The atmosphere in the hall instantly became a lot more awkward. Zhu Houzhao was also embarrassed, and even more embarrassed was Xie Qian. He had never talked for so long before, and Zhu Houzhao had never come so early.

"Your Highness, I have disobeyed you!" Xie Qian bowed quickly and said.

"You can't thank me. I thank you for teaching me. I worked so hard and was so empty that I didn't realize it. It's really my fault." Zhu Houzhao quickly bowed and said, "Although I haven't finished my thoughts today, I don't dare to."

It is not the way of a student to ask Master Xie to teach me on an empty stomach!" As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao turned to look at Zhang Yong who was waiting behind him: "Chuan Shan, I want to have a meal with Master Xie."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhang Yong heard Zhu Houzhao's instructions and quickly bowed and said, "I will make arrangements right now!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhu Houzhao asked Xie Qian to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Master Xie, how about we play a game of chess? I am just waiting for them to spread their kindness, and I am also a little hungry."

After listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Xie Qian was pleasantly surprised. His Highness had never been so close to him before, but Xie Qian was very happy and said quickly: "Since His Highness is interested, then the humble minister is naturally willing to show his shame!"

He bowed and stood aside.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded, and then said: "Then let's come together!" As he said this, Zhu Houzhao pulled Xie Qian to one side.

Soon Zhang Yong set up the table and prepared everything. Of course the two of them played Go. Zhu Houzhao said with a bit of coquettishness: "Master Xie, you have to let me go. In addition, I have to go first."

Come on, thank you Master, but don’t blame me for not respecting Master."

At the age of ten, Zhu Houzhao had no problem saying such things, but this coquettish tone would make Xie Qian like him even more.

In fact, Xie Qian really liked it more, and said with a smile: "Then please go first, Your Highness, but it's not possible for Your Highness to want me to give in. This chess game requires real skills!"

The master and apprentice get along harmoniously.

The news spread quickly. After all, Xie Qian had not returned from giving lessons to Zhu Houzhao. This even alarmed Zhu Youtang. You must know that Xie Qian usually went to give lessons to Zhu Houzhao, let alone such a long time, even at normal times.

There is no guarantee. Basically, Zhu Houzhao would use various excuses to skip classes and pretend to be sick not once or twice. It is really rare to see him like this.

When Zhu Youtang received Xie Qian and hadn't come back yet, he was still a little worried. Wasn't something wrong?

The news soon spread that Zhu Houzhao not only listened carefully to the class, but also played chess with Xie Qian, and planned to stay with Xie Qian for dinner.

After hearing the news, Zhu Youtang was immediately shocked. Is this still his son? Although this should not be said by his father, Zhu Youtang still couldn't help but think in this direction. It was not his son who wanted to

Are you bothering Xie Qian? Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang was really worried. What would he do if something happened? Xie Qian was an important minister.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youtang still felt that it was not possible. He decided to go and take a look. Otherwise, he was really worried. So he stood up and said to the eunuch Qin Chang beside him: "Go to Xianyang Palace!"

When Zhu Youtang arrived at Xianyang Palace, he heard laughter far away. It was the voice of his son and Xie Qian. Hearing this sound, Zhu Youtang was stunned for a moment, and then walked in quickly.

After walking in, Zhu Youtang saw Xie Qian playing chess with Zhu Houzhao. The two were talking and laughing, as if Zhu Houzhao had lost. Seeing this scene, Zhu Youtang breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face changed.

He became calm and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Xie Aiqing's chess skills are very high. Don't act like a fool after losing!"

After hearing Zhu Youtang's words, Xie Qian and Zhu Houzhao realized that Zhu Youtang was coming, and they stood up quickly.

Seeing that the two people were about to salute, Zhu Youtang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, don't bother, let's be more comfortable. If I disturb your chess game, then I will be a bad guest!"

"Father, you are wrong. Although my child's chess skills are not as good as Master Xie's, my chess skills still need to be learned from Master Xie's. Not to mention such a lack of chess skills as cheating after losing. Isn't that what the emperor did?"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youtang and Xie Qian both laughed. At this time, Zhang Yong also walked in from the outside and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the meal ordered by His Royal Highness has been prepared."

After hearing this, Zhu Youtang said with a smile: "Then come up quickly, I will have a meal here today!" He said with an eagerness to try.

The three monarchs and ministers had dinner together, and then Xie Qian went back. Zhu Youtang also left with satisfaction. Zhu Houzhao returned to his room and lay on the bed. There was no smile on Zhu Houzhao's face. The favorability score was for

It is quite important for the emperor to be able to attract truly patriotic talents and those who work hard for the country. Anyway, there seems to be quite a lot of laughter in front of someone but a knife in the back.

In the days that followed, Zhu Houzhao continued to improve his favorability. Civil officials praised him, and some people began to write letters praising Zhu Houzhao.

Especially Zhu Houzhao's teachers praised him very much. Zhu Houzhao's attitude was getting better and better. He respected his teachers and did everything he could. He never asked for leave or was late for class. He was simply a model student.

Perhaps Zhu Houzhao in his previous life couldn't bear it, but for Zhu Houzhao in this life, this is nothing at all. For Zhu Houzhao, who has experienced twenty years of exam-oriented education, such a learning atmosphere and such teachers are impossible to dream of.

Possessed. Zhu Houzhao's favorability here soared, and he even spread the news that he had eradicated the zoo and changed it to a martial arts field.

Although civil servants looked down on military commanders, this matter still cannot be said. After all, the Ming Dynasty still had to learn from the lessons of the Song Dynasty. The status of military officers was not that low.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to learn martial arts and exercise. This matter was no problem. Zhu Youtang was very happy to give him a sum of money and choose several teachers for Zhu Houzhao, all of whom would accompany Zhu Houzhao to practice martial arts. Originally, Zhu Houzhao thought he could get it.

Zhu Houzhao was greatly disappointed by several masters in the inner circle. There was no Sunflower Manual and no Tiangang Boy Kung Fu.

Zhu Houzhao's series of changes make people happy, but some people are unhappy. This person is Liu Jin. Compared with other eunuchs, Liu Jin's ambitions are not small.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were many eunuchs who self-castrated themselves and entered the palace after adulthood. Three of the most famous ones were Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian. Have you concluded any rules? If you are at the bottom, give yourself a knife.
