[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Chapter 109 The 8th Year of Hongzhi

Zhu Hou took care of Du Ruo coming in, and said: "You finally know that you are here. You heard what you said just now. You can solve it yourself." Zhu Houzhao can't handle it by himself. Shi.

Du Ruo touched his nose, and resigned himself to his seat.Seeing a lot of memorials from the Liaodong region and obviously dusty files on his desk, Du Ruo probably knew what Zhu Houzhao was going to do. "That's why you called Li Jianwei and his father back." Du Ruo casually flipped through a thread-bound book. Because it had been placed for too long, the paper inside had turned a weird brownish yellow color, and the whole book was scattered. With an old atmosphere.

"I just found out that Liaodong has become a mess. Didn't you go to the Miscellaneous Bureau to see it last time? There is really no way to solve the problem of iron ore and coal mines. I had to take Liaodong's idea." After so many years The desulphurization and dephosphorization experiments in the mines have achieved little results. Zhu Houzhao's last patience has been exhausted, and now he can only bring his idea to Liaodong, which is rich in forestry resources.Trees are planted while cutting trees, hoping to respond to emergencies before the technology can make great progress.

Du Ruo knew this, the edict summoning Li Jianwei and the others to enter the palace was drafted by himself, but he didn't know that Li Jianwei and the others had arrived so early.The edict was sent in April, and logically there should be one or two months before they can enter Beijing until August. "Did you answer Gao Feng's return to daily life?" Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, and Gao Feng became the chief eunuch of the chief inspector of ceremonies.It's just that he, the great eunuch, is really aggrieved. Zhu Houzhao neither wants him to be popular, nor does he want him to serve him. Even Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been suppressed. Gao Feng is the eunuch with the least power over the years. .

"I rejected it. I don't want someone to follow me every day, and I have to record even a word." Zhu Houzhao felt that the emperor who invented such a thing as a daily life note must have a deep desire for the admiration of others, otherwise, how could he like this? plant something. "They will come to see them in a while. I'll go out for a while. You sort out the materials yourself and go to find your mother. It's not an option to keep hiding like this."

As soon as Du Ruo talked about Zhang's family, he became discouraged. No one hurts it like a grass, but someone hurts it, especially such a godmother. Du Ruo also wants to turn himself into a grass.I really hope that Mrs. Zhang completely forgets the fact that she is not married yet. Du Ruo really can't stand her urging her to get married in front of her every day.

After laying out the paper and reading a file, someone sent a message that the Tieling Guard Commander Li Ying brought his youngest son to see him.Zhu Houzhao waved the messenger back and went into the inner room to change clothes and changed his normal clothes.When I came out, I went to see Li Ying directly.Du Ruo wrote the materials there for a long time, and his hands were a little sore.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao hadn't come back, Du Ruo called Liu Jin over and asked, "Where's the Holy Master? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Liu Jin looked at the chiming clock on the wall and replied, "The Holy Majesty left Mr. Li and Young Master Li for dinner until noon. I just came back. The Holy Majesty ordered not to pass food to the Duke today."

It's done, this is forcing myself to find Mrs. Zhang.Du Ruo touched her deflated belly and obediently went to look for Mrs. Zhang.On the way, I happened to meet Zhu Houwei, a little fat man who went to school to eat in Weiyang Palace.Zhu Houwei was ordered by Zhu Houzhao to lose weight because he was too fat. He could only walk by himself for two days and could not be a soft-wife.Du Ruo watched him leave profusely, and sighed, "Your brother is really a housekeeper."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Houwei glanced at him contemptuously, and said, "Obviously you disappeared for several days to hide from your mother, and you still blame your brother for being the housekeeper. Be careful that your brother will not feed you after hearing it." It is just that he is not allowed to pass meals in the palace, which means that Du Ruo has to travel more than half of the capital to go home to eat.

As for bringing your own food, Zhu Houzhao said that as long as you don't use any heating tools, you can do whatever you want.After Du Ruo ate cold pancakes twice, he never dared to provoke Zhu Houzhao again.

When we arrived at Weiyang Palace, Mrs. Zhang had already taken care of the meals. It had been raining and hot for the past few days, so Mrs. Zhang ordered the kitchen to cook winter melon to remove moisture.Seeing that Du Ruo had also come, she asked the maid to add a pair of chopsticks for Du Ruo to sit down and eat.

Although Zhu Youtang can't eat the too heavy and greasy food that Zhang's and the others eat most of the time, he can still try the winter melon stew.So everyone sat together and ate together.After the food was removed, Mrs. Zhang sent the two younger ones to take a nap, while Du Ruo talked to Zhu Youtang outside.

Hearing that Zhu Houzhao summoned Li Ying and his son today, Zhu Youtang was not surprised. "Azhao has had an inexplicable curiosity about the ocean and Liaodong since he was a child. The benefits brought by the opening of the sea ban now prove that one of Azhao's ideas is true. Now he is finally going to move Liaodong. I don't know what achievements he will make. .”

Du Ruo helped Zhu Youtang to go around in circles to digest food, and when he heard Zhu Youtang say this, he continued, "I think it's very reliable. I heard that the land in Liaodong is very fertile, and the soil there is black because it is full of fertility. Yes, the place is also flat. It’s just that there are fewer people, and it’s too cold in winter.”

