[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

There is nothing more joyful than loving people together.Zhu Houzhao played until Zishi, and returned to the palace when he couldn't bear it any longer and was drowsy.When Du Ruo sent Zhu Houzhao away, Gao Feng gave him big eyes.

Zhu Houzhao woke up from his sleep only when the morning sun shone on the carpet through the Li shell window.Now it's the ten-day holiday of the Lantern Festival, and Zhu Houzhao has nothing to do. He just plays around with Zhu Houwei every day.After getting dressed slowly, Zhu Houzhao went to Kunning after breakfast.

The past few days have been sunny, and the sun shines on the snow-cleared palace, making people feel warm.Occasionally, one or two trees with small bumps on the branches can be seen-spring is coming.

As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, Zhu Houzhao officially left the cabinet and entered school.Because Zhu Houzhao is too young, the days of studying are only every three, six, nine or three days, but the homework is heavier.Zhu Houzhao also successfully bid farewell to "The Analects of Confucius" and progressed to "The Book of Songs".The person who lectured for Zhu Houzhao was also replaced by a serious Donggong lecturer, not a part-time Liu Jian.It's just that Liu Dong still serves as a companion, reading with Zhu Houzhao every day.

After more than two months of living as a companion, Liu Dong's spirit gradually improved, and flesh gradually grew on his thin and pale face.Liu Dong's condition is getting better and better, and he has even been loved by the emperor and prince, and the big and small Zhang who hates it all the time.

And after more than four months of confinement in the palace, Zhou finally announced his recovery and returned to the arena.I just don't know how she will feel after knowing that Mrs. Zhang is pregnant again. Is she happy that the royal family has had more children, or is she disappointed that it is more difficult to put a woman next to Zhu Youtang.

Shao Shi of Qingyou Palace was also very happy, because Princess Xingxian Jiang Shi was pregnant, and she was about to welcome her first grandson.In order to pray to the Buddha to bless the child's safe birth, Shao entered a rare peaceful life, eating fast and chanting Buddha every day, and stopped all kinds of small movements.

The textile business of Du Ruo and Xu Beiniang has also improved.Du Ruo's business with Xu Beiniang only accounted for a very small part of his planned investment. Xing Wu's trip to Hangzhou was not only to coordinate the cooperation with Xu Beiniang on behalf of Du Ruo, that little money was not worth the number two person in Anding Hou's mansion to go in person. Do preliminary work for the formation of the fleet in the future.

Although Xu Beiniang's father is dead, their family is not a scholarly family, and the reputation of their mothers has long been ruined.Time was urgent, Xu Beiniang naturally didn't care so much, and was running around in Dai Xiao's body.The Xu family has money and contacts among merchants, and the Marquis of Anding stands behind Xing Wu. It is easy to do small things in the Jiangnan boundary.

The factory building of the textile factory has already been built. It is located in the outskirts of Hangzhou. In order to use water conservancy and textile machines in the future, the site was chosen in a low-yield field backed by the Qiantang River. The design also focused on simplicity, lighting and fire prevention.Here, because the river flows too fast, the land is barren, and the land price is very cheap, which just saves a lot of money for the plan.By the way, there are also supporting workers' dormitories, canteens and so on.

The workers needed by the textile factory have also been found. They are all poor and landless farmers, refugees and healthy beggars. There are more than 1000 men and women.These people are trained by the factory and divided into two shifts, male and female, and they can start working when the factory is in place.Because Xu Beiniang and the others helped solve the big security problem, the local officials were even willing to provide guards.Everything is going in a good direction.

However, the plan to open the mutual market in Hami was still under discussion, and several factions of the imperial court were arguing with each other. Zhu Youtang ignored them, and directly started building Hami, a strategic stronghold of the westward trade route, with Ma Wensheng's faction.The money is of course the "donations" of Northwest businessmen, and a total of 3107 million taels of silver was raised, which is more than enough for this item.

Because of the arrival of the Little Ice Age, spring in the Ming Dynasty came later than in modern times.This year is especially so, the grass doesn't shyly reveal its tender light green color until mid-March.Mrs. Zhang's belly gradually grew, and Zhu Houzhao moved back to the Kunning Palace to take care of the terrifying and destructive little friend Zhu Houwei.

Since Zhu Houwei was born, he has always been the center of attention.When he was born, Zhu Houzhao no longer needed Zhang's worries.In addition to Zhang Shi and Zhu Youtang, there is also a 24-year-old elder brother who spoils him together.Mrs. Zhang is pregnant, and the two couples naturally neglected him in order to take care of the child in their womb. Zhu Houzhao's homework was also heavier, and he didn't have the time to play with him in the past.

Parents of normal children will feel out of favor when they are busy, let alone Zhu Houwei who has always been used to being pampered by everyone.Zhu Houwei, who has a sense of loss, has been particularly awkward recently. The specific manifestations are that he loves to cry more, likes to destroy all kinds of toys, and he does not want to talk to the Zhang family, Zhu Youtang, Zhu Houzhao and so on.Mrs. Zhang had a special situation, and Zhu Youtang had no time, so the task of coaxing Zhu Houwei fell naturally to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao also tried his best to take Zhu Houwei well.For example, right now, two people are planting vegetables covered in mud in a field specially opened by the Imperial Garden.In order not to make Zhu Houwei a mediocre and ignorant aristocrat who "why not eat minced meat", Zhu Houzhao came up with such a fun and meaningful game.

