Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"Prince, my prince, wait for the old slave!" Seeing that the prince was praised by the emperor, Liu Jin was extremely excited, giggling and chasing after him.

But Zhu Houzhao went out for a long-distance run with Su Mu every morning these days, and his physical fitness and speed have been greatly improved. Eunuch Liu is not in good health, so how can he catch up.

In the hall, Emperor Hongzhi was still laughing.

Next to him, Liu Jian snorted: "Your Majesty..."

As a king, laughing so loudly is already out of appearance. Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly put away his smile, coughed lightly, and said, "This child, I haven't finished today's class, so I will let him go. Mr. Liu Ge, yes My fault."

"Your Majesty knows that you are wrong." Liu Jian was disturbed by the emperor after a good class, feeling unhappy, he walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

When he walked away, Hong Zhi said awkwardly: "This old Liu Ge is really Jiang Gui's nature, old and strong!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at his son's homework again, and Hong Zhi praised him: "The crown prince's problem is well done, and what's even more rare is that he solved this problem well. Mr. Liu Ge is really a good gentleman!"

Li Dongyang smiled beside him and didn't speak.

"Why, Li Qing, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is right. Mr. Jian is really a master of morality. After he explained this sentence, it really went to the bottom of his heart. What's more rare is that the crown prince can still remember it." Li Dongyang didn't think that then, just the paragraph that Chu Jun explained Judging from the text, whether it is the wording or the meaning in it, it is not the same as Liu Jian's own way of learning.

Liu Jian is a standard scholar-bureaucrat and an admirer of the strict hierarchy system of the Ming Dynasty.In his view, the so-called repair, uniformity, peace, and governance are the affairs of the kings and scholar-bureaucrats.As for morality, what morality can Lower Riba people have?

How could he teach the prince such a thing?

However, Li Dongyang was originally a wise man, seeing the emperor's high interest, naturally he would not rush to spoil the fun.

He was just surprised that the prince's performance today was really outstanding.It is true that Liu Mutou is a well-educated student, but he is still far behind as a teacher. How could he teach this kind of students.

So, who taught the prince's homework today, Xie Qian, no, not him; Wang Zhi, Lord Wang hasn't been to the East Palace recently.

Is there someone else in the DPRK trying to contact the prince?

This is interesting.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Dongyang's mouth.

……

"Mother's queen, mother's queen." Zhu Houzhao started to yell loudly after running into the queen's bedroom in one breath.

After running for such a long distance, he didn't catch his breath, only sweating.Although this is due to his long-distance running with Su Mu every day, it is directly related to his physical strength.

In the Ming Dynasty, many of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty died suddenly for no reason, some collapsed after taking elixir, and some were too fat to walk.In the eyes of later generations, they are basically in a state of stress and health.

But the health of the three monarchs in the Ming Dynasty was very good.Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding father of the country, and Zhu Di, the successor, fought all their lives on the battlefield, riding fast horses and pulling hard bows.As for the future Emperor Zhengde, he was also the one who dared to see blood on the battlefield, and he was fierce and fierce.

Zhu Houzhao's mother, Empress Zhang, was watering a bunch of flowers in the garden. Seeing her son rushing over, she lovingly took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Prince, why are you running so fast? The Crown Prince, what a shame it would be if someone sees it."

She is in her early thirties this year, just at the mature age of a woman. Even though she is dressed plainly, she still has a beauty that cannot be concealed. She looks graceful and luxurious like a blooming peony in the sun.

Zhu Houzhao has a strong body and is especially afraid of heat. He hid in Xiyuan to enjoy the coolness as soon as summer came. He hadn't entered the palace for a while.

Empress Zhang also missed her son very much, seeing her today, she couldn't help but burst into joy.

As a mother, she still can't help nagging like ordinary women: "Prince, you finally remember to come to see the queen mother."

Zhu Houzhao snatched the handkerchief from his mother, wiped it casually, and threw it to a court lady.Impatiently said: "Mother, I am most afraid of you nagging, if you do this again, I will run away immediately."

"You silly boy." Queen Zhang knew that her son's temperament was a man who could speak and act, so she was afraid that he would really run away later.Just smiled gently: "Why did you think of coming here today, why didn't you come before?"

"After returning to my mother, today is the day when my son is studying in the East Palace." Zhu Houzhao curled his lips deliberately: "In the past, when my son was studying, he was so annoyed by the grand scholars that he couldn't bear it. When he was in a bad mood, he didn't want to come here. Moreover, when the queen mother asks about the son's homework, she must be embarrassed to answer."

"Today is different." Zhu Houzhao became proud: "Today, my son did a great job in his studies, but Mr. Liu Ge didn't talk so much nonsense. Even the emperor praised my son."

"Ah, your father also praised you? Hurry up and tell the queen mother, so that the mother will be happy too." Queen Zhang was overjoyed and asked non-stop.

Zhu Houzhao replied proudly: "That's natural. Today, Mr. Liu Ge published a sentence from "Great Learning" for Erchen to explain. According to Erchen, this old Liu has no good intentions. One of the most difficult sentences. Unexpectedly, Erchen explained it very well. Just at this time, the father and Li Dashi came to the East Palace. Haha, seeing the son's homework, the father's expression. Did you not read the mother? I am so happy that my eyes lit up."

He was originally a young man, and when he talked about his pride, he couldn't help dancing.

Zhu Houzhao exaggerated, and the two maids beside Empress Zhang wanted to laugh but dared not speak out, so they couldn't bear it.

