Chapter 13 Autumn Clouds
"Queen, Queen!"
Outside Kunning Palace, Emperor Hongzhi rushed in overjoyed. Although he was a little rude and reckless, Xiao Jing and others accompanying him all had smiles on their faces.
Empress Zhang was originally serving flowers and plants in Kunning Palace, but when she suddenly heard the emperor shouting, she quickly threw her things and came out to welcome him.
"Concubine, see you..."
"Oh, Queen, don't be too polite." Hongzhi smiled broadly and took Queen Zhang's hand and said excitedly: "Queen, do you remember that yesterday Zhao'er came to plead for mercy and you spared the two palace ladies?
"
Queen Zhang's eyes were a little confused, "Yes... there is such a thing."
The atmosphere seems to be a good thing?
Over there, Eunuch Xiao covered his mouth and smiled, just like a little daughter.
If you weren't used to seeing eunuchs posing like this, you would probably feel a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, what exactly... happened?"
The emperor showed a memorandum to the queen: "Those who forgive are moved by heaven and earth, those who are lenient will be remembered in history, and those who are benevolent are invincible. The queen knows that this is the secret of the emperor. Congratulations to Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, for his forgiveness, generosity, and benevolence. It is important to
I know that sometimes I can’t do anything to my ministers. But my prince is very popular with them!"
"Really?" Empress Zhang was also surprised. Now she thought about it carefully, "That's why Your Majesty mentioned Zhao'er's plea to me. At that time... I didn't think much about it at that time. I was just coaxed by Zhao'er.
After a few words, I agreed to him."
"Good promise." The emperor slapped his thigh, still smiling proudly, "The queen may not know it in the harem, but the foreign ministers have already praised me and the queen's child to the sky!"
Xiao Jing flattered him at the right time, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, I have a successor to my great Ming Dynasty!"
Empress Zhang covered her chest, as if she was about to shed tears of joy.
"Zhao'er, really...?"
Emperor Hongzhi explained the details of this matter clearly to her, otherwise she would have thought it was very simple, "Song Renzong left many beautiful stories. According to this matter, this matter is similar to some of Song Renzong's stories. I guess it is a storyteller on the streets of Beijing."
It’s time to talk about everything.”
The emperor has always had this concern since he ascended the throne.
First of all, he must have a son, otherwise who will pass the Ming Dynasty to?
Later he got a wife and gave birth to a son.
At that time, the whole court congratulated him, and he himself was extremely excited, so that he would be able to explain it to his ancestors in the future.
When he really has a son, the courtiers next to him will start to say that he himself will also have the same idea: that is, to raise the child into a man.
Let him become a person who can entrust the world with important responsibilities.
Zhu Houzhao was born to be an emperor, and Emperor Hongzhi also expected the same for his son. He was very angry when some people said that his child was not talented.
Now that the prince has received such recognition, he is also very excited.
"Okay, okay, okay." The emperor smacked his lips, thinking of thousands of words, but these were the last three words.
"Pass the decree. The young master of Zhan Shi Mansion, Zhan Shi Wang Hao, is a man of great virtue, hard work and loyalty. He has taught the crown prince a meritorious service. He is given a bullfight uniform to comfort his ambition and to be honored!"
Wang Hao had just been promoted, so it was obviously inappropriate for him to be promoted again.
But for this meritorious service, the emperor wanted to reward him just to show the prince's virtue.
Granting service originally had the function of making up for the fact that some ministers did not meet the promotion standards but deserved to be rewarded.
Of course, bullfighting uniforms are generally given to those of rank three or above.
But Zhan Shi, the young master of Zhan Shifu, was a fourth-grade official. The emperor's use of it here also highlighted the importance he attached to Wang Hao.
"I just want people to know that if I teach the prince well and serve him well, I can give him any favors and honors."
"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of Zhao'er!"
The news reached the East Palace,
Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised.
Now everyone says that when he begged for mercy that day, he used the phrase he had just learned: "Being a king ends with benevolence."
It happened that Wang Hao taught him that day.
