Mandarin Palace.

On this day, Zhu Houzhao was listening to the lecture listlessly, and his heart was already wandering out of the world, thinking about going outside to play after class, thinking about the new route out of the palace that he had not escaped from the palace for a long time...... Suddenly, there was a burst of excitement in my heart, and then I couldn't help but smile on my face.

Wang Wei on the pulpit saw that this kid's expression was abnormal, and he probably knew that the bear child was thinking nonsense again.

Wang Weizhengse knocked on the desk, ready to pull Zhu Houzhao's spirit back.

But it was Zhu Houzhao who parted his head, and said a few words to Qiu Ju, who had been waiting next to him, and Qiu Ju ran in the direction of the entrance of the hall.

"Prince, what are you going to do?" Wang Wei said with a straight face.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Oh, it's okay sir, this palace just remembered to let him do something, just ask a few words, it's nothing to study." Sir, just talk about it. ”

Wang Wei was angry.

Teach his disciples to read, but this prince has no shame and pity, and he doesn't know how to respect teachers, thinking that this kind of person will rule the world in the future...... I felt that it might be that my guidance was not enough, and if I wanted to build the prince into a qualified prince, I needed the East Palace speaker to work harder.

Suddenly, Wang Wei thought of Zhang Zhou.

I also don't understand why Zhang Zhou can convince this kid every time...... I wanted to learn a thing or two from Zhang Zhou, but I knew that it was so inconsistent with my identity and style, so I could only continue to teach with a little regret.

……

……

End of class.

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly ran out, but Qiu Ju on the other side had already come over with his guys.

He hurriedly beckoned people into the inner hall and changed into the clothes he was going to leave the palace, which were the clothes of a little eunuch, because he had grown taller, and his previous clothes were a little inappropriate, which caused him to feel very awkward after wearing them.

"It's a little cold, is there anything thicker?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Qiu Ju helped Zhu Houzhao tidy up his clothes, and said, "Your Highness, this is the clothes you found someone to make half a year ago, and it is normal that it is a little inappropriate now, and you are growing up very fast now." Why don't you put another one on the outside? ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "If you put one piece on, is it still like a word?" Dressed differently from others, didn't the janitor recognize me right away? ”

Qiu Ju stopped talking.

Gao Feng next to him reminded: "Your Highness, Master Wang, they will arrive at the gate of the palace as soon as they speak, and it will be too late to chase after them." ”

"Hmph, it's okay, when they leave the palace, you just say that the prince has something to give them, prepare the empty box, and follow eagerly when the time comes...... Since it's a reward, let's chase it so that I can get away with it. ”

Zhu Houzhao squinted with a smile, feeling that he had thought of a seamless plan.

Suddenly, he shivered again and said, "It's cold." ”

Gao Feng said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you may get sick like this." ”

"It's okay, just change your clothes after leaving the palace, the little eunuch has found it, right? Changed into the clothes of the main palace, let him be in the east palace, and said to the outside world that I was losing my temper and no one was seen. In order to facilitate his exit from the palace, Zhu Houzhao also found a stand-in for himself.

Gao Feng asked, "Then what if Your Majesty and the Empress Mother send someone to invite you over?" ”

"Will it?" Zhu Houzhao pouted and said, "My father and mother are too lazy to take care of me, and I can understand it, now I am my father who doesn't love my mother, and it's not as good as Zhu Houxuan's stinky boy, a doll with a bigger fart, it's likable." Maybe the youngest sons in the family are more favored, if the father has another son, Zhu Houxuan's good days will come to an end, and he will be like me sooner or later. ”

A few eunuchs next to him listened, and there was a chill in their hearts.

This bear kid seems to have a very strong ability to summarize, thinking about it, the emperor doesn't seem to care much about the prince's schoolwork recently, and he used to come to peek often, but now he hasn't been here for a few months.

The prince only has four or five days a month to see his parents, and every time he basically sends someone to summon him, or Zhu Houzhao himself insists on going.

"Have you brought the silver?"

"With me."

"The wooden box, you must bring it well, when you go out, you can use it as a shield, and when you come back, you can load things, and when you come back, you will say that you missed the time when the palace gate closes tonight, stay outside the palace for a night, give those people a little benefit, and they will shut up!"

“……”

"It's still quite cold, it's already nine cold winters, right? Why does it feel like this autumn is so long? Hasn't it been the wax moon yet? ”

"Your Highness, this year is the seventh month of leap July, so it feels like autumn is very long, but it's actually ......"

