Chapter 125 Li Huan: Am I despised? 【Ask monthly ticket】

Li Huan just smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty wants to practice martial arts, then I will teach His Majesty."

Hearing Li Huan's promise, Zhu Houzhao naturally showed joy on his face and said: "I knew Li Qing would not let me down."

Li Huan pointed to the bears and wild boars he had killed and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to order people to take these things out."

At this moment, Zhu Hou took a look at the bears and wild boars, and then at the prey that the guards around him carried for him.

Most of the prey he hunted were rabbits and roe deer, but compared to the bears and wild boars Li Huan hunted, they were obviously inferior in both quantity and quality.

Originally, Li Huan had been guarding secretly all along, and had no intention of hunting prey. Who would have thought that such an accident would happen halfway, and Li Huan killed three bears, ten or twenty. wild boar.

But Zhu Houzhao had a smile on his face, looked at Li Huan and said, "It seems that I lost this competition!"

Regardless of Li Huan's reaction, Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said, "Let's go!"

When a group of people came out of the dense forest, the chief of the hunting ground who had been guarding outside and the Jin Yiwei who were looking around all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they also knew that the possibility of the emperor's hunting accidents was very small, but as long as they didn't see the emperor for a moment, they would have to worry about it. Seeing Zhu Houzhao's safe return now, they were naturally relieved.

Li Huan beckoned, Qian Ning rushed forward when he saw this, and said to Li Huan respectfully: "This subordinate has met your lord, and I don't know what your lord wants!"

Seeing Qian Ning's respectful appearance, it's hard to imagine that just a moment ago, Qian Ning was so envious of Li Huan.

Li Huan said indifferently: "Qian Ning, you can take people into the forest later to bring out the prey I hunted. Well, except for the three bears, the rest of the wild boars should be distributed to the brothers. It’s also good for everyone to have a tooth-beating ceremony.”

Qian Ning was startled, as if he didn't expect Li Huan and the others to meet Xiong Wei and wild boar, but he nodded calmly and said, "I obey."

After Zhu Hou took care of Li Huan and finished giving orders, he said to Li Huan: "It's rare that I come out today, why don't you go to Qing's residence and have a look."

Li Huan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, obviously Zhu Houzhao had such an idea before he arrived first, his residence was shabby.

Obviously Zhu Houzhao's idea was just a temporary idea, but no matter how the idea came about, since Zhu Houzhao has spoken, can he still refuse?

With a slight smile, Li Huan hurriedly said, "It would be my honor if Your Majesty could come here."

Looking at the Luanjia, Zhu Houzhao said in his heart, "There is no need for the Luanjia. The movement is a bit loud. It just so happens that I will ride with Li Qing on horseback."

Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhu Houzhao really took the emperor's car, and such a large team went to his residence, his alley might not be able to accommodate so many people.

Soon the group of lightly dressed and simple people returned to Beijing first, leaving Qiu Ju and a large team to drive back to Beijing with Emperor Luan.

Riding on the horse, Zhu Houzhao led the horse, and Li Huan was half a body behind Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao said with a bit of excitement: "Except in the palace, I rarely indulge like this outside the palace." The horse gallops."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's excited appearance, Li Huan could understand Zhu Houzhao's mood.Although the imperial palace is large, it is a narrow world for Zhu Houzhao, which restrains his nature, and leaving the imperial palace, Zhu Houzhao's nature has obviously been released, and it is no wonder that he is in a bad mood.

With a slight smile, Li Huan said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country after all, the son of a thousand gold can't sit down, safety is the most important..."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said: "Could it be that Li Qing, you want to persuade me to stay in the palace honestly and be a puppet emperor who has no freedom and no fun like the queen mother and elder Ge?"

Li Huan shook his head with a smile and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, what I mean is that if Your Majesty wants to leave the palace anytime, you should call the minister, and the minister will escort Your Majesty!"

