I am the county magistrate in Daming

"Hey, isn't this the son of Ma Shangshu's family?"

"Really, why did you sleep on the street?"

"Go to Mr. Ma's mansion and invite someone over."

When it was almost dawn, the guard Ding who was knocked out by Zhu Jingshou woke up slowly.The boy in the lead touched his still aching head, opened his eyes and stood up.

Only then did he realize that there were already a circle of people around, pointing and talking at them.

"What are you looking at!" He had a wicked look on his face, "Be careful that my young master digs your eyes out!"

"Who is speaking rudely!" A loud and powerful voice came from behind the crowd.

Immediately, the onlookers automatically made way for the carriage to drive in slowly.Smart people can see that this is Mr. Ma's car, and leave early to avoid getting burned.Those who were not afraid of Ma Shangshu stayed where they were and continued to watch jokes.

"Where are you from, do you know who our young master is!" The boy couldn't stand still, but still shouted, "Get out of the carriage as soon as you can, and give me a few bangs!"

Ma Wensheng was sitting in the carriage, his beard trembling with anger.Not long after he came to the imperial court, he finally had nothing serious to do with the bureaucracy today, so he could rest and rest. Unexpectedly, something happened to his son.He opened the door curtain, without even using a cane, and strode out.

Seeing this, the accompanying guards hurried forward, held down the young man and began to slap his mouth.

"Insulting the court officials, [-] slaps!"

"Old man, old man?!!!" The boy was so frightened that he woke up from the wine, knelt on the ground trembling, and looked at the extremely angry Ma Wensheng.

"As the son's personal servant, you don't persuade your master to be kind, and you bully others with your power." Ma Wensheng said angrily.

As expected of an important minister of the four dynasties, his speech was also very in-depth. In a few words, he put all the blame on the young servant, and told the spectators that it was the young servant who instigated Ma Jie, not Ma Jie's intentional mistakes.

"Tie everyone up and go home!"

Zhu Youtang heard that the Empress Dowager wanted Mu Qingtian to be the prince's accompanying student, so he agreed without saying a word, and also allowed Mu Qingtian to live in the prince's east palace, and accompany the prince to study and have fun.

"Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness King Qing has arrived." The maid stepped forward and whispered in Empress Dowager Zhou's ear.

The Queen Mother's eyelids twitched, and she asked, "How many days are you?"

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, it will take more than ten days."

"Tell King Qing that Ai's family is exhausted today, so I can't see you."

This kid has never run so hard before, why does he suddenly miss her as an old man, running every day like Dianmao.

"By the way, you go to the East Palace again and ask Mu Qingtian to bring the prince over."

The Empress Dowager Zhou looked at her face carefully with a bronze mirror, and smiled.

"Mu Qingtian really has some skills. After using his prescription, Aijia is getting younger every day."

Zhu Jingshou ate at the Empress Dowager's house and went directly to the Hall of Martial Arts.

"Your Majesty, His Highness King Qing is asking to see you." The servant trotted in and said.

Zhu Youtang put down the memorial, his face full of indifference.

"Xuan."

"See you, King Xuanqing!"

Zhu Jingshou came in with two boxes of pastries, handed them to the eunuch who was waiting, took off his cloak and put them on the chair.

"My brother pays respects to the emperor."

"Don't." Zhu Youtang waved back the palace man, pulled out his ears and glanced at his younger brother, "Say it every day, you are not tired, but I still think my ears are blocked."

"Why didn't you go to the Queen Mother so early today?"

Zhu Jingshou scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "The Queen Mother didn't see me."

Zhu Youtang was heartbroken. If he had known that he would learn from the Empress Dowager, he would stop, no see!

"In the past, you didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment, how did you change recently?" Zhu Youtang asked knowingly.

"If you're really too busy, why not go to court early, so that you can share your worries with me, brother."

It is impossible to go to court, and the good time is used to enhance the relationship with Qingqing, not to listen to those old men arguing with each other.

"My younger brother is new here, so he doesn't understand anything if he rushes to court." Zhu Jingshou said modestly.

Zhu Youtang snorted coldly: "Don't understand? I think you are very clear."

"The lesson of the emperor's brother is."

The queen mother didn't know the relationship between Zhu Jingshou and Mu Qingtian, but Zhu Youtang knew it all.My younger brother ran to the palace all day long because he wanted to meet his sweetheart, and even used the queen mother and prince as shields.

Zhu Youtang changed his mind, and felt that it was necessary to use Mu Qingtian to get some favors from his younger brother.

"Look at these papers first." He raised his hand to copy a few papers that had not yet been reviewed, and accurately threw them into Zhu Jingshou's arms.

