[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Chapter 13 The 8th Year of Hongzhi

Zhu Houzhao has been worried about the development of the case, although he also knows that it is impossible for Zhu Youtang to punish these two people severely.Li Guang died in the imperial prison last night, it is said that he had an emergency.The Taoist Zhang made a great wish, saying that he would visit famous mountains and rivers to find the invisible Zhang Sanfeng who had lived for 120 years for the emperor. After he got the booklet, the emperor gave him a Taoist robe and let him go.The other people involved in the case were either demoted, exiled, or executed, but they were not mentioned.

Zhu Houzhao seldom came to Qianqing Palace after studying in Wenhua Palace, but now he is kneeling in Qianqing Palace.

"You are amazing." Zhu Youtang sat high on the dragon chair, looking down at Zhu Houzhao who was kneeling below. The little child was not tall, but was fat and looked like a dumpling.Who would have thought that such a boy with the appearance of a dumpling would have skills no less than that of an adult.

The Qianqing palace had just been washed, and Zhu Youtang was a little worried. He knelt on it, but when he thought of what he had done, he made up his mind to leave him alone.

"I don't dare." Zhu Houzhao knelt on the cold floor of Qianqing Palace, he couldn't see Zhu Youtang's face clearly, and he didn't know what Zhu Youtang's expression was.Jun's father, Jun's father, since Zhu Houzhao was born, Zhu Youtang has always shown his father's side, and today he finally saw Zhu Youtang's side as a king.

"You don't dare, why don't you dare?" Zhu Houzhao's quick way of dealing with Li Guang made Zhu Youtang feel a deep sense of powerlessness.The son has grown up without knowing it, and has the means and ability to get rid of the people he wants to get rid of.His father is not feeling well.

"Some ministers dare, some don't dare." Zhu Houzhao is not afraid to show his unusual wisdom.Zhu Youtang was weak and feared that he would not live long and leave behind his young son.In all dynasties of China, there has never been a shortage of treacherous ministers who played with the young emperor in their hands.What he hopes most is that his son can grow up quickly and have the ability to take on the important affairs of the family and the country.The smarter Zhu Houzhao is, the happier he is. As long as this son is still under his control, everything will be fine.It was Zhu Houzhao's grasp of Zhu Youtang's mentality that he dared to do this with confidence. "I just read a line of poetry, and I feel very frightened. It should be used to persuade myself."

"What poem?"

"Poor at midnight, I don't ask people to ask ghosts and gods."

Zhu Youtang was really angry for a moment. He thought that Zhu Houzhao was targeting Li Guang because he couldn't understand Li Guang's arrogance.The eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were harmful, and Zhu Youtang himself advocated cracking down on eunuchs. Naturally, he supported his son's idea.But his son actually came for him, questioning his authority as a father and emperor, so how could he not be angry, "Presumptuous."

"I don't know what's wrong, I hope my father will enlighten me."

"You are slandering your father." Zhu Youtang is a good father, but he is also the emperor. Facing Zhu Houzhao's questioning, he felt that this was challenging his authority.

"Since the father condemned his son, the son had to defend himself. How many days has the father not gone to court to listen to the Taoist preaching? And the golden pill, he only deceived his father to prolong his life, but he didn't know that even he I don’t even take it myself. My father is not in good health, and he is usually afraid of the cold. After taking his elixir, he is afraid of the heat. My son thinks it must not be a good medicine.” Zhu Houzhao is not afraid that Zhu Youtang will become addicted Because of Huang Lao's art and ignoring the government, Zhu Houzhao believes that Zhu Youtang still has his own sense of propriety.Zhu Houzhao was really worried about his body.Mentioning the government is just to magnify the consequences, so as to persuade Zhu Youtang.

"Don't be annoyed by your son's words to your father. The imperial hospital has advised you many times, and your son has advised you many times. My father only believes the words of the Taoist priest, not the words of a serious imperial physician and my son. My son has no choice but to do it himself."

"You said it as if you were wronged, but what you did was a good thing."

