Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 816 Politics and Virtue

  Emperor Hongzhi is in a hurry.

  For such an old empress dowager, if there is even a slight mistake, it will be over.

  He hastily ordered people to prepare the royal driver, and made a decisive decision to take people out of the palace.

  The mighty team left from Daming Gate.

  Zhu Houzhao didn't follow, but just watched the team going away with silly joy.

  He was about to leave, but at this moment, Liu Jian and the three of them came slowly from a distance, just now His Majesty summoned them to the Nuan Pavilion, halfway there, and heard that His Majesty had actually left the palace.

   What does this mean?

   Everything is fine, what happened?

   Liu Jian and the three were dumbfounded.

   Then I saw Zhu Houzhao coming out with a smug look on his face.

   "His Royal Highness, His Majesty..."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "It's nothing, but the empress dowager occasionally feels unwell, and the father was worried, so he went."

   Liu Jian and the three looked at each other, dumbfounded.

  Liu Jian squeezed out a smile: "This, this... It should be, it should be, Your Majesty is extremely filial, ministers, etc., I admire it."

  Xie Qian also nodded: "Yes, yes, that's the reason."

  What can I say?

   Your Majesty is here to visit his grandmother!

  …

  Emperor Hongzhi was in a hurry, but even so, it took him two hours to arrive at the Hall of Renshou in Daming Palace.

  Here, what I saw was that the Empress Dowager was full of energy.

comfortable.

  It is really like spring all the year around here, and I can't feel the chill in my body at all. I even took a bath this morning. After soaking in the hot spring water, my body is really refreshing.

  Even the meals here are arranged by Mr. Wen himself. They are delicious and delicious.

  At this time, the Empress Dowager was wrapped in clothes and lay comfortably on the deck chair on the terrace.

Early spring is here, and butterflies are flying outside the terrace. Last night, the flower buds were still in bud, and they were in full bloom overnight. The terrace is illuminated on three sides, all of which are made of large glass. The Empress Dowager let out a sigh of relief: "Mr. Zhang."

Empress Zhang knows how to enjoy herself better than the Empress Dowager. She is still young after all. The petals were all sprinkled in the hot spring water, after soaking, Empress Zhang suddenly felt that she seemed a few years younger.

   "The concubine is here."

   "You said...our ancestors, why didn't they think of these things when they first built the Forbidden City?"

Empress Zhang said with a smile: "Not long after the founding of the country, Emperor Wen was the emperor on a horse. How could he know that it was just for the officials below to plan. But these officials below are holding a book of sages every day. Where are they? He would think about making us comfortable. But Fang Jifan is different. Fang Jifan is his own. His original intention of building this Daming Palace is to be filial. His intention is to make us comfortable, don't you think so? "

   "That's the truth." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "That's the truth."

   "You two ladies, Your Majesty has come to greet you." A **** hurried over.

   "Ah." The Empress Dowager wanted to get up.

  Queen Zhang got up in a hurry, bending down to help the Empress Dowager up.

  Emperor Hongzhi, however, has come quickly.

   When the Empress Dowager saw Emperor Hongzhi, she said, "Take off your boots, take off your boots, the blanket is dirty."

   "Oh." Emperor Hongzhi blushed, hurriedly turned back, took off his boots, and came in: "Sun Chen greets grandma, grandma, old man, are you feeling better?"

   "Okay, okay." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "It's much better, it's comfortable."

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

   "Why is the emperor here?"

   "..."

   "Look at you looking out of breath." The empress dowager said kindly, "You have a lot of things to do, so don't bother with it. It's such a long journey, why come to ask for peace?"

   "Sun Chen was worried after all." Emperor Hongzhi said.

  The Empress Dowager shook her head: "Forget it, since you're here, don't rush back, take a bath first, eat something, and take a good rest here."

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi made a false alarm.

   But really too tired.

  For more than two hours, even if I sat on the step, I wobbled and felt dizzy.

  So I went to Qianning Palace, took a shower, ate something, and sat in the study of Qianning Palace. It was very comfortable here, but Emperor Hongzhi began to think about the Forbidden City again: "Xiao Banban."

   "The servant is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Why don't you go and send today's memorial, I'd better take a look at it."

   "Follow the order."

  Xiao Jing said in his heart, we are old bones.

   This memorial was not delivered until midnight.

  Emperor Hongzhi was watching in this bright study, and Empress Zhang crept in, seeing that he was serious, she didn't dare to disturb him.

  So he stood gently behind Emperor Hongzhi, gently rubbing his shoulders.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked up and looked at her.

Empress Zhang's face was bright red, revealing the shyness of her daughter's family: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a good place for self-cultivation and self-cultivation. The Empress Dowager lives comfortably, and some old diseases have disappeared. The concubine also feels that ...Excellent. Your Majesty has been in poor health for the past few years and needs to be raised and rested. Why don't you stay here for a while?"

this…

  Emperor Hongzhi was a little hesitant. Here...it's really comfortable.

  If he is allowed to return to the Forbidden City again, he is really not used to it.

