Chapter 12: Encounters

"Your Majesty has a decree to stop the court for three days."

When the ministers were preparing to go to the court, Liu Jin came to announce the decree with a will, and said a three-day strike without a clue, and did not explain, which made the ministers scratch their heads, anyway, there was no big deal, and finally the ministers returned separately.

Liu Jian is the first auxiliary minister, naturally it is not something that Liu Jin can offend, Liu Jin privately confessed two sentences of His Majesty's words, and said: "Liu Gong, Your Majesty ordered, there is occasional discomfort in the body, and I will not go to court for the time being, please Liu Gong'an is psychological, Your Majesty is fine." ”

Liu Jin's words made Liu Jian and Li Dongyang Xie Qian all breathe a sigh of relief, Your Majesty is fine, since they have said that they will strike the dynasty for three days, let's talk about it after three days, anyway, it's not a big deal.

After the ministers left, Zhu Houzhao was dressed in civilian clothes, took Liu Jin and the middle-aged Xiushi of the Iron Eagle Guard, and left together, in fact, until now, Zhu Houzhao did not know that the middle-aged Xiushi, in fact, was also a eunuch, but this person used to be a military general, and accidentally injured the unspeakable parts on the battlefield, so he simply entered the palace and became the leader of the Iron Eagle Guard.

Since he is a eunuch, there is no problem in staying in the palace, Zhu Houzhao originally planned to send him out and set up an army to protect the imperial city, and even thought of the name, but he knew his identity and gave up.

Since then, Zhang Zhong has become the shadow of Zhu Houzhao's side, silent, wherever Zhu Houzhao goes, he will follow him, and personally protect His Majesty's safety.

Originally, Liu Jin was still worried that Zhang Zhong would steal the limelight from him, and he was in some crisis and vigilant, but later found that his worries were superfluous, His Majesty was still that Majesty, and the reason why he was left behind may be just because of his kung fu.

As for what Zhu Houzhao has planned, only God knows, and himself.

After a few people left the palace, there was a carriage parked outside the palace gate, history continued along the right track at this moment, Zhu Houzhao was the future queen Xia, was summoned into the palace by the Empress Dowager Zhang, when the first emperor was alive, he selected this woman, who knew that the first emperor did not take long to go, and the matter was also dragged down.

After the New Year, Zhu Houzhao is also sixteen years old, and Xia is also fourteen, just married.

"The people's daughter Xia, I have seen the Queen Mother, the mother is a thousand years old, and Wanfu Jin'an." Xia's mouth is very pleasing.

The Queen Mother was full of joy, holding her little hand and talking, looking very kind, Xia was curious and a little apprehensive, the Majesty she was going to marry made him a little uneasy, remembering that when he first entered the palace, this Majesty also ran to find himself, but no one saw it, I heard that His Majesty was taught by the first emperor back then, does he still remember this? Will you trouble yourself and hate me!

As soon as she thought of this, Xia Shi was a little uneasy and cramped, since that time, her father always told her some things in the palace, which made her a little nervous, the Queen Mother may be able to see that who is not too young, the Queen Mother, cough cough, it's okay, but it's calmer than Xia.

In order to relax her heart and let her relax, the Queen Mother chatted with her about family life, calligraphy and painting, Xia is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, after opening the topic, Xia felt much more relaxed, and was not sent out of the palace until the afternoon.

The queen mother was very satisfied with the Xia family, and liked this little timid, and some quiet Xia Ru's daughter, and when the Xia family left, the queen mother asked the whereabouts of the emperor, and the eunuchs went to inquire, and they came back to report that they didn't know, this morning, His Majesty asked Liu Jin, the chief manager of the master of ceremonies, to announce the decree, and then leave the palace for three days.

Empress Dowager Zhang held her forehead, shook her head, and sent them out, she has no choice but to be the son of the emperor now, forget it, the mourning family doesn't care about you, and they can't control you.

Zhu Hou looked at the bustling capital, the flow of people in the streets and alleys, not without emotion, a hundred years later, all this prosperity, will disappear, when the time comes, everyone has a money rat tail hanging behind their heads, leaving their heads without hair, leaving their hair without leaving their heads, breaking the backbone of China for thousands of years, and in later generations, they have not fully recovered, and there are still people shouting that mites are prosperous.