At first I thought that Li Huan was admonishing him not to leave the palace, but when he heard what Li Huan said, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing and said, "It's a good thing your mother didn't let the empress mother and the old elders hear your words, otherwise If you don't, you must be convicted of bewitching me."

Li Huan said with a smile: "Your Majesty was joking, but I don't mean to confuse His Majesty."

While the monarchs and ministers were joking, time naturally passed quickly, and the group arrived at Li Huan's residence not long after.

A team of Jin Yiwei quickly patrolled around and defended Li Huan's residence. At this moment, Zhu Houzhao walked towards the alley accompanied by Li Huan.

When Li Huan pushed open the door and entered the yard, Zhu Houzhao had been looking around the whole time.

This is just an ordinary small farmyard. Although Li Huan bought the nearby yard and opened a door in the wall, the space is extremely narrow even if the two yards are combined. .

That is to say, Li Huan didn't have any relatives around him, otherwise, such a big yard might not be able to accommodate even relatives.

Li Huan walked towards the living room with Zhu Houzhao in front and said: "This place is too simple, but please forgive me by Your Majesty."

But Zhu Houzhao said with a sigh: "I don't think so. What I think is that if all the officials of my Ming Dynasty are as clean as water and dedicated to their duties, why should my Ming Dynasty not be strong and prosperous, and why should I worry about corrupt officials? Worry about it!"

Li Huan asked Zhu Houzhao to sit down and said, "Your Majesty, you have a high opinion of me. I actually accepted bribes from others. It's like how the staff of Fujian's procuratorial envoy sent a price to me two days ago." It’s a generous gift of thousands of taels of silver.”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, pointed at Li Huan and shook his head with a smile, "Can't you let me praise you properly!"

Here Lianqiao heard the movement, and when she saw Zhu Houzhao, she was curious, after all, she had never seen Li Huan be so polite to anyone.

Li Huan said to the dazed Lianqiao: "Lianqiao, this is Your Majesty, hurry up and pay your respects to Your Majesty!"

The young eunuchs and the two young maids in Li Huan's house knew Zhu Houzhao's identity, so there was no need for Zhu Houzhao to conceal his identity.

Lian Qiao couldn't help being stunned when she heard the words, and she didn't realize it until Li Huan coughed lightly, and hurriedly greeted Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and signaled Li Huan to stand up. After looking at Li Huan for a while, Zhu Houzhao gave Li Huan a strange look, waved his hands and said, "Go down."

Only then did Forsythia retreat as if she had received an amnesty.

After Forsythia withdrew, Zhu Houzhao looked up and down Li Huan with a very strange gaze, which only made Li Huan feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, you are..."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said to Li Huan, "Li Qing, do you have any problems with that?"

Li Huan was puzzled for a moment, and looked at Zhu Houzhao in astonishment, not quite understanding what Zhu Houzhao meant.

But soon Li Huan came to his senses. The more he reacted, the more exciting the expression on Li Huan's face. He never thought that Zhu Houzhao would ask him such a question.

Of course, it can also be seen that Zhu Houzhao really doesn't treat him as an outsider, and doesn't even treat the relationship between the two as an ordinary monarch and minister. he.

With a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Huan said, "Why did your majesty say that?"

Seeing Li Huan's reaction, Zhu Houzhao knew that Li Huan had reacted, so he laughed in a low voice: "I have seen countless women, from my point of view, you are a personal maid, but you have not lost your virginity, such a beautiful and refined beauty By the side, you..."

Li Huan couldn't help coughing violently, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, I'm just a young man. I've been busy practicing martial arts all this time, so I don't have any thoughts..."

Zhu Houzhao stared at Li Huan when he heard the words, and suddenly couldn't help showing off with a bit of pride: "In this case, you are far behind me. I have seen countless girls since I was 14 years old, and so far..."

But soon Zhu Houzhao stopped, as if he felt that it was not good for him to show off to his courtiers as an emperor, so he couldn't help coughing a few times, and actively changed the subject: "Don't mention these, don't mention these, sir My family promised to teach me kung fu before, so I don’t want to be as powerful as the Qing family, well, it’s enough to be half as good as the Qing family.”

