[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Xue Ji paused, then sighed and said: "If you rest in peace and think less, you can still live for a few years. If it is still like this, I'm afraid..." Xue Ji couldn't say the rest, after all, the Emperor Dragon The body matter is not something he can talk about alone.

Zhu Houzhao clenched the handle of the knife tightly, but his face was calm and unwavering.This is how these people treat themselves, this is how they treat their father. Fortunately, they treat them like elders, and this is how they repay themselves and their father.Zhu Houzhao stood here for a while, Mrs. Zhang had already received the news and brought the two younger ones to see Zhu Youtang.

Zhu Houwei, who was terrified, saw his brother's body was covered with mottled blood, and he was just scared when he saw him, and he didn't dare to go forward.Zhu Houzhao squeezed out a smile, clasped his fists to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Father still hopes that my mother will take care of her, and wait for me to kill those old thieves." Mrs. Zhang saw her son's eyebrows full of evil spirits, and held his hand worriedly, Comfortingly said: "They deserve to die, but you are an innocent person, just arrest them and hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, why bother to dirty your hands."

"My son knows." Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhu Houzhao's red eyes, touched his head on tiptoe, and said, "Don't worry too much about them. Now that your father is still lying on the bed, I can only count on you. You are still thinking about the big and small ones here, go and take care of yourself."

The loving mother looked forward to it eagerly, and Zhu Houzhao smiled knowingly: "Mother, don't worry, I have my own measure." Even the little wormwood came up to grab Zhu Houzhao's clothes, Zhu Houzhao lowered his head, and the wormwood kissed Zhu Houzhao's face Going up, she said shyly: "Mother said that elder brother is the hardest, he has to take care of daddy, and also catches bad guys. But Ai Cao doesn't want brother to catch bad guys. My brother is covered in blood, and Ai Cao is very afraid."

With just these few words, Zhu Houzhao finally calmed down the hostility that had just filled his heart. He kissed the wormwood lightly, and then kissed Zhu Houwei again. Zhu Houzhao said, "Go and see Daddy." easily left.

After leaving the palace, Zhu Houzhao went straight to the Beijing camp, where Ma Wensheng should be in charge now.Among the 5000 regiments of the Beijing camp, Zhu Hui only mobilized three regiments he trusted, while the others were kept secret and kept in the camp.Among them, more than [-] people who went to intercept Zhu Houzhao had already been killed by Zhu Houzhao's sword, and Du Ruo's gun.

Now Du Ruo and Gao Feng are leading people to search everywhere, although the gate of the city has been closed, there is no guarantee that someone will fish in troubled waters and escape.Zhu Houzhao is going to call the trustworthy people in the Beijing camp now, lest someone will take advantage of the chaos after a rebellion has just been quelled, and it will not be beautiful at that time.

Although this disaster caused huge losses, it also allowed Zhu Houzhao to see the true colors of many people. Zhu Houzhao was able to carry out a cleansing of the officialdom more conveniently.

On the Wanshou Festival in the 17th year of Hongzhi, the entire capital city has never been truly peaceful.Starting from the rebellion of King Zhu Huishen on the second day of the lunar new year, Prince Zhu Houzhao personally led people to search for the rebel suspects on the second day.The officials and gentlemen who used to be high above the top are now prisoners of their ranks.Those ladies were dragged to official brothels and dental shops to be sold like livestock.The floor of the vegetable market could not be cleaned for three days and three nights.

This is Zhu Houzhao's extra favor. He still remembers what Zhu Youtang whispered to himself: "They are rebellious, but Daming can't do without them now. You should kill those culprits, but remember, an emperor must learn to endure. Xiao If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess, and now some people can't be killed." This is another lesson that Zhu Houzhao learned, which is obviously more tragic than the previous lesson, and it also changed Zhu Houzhao's changes more profoundly.

Zhu Youtang has not been able to get up these days, and can only stay awake for two or three hours when he is in good spirits, and sleeps there at other times.Even so, you can't worry about it, unless it is a major event that Zhu Houzhao is very uncertain, all other matters can only be handled by Zhu Houzhao alone.

Fortunately, Zhu Youtang's family is more at ease with Du Ruo, and Du Ruo has been assisting Zhu Houzhao in handling government affairs for the past few days.Others can't say anything else even if they are envious.Who told the prince to be saved by him?Who said that traitors are dealt with by others.Who said that he was not the godson of the emperor, and he was not trusted by the emperor.

According to Zhu Houzhao's attitude towards Du Ruo and Du Ruo's achievements, one Duke may not be enough.Now everyone has changed the name of the little grandpa to Du Ruo Taibao.The future can be expected, a county king is indispensable.Du Ruo is now 14 years old, and Xu Sui is 15 years old. When he reaches the age to marry, Du Ruo is now a lump of fragrant and fat in the aristocratic circle of the capital. covet him.

But now this piece of fat is eating with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has been famous these days.Although Zhu Houzhao is in charge of governing and supervising the country, all eating habits are still as frugal as before. It is just a few small stir-fries, a few dishes of cold dishes and two soups.