He didn't ask himself, he really wanted to watch this great country decay, so that the Han people couldn't raise their heads for hundreds of years, and finally they were bullied by foreigners, and the pigtail dynasty was a big bane, so as their ancestor, Jianzhou Wei Jurchen, should die even more.

Enjoying all the favors and conveniences of the imperial court, giving money and food, but secretly fighting with the Tatar thorns, rebelling, and harassing the border passes, only the imperial court did not follow their wishes, so they used the excuse to make trouble, anyway, the imperial court has always had no way to take them, and there is no too effective control, so that the battle for the civil fort has laid the root of the trouble.

Emperor Chengzu Yongle said that the trouble of the Ming Dynasty came from the north, which is not unreasonable.

Zhu Houzhao just sighed secretly, and soon recovered, thinking about what to do so much, work his own, maybe there will be a different Ming, but the street is almost completely dark, and at this time, people have begun to bustle home.

This is the curfew of this era, that is, the night curfew, this era, there is no street lamp, the street is blind to the black lights, it is definitely not a good person, except for the guards patrolling the city, or people with access tokens can walk, even the minister does not dare to disobey, it can be seen that the night ban is strict, ordinary people are caught, that is the lightest board thirty, if it is heavy, that is exile.

"Your Majesty... Young master, let's not go shopping, it's going to be a night ban soon, if you are caught by the sergeant patrolling the city, the old slave has nothing, but young master, you just, the old stubborn history of the patrol city, the food is ancient, and when the time comes, it will be sideways again, you see? Liu Jin carefully explained the consequences and asked Zhu Houzhao to make his own decisions.

I saw that Zhu Houzhao really looked unhappy, but he was helpless, he didn't want to be caught by the city patrol and the imperial history to grab the pigtails, and impeach himself for leaving the palace without permission, although this thing is not big, but it doesn't sound good, where did he go, he came out in a hurry, he forgot to find a good place to go first, and only cared about playing.

Just as he was walking and looking for where to go, on the street with black lights, two women came to him, walking in a hurry, not seeing each other, and only when he walked in did he see each other, he was about to collide, at this time, Zhang Zhong suddenly rushed to the front of Zhu Houzhao, raised his palm to push the two women away, and provoked them to exclaim, "Ah." ”

Zhu Houzhao shouted, "Stop." ”

Zhang Zhong's hand was stunned in front of the second daughter, and then bowed back, Liu Jin was also about to step forward, but he took a step slowly, carefully protected Zhu Houzhao, and said to the two women; "Are you the woman who doesn't have long eyes when you walk?"

Although I couldn't see their faces clearly, judging from their voices and figures, they should not be very young, and they didn't know where they were going, so anxious.

"Miss, are you okay, you are so rude, obviously you almost hit someone, and you are so fierce, hum." This is a maid when you hear this.

Zhu Houzhao didn't mean to be angry with them, but Liu Jin didn't have much energy, seeing that Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything, his temper came at once, pointing at the little girl, and screaming; "You little hooves with a rake, look at us..."

"Steward Liu, forget it, let's go." Zhu Houzhao said lightly.

Liu Jin suddenly didn't dare to be presumptuous, and followed him quietly.

At this moment, the young lady, who had never spoken up, spoke; "Childe Yaliang, the little girl Hua Niang thanked me for this, just now Yurong took the maid to turn around Qionglou in a hurry, and collided with Childe, so I will leave." The young lady's voice was so melodious that one couldn't help but fantasize about it, as if she was holding it in her arms and feeling pity.

Zhu Houzhao coughed in embarrassment, although he couldn't see the appearance of the woman in front of him, but he also guessed that maybe she was a stunning beauty, at this time, should I behave more gracefully and send them away, by the way, where is Qionglou? Restaurants? Or is it a teahouse? Hua Niang, he is a little moved.

