Unconsciously, time flies, and now it is the second year that Du Buwang came to Guozijian, that is, the sixteenth year of Zhengde.

On the evening of March 13 of this year, Du Buxing, who was sleeping, was woken up by a knock on the door.

Du Bu Bu hurriedly opened the door, the person who came was Zhang Xi, Du Bu Bu quickly got dressed and got up, and followed Zhang Yu to the hall.

At this time, there was an additional person dressed as a eunuch in the hall.

Zhang Xi introduced to Du Yiyi:

"This is the celebrant of His Majesty the Emperor, who is in charge of the palm seal of Zhang Yong and Zhang Gonggong."

Du did not forget and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhang Yong said to a few people:

"His Majesty the Emperor may not be able to survive tomorrow now, he ordered the old slave to come and convey the will to the retainers of King Xing."

Then the pilgrimage reads:

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Zhu Houxi, the son of King Xing, has a decent image and demeanor, loyalty and filial piety, and I see it very much in love, but I have no children, and the first emperor Xiaozong is only my only son, and I am afraid that I will not have many days, so I ordered Zhu Houxi to be the emperor's younger brother, and he came to Beijing to wait for his life, and he admired this."

Then he handed the holy decree to Zhang Xi, signaled him to go to the Huguangxing Palace, and then hurried back to the palace.

After listening to the holy decree, Du did not forget to celebrate and drink with Zhang Xi and Su San.

After a few people calmed down, Zhang Xi said:

"It's time for me to rush back to the Xingwang Mansion to convey the holy decree, and the two of you and everyone in this hall should prepare for the little prince."

After saying this, he called the two servants to go out together, mounted their horses, and galloped south together.

Du Bu didn't forget to see that Zhang Xi had also left, and Su San and himself were left in this hall, so he came over and picked up Su San and said:

"San'er, now there are only the two of us left in the hall, and we haven't been intimate for many days."

Su San broke away from Du Yi, jumped down and said:

"You little devil is really cowardly now, and you don't look at the place, what if the servants see it?"

Du did not forget and replied:

"I'm a little ghost, so when you make out with me, will you still be so happy?"

Su San replied:

"You've gotten so flamboyant."

Seeing that Du Buyi seemed to be lustful again, he changed the topic and said to him:

"Don't forget, I always feel that the emperor is critically ill is not so simple, there has often been news that the emperor is critically ill before, although I have issued a holy decree at this time, but I am still not at ease for the sake of the little prince."

Du did not forget to hesitate, and then replied:

"Then I'll go to the leopard room to find out the news"?

Then he thought about it again and said:

"I don't know the topography of the leopard house, and I don't know how to find the emperor."

At this time, Su San walked into the study next to him, took out a map, and said to Du Yi:

"This is a map of the terrain guarding the leopard house, if you really want to see it, it is very guarded, but you have to pay attention to safety."

Du did not forget to look at the map a few times, although he was familiar with a lot, but he felt that he had not tried it for a long time, and it was easy to be found when he entered the courtyard wall of the leopard house, and it was very difficult to break.

Su San took out another map and handed it to Du Yi and said:

"I knew you couldn't help it after reading the map, just let you know the risk, here is a map of a ruined temple and a ruined well leading to the leopard's house."

Du didn't forget to pick up the map and look at it, there was a surprise, it turned out that there was a secret passage, so he asked Su San to take him to the broken temple, and he went down the well alone.

When he was at the wellhead, Du did not forget to look at the bottomless well, but he was a little scared, but Su San kept comforting him and said that it was okay.

Du Buyi had to muster up the courage to pull the rope to the bottom of the well, only to find that this was a dry well, and there was a secret passage ahead.

Saying that, I don't know how far I walked through the secret passage, and when I came to the end, there were actually steps in front of me.

After walking up the stairs for a short time, I opened a wooden plank on it with my hand, and saw that there was a golden splendor in front of me, which turned out to be a large hall.

This hall is very huge, look into the depth of nearly a few zhang, look at the far side of the hall seems to be a lot of iron cages, walk in to see, it is full of sleeping tigers, leopards and other ferocious animals.

Du Buyi was startled, hurriedly left, and went to the other side of the hall, and then saw that on this side of the hall, there was a large room separated, in which a middle-aged man was lying on a large bed of yellow cloth and satin, studded with various dragons, and a eunuch next to him was holding a bowl to feed him medicine.

Take a closer look, isn't the person lying on the bed the emperor Zhu Houzhao, and when the medicine feeder next to him turned his head, he saw that it was Zhang Yong.

After a while, Zhang Yong finished feeding the medicine, and walked out, Du did not forget to hide quickly, and after Zhang Yong walked out of the palace, he hurried to the bed of Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was lying on the bed weakly at this time, with half of his eyes open, looking at it, and when he saw that it didn't seem to be Zhang Yong, he was shocked and wanted to call someone, but he had no strength.

Du Buyi came to Zhu Houzhao closely, and Zhu Houzhao slowly saw the person who came, and he actually saw Du Buyi at the foot of Wudang Mountain.

Du Buyi knelt down and saluted Zhu Houzhao, then got up and asked:

"How could Your Majesty be like this"?

Zhu Houzhao shook his head weakly, and then spoke softly.

Du didn't forget to quickly put his ear in and listen, only to hear Zhu Houzhao say weakly:

"I did it all by myself, I believed in the wrong person, and I hurt Zhu Bin."

