[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Ciqing Palace has a more resounding name in history: East Palace.When he was named crown prince, he was only 5 months old, and he was still struggling with the matter of drinking milk in his infancy.He became a prince without knowing anything.It was this incident that made Zhu Houzhao understand the importance of studying history.Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, the tyrant, and Liu Jin are all the children of Zhu Houzhao know about themselves.

Zhu Houzhao is a standard science otaku. When he was young, he and his elder brother listened to his grandfather lecture on Chinese classics. It was often because his grandfather was happy and his elder brother was happy when he listened.Compared with his elder brother who never returned on the road of Xueba and finally got a doctorate in literature, he is much inferior in this respect.

Although Grandpa Zhu was also a radical student when he was young, his family is old-fashioned. He knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he has developed a full-body style. He is a famous Confucian general.When I get old, I feel that the things of the ancestors are more precious, and hope that the children and grandchildren can inherit the treasures of the ancestors.But among the three grandsons, one grandson and two granddaughters, only Zhu Houzhao is the most dull.

Zhu Houzhao can be regarded as a genius in terms of hands-on, but his talent in liberal arts is really not good.The old man tried his best, but Zhu Houzhao would coax the old man again, so he just let it go.It is gratifying that although Zhu Houzhao is not very talented in the classics, he has achieved something in calligraphy and chess.His handwriting is so good that Mr. Zhu can't fault it, and he can be regarded as one of the best players among amateurs in chess.

Although Zhu Houzhao had also heard the old man explain the history of the Ming Dynasty, and watched Du Xiaogong read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that was popular all over the country, the problem was that he didn't remember it at all.The only thing he has an impression of is that he seems to be a tyrant, and there is a famous eunuch Liu Jin, and he doesn't know anything else.Where is the golden finger agreed by the time-traveling god?Zhu Xiaoshou has been crying blind.

It was getting dark when we returned to Ciqing Palace, and the emperor forbade the prince to play around at night.Zhu Houzhao really wanted to go to bed later, but the palace officials didn't dare, they hurriedly brought the purple gold basin to change clothes and wash with him.After finally tidying up my whole body, it was time to turn off the lights.The palace people withdrew lightly, leaving only the nanny who was sleeping on the edge of the cave on duty at night.All the candles have been extinguished, leaving only a small palace lantern.

Zhu Houzhao was lying on the bed, tossing and turning like a pancake, unable to sleep.It has been three years since he came to this world, from being at a loss at the beginning to adapting to it now, the sadness in his heart is beyond human understanding.Even though there is a kind emperor father, a gentle empress mother, and a new life that is about to come, I still miss my grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, brother, brother, and even my little cousin who has a bad temper.Also, there are lovers far away in that world.

I don't know if my relatives will embarrass him because of my death, and I don't know if he will live well in that world.Zhu Houzhao shed tears when he thought of the uncomfortable place.In the majestic green brick walls of the Forbidden City, under the scattered lights, he gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up early the next morning, it was the dawn light.By the time Zhu Houzhao got dressed and washed with his eyes dazed, a court lady had already prepared breakfast.Emperor Hongzhi was strict with frugality, and the expenses of the people in the harem were abolished. Therefore, although Zhu Houzhao was a prince, his breakfast was only more refined than that of ordinary wealthy people.There was only a bowl of rice porridge on the table, a stack of golden sesame seed cakes, a few small dishes such as fried pork with yellow vegetables, steamed crucian carp with honey, steamed roses and so on.There is also a bowl of cheese on display.

