[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Chapter 32 The 9th Year of Hongzhi

Zhu Houzhao finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou throwing his sleeves away.Zhu Youtang also stood up, exhaled and said to the people kneeling here: "You all get up, Zhou Tang, come with me." Then he said softly to Mrs. Zhang: "Songling, go back first. You are still pregnant, let’s talk about today’s matter later.”

Mrs. Zhang also knew that her body would not allow her to be entangled in this matter any longer, so she bowed and said: "The concubine resigns." After speaking, she staggered and was about to stand up. Suyue and Zhu Houzhao who were kneeling next to her were busy Stand up and support her.Seeing that Mrs. Zhang had stood up, Zhu Houzhao also saluted, "I will take my leave."

Seeing that the master had retreated, Liu Jin and the others hurriedly carried Ruanyu over.Zhu Houzhao first sent Mrs. Zhang to Ruanyu, and asked Mrs. Zhang in detail. After seeing that her body was indeed still able to hold on, she was sent to the Kunning Palace by the eunuchs.Zhu Houzhao himself then got on the soft seat and followed him back.

Zhu Youtang watched Zhang Shi and Zhu Houzhao leave at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, but turned around and entered the palace when they disappeared.Zhou Tang shrank at the door, not knowing whether he should go in or not.Seeing his appearance, Jiang Cong felt amused, but he was still the eldest son of Uncle Changning, so he still wanted to show some face, and he still said cautiously: "My son, go in quickly, the emperor will be waiting in a hurry."

Zhou Tang heard this, and hurriedly walked inside, but he didn't notice that a dog ate shit when he tripped over the threshold.Seeing that a 40-year-old man behaved like this, Jiang Cong thought to himself that he really is a nouveau riche, and that the dignified son he raised actually looks like this.Jiang Cong helped him up with a suppressed smile, pretending to be concerned and asked, "Is your son alright?"

Zhou Tang hurriedly thanked: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I was not careful. Thank you Eunuch Jiang for your concern." After speaking, he continued to walk into the palace in a daze.

Mrs. Zhang knelt for almost an hour, Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't dare to be careless, and ordered the eunuchs to walk steadily all the way.Arriving at the Kunning Palace smoothly, Gao Feng prepared a soft couch, and immediately picked up Mrs. Zhang and carried her inside.The imperial doctor was also called over, and after a careful inspection, it was confirmed that Mrs. Zhang had just caught a cold, and after being a little startled and nothing serious, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Hou took care of the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription, and asked him for the medicine for bruising, and then asked Gao Feng to send the imperial physician out.Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Jin to quickly go to Tai Hospital to get medicine.After doing everything well, Zhu Houzhao had time to sit down and talk to Mrs. Zhang.

Ji Yue and the others were applying medicine to the bruise on Zhang's knee.After kneeling for nearly an hour, although Zhu Houzhao later sent a futon, Zhang's knees still had a thin layer of blue.

Seeing that the medicine was almost wiped off, Mrs. Zhang sent all the surrounding people out.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the small son in front of her eyes and sighed: "How can you mention these things today, isn't your uncle even more incapable of getting away?"

Zhu Houzhao took a close look at Zhang's face. Zhang is only in his twenties now, and his skin is so white and tender that he doesn't look old at all.She was pampered by Zhu Youtang again, and she still looked like a girl at all.Such a comfortable life made Zhang gradually forget the sufferings of his childhood, and he did not have a broader political vision.

"Then mother thinks it's enough to make troubles for uncles again and again?" Zhu Houzhao has long lost patience with such things, causing troubles again and again. They pay for their mistakes.

Why doesn't Mrs. Zhang know that she shouldn't do this.But his father passed away early, and he was the eldest sister, so if he didn't drag them around, who would care about them.

In terms of doting on their younger brother, the Zhou family and the Zhang family are actually reaching the same goal by different routes.The difference is that Mrs. Zhang only needs to take care of her younger brother, while Mrs. Zhou also needs to take care of several big families.Mrs. Zhang knew that what her younger brothers did was wrong, so she could only hope that Zhu Youtang would forgive them for her sake when they got into trouble.However, Mrs. Zhou never felt that what the big family behind her did was wrong, and she even connived at them to do more. Every time something happened, she would use her status and previous kindness to pressure Zhu Youtang.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her son who was questioning her, and said helplessly, "They are your uncles, they are my own younger brothers. If Wei'er gets into trouble, don't you have the heart for him to be punished?"

Zhu Houzhao silently lit a candle for his short-term mother in his heart. "Mom, I won't let my brother be punished." Zhu Hou looked firmly into Zhang's eyes and said firmly, "Because if he wants to make a mistake, I will be the first to deal with him."

Zhang looked at him in astonishment, "Why do you think so?"

"Mother, if Wei'er is still young, the mistake he's making now is just smashing something and throwing a temper tantrum. But when he grows up? Can mother still protect him for the rest of his life?" Zhu Houzhao understood why history Once his father dies, he is like a wild horse that has run free.It's purely because there is such a protective mother.

Mrs. Zhang was speechless by Zhu Houzhao's words, but now she also feels wronged. "I am in the deep palace, how can I advise them from time to time? Your grandmother is just a peasant girl. If they do things, your grandmother dare not say a word, and your grandfather died young. Who can control them. My sister is the only one. All I can do is to help them when they make mistakes."