Zhu Jingshou's expression changed suddenly, and he knelt down and said, "I am not allowed to get involved in important affairs of the state."

"Just let you see, there is so much nonsense."

Only then did Zhu Jingshou feel relieved to open the memorial, and was relieved to find that it was not about the imperial court.

"Liang Fang? What is he asking to go to Beijing for?"

In the 23rd year of Chenghua, when Zhu Youtang succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to deal with a series of treacherous officials such as Li Zisheng and Liang Fang.Li Zixing was sent to prison, while Liang Fang was demoted to Nanjing.

"There are others, you have a look."

Zhu Jingshou opened other notebooks and found that without exception, they were all greetings, with the meaning of wanting to go to Beijing revealed inside and outside the words.

If there is no transfer, going to Beijing years ago can only be specially called by the emperor, such as Mu Qingtian, or to participate in family banquets.

Sometimes the emperor is in a good mood, thinking of some officials who have been transferred or have already retired, thinking of their past contributions to the court, he will post a family banquet and invite them to Beijing.

"Liang Fang has kept herself safe for many years..." Zhu Jingshou didn't finish his sentence, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Youtang.

If he hadn't heard that there was some disturbance in the court, he would never have been so careless.

"I want to build the Yuxiu Pavilion." Zhu Youtang said suddenly, pointing the table with his hands up and down.

Zhu Jingshou didn't know the cause and effect, so he didn't answer.Fortunately, Zhu Youtang didn't continue talking, and changed the topic.

"I still want to visit the empress and prince in Japan today, but there are so many memorials to approve." Zhu Youtang shook his head in "pain".

"It seems that there are endless approvals, so I can only wait until tomorrow."

Zhu Jingshou was in a hurry.

The queen mother didn't see him, and he couldn't enter and leave the harem at will without Zhu Youtang taking him with him.

Wouldn't that plan be in vain!

"The emperor's hard work is a model for the world." Such a small memorial must be nothing to worry about!

"Oh, it's difficult—" Zhu Youtang propped his chin, and glanced at his younger brother.

……

"Liang Fang and others are really hateful. They know that the emperor has worked hard, but they still come to stir up trouble. My brother thinks that these excerpts, the emperor, don't need to read, and let the ministers reply on their behalf." Zhu Jingshou said through gritted teeth.

"Okay! You are indeed my own brother." Zhu Youtang smiled and asked the eunuch to bring a stack of memorials.

Zhu Jingshou looked at the pile of small notebooks in front of him, and said with a smirk, "It's my brother's honor to be able to share the worries of the emperor."

In order to see Qingqing, he endured it!Isn't it just a book, he approves it!

Afterwards, the minister who wrote to greet him received a reply from the emperor very quickly, even several days faster than usual.They excitedly opened the booklet, and there was only a red "read" on it.Some went too far, writing full articles eloquently, and got a "nonsense".

Mu Qingtian was nursing the baby in the East Palace, living a leisurely life.It's just that I can't see Zhu Jingshou, and I still miss him a little bit.They haven't been separated for such a long time since last year, and he's even gotten used to playing hooligans with Zhu Jingshou by his side every day.

"Ugh……"

Xiao Houzhao ran over on short legs, and pressed his fleshy paws on Mu Qingtian's forehead with a "paji".

"Happy!" He was cheerful, like a small glutinous rice ball filled with sweet sesame seeds.

so cute! !Mu Qingtian screamed inwardly.Who is Zhu Jingshou?do not know!

"Fly!" Mu Qingtian picked up Zhu Houzhao and held it high.

The nanny looked frightened and blamed: "Master, be careful, what if you fall down on His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The smile on Mu Qingtian's face faded a little, he hugged Zhu Houzhao, and turned his head to look at the nanny.

"I have a sense of proportion."

The nanny's complexion was very bad, and she stared at the backs of Mu Qingtian and the prince with gloomy eyes.

Zhu Jingshou was exhausted, and finally finished approving the papers.

"With your help, it really does get twice the result with half the effort." Zhu Youtang stood up and stretched his body.

When the two brothers from the Zhu family arrived at the East Palace, Mu Qingtian was making dough with Xiao Houzhao.

Zhu Youtang glanced over from the corner of his eye, and wanted to laugh when he saw his younger brother's jealous and magnanimous expression.

Mu Qingtian stood up abruptly, with his hands behind his back, very cautious, like a primary school student about to be criticized by the teacher.

Zhu Houzhao raised his head suspiciously, waved his little hand and said, "Mu Mu, keep playing."

