[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

The author has something to say: ~~~~(_)~~~~, the chapter name of the previous chapter was typed wrong, it really was too careless.

After the restless Mid-Autumn Festival in the 17th year of Hongzhi, the capital is about to welcome its new master.Emperor Hongzhi, who had been in power for 17 years, was injured by poison/medicine and could only rest and settle down. After half a month of thinking, Zhu Youtang decided to abdicate and pass the throne to Prince Zhu Houzhao.

This decision was made after Zhu Youtang's careful consideration.In his opinion, apart from being too idealistic, Zhu Houzhao, who is only 13 years old, is already very capable of being a qualified monarch.This time Zhu Hui's rebellion dealt him a blow that made him grow up quickly, making him look like a real prince, not a capable minister.Now Zhu Youtang can finally hand over the country to Zhu Houzhao with confidence.

When Zhu Houzhao heard about this, he felt incredible.In his opinion, even though Zhu Youtang was ill and was diagnosed by Xue Ji as not having much life expectancy, he was still the indomitable Emperor Hongzhi and a qualified father in Zhu Houzhao's eyes.Now that Zhu Youtang voluntarily abdicates, it means that Zhu Youtang voluntarily said that he can't do it, so how can Zhu Houzhao accept it.

Different from those princes who are intriguing and their ministers are bigger than their sons, Zhu Houzhao was really brought up by Zhu Youtang.The relationship between them is much deeper than that of ordinary father and son.Of course, Zhu Youtang would not understand Zhu Houzhao's sincerity as retreating to advance. He knew that this child really couldn't accept this fact.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's stubborn eyes, Zhu Youtang remembered the scene when Zhu Houzhao was just born.His health has always been poor, and the child he gave birth to is thin and weak. Zhu Houzhao didn't like to cry since he was a child.The imperial doctors all thought that he came out because he was too weak, and said that he might not be able to support him.As long as he didn't believe it, he took care of him personally, and saw him grow up day by day, and his body gradually became stronger.

Zhu Houzhao was especially precocious when he was a child.Everyone thought this incident was very strange, and it was passed around that it turned out that the prince was born as a monster, otherwise, how could he have come to this point so early.But Zhu Youtang just didn't believe it, such an evildoer could look so cute, his heart almost melted when he laughed.He even believed that this was God's compensation for his miserable childhood and Zhu Houzhao's thin body.

After a few times of severe rectification, such rumors in the palace really fell silent.Later, Zhu Youtang publicized the news of Zhu Houzhao's happy birthday, and everyone slowly regarded Zhu Houzhao's early wisdom as a born emperor, not a monster.Now that skinny little kid was about to grow into a real man, bright and decisive, with a natural ability to think of ideas that others couldn't.He will be a good emperor, Zhu Youtang believes in Zhu Houzhao, and also believes in his own choice.

Zhu Houzhao was persuaded in the end, Zhu Youtang's body really did not allow him to work hard on the throne.And if Zhu Houzhao doesn't become the emperor, he really can't deter these ghosts and monsters.Really helpless, Zhu Houzhao agreed to succeed him as the emperor, but the year name is still Hongzhi, and will not be changed for the time being, to show respect.

Zhu Houzhao, who currently lives in Ciqing Palace, will be moved from Ciqing Palace to Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Youtang will be moved from Qianqing Palace to Weiyang Palace.Empress Dowager Zhang also moved from Kunning Palace to Weiyang Palace to take care of Zhu Youtang personally.And Ai Cao, who was promoted from Princess Taikang to the eldest princess, still lives in the side hall of Kunning Palace, and when she is older, she goes out to live in the princess mansion.Because of Zhu Houzhao's unspeakable thoughts, Zhu Houwei moved from Kunning Palace to Ciqing Palace, and he is moving out after the palace is completed.

Zhu Houwei was also named a virtuous king.This honorary title had never been granted to any prince before, and the whole court was shocked.Even Zhu Youtang objected, not everyone can afford a word of virtuousness.But Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say that he wanted to make Zhu Houwei a virtuous king. The reason was that he only had such a brother, so he should pay more attention to it.Zhu Youtang is happy that he loves his younger brother, but the ministers really can't help him.Only Du Ruo knew what Zhu Houzhao wanted to do, and he was moved and happy.

Zhu Youtang hadn't passed away yet, so there was no rush for the enthronement ceremony.Qin Tianjian simply set the date to the beginning of spring next year, so that there would be more time for preparation.After all, the powerful and powerful father-in-law in the palace is gone now. Although Zhu Hou followed strict orders and kept it simple, it is the enthronement ceremony of the emperor of a country, and there are really not so many people to handle it.Since it was still early for Li's enthronement ceremony, Zhu Houzhao temporarily settled down and dealt with government affairs.

Now this group of veterans has fallen a lot, some have been killed, some have been demoted, some have retired and returned to their hometowns, and many positions have been vacated.The huge imperial machinery of the Ming Dynasty needs to run, so there is no need for such a shortage of parts. Zhu Houzhao has been checking the files of officials, making sure that every position is filled by the most suitable person.

This big cleansing made people panic, but it scared away many monsters and monsters. Zhu Hou took care of the people they recommended, and most of them were very reliable.Even if there were a few who obviously relied on connections, Zhu Houzhao also dismissed as many as he could.Most of the people under Zhu Hou's care were also placed in satisfactory positions.

