[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Chapter 10 The 8th Year of Hongzhi

After Zhu Houzhao bid farewell to Du Ruo, he returned to Kunning Palace reluctantly.As soon as he entered Kunning Palace, Zhu Youtang yelled, "Kneel down." Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that he shivered.He comes from modern times, and his family advocates democracy and freedom, and no parents have ever asked their children to kneel down.In the Ming Dynasty, he was favored since he was a child. Except for sacrifices and major celebrations, no one asked him to kneel like this. He didn't know what happened and just stood there in the doorway.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Youtang was so angry that he wanted to hit him with a cup.Mrs. Zhang felt sorry for her son, and hurriedly snatched the cup from his hand to persuade him: "Azhao is still so young, but he likes to play a little bit, why is your majesty so serious?"

Seeing his wife's defense, Zhu Youtang said angrily: "He is a prince, and his words and deeds are related to the country. Today he can ignore the palace rules, but tomorrow he will disrespect the imperial court and bring chaos to the world. Today I will teach him a lesson."

Only then did Zhu Houzhao realize that it was today's matter with Du Ruo. He gritted his teeth and knelt down to plead guilty: "Father, I know my mistake. I will never dare again next time."

Mrs. Zhang also persuaded: "Zhao'er has always been smart and obedient, today I just met a friend of the same age, and my heart is too happy. He is still young, why are you so demanding on him?"

Seeing that Zhu Youtang had calmed down a little, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "I saw my brother today. I saw that he is about the same age as me, but he has no parents. I have my parents to love me, but he has nothing to rely on. That's why I want to put my own Things to share with my brother."

Zhu Houzhao directly poked Zhu Youtang's itchy spot. What Zhu Youtang feared most was that he would die soon.Now after hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, not only did the anger disappear in my heart, but another feeling suddenly appeared in my heart.

"You have been quiet and prudent since you were young, and I am very assured of you. So whether you make a fuss about studying or learning martial arts, I will not stop you. But you have become more naughty recently, and today you are even ignoring the palace rules. How can you let me not?" Qi.” Zhu Youtang sighed and stood up and helped Zhu Houzhao up. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao’s tears were about to fall, he gently stroked his head, “You are the eldest brother, and you are the prince. You should set an example. It is."

Zhu Houzhao naturally knew Zhu Youtang's ardent expectations for him. Although he didn't agree with Zhu Youtang's view of raising the child into a little old man, he had to bow his head and admit his mistake, "Daddy, my son was wrong, my son was just happy today Head, don’t dare to do it again next time.”

Seeing that Zhu Youtang was no longer angry, Mrs. Zhang also pretended to scold Zhu Houzhao: "I have learned a lesson today, will I dare to do it next time? If you are naughty again, watch your father break your leg." The implication is, This is what happened today.

Seeing his wife keep winking at his elder son, Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let you off today, you third mother is really my debt from my previous life. You won't do this again next time." After thinking for a while, he said: " Your elder brother of the Du family is still in filial piety, so don't bother him all the time, it's okay to communicate with him on a daily basis. You should also comfort him a lot and don't make him too sad."

Zhu Houzhao smiled mischievously, and promised: "I like my brother very much, and I will definitely get along with him well."

Early the next morning, Mr. Jiang came to visit.The old man's originally gray hair was only a little bit of gray, and his aging face was even more gray.Seeing Du Ruo who had lost a lot of weight and was dressed in plain clothes, the old man couldn't hold back his tears.

Du Ruo also shed tears when he was hooked.For a while, the two grandfathers and grandchildren looked at each other and cried, which was heartbreaking.Du Lin hurriedly persuaded: "Grandfather Jiang, please express your condolences. The young master is still young, and he needs to take care of him."

After hearing this, Mr. Jiang quickly wiped away his tears, and said with a forced smile, "It's my fault, which makes everyone unhappy."

"Grandpa don't need to be sad, my mother's spirit in the sky definitely hopes you are well." Du Ruo also wiped away tears and comforted grandpa.

"Grandpa knows that it is not easy for you to start a family by yourself at such a young age. If you have anything to do, you must tell grandpa. Grandpa is getting old, and now white-haired people send black-haired people. You are your mother's only flesh and blood, and the only grandson of my Zhang Bingyan I, Jiang Bingyan, will be the first to say no to anyone who wants to make trouble with you." Jiang Bingyan only had this caring daughter, and now that his daughter died young, leaving only his grandson alone, how could he not be sad.

"My grandson knows it. The Tatars are the most hateful, and I have to avenge the killing of my father and my mother. When I grow up, I will definitely kill all these thieves." When Du Ruo was studying history, he felt that history was nothing more than "becoming King, defeated as a bandit" six characters.But when he was really placed in history, he understood the ruthlessness of history and the cruelty of war.He has treated the Du family and his wife as his parents.How could he not hate the Tatars who killed his parents?

"Niezi, are the Tatars so weak and deceitful? Now that your mother has only one son left, are you going to die as well?" In Jiang Bingyan's view, if Du Yide hadn't overestimated his capabilities, his daughter How can it be misfortune?Now even his only grandson is going to die like his father?