The charcoal stove at Zhang's feet was somewhat extinguished, and Zhu Houzhao put the charcoal in one by one.The charcoal is the best silver silk charcoal, and there is no smoke when it burns. "Mother, don't you understand what I mean? Uncle and the others make mistakes again and again, but it's just because there is a queen sister to clean up for them. It's what you call "helping" when they make mistakes again and again killed them."

Mrs. Zhang is completely speechless, has she ever thought about it?Maybe she thought about it, but she regressed under the entreaties of her younger brothers and mothers.Perhaps this also brought her some small vanity. The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Now that she is a queen, doesn't she have the right to let her family live "recklessly"?

Zhu Houzhao stared at the small piece of charcoal he threw in last.It lay in the raging dark fire, burning rapidly, and soon turned into fly ash. "Mother, the Zhang family is a foreign relative, and the disciples in the family have nothing to do, and they don't have the blessing of culture, morality and martial arts. Now, can the emperor bear it? Can the emperor bear it? Can I bear it? Or maybe I see it because of my mother Let them go, what about the next generation of emperors?"

Zhu Houzhao's immature voice echoed lightly in the bustling palace of Kunning Palace, becoming the last straw that overwhelmed the Zhang family.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Mrs. Zhang who was covering her mouth and crying, and couldn't bear it.But he knew that if he comforted him, his efforts tonight would be in vain.Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a long time, and the thousands of words turned into a sigh, trying to stand on tiptoe and stroke Zhang's back with his small hands, hoping that he could give her strength.

Mrs. Zhang seemed to cry out all the grievances she had suffered for her natal family over the years, so she hugged Zhu Houzhao suddenly and couldn't hold back her tears.

Zhu Houzhao didn't like it either. The Zhang family was born a commoner, so he didn't know the struggle and filth in the front and back palaces.After marrying Zhu Houzhao, she was pampered by Zhu Houzhao again. Speaking of which, she was not as scheming as the little sisters in Zhu Houzhao's previous company.Perhaps the biggest grievances in her life were the doubts about having no children at first and the Zhou family who always wanted to seduce Zhu You with a woman.

And these two grievances are not big grievances.Mrs. Zhang has already given birth to two sons for Zhu Youtang, and she is pregnant with another, so the infertility rumors are naturally self-defeating.Although the Zhou family wanted to give Zhu Youtang a woman, but Zhu Youtang has always kept himself clean, so it is not a big problem.

Although Mrs. Zhang is a little naive, and as a queen she really lacks political wisdom, she is indeed a good mother who is one in a thousand, and Zhu Houzhao deserves to call her "mother".Cry, cry, it will be fine if you cry, let us solve these problems, your purity is guarded by father and me.Zhu Houzhao swore secretly in his heart.

After crying for a long time, Mrs. Zhang stopped her tears.Zhu Houzhao wiped her tears with the handkerchief he brought, only then did Zhang realize that she had been crying for a long time holding her immature son, she took the handkerchief Zhu Houzhao had wiped her tears with, and smiled at Zhu Houzhao in embarrassment .

"Okay, you brat, you made me cry for so long." Mrs. Zhang is good at this, she has a lively temperament, and she will correct her mistakes when she knows that she is wrong, and she will not blame others. "I know what to do about your uncle. Don't worry, I will never soften my heart again."

Suddenly something soft and warm was printed on Zhang's face. Zhang covered her face in surprise and looked at Zhu Houzhao, who lowered her head because of embarrassment, smiled sweetly, and gently printed it on the face of her darling. a kiss.

Zhang Heling found that something was wrong.He thought that his queen sister would be able to make this big and small matter as usual.But now even Jin Yiwei's guards are dispatched, the situation is urgent, but there is no news from the palace.

Zhang Heling paced back and forth in the study, anxiously waiting for his family members to inquire about the news.Even the concubine who was the most favored recently brought the freshly stewed Cordyceps and black chicken soup to invite her, but he was driven out impatiently.

After finally waiting for the family members who ran back out of breath, Zhang Heling hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to the family member named Zhang Rui. "Tell me, what news is there in the palace?"

"The usual Eunuch Liang only said that there were too many things to do, and ignored the villain at all. The villain went to find Eunuch Qi again, and Eunuch Qi didn't want to talk too much at first. Quietly tell the villain. The day before yesterday, the empress knelt down to plead guilty to the emperor, she became pregnant, and heard that the prince in her belly... probably cannot be saved." Zhang Rui raised his head and took a sneak peek at Zhang Heling, and found that his entire face was distorted , and immediately lowered his head in fear.

Zhang Heling was so shocked by the news that his hands trembled. He tremblingly picked up a cup of tea and brought it to his mouth, only to find that the cup was empty.Angrily, he directly threw the empty teacup on the ground, and yelled to cover up his panic: "Everyone is dead, can't Master Ben Hou even drink a cup of hot tea!"

How come, it's always done like this!Why is this happening this time?Without his queen sister, what should he do to get rid of the crime?The more Zhang Heling thought about it, the more frightened he became. Siyue burned the ground dragon's house, but he felt as if his whole body was covered in ice.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration - and his own younger brother, the younger brother has always been the most capable.

The author has something to say: Today I found that the order of Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling was wrong, so I edited the article.Zhang's name is not recorded in history, the author speculates based on Songhe Yannian
