Chapter Ninety-Five: Please cooperate with the performance of the mourners
Zhu Youzhu arrived in the Qianqing Palace.
sat down, but he had no intention of dealing with state affairs, and his body was still trembling after a long time.
Rejecting his wife was also a challenge for him, and looking back, he didn't even understand where the courage came from.
"Your Majesty......"
Although the eunuchs next to him did not go to Kunning Palace with Zhu Youji, with their understanding of the emperor's temperament, it seemed that the emperor had suffered some great grievances.
The person who can make the emperor angry or frightened and tremble, except for the will of heaven, is probably the only one.
Other than that, even the Queen Mother can't do it.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Youzhu looked at Dai Yi who was speaking.
Dai Yi said: "The Empress Dowager is an old man, please come over to Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Youzhu got up, wanting to obey the order, but he hesitated a little at his feet.
After pacing back and forth, he calmed down a little and took Dai Yi to Renshou Palace.
……
……
"Imperial grandmother, it's night, why did you call your grandson over? But what is there in the palace that makes you unhappy? ”
Zhu Youzhi was filial piety, and in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he was well disguised.
He didn't want to bring the conflict between his husband and wife to his elders.
Empress Dowager Zhou looked at him with a warm and kind smile, and said, "I learned that you are still in the Qianqing Palace today, and it is so hard, can't the mourning family ask you to come and have a cup of tea together to catch up with the old days?" ”
"That's not what my grandson meant."
Zhu Youzhu lowered his head, not daring to look at the Empress Dowager Zhou.
Unlike ordinary grandsons and grandmothers, the Empress Dowager Zhou carried almost the only family bond in Zhu Youji's childhood.
After getting married, the person who had the greatest influence on him was naturally Empress Zhang, but before that...... Only this grandmother is his real relative.
In the case of Wan Guifei's exclusive favor of the Sixth Palace at that time, if it weren't for this grandmother, who would dare to give him any good looks? Even his old father, Emperor Chenghua, has never seen Zhu Youzhu since he was a child and grew up, so he can't talk about any deep feelings.
"I heard that the mourning family has been very serious about Zhang Bingkuan recently, and he is quite good at healing, so didn't you let him show you your body?"
Empress Dowager Zhou seems to be gossiping.
This leads to the first topic.
Zhang Zhou cured.
But obviously, Empress Dowager Zhou looks so kind and gentle on the surface, she can see through many things in her heart.
Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "Look, he also prescribed a lot of prescriptions for his grandson, and encouraged his grandson to go out for a walk more." The grandson listened to him, and recently he felt much stronger. ”
If you can't share it with your wife, talking to your elders can not only comfort your elders' worries, but also be a way to confide.
"Very good." Empress Dowager Zhou nodded with satisfaction, "To say that the mourning family has seen so many people, and there is only him who is as sincere and kind as him, except for you." ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Youzhu didn't expect the old lady to have such a high evaluation of Zhang Zhou.
It stands to reason that Li Guang is dead, and the Empress Dowager Zhou should strengthen her guard against potential Li Guang's successor, why not guard against Zhang Zhou, but still praise Zhang Zhou like this?
From Zhu Youji's point of view, that can only show ......
Zhang Zhou is really such a good person, even the imperial grandmother, who is very picky about the Taoist family, can't find fault.
Empress Dowager Zhou said: "Where has he been recently?" I didn't ask him to come over and talk to the mourning family, who also liked to talk to young people about things outside. ”
"Back to the emperor's grandmother's words, the grandson transferred him to teach the prince, and the grandson recently asked the prince to study behind closed doors in the East Palace, and he was not allowed to come out, to find someone who could teach him, and at the same time to remind him...... Sun Er had seen so many speakers of the East Palace before, and found that only Bingkuan could cure the prince. ”
"Really?" Empress Dowager Zhou smiled, "Even the prince is afraid of him?" It's hard to come by. The choice of a famous teacher. ”
Zhu Youzhu seemed to be showing his friend to the elders, and said with a smile: "Actually, my grandson always thinks that if my grandson was not born in the royal family, he will definitely be able to be friends with Bingkuan." ”
Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head: "As an emperor, how can you easily be friends with others?" ”
Zhu Youzhu felt that the old lady was blaming him for his gaffe, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Grandson, remember." ”
But after listening to Empress Dowager Zhou's words, she said: "It's not easy to be friends, but if you want to be a righteous brother who takes care of each other, you can." ”
"Huh?"
