Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Two Heart-piercing Heart-warming, Thunderbolt
Your Majesty, how childish are you? You go to such trouble just to treat my Shou? According to your words, one of my father and Shou must be unlucky, right? If it were my father, even the military department would be responsible for this.
Yu Huai didn't notice during the incident and smoothly let the decree be issued. Wouldn't others then criticize him for using improper means to gain the position of Minister of War?
Moreover, why is Zhang Shou unable to escape the attack on the sea escort ship? Zhang Shou only directly pointed out the matter to Hua Siye and Cao Wu. Once the word leaks out, others will not doubt you as the emperor.
Then wouldn't Fourth Master Hua and Fifth Master Cao be taking the blame? Although she was not familiar with these two people, she didn't take it for granted. You must be such a deceitful emperor!
Even though Zhu Ying had always had unusual ideas and was considered the junior who was most in tune with the emperor, she couldn't help but feel so angry that she almost walked away.
However, the emperor got ahead of her, and with a look, Liu Feng shooed away the rest of the palace and chamberlains, and then whispered that the fourth prince was going to the Jiuzhang Hall of the Imperial Academy to attend classes, but was tormented by Zhang Shou.
, I almost never cried when I felt wronged.
Zhu Ying was really annoyed this time: "Why, it turns out that the emperor loves the fourth prince, so he wants to cause trouble for Ah Shou?"
"How is it possible? Am I such an unreasonable father?" Seeing Zhu Ying's expression of "You are such an unreasonable father", the emperor immediately coughed twice in embarrassment and suddenly changed into a more sincere tone, "If
Zhang Shou sincerely disciplines Shiro, let alone asking him to wipe the blackboard, even if he picks up the ruler and gives him a good beating, I won't care!"
"But I'm not just afraid that Zhang Shou is afraid of trouble, and I just want to dampen Shiro's arrogance. If Shiro is so angry that he can't stay in Jiuzhangtang, and then comes back, he will save one Jiuzhangtang and two princes.
"Trouble?" When he said this, the emperor looked like a father who was worried about his children, "Everyone wants to be the prince's master and the future emperor's master, but Zhang Shou is afraid of trouble!"
Zhu Ying was speechless. The storm outside turned out to be because the emperor, a partial father, wanted to cause trouble for Zhang Shou, who was afraid of trouble. Why is this so difficult to explain?
She stared at the emperor who had been treated as half a father since she was a child - because the emperor was really incomparable to the serious and serious Zhu Jing - she almost raised her fingers in anger like some of the arbitrary ministers in the past.
Poke him on the nose.
"Even if Ah Shou is afraid of trouble, he is the most qualified teacher. Even if the fourth prince just runs over to join the class, he will not deliberately make things difficult. Since your Majesty knows about that trivial matter in class, don't you know that the third prince
After the prince helped, Ah Shou said that people would take turns helping the fourth prince in the future? If the fourth prince really felt aggrieved, why did he go to Jiuzhang Hall these days? "
"Ah Shou told me before that the third prince is becoming more and more cheerful and independent, but the fourth prince's impulsive and reckless character needs to be tempered and use small setbacks to make him reflect on himself, otherwise he will be like this
It seems that you are making great progress all the way, and everyone is pampering you for your sake. But if you really encounter a big setback in the future, it will be easy for you to fail!"
Having said this, Zhu Ying stretched out her palm mercilessly and slapped it on the big case in front of the emperor: "Besides, what's wrong with Ah Shou's fear of trouble? Is it hindering him from doing things? Your Majesty, are you still tough?
Didn't he do well in the things that were given to him? He is not in his position and does not pursue his duties. It is not good for a person like him who abides by his duties. Is it possible that it is better for him to be the kind of person who eats from the bowl and looks at the pot? "
The emperor was speechless by Zhu Ying. Then he thought about it, maybe he was used to seeing people who were ambitious and rushing forward. Then he looked at Zhang Shou, who didn't care about things and was not motivated. He seemed to be taking care of his own little land.
He has a contented temperament, so he feels all sorts of unpleasant things. After all, Zhang Shou is only seventeen years old, not seventy!
Seeing the emperor's speechless look, Zhu Ying immediately snorted and said: "But Ah Shou said, he has already taught those superficial history lectures in Banshan Hall, and now the third and fourth princes
In Jiuzhangtang, he will only teach them sutra arithmetic, and will not teach them anything else. And the fourth prince has not been admitted to Jiuzhangtang after all, so instead of attending classes every day, it is better to use a better method."
This time, the emperor immediately found an opportunity to change the embarrassing topic, and quickly forced a smile and asked: "What can I do?"