To be honest, Zhu Houzhao's flaunting made Li Huan quite embarrassed, but hearing that Zhu Houzhao had sex with men and women at the age of 14, and even seemed to be very frequent in this kind of thing, without any restraint, this made Li Huan feel a little nervous. Surprised, suddenly remembered something.

Zhu Houzhao had no offspring.

As the son of heaven, the heirs are the foundation of the country, and the heavenly family has no personal affairs.Even if it is placed in the homes of ordinary people, there is still a saying that there are three things that are unfilial and have no descendants, let alone Zhu Houzhao, the emperor.

As an emperor, it might not be a good thing to have too many heirs. After all, having more heirs means more thoughts. If not, there will be a scene where brothers seize the heir.

But if there are too few heirs, the consequences will be even more serious. If there are too many heirs, no matter how you fight for power, the meat will rot in your own pot.

But if there is no descendant, the country will change hands after death.

The most typical example in history is Zhu Houzhao, because Zhu Houzhao's father, Emperor Xiaozong, only loved the queen. The typical monogamy system resulted in difficult offspring, and there was only Zhu Houzhao as a son.

If that's the case alone, it's fine. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao grew up smoothly and inherited the throne. As long as Zhu Houzhao has many heirs, there will be no problem.

The point is that Zhu Houzhao had no heirs left until he died, and the direct consequence of Zhu Houzhao's lack of heirs was that he, the emperor, died for no reason. In the end, even the supreme throne of their lineage fell into the hands of his cousin. As for his emperor who was desperately smeared after his death, no one spoke up for him.

If Zhu Houzhao had an heir, maybe he would not be rejected if he begged the chief assistant Yang Tinghe to change the imperial doctor when he was seriously ill, and maybe no one would dare to discredit him as the emperor after his death.

Thinking of this, Li Huan's expression became more serious, and Zhu Houzhao obviously sensed that Li Huan's expression was wrong.

Seeing Li Huan's expression was wrong, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said, "Li Qing, what's wrong with you?"

Li Huan came back to his senses and stared at Zhu Houzhao carefully, as if he wanted to see if there was something wrong with Zhu Houzhao's body.

Now Zhu Houzhao felt a little unnatural, after all, even the emperor couldn't do it if he was stared at.

"Li Qing!"

Li Huan suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and made up his mind that he must figure out this matter when he has time. After all, whether Zhu Houzhao's health is really important.

Coughing lightly, Li Huan said with a smile: "It's the minister who was rude. Just now, the minister was thinking about what kung fu to teach His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and said: "Well, if I want to increase my strength, the bigger the better."

Obviously, Li Huan's frightening and terrifying strength left a deep impression on Zhu Houzhao. In addition, Zhu Houzhao himself is a martial emperor. In his opinion, if he has enough strength, he can beat lions and tigers. The famous generals generally gallop on horses, and take the head of the general among the ten thousand troops.

Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Since Your Majesty likes martial arts, why didn't you start practicing martial arts early? Don't you know that the sooner you practice martial arts, the better. Practicing martial arts in your youth will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and the effect will be extremely fast."

Zhu Houzhao smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "Although I like martial arts, my father has always taught me to read more. As an emperor, it is more important to read more and be sensible, and the few scholars who are in charge of teaching me are not allowed to read more books." I practice martial arts, that is, bow and horse salvo, and I also learned it secretly from the guards of the Eastern Palace."

Although there are speculations, Li Huan was also deeply moved after hearing what Zhu Houzhao said. Standing on the standpoint of Emperor Xiaozong, he naturally hoped that Zhu Houzhao would pay more attention to the rule of culture, and be like him to share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, and to govern the world. the emperor.

As for the great scholars who taught the prince Zhu Houzhao, all of them are Confucian bigwigs, how could they let the prince, who is the crown prince, get in touch with martial arts? trouble?

