Inside Xiefang Hall.

Zhu Houzhao learned that Chen Xi had returned to the capital. Although he could not "bend the bow and shoot" with Chen Xi to the northwest, he was still quite looking forward to it. Unfortunately, after waiting for two days, he did not receive any news that Chen Xi would become a lecturer in the East Palace again.

Looking at the pile of martial arts that were almost broken, the naughty child was very anxious, especially the "The Legend of Condor Heroes" in which there are only two volumes. As soon as he wrote about the tomb of the Living Dead and the Heart Sutra of the Jade Girl, the story suddenly disappeared. The feeling was very annoying.

"No, if Mr. Chen doesn't go back to the East Palace, I will try my best to try to get him back as soon as possible... If the father doesn't allow it, then wouldn't I never watch martial arts in my life?"

Zhu Houzhao made up his mind and decided to go to his father to argue. Why did Chen Xi not let him go to the East Palace to be a lecturer when he returned to the capital? Even if he was not a lecturer, at least he had to let him come to see me so that I could ask him for it!

Zhu Houzhao has been having difficulty walking out of the siege of Xiefang Hall recently. Even playing, he is surrounded by many eunuchs... Now the royal family is in trouble. Emperor Hongzhi's condition has not been cured and may even die at any time. This little master jumps up and down and never stops. If something happens at this time, the entire Ming Dynasty will be in chaos.

The naughty child was confined to his daily life, and even when he went to the Ganqing Palace and Kunning Palace to meet his father and mother, he could only go there if he was summoned.

"Eunuch Zhang, I am going to Kunning Palace to meet my mother, you can accompany me!" Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait, and his father and mother seemed to have forgotten him and had not asked him to come over to pay his respects in the past two days.

There is a reason for this.

His wife is about to give birth, and Zhu Youzhe himself is seriously ill again. In addition, the court is still preparing for the war in the northwest, so the emperor is so busy that he is so busy.

Empress Zhang has moved to the side room of Kunning Palace and is waiting for childbirth.

Now that there is one in her belly, Queen Zhang doesn't want to see the "good son" who upset her again. Only Zhu Youtang and his wife know about whether she and Zhu Houzhao's biological mother and son, and what Zhu Houzhao's life experience is.

In short, Empress Zhang was not in the mood to summon Zhu Houzhao to her side. On the surface, she was paying homage, but in fact she was listening to the naughty child.

Now Zhu Houzhao is named thirteen years old, but that is Xu Sui, and in fact he is only twelve years old. He is a child who is not good at knowing how to play and has no other ability except to cause trouble.

Zhang Yuan explained in embarrassment: "But... Your Highness, the Queen has never summoned you to Kunning Palace."

"What's wrong with me going to see my mother? I haven't seen my mother for two days. I miss you, even if I go to see her, my mother won't say anything. Are you, Eunuch Zhang, trying to hinder me from fulfilling filial piety?" Zhu Youzhang threw out the truth.

After Chenxi training, Zhu Houzhao had some scheming and knew how to threaten people. He can now accurately grasp people's weaknesses and use great principles to set himself invincible first. Even if Zhang Yuan shows off, he is just his slave, and he can punish him anyway.

Sure enough, after being charged with "influencing the prince's filial piety" by Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Yuan suddenly became timid. The emperor's previous strict order to confine the prince was not dared to firmly abide by the matter of the emperor's strict order to keep his foot.

"Come on... Come on, change clothes for the prince. The prince is going to Kunning Palace!"

It is impossible to say that Zhang Yuan is panicked. His idea is very simple. When it comes to the issue of the prince, the queen is easier to talk to than the emperor. Queen Zhang is always a kind mother who loves her son. She must be very happy when she sees her son coming to visit her.

Zhang Yuan thought: "The order for the prince to be confined is under His Majesty. His Majesty should not even get out of bed in the Ganqing Palace. Is it impossible to see him in Kunning Palace?"

With this kind of luck mentality, Zhang Yuan asked someone to clean up Zhu Houzhao's clothes. Zhu Houzhao is now thinking about how to escape on the road and go to the Ganqing Palace to discuss with his father.

The Ganqing Palace is not something that a naughty child can pass by. Although it is his father's bedroom, it is also the place where the emperor handles national affairs. Only when his father summons him can he pass by, and occasionally he can meet important officials in the court... He wants to ask his father now when will Chen Xi be arranged to enter the palace?

Zhu Hou shone out of the Xiefang Palace. When Chen Xi came back, he would have martial arts to watch in the near future. He was in a very happy mood. This was heavier than before when he saw Zhu Youzang, and he jumped out of every step.

"Prince, please wait, I can't keep up!"

Zhang Yuan is in poor health and cannot run fast, otherwise he will easily become incontinent. This is the sequelae of his adult self-purification and is also a place where he is not as good as Liu Jin.

Zhu Houzhao had already cleared Zhang Yuan's pulse. He knew that Zhang Yuan was weak and it would be fine if he didn't say it. After saying that, the naughty child simply turned to trotting, and now Zhang Yuan could not catch up with him.

Zhang Yuan was angry and said to the eunuch beside him: "What are you waiting for? Keep up with the prince, and be sure to escort the prince to Kunning Palace!"

Zhang Yuan was a little scared, afraid that Zhu Houzhao would do whatever he wanted, but at this moment, Zhu Houzhao was determined to go to the Qing Palace, but she didn't plan to hide, just wanted to see her father to question her.

When Zhang Yuan found out that Zhu Houzhao was not going right, he became more and more panicked. He didn't care about his weakness. Even if he endured it, he would speed up his pace to catch up, but he still didn't catch up, allowing the prince to successfully sneak to the gate of the Ganqing Palace.

