[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much
Chapter 56
The sound of footsteps in the room stopped suddenly, Lehua's heart trembled, he was too reckless just now!He turned around and took a few steps to back out quickly, even closing the door, and just after he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Gao Feng and Xiao Dezi behind him looking at him, which scared him half to death.
Gao Feng didn't even look at Le Hua, and stood at the door frowning, listening carefully to the movement in the room, but the sound insulation of this room has always been good, once the door is closed, nothing can be heard.Could it be that something really happened? Gao Feng was a little worried, as there had never been such a thing between the emperor and Jiao Shizhi.
In the dark room, the two stood at each other without saying a word.
In the darkness, Jiao Shizhi was standing by the door. If Zhu Houzhao hadn't stopped him with a word just now, he would have crossed the threshold and left now.If he continued to stay here, Jiao Shizhi didn't know what to say. After he reflected on himself just now, he felt ashamed to stay here again. Although his starting point was not what the emperor said, his words and deeds It is really embarrassing to reveal such a meaning.
It was in vain that he was older than the emperor for several years, but he was not at all more mature than him. Instead, he let the emperor think about these things.
Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes. In such a dark environment, the moonlight outside the house was dim, and the light from the remnant stars was not enough for him to see the appearance of the house clearly. At most, he could only see Jiao Shizhi's figure dimly.
He shook off Jiao Shizhi's hand in a cold voice just now, but regretted it immediately after the action.Jiao Shizhi's personality is introverted, and he never tells others what is on his mind. Zhu Houzhao naturally understands it after getting along for so many years.If the action just now didn't hurt him, with his temperament, he wouldn't be so eager to get out.
But now Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear to apologize. It's not that he couldn't do it, but letting this matter go on would only make it grow into a cancer between the two of them. Zhu Houzhao would definitely not allow this to happen.
Even if it was dripping with blood, he must dig it out!
"Shizhi, let me ask you, is there anything wrong with what I said just now?" Zhu Houzhao took a few steps forward, and after staying in the dark for a long time, his vision became clearer. With a suitable body shape, even slight movements can be barely seen clearly.
Jiao Shizhi didn't turn around, he clenched his gums tightly, and after a while, he relaxed again, and said in a low voice, "Nothing."
The emperor's words indeed hit some crux.Xiao Minghua's unintentional words today and the emperor's angry questioning just now made Jiao Shizhi see this clearly in an instant - he was indeed trying to keep a distance unintentionally.
This is not an error.
Jiao Shizhi also knew this.
Just put it on your own body, it's always difficult to calm down.What's more, the emperor treats him sincerely. Although things in the world do not come with rewards, such dedication is so rare for Zhu Houzhao. Compared with the two, Jiao Shizhi has nothing to say.Even if the emperor is angry and demotes him far away, he thinks it should be done.
Hearing Jiao Shizhi's answer, Zhu Houzhao was keenly aware of the slight trembling in it, and he suppressed the inexplicable sense of guilt, "Shizhi, I don't think it's fair." He sighed softly, and then felt aggrieved Open your mouth.
Those soft words almost made Jiao Shizhi cry, wishing he could kneel down and ask Zhu Houzhao to punish him now.
It's just that if he really behaved like that, perhaps Zhu Houzhao would be even more angry. He suppressed the sourness in his heart, and Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips and said, "It's indeed my fault. If you punish me, it will make the emperor feel better. Please forgive me." Your Majesty, don't show mercy."
Jiao Shizhi stumbled and struggled to speak the whole sentence.
For him, it is extremely difficult to get rid of all the things that stick to his bones, and every short pause represents Jiao Shizhi's inner struggle.
But Zhu Houzhao's soft sigh just now shocked Jiao Shizhi too much. He was extremely disturbed. He wanted to turn his head to see the emperor's current appearance, but he was afraid that he would really see him crying. , I felt a hug behind me.
Strong and warm.
"Shizhi, are you really so ruthless to me? After all these years, in your heart, I am still a high-ranking master who controls your life and death? Even if you are a friend, can't you treat each other sincerely?" Zhu Houzhao said in Jiao Shizhi Whispering softly in the ear.The hot and humid breath condensed in Jiao Shizhi's ear, and then gradually spread out.
Jiao Shizhi only felt that his ears were burning, but because of his current posture, he didn't know how to reject Zhu Houzhao.He thought that the people behind him were sad, so he didn't dare to break free just like that.
"Your Majesty, I haven't thought about it that way. It's just that you are the Emperor after all. With such a distance, it's good for you and good for me. How do you know that I will never have my own selfishness in my life?" Jiao Shizhi spoke more and more fluently, and in the end he became very fluent and began to find his own train of thought.
The young emperor behind him naturally knew that his showing of weakness just slightly disrupted Jiao Shizhi's pace, and he could easily get it back in a blink of an eye.Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao just laughed softly, subconsciously tightened the arms that were crossed in front of Jiao Shizhi, and then said, "I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it's just such a simple reason, and I don't want to be moved by your so-called good for me. Appropriately, have you forgotten the promise I made when I gave you the letter? I don't want you to live in such a bondage. "Zhu Houzhao's whispers in Jiao Shizhi's ears seemed to have the magic power of temptation, and Jiao Shizhi was in a trance for a moment.
But after a while, Jiao Shizhi woke up suddenly, no, no.If he really has any wrong thoughts in his heart, he should hide them deeply in his heart.The emperor is the emperor, and there will be a better future in the future, but he is arguing with him halfway, what's the point?How should future generations comment on him?Could it be that Jiao Shizhi still wants to watch the emperor step back into the footsteps of history? !
Seeing the person in front of him start to struggle, Zhu Houzhao knew that the plan of persuasion had failed, he shrugged helplessly in his heart, and he used more force with his hands to completely suppress the possibility of Jiao Shizhi's escape.
In fact, he had already noticed the little bit of awkwardness hidden in Jiao Shizhi's behavior early on.
Earlier, before Emperor Hongzhi left, when Zhu Houzhao was still the prince.
Jiao Shizhi has been by Zhu Houzhao's side for so many years, he knows Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao also knows him.
For Zhu Houzhao, Jiao Shizhi has become like a sibling, and separation is unbearable.
But Jiao Shizhi is not, or, he did not show this at all.
Jiao Shizhi is loyal and enthusiastic to him. No matter when and where, if he encounters danger, Jiao Shizhi will definitely be the first person to stand in front of him. Zhu Houzhao never doubts this.
But there is no more, just stop here.
Zhu Houzhao, who realized this, was naturally unwilling. Why did he have no reservations about Jiao Shizhi, but Jiao Shizhi kept a distance from him!This kind of unwillingness made the secret flames in his heart grow wildly, and then Liu Jin's erotic pictures completely opened up a new world for Zhu Houzhao.