"Okay, okay, what does it matter how many months he has, what do you have to do with me? When I got out, I found a dress to wear, and I left! ”

"Your Highness, where are you going after leaving the palace?"

"Just find a place to play, if you don't have a place to stay at night, I'll go to my uncle and second uncle's house, they are both in Beijing now, right? Hey, it suddenly occurred to me that the two of them have been very honest recently, and it's rare not to cause trouble. ”

Several eunuchs were thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might not be able to know anything else, but his understanding of his two uncles was really ...... Hit the nail on the head.

"Hurry up, or it'll be too late. Qiu Ju, you go out of the palace with me, and the rest of you are covering me, have you found a few troublemakers? Let them go with me, and I will be among them......"

……

……

It's not night yet.

Zhu Youzhu was still dealing with court affairs in Xinuan Pavilion, Li Zhang came in a hurry, with a little fear in his expression, and only after he explained the situation to Chen Kuan, did he come to the seat where Zhu Youzhu was sitting.

"Is there something wrong?" Zhu Youzhu didn't raise his head, and glanced at Li Zhang with the afterglow of his eyes, "Is there any news from Bingkuan?" ”

Li Zhang said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, it's the prince who has left the palace." ”

When Zhu Youzhu heard this, he frowned slightly, put down the pen in his hand, and then raised his head and said, "When is it?" ”

Li Zhang said: "Just now, the prince's excuse was ...... The prince wanted to send some bundles to the speakers of the East Palace, and let a few slaves and maids go out to chase the gentlemen of the East Palace who had just left the palace, and he was mixed in the group, so ...... Went out. ”

"Didn't Gong Ban notice it?" Zhu Youzhu was a little angry.

Thinking about it again, if the palace ban didn't find out, how could Li Zhang come to report?

"Why don't you stop it?" Zhu Youzhi added.

Li Zhang said helplessly: "The palace guards are indeed ...... I didn't realize that now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's body is ...... Growing taller, in a group of little slaves...... The slave maid does not say that the prince is a slave, but that he ...... The prince was mixed in with them, and it was indeed difficult to detect. It was the people in Dongchang who noticed it and specially reported it to the slave maid, and the slave maid also sent someone to secretly protect the prince, by the way...... Come and play. ”

"He's messing around!"

Zhu Youzhu got angry, slapped the table and said, "Can you still be fooled by him like this?" Those people don't want jobs anymore, or don't they want brains? Just expect them to keep the palace safe? ”

Chen Kuan hurriedly helped: "Your Majesty, the people who leave the palace have always been very loose, mainly to prevent people from entrained, and this time it is a gift in the name of the prince, ordinary people...... I didn't dare to use this reason to leave the palace. ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Youzhu thought about it, too.

pretending to wear the prince's dictation, and also sending things in the name of the prince, if this is investigated in the future, it will definitely be a matter of losing his head.

The palace guards probably didn't expect anyone to be so bold, but the prince himself could be so nonsense.

Moreover, this time his son was obviously prepared to leave the palace, not only with costumes and props, but also with actors in advance, and he was mixed in...... Zhu Youzhu suddenly realized that it seemed that his son seemed to be quite outstanding in other aspects besides studying.

"When I was young, I wasn't like him......"

Zhu Youzhu wanted to say that he was not as foolish as him.

But when they heard Chen Kuan, it was more like saying that I was not as smart as this bear kid back then, and I still had the ability to sneak out of the palace by myself, and not once or twice.

"But he's only eleven years old! Just like that, he can run out, everyone on duty will be held accountable, hit the board, and then deduct salary! So be it. ”

Zhu Youzhu felt that this wind could not be raised, and his son was reluctant to start, so he would be angry with the derelict palace guards.

Chen Kuan said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince has been busy with schoolwork recently, and he really shouldn't leave the palace, so should he be chased back now?" ”

"Recovery ......"

Zhu Youzhu thought for a while and sighed, "At the beginning, Bingkuan told me that sometimes following the child's wishes is not necessarily conniving, and sometimes it can also reap some counterproductive effects. Chase him back, he will also find his way out of the palace, as long as every time he goes out, it is within my control, then it doesn't matter if he is in the palace or outside the palace. ”

Li Zhang hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the slaves and maids have sent hundreds of people to protect them in secret, and they can coordinate with the brocade clothes and guards at any time. ”

"It's not enough." Zhu Youzhu said, "When protecting, you can't reveal your identity." If the prince goes to some places where the flow of goods is complicated, he must also be restrained. ”

"Yes."