"Ah Shou said that he is the only one who teaches the first and second grades of Jiuzhang Hall. When the second-year students come back, sooner or later the new students of this grade will have to be replaced. He has already said before that promoting students themselves
Give yourself lessons, starting with the third prince. After all, Lu Sanlang doesn’t have that much time, sooner or later he will have to teach them one by one."
"In this case, Ah Shou said that since the third prince will be the first to go into battle sooner or later, it is better for him to start by teaching the fourth prince."
"Uh..." The emperor immediately showed a surprised expression. Asking the third prince to give lessons to the fourth prince? In his impression, when the brothers were together, the fourth prince's chirping was often the only voice, but the third prince never only
I listened with a shy smile on the side, now let my shy elder brother teach my impulsive and noisy younger brother, will this be...
Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows and said: "They are brothers who grew up together. They will eventually separate in the future. Instead of the emperor being soft-hearted and allowing them to go to class together now, it is better to let the fourth prince study in the morning and wait for the fourth prince to come back in the afternoon.
Use all your time to teach him, Ah Shou said, and he will help the third prince prepare lectures. Why not let the third prince give it a try?"
He clearly wanted to use two things that he had already made up his mind to embarrass Zhang Shou, but now Zhang Shou used Zhu Ying to defeat the entire army. The emperor suddenly felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.
.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that such an arrangement was indeed more in line with the current situation. Not to mention that no matter how good the relationship between the two brothers was, they would be separated in the future due to different circumstances. Just to temper them, they should follow Zhang Shou's example.
It is recommended to give it a try.
Therefore, he felt extremely complicated and subtle for a while, and then he said in a deep voice: "Let's take a look."
Zhu Ying then said with a half-smile: "In that case, how are you going to solve the matter about my father that you provoked, Your Majesty?"
"How to solve it?" The emperor deliberately pretended to be confused. When he saw Zhu Ying's face suddenly changed, she pressed her hands on the desk and forced her forward fiercely. He quickly said seriously, "I was just joking with you.
Yingying, please don’t get me wrong, I originally wanted your father to be the Minister of War, and I definitely didn’t use him as a shield!"
Zhu Ying was really stunned now. She stared at the emperor in disbelief and said suspiciously: "Are you really trying to trick me?"
"Of course not!" The emperor looked at Zhu Ying with an extremely candid look, "It's not just your father. Didn't I upgrade Cangzhou to a higher level before? I also upgraded Daxing County and Wanping County. I originally wanted to control it.
The Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division in the outer city mentioned the fourth rank, and then handed it over to your elder brother, and also asked Zhang Shou, but it's a pity that this guy is slippery."
"Anyway, you go back and ask your elder brother whether he plans to take a job, go to the Ruiqi Camp to make a name for himself, or is he willing to go to the Nancheng Army and Horse Division. I know that after ordinary people have made great military achievements, then look at the trivial matter of the Nancheng Army and Horse Division.
It’s so complicated that you’ll inevitably think it’s overkill, but I know your brother’s temperament…”
"Okay, okay, Your Majesty, don't just pick nice things to say."
Zhu Ying finally couldn't help but interrupt the emperor's words. If she was the one who made the emperor's head confused in the first place, then now it was her who was made dizzy by the emperor's words.
She glanced at the emperor with some resentment, and finally said gloomily: "My father and my eldest brother have been through life and death, and now you won't let them have a rest for two days! The same goes for Ah Shou, he is not idle!"
Faced with such a girl who had been favored by him, the Queen Mother, and the Zhu Jing family since childhood, the emperor wanted to say that no one in office is afraid of being busy, only people are afraid of leisure, but when the words came to his lips, those words finally became
He chuckled.
His Yingying is not stupid, so she doesn't know this. It's just that compared to the wealth and splendor she has been accustomed to since she was a child, she prefers to be with her family and the people she likes. But her father, brother and Zhang Shou are both busy.
She will undoubtedly feel lonely.
So, the emperor suddenly stood up and walked forward, just like he did to the girl who was like a dumpling in childhood. He suddenly stretched out his finger and poked her between the eyebrows. Seeing Zhu Ying, she was stunned at first, and then escaped on her toes.
After going all the way, she glared at him angrily, then he blew on his finger and smiled at the girl.
"Okay, just go back and spread the word! You are young, what kind of leisure do you want? I also wish I could travel around the world every day, running horses and dancing swords, and leave this country to my son, but haven't I found a suitable heir yet?
"
Liu Feng on the side was frightened when he heard this, wishing that he had just left with the others. After all, the topic of heir is one of the most sensitive topics in the world.
