After more than ten years, I can't imagine that the emperor still remembers him, and the old monster feels quite comforted in his heart.

Back then, he was just on a whim, and when he saw the innocent prince, he loved it in his heart, so he took him to the imperial city.

Unexpectedly, such an act planted a seed in his heart, making the young emperor want to be free and unrestrained.

Decades have passed since I entered the palace, and time is like water, sometimes rushing and roaring, sometimes not panicking.

Looking at the young emperor, the memory of the old monster seems to have returned to more than forty years ago, although he was sixty years old at that time, but he had only entered the palace for a short time, and he didn't know anything about the tricks and tricks in the harem.

And what he remembers most is a prince named Zhu Youzhu at that time, who was so lonely and desolate, and the shadow of death shrouded him all the time.

Zhang Min, who was the door supervisor at the time, although he was not a good person, did a good deed. Wan Guifei asked him to kill Miss Ji, but he disobeyed Yang and Yin and secretly protected her when she was pregnant.

After the prince Zhu Youzhu was born, it can be said that he grew up with their group of eunuchs and palace maids, and their group of people in the deep palace are like caged birds, imprisoned in them, and there is no hope in sight.

And that child is their only sustenance, risking being killed, but also to protect him, because he is a life, a ray of sunshine covered with snow all year round.

At that time, the old monster was completely tired of the rivers and lakes, and was determined to find a place where no one would disturb him for the rest of his life.

But whether he hid on the top of the Tianshan Mountains, or in the deep valley of the Qinling Mountains, whether it was the barren Gobi, or the wind-blown grass outside the fortress, someone found him.

People, where do you want to retreat, not the rivers and lakes?

The old monster sighed in his heart, and then decided to hide at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who knew that even if he was a prince, his life experience would be equally bleak.

The old monster protects Zhu Youji, not for fame and fortune, but for the sustenance in his heart, because this child is so honest, he hopes that he will one day be able to be honored in the Ninth Five-Year Plan and benefit the community.

The boy did not disappoint him, and he finally survived the most difficult years and ascended to the throne. During his reign, he worked hard to reverse the political situation of Xianzong, expelled traitors, was diligent in political affairs, worked hard, appointed Wang Shu, Liu Daxia and other upright ministers, and used his tolerance and diligence to make the Ming Dynasty get a chance to prosper, known as "Hongzhi Zhongxing" in history.

He was diligent in government and loved the people, full of ambition to govern the country, and often went to his residence to ask himself for advice, but he was a martial artist, and he did not know how to govern the country at all, but said to the emperor that as long as His Majesty had another benevolent heart and a heart that loved the people, it was enough.

The emperor listened to his words, and he suffered several deaths in his early years, not only with a broad heart, but also with benevolence and humility. Although he was diligent in political affairs, he died of illness in the Qianqing Palace at the age of 36, and was buried in Tailing in October of the same year, and the temple name was Xiaozong.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was completely hidden in the deep palace, and even if the emperor ordered people to look for him, he avoided it.

And this time he took the initiative to meet Zhu Houzhao, he did have something to ask for.

When he was stunned, Zhu Houzhao asked aloud: "Old immortal, where have you been all these years, I have sent people to look for you many times, but there is no trace of you?"

The old monster came back to his senses, pulled Feng Mu to his knees, and said, "The old slave is going eastward, see the emperor." ”

"The old gods are exempt. Zhu Houzhao said, and wanted to step forward to help Bu Dongliu, but Bu Dongliu pulled Feng Mu and stood up on his own.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Feng Mu, but did not ask about him, but asked Bu Dongliu enthusiastically: "Old immortal, can you give me the ability to fly to the sky more than ten years ago, I really want to learn it." ”

Bu Dongliu shook his head and said: "The emperor is the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can he learn such a third-rate style of rivers and lakes? Besides, as long as the emperor gives an order, there will naturally be a group of masters who will take the emperor's imperial chariot to the sky, but in this way, wouldn't it be chaotic, and the cabinet ministers would not be scared to death?"

Zhu Houzhao listened to the words of the old monster and frowned, this is also something he is worried about, although he is an emperor, he can't fly the eaves and walk the wall as he wants like those brocade guards.

Although he also secretly asked Jiang Bin to teach him some martial arts, Jiang Bin was afraid that he was delicate and expensive, so he didn't dare to teach with all his might, so it was just some fancy fists and embroidered legs, and it was difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

"Old immortal, if you are willing to teach me that skill, I will meet your requirements. ”

Listening to Emperor Zhu Houzhao's words, Feng Mu sighed in his heart, what this emperor did was too unremarkable, you must know that Jun Wu joked, if the old monster asked him to give up the throne, would he also agree?

Feng Mu didn't know Zhu Houzhao, you must know that this master only said one sentence when Zhang Yong reported that Liu Jin wanted to seize the Ming Dynasty: let him take it.

Such an emperor who has no heart and lungs, only cares about his own leisure, and does not covet power, it is really possible for him to do such a thing, and perhaps for him, leaving the emperor's throne is not a relief.

The old monster shook his head and said, "Your Majesty's request, the old slave can't agree. Moreover, the old slave met His Majesty this time for more important things. ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard that the old immortal did not agree to him, he was disappointed in his heart, and when he heard him say that there was something important, he asked curiously: "What is the matter with the old immortal?"

"It's for this kid. ”

"Oh, who is this kid?"

The old monster was stunned for a moment, this emperor was too lacking in heart, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your Majesty should ask who this child is Your Majesty?"

"Huh, who is he?"

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, this child was born to a woman named Song Xiaoqi, I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers that woman?"

"I don't remember. Zhu Houzhao said with great certainty.

The old monster listened to his words, but he was not surprised, and said: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and it is normal to forget a woman, and she also has an identity, that is, the concubine Zhuang who was canonized by His Majesty himself." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Houzhao's face changed greatly, he looked at Feng Mu in surprise, and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "This child, this child was born to Concubine Zhuang, then he, he is my prince?"

The emperor, who had only been performing the crown ceremony for more than two years, was still very young, and suddenly a child more than three years old appeared next to him, which surprised him very much, strictly speaking, he was still a child, and he had never thought about how to be a father.

The old monster Bu Dongliu said calmly: "If Your Majesty admits it, he is the prince, and if Your Majesty does not admit it, he is a commoner." ”

"My prince, why don't I admit it, but now, I can't recognize him. ”

Zhu Houzhao remembered that three years ago, his concubine Zhuang actually fled from the palace with a brocade guard, and after hearing the news, he was three points angry, three points stunned, three points fearful, and one point envious.

What he wanted to accomplish in his own dreams was completed by a woman first, and he was unwilling.

At this time, facing a child who is somewhat similar to himself, he is sure that it is his flesh and blood, but in the crisis of the palace, he does not want this child to be on the cusp too early.