It can be imagined that under such circumstances, even if Zhu Houzhao had a heart for martial arts and wanted to practice martial arts, no one would have the courage to teach him.

With a bit of excitement, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan expectantly. Before he became the emperor, he had been taught by several bachelors, and he had no chance to practice martial arts.

After becoming the emperor, he didn't have that time and thought, that is, he was stimulated by Li Huan, and Zhu Houzhao's mind of practicing martial arts back then was hooked out.

Li Huan can understand Zhu Houzhao's thoughts. In fact, he doesn't have much hope for Zhu Houzhao's persistence.

After all, as the Son of Heaven, it is unrealistic for Zhu Houzhao to devote himself to practicing martial arts. It can be said that it is not bad to be able to devote so much energy to practice in a day.

At the same time, Li Huan was also thinking about what kind of kung fu was more suitable to teach Zhu Houzhao.

He has written down too many top-notch exercises in the imperial history, whether it is the Yijin Jing, the Nine Yin Scriptures, or the Nine Yang Scriptures, these are the top exercises.

However, it is not suitable for Zhu Houzhao to practice these exercises. Not to mention that these exercises actually have certain requirements in terms of qualifications. unrealistic.

Another point is that Zhu Houzhao's requirement is to be able to increase his strength. Obviously, after these exercises are completed, he will definitely be able to increase his strength to a certain extent, but he is not optimistic about Zhu Houzhao's ability to practice them, and he even said that he has no hope at all.

Suddenly, Li Huan thought of a kung fu method, which seemed to be very suitable for the emperor Zhu Houzhao to practice.

Xuanwu breath method, this method is not so much a martial arts method, but more like a Taoist health preservation method.

It's just that this method is compatible with both, it not only has the ability to strengthen the body, but also has the effect of prolonging life.

For an emperor like Zhu Houzhao, there is nothing more attractive than longevity.

Li Huan was in this era, but he was very aware of the power of the imperial power. Just because of Zhu Houzhao's favor, he became a superior existence, and even the old man was pulled down by him.

Li Huan also knew that he was safe and sound because of Zhu Houzhao's strong support. Without the protection of the emperor, Li Huan can guarantee that under the counterattack of the civil official group, even if he has a good cultivation base, he can go one step further. , even if Li Cunxiao, who was brave and invincible in the past, came back to life, I am afraid that there is only one way to die.

If Zhu Houzhao can live to be a hundred years old, then he has more room for maneuver. He can completely encourage Zhu Houzhao to carry out reforms one by one, whether it is rectifying the administration of officials or collecting business taxes, cracking down on land mergers, or It is to encourage Zhu Houzhao to rectify his armaments, expand externally, and open the door to the sea for Ming Dynasty.

With hundreds of years to do these things, under his influence, Li Huan is really looking forward to where Daming will go in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Huan's eyes showed a strange look, and he suddenly raised his head to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, I have a skill here, which should be suitable for your majesty to practice."

Zhu Houzhao was already full of anticipation, but now hearing what Li Huan said, Dang even looked at Li Huan excitedly and said, "Quickly tell me, Qing family, what exercises did you choose for me?"

It was Jinkou's permission for Li Huan to go to Huangshicheng. Li Huan wrote down some exercises, and he knew it, so he asked Li Huan to decide what exercises to teach him.

With Zhu Houzhao's trust in Li Huan, it is natural that Li Huan will definitely help him choose the most suitable exercises.

Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "I accidentally found a kung fu method in the imperial history book, called the Xuanwu breath method. In my opinion, this kung fu method is the most suitable for your majesty to practice."

"Xuanwu breath method!"

Zhu Houzhao murmured: "This exercise sounds interesting, does it mean breathing like a turtle?"

Regarding Zhu Houzhao's understanding, Li Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty's understanding is actually not too wrong. It's just that the Xuanwu breathing method is actually more focused on health preservation. If your majesty can use it The cultivation of it can strengthen the foundation and nourish the vitality, delay aging, and it is not impossible to live a long life."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment and said: "What Daban means is that this is just a health-preserving exercise, and it cannot make my strength skyrocket like yours!"