And then, he soon heard Zhu Ying say something that almost drove him out of his mind: "Your Majesty, stop talking nonsense. Even if you want to be the Emperor, the Queen Mother does not want to be the Queen Mother!"
Zhu Ying didn't even notice that Liu Feng was almost paralyzed with fear because of her rebellious words. She raised her brows and said in a brisk voice: "I have heard from the Queen Mother that you have been out of temper since you were a child and it is difficult to sit still. For the sake of
You have sacrificed a lot to be the emperor. But since you have sacrificed so much, how can you just casually take off your burden and leave it to others?"
"There is no one in the world who is more suitable to be emperor than your Majesty. Just give up on this and take care of state affairs!"
Zhu Ying made a face, then bowed casually, and resigned just like that. Liu Feng observed the emperor's face from the side, and couldn't stop or pursue him for a while, he could only watch helplessly.
He went out. He was frightened and waited for a long time before he heard the emperor's laughter.
"Haha, it's no wonder that I prefer this girl so much. Her sincere words are really heart-piercing and heart-warming."
The emperor sighed in dismay, but at this moment, he heard Zhu Ying's exclamation from outside, and then he seemed to be arguing with someone about something.
Just when he was confused and about to ask, Zhu Ying's voice seemed to be missing from the outside, and instead there was a commotion. Sensing something was wrong, he immediately raised his voice and asked, "What happened?"
After his voice sounded for a long time, someone answered in front of the door: "Reporting to the emperor, news has just arrived that the garden of Qin Guogong in Haidian, the Qin Garden, seems to have been visited by snitches. It is said that the snitches did not steal anything.
He set a fire and burned the precious colored cotton that Zhang Chen, the eldest son of the Duke of Qin, planned to present to the emperor."
The words "Caimian Xiangrui" are widely circulated in the streets and alleys of the capital, but the emperor is busy with everything, and he listens to all the rumors. He has not been out of the palace in the past few days, so this is the first time he has heard of the two words "Caimian".
With a frown on his face, he immediately called someone in.
The person who came was a young chamberlain next to Chu Kuan, the chief minister of rituals. After he saluted, he said vividly: "Reporting to the emperor, what happened last night. I heard that Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu met on their way back to Beijing with General Mingwei.
The water bandits sent people on flying horses to report to Zhang Chen, the eldest son of the Duke of Qin. Zhang Chen was afraid that he would be missed by the thieves again, so he built a plank road openly and crossed Chencang secretly..."
While the disciple of the ceremonial supervisor Chu Kuan was telling a story to the emperor, Zhang Chenye, who had received the news earlier, had already rushed to Qinyuan, Haidian, where he spent his summer vacation. When he saw the chaos everywhere, he became furious
He yelled: "Who is so stupid that he made the whole city aware of the fact that Qin Yuan was invaded by a cat burglar? Are you afraid that I will not be embarrassed enough?"
The steward of Qinyuan ran out of the house in disgrace, with some traces of smoke on his face. He cautiously took a few steps forward, and was about to salute, but Zhang Chen kicked him up unexpectedly. He was caught off guard.
After receiving that kick, he fell heavily to the ground, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, as if he was afraid that the eldest son with the worst temper would directly use the whip.
"Young master, I didn't expect that a young man from the Xiangyang uncle's family would stay in their garden next door. When they found out that the fire broke out, people started shouting everywhere. As a result, many people came to put out the fire. This is probably how the news got out.
of!"
"Damn it, damn it!"
Zhang Chen was so angry that he could only say the word "damn", and turned around in a circle. He raised his hands in front of the steward as if he wanted to hit him, but in the end he just clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "You did a good job.
, this tells me how to explain to Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu later! I originally promised them well, to build the plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly, but the result was bad, it turned into burning down Chencang! "
When Zhang Chen angrily dismissed the steward of Qin Yuan and rushed straight into the door. When he arrived at the warehouse where he stored the important things, he almost fainted from the scorched black place. He was planning to go in and take a look inside again.
Look, it was blocked by several servants. It was said that the fire was not small. Although it has been extinguished now, it may have damaged the beams and columns. If it collapses, it will be troublesome.
So, he could only stand in the yard and interrogate everyone while suppressing his anger. Naihe asked around and asked nothing, not even a guy who saw the suspicious person. Just when he was furious, Zhang Wu
He and Zhang Lu also arrived together. When they saw the charred house, their reactions were completely different.
Zhang Wu was just dumbfounded, while Zhang Lu... his expression was as if he was mourning for his heir!