Li Zhang received the order.

"You go too." Zhu Youzhu said, "Accompany him, if he really doesn't listen, you will come forward and tell him, and if you don't obey, you will go back to the palace!" Be sure to let him come back tomorrow morning! So be it. ”

Not only Li Zhang was surprised, but even Chen Kuan was a little surprised.

The emperor seemed to have gradually relaxed his control over the crown prince.

They all seem to be aware of a problem.

When the emperor has two sons, there will be more indulgence in the eldest son, and it is really like one dying and the other...... Double insurance belongs to yes.

……

……

What Zhu Youzhu is afraid of is that after his son leaves the palace, he will go to some places with complicated tastes.

And the purpose of Zhu Houzhao out of the palace is to feel the fireworks in the world, naturally he drills where there are more people, as for the danger or something...... It has never been the first thing that the bear child thinks about when he sneaks out to play, probably because the disaster is not over, he is not worried.

"The place in front is good, what are the bunch of people talking about? Go over and listen. Zhu Houzhao saw a teahouse, where a bunch of people seemed to be chatting, and he was about to run over to join in the fun.

Qiu Ju, who came out with him, hurriedly said: "Childe, there are many people in that place, if there are assassins or something, it will not be good." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked down at the clothes he had just changed into, and asked, "I'm like this, I don't even look like a noble son, who will assassinate me?" Do you mean that among the people who helped me out of the palace today, there are people who want to be unfavorable to me, right? When I was a child, I was able to run out by myself, and even ran to Yingtianfu by myself, that time it was so far, and I didn't see any danger, what are you afraid of this time? ”

"That ......"

Qiu Ju didn't seem to be able to refute it.

Two years earlier, Zhang Zhou was transferred to Nanjing, and Zhu Houzhao followed him all the way, and Zhu Houzhao was able to come back safe and sound at that time, and now it seems that there is no need to worry about this.

Zhu Houzhao rushed in, found a corner and sat down, and then Dr. Tea came over and said with a smile: "Hey, little boy, this is not the place you came from, do you want to change the place to go to the cool?" ”

Zhu Houzhao slapped his big hand on the table, and the scattered silver of the two coins fell on the table, and said, "Is it enough to drink a cup of tea and fill your stomach?" ”

This also blinded Dr. Tea.

This kid's shot is generous, looking at this is not a bad money master, you must know that the people who come out this year can take a few copper plates, and those who can directly take out the silver are powerful masters, not to mention that they shoot the silver directly on the table.

"You wait, refreshments greet you."

Dr. Tea hurriedly collected the money and went inside to make arrangements.

……

……

At the same time, Jin Yiwei commanded Mu Bin to just arrive outside the teahouse, because it was close to sunset and the sky was still bright, Mu Bin didn't dare to get too close.

"Master, Gong Li said, and then come over and let you keep an eye on it first." The subordinates came over to report to Mu Bin.

"Hmm."

Mu Bin stared at Zhu Houzhao in the teahouse, and felt nervous for no reason, if there was an assassin hidden in it, and he would immediately start to assassinate him, this side would be beyond the reach of the whip.

But I heard a lot of people in the teahouse talking.

One of them, who looked like a down-and-out scholar, boasted of what he had seen: "...... That old man Zhang is a man who stands up to the sky, and this time he led the troops to fight the Tartars, and he must have been able to capture them. Grab one with his left hand and one with his right hand, just like his ancestors, who once defeated the Southern Army. ”

"The old capital."

"Isn't it? When the capital was moved, it was when my old man was young, and later he often faced us juniors, and you young people didn't know about it. There are no good people in the south, they are all a group of crooked melons and cracked dates, and the people in the capital in the north of us are called a person who stands up to the sky, and Old Man Zhang is a model for our northerners. ”

There is a kind of arrogance in the world.

A young man said: "The British Duke has not heard of any merits in the past few years, can he beat the Tartars?" Don't get caught up in the Tartars. ”

"Isn't it?" There are also people next to me who are not used to listening.

In the Ming Dynasty, although the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven have their own arrogance, but because of the heavy regional migration, the people in the capital in the middle of the Ming Dynasty were also a large gathering place, and there were many people coming and going from the south to the north, so the regional prejudice would be much lighter.