If it was an ordinary emperor who heard such a good thing as being able to prolong his life, he might have been overjoyed already, but Zhu Houzhao didn't look happy, and his focus was on not being able to increase his strength.

In fact, Li Huan somewhat forgot that Zhu Houzhao is just a young man at the moment, and it can be said that he is not even fully grown up. At the beginning stage of his life, how do you make him look like those old emperors who have entered their twilight years and valued their lifespan extremely seriously.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao does not have a sense of crisis in terms of life span, so naturally he does not have such a deep understanding of the kung fu of prolonging life.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's reaction, Li Huan quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished talking yet, the Xuanwu Breathing Method is for your Majesty to strengthen your foundation and nourish your body, and to prepare for another discipline." The exercises are used to lay the foundations, after all, His Majesty also knows, but those who have great strength and infinite strength are mostly those with strong bodies."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "Yes, although my body is not weak, I can't be regarded as physically strong. If this Xuanwu breathing method can strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality, then I will listen to your cultivation."

Zhu Houzhao said with a bit of curiosity: "Then Li Qing, the other exercise you chose for me must be able to increase strength."

Originally, Li Huan only planned to teach Zhu Houzhao how to practice the Xuanwu Breathing Method and become a long-lived emperor, but who made Zhu Houzhao so different, so Li Huan had no choice but to say to Zhu Houzhao, "I chose another exercise for your majesty. It's the dragon elephant Bo Ruogong."

"Dragon Elephant Bo Ruogong? It sounds not bad, may it increase my strength?"

Li Huan nodded and said: "That's natural. This kind of exercise is the one specially practiced by the Dharma King of the Tantric School of Tibet. It is said that one can have the power of ten dragons and ten elephants when cultivated to great success. In terms of increasing energy, I'm afraid there is no Which skill can surpass this skill."

"The power of ten dragons and ten elephants, even if it is a little exaggerated, can have two or three percent, that's enough. This technique is good, so I will practice this technique!"

Zhu Houzhao's look of anticipation seemed to be imagining that he had achieved great feats, like Li Huan, who could lift a tripod, fight off bears and tigers, and take the head of a general among thousands of troops.

With just one glance, Li Huan knew what Zhu Houzhao was thinking, and couldn't help coughing lightly: "Your Majesty's Xuanwu breathing method is the foundation. Only when you have practiced the Xuanwu breathing method can you better practice the Dragon Elephant Boruo Kungfu." .”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "I know, I'm not a child, so I naturally know the importance of the foundation, the Qing family should hurry up and teach me the method of cultivation, I can't help but want to try it now."

Li Huan looked around, and said to Zhang Yong and Gao Feng who were his attendants: "You two old brothers, please go and watch outside, don't let anyone disturb your majesty."

Regarding the fact that Li Huan wanted to teach Zhu Houzhao how to practice, Zhang Yong and Gao Feng naturally had no objections, especially when they heard that Li Huan wanted to teach Zhu Houzhao how to keep fit and healthy, they agreed a hundred times.

These people want Zhu Houzhao to be healthy and healthy more than anyone else. As long as Zhu Houzhao is healthy, then those who are attached to Zhu Houzhao will be fine.

Seeing Zhang Yong and Gao Feng leaving the living room, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan excitedly.

Li Huan looked at Zhu Houzhao seriously and said: "Your Majesty, I will first pass on the heart formula of the Xuanwu breathing method, and after you have achieved a little, I will pass on the practice method of Longxiang Boruo Gong."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Since I asked you to teach me how to practice martial arts, then you can arrange these things, and I will listen to you."

Li Huan nodded, and began to pass on the Xuanwu breath method to Zhu Houzhao word by word. Just by looking at the mysterious heart formula, one can know that this method is definitely from the hands of Taoist masters.

