to study, and he is half of the prince's teacher.

What is he doing here, Zhu Youzhu can guess without thinking about it, it must be his prince who has caused trouble again, and this is the one who came to complain.

Yang Tinghe, who is in his forties this year, looks at a middle-aged uncle who is very energetic, and after entering the palace, he first saluted the emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play, and it is about His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

I know......

Emperor Hongzhi secretly said in his heart, and then cheered up, and said to Yang Tinghe and Wen: "The Qing family said that it was okay, but the prince was in trouble again?" ”

Yang Tinghe said solemnly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become more and more absent-minded in reading these days, and yesterday's lecture was even absent for no reason.

Speaking of this, Yang Tinghe knelt down, "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to slander the prince, but the minister is worried about this. More and more playful...."

After a few pauses, he still didn't dare to say the word stubborn after all, "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that in the future..."

Yang Tinghe didn't say the next words, but Zhu Youzhu had already guessed it, and it was not a good thing anyway.

For this prince, he definitely has high hopes, and the attendants and attendants that Zhu Houzhao found are almost all champions, lists, or tanhuas. Most of them are the three tripod armor of the progressive science department.

Even some of the attendants were only of the fifth or sixth rank because of their lower official ranks, and he specially allowed them to wear the red official robes that only officials of the fourth rank and above could wear, the purpose of which was to exert favors so that they could teach the prince to read with all their might.

But this prince... When I was a child, I was obviously quite sensible, and those masters who served the prince to study, who did not praise the prince for being smart and clever, and even followed by something like this, which is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the society.

But as he gets older, he becomes more and more playful and naughty, which makes Zhu Youzhu have a headache.

Touching his eyebrows with his fingers without a trace, Emperor Hongzhi said to Yang Tinghe with a pleasant face: "I already know what Yang Qing played. ”

"Your Majesty, Prince..."

Without waiting for Yang Tinghe to finish speaking, Zhu Youzhu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will summon the prince over in a while, so that I can take care of it... The good student reprimanded. ”

He originally wanted to say that it was good to discipline, but the words turned around in his mouth, and he swallowed it back raw, and the discipline meant to do something, so it was better to reprimand.

To be honest, if you really want to fight, Emperor Hongzhi really can't bear to do it.

After all, it's just such a baby bump, and there are no other children besides him, what if it breaks it?

Yang Tinghe seemed to be not very satisfied with the emperor's treatment, and his lips squirmed and he was about to say something more, but a eunuch bent down and went straight into the hall, and said respectfully: "Emperor, Zuo Chunfang and Li Min respectfully invited Sheng'an, and asked His Majesty when the list would be released. ”

"I'm going to bow down."

Zhu Youzhu sat up straight and replied, and then looked at the township test list on the imperial case, the list was wrapped in red silk, and he didn't have time to look at it urgently.

It seems to be the list of township tests, and the other emperors of the Ming Dynasty are definitely too lazy to look at it, and there is no need to look at it, and it is not a test, let alone a palace test.

But in order to show the importance he attaches to the country's selection of materials, Emperor Hongzhi must see it every time, even if it is only a formality.

Zhu Youzhu stretched out his hand to pick up the list book, and was about to open the red silk to take a look, when he saw Yang Tinghe still kneeling there, and couldn't help but say: "Yang Qing, get up quickly, if there is nothing to do, Qing will step down, I still have to look at the list of township exams here, so that the Gongyuan can release the list as soon as possible." ”

"Since Your Majesty has something to do, the minister will retire first."

As he spoke, Yang Tinghe stood up from the ground, and after saluting the emperor again, he retreated from the hall upside down.

At this time, Zhu Youzhu had just opened the red silk, looked up and saw Yang Tinghe leaving, and raised his hand at the eunuch, "Go, tell Li Qing, give an order to release the list, don't make those students who are looking forward to it wait." ”

"The slave obeys." The eunuch bowed and sang, and then withdrew.

"Xiao Banban, you go to Zhan Shifu and summon the prince over."

Zhu Youzhu opened the notebook, bowed his head and said to himself, there has been a lean old eunuch standing next to him, who has been motionless since just now, like a statue standing next to the emperor.

Hearing the emperor's words, the statue seemed to come to life, leaned in response, and then walked out slowly.
