The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 45

[45.Chapter 45 The Emperor’s Grace]

Zhu Houzhao looked at the Shang Fang sword lying in front of Fang Jifan, and suddenly had an unknown premonition. Now he had completely ruled out the possibility that his father was his biological father. He couldn’t help but cover his head. My heart, subconsciously, felt that my heart hurt very much!

Yang Tinghe and others were also stunned, and for a moment, they were caught off guard.

Thinking about it carefully, some people’s eyes lit up. Yes, if the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, things will not happen. Beating the prince for nothing is a major crime of bullying. But now it seems that beating the prince has a significant effect. Look, Isn’t the prince more normal now? If you want the crown prince to become a wise king, since Fang Jifan’s method is effective, then give him a sword and let him beat the crown prince legitimately. Isn’t this… the best of both worlds?

Your Majesty is really far-reaching and unpredictable. I admire you, I admire you!

Fang Jifan stared straight at Yu Jian, dumbfounded, and couldn’t help but said: “Is this… this… really okay? Your Majesty won’t be surprised.”

“Put away the sword quickly.” Emperor Hongzhi pointed the sword towards Fang Jifan Fan pushed his chest: “Don’t worry, you must do your best.”

“Do your best…” This sounds a bit weird…

The changes in this matter are really like a roller coaster, and Fang Jifan doesn’t mind. You’re welcome, I sighed in my heart. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was a naughty kid who hated ghosts. Beating him seemed to be a matter of universal celebration, so Fang Jifan relaxed and took the sword with both hands.

Holding this heavy sword in his hand seemed to give Fang Jifan unparalleled confidence: “I… thank you, Your Majesty. I will continue to work hard, work hard, and do my best!”

Huh…

I feel good.

But at this moment, a eunuch outside shouted: “The Queen has arrived… Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived…”

It turned out that the Emperor Long Yan was furious, and Liu Jin rushed to Kunning Palace to report to Queen Zhang. went.

Empress Zhang only has such a precious son. She was teaching the eldest princess Nvhong in Kunning Palace. When she heard this, she thought it was a big deal. The emperor made a big mistake. Don’t let the emperor get confused and make a mistake. Come.

Speaking of Empress Zhang, apart from Empress Zhang, there were no other concubines in Emperor Hongzhi’s harem. The couple had a deep relationship, and Empress Zhang was also very virtuous. The emperor wanted to promote frugality, so she set an example in the harem, weaved cloth herself, and cut down the expenses in the palace. She can be said to be a model of maternal etiquette in the world, but only The only thing is to protect shortcomings.

Now the emperor made it clear that he wanted to beat the prince, but she refused to obey, and she didn’t care about the etiquette of the harem. She hurried over with dozens of maids and officials, as well as the eldest princess who was also a nun.

Before the ministers in the Minglun Hall got up to say goodbye, Queen Zhang had already walked in quickly. Her phoenix eyes first looked for Zhu Houzhao. She was relieved when she saw that Zhu Houzhao was fine. She looked beautiful, but she was by no means a stunning beauty. It was just It gives people a sense of dignity and reveals a close-knit temperament.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao saw the patron coming, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, “I have seen the queen mother.”

Empress Zhang helped Zhu Houzhao up distressedly and looked him up and down: “Your Majesty, you have offended your father again. Are you angry? Have you apologized? “

Zhu Houzhao said hurriedly: “I didn’t provoke my father.”

Fang Jifan laughed in his heart after hearing Queen Zhang’s words. Queen Zhang was a very smart person and asked Zhu Houzhao who he was. It’s not that the emperor was angry. The next sentence was to ask if he had apologized. It is estimated that as long as Zhu Houzhao said yes, then the matter could be cleared up. It was a violation of heaven’s rules. Empress Zhang would probably say to the emperor, Your Majesty. , This is the fault of the prince, but since he has acknowledged his mistake and made amends, Your Majesty should not be angry.