"It's not strict under the discipline, the beauty of the collision, it's really abrupt, under the surname Zhu, the name Shou, is a scholar, Enke is imminent, plus the time is in a hurry, I didn't find a place to live for a while, I'm ashamed to say it, it's late at night, it seems that today I am waiting for the master and servant, I'm afraid I'm going to sleep on the street, I heard Miss Hua just mentioned Qionglou, I don't know if it's an inn, that's right, we have nowhere to go, isn't this fate." Both of them briefly introduced their names.

Zhu Houzhao talks funny, a scholar, he is still a young and graceful son, the master and servant of the flower girl have relaxed their vigilance, these days, the reader is good.

But Liu Jin behind him suddenly felt bad, Qiong Lou! That's not a good place, Your Majesty, if the Queen Mother or the ministers knew that the slave maid took His Majesty out of the palace to Qionglou, then he wouldn't be beaten to death by Liu Li Xie and the three old horsemen.

Then Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, but in the first emperor's dynasty, he dared to hunt down and kill the ministers in front of the civil and military officials and the first emperor, holding a golden gourd in the Manchu Dynasty, well, these are not important, the most important thing is that you let me and Zhang Zhong's two fathers-in-law go to that kind of place with you, is it really good?

"Young master, ahem, I'll see ·····." Liu Jin shut up again.

Zhu Houzhao interrupted him and said; "Tonight, Ben Shao will live in Qionglou."

Every time I can't finish speaking, I am interrupted by Zhu Houzhao, which is very uncomfortable Okay, forget it, you are Your Majesty, what you do is right.

Zhang Zhong was silent, very honest, like a wooden man, he still knew where Qionglou was, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he glanced at Liu Jin, and was indifferent, he was only finally the emperor, as for where His Majesty was going, he didn't care, who threatened His Majesty, this is what he cared about.

The flower girl covered her mouth and chuckled with a sneering face, but quickly recovered, thinking, she is still a nerd.

"Oh, then Childe, please follow the little girl, we have to go back soon, and the soldiers patrolling the city will start patrolling the city." The flower girl is anxious.

Zhu Houzhao felt that his heart was about to melt, the voice was so beautiful, the flower girl and the maid passed by him, and there was a burst of fragrant wind, this fragrance was very fresh, not cheesy at all, but I don't know what kind of spice it is made of.

Hua Niang wore a face towel on her face, Qionglou finally arrived, on the street they had just passed, and it didn't take long to walk, almost half a pillar of incense arrived.

Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded, when he stood downstairs in Qiong, the light revealed in the building, the delicate and delicate shadow of the shining flower girl, and the charming nature, made him think of one of the verses of Bai Juyi's long-hated song that has been sung through the ages.

However, when he swept a vertical flower card out of the corner of his eye, the place in front of him made him speechless anymore, and at this time, he remembered what Liu Jin was going to say before, probably to stop himself.

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao's face, and knew that His Majesty was stunned, and complained in his heart, the slave wants to stop you, but you don't listen, no wonder the old slave me.

"Liu Jin, Qionglou is a fireworks land, wouldn't the flower girl ·····." Zhu Houzhao was sluggish for a while, and his face was unhappy.

At this time, Hua Niang's voice came again, saying, "Zhu Gongzi looks down on my little girl from Qionglou. Hua Niang was a little bitter and asked with grievances and loss.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't tell what it felt, and he was inexplicably a little irritable in his heart, but when he heard Hua Niang's wonderful and pleasant ears, and listened to her lost and aggrieved expression, Zhu Houzhao calmed down and opened the fan with a "snap", shook it twice, pretended not to care, and said; "I don't know where Qionglou went? In addition, I was anxious to want this place to stay, so I was distracted, so that the young lady smiled, I am not those pedantic nerds, Steward Liu, Zhang Zhong, let's go. ”

Hua Niang also saw Zhu Houzhao's face clearly, and said that it was false if she was not impressed, after all, there were not many readers like Zhu Houzhao who were not pedantic, and who were very generous and funny, but there were not many people, those pretentious talents in the past, but they were not embarrassed, how could this Zhu Gongzi enter here so generously, that time they were not secretive, for fear of being seen.

That's right, the scholars in my dynasty seem to be forbidden to enter and leave these places, isn't Zhu Gongzi afraid? It seems that he is really a stunned young man~!
