Chapter 24 The Little Overlord of the Capital
Liu Datong raised another fist and hit Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao turned around and leaned against Liu Datong with his back. Liu Datong flew out. He rolled several times before he stopped.
Perhaps because of the collision, Liu Datong didn't get up.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand in a dazed manner, and then said to Liu Jin and others behind him: "Let's go to the next one!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's three moves and two moves, he made Liu Datong lie down. Liu Jin's chin almost dropped to the ground. Can his young master be so good at fighting? Although he used to watch his young master practicing in the palace all day long,
But I didn’t expect that my young master could be so good at fighting! Originally, Liu Jin actually arranged for someone to accompany Zhu Houzhao to play for fun, but he was warned by Zhu Houzhao earlier, so Liu Jin naturally didn’t dare to play this clever trick.
, this Liu Datong was really not arranged by him.
After listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin quickly said: "Yes, yes, I will lead the way right now."
Inside the Imperial Palace, Kunning Palace.
Empress Zhang was drinking tea, and beside her was Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang. Zhu Youtang also rarely took a half-day break, so he rested and leaned against her. There was a sense of leisure in his whole person, and his eyes were unfocused. For a long time, Zhu You
Zang stood up and turned around and asked: "Where is the emperor? Today the emperor is supposed to be in Xiuxiu, why didn't you see him coming? Are you running so hard on weekdays?"
Glancing at Zhu Youtang, Empress Zhang said with a smile: "I'm out of the palace and I don't know what to do. Why don't I find someone to ask?"
Zhu Youtang nodded and said to the eunuch He Neng behind him: "Go and ask the prince what he did, and then come back and report."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" He Neng nodded, then turned and walked out. After a short time, He Neng came back, and then bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, back to Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince left the palace today to find someone to compete in martial arts.
The people in Dongchang say they are looking for the best fighters in various martial arts schools to compete, and His Highness the Prince calls this a martial arts competition."
"Nonsense!"
Zhu Youtang continued to speak, but Queen Zhang on the side spoke first: "He is only a little older, and he is still looking for someone to compete with him. Isn't this just a fight?"
Zhu Youtang didn't expect that his son would actually do this. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Have you ever been beaten?"
It can be seen from the way he asked questions that Zhu Youtang also characterized his son's behavior as a fight, and he was the one who was beaten.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has chosen thirteen martial arts schools in a row. Basically, he defeated the opponent with three moves and two moves. One of them even wanted to bully the smaller ones. His Highness the Crown Prince defeated seven or eight of them by himself.
, there is no one enemy. Now the people in the capital have spread the word, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also received a title, called, "He Neng glanced at Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang. He seemed to be lifeless when he saw Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang.
He looked relieved and continued: "He is called the Little Overlord of the Capital."
Upon hearing her son's nickname, Empress Zhang was angry and wanted to laugh. However, her son won the fight and was not injured, which made her relieved.
Zhu Youtang looked at Queen Zhang and naturally knew what his queen was thinking, but he would not argue with others. After thinking about it, he asked: "Isn't this arranged in advance?"
If it was arranged in advance, this matter needs to be checked.
"Going back to Your Highness, Liu Jin, who was originally serving His Highness, did make arrangements. However, when he left the palace, His Highness warned Liu Jin that if he dared to make arrangements, Liu Jin would be sent to the Clothing Bureau." He Neng said honestly.
: "Now what His Royal Highness has said is true. His Royal Highness is extremely skilled in martial arts. He is very skilled in bow, knife, stone, horse, foot and arrow."
Zhu Youtang became interested when he heard this and wanted to go to the palace to have a look. There was nothing important going on today.
Turning his head, he saw Queen Zhang looking at him with a half-smile. Zhu Youtang suddenly felt a little guilty. This matter might not be easy to handle!
When Queen Zhang saw Zhu Youtang's appearance, she immediately smiled, reached out and pushed Zhu Youtang gently, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go if you want! It's okay to go out and relax, we will be in the palace all day.
There are so many documents inside, the emperor will definitely be shocked if you go there."
Zhu Youtang smiled and nodded: "Then go and scare him!" He stood up and said, "Come here, prepare a set of clothes for me."
At this time, Zhu Houzhao was eating. He took a shot in the morning and then became hungry. Zhu Houzhao was still a little uninterested at first, but after the food was served, this feeling disappeared. He took the roasted leg of lamb, cut it into pieces with a knife, and then
Eat it with dipping sauce. Zhu Houzhao didn't need Liu Jin to serve him at all. Liu Jin's knife skills were too poor and he cut too slowly, so he couldn't serve Zhu Houzhao at all.
As for what he drank, Zhu Houzhao naturally drank not wine but iced sour plum soup. Zhu Houzhao had to be convinced that this Deyilou was really amazing.
There are restaurants with brand names in the capital, and people have ice. You must know that the cost of building an icehouse is not small. In addition, collecting ice cubes for storage in winter requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It is definitely not affordable for ordinary people. Princes and ministers
It was difficult, but this Deyilou restaurant came up with it and even made an iced sour plum soup. Zhu Houzhao ate the roasted leg of lamb and drank the iced sour plum soup. He felt very refreshed and his depressed mood was gone.
While Zhu Houzhao was enjoying his meal, Zhu Youtang walked in with a smile, wearing a scholar's gown and holding a folding fan in his hand. He walked to the table and sat down with a smile.
Realizing that someone was sitting down, Zhu Houzhao raised his head, and when he saw it was his father, he immediately smiled: "Dad, why are you here?"
Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao, whose mouth was full of oil after eating, and said with a smile: "If I didn't come and take a look, you might have done something."
"Actually, it's not interesting. I originally thought there would be a few that could fight, but I didn't expect them all to be so weak." As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao cut the mutton into small pieces and handed it to Zhu Youtang: "Father, taste it and you are proud of it."
Lou's mutton is grilled really well. It's charred on the outside and juicy on the inside. It's so delicious!" He said and said hello: "Here's the iced sour plum soup."
Zhu Youtang took the meat handed over by his son, took a bite, and said with a smile: "It tastes really good, better than what is cooked at home."
"That's right, my son found it by smelling the fragrance." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Father, you should go out more often, see the lives of the people, eat some people's food, and relax, which is also good for your health.
"
Zhu Youtang smiled after hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, but did not answer. Instead, he asked: "Will you continue to fight in the afternoon?"
"It's boring not to fight. It's all about fame. It's boring to fight." Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said.