"You know how to speak for him. You two brothers are really better than real brothers. When I first came to the throne, it was your father who personally sent an envoy to Liaodong to talk about these commanders one by one to ensure that there is no war in the Northeast. Your father deserves great credit." Zhu Youtang sighed while supporting Du Ruo's hand.It's a pity that now that he and his children have grown up, he has been gone for many years, and he can't live on for a few years.

Du Ruo smiled and listened to Zhu Youtang's words, and the two of them turned back again. Du Ruo handed Zhu Youtang to Jiang Cong, and asked Jiang Cong to take Zhu Youtang to take a nap.Zhu Youtang asked him to wait for Mrs. Zhang there, and Du Ruo found a place to sit down, took out the morning book and continued to read.

When Mrs. Zhang came out, she saw this scene. A man in white casual clothes was reading a book under the window. The silhouette of his eyelashes was hit on the white paper. Occasionally, when the wind blew by, one or two strands of hair brushed across his face, lining up the whole picture. The face is even more white and full of movement.Just looking at him so quietly, it is difficult to connect him with the blood-stained white-robed young general a year ago, there is a sense of tranquility in the past.

"Xiao Ruo, I'm in a hurry." Mrs. Zhang sat down facing him.Du Ruo put the book away, and replied with a smile: "No, I just happen to be lazy here."

"I came here because of your marriage." Mrs. Zhang said worriedly: "Is it possible for you to get married immediately, but we have to prepare in advance. You have been avoiding me, and I am really worried." There are fewer and fewer girls of the right age in Beijing, and the little girl of the Kong family just got married a few days ago. You can’t delay any longer. Even if you don’t want to get married early, just settle down and take your time.”

Now Du Ruo understood why Mrs. Zhang was in such a hurry. The Zhang family was in contact with Duke Yan Sheng for their daughter, and the two families were going to get married. Unexpectedly, the matter had not been settled yet, Mrs. Zhang first took a fancy to the little girl of the Kong family.But because of Du Ruo's negative treatment, the little girl of the Kong family has already been assigned to the Wang family of the Lingnan family.Du Ruo can imagine Zhang's depressed mood when the child he was optimistic about just flew away.

"Mother." Du Ruo also said that she had something to belong to, but Mrs. Zhang only thought that he was perfunctory, and never faced this matter squarely. "I really have someone I like in my heart." Seeing Zhang's shocked expression, Du Ruo continued, "I really like him, but he's too young, and I'm still waiting." It's true that he's still young , is not yet an adult, and can't do something inappropriate for children, Du Ruoke didn't lie to her.

Mrs. Zhang was so shocked by the news that she was speechless.After adjusting myself, I asked, "Are you really sincere? Do you really have a girl you like?"

Du Ruo nodded affirmatively.Mrs. Zhang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Du Ruo's behavior that was obviously contrary to common sense, but she was really frightened.Mrs. Zhang chased after Du Ruo to ask this question and that, and Du Ruo answered one by one according to the words she had planned long ago. When Mrs. Zhang finally let Du Ruo go back, Du Ruo's clothes were already drenched with sweat.And Mrs. Zhang is still in shock.

It is said that the girl is really very young, maybe only seven or eight years old.She is very beautiful, and there are only a few noble girls in the capital who can afford the word "beautiful". Could it be that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Mrs. Zhang no longer has any illusions about the person Du Ruo mentioned.And hearing what he said, Mrs. Zhang felt that some of her guesses were getting more and more correct.

Here, Du Ruo resigned from Mrs. Zhang, returned to the study, and saw Li Jianwei standing in the middle when he entered the door.Seeing Du Ruo coming in, Zhu Houzhao introduced, "An Guogong Du Ruo, you must have seen him too."

"It's true, but our experience last night was not very pleasant." Li Jianwei said a little angrily.If Du Ruo hadn't stepped in, I might be able to know more about Ji Yun now.

"It seems that Young Master Li's memory is not very good. Could it be that he forgot Huangzhuang and Miss Wang Jiyun seven years ago." Du Ruo joked as she sat back in her seat with a smile.Seeing that Du Ruo came back, the maids hurried over to grind Du Ruo's ink. "Or it could be that young master Li forgets things too much. If you have a good wife, you don't want a beautiful woman."

Because Du Ruo hadn't had time to ventilate Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao was confused, but he believed that Du Ruo would not lose everything, just do his best and wait for Du Ruo to come up with something good.

Hearing these words, Li Jianwei remembered the Huangzhuang he had been to on the eve of his separation from Wang Jiyun seven years ago, and the two young masters he had met. Wasn't there one who claimed to be the Duke of the State at that time?Could it be that the two at that time were Du Ruo and the emperor?He thought for a while and turned around again. He had only met them once, how could they still remember about Wang Jiyun? Could it be...

"Your Majesty knows where Ji Yun is, right?" Li Jianwei immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "I hope Your Majesty will tell me where Ji Yun is. Although I have a deep affection for Ji Yun, I will not disappoint the Junjun after all. "

Du Ruo said "tsk tsk" in his heart, this is the scumbag of the Ming Dynasty. "I do know the whereabouts of Wang Jiyun. Not only do I know her whereabouts, I also know a lot of things that you don't. Do you want to know? It depends on the sincerity of your Li family."

The author has something to say: In fact, I really want to stew something greasy, but recently a new wave of crackdowns has started again, and it is said that even Momo is not allowed. (to fingers) The pig feet are also underage, let me think about how to avoid being knocked out.Jinjiang little shoushou, you tormenting little goblin.
