[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Before seeing Du Ruo, Zhu Houzhao always thought that he would cry a lot when he saw Du Ruo, but when he really saw Du Ruo, there was only one thing left: just come back.After nearly half a year apart, both Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo visibly lost weight.It's just that Du Ruo's skinny is leaner and thinner, his skin is tanned, and his muscles are much stronger.Zhu Houzhao's thinness is purely a proportional reduction in volume and weight.

Although there were very few letters between Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo due to the bad weather blocking communication, Du Ruo still got a general understanding of what Zhu Houzhao did on the way.Because of this, Du Ruo is even more worried about Zhu Houzhao's current situation.He knew that Zhu Houzhao was especially afraid of "death".It's not that he himself is afraid of death, but that he is afraid of life passing in front of him.But it was Zhu Houzhao who personally supervised the execution in the vegetable market, so Du Ruo had to worry about Zhu Houzhao.

In this snowstorm, Zhu Houzhao did personally supervise and kill several officials who neglected their duties, stole themselves, and were greedy for ink.Many victims who caused trouble during the disaster relief were exiled again, but this time Zhu Houzhao was unexpectedly calm.People will always change in the environment. When every stroke of cinnabar that he crossed out represents the passing of a life, Zhu Houzhao has been able to calmly deal with this problem that he could not face before.

I still remember Zhu Houzhao's reaction to the blood when Zhu Hui rebelled last time. Du Ruo was relieved after repeatedly confirming that Zhu Houzhao was fine. "Tell myself that I don't regret every decision I make, and I feel worthy of the rights I have. I think these should not be so difficult to accept." Even though there will be some resistance, Zhu Houzhao is used to this kind of life.And Zhu Houzhao knew that he had done well enough, what he should do most was not to show his fear here, but to work harder to make his cinnabar more and more useless.

Knowing that Zhu Houzhao had let go of his knots, Du Ruo was also greatly relieved. "In fact, you just need to think that there are more people alive behind each name." Whether they are innocent or deserved, there are more people alive behind them.It's useless to entangle in things that you can't solve. Things like getting into a dead end will only make your loved ones hurt your enemies. It's better to use all your energy to pay attention to the living people, so that the living people can Live well, the dead can close their eyes.

The two of them still wanted to stay alone for a while, but there was no way it was already noon, and Mrs. Zhang had already sent someone to urge them to go to Weiyang Palace for dinner together.Ever since Zhang knew about Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo, Zhang has always had a very strange feeling for Du Ruo.She didn't know whether she should treat him as her son or her daughter-in-law.Especially after knowing how to deal with the matter from Zhu Youtang, Mrs. Zhang didn't know how to face Du Ruo.

The luckiest thing for her is that Du Ruo treats her as before, and she can follow Du Ruo and treat him as before, and the two of them live in harmony in a subtle tacit understanding.It was Zhu Houzhao's state after Du Ruo left that broke Zhang's thinking. Even though she didn't understand the politics in the general environment, she still knew that her son was accomplishing a great feat that even the emperor and Chengzu hadn't.Zhu Houzhao's loneliness was also seen by her. Perhaps Liu Jian, a teacher who had been with Zhu Houzhao for more than ten years, knew Zhu Houzhao best in the court, but even so, Mrs. Zhang could clearly feel the relationship between Liu Jian and Zhu Houzhao. There is a huge gap in understanding between thick photos.

And Zhu Houzhao's only confidant can only be Du Ruo.Mrs. Zhang knew that only her son could truly express himself in front of Du Ruo.Especially in the past six months when Du Ruo left, every time she saw Zhu Houzhao's back hidden in the shadow of this man-eating monster palace, Mrs. Zhang had a strong feeling that only when Du Ruo was here could Zhu Houzhao really warm up, truly Like a man of flesh and blood.

This kind of cognition almost crushed Zhang Shi. In her heart, the taboo love between Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo is absolutely unacceptable.But the love for the two children forced her to accept the relationship that was done.The last night that moved Zhang was Zhu Youtang's most critical condition. She saw Zhu Houzhao holding Du Ruo's letter, crying alone in the empty side hall.

How long has Zhu Houzhao cried in front of her? Zhang can’t remember. She only knows that in this most difficult winter, in the most desperate time, Zhu Houzhao left herself, Wei’er, and Ai Cao to always be positive and hopeful. Another calm smile.In such a cold winter, Zhu Houzhao undoubtedly used his not-so-broad shoulders to prop up warm tents for the family in his heart.

And Zhu Houzhao's negative emotions did not miss the 01:30 point in front of anyone. It seems that he should be like this, a strong man who will never be timid.It was only on that night of tears that Mrs. Zhang suddenly realized that her son was actually just a child all along.He is also a person, a person with fear, and only in front of Du Ruo will he be popular, and Du Ruo can prop up the tent for him that can also protect him from the wind and rain.

After figuring this out, Mrs. Zhang suddenly became active towards Du Ruo.Considering that the two children are still young, according to the waiter, the two of them did not do anything excessive.Mrs. Zhang even began to understand that aspect, lest the two children would hurt herself if they didn't understand anything.Facts have proved that Mrs. Zhang's ideas are superfluous. The two of them were already old husbands and old husbands in their previous lives. They have long been experts in such things, and Mrs. Zhang is still needed there.But the heart of a loving mother is nothing more than that. Zhang's ability to do this also proves that she really loves Zhu Houzhao. This kind of love does not have any additional conditions, and it is one of the purest feelings in time.