Du Ruo was not annoyed when he saw Jiang Bingyan like this, his grandfather had always been like this, so there was nothing surprising about it.Du Ruo didn't argue with him, and changed the subject: "Now I'm still in Xiaozhong, and it's not cheap to go out on weekdays. I want to hire a teacher to teach at home. I'm going to ask Grandpa to pay more attention to this matter."

"Little Treasure has grown up in a blink of an eye. I think you were still a baby when you were still a baby." Du Ruo has a vulgar nickname: Xiao Treasure.Every time he heard it, it gave him chills.Jiang Bingyan thought about it carefully, and said: "It's a coincidence that there is a ready-made candidate. There is a Juren surnamed Bai, who was the son of the C Division in the 22nd year of Chenghua Emperor Xianzong. The Jinshi examination failed many times. Now I am looking for an errand, waiting for the next Qiu Wei. As a Marquis and the emperor's adopted son, you will not disgrace him. No matter how talented he is, he is more than enough to teach you. It's not a good time for you two to be cheap."

Although Jiang Bingyan has a weak temper, he is still reliable in his work, and he really likes his grandson.Du Ruo felt appropriate after listening to the words, "Everything is up to Grandpa."

The two chatted some gossips, and Du Ruo asked Jiang Bingyan about the formalities of the mansion.His family has only made a fortune since his father, and no one in the family has experienced any major incidents.Now it's filial piety again, and the emperor has accepted him as a foster son. I don't know what to pay attention to, but I have to ask an old man like Jiang Bingyan for advice.

Jiang Bingyan told Du Lin about the important things in detail, and then went around in a circle, ordering corrections for those that were not in compliance with the rules.After lunch, Jiang Bingyan asked again and again worriedly before getting up and going home.

After seeing Jiang Bingyan off, Du Ruo was alone in the study in a daze.He is a history buff. Although he is not very familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, he is much better than Zhu Houzhao, who is blind to history.Now that Zhu Houzhao is the crown prince, maybe he will be the emperor in the future. Where is the way out for the relationship between him and Zhu Houzhao?

He who has already lost everything doesn't want to lose it again, but in this life he and Zhu Houzhao's identities are very different, what should he do?After all the calculations, the only thing that knows modern scientific knowledge is still a relatively thick golden finger.Just where should he start?

If Du Ruo has time to be in a daze, Zhu Houzhao does not have such treatment.He is now staring at the legendary treacherous official Liu (of course he is still a little eunuch).

"What's wrong with being a slave? Your Highness the Crown Prince looks at me like this." Liu Jin is a fine person. He has already found out that Zhu Houzhao doesn't like submissive people, so he naturally made a generous gesture and let Zhu Houzhao look at him.He tried his best to please Li Guang, who was next to the emperor, and came to the prince. What he got was nothing more than a meritorious service, but he didn't know that Zhu Houzhao already knew his details, and no matter how he behaved, Zhu Houzhao could not trust him.

"You are Liu Jin?" Zhu Hou took care of the person in front of him. He had an ordinary appearance and an ordinary voice, which was exactly the same as others. Is this the treacherous official Liu Jin?

"The slave is Liu Jin." Seeing the prince like this, Liu Jin was puzzled. "I don't know what questions your Highness has."

"You were recommended by Eunuch Li?"

"Exactly." Zhu Houzhao stared straight at Liu Jin with big black eyes, making Liu Jin feel uncomfortable all over.Liu Jin thought to himself that someone chewed the root of his tongue in front of the prince, but he had no entanglements with the people in the East Palace, so it shouldn't be.

"Who are you? How did you get into the palace?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin in front of him, full of desire to gossip.This person in front of him is a historical celebrity, even more famous than Liu Jian, Li Guang and others. Don't be too happy to watch living historical celebrities.It's just that the stupid Zhu Xiaoshou doesn't even think about it, he is the most famous, okay?

"Nu Nai is from Xingping County, Shaanxi Province. His original surname was Tan. When he entered the palace with his adoptive father Liu Shun when he was six years old, he changed his surname to Liu." Liu Jin couldn't figure out what Zhu Houzhao was thinking, and he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell his life experience one by one. .

Zhu Houzhao was not surprised when he heard it, and he had seen enough, so he handed him over to Gao Feng who was standing beside him, "I still need someone to take care of stubborn things, so you can go there."

Liu Jin didn't want to eat a fat man all at once, and was very satisfied with the arrangement, so she followed Gao Feng and retreated after bowing down and thanking her.

After a while, Gao Feng arranged for Liu Jin to return and stood quietly aside.

"Is he still satisfied?" Zhu Houzhao wrote quickly with a pen. As he got older, his arm strength gradually grew, and his handwriting evolved from a caterpillar to an average level, successfully fooling everyone around him.

"Liu Jin naturally has no dissatisfaction. It is his blessing to be able to serve His Highness." Gao Feng relied on her own talent to get her current status, and now she is the most favored person around the prince. Mo, people who only know flattery and flattery naturally don't like it at all.

Zhu Houzhao naturally heard the ridicule in Gao Feng's words, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about him, just ask a few more people to coax him well. He has been by Li Guang's side for many years, and he must know a lot about Li Guang. Ask someone to ask this palace."

Gao Feng heard this, and only sneered at Liu Jin in his heart, "It's already arranged, Ma San and Wang Yu are all good at drinking and playing cards, within three days, Liu Jin will definitely be turned upside down."