"I'm guilty of a crime. I didn't know the emperor was coming, so I was far away to welcome you." Mu Qingtian stepped forward respectfully and saluted.

"Mu Aiqing is exempt."

"Zhao'er, come to the emperor's side." Zhu Youtang smiled lovingly.

Zhu Houzhao immediately put down the dough after hearing his father's voice, and ran over to salute Zhu Youtang.

Zhu Youtang stretched out his hand to hug him, but in vain.The prince ran back to Mu Qingtian without looking back, continuing to knead dough.

... so jealous.

Now it was Zhu Jingshou's turn to laugh at his brother.

"Why are you standing at the door?" Queen Zhang came from behind.

After entering the hall, the stingy Zhu Jingshou sat down between his nephew and Mu Qingtian.

Zhu Houzhao still wanted to talk to Mu Qingtian, but there was an uncle in the way, so he couldn't see it no matter how he looked, he curled his mouth.

Empress Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she quickly hugged the prince and put it on her lap, saying: "How old is he, he even eats children's jealousy."

Mu Qingtian blushed suddenly.

Zhu Youtang was afraid that the crown prince would hurt the empress because he was immodest, so he said, "Let me do it."

Empress Zhang smiled gently and asked Zhu Youtang to take the prince away.

"Okay, today is the family banquet before the Chinese New Year." Zhu Youtang teased the prince, "They are all from my own family, so Mu Aiqing doesn't have to be restrained."

"Mu Mu, Mu Mu." Zhu Houzhao couldn't stop laughing.

Mu Qingtian was flattered and looked up at the emperor and empress.

They are like Zhu Jingshou's elders, kind and gentle.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Thank you, Queen." His eyes were slightly warm, and he also showed a sincere smile.

After eating a lot, Zhu Youtang drank some wine and became slightly tipsy.Empress Zhang is also in poor health and cannot continue to take care of Zhu Houzhao.

Mu Qingtian was very clever, and said: "The emperor and the empress go to rest, the minister will take good care of the prince."

Zhu Jingshou didn't want to separate from Mu Qingtian so soon, and said, "I haven't seen Zhao'er for a long time, so take him to the pasture for a run before the ground freezes and it's still warm."

"Alright." Zhu Youtang nodded, helping the queen to get up.

"See you later, father and mother." Zhu Houzhao said goodbye to them obediently.

The drunk man was obviously the emperor, but he didn't walk like a drunk at all, and when he passed the steps, he reminded the queen, "Zitong be careful, slow down."

Mu Qingtian picked up the sesame dumpling and asked softly, "Is the prince sleepy?"

"Not sleepy!" Zhu Houzhao raised his hands energetically, "I want to ride a big horse!"

As the crown prince and future emperor, neither civil nor military can be left behind.The Taifu was in charge of teaching knowledge, while horseback riding and archery were handed over to his uncle Zhu Jingshou.

It's just that the war was very tense in the past few years, Zhu Jingshou only taught for a few months, and then left Shuntian Mansion and didn't come back for a long time.

Zhu Houzhao is very smart and almost has a photographic memory.He still remembered that Zhu Jingshou was his uncle, who used to take him to play with swords.

"Then let's go now." Zhu Jingshou patted his little nephew's head.

At this time, the nanny appeared out of nowhere again.But facing King Qing, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"His Royal Highness King Qing, the crown prince is still young, so he must sleep for a while at noon every day."

"It's windy outside, and the servants are afraid that the prince will catch the wind and cold."

Zhu Jingshou couldn't tell that the nurse had something to say, and immediately became angry.

"You mean that this king can't take good care of the prince? Or, do you think this king did it on purpose to harm the prince?"

The nanny shuddered, knelt down and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

Mu Qingtian has long seen that the nanny's character is not good, and she usually doesn't care too much about being ridiculed by her, and doesn't bother to talk to her.It's not worth making Zhu Jingshou angry for this kind of person.

He tugged on Raju Jingshou's sleeve, trying to calm him down.

Seeing Mu Qingtian's actions, Zhu Jingshou became even angrier.The nanny dared to say that when he was around, if not, wouldn't Mu Qingtian be angry with her every day!

"Get out."

"Thank you, my lord, for not killing me, thank you, my lord." The nanny ran out disheartened.

Externally, Zhu Jingshou is a hungry wolf; internally, he is a pervert.

He was furious just now, but in an instant he turned into a little milk wolf, whimpering behind Mu Qingtian's back.

"This king is angry, so I need to be kissed by Qingqing." He smiled and kissed Mu Qingtian's neck.

Mu Qingtian hadn't been close to Zhu Jingshou for a long time, and at first glance, he seemed to be electrified.He blushed and struggled, trying to push away Zhu Jingshou's sticky head.

