Chapter 4 Reading

For other queens, there are many things in the harem, such as managing the emperor's many women, guarding against little bitches usurping the throne, and preventing them from seizing the legitimate children and becoming monsters after they have children, and even allowing them to be favored in front of the emperor.

But these things do not exist at all with Empress Zhang. The emperor only has one woman, and that is herself, and there is no other woman to take care of.

The harem is very stable, and there is no need to watch out for other little bitches usurping the throne, and there are no other children trying to usurp the throne, so what does Empress Zhang do?

In addition to taking care of Zhu Youtang, all the Queen Zhang's thoughts were on her son Zhu Houzhao, for fear that her son would grow crooked.

There are countless people around Zhu Houzhao, who can pass on news at any time and keep track of his son's growth direction. Although sometimes he will not interfere, he must know that Zhu Houzhao is playful and does not like to study. Whether these things are Zhu You's

Both Empress Zang and Empress Zhang knew it, but Empress Zhang knew more and Zhu Youtang knew less. Because of the bad things her son did, Empress Zhang rarely told Zhu Youtang.

It's different now. Her son is studying, so naturally she has to talk about it properly. When Zhu Youtang looked over, Empress Zhang smiled and said, "Your Majesty has grown up too!"

Zhu Youtang nodded: "Yes! When you grow up, you know how to study. This is a good thing, a good thing!" As he said this, his eyes became sore.

Zhu Youtang had an unhappy childhood. His biological mother, Ji, was the daughter of a chieftain surnamed Ji in Guangxi. After the Ji rebellion subsided, the girl Ji was captured and brought into the palace to manage the emperor's private money.

Once, Xianzong happened to pass by, and seeing Ji's beauty and intelligence, he stayed the night. Afterwards, Ji was pregnant. When the concubine Wan Guifei, who was the most favored harem, found out, she ordered a palace maid to have an abortion for Ji. Ji was very popular, and the palace sent by him

She couldn't bear to do it, so when she reported to Concubine Wan, she lied that she had a tumor in her belly instead of being pregnant. Concubine Wan was still worried and ordered Ji to be demoted to the cold palace.

The Ji family secretly gave birth to Zhu Youtang in the cold palace under the shadow of Concubine Wan Gui. After Concubine Wan Gui found out, she sent the eunuch Zhang Min to drown the new prince, but Zhang Min risked her life to help the Ji family.

The baby was hidden secretly and fed with rice flour every day. Empress Wu, who was marginalized by Concubine Wan Gui, also helped to feed the baby. Concubine Wan Gui searched several times but could not find it. In this way, Zhu Youtang continued to eat Baijia rice until he was six years old.

.

One day, when Zhang Min was combing Xianzong's hair, Xianzong sighed and said, "I'm getting old and I don't have a son yet!" Zhang Min quickly said, "Long live I already have a son."

Xianzong was shocked and quickly asked what happened, and Zhang Min finally told the truth. Emperor Xianzong was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately ordered to pick up the prince.

When Emperor Xianzong first saw his emaciated son who had not been cut off due to long-term confinement and was dragged to the ground, he couldn't help but burst into tears and be filled with emotion.

On the same day, he summoned all the ministers and told the truth. The next day, he issued an edict to the world, making Zhu Youtang the crown prince and conferring the title of concubine on the Ji family. However, Ji family died violently in the palace, and the eunuch Zhang Min also committed suicide by swallowing gold.

.Obviously, the deaths of Concubine Ji and Zhang Min were directly related to the persecution of Concubine Wan Gui. Xianzong's mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou, was worried that Concubine Wan Gui would murder the prince, so she personally adopted her grandson in her Renshou Palace to ensure that the prince was safe.

Live in the palace.

Zhu Youtang, who had such a childhood, was naturally not happy, and the shadow of his childhood was almost the same. For this reason, he only married Queen Zhang, and at the same time gave Zhu Houzhao as much fatherly love as possible.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao was just having fun and didn't like studying, so Zhu Youtang was not in a hurry. After all, Zhu Houzhao was only ten years old. Historically, Zhu Youtang's health was getting worse day by day. He died when Zhu Houzhao was fifteen years old. Under such circumstances,

Zhu Houzhao's education was delayed. However, although he did not study much, Zhu Houzhao was definitely not what history said. He was an emperor who was smeared a lot.

Seeing that Zhu Youtang was happy, Empress Zhang smiled and held Zhu Youtang's hand: "Your Majesty should be happy that your Majesty has grown up."

"Happy, I'm happy!" Zhu Youtang nodded and said, looking at Queen Zhang under the lamp, the more she looked at her, the more touching she became.

Xianyang Palace.

Liu Jin carefully came to Zhu Houzhao, replaced the cold tea, brought a cup of warm and delicious tea, then cut the wick of the oil lamp short, brightened the wick, and then walked to Zhu Houzhao and said:

"Your Highness, it's already three quarters to one hour, it's time to rest!"

At three o'clock?

Zhu Houzhao calculated that it was almost ten o'clock in the future. He didn't expect that he would read so late. He put down the book in his hand, stood up and stretched. Zhu Houzhao then smiled and said: "Okay, then.

Let's rest!" He stood up and walked indoors. Going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health. Although he is not very sleepy, Zhu Houzhao is also ready to rest on time.

The palace was peaceful that night.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao got up very early, finished washing with Gu Dayong's help, and then ran outside to exercise.

The eunuchs in the palace also have to be on duty. According to later generations, they are arranged in shifts. They are not all served by one person. For example, the one serving Zhu Houzhao now is Gu Dayong. Compared with the thin Liu Jin, Gu Dayong looks slightly stronger.

He was taller. The whole person gave people a sense of honesty, but Zhu Houzhao knew that this kind of honesty must be fake.

Who am I? The prince of the Ming Dynasty, the only son of the current emperor, the eunuch who can be sent to his side, will he have a simple role?

In other words, the eunuch who can get this position will have a simple role? No matter where the old eunuch is or how he behaves, he is the best, otherwise you will never get this position.

Zhu Houzhao was noncommittal about this. Many things are like this. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and the emperor cannot break some rules. The person standing behind the little eunuch beside him must be the big eunuch beside his father. This is the inheritance in the palace.

Dao. As for loyalty, Zhu Houzhao doesn't doubt it. Eunuchs can doubt anything, except loyalty. However, who should give this loyalty to carefully consider it.

"Have you found the place you were asked to look for?" Zhu Houzhao asked Gu Dayong without looking back while moving his body.

"Go back to Your Highness, we found it!" Gu Dayong said quickly: "There is a garden behind Xianyang Palace, where the land is suitable for large and small areas."

garden?

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Gu Dayong and frowned: "Is there no other place besides there?"

He demolished the garden to build a martial arts arena for himself. I'm afraid he would be impeached if he told this. Who knows what kind of reputation it would leave behind. If it spread to the outside world, he might not be able to organize himself. In history, Zhu Houzhao built a leopard room, and what was the result?