That little flame finally broke through the ice.
Zhu Houzhao knows that there are such people, and he also knows what it means in the eyes of the world, but he has never paid attention to this.He didn't even have a concubine by his side, let alone other men.
But when he looked at the slightly tattered erotic book, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think of Jiao Shizhi, his appearance, his smile, and his figure Even in his imagination, Jiao Shizhi still looks like Usually he was calm and indifferent, but Zhu Houzhao still put the whole erotic pictures in limbo and burned them completely as if he had been scalded.
Things are gone, but traces still remain in my heart.
Zhu Houzhao always thinks of Jiao Shizhi inadvertently, it was like this before, and it is even more so now.But that kind of imagination is no longer the kind of longing that he thought he was a friend before, but more of a cautious and distracted envy.
What he said to Emperor Hongzhi back then was not true or false.
Jiao Shizhi didn't know how much effort he had spent to barely maintain the calm surface before.Zhu Houzhao has always been a person who does whatever he wants, and someone will take the initiative to bring what he wants without opening his mouth. For him, if Jiao Shizhi's position in his heart is not too important, why should he be so cautious, for fear of letting Jiao Shizhi Noticing something was wrong.
But when he noticed that Jiao Shizhi was also carefully maintaining that faint, almost invisible distance, Zhu Houzhao's heart erupted in ecstasy at the first moment, and he walked around the house frantically, unable to control himself. Zhu Di laughed loudly, almost scaring everyone around him out of their wits.
Jiao Shi is restrained and cautious, keeping a distance from each other is what should be done.But he faintly felt that Shi Zhi was becoming more and more attractive.It was such a faint abnormality that immediately made Zhu Houzhao ecstatic.If Jiao Shizhi didn't have ghosts in his heart, then it can only be said that he might have the same mood as Zhu Houzhao vaguely!
This conjecture can be said to have been made out of thin air, but Zhu Houzhao believed it for some reason!
He refrained from doing anything, just because he was afraid of scaring Jiao Shizhi away. Although most people in the world don't care about Nanfeng, it is against the mainstream after all.I never thought that the matter of the south wind could replace the principle of yin and yang intercourse, but even so, if Jiao Shizhi really had the same mood, Zhu Houzhao would never let go.
Jiao Shizhi's heroic posture when he danced the sword, his elegant look when he was reading, his appearance when he chuckled, his frown when he was worried...
He was full of anxiety.
The people behind him were too tough to move, Jiao Shizhi took a few deep breaths, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, please let me go."
"Do you think it's possible?" Zhu Houzhao said with a light smile.
It looked as if the negotiations had broken down.
The two are intelligent by nature, just now they played charades for a long time, how can they still not know what the other is thinking?Jiao Shizhi just couldn't believe that the emperor would really talk to him about this matter.He once thought that this should be the tacit understanding between the two, and even if he knew about this secret relationship, he should let it go, and when he looked back at the frivolous time a hundred years later, he would sigh softly as a child.
However, he did forget that this is Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Majesty, I'm not moving, can you let go?" It's really uncomfortable to be so restrained, Jiao Shizhi wants to turn around and talk to Zhu Houzhao, but this position is obviously not acceptable.
The young man behind him seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, Jiao Shizhi could feel the strength in his body relax a little. Hold him in your arms.
Jiao Shizhi:
There was a powerful heartbeat in his ear, which made his heartbeat seem to be in sync with it.Jump up at the same time, and fall at the same time.
"What is the emperor doing?" Jiao Shizhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.He tried to move his arm, but found that he was even more immobile than before.
"Your reputation is not very good this time. What if you turn around and leave? Do you want me to search for you all over the palace in the middle of the night? It's not like we haven't hugged each other before, so don't be so panicked." After speaking, he still gently stroked Jiao Shizhi behind his back, which was considered comforting.
Jiao Shizhi shook his head helplessly, but found that with his action just now, his hair brushed against the chin of the person in front of him unconsciously, more like acting like a baby in the arms of the emperor, which made him stop in shock.
There was a wanton smile on Zhu Houzhao's face that couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, but the words in his mouth were very soft, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
The initiative is completely in the hands of the emperor, and Jiao Shizhi feels a little bit being dragged away, but the most important thing right now is not this, he sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Your Majesty, before you point it out, I am indeed It’s because I didn’t realize my actions. I also didn’t know that I had caused harm to the emperor, this is my fault.”
Even today's Zhu Houzhao and the former Emperor Hongzhi couldn't do things at will all their lives, and they were burdened with more things, but it didn't mean they wouldn't get hurt.The emperor is also a human being, and will be hurt by those close to him.Jiao Shizhi's words seem ordinary, but they are the most rare expressions.
Zhu Houzhao snorted softly, lowered his head and rubbed lightly on Jiao Shizhi's fair neck, and said in a low voice, "You do this every time, taking all the responsibilities on yourself, as if this can lighten the burden on your heart So-so. But it is precisely because of this that it makes people itch even more."
"What I said to you on weekdays, telling you not to be polite, telling you to live a more relaxed life, now seems to be of no use at all. If every indulgence represents such a result, I might as well do it myself in the future."
"It's appropriate, don't give me such a chance."
The young man softly leaned on his shoulder and said, the soft words drifted into his ears, causing Jiao Shizhi to tremble. Under the seemingly calm atmosphere was the frantic aura of the young man, which made his scalp tingle.
"Your Majesty" Jiao Shizhi paused after uttering these two words, and then said again after a while: "Your Majesty, even though you said so, it is your own responsibility as a subject to share the emperor's worries, and you must not shirk it for your subject." .”
Zhu Houzhao:
He wanted to knock the head of this incomprehensible person right now, he really didn't know what was inside!Is the point of what he said just now that he is shirking responsibility for him? !
Zhu Houzhao was discouraged, and simply hugged people tighter, just like he sometimes likes to hug the quilt when he is unconscious, for fear that if he doesn't pay attention, he will quietly run away, "I don't care, if Shizhi doesn't want to follow my train of thought , we'll spend it here."
"Your Majesty, the morning court this morning," Jiao Shizhi said hastily.
"Hehe." Zhu Houzhao sneered, and then remained silent.
Jiao Shizhi raised his forehead, if the people behind him became self-willed, they could turn the whole court upside down, if they couldn't be appeased, what would happen this morning was almost predictable.
"Your majesty, I agree with what you said. But you should be clear that you are the emperor and I am just a courtier. Such a relationship should not exist. This is not good for you or me. I also hope that the emperor will respect you Be careful with your words and deeds, and don't hurt yourself." Jiao Shizhi finally touched on this secret topic.
Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at the faintly lit light outside the window. It was the first ray of sunlight in the morning, faintly projected on the window screen, lighting up the room that was still dark just now.He looked down at the person in his arms again, under his handsome face, he looked upright, if not for the redness of his ears, and the slight worry between his brows, he could hardly see the expression of anxiety. Emotions.
Zhu Houzhao kept talking in his ear on purpose, but usually Jiao Shizhi would always avoid it, so he was always too late to see the scene behind, and never knew the effect was so gorgeous.
It made him even more eager to move.
Emperor Zhengde couldn't help letting go of his arms, and lightly touched the delicate-looking auricles. As soon as he touched them, Jiao Shizhi trembled all over, and he immediately dodged to avoid them.Zhu Houzhao didn't have time to hold him, and let him slip away from his arms for a while, and it wasn't until then that the two looked at each other face to face.
Jiao Shizhi saw the red thread in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and the aura of rejection that was all over his body just now gradually softened.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiao Shizhi quietly, and said softly, "What if I don't agree?"
Jiao Shizhi was speechless.
"Of course I know your worries. You and I are still young, and we don't know what will happen in the future. With your temperament, you don't dare to gamble, and you won't gamble on such things that will endanger your reputation. But you won't , I will." Zhu Houzhao continued on his own, all the while looking at Jiao Shizhi seriously.
"I'm really not a good person. Even if I don't want to, I still want to gamble."
Even if Jiao Shizhi didn't want to, he still didn't want to let go.
—— "Let's take a bet, do I have the good luck like my father?"
After leaving these words, Zhu Houzhao stepped forward a few steps to Jiao Shizhi, raised a willful smile, his handsome face was full of radiance, and he was not disturbed by the atmosphere just now.
"This matter has been exposed, it is still early, let's go for a horse race."
This topic changed suddenly, and they each had important matters after half an hour.Zhu Houzhao needed to go to the court, and Jiao Shizhi also needed to go to Jinyiwei to report, but at this moment Zhu Houzhao seemed not aware of it, pulling Jiao Shizhi's wrist forcefully, and actually went straight to the martial arts field, and ran wantonly one by one.
The horse is galloping, the wind is whispering in the ear, and the scenery on both sides is constantly flashing behind him, but Jiao Shizhi only has one person in his eyes at this time, the young man in black running in front of him. Regardless of other people's eyes, even at this moment, the horse was still in front, Wenshuang was like a black lightning, neighing freely in the wind, speeding up again and again.
Jiao Shizhi seemed to hear something fall to the ground and quietly shattered.
He doesn't know what it is, but he is very clear that no matter what the future holds, he will always follow the young emperor.Even if history really played a huge joke on him, it will never stop.
When they came back, both of them were sweating, even though it was July, the capital was still hot, and they had done some strenuous exercise, so they were naturally covered in sweat.Gao Feng found out that the two had gone to the martial arts training ground, so he asked people to boil water early. Seeing that they finally came back, he hurriedly sent someone to bring over the prepared hot water, and at the same time urgently ordered the imperial dining room to hurry up for breakfast. meal.
Gao Feng is no better than Liu Jin, he still has a certain awe of the morning court in his heart, seeing that it is only a quarter of an hour before leaving the court, he walks around anxiously outside.If Mr. Liu Ge directly barged in later, he wouldn't be able to hold back!
Fortunately, after Jiao Shizhi wiped himself out, Zhu Houzhao came out not long after.It's just a little wiping, and it doesn't take long.Zhu Houzhao glanced at the full breakfast, picked out two easy-to-eat foods and handed them to Jiao Shizhi, "What do you do with so much food? Is it possible that I am a pig? Tell me to go on, except At the Compassionate Ning Palace, the number of people in the palace is reduced by half."
Gao Feng quickly responded.
There is no one in the main position in the palace, only the two masters.But Zhu Houzhao also suddenly thought of raising his mouth, not deliberately.He glanced at Jiao Shizhi quietly, and was saddened to find that his face had returned to normal.When he was pulled out of the house by him in the early morning, the ignorant and stunned appearance really made him fascinated.
Although the matter has not been resolved, the opening has been torn open and the expected goal has been achieved. Zhu Houzhao expressed satisfaction.
That's right, although Zhu Houzhao did not wake up early last night on purpose, the showdown with Jiao Shizhi was premeditated!It just happened to be a good time yesterday, so Zhu Houzhao would not let it go.
Jiao Shizhi didn't know what the people beside him were talking about. He seemed to have returned to normal on the surface, but in fact, he still couldn't react to what happened just now.He felt the emperor's ease, he just thought that he had discovered this matter before, and his heart had been suffering and depressed all the time, how could he have thought of so much.
When the two hurriedly separated, one went to Fengtianmen and the other left the palace, Jiao Shizhi's chaotic head regained consciousness.
Regardless of whether the emperor had made a sudden move yesterday or planned it earlier, it is obvious that he is already dissatisfied with the way he got along with him before.Jiao Shizhi could refuse, but Zhu Houzhao was not Emperor Hongzhi. With his character, Jiao Shizhi knew what would happen without even thinking about it.
He wobbled on the jujube and sighed tiredly, what the hell is this?
A day ago, he was leisurely and leisurely, but it was only a night, but his heart was full of melancholy.Just like Layman Yi An euphemistically said: I am afraid that the boats in Shuangxi will not be able to carry them, and there will be many worries.If it is really difficult to solve the melancholy, even a dragon boat may not be able to carry it.
When the emperor came to court today, he was in a very good mood.
Even when the ministers quarreled and turned upside down at Fengtianmen, he was always smiling, and even when the officials reprimanded Liu Jin and others, Zhu Houzhao only restrained his smile a little, and he still said "it's easy to say, easy to say." "The appearance almost made the cultural relics officials in the court think that they had returned to the previous dynasty.
The ministers who were familiar with the emperor's character were not happy but worried, thinking sadly, according to the practice in the past year, if the emperor was happy about something, they were always not very happy.And if the emperor becomes stubborn, they will definitely conflict.Although the custom of admonishment in the Ming Dynasty is very good, it doesn't mean that they are not tired after tossing all the time!
Anyway, in the former dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi would put on a good face even if he didn't accept the suggestion, and he said a few words of persuasion in a good voice and kindly.If it fell on the current emperor, let alone persuasion, it would be a great thing not to abandon the stall and quit.
Xie Qian tentatively asked in the midst of the court meeting, "The emperor is in a good mood today, did something happen?" Zhu Houzhao was used to seeing his father and the ministers making daily routines, but he was also used to it, and said with a smile: " That’s right, something good happened today.”
Xie Qian saw that the emperor was lazily sitting on the throne like a big cat that had been patted down, showing a contented smile in every move.Immediately, he thought of going to an indescribable place, which made him bow his head in shock.