  The most important thing is that the Empress Dowager is here, so I can't ask her to go back. I can't let go of being alone in the Forbidden City.

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "Then stay for a while."

  Empress Zhang continued to rub shoulders for Emperor Hongzhi: "That's all right, right, take care of your body, those important national affairs, let's leave it to the cabinet for the time being."

"This can't be done." Emperor Hongzhi said with a straight face, "Throughout the ages, those who are in power must not be negligent and negligent. If you lose power in one day, it will be destroyed by an ant's nest like a thousand-mile embankment. If you lose power for one day, tomorrow If you lose power for another day, what will happen to the people in this world?"

   What else do you want to say after seeing Queen Zhang.

Emperor Hongzhi put on a straight face again: "The way of civil and military affairs lies in the strategy. If a person survives, his government will act; Therefore, the government depends on the person, take the person from the person, cultivate the body with the way, and cultivate the way with benevolence. If the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, if you are a king, if you neglect the government, your ministers will follow suit, and the world will be in chaos, and it will not be far away. "

  Queen Zhang felt a headache.

She suddenly remembered that when she married Emperor Hongzhi, who was still a prince, and became the princess, that day was the night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber. Emperor Hongzhi was still young at that time, but he was still like this. After a night of being a king, he also recited "The Analects of Confucius" to himself from beginning to end.

  At that time, the young Emperor Hongzhi also looked like this.

   "..." Empress Zhang pursed her lips and smiled sweetly. Obviously, she is very good at dealing with her husband now: "Your Majesty is right. Since this is the case, I will not say more."

  …

  In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Hongzhi continued to review the memorabilia, but immediately, he was holding a pen, but he had something on his mind.

  He is hesitating.

  In the draft of the memorandum, there were a few things that were not clarified. He wanted to send someone to the cabinet to ask, but the problem was that the journey was a bit long.

  Go back by yourself?

   Seems bad!

too tired!

   And it's comfortable here.

  Send someone to ask?

   I am afraid that I will not be able to explain clearly, and people will run away in vain.

   "How about..." Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "I called the three cabinet scholars here, I have something to ask."

  Xiao Jing bowed: "Observe the order."

  …

  His Majesty's oral order arrived.

  Liu Jian and the others, how dare you neglect them.

  So, he hurriedly took the sedan chair and arrived at Daming Palace.

  The sedan chair moved even more slowly, and it took two and a half hours. When it arrived at Daming Palace, it was already afternoon.

  Liu Jian was old, and when he got off the sedan chair, he couldn't help saying, "Hey, my waist."

   This sitting lasted for two and a half hours, and young people may not be able to bear it.

  Li Dongyang also staggered, while beating his waist lightly, panting.

   "Let's go, let's go, His Majesty is anxious to come."

  The three hurried to meet the driver.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked up at them after he asked about the proposal.

  The three of them were obviously tired, and Emperor Hongzhi sympathized with them: "The three Qing family, simply, let's take a rest here in Wenyuan Pavilion, or else, just vote here?"

   "Is that so..." Liu Jian thought for a while, and wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate, and finally nodded simply: "Old ministers obey the order."

  …

  The entire capital was jumping up and down.

  His Majesty is in Daming Palace, and the three cabinet scholars are also in Daming Palace.

  Countless memorials were sent to the Daming Palace for drafting and awarding awards, but the Cabinet Scholars did not draft with their eyes closed. If there are some things that I don’t understand, I have to ask the relevant people to ask. And once the decree is approved, it is necessary to immediately send relevant people to implement it.

   Various ministries, as well as Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, Hanlin Academy, Metropolitan Inspection Academy, Shuntian Mansion...

  Every department hall, people come at any time: "Where is the prince, the minister of the official department? By the order of Wenyuan Pavilion, there is a matter of Beijing inspection, and you need to ask carefully. It is urgent, please go to the prince."

  Wang Ao had a feeling of RI dog.

  The day before yesterday, he went to Daming Palace with Shengjia. It took him four or five hours to go back and forth. He still felt sore in his waist and back, and he still feels uncomfortable.

   Still going now?

   I have to go.

  The cabinet is asking, what can I say?

  So he sat in the sedan chair and set off obediently.

  …

   "Ma Gong, Ma Gong, the cabinet is asking, the amount of money and food that the Ministry of War sent to the cabinet the day before yesterday seems to be a bit wrong."

  Ma Wensheng just came back from Daming Palace and discussed about Ma Zheng.

  He was out of breath and terribly tired. But not long after landing, a fast horse came on the back foot.

  He was dazed, his eyes widened, and he looked at the person coming.

   "What do you mean, tell me."

   "Magong please bring the accounts, feel wronged, and go to Wenyuan Pavilion."

   "Which Wenyuan Pavilion." Ma Wensheng actually knew the answer, but he was not reconciled.

   "Daming Palace!"

   "..." Ma Wensheng's face turned green!

  ...

  Chapter 3, continue to ask for a monthly pass. In the last month of this year, the monthly pass is very, very much needed. The tiger is bursting with changes. Please support. Tell yourself, how many changes do you want!

   Fight!