When Zhu Houzhao was seated, the little eunuch handed over a pair of light gold inlaid tooth chopsticks and a silver spoon.Although Zhu Houzhao's body is young now, he himself doesn't want to be fed by others like a child, so he started to eat by himself early.After dinner and cheese, the maids brought tea to rinse their mouths.Wait for the palace people to remove the things.Zhu Houzhao then sat in a soft sedan chair and went to Qingning Palace to greet the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Empress Dowager Zhou was the noble concubine of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen and the biological mother of Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen.She is also a legend, but she was born in a poor peasantry but eventually became the empress dowager, which is not a legend.Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was born in the West Palace and had a rough childhood. After the death of his biological mother Concubine Ji, the Empress Dowager Zhou raised her in the palace and cared for her.When Ming Xiaozong came to the throne, Zhou was respected as the empress dowager.For this reason, Ming Xiaozong was very filial to the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Zhu Houzhao had to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager every one or two days.In his eyes, the Empress Dowager Zhou is a very shrewd old lady. Of course, if she is not shrewd, she will not survive three dynasties.But what displeased him was that the Zhou family always asked Zhu Youtang to choose concubines widely, so as to do more for the royal family.After saying it a few times and finding it useless, the old lady stopped arguing with the emperor and rolled up her sleeves directly to go into battle.So in Qingning Palace, there will always be all kinds of beauties dangling around.As a toddler, he was embarrassed to say that he didn't want a little mother, so he could only bear with it and silently hoped that his cheap father would be able to control it.

Qingning Palace is very clean as its name suggests, but the emperor is very filial to the Zhou family, and what is good at the top will be very good at the bottom. Naturally, there are many people who follow the power to come and go, so the originally clean palace is also a bit noisy .After getting out of the soft sedan chair, along the way, there will be that beautiful palace lady sweeping back and forth, holding various utensils to and fro, just like a modern beauty pageant.

When she saw Mrs. Zhou, Nanny Yu was talking with her.Seeing her little great-grandson coming, Mrs. Zhou was very happy, and hurriedly called the palace servants to set up a seat in front of her, and asked Zhu Houzhao to sit in front of her.

"Did the ancestor sleep well yesterday?"

"Okay, okay." Although Mrs. Zhang didn't please her, the prince raised by Mrs. Zhang really hurt people's hearts.He is smart and sensible, good-looking, sweet-mouthed, really a good boy.

"What did the prince eat this morning?" Mrs. Zhou asked the attendant, Nanny Li.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Your Highness had a bowl of fragrant rice porridge, three small cakes, and a bowl of cheese this morning as usual." Nanny Li has followed Zhu Houzhao since he was born, and she understands it the most.

"It's cold in September, and His Highness still eats less. Let the kitchen work more carefully. Whatever Your Highness wants to eat, cook it carefully."

"Yes."

Zhu Houzhao saw that Mrs. Zhou asked about the diet, and replied, "Is it good for the ancestors to use?"

"It finally cleared up a few days ago. The staff of the Imperial Food Supervisor dried new chrysanthemums and made soft snacks. The Empress Dowager liked it very much. This morning, I bought three of them with rice porridge." Madam Yu is from Qingning Palace. The old man, from the time of Emperor Yingzong, followed the Zhou family who was still a concubine.

"The ancestors eat happily, and Zhao'er is also happy." Facts have proved that being cute is a great weapon for Zhu Houzhao's children, from the Zhou family to the emperor.

"Hey, my little grandson is still caring." The Zhou family was born in a poor family, and spent most of his life in the Forbidden City.If Zhu Houzhao was older, it would be impossible for her to be so close to him, but Zhu Houzhao is still so young, so there is no longer any guard in people's hearts.Furthermore, Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang was indeed filial to her, which made her really treat Zhu Houzhao as a child, and she also took care of Zhu Houzhao on weekdays, just as if she had raised a precious kitten, and teased and teased her in her free time .

She also had some thoughts in her heart, she wanted to find a child from the Zhou family to grow up with Zhu Houzhao, and when the new king came to the throne, the road for the Zhou family would be easier.For this reason, what Zhu Houzhao heard from her the most was what happened to the older brother of the Zhou family, and what happened to the younger brother of the Zhou family.

Zhou is over 60 years old, she is already very old for an ancient person, and even a little exercise makes her weak.Zhu Youtang, enduring the urge to leave, had a conversation with Mrs. Zhou, and seeing that she was out of energy, he excused himself to resign on the pretext that he needed to learn calligraphy.