Tsk, it's not a good thing to have a rich imagination, but according to the news in the palace, it seems that the emperor is still a chicken? ?
Naturally, Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Xie Qian was slandering him so much, and when the matter of going up was over, he waved his hands and planned to go down, but just as he stood up, he seemed to think of something, and looked down at the officials who were about to kneel to see him off, and nodded casually. People, "Liu Aiqing, Xie Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing and six ministers, come to the Wenhua Palace in two hours, and have something to discuss."
After finishing speaking, the emperor left leisurely, leaving only the courtiers who looked at each other in blank dismay. This was the first time that the emperor took the initiative to convene a discussion in the Wenhua Palace, which really surprised them.
After going to court, Mu Bin went all the way back to the Jinyiwei mansion, and when he saw a familiar face, he narrowed his eyes.He slowed down and walked quietly to the man.Xiao Minghua, who went out to meet him and walked behind him, took a closer look. Wasn't that handsome young man standing by the window in a daze with his hands behind his back just Jiao Shizhi?
He has always been cautious and restrained, Xiao Minghua has never seen him so dumbfounded, and even the Commander has not reacted when he walked in front of him, and he suddenly felt amused.
"Jiao Shizhi?" Mu Bin folded his hands and raised his eyebrows, calling his name.
Jiao Shizhi's eyes moved slightly, and he came back to his senses after a while, seeing the commander standing half a step in front of him, he immediately took a step back in fright, "Why didn't you know when your lord came back? "The meaning right now is why you came here quietly to scare people!
Mou Bin sneered, and looked Jiao Shizhi up and down, "How long have I been standing in front of you, don't you know?" Jiao Shizhi's suspicious gaze fell on Xiao Minghua, who nodded at him. He was indeed in a daze for a long time.
Jiao Shizhi stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, his mood was a little unstable, so he didn't notice the wide eyes of the two people in front of him because of his rare and indecent behavior, "I'm sorry, my lord, maybe I didn't sleep well last night. , I'm not in a good spirit today."
Mou Bin saw the faint black marks in Jiao Shizhi's eyes just now, but he didn't say anything, and asked the question he wanted to ask him just now, "Did something happen in the palace this morning?"
Jiao Shizhi was inexplicably guilty, he seemed to think seriously for a moment, then shook his head, "It's normal in the palace today."
Mou Bin curled his lips, "It seems that the emperor doesn't trust you very much, and he doesn't even know about such things." Both Xiao Minghua and Jiao Shizhi knew that Mou Bin's mouth was poisonous, so they didn't pay attention to what he said casually, but Xiao Minghua was curious. He asked, "Did something happen this morning?"
The emperor’s travels in the palace required the guards of the big Han generals, and there were countless guards around him. Most of them were members of Jinyiwei. People tell fast.
Mou Bin glanced at Xiao Minghua, rubbed his chin and said in doubt: "Today is probably the first time that the emperor came to the court happily, and the memorials for attacking today are only a lot more than in the past, and the emperor is actually happy when he is leaving He looks like a dick, and even recruited a few important ministers to say that he was going to the Wenhua Palace to discuss politics, which is obviously not normal!"
The tone of exclamation at the end represented Mou Bin's mood. As the senior officials of Jinyiwei, the most important thing for them was intelligence investigation. Now they can't guess the emperor's mind, and they don't know what happened to the emperor. This heart is always itchy.However, it can also be seen from it that Emperor Zhengde's casualness has reached the point where even the ministers who are loyal to him can't help complaining occasionally.
Jiao Shizhi was listening to Mou Bin's exclamation, what happened in the early morning of last night suddenly flashed in his heart, he felt restless again, and quietly retreated.
What is the emperor thinking?
Jiao Shizhi actually didn't know about the south wind.He was vaguely aware of the emotion in his heart, it was that time when he ran thousands of miles back to the capital.The panic in the dream spread to reality. Before meeting Zhu Houzhao, Jiao Shizhi couldn't relax at all.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things in the world. Don’t you see that even the few ministers who complemented Emperor Hongzhi are only slightly sad. Even if he is worried about the prince, it is impossible to be so panicked.Otherwise, he would not be able to rush back to the capital no matter what, and his weak explanation could not cover up anything at all.If it was a suspicious person, I am afraid that he has already begun to suspect him.
Just because he noticed this little secret thought, Jiao Shizhi worried for a long time, and then quietly suppressed it.
The emperor is the emperor, and he is the subject. He wants to see Emperor Zhengde soaring above the nine heavens with his own eyes, and he is stubbornly fighting against the so-called history. Naturally, he does not want to see himself become one of the bad things in the history books, which makes the emperor reputation worsened.
Like is a matter of one person, love is a matter of two people.
Jiao Shizhi would not, nor would he allow himself to take that step.
It's just that he didn't expect that the emperor had such thoughts.He had to admit that the moment he knew about it, a corner of his heart secretly rejoiced shamefully for a moment, and then it was quietly covered up again.
After all, the emperor is still too young, human emotions are the most precious and also the most changeable.What Zhu Houzhao said was right, he really didn't dare to gamble.
Thinking of this, Jiao Shizhi's head was in a mess of thoughts, and finally he had to stop, and his eyes fell on the flowers in the courtyard.Many flowers and plants were planted in the courtyard, and several colorful butterflies landed quietly on the petals, as if attracted by the dark fragrance, but one of them chose the most inconspicuous one among the many flowers and plants, Sniffing the fragrance quietly.
In the ear are Zhu Houzhao's firm words in the early morning.
"I want to gamble to see if I have the good luck like my father."
How could it be the same?
He was watching the scenery in the courtyard, and the people in the room were watching him in the courtyard.Mou Bin pondered for a moment, then called Xiao Minghua over, "During this time, you should keep an eye on him and let him go." Although he always called Jiao Shizhi by his name directly in front of him, he mentioned Jiao Shizhi to others in private. Every now and then, they are quietly calling his name.
Xiao Minghua has long been used to Mu Bin's awkward personality.
However, his sudden order still made him a little puzzled. He followed Mou Bin's line of sight and landed in the courtyard. The tall and straight young man was standing under the tree, and some mottled light fell on him, as if he was smudged with a faint light. , looks even more beautiful.
Commander, what does this mean?
"My lord doubts him," Xiao Minghua whispered.
Mou Bin shook his head, his eyes flashed in thought, and he seemed puzzled, "No, maybe the emperor's strangeness today has something to do with Ren Zhi, you can just check it out, don't disturb him." After all, Jiao Shizhi is also a commander, Although the foundation is not as deep as Xiao Minghua's, it is convenient for Xiao Minghua to investigate, but it is also easy for Jiao Shizhi to find out.