Empress Zhang obviously didn’t expect Zhu Houzhao to be so stubborn, but she just smiled and said: “As long as nothing happens, I’m here because your great-grandmother just remembered you and asked you to go see me quickly, Your Majesty, You are the Empress Dowager’s sweetheart. You should not idle around much. When you have time, you should be in front of the Empress Dowager to relieve her boredom. “The Empress Dowager, you are the one who feels the most distressed.

“

Emperor Hongzhi lost his temper at all.

Empress Zhang meant that she came here not to cause trouble, nor to save this precious son, but because the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to see her grandson.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi not only said that his anger was gone now, but also that he was very happy. Even if he really wanted to beat Zhu Houzhao to death, he would have to weigh the weight of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Emperor Hongzhi was born to a palace maid, and in the harem, Emperor Hongzhi’s father only doted on Concubine Wan Gui. Concubine Wan Gui regarded the young Emperor Hongzhi as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. It can be said that Emperor Hongzhi’s childhood , is extremely miserable, even to the point of being precarious.

But at this time, Emperor Hongzhi’s grandmother, the Empress Dowager Zhou of the Chenghua Dynasty, learned about this and made a prompt decision to take the young Emperor Hongzhi to Renshou Palace to raise him. With the protection of this grandmother, then Concubine Wan Gui no longer dared to do anything to Emperor Hongzhi. In Renshou Palace, it was Emperor Hongzhi’s grandmother who taught him reading and the principles of life. At that time, Emperor Chenghua was confused and the palace was dark. Concubine Wan Gui was the only one who doted on him at a young age. Emperor Hongzhi only got a touch of warmth from this grandmother.

So after Emperor Hongzhi came to the throne, he was very filial to the Empress Dowager Zhou. If something happened to make Zhou unhappy, Emperor Hongzhi would be worried. Even Zhou caused a small incident, and Emperor Hongzhi was also worried. He would wait in front of the couch day and night, not daring to close his eyes and rest.

Now Queen Zhang only said that the Zhou family missed her grandson, so what else could she say? Even if the sky fell, Emperor Hongzhi would not dare to intervene.

And Empress Zhang, a woman, brought so many people to Zhan Shifu. In the eyes of others, this somewhat meant that a woman was protecting her shortcomings.

But when she sacrificed the Zhou family, no one dared to talk too much.

This is filial piety. It is proper for a great-grandson to honor his grandmother. Empress Zhang is her grandson’s daughter-in-law. Now her grandmother misses her grandson so much. Why, in order to avoid longing for her and getting sick, why can’t Empress Zhang coming?

Fang Jifan finally saw how powerful this empress was, and with just a few words, everyone lost their temper.

Holding Zhu Houzhao in hand, Queen Zhang still seemed uneasy, and deliberately emphasized her tone: “Your Majesty, just pretend that nothing has happened. Later, don’t really have anything happen to frighten your great-grandmother.”

At this time, Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips. He kept his mouth shut and deliberately did not answer.

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless, and finally a sentence came out of his mouth: “Ahem…nothing, nothing, Houzhao, go to Renshou Palace to say hello, go quickly.”

Zhu Houzhao could only say: “Father, Emperor , I obey the decree.”

Fang Jifan looked at this harmonious scene, but his eyes fell on a shy little girl behind Queen Zhang.

Just now, Fang Jifan clearly heard that in addition to Queen Zhang, there was also a princess. Could this… be the legendary Princess Zhu Xiurong of Taikang?

Looking closely, this little girl is very cute. She seems to be only one or two years younger than Zhu Houzhao. She looks a bit shy. She has a fair complexion and can be broken by blows. She has an oval-like face and picturesque willow eyebrows. , has a pair of smoky and pretty eyes. Although she is still young, she is obviously a beautiful woman!

Perhaps he was used to touching Xiao Xiangxiang, so whenever Fang Jifan met a woman, he would inevitably show a bit of WEISUO, and seemed very unruly.

Therefore, the princess who was hiding behind her mother noticed Fang Jifan’s gaze, and was slightly angry, but did not dare to say anything, and just turned her gaze elsewhere.