That is to say, in order to practice, Li Huan also practiced medical skills, and read many Taoist classics. Otherwise, if he knew nothing about the human body's tendons and acupoints, or Taoist classics, he would probably not be able to write down this Taoist health regimen verbatim. useless.

Zhu Houzhao's knowledge base is quite solid, but that also refers to the Confucian classics. He was a prince since he was a child and was trained as a future emperor. Zhu Houzhao couldn't get in touch with other classics if he wanted to.

Because Zhu Houzhao was trained according to the orthodox emperor, the difference can be seen by comparing the Jiajing emperor Zhu Houcong, who later inherited the throne as a branch of the royal family, who was obsessed with the study of Taoism and alchemy.

Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong was a son of the royal family who had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. No one thought that he would be able to sit on the throne one day, and naturally he would not ask him what he must learn and what he cannot learn, so Emperor Jiajing has been in contact with more since he was a child. What is more is the mysterious and mysterious fairy tales of Taoism.

And maybe if the basalt breath method was thrown to Emperor Jiajing, this man would definitely be able to learn by himself without anyone's teaching.

But Zhu Houzhao is different. Without Li Huan explaining the Taoist terms and key points, Zhu Houzhao might not even understand the meaning of the exercises.

Originally, Li Huan thought that Zhu Houzhao would find it boring. After all, cultivation itself is a boring thing. He never thought that Zhu Houzhao would learn with gusto. .

As far as Zhu Houzhao's learning talent is concerned, it is really extraordinary. He was able to practice good riding and archery skills just by stealing lessons. In addition, Zhu Houzhao was proficient in Sanskrit and Portuguese through self-study later.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's ability to accept is so fast, Li Huan's teaching is naturally much easier. After the whole story is finished, Li Huan after some exams, suddenly found that Zhu Houzhao has memorized seven or eight, and at most he will teach a few more. Over and over, keep them and write them down.

Seeing Li Huan's surprised look, Zhu Houzhao said quite proudly: "My learning ability has never been bad. Recently, I am learning Sanskrit and I have mastered it a little bit. Although this Xuanwu breathing method is mysterious It’s a little bit better, but it’s not that difficult to learn those foreign languages.”

Li Huan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worthy of being the dragon of the Tian family, and he is very accessible."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing and said: "I heard Gao Feng and Liu Jin once said that practicing inner strength is boring and tasteless, and it will extremely test a person's determination and patience. It is precisely these two things that I need the most. I will practice this Xuanwu Breathing Technique in the shortest possible time, and I will need you, Li Qing, to teach me the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu."

Li Huan understands why Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng are so weak in strength, or these people have already passed the best stage of cultivation when they came into contact with the Sunflower Book, and their tendons and bones have been fixed, so it is difficult to achieve any attainments , or their own xinxing is not enough.

After all, in the eyes of Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng, power is far more important than any skill. It is obviously impossible for them to concentrate on practicing and give up trying to please Zhu Houzhao.

With a slight smile, Li Huan said: "As long as your Majesty succeeds in practicing the Xuanwu breath method, I will definitely pass on the Dragon Elephant Boruo Gong to your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao got up and said: "It's not early today, I should go back to the palace, otherwise if I go back late, the queen mother should nagging me again."

Li Huan quickly followed Zhu Houzhao out and said, "I will escort Your Majesty back to the palace."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "In this imperial city, there are so many guards and Jinyiwei guards. If there are still people who can threaten my safety, I am afraid that even one more Qing will not be able to protect me."

Li Huan knew that what Zhu Houzhao said was also true. In this important place in the capital, it is not so easy to assassinate the emperor who is heavily guarded.

Watching the emperor go away, Li Huan returned to the mansion.

In the imperial city, Gu Dayong, who is the chief inspector of the imperial horse and the number two person in the inner palace, knelt down there with a face of panic at the moment.

A woman in her 30s is dressed in a luxurious palace dress, and she is full of nobility. She is not an ordinary person at first glance.