"Tartar is brave, it's useless to expect anything to stand up to the sky now."

"In the future, don't just move your mouth! Haven't you heard of that cannon? One shot can hit out a few miles, a bomb can blow up a few miles, where the fire bomb passes, that is not an inch of grass, no matter how brave the Tartar is, there is a fire bomb brave? ”

"Even if it's a fire bomb, it's also done by Cai Guogong when he was in the dynasty, what happened to Guan surnamed Zhang? The reputation of the surname Zhang is not very good, they all say that he is corrupt and perverts the law, and even his subordinates are mean, this kind of person leads the army, who will obey? ”

"That's right, that's right."

A bunch of people gossip.

The old capital couldn't listen anymore, interrupted the discussion of the people present, and said loudly: "You are just short-sighted, the cavalry of my dynasty relies on the breakthrough, which cavalry should you be the most fierce?" Of course, the cavalry of the Beijing camp is the bravest, after all, it is to defend the Beijing division, can the emperor put all the good soldiers outside? This time, Old Man Zhang brought over the most elite cavalry in the Beijing Division, fighting a top fight. ”

"Is it that powerful? The cavalry in the capital seems to be nothing more than that. ”

"Housheng, if your words are heard by those soldiers in the capital, you will be poked with two big holes in your body."

"Hahaha......"

……

……

A group of people talked hilariously.

Zhu Houzhao next to him listened very energetically, as if he hadn't been in this atmosphere for a long time, and there was a lot of pleasure in drinking wine and eating meat, and then bragging loudly.

As a person who likes to join in the fun, Zhu Houzhao is not willing to just listen to this group of people, he wants to participate in it.

"Childe, be cautious." Qiu Ju saw Zhu Houzhao and grabbed it, and wanted to get up and make a high-minded statement, and hurriedly dissuaded him.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Understand a fart!" ”

After speaking, he immediately rushed forward a few steps, and when he arrived in front of the old capital, he said loudly: "As far as you say, the British Duke can win the battle?" You bet not? ”

The old capital was still there boasting about how awesome the soldiers in the Beijing camp were, and said that he had seen it with his own eyes, and he was talking about it, when suddenly a hairy boy burst out, and ran to the front to make a bet, he couldn't help but look around with disdain, as if he was looking for someone's child to come out and make trouble, this is to find the parents.

"I talked to you, didn't you hear?" Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

Lao Jingcheng said: "Where did you come from?" ”

"Young Master Ben just can't listen to it anymore, what are you bragging about? You have also seen how powerful the Beijing camp is, but you have never seen the majesty of the border army. Have you ever heard of firecrackers? It's just that if you hold it in your hand, you can hit hundreds of steps with a casual hook, which kind of death does it mean? Do you think it's still the same as when you used to fight with bows and arrows? Cavalry light brave fart? ”

The most boring thing about Zhu Houzhao in the palace is that no one bragged to him.

Even if there is an audience, he is the only one who speaks, and those eunuchs dare to argue with him?

But it's different outside, just in terms of identity, he is not higher than others, no matter what he discusses, it is all at the same level to speak, there is no situation of oppression with power.

Even he has a disadvantage.

Lao Jingcheng said angrily: "Which fart doll? I didn't eat a few bites of rice, and the salt didn't hold my tongue yet, so I dared to come out and be presumptuous? Who's from? Who's from? ”

"Childe......" Qiu Ju hurriedly wanted to go over and pull people.

Zhu Houzhao shook Qiu Ju's arm away, and said angrily: "The master wants to make a bet with you, everyone should be a witness, if the surnamed Zhang wins, I can give you anything." If he loses, you lose your property, do you dare to bet? ”

"Hahaha......"

A group of people were there to see the excitement.

The old capital was so bad that he couldn't get off the stage, and his face was red and said: "Crazy baby! ”

Someone laughed and said: "He Laosan, don't you boast that you can see through the situation in the northwest?" Now if someone wants to bet with you, you will take it! If you lose, lose your mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law, daughter or something to him? ”

"Why?" He Laosan said angrily.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Don't dare to bet, what are you bragging about?" Let's just put it this way, the British public is at best going to the northwest as a cover, and the affairs on the battlefield have nothing to do with him, and he can only watch others make war exploits wherever he goes. If you don't dare to bet, get out, the master looks down on you the most for being a dry and unskilled person! (End of chapter)
