At this time, there was a knock on the door outside: "Lu Shi reads!" ”

Lu Qi opened the door and saw that it was Jinyiwei's spy, and he hugged his fists and said, "Lu Shiyu, are you okay?" ”

"This official is fine, how are you doing over there?"

"Fang Cai was guarding the door of the prison according to your orders, and I saw Shou Ninghou's sedan chair coming." The spy entered the door and whispered

"How?"

"He said something to Qiu Rong, then got into the sedan chair and left, looking in his direction, he was going to the palace!"

Lu Qi slapped his head: "It's broken!" When he went to the palace, he must have gone to find his own sister, the queen mother! Spread the news to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

"Yes!"

The history books say that Emperor Hongzhi has a very good relationship with Empress Zhang, and even took the Zhang family to ascend to heaven.

Lu Qi's heart was bottomless.

……

Green smoke curls, and the magic sword flies.

The three clear bells shook in bursts, and when they heard the sound of prayers and chanting, in front of the stone turtle stele in the Lingji Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials stood in line, and the prince Zhu Houzhao stood in front with a long incense in his hand, following the instructions of the ceremonial officials, and praying to the four directions of heaven and earth.

After the prayer is finished, there is a Taoist child who asks for incense to be inserted in the furnace, and finally shakes the bell once, and all the Taoists have words to recite it, so that the blessing is finally completed.

The civil and military ministers took a temporary rest, and they had their own trails to serve tea, cakes and fruits.

The next thing is to return to Beijing, and you need to repeat the operation when you came, and there is still some rest time before Honglu Temple arranges the honor guard.

The Taoist priests had already prepared a chessboard to pass the time, and the eunuchs surrounded Zhu Houzhao into the pavilion.

"Is there any news from Lu Shiyu?" Zhu Houzhao also had no intention of playing chess, but only set up a game slightly, and asked impatiently.

The eunuch and the brocade guard both shook their heads: "I haven't received any news from Lu Shiyu, just now I only said that if there is an abnormal situation and come back to report, maybe nothing will happen, right?" ”

What to say, as soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, Zhu Houzhao saw a spy come in from the side door: "Report!" ”

Putting down the tea cup, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "Speak quickly!" How's it going? ”

"That Qiu Rong really wants to kill people, Lu Shiyu has rescued the witness, but the child is seriously injured and is now placed in a medical hall in the city!"

The spy continued: "Finding out that the matter was revealed, the Marquis of Shouning went to the palace, and Lu Shiyu ordered the lowly Pegasus to report to the prince!" ”

Listening to this, Zhu Houzhao stood up: "Then Lu Shiyu is okay, right?" ”

"The lowly post came in a hurry, and I didn't ask in detail." The spy paused for a moment: "It's just that I just saw that the red Luo clothes on Lu Shiyu's body seem to have some blood stains......"

"This Shou Ning Hou!"

Zhu Houzhao was furious, flew up and kicked over the sandalwood chess box on the table, and the two-colored jade chess pieces were scattered all over the ground: "How dare he touch my people!" ”

Liu Jin hurriedly came up to persuade him: "Prince, don't be angry, anger hurts your body!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhu Houzhao said, picked up his robe and ran out: "Tell Honglu Temple and the ministers of civil and military affairs, I am impatient to take a sedan chair, let them go back to Beijing according to the system, I will take a team of people back first!" ”

"Prince!"

The honor guards and horses were ready-made, but they were much faster than preparing the sedan chair, and when the ministers came to dissuade them, Zhu Houzhao ran away early.

Only a few scholars were left to sigh.

……

Under the leadership of the spies, Zhu Houzhao quickly rushed to the hospital and ordered people to seal off half of the street.

"Your Highness?"

Lu Qi was stunned, didn't he let him enter the palace quickly? How did you find this place?

Zhu Houzhao was still wearing a red dragon robe that symbolized the crown prince, and he didn't even bring a guard of honor with him, so he hurriedly ran to Lu Qi's side after getting off the horse, looking up and down:

"Lu Shiyu isn't injured, right?"

The relationship made a special trip, just to ask her if she was hurt?

There was suddenly some warmth in his heart, and an imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of Lu Qi's mouth: "Weichen is fine, this is Wei Cheng's blood, oh, it's that child." In order to protect Weichen, he was injured by the cell boss. ”

"Cell boss?"

Lu Qi briefly told the whole story, and when he heard it, Zhu Houzhao was already furious: "What a Shouning Hou, what a fierce slave!" Wait, I'll go into the palace to tell my father! ”

"We're going with you."

……

Since more than ten days ago, Emperor Hongzhi was exempted from the court meeting because of his physical discomfort, and the palace thought that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and because of the evil moon, he had sent Taoist priests to congratulate him several times.

After the treatment of the imperial doctor, the condition is always endless, and I have just taken medicine at this time, and my spirit is slightly better.

The only one who can see Emperor Hongzhi is Zhu Houzhao.

"Zhao'er is back?" Emperor Hongzhi's face was still pale, but in front of his son, he still tried to squeeze out a smile: "How are you doing to pray for blessings today?" ”

Zhu Houzhao stood up and said, "Follow the steps, and there will be a reminder from the etiquette officer next to you, so you won't make a mistake." ”

"Hahahaha......" Emperor Hongzhi patted him on the shoulder, his eyes were deep: "You still have to learn." ”

Seeing that his father's body was still very weak, Zhu Houzhao's eyes hesitated for a few seconds, and he was quickly noticed by Emperor Hongzhi: "What's wrong?" ”

"Zhao'er, what do you have to hide from me...... What about Liu Jin? None of the people who followed you came, so count the hours, you came back too early! Emperor Hongzhi's eyes sharpened.

Zhu Houzhao took out the paper from his arms and handed it to the father-in-law Miao who was standing: "Actually, this morning, my son was ordered to pray for blessings, but he encountered a lawsuit from the people!" Father-in-law Miao, read it. ”

“！！”

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes when he heard this.

Before the father and son could say anything, they heard a sound of footsteps outside, and the little eunuch came in and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there are five or six ministers outside the noon gate who want to meet Your Majesty!" ”

"I'm slightly ill, I don't listen to the concert today, let them go back." Emperor Hongzhi rubbed his eyebrows, and Gonggong Miao was busy serving tea to relieve fatigue.

"Yes."

After a while, the little eunuch went and returned: "Your Majesty, the ministers all say that if Your Majesty is gone, they will kneel outside the noon gate and wait!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi was overwhelmed: "Then let them in, and I will listen to what they have to say!" ”

These people are all following the large army and have just returned from Lingji Palace, in fact, most of them are just suing the emperor.

There is also a report that the prison has been messed up, this is Shuntianfu; It is not in accordance with the etiquette system to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to Beijing in advance, this is Honglu Temple.

In comparison, blocking streets and the like is a trifle.

Emperor Hongzhi is angry and annoyed, how long has it been since he saw it? The government and the opposition actually made so many troubles.

"I see." Emperor Hongzhi raised his chin to Gonggong Miao:

"Intended! As the uncle of the country, Shou Ninghou was not strict in his rule, indulged in evil, did not set an example for the imperial family, acted perversely, and immediately took down and put him in prison!

Qiu Rong, the evil slave, forced the good to be a prostitute, harmed the people in the township, and handed over to Dali Temple to discuss the crime! ”