After the twelfth lunar month has been busy, Zhu Houzhao realized that the new year is coming.The smell of blood in the capital this year is too strong. The turmoil caused by the rebellion has not yet completely ended. There are too many people who are down and out because of doing wrong things and standing on the wrong team. Once they choose the wrong team, they will end up like this. Everyone thinks Teeth get cold.But this rare warm winter is worse than the usual cold years.And those who got promoted and made a fortune because of this incident have some thoughts in their hearts, some families are really happy and some are sad.

And Du Ruo had a good time this year.Zhu Houzhao is about to ascend the throne, and as a childhood playmate and reading companion, Du Ruo suddenly became very popular.Even Mrs. Zhang, who was worried about Zhu Youtang every day, began to pay attention to his marriage.There are quite a few princes and aristocrats in it, who value his real talents and practical work, and there are also noble families who want to marry their daughters to him.There is no hostess in Anguogong's mansion, and even Du Lin is no longer a director because of his age. Everyone has no choice but to send a post to Du Ruo to invite him to drink, and personally sigh at his tone.In the twelfth lunar month, Du Ruo's invitation cards almost filled up his entire desk.

Some are pushable and some are not.Even Liu Jian had Du Ruo's idea, and wanted to marry a daughter of a collateral lineage of his family to him, so that Du Ruo would take a detour when he saw him now.

But Zhu Houzhao joked sourly: "Look at you, you are not under the jurisdiction of your parents when you marry you, and you don't have to take care of the family. You can be a family of the Duke of Anguo's family for no reason. Which daughter is not willing to marry you, so that she can earn a living. Mrs. First Grade Duke." Du Ruo was sour when he heard these words, and joked back: "I have my eyes on someone, but I can't get high on this person, and I just don't know if he is willing to marry me. Be the first-class wife of our government." Especially the four words "first-class wife", which imitated Zhu Houzhao's sour appearance, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing.

"If you're going to find a Yipin lady, I'll go find a queen empress, I'll definitely piss you off." Hearing this, Du Ruo was not annoyed, and replied: "I thought we were sharing the same bed, but is it your empress? I don’t think you are a heartless person, you will abandon others.” Although Du Ruo has an infatuated attitude, but no matter how effeminate she is, Zhu Houzhao laughs so hard that her stomach hurts.

"I only hope that the king's heart is like mine, and I will live up to the love." There are so many love words in the world, Zhu Houzhao only loves Li Zhiyi's divination, and this sentence is the most in the song, expressing the expectation and trust in love Show it.Now that Zhu Houzhao said this sentence, Du Ruo no longer had the mood to be funny, and replied: "I made a thousand wishes before my pillow. If I want to rest, I will wait until the green hills die. The hammer floats on the water until the Yellow River dries up completely. Bai Sunshine and Chen appear, and the Big Dipper returns to the south. I can’t rest if I rest, and I will see the sun in the middle of the night.”

There are many old books from a long time ago in Zhu's father's bookcase. Although they are cheap editions in the 90s, they can be regarded as Zhu Houzhao's childhood memories.Later, when he grew up, Zhu's father's quiet study became the best place for Zhu Houzhao and the others to sneak around.Du Ruo has a deep memory of this poem, because Du Ruo accidentally stained the book during a game of errrrrrrrrrrrrr.But this "One Hundred Song Poems" is an old edition book from 84. It is Zhu's father's favorite, and Zhu Houzhao's poetry enlightenment started from this book.

After spending half a month in the second-hand book market, Du Ruocai secretly returned the book to prevent Father Zhu from finding out.And these two poems are exactly the two poems at the beginning of this book, and Du Ruo still remembers them clearly after so many years.

Such a love story, how could Zhu Houzhao not get drunk, so he was about to kiss Du Ruo, and then he heard Liu Jin coughing there, and then Zhang's voice: "Are you not feeling well? You are an old man, and you know the rules. If you are sick, you can’t serve the master here.”

Liu Jin quickly said that she understood.When Mrs. Zhang came in, Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo had already returned to the state of sharing a table with each other, but Du Ruo's face was obviously flushed.

"Xiao Ruo, look at this blushing face, but he is also sick? Why are there so many people who are sick these two days, and the weather hasn't changed?" After speaking, she wanted to touch Du Ruo's forehead with her hand, but Du Ruo quickly avoided it. "Godmother, I'm not sick, the main reason is that the fire is too hot and it's hot." He also desperately fanned it with memorials to prove that what he said was true.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked the people following to close the fire door of the stove, and then turned to talk to Zhu Houzhao.Du Ruojian finally passed the test, he exhaled lightly, and showed a comforting smile to Liu Jin who was winking at him.

Here, Mrs. Zhang found a stool by herself, and said to the two people: "It's no big deal to find you two today. It's just that many wives and wives from my place have come to come to matchmaking. I've been too busy recently, your parents I’m gone, and you’re a young man again, so I’m naturally embarrassed. Naturally, godfather and godmother should give you more information about these things. I just don’t know what kind of girl you like, and I’m not that old-fashioned. .Come and tell the godmother, the godmother will make the decision for you."

Now Du Ruo was embarrassed, and said in his heart: Godmother, I like your son, can you make the decision for me?

Seeing Zhu Houzhao sniggering there, Mrs. Zhang said to Zhu Houzhao, "Don't snicker either. You will be enthroned soon, and your marriage should be planned early. The queen's choice will be wider in the future. I can't choose for you." It’s just that you should think about it earlier.” This is good, even Zhu Houzhao can’t escape.