Although Xiao Minghua didn't quite understand what Mu Bin meant, he nodded quietly.Commanders always act after planning.He wanted to check Ren Zhi, maybe he also saw something that he couldn't see?
Gao Feng didn't even look at Le Hua, and stood at the door frowning, listening carefully to the movement in the room, but the sound insulation of this room has always been good, once the door is closed, nothing can be heard.Could it be that something really happened? Gao Feng was a little worried, as there had never been such a thing between the emperor and Jiao Shizhi.
In the dark room, the two stood at each other without saying a word.
In the darkness, Jiao Shizhi was standing by the door. If Zhu Houzhao hadn't stopped him with a word just now, he would have crossed the threshold and left now.If he continued to stay here, Jiao Shizhi didn't know what to say. After he reflected on himself just now, he felt ashamed to stay here again. Although his starting point was not what the emperor said, his words and deeds It is really embarrassing to reveal such a meaning.
It was in vain that he was older than the emperor for several years, but he was not at all more mature than him. Instead, he let the emperor think about these things.
Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes. In such a dark environment, the moonlight outside the house was dim, and the light from the remnant stars was not enough for him to see the appearance of the house clearly. At most, he could only see Jiao Shizhi's figure dimly.
He shook off Jiao Shizhi's hand in a cold voice just now, but regretted it immediately after the action.Jiao Shizhi's personality is introverted, and he never tells others what is on his mind. Zhu Houzhao naturally understands it after getting along for so many years.If the action just now didn't hurt him, with his temperament, he wouldn't be so eager to get out.
But now Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear to apologize. It's not that he couldn't do it, but letting this matter go on would only make it grow into a cancer between the two of them. Zhu Houzhao would definitely not allow this to happen.
Even if it was dripping with blood, he must dig it out!
"Shizhi, let me ask you, is there anything wrong with what I said just now?" Zhu Houzhao took a few steps forward, and after staying in the dark for a long time, his vision became clearer. With a suitable body shape, even slight movements can be barely seen clearly.
Jiao Shizhi didn't turn around, he clenched his gums tightly, and after a while, he relaxed again, and said in a low voice, "Nothing."
The emperor's words indeed hit some crux.Xiao Minghua's unintentional words today and the emperor's angry questioning just now made Jiao Shizhi see this clearly in an instant - he was indeed trying to keep a distance unintentionally.
This is not an error.
Jiao Shizhi also knew this.
Just put it on your own body, it's always difficult to calm down.What's more, the emperor treats him sincerely. Although things in the world do not come with rewards, such dedication is so rare for Zhu Houzhao. Compared with the two, Jiao Shizhi has nothing to say.Even if the emperor is angry and demotes him far away, he thinks it should be done.
Hearing Jiao Shizhi's answer, Zhu Houzhao was keenly aware of the slight trembling in it, and he suppressed the inexplicable sense of guilt, "Shizhi, I don't think it's fair." He sighed softly, and then felt aggrieved Open your mouth.
Those soft words almost made Jiao Shizhi cry, wishing he could kneel down and ask Zhu Houzhao to punish him now.
It's just that if he really behaved like that, perhaps Zhu Houzhao would be even more angry. He suppressed the sourness in his heart, and Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips and said, "It's indeed my fault. If you punish me, it will make the emperor feel better. Please forgive me." Your Majesty, don't show mercy."
Jiao Shizhi stumbled and struggled to speak the whole sentence.
For him, it is extremely difficult to get rid of all the things that stick to his bones, and every short pause represents Jiao Shizhi's inner struggle.
But Zhu Houzhao's soft sigh just now shocked Jiao Shizhi too much. He was extremely disturbed. He wanted to turn his head to see the emperor's current appearance, but he was afraid that he would really see him crying. , I felt a hug behind me.
Strong and warm.
"Shizhi, are you really so ruthless to me? After all these years, in your heart, I am still a high-ranking master who controls your life and death? Even if you are a friend, can't you treat each other sincerely?" Zhu Houzhao said in Jiao Shizhi Whispering softly in the ear.The hot and humid breath condensed in Jiao Shizhi's ear, and then gradually spread out.
Jiao Shizhi only felt that his ears were burning, but because of his current posture, he didn't know how to reject Zhu Houzhao.He thought that the people behind him were sad, so he didn't dare to break free just like that.
"Your Majesty, I haven't thought about it that way. It's just that you are the Emperor after all. With such a distance, it's good for you and good for me. How do you know that I will never have my own selfishness in my life?" Jiao Shizhi spoke more and more fluently, and in the end he became very fluent and began to find his own train of thought.
The young emperor behind him naturally knew that his showing of weakness just slightly disrupted Jiao Shizhi's pace, and he could easily get it back in a blink of an eye.Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao just laughed softly, subconsciously tightened the arms that were crossed in front of Jiao Shizhi, and then said, "I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it's just such a simple reason, and I don't want to be moved by your so-called good for me. Appropriately, have you forgotten the promise I made when I gave you the letter? I don't want you to live in such a bondage. "Zhu Houzhao's whispers in Jiao Shizhi's ears seemed to have the magic power of temptation, and Jiao Shizhi was in a trance for a moment.
But after a while, Jiao Shizhi woke up suddenly, no, no.If he really has any wrong thoughts in his heart, he should hide them deeply in his heart.The emperor is the emperor, and there will be a better future in the future, but he is arguing with him halfway, what's the point?How should future generations comment on him?Could it be that Jiao Shizhi still wants to watch the emperor step back into the footsteps of history? !
Seeing the person in front of him start to struggle, Zhu Houzhao knew that the plan of persuasion had failed, he shrugged helplessly in his heart, and he used more force with his hands to completely suppress the possibility of Jiao Shizhi's escape.
In fact, he had already noticed the little bit of awkwardness hidden in Jiao Shizhi's behavior early on.
Earlier, before Emperor Hongzhi left, when Zhu Houzhao was still the prince.
Jiao Shizhi has been by Zhu Houzhao's side for so many years, he knows Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao also knows him.
For Zhu Houzhao, Jiao Shizhi has become like a sibling, and separation is unbearable.
But Jiao Shizhi is not, or, he did not show this at all.
Jiao Shizhi is loyal and enthusiastic to him. No matter when and where, if he encounters danger, Jiao Shizhi will definitely be the first person to stand in front of him. Zhu Houzhao never doubts this.
But there is no more, just stop here.
Zhu Houzhao, who realized this, was naturally unwilling. Why did he have no reservations about Jiao Shizhi, but Jiao Shizhi kept a distance from him!This kind of unwillingness made the secret flames in his heart grow wildly, and then Liu Jin's erotic pictures completely opened up a new world for Zhu Houzhao.
That little flame finally broke through the ice.