Empress Zhang gave a snort, and then said with a straight face on purpose: "What old head Liu, you are the crown prince, so it's not good to call him old Liu Ge. Prime Minister Liu is mature and prudent, and is a well-known moral master in the court. I know what you say I'm afraid he is about to go to the memorial and say that you are ridiculous? By the way, your homework is so good, can't you make a mistake?"

She also had some doubts, the prince was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, and her son knew it best.This is a careless friend, mischievous and full of tricks, full of energy for wielding knives and sticks, but dozing off when he touches a book.Children's words are exaggerated, but this matter cannot be fully believed.

The prince was a little annoyed when his mother didn't believe her.I couldn't help jumping up and shouting: "Sweeping fun, the queen mother just likes to spoil the fun of her children, do you believe me or not?"

When he got angry, the faces of the other court ladies turned pale with shock.

At this moment, Liu Jin finally caught up.

He was so tired that his lips were black, and when he saw Queen Zhang and the crown prince, he immediately collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, and shouted: "Prince, this old slave is almost exhausted, this old slave can't live anymore! I will serve you old man again!"

Empress Zhang frowned: "Liu Ban, I asked you how His Highness the Crown Prince's studies are today. You must answer truthfully, otherwise you will be killed directly."

"Yes yes yes, this old slave can only tell the truth, as for the lies, I haven't learned yet!" Panting for a long time, he breathed evenly.Liu Jin suddenly kowtowed and wailed in a long voice: "My lady, my lady, this old slave has come to announce the good news to you. Not only did the prince's schoolwork today satisfy His Majesty, even Li Dongyang and Li Dashi also praised the prince very much, slave I have served the prince for many years, and this is the first time I have seen two great scholars and His Majesty praise the prince at the same time. The servant is very happy, even if he dies now, he will be content in this life!"

After finishing speaking, I didn't care about anything else, and tears rolled down my face.

"At the same time, I was praised by His Majesty and the two Grand Scholars." Empress Zhang was startled, then showed an ecstatic look, and said "OK" several times in succession.

Seeing that Liu Jin was still crying, Empress Zhang was also moved: "Liu Ban, I know your loyalty to the prince, get up, cry like this, let others see it, and think that something serious happened here. What's up!"

"Yes, this slave can't help but be overjoyed!" Liu Jin stood up, wiping away tears.

Empress Zhang touched her son's forehead again: "The prince sees that you are so hot, come here, quickly take the prince into the house, and scoop up two bowls of sour plum soup. Put more ice cubes in the hall. The prince is a fiery person, and he is afraid of heat!"

The queen's bedroom was immediately in a hurry.

After finally looking forward to her son's arrival, Empress Zhang naturally let Zhu Houzhao stay.

Hearing that her son had been praised by the emperor, she felt even more energetic and kept smiling all day long.

"This feeling is really good!" After sitting in the hall for about half an hour, they talked with the queen mother for a long time.After a while, when Queen Zhang went down to arrange a residence for her son, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Liu Jin: "That's right, it's so cool here, Prince, are you still hot?" There are three big basins of ice cubes placed in the corner of the hall, and it's as cool as the end of autumn on a hot day.

"Idiot, do you mean it's cool here?" Zhu Houzhao smiled and stretched out his foot to kick Liu Jin lightly.

"Prince, this old servant is a fool, how can he dare to compare with you?"

The prince sighed: "Liu Ban, to be honest, I used to be too nonsense before, which made the queen mother unhappy all the time. Her old man would keep nagging when she saw Bengong. I don't usually I came here because I was afraid of hearing her reprimand, and I couldn’t bear to see her sad because of what happened to me. In fact, I miss my mother so much. When I came here today, I was so happy to see my mother. The minister is also very happy, this feeling is really good!"

Having said that, his eyes were reddish.

Hearing the crown prince talking about his thoughts, Liu Jin naturally didn't dare to intervene.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly smiled: "Although I know that I was messing around in the past, I can't change this temper, and there's nothing I can do, just let him go!"

Liu Jin echoed: "The prince is right."

"Why do you always say useless words?" The crown prince snorted, "To be honest, today is my luck. I thought Liu Mutou would come up with the "Shangshu" question, but I didn't expect him to ask me to explain a "Shangshu" question. "University", how is it so rare to live in this palace."

"A few days ago, I was reading and writing at Su Ziqiao's place, cultivating the aura of grandeur, sublimating the realm, and copying "The Great Learning" every day. Until now, I have memorized that book by heart, and I even remember how to explain every sentence. Yes. Don't explain a word, even if you continue to take the exam, it will be so rare to pass this palace."

The more Zhu Houzhao talked, the happier he was, and he walked around in the hall: "Then Liu Mutou always finds fault with me. If I'm not the prince, but someone else, I don't know what it will be like to be scolded. It's so hateful." .Today, I made a big splash, so let's see what else Liu Jian has to say?"

As soon as Liu Jian was mentioned, thinking of the beatings he had suffered these years, Liu Jin hated him in his heart, and took the opportunity to provoke: "The prince is right, this Liu Ge always hates it."

The prince nodded again and again: "If I become the emperor in the future, the first thing to do is to let Liu Mutou pack up his bed and go home to retire."

"The prince will definitely be a wise king in the future." Eunuch Liu was very pleasantly surprised.

Zhu Houzhao continued to laugh: "Mingjun Bengong will naturally be in the future. To be honest, I really scared me today. It's okay, it's okay..."

After laughing, he sighed: "Fortunately, there is Su Ziqiao, this Su Mu is really a lucky general of the palace!"