"The prince is watching, you should be serious."

Zhu Jingshou didn't listen, and looked up at Zhu Houzhao, who was biting his finger and staring at them curiously.

"Enlighten him early."

Mu Qingtian couldn't resist Zhu Jingshou, so he stretched out his hands to cover Zhu Houzhao's eyes with difficulty, and turned around to kiss Zhu Jingshou inseparably.

After digesting for an hour, Mu Qingtian put warm clothes on Zhu Houzhao, and put a small heater in the interlayer of the cotton clothes.Zhu Jingshou squatted down, let his nephew ride on his neck, and stood up abruptly.

"Be careful!" Mu Qingtian's heart was raised in his throat.

Who knew that Zhu Houzhao was not afraid at all, and smiled even more happily.

"Don't worry." Zhu Jingshou turned around and gave him a wink, "I know my nephew."

"Is Zhao'er the bravest person!"

"Yes! Zhao'er is the bravest!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hands in joy.

Mu Qingtian helplessly looked at the older and younger children having fun in front of him, lowered his head and smiled, and ran over.

"Slow down!"

Among the three, Mu Qingtian had the lowest status, so he was responsible for leading the horses and watching them.

"Zhao'er, do you want to learn swordsmanship?"

"Think!" Zhu Houzhao's eyes sparkled.

Zhu Jingshou squatted down, with a sinister smile on his face, and secretly said a few words to his nephew.

Not long after, Mu Qingtian came back with three horses.Zhu Houzhao has a pony that belongs to him. He hasn't seen him for a long time, but he still remembers the name he gave the pony.

"Ride the wind, run!"

Even the horse and the people rushed out all the way.

Mu Qingtian was frightened half to death, and hurried to catch up on horseback.Zhu Jingshou waved his whip regretfully, and caught up with the two people in front.

If he had known that he would not teach Mu Qingtian how to ride a horse in Chongming County, now he couldn't ride a horse with him in an open and honest manner, so much less fun.

In fact, it seems to be good right now?At least Mu Qingtian couldn't escape even if he wanted to... Thinking about it, Zhu Jingshou unexpectedly reacted.

The pony's speed was not fast, and Mu Qingtian quickly caught up, half a body behind Zhu Houzhao.

"Auntie, let's compete!"

Mu Qingtian thought he heard it wrong.

"What did you just call me?"

"Aunt." Zhu Houzhao turned around and smiled sweetly, "Shall we come to the competition?"

Zhu Jingshou heard Mu Qingtian and Zhu Houzhao discussing when he came walking his horse.

"Mu Mu."

"Mumu, uh... Auntie!"

"It's Mumu, not aunt."

"aunt."

Zhu Jingshou stomped on the pedals with a smile, jumped to sit behind Mu Qingtian, and said, "Isn't my aunt doing well?"

Mu Qingtian yelled at him and said, "You taught the prince to say that."

Zhu Jingshou covered his ribs and stole a scent on Mu Qingtian's face.

"Anyway, it's going to be called sooner or later, so let's learn first."

"You are not afraid that he will slip up!" Mu Qingtian said anxiously in a low voice.

"No, Zhao'er is very smart, isn't he?" Zhu Jingshou winked at his nephew.

"Zhaoer is smart!"

Mu Qingtian really convinced the Zhu family.Since Zhu Jingshou said it was fine, he didn't talk too much.

After running for a while, Zhu Jingshou went to teach Zhu Houzhao how to use a sword as agreed, while Mu Qingtian looked at the two people not far away with his chin on his hands.

There are cold words in the history books, but now all the people in front of him are real people.Zhu Houzhao is smart and cute, maybe he can help.

In the next few days, relying on his nephew's liking, Zhu Jingshou even skipped the steps of meeting Zhu Youtang and the Queen Mother, and went straight to the East Palace.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Jingshou heard his nephew crying heartbreakingly, the nanny was coaxing beside him, and Mu Qingtian rarely ignored Zhu Houzhao.

"What's going on here?" Zhu Jingshou walked over with a heavy step.

Just as the nanny was about to complain, Zhu Jingshou threw her out.The nanny felt unbalanced, so she went to Renshou Palace.

"Zhao'er, a man, don't shed tears lightly." Zhu Jingshou comforted his nephew, raised his head and asked Mu Qingtian with his eyes what happened?

"Prince, you promised me yesterday." Mu Qingtian watched Zhu Houzhao's face wrinkled from tears, and couldn't bear it in his heart, but he couldn't just indulge and dote on him.