Zhu Houzhao knows that there are such people, and he also knows what it means in the eyes of the world, but he has never paid attention to this.He didn't even have a concubine by his side, let alone other men.
But when he looked at the slightly tattered erotic book, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think of Jiao Shizhi, his appearance, his smile, and his figure Even in his imagination, Jiao Shizhi still looks like Usually he was calm and indifferent, but Zhu Houzhao still put the whole erotic pictures in limbo and burned them completely as if he had been scalded.
Things are gone, but traces still remain in my heart.
Zhu Houzhao always thinks of Jiao Shizhi inadvertently, it was like this before, and it is even more so now.But that kind of imagination is no longer the kind of longing that he thought he was a friend before, but more of a cautious and distracted envy.
What he said to Emperor Hongzhi back then was not true or false.
Jiao Shizhi didn't know how much effort he had spent to barely maintain the calm surface before.Zhu Houzhao has always been a person who does whatever he wants, and someone will take the initiative to bring what he wants without opening his mouth. For him, if Jiao Shizhi's position in his heart is not too important, why should he be so cautious, for fear of letting Jiao Shizhi Noticing something was wrong.
But when he noticed that Jiao Shizhi was also carefully maintaining that faint, almost invisible distance, Zhu Houzhao's heart erupted in ecstasy at the first moment, and he walked around the house frantically, unable to control himself. Zhu Di laughed loudly, almost scaring everyone around him out of their wits.
Jiao Shi is restrained and cautious, keeping a distance from each other is what should be done.But he faintly felt that Shi Zhi was becoming more and more attractive.It was such a faint abnormality that immediately made Zhu Houzhao ecstatic.If Jiao Shizhi didn't have ghosts in his heart, then it can only be said that he might have the same mood as Zhu Houzhao vaguely!
This conjecture can be said to have been made out of thin air, but Zhu Houzhao believed it for some reason!
He refrained from doing anything, just because he was afraid of scaring Jiao Shizhi away. Although most people in the world don't care about Nanfeng, it is against the mainstream after all.I never thought that the matter of the south wind could replace the principle of yin and yang intercourse, but even so, if Jiao Shizhi really had the same mood, Zhu Houzhao would never let go.
Jiao Shizhi's heroic posture when he danced the sword, his elegant look when he was reading, his appearance when he chuckled, his frown when he was worried...
He was full of anxiety.
The people behind him were too tough to move, Jiao Shizhi took a few deep breaths, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, please let me go."
"Do you think it's possible?" Zhu Houzhao said with a light smile.
It looked as if the negotiations had broken down.
The two are intelligent by nature, just now they played charades for a long time, how can they still not know what the other is thinking?Jiao Shizhi just couldn't believe that the emperor would really talk to him about this matter.He once thought that this should be the tacit understanding between the two, and even if he knew about this secret relationship, he should let it go, and when he looked back at the frivolous time a hundred years later, he would sigh softly as a child.
However, he did forget that this is Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Majesty, I'm not moving, can you let go?" It's really uncomfortable to be so restrained, Jiao Shizhi wants to turn around and talk to Zhu Houzhao, but this position is obviously not acceptable.
The young man behind him seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, Jiao Shizhi could feel the strength in his body relax a little. Hold him in your arms.
Jiao Shizhi:
There was a powerful heartbeat in his ear, which made his heartbeat seem to be in sync with it.Jump up at the same time, and fall at the same time.
"What is the emperor doing?" Jiao Shizhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.He tried to move his arm, but found that he was even more immobile than before.
"Your reputation is not very good this time. What if you turn around and leave? Do you want me to search for you all over the palace in the middle of the night? It's not like we haven't hugged each other before, so don't be so panicked." After speaking, he still gently stroked Jiao Shizhi behind his back, which was considered comforting.
Jiao Shizhi shook his head helplessly, but found that with his action just now, his hair brushed against the chin of the person in front of him unconsciously, more like acting like a baby in the arms of the emperor, which made him stop in shock.
There was a wanton smile on Zhu Houzhao's face that couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, but the words in his mouth were very soft, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
The initiative is completely in the hands of the emperor, and Jiao Shizhi feels a little bit being dragged away, but the most important thing right now is not this, he sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Your Majesty, before you point it out, I am indeed It’s because I didn’t realize my actions. I also didn’t know that I had caused harm to the emperor, this is my fault.”
Even today's Zhu Houzhao and the former Emperor Hongzhi couldn't do things at will all their lives, and they were burdened with more things, but it didn't mean they wouldn't get hurt.The emperor is also a human being, and will be hurt by those close to him.Jiao Shizhi's words seem ordinary, but they are the most rare expressions.
Zhu Houzhao snorted softly, lowered his head and rubbed lightly on Jiao Shizhi's fair neck, and said in a low voice, "You do this every time, taking all the responsibilities on yourself, as if this can lighten the burden on your heart So-so. But it is precisely because of this that it makes people itch even more."
"What I said to you on weekdays, telling you not to be polite, telling you to live a more relaxed life, now seems to be of no use at all. If every indulgence represents such a result, I might as well do it myself in the future."
"It's appropriate, don't give me such a chance."
The young man softly leaned on his shoulder and said, the soft words drifted into his ears, causing Jiao Shizhi to tremble. Under the seemingly calm atmosphere was the frantic aura of the young man, which made his scalp tingle.
"Your Majesty" Jiao Shizhi paused after uttering these two words, and then said again after a while: "Your Majesty, even though you said so, it is your own responsibility as a subject to share the emperor's worries, and you must not shirk it for your subject." .”
Zhu Houzhao:
He wanted to knock the head of this incomprehensible person right now, he really didn't know what was inside!Is the point of what he said just now that he is shirking responsibility for him? !
Zhu Houzhao was discouraged, and simply hugged people tighter, just like he sometimes likes to hug the quilt when he is unconscious, for fear that if he doesn't pay attention, he will quietly run away, "I don't care, if Shizhi doesn't want to follow my train of thought , we'll spend it here."
"Your Majesty, the morning court this morning," Jiao Shizhi said hastily.
"Hehe." Zhu Houzhao sneered, and then remained silent.
Jiao Shizhi raised his forehead, if the people behind him became self-willed, they could turn the whole court upside down, if they couldn't be appeased, what would happen this morning was almost predictable.
"Your majesty, I agree with what you said. But you should be clear that you are the emperor and I am just a courtier. Such a relationship should not exist. This is not good for you or me. I also hope that the emperor will respect you Be careful with your words and deeds, and don't hurt yourself." Jiao Shizhi finally touched on this secret topic.
Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at the faintly lit light outside the window. It was the first ray of sunlight in the morning, faintly projected on the window screen, lighting up the room that was still dark just now.He looked down at the person in his arms again, under his handsome face, he looked upright, if not for the redness of his ears, and the slight worry between his brows, he could hardly see the expression of anxiety. Emotions.