Seeing him, Mrs. Zhou didn't want to keep Xiangxue, but asked Aunt Yu to send them back.He also said that the dim sum this morning was good and asked him to take some back to try something new.

Zhu Youtang left Qingning Palace and returned to Ciqing Palace.Although Zhu Houzhao's handwriting is beautiful, it's just Zhu Houzhao not Zhu Houzhao. In order to prevent others from taking him as a monster, he still has to pretend.Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao is still a small bun, and his wrist strength is not strong enough, so ordinary people can't see it when he draws casually.

Zhu Houzhao had been enlightened early, but Zhu Youtang forbade him to practice calligraphy for fear that he might hurt his wrist.What Zhu Houzhao has to write every day is only four big characters, so as not to forget the homework taught by the master.

After writing the big characters alone, another eunuch came to report, and asked Zhu Houzhao to have dinner in Kunning Palace.Some palace servants brought washing things to wipe Zhu Houzhao's face and hands clean.Another soft sedan chair went to Kunning Palace.

Originally Zhu Houzhao was a minor prince and should live in Kunning Palace, but he wanted to live alone.After several efforts, Zhu Youtang did not agree, the reason being that etiquette cannot be broken, and it would be better for the prince to live in Kunning Palace when he was young.Zhu Houzhao bought Liu Jian to intercede for him before moving to Ciqing Palace.Zhu Hou thought about his tossing and turning between various palaces every day, and he missed modern cars very much.However, it is still the farming era at this time, and Ford, Honda and other gentlemen don't know where they are, let alone cars.The only preferential treatment is just a ride in a soft sedan, and it's just a pleasure to talk about it.

The seventh year of Hongzhi is not a year of peace.Since March, Gansu, Liaodong, Xuanfu, Shandong, Fujian, Yunnan, and Sichuan have experienced earthquakes one after another. The southeast coastal area has been hit by typhoons. Southern Zhili, Susong, Zhejiang, Huzhou and other prefectures have experienced violent storms or floods. Flooding, Nanjing encountered strong wind and heavy rain in September, and the Taimiao and Xiaoling Mausoleum were damaged.In the eyes of the ancients, these things were omens from the heavens because the emperor was not virtuous and the ministers were not diligent.

Ni Yue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, wrote a letter based on this. Zhu Youtang pretended to be thinking about his past, but he was not feeling well in his heart.He asked himself that compared to his bastard father, he was already quite qualified as an emperor.He had a rough childhood and spent a trembling childhood in the cold palace. Finally, the Emperor Chenghua knew of his existence, but the eunuch Zhang Min and his mother Concubine Ji passed away one after another.Although he is a prince, he has nothing to rely on, and he has to be on guard against Concubine Wan Gui at any time.When he came to the throne as emperor, he vowed to be a good emperor, but God didn't know why he couldn't hear his determination. Since he took the throne, various disasters followed one after another, which made him doubt himself.

Today, Du Yide from the Andinghou's Mansion accepted the paperwork for returning to his hometown to worship, and he wanted to take a four-month leave to return to his hometown to worship.Marquis Anding has been away from home for more than 20 years. Zhu Youtang is naturally not able to stop his father's [-]th birthday celebration this year, so he had to agree.Du Yide, the Marquis of Anding, came to ask for Ann and saw Zhu Youtang's expression of dissatisfaction, so he comforted him a bit, knowing that Zhu Youtang was proud of Zhu Houzhao's efforts to win him over, and also picked up some interesting stories about his own children for Zhu Youtang.

Zhu Youtang was finally amused by him, and he relieved a lot. He asked Du Ruo how old he was, whether he had ever studied, and Du Yide answered them one by one.Zhu Youtang thought again that Zhu Houzhao was alone and had no brothers. Isn't this a ready-made playmate?Therefore, after Du Yide returned to Beijing, he made up his mind to let the two meet and play with Zhu Houzhao.

He is not happy in politics, but in family, he has a gentle and virtuous wife, a smart and lovely son, a new life is about to come, and he has a close friend outside, which makes him somewhat relieved from the tedious government affairs.