"What did Zhao'er promise my aunt? Tell my uncle, okay?"

"Gu, Gu hiccup." Zhu Houzhao wiped away his tears, and glared at Mu Qingtian angrily, "Gu didn't forget, it's Gu's mistake!"

After speaking, he ran away angrily.

After Xiaozong's death, Zhu Houzhao inherited the throne logically.But he didn't care about state affairs, he favored the eunuch Liu Jin, and played with them in the "Leopard Room" all day long, so that later King Pingning and King Anhua rebelled.

The eunuch Liu Jin confused the imperial court and laid the groundwork for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

Mu Qingtian didn't want Zhu Houzhao to become what the history books said, so he taught him the way of being a king with all his heart, hoping to change him.

Zhu Houzhao made an appointment with him yesterday, and today he will not go to the pasture to play, and will stay in the study to study.But when the time came, Mu Qingtian went to the study room, but he didn't even see Zhu Houzhao's figure. When he asked, he went to the pasture again.

"He's still young, just at the age of being playful." Zhu Jingshou didn't understand why Mu Qingtian had such high demands on the prince. "Both the emperor's brother and the emperor's wife are sensible people, and they won't let him go astray."

Mu Qingtian didn't know how to explain.Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youtang died young, so he couldn't teach Zhu Houzhao anything.

"So, tomorrow I will supervise Zhao'er with you, okay?" Zhu Jingshou said.

In the end, Mu Qingtian sighed and said, "I was the one who was in a hurry."

When the queen mother heard that Mu Qingtian was arguing with the prince, she immediately ordered someone to punish the nanny.

"Last time, Ai's family didn't care about it, so you dare to come here!"

"The empress dowager, please forgive me!"

The nanny was dragged down by the palace servants, and the eldest maid said: "Queen Mother, this lowly servant girl is right to sow discord, but Master Mu is not innocent either."

The queen mother sighed, and said, "Come and rub the Ai family."

"Yes."

"The grandson of the Ai family can do whatever he wants, but Mu Qingtian has exceeded the rules."

Before Mu Qingtian could apologize to Zhu Houzhao, the Empress Dowager ordered him to be dismissed from the official post as a companion and let him leave the palace immediately.

"Is it all God's will..." Mu Qingtian looked at the magnificent palace behind him.

Zhu Jingshou helped Mu Qingtian bring an apology to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao no longer blames Mu Qingtian for what worries a child can remember. He even reflected on himself and decided to read a book to Mu Qingtian.As a result, the last quarrel turned into the last side between them.

"Nurse, where's Mu Mu?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"If you go back to His Highness, Lord Mu has gone out of the palace and will not come back again."

Zhu Houzhao leaned in the nurse's arms in despair.

"Master Mu is not here, but there are servants, and servants will always be with His Highness."

Zhu Jingshou went to the East Palace for a few more days.When he returned to the palace, his face was solemn.

"What's wrong, something happened to the prince?" Mu Qingtian asked nervously.

Zhu Jingshou shook his head and said, "Yes, and no."

Zhu Houzhao is determined to learn, the light in his eyes does not seem to be fake.But on the second day, Zhu Jingshou would always find Zhu Houzhao playing with the palace people in the pasture.

It was as if some invisible force was pulling him, and pulling everyone.

Mu Qingtian's heart sank to the bottom.

It is history, history that cannot be changed.No matter how hard he tries, history will be corrected to the right track.

"Don't worry, Zhao'er has her own opinion." Zhu Jingshou comforted Mu Qingtian with his arms around her.

"Ah."

"Speaking of it." Zhu Jingshou's tone was a little subtle, "I seem to have forgotten something."

Ma Jie, who was drinking flowers/wine in Qing/lou, trembled.

"Master, a letter from Prince Qing's Mansion." The butler hurried over.

Ma Wensheng was very puzzled and said, "A letter from King Qing?"

He opened the envelope and read it carefully—the whole story was about his son Ma Jie, and he himself was mentioned at the end.

【Is Ma Shangshu too busy, so busy that he doesn't have time to sit in the palace. 】

Ma Wensheng's heart skipped a beat, and he said to the housekeeper, "Where is your son?"

The housekeeper was very embarrassed, but finally told the truth.

"Young Master is in Lanxiufang..."

"You bastard!" Ma Wensheng yelled at the case, "You have caused such a big trouble, and you dare to have fun!"

"Master calm down, I'll ask someone to invite the young master back."

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Zhu Youtang: You even eat vinegar from your nephew? !

Zhu Jingshou: You even eat jealous of your sister-in-law? !

Mu Qingtian, Queen Zhang: Shut up both of you.