Zhu Houzhao kept talking in his ear on purpose, but usually Jiao Shizhi would always avoid it, so he was always too late to see the scene behind, and never knew the effect was so gorgeous.
It made him even more eager to move.
Emperor Zhengde couldn't help letting go of his arms, and lightly touched the delicate-looking auricles. As soon as he touched them, Jiao Shizhi trembled all over, and he immediately dodged to avoid them.Zhu Houzhao didn't have time to hold him, and let him slip away from his arms for a while, and it wasn't until then that the two looked at each other face to face.
Jiao Shizhi saw the red thread in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and the aura of rejection that was all over his body just now gradually softened.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiao Shizhi quietly, and said softly, "What if I don't agree?"
Jiao Shizhi was speechless.
"Of course I know your worries. You and I are still young, and we don't know what will happen in the future. With your temperament, you don't dare to gamble, and you won't gamble on such things that will endanger your reputation. But you won't , I will." Zhu Houzhao continued on his own, all the while looking at Jiao Shizhi seriously.
"I'm really not a good person. Even if I don't want to, I still want to gamble."
Even if Jiao Shizhi didn't want to, he still didn't want to let go.
—— "Let's take a bet, do I have the good luck like my father?"
After leaving these words, Zhu Houzhao stepped forward a few steps to Jiao Shizhi, raised a willful smile, his handsome face was full of radiance, and he was not disturbed by the atmosphere just now.
"This matter has been exposed, it is still early, let's go for a horse race."
This topic changed suddenly, and they each had important matters after half an hour.Zhu Houzhao needed to go to the court, and Jiao Shizhi also needed to go to Jinyiwei to report, but at this moment Zhu Houzhao seemed not aware of it, pulling Jiao Shizhi's wrist forcefully, and actually went straight to the martial arts field, and ran wantonly one by one.
The horse is galloping, the wind is whispering in the ear, and the scenery on both sides is constantly flashing behind him, but Jiao Shizhi only has one person in his eyes at this time, the young man in black running in front of him. Regardless of other people's eyes, even at this moment, the horse was still in front, Wenshuang was like a black lightning, neighing freely in the wind, speeding up again and again.
Jiao Shizhi seemed to hear something fall to the ground and quietly shattered.
He doesn't know what it is, but he is very clear that no matter what the future holds, he will always follow the young emperor.Even if history really played a huge joke on him, it will never stop.
When they came back, both of them were sweating, even though it was July, the capital was still hot, and they had done some strenuous exercise, so they were naturally covered in sweat.Gao Feng found out that the two had gone to the martial arts training ground, so he asked people to boil water early. Seeing that they finally came back, he hurriedly sent someone to bring over the prepared hot water, and at the same time urgently ordered the imperial dining room to hurry up for breakfast. meal.
Gao Feng is no better than Liu Jin, he still has a certain awe of the morning court in his heart, seeing that it is only a quarter of an hour before leaving the court, he walks around anxiously outside.If Mr. Liu Ge directly barged in later, he wouldn't be able to hold back!
Fortunately, after Jiao Shizhi wiped himself out, Zhu Houzhao came out not long after.It's just a little wiping, and it doesn't take long.Zhu Houzhao glanced at the full breakfast, picked out two easy-to-eat foods and handed them to Jiao Shizhi, "What do you do with so much food? Is it possible that I am a pig? Tell me to go on, except At the Compassionate Ning Palace, the number of people in the palace is reduced by half."
Gao Feng quickly responded.
There is no one in the main position in the palace, only the two masters.But Zhu Houzhao also suddenly thought of raising his mouth, not deliberately.He glanced at Jiao Shizhi quietly, and was saddened to find that his face had returned to normal.When he was pulled out of the house by him in the early morning, the ignorant and stunned appearance really made him fascinated.
Although the matter has not been resolved, the opening has been torn open and the expected goal has been achieved. Zhu Houzhao expressed satisfaction.
That's right, although Zhu Houzhao did not wake up early last night on purpose, the showdown with Jiao Shizhi was premeditated!It just happened to be a good time yesterday, so Zhu Houzhao would not let it go.
Jiao Shizhi didn't know what the people beside him were talking about. He seemed to have returned to normal on the surface, but in fact, he still couldn't react to what happened just now.He felt the emperor's ease, he just thought that he had discovered this matter before, and his heart had been suffering and depressed all the time, how could he have thought of so much.
When the two hurriedly separated, one went to Fengtianmen and the other left the palace, Jiao Shizhi's chaotic head regained consciousness.
Regardless of whether the emperor had made a sudden move yesterday or planned it earlier, it is obvious that he is already dissatisfied with the way he got along with him before.Jiao Shizhi could refuse, but Zhu Houzhao was not Emperor Hongzhi. With his character, Jiao Shizhi knew what would happen without even thinking about it.
He wobbled on the jujube and sighed tiredly, what the hell is this?
A day ago, he was leisurely and leisurely, but it was only a night, but his heart was full of melancholy.Just like Layman Yi An euphemistically said: I am afraid that the boats in Shuangxi will not be able to carry them, and there will be many worries.If it is really difficult to solve the melancholy, even a dragon boat may not be able to carry it.
When the emperor came to court today, he was in a very good mood.
Even when the ministers quarreled and turned upside down at Fengtianmen, he was always smiling, and even when the officials reprimanded Liu Jin and others, Zhu Houzhao only restrained his smile a little, and he still said "it's easy to say, easy to say." "The appearance almost made the cultural relics officials in the court think that they had returned to the previous dynasty.
The ministers who were familiar with the emperor's character were not happy but worried, thinking sadly, according to the practice in the past year, if the emperor was happy about something, they were always not very happy.And if the emperor becomes stubborn, they will definitely conflict.Although the custom of admonishment in the Ming Dynasty is very good, it doesn't mean that they are not tired after tossing all the time!
Anyway, in the former dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi would put on a good face even if he didn't accept the suggestion, and he said a few words of persuasion in a good voice and kindly.If it fell on the current emperor, let alone persuasion, it would be a great thing not to abandon the stall and quit.
Xie Qian tentatively asked in the midst of the court meeting, "The emperor is in a good mood today, did something happen?" Zhu Houzhao was used to seeing his father and the ministers making daily routines, but he was also used to it, and said with a smile: " That’s right, something good happened today.”
Xie Qian saw that the emperor was lazily sitting on the throne like a big cat that had been patted down, showing a contented smile in every move.Immediately, he thought of going to an indescribable place, which made him bow his head in shock.
Tsk, it's not a good thing to have a rich imagination, but according to the news in the palace, it seems that the emperor is still a chicken? ?