"Tomorrow Zhu Hui's order to punish the three clans will be issued. Today Liu Jian's letter to punish the nine clans should be dismissed. You can write about Pihong later." In the incident, the "contributions" of the eunuchs were not small.With such a big move by Zhu Hui, Dongchang and Jinyiwei collectively silenced, which made Zhu Houzhao, who didn't have much trust in them before, even less trust eunuchs.

Of the six eunuchs in charge of the Supervisor of Rituals, there are now only two left. One is because he has been out of power and really does not know about this matter, and the other is Jiang Cong, who was collectively concealed by his apprentices.The eunuch doesn't matter if he doesn't talk about it, but he is just a small character, and he has never been in Zhu Houzhao's eyes.Although Jiang Cong did not participate in this matter, the actions of his godsons and apprentices completely blocked his official career. The meaning of his existence now is to serve Zhu Youtang well.If Zhu Youtang is good, he is good, if Zhu Youtang is not good, he is not good.

This is the first time that there has been a power vacuum in the Supervisor of Ceremonies.The situation is still unclear now, whether Zhu Youtang can be a director is still a matter of opinion, Zhu Houzhao is not in a hurry to fill up the ceremonial supervisor, and it is better for these eunuchs to know their duties.Let them taste what it feels like to have no power first, so that they can know who they are.Now Zhu Houzhao relies on Du Ruo and Liu Jian to do things. Although it will inevitably be harder, it is still passable overall.

As for Gao Feng and Liu Jin, they were sent by Zhu Houzhao to clean up Jinyiwei and Dongchang, which had been silent in this incident.Zhu Houzhao didn't want them to enter the Lijian and take power.Zhu Houzhao, the huge interest group behind Gao Feng, is not blind but can still see.However, Liu Jin's personality and Zhu Houzhao's deep-rooted impression of the Eight Tigers of Zhengde really worried him so that he could be admitted to the Supervisor of Rites and promoted step by step.

Besides, Zhu Youtang is still lying down now. Although he said everything is up to him, he still has to take into account Zhu Youtang's feelings and reputation among his courtiers.It would not have a good reputation for my son to be busy seizing power before his death.

"How is Luo Zhijian now?" Although Luo Zhijian mentioned the poison/drug effect of oleander to Zhu Hui, Du Ruo was able to act in time thanks to him.The merits and demerits are equal, but Zhu Houzhao can't cure him of his crime.Now he is still imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, testifying for Zhu Hui's case.

Du Ruo stopped his chopsticks when he was full, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "He will be released when the imperial edict is issued tomorrow. I have already arranged that the merchants in Quanzhou will send him back to Portugal, and he will never come to Ming Dynasty again. "Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped.Luo Zhijian did not poison, but Zhu Youtang was poisoned because of him.Zhu Houzhao didn't want to see him anymore because he couldn't be sentenced to death, so he simply sent him back to his country and never saw him again.

From Quanzhou to Portugal, Du Ruo asked Luo Zhijian to do the dirtiest and tiring work, which was not so pleasant.This can be regarded as a mass of resentment to Zhu Houzhao.

Seeing that Du Ruo had put down his chopsticks, Zhu Houzhao also put down his chopsticks, but Liu Wei wiped his mouth with the handkerchief handed over. "Although he was the one who noticed something wrong and told you that you could save daddy and me, but I still can't forgive him." He would never forgive any of these people.Zhu Hou took care of his hands, because his rosy hands were now pale and feeble due to overwork, and the wound on the tiger's mouth was still there from the excessive force a few days ago. These reminded him that none of these people can be spared, and one must be spared. This made them die in pieces.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao staring blankly at his hands, Du Ruo knew that Zhu Houzhao was in a daze again. "Azhao, don't fall into it. These mistakes are all made by them, because it's not worth it for them to make themselves uncomfortable." This sentence was to the point, and it hit Zhu Houzhao's heart.Even though he looks fine on the surface, his heart is always buried in blood and hatred. He always warns himself not to think like this, but he really can't control himself.

"Du Xiaowu, do you think I'm going crazy, I can't control myself, I always want to kill them, I can't wait to eat their flesh alive." Zhu Hou looked at his hand and murmured.It was these hands that personally drew the red batches and beheaded those people.Zhu Houzhao took a sneak peek. Inside, a little girl was only as big as wormwood, and she just died like that. The head rolled on the ground did not close her eyes until she died.He could only keep hinting to himself that they deserved to die, they deserved to die.

Taking Zhu Houzhao's hand, Du Ruo looked into his eyes and said to him seriously: "It's not your fault, Ah Zhao. Everyone should be responsible for the choices they make." Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was still avoiding his gaze, Du Ruo Facing him directly. "Azhao, you did nothing wrong, so you don't have to blame yourself like this. You must adjust, this is not modern, your subordinates still control so many lives, do you have to suffer like this every time?"

Zhu Houzhao understands every reason, but knowing and being able to do it are not the same thing. "But I still can't bear it." As a modern person, even if he lives in a difficult environment, it is difficult to understand and understand the fear and sorrow of the ancient people.

"It's okay, I will always be with you." Du Ruo knew that there was no rush for this matter, so she held his hand tightly and gave him her own comfort.