If Gu Dayong was so terrified by such a chief executive, then looking at the harem, apart from the empress of the former Emperor Xiaozong, there is really no one else in the present Empress Dowager Zhang.

The Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Gu Dayong who was kneeling on the ground with a worried expression, and said, "Gu Dayong, I will ask you why the emperor left the palace, and who bewitched him to leave the government behind?" Deal with it, even ran to hunt, from my point of view, you slaves are really lawless, today this palace will punish you on behalf of the emperor, let's see who dares to trick the emperor to go out of the palace to play without authorization in the future."

No wonder the Queen Mother was furious. She had admonished Zhu Houzhao not long ago. She thought that Zhu Houzhao would be able to be honest for a few days, but she never thought that it would not be long before she sneaked out of the palace again and left the government affairs alone, so that several All the elders begged to come here, hoping to restrain the emperor one or two.

Originally, the queen mother didn't want to care about these things. After all, she didn't have any desire for power. She was just a mother. Naturally, she hoped that her royal son would be more sensible and be a good emperor like his father.

So this time the queen mother got angry and directly sent someone to take Gu Dayong, who was staying in the palace, to interrogate her.

Gu Dayong, who was kneeling on the ground at this moment, felt aggrieved in his heart, these days he was busy rectifying the imperial horse prison, how could he have the time to encourage the emperor to run out to play.

Besides, he didn't know who tricked the emperor to go out.

"Your Majesty, if you don't come back, I'm afraid this old slave will lose his life!"

Facing the Queen Mother, no matter how powerful Gu Dayong is, he is still a servant of the royal family and can only be honestly let the Queen Mother dispose of him.

"Come on, let me drag him out, and I'll charge him forty sticks!"

When Gu Dayong heard it, he prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed and begged: "The Queen Mother, please forgive me, the Queen Mother, please forgive me, the old slave did not deceive Your Majesty..."

The queen mother snorted coldly and said: "Several old elders told Aijia more than once that the emperor was spoiled by you slaves. I pity you for being the emperor's companions, and I can't bear to punish you, but I never thought that you would be like this." bold."

"It's the cabinet and other immortals who have the ability to trouble Liu Jin. Why do you want me to be angry with the queen mother!"

When Gu Dayong was dragged out, he kept cursing the cabinet elders in his heart.

When Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, he was in a very good mood, with a look of joy on his face, and while walking, he was chanting the formula of the Xuanwu breathing method that Li Huan had taught him not long ago.

Before returning to Qianqing Palace, a young eunuch ran over in a panic and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are finally back, go and rescue Chief Gu!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at the little eunuch suspiciously and said, "What happened to Gu Daban? In this palace, who else can do anything to him except me!"

Gu Dayong is the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, even Liu Jin, who is known as the No. 1 supervisor of the Ouchi, can't help Gu Dayong, which makes Zhu Houzhao can't help being curious.

The little eunuch is Gu Dayong's subordinate. When Gu Dayong was summoned by the queen mother, he had already ordered the other party to keep an eye on the queen mother. If he does not return for a long time, the emperor must ask the emperor to rescue him when he returns. he.

The little eunuch also lived up to Gu Dayong's expectations, and has been sending people to watch the movements in the Queen Mother's palace. When he learned that Gu Dayong was punished by the Queen Mother, the little eunuch was terrified.

When Zhu Houzhao learned from the eunuch that Gu Dayong was summoned by his mother, he couldn't help being shocked, and subconsciously had the idea of ​​not wanting to go, but soon Zhu Houzhao said: "Follow me and pay my respects to my mother." .”

Gu Dayong is his companion, he really can't just sit back and watch Gu Dayong being punished by his mother.

When Zhu Houzhao arrived, he heard a familiar wail from afar.

"Forgive me, Queen Mother, please forgive me, this old slave knows his mistake, this old slave knows his mistake."

Hearing the angry voice begging for mercy, Zhu Houzhao smiled. It seems that Gu Dayong should not be in any danger for his life.