"My son thinks he's doing a good job. I still remember my father taught me the duty of being a son and a minister. As a son, if the father's health is weak, the son should seek medical advice. As a minister, there are traitors who lie to the Holy Majesty. The minister From the side of Lord Qing. Li Guang and Zhang Daoren teamed up to lie to their father, so the son will naturally take care of them." Seeing that Zhu Youtang finally had a smile in his words, Zhu Houzhao said coquettishly.

Seeing him acting like a baby, Zhu Youtang couldn't hold back his face, and sighed, "Your father and I still say that, you are a prince, and you have to think deeply about every move. Others think twice, you have to think five and six. Do you know what you poked this time?"

"I know that doing this will cause trouble, but I can't help it. Last time, my mother persuaded my father, and I also persuaded my father, but my father just didn't listen." Zhu Hou took care of Zhu Youtang to soften completely, and automatically switched to being a cute boy.

"There is also Du Ruo. Then Du Ruo, you just met him once, and you trust him so much?"The unreserved trust in Du Ruohao is also part of Zhu Youtang's dissatisfaction.How did he know that Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo were involved in the previous life.The two have been ups and downs in the business world for several years, supporting each other. No one understands Du Ruo better than Zhu Houzhao, and no one trusts Du Ruo more than Zhu Houzhao.

"My son believes in Brother Du, maybe this is a predestined relationship in the past life." Zhu Houzhao really couldn't make this story complete, and planned to prevaricate it with the predestined relationship in the future.

"It's fine if you don't want to say it. Let's end this matter here. You are kind, but after all, you are young and only know how to catch Li Guang. But those people behind Li Guang, don't you care? Pull out the carrot belt You still owe it to yourself to get out of the mud." Zhu Youtang knew that the two of them must be tricky, but Du Ruo did it beautifully and didn't leave a clue, so he naturally couldn't make it difficult for the child.

"That Du Ruo really has some skills. It is said that he has achieved some results after tossing about stereotype printing. You are not a child anymore. Since you two can play well, I can't help you. From now on, if you want to leave the palace, you can leave the palace." After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao stood up happily and ran towards Zhu Youtang, and rushed into Zhu Youtang's arms all at once.Seeing that Zhu Youtang was still frowning, he reached out to smooth it out. "Daddy, Daddy, stop pretending. I know you know."

"I don't know what you are thinking. You think Liu Jin can go to you without me." Zhu Youtang touched Zhu Houzhao's forehead and said with a smile.Since ancient times, there was a saying of repaying grandchildren but not sons, but his eldest son and second son had personally reported it, especially the eldest son, who he had always hugged since he was a child, and he loved him the most.

"My son knows he's wrong, so don't be angry, dad."

"Okay, okay, daddy won't be angry anymore. Go ahead." Zhu Youtang was coaxed by his eldest son to lose all anger.

Zhu Houzhao got Zhu Youtang's approval, and naturally swaggered towards Andinghou's mansion.When I arrived at the door, I happened to run into Du Lin who was waiting for someone from the paper mill at the corner door.Seeing that he was dressed best at the door, Gao Feng thought he should be a housekeeper, got off his horse and called out, "Old man."

Du Lin looked at a middle-aged man with a white face and a wealthy face, leading a tall horse, followed by a dozen attendants, guarding the top of an exquisite carriage. I don't know who came to visit, and he cupped his hands and said: "I don't know The honored guests come to the door, but they are far away to welcome them. I just don’t know who’s on the sedan chair?”

"My dear Gao Feng, my young master is in the car. My young master and your master Hou are brothers with different surnames. I am here to visit the young master today, and I am sorry to trouble you."

Du Lin was puzzled when he heard this, when did his young master have a brother with a different surname, but when he saw that the man he was talking to had a clean face, a bit like a father-in-law in the palace, he was horrified and asked, "Could it be Young Master Zhu? "

Gao Feng replied: "That's right, I'm not going to report it soon."

Du Lin hurriedly called the young servant who was waiting at the corner gate and whispered some instructions, and the young servant rushed away.Seeing that Zhu Houzhao hadn't got off the carriage, Du Lin asked Gao Feng, "Can you ask Master Zhu to get off the carriage, my young master will be there soon."