Naturally, Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Xie Qian was slandering him so much, and when the matter of going up was over, he waved his hands and planned to go down, but just as he stood up, he seemed to think of something, and looked down at the officials who were about to kneel to see him off, and nodded casually. People, "Liu Aiqing, Xie Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing and six ministers, come to the Wenhua Palace in two hours, and have something to discuss."
After finishing speaking, the emperor left leisurely, leaving only the courtiers who looked at each other in blank dismay. This was the first time that the emperor took the initiative to convene a discussion in the Wenhua Palace, which really surprised them.
After going to court, Mu Bin went all the way back to the Jinyiwei mansion, and when he saw a familiar face, he narrowed his eyes.He slowed down and walked quietly to the man.Xiao Minghua, who went out to meet him and walked behind him, took a closer look. Wasn't that handsome young man standing by the window in a daze with his hands behind his back just Jiao Shizhi?
He has always been cautious and restrained, Xiao Minghua has never seen him so dumbfounded, and even the Commander has not reacted when he walked in front of him, and he suddenly felt amused.
"Jiao Shizhi?" Mu Bin folded his hands and raised his eyebrows, calling his name.
Jiao Shizhi's eyes moved slightly, and he came back to his senses after a while, seeing the commander standing half a step in front of him, he immediately took a step back in fright, "Why didn't you know when your lord came back? "The meaning right now is why you came here quietly to scare people!
Mou Bin sneered, and looked Jiao Shizhi up and down, "How long have I been standing in front of you, don't you know?" Jiao Shizhi's suspicious gaze fell on Xiao Minghua, who nodded at him. He was indeed in a daze for a long time.
Jiao Shizhi stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, his mood was a little unstable, so he didn't notice the wide eyes of the two people in front of him because of his rare and indecent behavior, "I'm sorry, my lord, maybe I didn't sleep well last night. , I'm not in a good spirit today."
Mou Bin saw the faint black marks in Jiao Shizhi's eyes just now, but he didn't say anything, and asked the question he wanted to ask him just now, "Did something happen in the palace this morning?"
Jiao Shizhi was inexplicably guilty, he seemed to think seriously for a moment, then shook his head, "It's normal in the palace today."
Mou Bin curled his lips, "It seems that the emperor doesn't trust you very much, and he doesn't even know about such things." Both Xiao Minghua and Jiao Shizhi knew that Mou Bin's mouth was poisonous, so they didn't pay attention to what he said casually, but Xiao Minghua was curious. He asked, "Did something happen this morning?"
The emperor’s travels in the palace required the guards of the big Han generals, and there were countless guards around him. Most of them were members of Jinyiwei. People tell fast.
Mou Bin glanced at Xiao Minghua, rubbed his chin and said in doubt: "Today is probably the first time that the emperor came to the court happily, and the memorials for attacking today are only a lot more than in the past, and the emperor is actually happy when he is leaving He looks like a dick, and even recruited a few important ministers to say that he was going to the Wenhua Palace to discuss politics, which is obviously not normal!"
The tone of exclamation at the end represented Mou Bin's mood. As the senior officials of Jinyiwei, the most important thing for them was intelligence investigation. Now they can't guess the emperor's mind, and they don't know what happened to the emperor. This heart is always itchy.However, it can also be seen from it that Emperor Zhengde's casualness has reached the point where even the ministers who are loyal to him can't help complaining occasionally.
Jiao Shizhi was listening to Mou Bin's exclamation, what happened in the early morning of last night suddenly flashed in his heart, he felt restless again, and quietly retreated.
What is the emperor thinking?
Jiao Shizhi actually didn't know about the south wind.He was vaguely aware of the emotion in his heart, it was that time when he ran thousands of miles back to the capital.The panic in the dream spread to reality. Before meeting Zhu Houzhao, Jiao Shizhi couldn't relax at all.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things in the world. Don’t you see that even the few ministers who complemented Emperor Hongzhi are only slightly sad. Even if he is worried about the prince, it is impossible to be so panicked.Otherwise, he would not be able to rush back to the capital no matter what, and his weak explanation could not cover up anything at all.If it was a suspicious person, I am afraid that he has already begun to suspect him.
Just because he noticed this little secret thought, Jiao Shizhi worried for a long time, and then quietly suppressed it.
The emperor is the emperor, and he is the subject. He wants to see Emperor Zhengde soaring above the nine heavens with his own eyes, and he is stubbornly fighting against the so-called history. Naturally, he does not want to see himself become one of the bad things in the history books, which makes the emperor reputation worsened.
Like is a matter of one person, love is a matter of two people.
Jiao Shizhi would not, nor would he allow himself to take that step.
It's just that he didn't expect that the emperor had such thoughts.He had to admit that the moment he knew about it, a corner of his heart secretly rejoiced shamefully for a moment, and then it was quietly covered up again.
After all, the emperor is still too young, human emotions are the most precious and also the most changeable.What Zhu Houzhao said was right, he really didn't dare to gamble.
Thinking of this, Jiao Shizhi's head was in a mess of thoughts, and finally he had to stop, and his eyes fell on the flowers in the courtyard.Many flowers and plants were planted in the courtyard, and several colorful butterflies landed quietly on the petals, as if attracted by the dark fragrance, but one of them chose the most inconspicuous one among the many flowers and plants, Sniffing the fragrance quietly.
In the ear are Zhu Houzhao's firm words in the early morning.
"I want to gamble to see if I have the good luck like my father."
How could it be the same?
He was watching the scenery in the courtyard, and the people in the room were watching him in the courtyard.Mou Bin pondered for a moment, then called Xiao Minghua over, "During this time, you should keep an eye on him and let him go." Although he always called Jiao Shizhi by his name directly in front of him, he mentioned Jiao Shizhi to others in private. Every now and then, they are quietly calling his name.
Xiao Minghua has long been used to Mu Bin's awkward personality.
However, his sudden order still made him a little puzzled. He followed Mou Bin's line of sight and landed in the courtyard. The tall and straight young man was standing under the tree, and some mottled light fell on him, as if he was smudged with a faint light. , looks even more beautiful.
Commander, what does this mean?
"My lord doubts him," Xiao Minghua whispered.
Mou Bin shook his head, his eyes flashed in thought, and he seemed puzzled, "No, maybe the emperor's strangeness today has something to do with Ren Zhi, you can just check it out, don't disturb him." After all, Jiao Shizhi is also a commander, Although the foundation is not as deep as Xiao Minghua's, it is convenient for Xiao Minghua to investigate, but it is also easy for Jiao Shizhi to find out.
Although Xiao Minghua didn't quite understand what Mu Bin meant, he nodded quietly.Commanders always act after planning.He wanted to check Ren Zhi, maybe he also saw something that he couldn't see?