After all, Gu Dayong is also the head of the real power of the palace. The eunuchs in the palace are not afraid of getting a little bit. Unless the queen mother orders Gu Dayong to be executed directly, otherwise the eunuchs who are in charge of carrying out the punishment are not stupid , how dare you really blame Gu Dayong.

In addition, Gu Dayong has also cultivated at any rate. Although his strength is not very good, there is still no problem in carrying the responsibility with his internal breath.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, forty sticks would be enough to beat a strong young man to death, but Gu Dayong looked full of energy at the moment.

Gu Dayong, who was howling, saw Zhu Houzhao striding towards him at a glance. The moment he saw Zhu Houzhao, Gu Dayong's eyes lit up, tears streaming down his face and he shouted, "Your Majesty, it's really great that you are here!" That's great, if you don't come again, you won't be able to see the old slave!"

Zhu Hou took a look at Gu Dayong, looked at Gu Dayong again, and finally smiled and said to the eunuch who was executing the sentence: "Use a little effort, so light and light, how can you make him have a long memory!"

Where did the little eunuch experience such a scene, this is the emperor himself talking to them, he panicked, he let go of the strength he had been holding down, and immediately heard Gu Dayong's mournful wail.

"Your Majesty, this old slave is hurt to death!"

Zhu Houzhao ignored Gu Dayong, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Gao Feng, Zhang Yong and the others behind him looked at Gu Dayong who was lying there being punished with smiles on their faces, and even came up to him to comfort him: "Brother Gu, isn't it just a punishment with a stick? It's over!"

Gu Dayong glared at the two of them angrily, unable to bear the sharp pain from his buttocks, he couldn't help screaming.

In the queen mother's bedroom, when Zhu Houzhao arrived, there were already servants who had gone to Tongbing, so when Zhu Houzhao saw the queen mother, the queen mother was staring at him with an unkind expression.

Seeing the Queen Mother's angry look, Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to the Queen Mother with a smile on his face and said, "Queen Mother, my son greets you!"

As he spoke, he sat beside the queen mother, leaned forward and said to the queen mother: "Hey, who made the queen mother angry, who is it, tell the son, the son vents the anger for the mother."

After all, mother and child are connected, the queen mother glared at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Who else can make me, the queen mother, angry."

With a soft sigh, the Empress Dowager Zhang took Zhu Houzhao's hand and said, "My son, your father left early, which made you have to carry such a heavy burden at such a young age, but as an emperor, you must have The appearance of the emperor, when your father was here, even if you ran out to play, the queen mother would not blame you, but it is different now, for an emperor, it is not proper to run out of the palace at every turn."

Zhu Houzhao nodded again and again: "My mother's lesson is that my son has written it down, and I must handle the government affairs well in the future, and be a good emperor like my father."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao like this, the queen mother reached out and nodded Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows and said: "Okay, if you can be honest for a while, I will be satisfied with the queen mother, and the elders in the province will give the mother a booklet to tell you about the emperor. "

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help muttering: "I knew it, it must be that some Ge elders said something to your mother again."

Patting Zhu Houzhao on the shoulder, the Empress Dowager said: "Master Li, Master Yang, Master Xie, and Master Liu are all ministers left to you by your father and emperor. Since Liu and Xie were taken by the emperor, the queen mother is a woman." People, the harem is not allowed to engage in politics, and the queen mother doesn't say anything, but the emperor, you have to remember, although you are the emperor, how will you govern the world without the assistance of these ministers."

Zhu Houzhao frowned immediately when he heard the words, "Mother, have you heard something?"

The queen mother looked at Zhu Houzhao, and sighed slightly: "Today your uncle came to the palace to see your mother, and I heard from your mother that because you allowed Jin Yiwei to create unjust cases and confiscate the property of all officials, there are already complaints in the court. The officials are even going to stop the court, I hope you, the emperor, will restrain the Jinyiwei."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly blew his hair and said angrily: "They dare!"