Only then did Gao Feng turn around, and carried Zhu Houzhao out of the carriage.Seeing that Du Lin came down, Gao Feng was about to kneel down, and hurriedly stopped him, "Young Master, I don't want others to know his identity." Du Lin bent down several times before giving up.

Seeing that the door was open, Du Linxu stretched out his right hand as a gesture of invitation, and Gao Fengfang followed Zhu Houzhao into it.Entering the main entrance, the corridor leads directly to the main hall, and the three big characters of "Zhiyuan Hall" are sharp and sharp, which makes people feel like a knife.Just as he was about to enter the door, Du Ruo greeted him from inside.

"His Royal Highness is here, and he is far away to greet you, disrespectful and disrespectful." Being in the Ming Dynasty, Du Ruo naturally understood the rules of the Ming Dynasty, and saluted Zhu Houzhao in a similar manner.

Seeing Du Ruo saluting and bowing like a little old man, Zhu Houzhao just wanted to laugh.Now that he was out of the palace, he didn't bother to pay attention to the so-called etiquette, so he strictly told Gao Feng not to follow, and asked Du Ruo to take him to the backyard.

As soon as he saw Du Ruo's big bed in the backyard, Zhu Houzhao kicked off his shoes, climbed up, and rolled happily on it.

Seeing him having fun on his bed, Du Ruo smiled and drove out all the serving maids and servants. "How do you turn into a child physically, you really treat yourself as a child."

"Don't worry about me, I was just scolded by my emperor's father today, and I'm still depressed." Zhu Houzhao simply threw away the small crown on his head, and pulled the quilt to cover it.

"It was Li Guang who was unlucky and provoked you. Without you, Li Guang would be a character like Wei Zhongxian in two years." Unlike Zhu Houzhao, Du Ruo is also a half-history buff and knows more or less about the history of the Ming Dynasty. "Is godfather in good health? Ming Xiaozong has only been in power for 18 years."

"It's average. It's good or bad. I just hang it all the time. There are no serious illnesses, but minor illnesses." Zhu Houzhao felt that he had had enough fun, so he got up and put on his shoes.Du Ruo sat beside him and carefully helped him put on the tiara.

Zhu Houzhao pinched his baby's fat face, feeling miserable.Damn, when will you be able to eat meat like this? ┭┮﹏┭┮

"Have you been studying printing in the past two days?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously. He knew that he was actually better than Du Ruo in terms of cheating - Du Ruo only knew the general direction of history, but knowing the general direction was useless.I am in the middle of the game, who would know how strong the wind blowing out by my butterfly, and whoever is not sure will fan history.

As for Zhu Houzhao, his grandmother is a professor of materials chemistry, and his mother is a student of his grandmother, who is also a professor of a well-known university. Except for the time spent with his grandfather in the old house, Zhu Houzhao grew up in the laboratory, as long as there are suitable raw materials He can make most common daily chemical products as well as equipment.It's just that in the Ming Dynasty without test tubes and alcohol lamps, these thick golden fingers are just a dream.

"I originally wanted to do stencil printing. But I only knew the principle. I tried it, but it was too difficult. I changed it to simple typography. The result is not bad, just take a look." Take the book printed by shopkeeper Zhang and show it to him, "This is more than 100 editions later, is it much better than the current wooden movable type?"

In fact, compared with stereotype printing, stencil mimeograph technology is more competitive.With a wooden frame stretched with silk screen, a glue stick, a piece of wax paper that only takes a short time to write on, a little ink, and a stack of very low-quality paper, one person can start the job, and it is not a problem to print thousands of sheets in a day.Before computer typesetting, printers, and copiers were widely used, stencil mimeograph occupied a wide range of low-end printing markets, and it was actually an excellent product for printing tabloids, brochures, and various test papers.

But in the Ming Dynasty, the wax, paper, ink, and ink roller required for stencil printing technology were all problems.Without a year or two or even a year or 20 years of research, stencil mimeograph technology is basically a dream.That's why Du Ruo chose relatively simple stereotype printing.

The author has something to say: the background of the plot is almost explained, and it is beginning to enter the golden finger stage.The author is blind to history, if it doesn’t conform to history, everyone expresses it (*^__^*)