The old lady was a little panting when she spoke today, and Zhu Youzhu didn't expect it.
Don't be friends, be brothers?
It's not that I don't have brothers, so why should I find a brother with a different surname? I don't have any friends around me to talk to!
Empress Dowager Zhou said: "The mourning family has nothing to do recently, so they listened to the story of Liu Guanzhang of the Three Kingdoms, Taoyuan has been united and experienced all the way through the wind and rain, which is not only the righteousness of brothers, but also the friendship of monarchs and ministers. ”
"Imperial Grandmother ......"
Zhu Youzhu actually wanted to say.
Isn't it a bit out of place to talk about this topic today?
I haven't known Zhang Zhou for so long, and I admire him very much, but it's good to be friends, and I haven't said that I want to take care of each other and stick a knife in my ribs.
"The mourner wants to remind you that he has done so many things for you, and you should be sincere to him." Empress Dowager Zhou said.
"Yes." Zhu Youzhu nodded, "Sun Er thinks so too." It's a pity that he is not a jinshi yet. ”
"Good. Just remember! ”
Empress Dowager Zhou didn't ask Zhang Zhou about his preparation for the exam, and suddenly changed the topic, "The queen and the little great-granddaughter of the mourning family, are they okay?" ”
"Very good." Zhu Youzhu nodded.
Empress Dowager Zhou said: "The mourning family has been old for the past two years, and everything should be put down, but there is one thing that has been swirling in my heart recently, and it will not go away for a long time. It was two times that I dreamed of the emperor...... It's your father, the same scene in the dream. ”
Zhu Youzhu didn't take it seriously.
But I heard that it was my father's dream, or the same twice, with his filial piety, he naturally cared very much.
"What dream did your father give you?"
"The mourning family saw the emperor climb a tree, it seems to be the one next to the Jiaotai Hall when he was a child, he used to like to climb, and the mourning family said next to him, come down and come down, don't fall, and then your father will grow up at once."
"Then the tree flew away, and your father shouted from above, but he didn't want the mourning family to save him, but he was just trying his best to tell the mourning family something...... I just can't hear it...... The chase kept on and on, and only when it reached a vast ocean did the tree stop...... And then the tree was like a lonely boat, carrying your father and the emperor away, and the tree was really luxuriant......"
When Zhu Youzhu heard this, he vaguely heard some signs.
But he didn't.
Empress Dowager Zhou said: "It may be that your father is over there, he misses you very much, and he is afraid that you will not be able to govern the country, and he wants to tell you something through the mourning family, but how can the immortal family easily let him leak the secret of heaven?" I guess he had to hint at it in this way. ”
Zhu Youzhu asked, "Did the imperial grandmother have any other dreams?" ”
"There are often dreams, but the mourning family is too old, and they always forget things recently, and they remember it very clearly in their dreams, but they don't remember it when they wake up." Empress Dowager Zhou looked very regretful.
"Then the imperial grandmother should also go out for a walk, I heard that it helps with sleep."
"Good boy, it's rare that you care about the body of the emperor's grandmother, take good care of yourself, and the mourning family also hopes that you can govern the Ming Dynasty to prosperity, everyone says that you are a rare Ming monarch for the ages......"
……
……
Zhu Youzhu chatted with the Empress Dowager Zhou for a long time, and when she came out, it was already late at night.
Dai Yi had been following the emperor before, and naturally he had heard the dream that sounded very bizarre and nonsense, the emperor may not understand, but Dai Yi tasted the taste.
Empress Dowager Zhou is talking to the emperor in a dream.
Whether the dream is true or not, is another story.
"Dai Yi, what do you say about the dream of the Empress Dowager?" Zhu Youzhu suddenly stopped and asked.