Knowing that Du Ruo will return to Beijing in these two days, Mrs. Zhang started to prepare early.If Du Ruo is not in the capital, he has already missed this season's spring clothes.Mrs. Zhang thought that the Duke's Mansion also had prepared ones, but they were still not as good as the ones made inside. She prepared a few extra sets of clothes for Du Ruo, and also prepared a lot of all kinds of food that Du Ruo liked.Zhu Houzhao was busy discussing the reform of the imperial examination with people from the Imperial Academy these days, but he didn't notice this aspect. It was Zhu Houwei who first noticed this aspect.

Never underestimate children's observation skills. From the moment Zhang and Zhu Youtang found out about Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo, the two children knew that there must be strange things between their elder brother and their father and mother.It's just that they don't know what this weirdness really means.Zhu Youtang wandered on the line of life and death for a winter, and Zhu Houwei and Ai Cao followed suit for a winter in fear.Now everything is finally getting better, and the two of them are starting to be lively again.While pestering Mrs. Zhang, they found that they suddenly didn't like brother Du Ruo's mother, and suddenly started being so nice to brother Du Ruo again.

Although children are children, they still know some things. They knew that they must not ask Mrs. Zhang about this matter, so they told Zhu Youtang.Zhu Youtang is now lying on the bed most of the time, and is willing to talk to the two children when he has nothing to do.From the mouth of the child, Zhu Youtang could always hear a lot of things that happened in the Forbidden City that he didn't know, and he knew that these father-in-laws and court ladies lived like this.Zhu Youtang couldn't help laughing when he heard the youngest son and the youngest woman secretly telling him about Mrs. Zhang.

In contrast, Zhu Youtang is the person who can most accept the relationship between Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo.He brought up Zhu Houzhao single-handedly since he was a child, and seeing how good he and Du Ruo are, it's not surprising that he knew something about them.As a person who is dedicated to writing, it can even be said that it is an elegant thing for Long Yang's kindness as long as it has nothing to do with future heirs.So at the beginning, for Zhu Youtang, as long as Zhu Houzhao can marry the queen and have children, let them play if they like to play.

So it was Mrs. Zhang who resisted the most. Thinking of Mrs. Zhang telling herself that she wanted to find a sensible and stern-mouthed imperial physician, Zhu Youtang couldn't help laughing.After just laughing, I couldn't help worrying and feeling lost.Looking at Zhu Houwei who was still a fool, Zhu Youtang couldn't help but patted his head, thinking that Zhu Houwei would avoid it all at once.

Shyly looking at Zhu Youtang's palm resting there, Zhu Houwei argued in a low voice: "I'm not a child anymore, Daddy don't touch my head anymore. Brother Du Ruo said that I won't grow taller if I do this." Zhu Youtang Listening to his words, it was both funny and sad. "Yes, you have grown up, even little wormwood is a qualified little princess."

Just as he was sighing, he saw Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo opening the curtain and coming in.One is wearing a bright yellow Panlong uniform, the other is wearing a red military officer's uniform. They are both heroic young men. One is tall, one is short, one is white, and the other is black. They really look incomparably harmonious. "What's wrong with our little princess?" It was Du Ruo who spoke. Just now, Zhu Houwei and Ai Cao pestered him to tell Tatar, who wanted to tie braids on men's heads, and was scared away by himself in a few words.

"It's nothing, just praise her." Zhu Youtang was about to struggle to get up, Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo rushed forward, one helped him up, and the other gave him a backrest. "You have all grown up, and you are more capable than the other."

Zhu Houwei thought he was praising himself, so he stood up and showed off: "I made a big pot of porridge. It's so big. I've never seen such a big pot. The next day, I raised my arms I can’t get up anymore.” The capital continued to distribute dumpling soup for more than ten days, and in order to let Zhu Houwei see and see, Zhu Houzhao asked Lu Liang to take Zhu Houwei too.Seeing the prestige of others giving porridge, Zhu Houwei insisted on going by himself, but Lu Liang couldn't resist him, so he asked him to do it once, but the next day his little arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them up.After all, he is a child in his teens, and if he did a little thing, he would like the whole world to know.

After he finished speaking, Du Ruo was very flattering, praising him for being sensible and smart, and now he angered Ai Cao, so he turned Lian to ignore Du Ruo and Zhu Houwei.It was Zhu Houzhao who spoke for Ai Cao. "The wormwood is terrible. Knowing that the victims had no food to eat, I planted vegetables in my own flower shed, so that everyone had several delicious meals."

The two glass flower sheds of wormwood used to store plants for the winter. Knowing that the victims had only porridge to drink every day, they moved the plants indoors, and used the glass flower sheds to grow some green vegetables that grow quickly and harvest more. Very good. I have already received three stubbles.Cutting the vegetables into pieces and putting them in the porridge, and adding the pork donated by each family, can also improve the food for the victims.Although the matter is small, such a heart is rare. The most praised these days is wormwood.