Just as Zhang Yuan was panting and chasing him, thinking that he would be punished, Xiao Jing, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor standing outside the gate of the Ganqing Palace, was explaining to the prince: "...Your Highness, why are you here? Your Majesty is not here, so he is heading to Kunning Palace!"

"Hey, it's really strange. Isn't my father in poor health and unable to go down the ground? Why did I come to him, but he ran to see my mother? My mother's belly hasn't come out yet, do you want the next one again?"

Zhu Houzhao was so angry that his unknown brother or sister had already caused him a lot of trouble. If his father and mother gave him another child, he would have the intention to go crazy.

Is it easy for me to be a prince? I was scared by Mr. Chen, and the sound of candle shadows and axes was heard, causing disaster to Xiao Wall and the Xuanwu Gate. I was still thinking that I had no younger brother, but in the blink of an eye, my younger brother was about to have him, which was a big trouble for me.

The prince's words not only made Zhang Yuan get goosebumps when he heard it, but even Xiao Jing was stunned.

If someone else said this, it was seeking death, but the prince said it was "children's words without restraint". But the prince said it, if others gossiped about it casually, it would be a false argument for the royal heir and would be beaten to death by sticks.

Zhu Houzhao ran behind the Ganqing Palace, and Xiao Jing hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"Go and find your father!"

Zhu Houzhao ran very fast with her calf, and now Zhang Yuan is even more difficult to catch up with.

...

...

Zhu Houzhao was a little tired from running away, and finally rushed outside Kunning Palace, feeling a little dissatisfied: "The father and the queen are obviously husband and wife, why do they live so far away from each other? It would be better to build a big house. In the future, all beauties, palace maids, queens, and concubines will live together. Isn't it more convenient to hug whoever I want?"

When he arrived at Kunning Palace, before he could enter the palace gate, he saw the palace maid kneeling on the ground at the door, and they were silent. Before he could understand what was going on, he heard a "bang" sound, as if something had fallen to the ground and was broken.

The naughty child was a little surprised and looked into the hall. He saw that it was empty, and his father and mother were not inside. Then he remembered that Empress Zhang had moved to the side room. It is said that this is the rule. He could not live in the original place even if he gave birth.

Zhu Youting's voice came from the side room: "...Xie Yuqiao, sincerely opposed me. He had a stalemate with me for his in-laws' grandson-in-law. I thought he was a loyal minister and let him go. Now he became more and more serious. He dared to withdraw his troops in front of the ministers, which clearly did not take me seriously!"

"Master, please calm down."

Queen Zhang's voice came, extremely weak.

"How can I calm down? I thought he had any good words, but it turned out to be a cliché and didn't want to fight. I understand. He decided to leave the court and return to his hometown to farm. Could it be that I have treated him badly over the years?" Zhu Youzhang was still angry.

After listening for a long time, Zhu Houzhao probably understood that the emperor was angry with a man named "Xie Yuqiao". He was very familiar with this person, and Zhu Houzhao always had a good impression of him. After all, Xie Qian is a good man. When he sees naughty children, he always talks and laughs and is respectful.

Zhu Houzhao muttered: "Why did the father quarrel with Mr. Xie? Is it because of Mr. Chen's affairs? No wonder his father refused to let Mr. Chen return to the palace to be my lecturer."

Then he heard Queen Zhang in the side room continue to persuade: "...Prince, there are so many people in the court, but many people echo Mr. Xie?"

"Just he is the only one, how can others not know my intention? He knows it well and deliberately embarrass me!" Zhu Youxi was sick recently, but his wife could not be with her. She felt depressed and needed to talk to her, so she forced her to get sick and came to Kunning Palace to talk to her wife. She felt much more comfortable, but she still couldn't get rid of her anger.

Queen Zhang said: "Emperor, Mr. Xie has good intentions, no one says... He dares to say it alone, and he has the emperor in his heart, so he is willing to make a frank advice."

"What did you say?"

Zhu Youzhang was angry again now. Why didn’t his wife even speak from her side?

Empress Zhang said bitterly: "Emperor, I am just a woman and do not understand national affairs, but I know that loyal words are beneficial to action. I know that the emperor wants to fight this war and consolidate the position of prince of the emperor, but war always kills people. It is good to win, but what if I can't win?"

Zhu Youzhang said coldly: "You mean that my hundreds of thousands of troops will not even defeat the Tatars who are fighting in the end?"

"Everything is inconceivable," said Empress Zhang, "I think that Mr. Xie did not say that he would lose this battle, maybe he just persuaded His Majesty to think carefully!"

Zhu Youzhe thought before that Xie Qian openly contradicted him, and must have been revenge on his practice of recruiting Chen Xi back to Beijing but leaving Chen Xi idle. He was filled with righteous indignation and even wanted to leave Xie Qian and Shen Xi idle. After all, the emperor also wanted to save face!

But Emperor Hongzhi was not in a state of intent after all, and now the cabinet still needed Xie Qian to take charge. Chen Xi made great contributions and returned to the court, so he could not give up the principle of being a ruler because of a moment of righteous indignation.

He didn't calm down and think about it carefully. Xie Qian actually reminded him with good intentions, which was due to his loyalty.

"What are you thinking! He said that my labor troops who spent a lot of money and food went out to the frontier for a long expedition, and it would be better to have a feint attack, and then go back to the court. It's in vain... Humph, I will never agree."

Zhu Youting wanted to keep himself angry, but after Queen Zhang's persuasion, he really couldn't get angry... Xie Qian was his mentor after all. During the Chenghua period, he was just a prince who was not strong in the eyes of the emperor. Xie Qian and others worked hard and assisted him in ascending the throne, and they are still serving the imperial court.