Du did not forget to quickly ask:

"Why does Your Majesty say this?"

Zhu Houzhao said intermittently:

"If I don't have Zhu Bin, what... Ping Tatar invasion, if there is no Zhu Bin, I... and how can they control the power of the Chinese armed forces in the DPRK".

Then he sighed and said:

"I reuse Yang Yanhe and trust Zhang Yong, these two beasts, they actually detained Zhu Bin in Yingtian, and designed poison to harm me here, although I am too weak, but I am not so prime-age that I am leaving."

Du Bu Bu was surprised that the emperor would actually be harmed, so he asked:

"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on".

Zhu Houzhao said:

"That's it, that's it...... It's all because I like to have fun too much, and ignore the country's political affairs, I actually saw you at this time, I know that you are a good person, I want to ask you for one thing, I hope you will help me save Zhu Bin in the future, this matter can not be known to anyone."

Then he kept looking at Du Forgetting.

Du did not forget to Jiang Bin, since he knew Wang Yangming, he hated him to the core, and then saw that the emperor begged him.

I had to think about it, hold back that anger, nod to Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and walked out of the room and returned from the secret passage I had just come.

Su San, who had been waiting at the entrance for a long time, saw that Du did not forget to come back, so he quickly pulled him up and asked about the situation.

Du didn't forget to think about it, what the emperor said to him, it was inconvenient for Su San and the second brother to know.

omitted Zhu Bin's matter, and told Su San everything else.

Su San pulled Du Bu Bu to go back to the other room first.

The two of them played out another passion in the room.

After getting tired, Su San asked again:

"I think I'm missing something from what you just said."

Du did not forget to see Su San ask like this, and he was entangled with him just now, so he didn't keep his mouth for a while, so he casually said that he promised the emperor to save Jiang Bin.

The next day, in the Dacheng Hall of Guozijian, it was very lively for a while, and it turned out that tomorrow was the triennial emperor who personally held the palace examination.

On the side, Chen Wanghou happily said to Du Yifu:

"Brother Du, celebrate my becoming the champion tomorrow."

Du did not forget to smile bitterly and replied:

"Keep dreaming".

At this time, an assistant teacher outside came over and shouted into the hall:

"Who is called Du Don't forget".

At this time, everyone hurriedly looked at Du Buxing's side when they heard this, showing envious eyes.

After all, these students are very sensitive at this time.

Du did not forget to quickly stand up and answer:

"I just don't forget".

The teaching assistant said:

"Someone is looking for you outside the door".

At this time, after listening to the search outside the door, everyone continued to talk about themselves.

Du didn't forget to go out, but it turned out to be Zhu Zhi coming.

hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and asked why Zhu Zhi only came today.

Zhu Zhi said:

"I should have arrived early, but I was pulled by the county lord of Yong'an and didn't let me go, so I couldn't help it, so I came so late."

Du did not forget to quickly pull Zhu Zhi into the Guozi Prison, and then found Si Ye to introduce him.

The two of them came to the Guozijian library to read the books and review and prepare for the exam.

Du did not forget to see that Zhu Zhi was reading very carefully, so he asked:

"Brother Zhu wants to be admitted to the top tomorrow"?

Zhu Zhi replied with a smile:

"Don't you want to be the champion?"

Du Chu shook his head and said:

"Don't want to".

Zhu Zhi asked:

"The greatest achievement is to be the champion and the first to serve the country loyally and serve the country."

Du did not forget to sigh and said:

"I thought so at the beginning, but now I've seen a lot of things, and I don't have any hope, so let it be."

Zhu Zhi replied with a smile:

"How can Brother Du be so depressed, we are all the little prince's personal followers, now the little prince is the younger brother of the Ming Emperor, maybe he will soon become the son of heaven, why should we worry about the future, even if this exam is just for the little prince to earn money."

Then he said:

"In the future, I will rely more on you, Brother Du, you are the emperor's righteous brother in the future, you should be more favored and trusted, and it will be good for me to support my brother more when the time comes."

Du didn't forget where he thought so much, so he replied:

"Let's talk about it later, we will mainly take this palace exam first."

The two of them began to concentrate again, and began to read the book.

Suddenly, at this moment, a lifetime shouted from outside:

"His Majesty the Emperor has died, His Majesty the Emperor has died, all the students and scholars of the Imperial Prison, please immediately mourn for Your Majesty."

Du didn't forget to hear it, but sighed calmly.

Zhu Zhi heard it and quickly said to himself happily:

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the little prince on the throne, we are blessed......"

Du did not forget to hear it and replied:

"Who knows if it's a blessing or a curse, let's go out and have a look first."

When I came out, I saw that the entire Guozijian was crying all over the field, and the attendants of the Guozijian were holding piles of white cloths and asking the students to lead Dai Xiao.

Du Buyi and Zhu Zhi also went to get a white cloth, then draped it around their necks, and cried with the students.

Zhu Zhi's crying is naturally a fake cry, and Du Zhi doesn't forget that he feels a little really crying.

At this time, there were two students next to Du Buyi who were secretly discussing.

I saw one of the students say:

"His Majesty the Emperor has died, we have studied hard for so many years to come to the capital, and the tomorrow palace exam that we are going to participate in will be canceled?"

Another student also met:

"I've participated in four palace exams, and I have failed the list, and this time I have poured all my family property to bet this time, I didn't expect it to be so."

As a result, the two naturally cried.