In April, we can vaguely see that there are few things suitable for planting in the north. Zhu Houzhao selected pumpkin, loofah, bitter gourd, and cucumber, four good-looking, high-yield vegetables.The eunuch in charge of gardening in the Imperial Garden also recommended delicious strawberries to His Royal Highness.These kinds of vegetables all need to grow seedlings first. A few days ago, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei had already bred small green seedlings in flower pots in the greenhouse, and they only started transplanting today.

It was the first time for Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei to work as this kind of guy, and they both found it very novel.Especially Zhu Houwei who has never seen the growth process of flowers and trees.When the two finally planted the little tender seedlings under the guidance of the eunuchs, both of them had turned into little cats.

After playing happily for a day, Zhu Houwei was a little tired. Zhu Hou watched him nod his head little by little, and hurriedly asked the nuns to take him to take a bath.After smelling the bad smell on his body, Zhu Houzhao also went to take a bath in disgust.

After taking a warm bath and coaxing Zhu Houwei to sleep, Zhu Houzhao walked to his room with his hair loose, and was going to have dinner with Zhu Houwei after squinting for a while.

Just as he was about to fall asleep in a daze, Gao Feng hurriedly woke him up, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Wake up."

Zhu Houzhao sat up in a daze, as if his head was muddled.Seeing him like this, Gao Feng knew that there was no need to rush, but the matter was urgent and he couldn't wait anymore.Seeing that there were white cloth towels for wiping sweat and cold water for increasing humidity beside him, Gao Feng had an idea, and splashed the cool wet cloth on Zhu Houzhao's face, which woke Zhu Houzhao up.

Zhu Houzhao woke up with a jolt, and immediately understood when he saw the wet cloth towel in Gao Feng's hand. "What's the rush?" Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had woken up, the maids waiting behind Gao Feng filed in and dressed Zhu Houzhao quickly.

"Uncle Guo and Uncle Chang Ning didn't know that hundreds of people fought for the shop or the field. Now the Holy One is angry. The Empress has been kneeling outside the Qianqing Palace for two quarters of an hour. The Empress is still pregnant, and now she is on the ground. It’s still cold, so what if something happens. The letter brought by Eunuch Jiang, let me invite you quickly.”

Zhu Houzhao woke up suddenly, with a dull pain in his head, "Will my father make my mother kneel?"

"The Empress Dowager Zhou is here. The news came back that Uncle Zhou had a stroke. Now the imperial doctor is still in the uncle's house. I heard that even if he is cured, Uncle Zhou is probably useless." Inquire about it.

"Can the uncles of the country enter the palace?" Zhu Hou took the seriousness of the matter into account.At the feet of the emperor, relatives compete for profit, and the impact can no longer be described as serious.

"The Marquis of Jianchang handed over the booklet to enter the palace to plead guilty, but was rejected by the emperor." Gao Feng had a general understanding of the situation before coming, "There is no news from the Marquis of Shouning, so he doesn't know the situation." Changhou is Zhang Yanling, the uncle of Erguo.

Zhu Houzhao laughed angrily, "He made a mistake and asked my mother to wipe his ass? He is really good at counting." Seeing that he was almost dressed, Zhu Houzhao jumped out of bed, picked up his cloak and left.Gao Feng hurriedly followed behind.

Zhu Houzhao walked quickly, and said as he walked: "You go to Nanny Li and tell her to take care of the Second Highness. The Second Highness started to cry and coax him to eat first. I'm afraid this matter will take a while. No matter what the Second Highness tells her to You must never come to find the Empress and me."

"Before the villain came, I sent someone to invite you, and the villain will convey the order of His Highness in a while. Eunuch Liu Jin has already brought a charcoal basin and a thick futon to the Qianqing Palace. The villains dare not act rashly, and can only wait for the meeting." Send it up, His Royal Highness." Gao Feng has always been reliable in his work, and he said that he is not worried about Zhu Houzhao.

"You did a good job, you go back. Tell Liu Wei to hurry up and follow me, don't call people too much, he alone is enough. You wait in Kunning Palace, let Suyue and the others prepare the imperial physician and heating items, No matter how late it is, let the imperial physician wait by my side." After Zhu Houzhao explained everything, he got on the soft car and hurried to the Qianqing Palace.Gao Feng went to do his own thing.

From a distance, Zhu Houzhao told Ruanyu to stop, put on his cloak and walked away.On the edge of the square outside the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Jin and others quietly hiding aside, and the charcoal stove for heating had already been fired.

"His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness." Liu Jin called out softly when he saw Zhu Houzhao approaching.Zhu Houzhao hurried over.

"The Empress is still kneeling on the Qianqing Palace, and the Empress Dowager won't let her get up." Liu Jin wiped the sweat from her brow, "Little people dare not send things up, but now that Your Highness is coming down, do you want to send them up?"

"Follow me and send the charcoal stove up. What about the futon, give it to me. Follow me quietly, and don't make any other noise." Zhu Houzhao inspected the charcoal stove and other things carefully, and ordered.

Liu Jin sternly warned the little eunuchs about Zhu Houzhao's words, and then directed the little eunuchs to carry the charcoal stove to the gate of Qianqing Palace.He also handed over two old blue futons to Zhu Houzhao.Only then did Liu Wei run over panting. "Follow me, don't talk, and pretend to be cowardly." After Zhu Houzhao gave orders, Liu Weizhao walked towards the kneeling Mrs. Zhang with two futons in his arms.