Dai Yi could only pretend to be confused: "The old slave doesn't know." Your Majesty, dreams of such a thing are not accurate. ”
Zhu Youzhu said: "The Empress Dowager said that she did it twice, there must be some hint, but unfortunately I don't know much about it, and I vaguely grasp something, but I can't say why." ”
Dai Yi followed the order of the topics that Empress Dowager Zhou talked to the emperor, went back a bit, and suggested with his understanding: "Then why don't you ask Mr. Zhang?" He can even speculate and interpret dreams...... It shouldn't be difficult. ”
"But he is now accompanying the crown prince ......," Zhu Youzhi obviously wanted to ask Zhang Zhou.
This kind of godly chatter will definitely not be believed by rational people, and they will feel bizarre and nonsense, but for a sensual person like Zhu Youji, who believes in Taoism himself, it can be said that he is convinced.
Zhu Youzhu felt that this must be a warning from God to him.
Empress Dowager Zhou is also obviously prescribing the right medicine.
If you don't believe it, why are you telling you this?
Dai Yi said: "Then Your Majesty, it is better to let the old slave go and ask him secretly, so as not to disturb him to teach the prince, and besides, the prince may have fallen asleep." ”
"Okay, there you go! I'm waiting for you in the Qianqing Palace! ”
"Yes!"
……
……
When Dai Yi went to the East Palace, he had a smile on his face, but when he arrived at the East Palace, he put his smile back on.
Inside, Liu Jin had just finished his shift and was about to go back to sleep.
"Grandpa Dai?"
Even the people of Jinyiwei also discovered Dai Yi, and suddenly everyone was in good spirits.
Dai Yi asked, "Your Majesty asked our family to take a look, the prince and Mr. Zhang ......"
When Liu Jin heard Dai Yidu call Mr. Zhang Zhou, he was very angry, but he said respectfully: "They are all inside, and the bed where Mr. Zhang is resting has been made, and it is next door to the prince's bedroom." ”
"Okay, take us in and have a look!"
Liu Jin led the way and brought Dai Yi inside.
As soon as I entered the temple gate, I heard Zhu Houzhao laughing "hahaha" there, and he was still saying, "Do you think this person is stupid?" ”
When Dai Yi heard it, did he guess that I came to interpret the dream? Still calling me stupid? Great!
When I listened to it again, I realized that Zhu Houzhao was talking about the people in the story.
Liu Jin took the opportunity to instigate: "Tell a story!" Didn't learn much! ”
Dai Yi didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Jin, so he asked people to carry the lantern to the inner hall, and the people inside also found the light.
"Who? Father? Erchen knows that he is wrong, let Erchen go out! ”
Zhu Houzhao thought it was his father coming, but when he saw that it was Dai Yi, he raised his eyebrows: "It's you again?" Why are you running here when you have nothing to do? ”
Obviously, in the past few days, it is not the first time that Dai Yi has come, he is only responsible for coming to the inspector.
But today is an exception, there is an extra Zhang Zhou in it.
Zhang Zhou got up and said with a smile: "Today's class has ended, and I am telling the prince a historical story, and Grandpa Dai will also listen to it?" ”
"No need!"
Dai Yi looked around and saw that there was no trace of loosening of the wooden planks bound to the window, so he said, "Mr. Zhang, please come out for a while, we have something to ask you." ”
Zhu Houzhao said: "What can't be said here? ”
Liu Jin hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, Father-in-law Dai just said a few words to Mr. Zhang and left, and he won't be delayed for too long." ”
"Go and come back!"
Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to follow, and said ...... He was also not allowed to go out, and once he approached the door, the Jinyi guard would unceremoniously bring him back, and it was useless to threaten him.
Those brocade guards were even more afraid of being cut off.
……
……
Dai Yi and Zhang Zhou got along alone, and Dai Yi also directly told the dream of the Empress Dowager Zhou, as well as Zhu Youji's letting Zhang Zhou interpret the dream.
After Zhang Zhou listened, he smiled and said: "The rootless tree is rooted in the boundless, such a simple dream, Dai Gonggong really doesn't know what it means?" ”
Dai Yi smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhang, you are a smart person, and you should understand...... Some dreams are only dreams if you solve them, and others don't even solve them! ”