But in fact,
Only some people know that it was Yang Tinghe who first taught him...
Zhang Tianrui was still talking to Yang Tinghe. He was okay because he had flinched that day, but he felt a little sad when he mentioned this colleague, "Jiefu, His Highness studied half of the university that day, so he should..."
It should include that sentence.
Doing the same thing, completely different fates.
Yang Tinghe was originally an open-minded person.
But the continuous bad luck made him a little depressed.
"Every time comes, heaven and earth work together, and the heroes are not free."
Only Luo Yin's negative poem could express his inner feelings.
While talking,
The two maids rescued by Zhu Houzhao that day also walked into the Xiefang Palace. They were asked by the crown prince to serve tea in the East Palace.
When I arrived at the East Palace, I happened to find Zhu Houzhao practicing calligraphy in front of a bookcase.
The little young man was sitting in front of the bookcase with a serious face, a cup of tea was placed beside him, and the heat was swaying upwards.
The Crown Prince is still a child, with a delicate face, and his silk and satin suit has no wrinkles, and is so clean that it is not stained by a trace of dust.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
In terms of nobility, who in the world is more noble than this crown prince?
Hearing him give instructions to the servants around him, his speech was also so slow and gentle.
Ming Dynasty, is this going to usher in a crown prince who will be supported by all the people?
If people all over the world can live a good life with him around, then their families should also have less suffering.
In just a few days, these two little girls experienced life and death, and the many emotions in their hearts seemed to be unstoppable.
But when I arrived at the East Palace and really saw the prince, I seemed to become calm again.
"My slaves Qiuyun and Dongyu, I would like to pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince. I would like to thank His Highness for saving my life."
Only then did Zhu Houzhao realize that someone had brought them here. While writing, he said, "How is the injury on your butt?"
Dongyu is too young and dare not speak out.
As for Qiuyun, she is older and knows better, but words like butt still make her a little shy.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's just a minor injury. It's much better after applying medicine."
"Okay, then just raise it and then add value."
Qiu Yun plucked up the courage, suddenly saluted, and touched his head to the ground, "How can I deserve your highness to plead for mercy with my humble life? I can't repay the favor of rebirth. I can only serve with all my heart, and I dare not save the time for recuperation."
I pray that Your Highness will fulfill the wishes of this servant and Dongyu."
Zhu Houzhao put down his pen and looked at them carefully.
Qiuyun is taller, with soft and bright black hair, with a few strands falling on her white forehead. She has a small oval face, her face is extremely plain, and she has a bit of a bookish look between her eyebrows.
Dongyu's face is wider, her eye sockets are a little deeper like those in the Western Regions, and her large double eyelids are also very distinctive.
The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were still different. The photos left by the queens and maids of the Qing Dynasty broke too many future generations' beautiful imagination of the palace.
But it’s useless no matter how beautiful your imagination is,
Zhu Houzhao is now in the pocket of the poor - there is no "hair"!
Liu Jin, who was hunched over at the side, spoke up at the right time: "Your Highness, these two girls don't look very big. They have been through the ghost gate in the past two days. I'm afraid they will be frightened. Moreover, it is unusual for Your Highness to show such a great kindness."
Even wild beasts are always thinking about repaying their kindness day and night, not to mention humans. If they were just raised, they would be uneasy in their hearts and suffer even more pain in their skin and flesh."
"Really?" Zhu Houzhao was really surprised.
Qiu Yun couldn't say Liu Jin's flattering words, but since they said it for her, she could only admit, "Eunuch Liu said exactly what he said."
"How could you have such an idea?" Zhu Houzhao also felt that people are really pitiful, especially when the man's tackiness started to rise in front of two beautiful and delicate girls. A strange thought suddenly came to his mind, "How about that?"
Let Yang Tinghe take them back as goddaughters?!"
Liu Jin's eyes lit up. Yang Tinghe would be extremely uncomfortable if this happened, because it was His Highness who brought these two people back from the palace as their goddaughters, so they were basically two ancestors.
