Chapter 258: Entering the Palace for Audience
In just a few days, the carriage has entered Beizhili, and the closer it is to the Beijing Division, the more uneasy Zhu Houzhao becomes, not to mention him, even Xia Yuan feels that his heart is pounding, obviously he is doing a great thing, why do these eyelids keep jumping?
The two of them sat in a carriage, seeing that the outline of the Jingshi was already faintly visible, Zhu Houzhao's worries in his heart were even worse, and he sighed for a long time: "This palace has a premonition, and this time I will go back and designate to suffer." ”
Xia Yuan can't listen to this now, "Everything has to be good, our disaster relief has a great contribution." ”
"This palace is the crown prince, even if there is a great achievement, it will definitely be cleaned up by that faint king."
"And what did you do when you jumped on the boat?"
"Impulsive"
“.”
After being silent for a while, Zhu Houzhao cheered up again and said: "This palace is not afraid, it's just a beating, and this palace can stand it." ”
"Your Highness is mighty."
Xia Yuan flattered, and before Zhu Houzhao's chest could be raised, he continued: "Then Your Highness, don't remember the mistake, you jumped on the boat on your own initiative." I don't have the slightest relationship with the minister, and the minister doesn't know anything about it, and even told you not to get on the boat before, but you are bent on your own and don't care about your personal safety."
“.”
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao instantly collapsed his face, "You don't like what you say at all, who is this palace?" Even if you don't say it, Bengong knows how to do it, but as soon as you say it, Bengong feels uncomfortable in his heart, and feels that you don't believe in Bengong's personality. ”
Xia Yuan's face was solemn, and he said: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, the minister just reminds me, I'm afraid that you have a bad memory, but I don't believe in your character."
His Royal Highness is a person, the minister is well known, wise and martial, majestic and heroic, especially in terms of righteousness, that is even Guan Yunchang in the Three Kingdoms can't catch up, His Royal Highness is simply synonymous with righteousness and thin Yuntian. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's heart immediately became comfortable, and he said reservedly: "I don't dare to say that I am more righteous than Guan Yunchang, but it is not a little worse." ”
More than a dozen carriages and hundreds of guards entered the capital, and soon some people reported to the palace.
So much so that as soon as he entered Fucheng Gate, he didn't have to go for a while, Xiao Jing came with a group of guards, and then quickly took over the carriage that Zhu Houzhao was riding in and headed for the Forbidden City.
Xia Yuan slammed the carriage, "Please stop for a while, let me get off first." ”
Zhu Houzhao looked at him with wide eyes, looking shocked, "Master, don't you enter the palace with me?" ”
Xia Yuan was more shocked than him, "What palace did you enter?" These people are welcoming you, not me, and I want to go home. ”
With that, he ignored the dog prince, and then slapped the carriage with a bang.
Under his unremitting beating, the carriage finally stopped, Xia Yuan just wanted to get out of the car, but the curtain of the car was lifted, and then Xiao Jing's old face poked in, "Master Xia, don't shoot, the emperor has an explanation, let you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter the palace to meet you." ”
“.”
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was happy even though he gloated, Xia Yuan didn't want to pay attention to him, and sat back with a big face.
Soon, the carriage arrived at Xihuamen, the two got off the carriage, a group of guards were very strict, and they couldn't run if they wanted to, so they had to honestly enter the palace and were taken all the way to the Qianqing Palace.
In the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi sat behind the imperial case, and was concentrating on reviewing the music.
Zhu Houzhao was very fast, as soon as he entered the warm pavilion, he knelt down after a plop, without dragging the mud and water at all, kneeling neatly, kowtowing and saying: "The son has seen his father!" ”
Xia Yuan was not bad at all, almost at the same time, he knelt down and bowed to pay homage, "Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Hongzhi didn't seem to hear it, and after a long time, he raised his eyes and asked: "Xia Qing's family, the weather is getting cold now, but Beizhili only has an inch of rain for more than a month, in your opinion, when will it rain?" ”
“?”
Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, this question really caught him off guard, and Beizhili only had an inch of rain in the rest of the month?
After he entered Beizhili, he did find that the air was dry, but the air here in Jingshi was already like this, dry.
But this question is asked, and I am not a weather forecaster, so where do I know?
"I don't know."
"You don't even know?"
“.”
This is actually very spiritual, as well as the tone and tone of his speech, for a moment, Xia Yuan suspected that he might really know something.
"If you go back to Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know."
From the beginning of autumn to the present, all the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Beizhili have very little rainfall, and even Shuntianfu has only a light rain.
This year, the harvest designation of the North Naoli is not completed.
Emperor Hongzhi thought that this son-in-law, who was proficient in the art of Kanyu, could predict when it would rain, but he didn't expect it.
Retracting his thoughts, Zhu Youzhu said again: "I also know about the matter of Puzhou in this palace. The relief of the crown prince and Xia Qing's family this time was extremely proper, and I couldn't help but applaud the case in the palace. ”
Xia Yuan looked humble, "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the minister is ashamed." ”
Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows were already dancing, but he still said: "Father, the son is also ashamed." ”
"Don't be ashamed, doing well is good, right from wrong is good from bad, I can still tell the difference."
After that, Zhu Youzhu continued: "Since I ascended the throne, there have been countless natural disasters of all sizes, and I have also sent many officials to provide disaster relief, but no one has ever been as effective as you. ”
Xia Yuan was praised and blushed a little, after all, this is all from the experience of being a volunteer in later generations, if he is a person in the world, a native of the world, he is a native of the world, and he can only be blind in the face of how to provide disaster relief.
Emperor Hongzhi asked again: "I heard that when you left Puzhou, tens of thousands of people knelt down to see each other off, and you also sent me a letter to invite Xia Qing's family to serve as the governor of Puzhou, and take off your boots in parallel?" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao interjected: "Not only that, but those people also have to worship their sons and masters in the Jiansheng Temple." ”
Zhu Youzhu bowed slightly, and sighed: "Take off your boots. Since I ascended the throne, it has only happened once, and it is Yan Rui, the current prefect of Gongchang Prefecture. And this is the second time for Xia Qing's family, I first heard about it, but I was surprised and delighted, the gift of taking off his boots, it was all because the officials had great kindness to the place, so they could get this courtesy. I, the Ming Dynasty, have produced another good minister who has blessed the people. ”
After being quiet for a while, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the two of them, and then asked, "Have you two ever known your mistakes about running away for disaster relief this time?" ”
This is obviously intended to be spared, Xia Yuan hurriedly said, "The minister is wrong, please punish Your Majesty." ”
Although Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows fluttered, he also followed closely, "The son is wrong, please punish my father." ”
"Okay, it's good to have your words, this disaster relief is so brilliant, I really can't teach you a lesson, but since you and others have this intention, then I will punish you with a good life."
As he spoke, the pleasant look on Emperor Hongzhi's face was no longer visible, and he said angrily: "Go, close all the doors of this Qianqing Palace for me!" Bring me the bamboo stick I had prepared! ”
“???”
Another hateful dividing line.
