Chapter 127 The father and the emperor owe justice
Zhu Youzing came to see his wife, just to tell her that he was in a relatively good condition now and wanted to go downstairs and walk around long ago. If it weren't for Xie Qian's anger, he wouldn't have made such an attempt.
Soon, Zhu Youzhang cared about his wife's physical condition.
Empress Zhang was hugged by her husband, and her face was full of happiness: "Emperor, I am about to give birth. I really hope to give birth to another son so that the emperor's bloodline can be continued."
Although Zhu Youzhe felt sorry for his wife, he would not say anything "It's the same for a boy or a girl". He himself hoped to have another son. After all, a son is too unsafe. If he had many descendants, he would not have been doting Zhu Houzhao to the point of being almost indulgent.
When his second son grows up, even if Zhu Houzhao is still naughty, he has alternative options. Of course, Zhu Youzhang also knows that even if the queen gives birth to a second son, he will not easily depose the eldest son Zhu Houzhao's crown prince.
Not to mention that the child has not been born yet, when the child grows up without any disaster or illness, he can clearly observe his character, Zhu Houzhao should have been in his twenties in his personality. If Zhu Youzhao could survive until then, he would not be able to easily depose the prince, because Zhu Houzhao was already full at that time.
"The queen is so happy to take care of her fetus. When I recover, I will be a family of four..." Zhu Youzhang's expression was a bit longing.
When Queen Zhang heard this, she couldn't help but wiped the tears that had overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
She gave birth to a baby more than once, but until now the emperor still has only Zhu Houzhao, the second son and eldest daughter died of illness one after another. Her husband cherished her and never mentioned the matter of taking a concubine, but he couldn't help feeling guilty.
Queen Zhang has always been grateful to Xie Qian.
In the early years of Hongzhi, the eunuch Guo Yong, the eunuch at the eunuch, wrote a letter to the emperor, asking Zhu Youzhang to select concubines to prepare for the six palaces. Xie Qian, who was the left son of the Zhanshi Mansion at that time, took the lead in writing a letter, saying that the emperor "the mountain and mausoleum have not yet been completed, and the etiquette should be waiting. The period of auspicious treasures is not far away. Your Majesty is rich in spring and autumn, please wait until the end of the Yin Yin, and the discussion is not too late." He reminded Zhu Youzhang not to take too many concubines during his time as the predecessor.
When Zhu Youzhang saw that his husband was taking the lead in opposing the situation, he didn't have much opinion at the time of his first succession. He thought that he had just married his wife, and was in love and did not want to be a reputation for enjoyment when he was obeying the rules, so he put aside the matter of taking concubines. This release came to the fifteenth year of Hongzhi.
So even if Empress Zhang has prejudice against many ministers in the court, her husband will still come forward to help Xie Qian say good things when he blames Xie Qian.
"Your Majesty, I am useless. I have never helped Your Majesty add more children in these years." Empress Zhang said, wiping her tears.
Zhu Youzing gently stroked his wife's head and smiled and said, "Empress, what do you say? Although I am the emperor, you and I are husband and wife in distress. But I still remember when you first entered the palace, I was just a son who was invincible in the eyes of my father. At that time, Concubine Wan had just passed away and the people in the palace were in panic. No one knew whether the father would take his anger on others. My prince was also in danger. When we met you, we were unforgettable. After marriage, we experienced hardships and shared prosperity and prosperity until today."
When Emperor Hongzhi said this, Empress Zhang showed a happy shyness on her face, and she was also a little lucky.
Empress Zhang entered the palace in February of the 23rd year of Chenghua. At that time, Zhu You and the ten crown princes were unimaginable that they had not yet accepted the crown princess at the age of 18. Ordinary men had already gotten married and had children at the age of 15 or 16, let alone being born in the royal family?
But Zhu Youzhang not only had a father, Emperor Chenghua, but also the beloved concubine Wan Zhen'er, whom Emperor Chenghua favored. Liu Jian, Cheng Minzheng and others wrote letters to ask Emperor Chenghua to choose a concubine as the crown prince, but they were all obstructed by Wan Zhen'er and delayed until the first month of the 23rd year of Chenghua. Wan Zhen'er died suddenly, and Zhu Youzhang finally did not have to be a lonely wife. Therefore, after Zhu Youzhang got Empress Zhang, he loved Empress Zhang very much.
Zhu Youzhang, who was given the crown princess, did not dare to say that he would definitely become emperor, because at that time, Emperor Chenghua was more than one son. Emperor Chenghua seemed to be in his prime at that time, and Zhu Youzhang simply wanted to live an ordinary life with Empress Zhang. But in the autumn of that year, Emperor Chenghua left and Zhu Youzhang was pushed to the throne, and he didn't even expect it.
Empress Zhang was very moved when she saw her husband cherishing her so much, but she still reminded her: "Emperor, Mr. Xie must have been kind-hearted... He is the emperor's mentor and never forgets the country of the Ming Dynasty. Wasn't Wei Zheng the same to Emperor Taizong of Tang back then?"
Zhu Youzhang felt a little impatient when he heard this, but he nodded in the end and agreed.
Zhu Houzhao outside waited for a long time and could no longer help but break into the side room, which scared Zhu Youzhang and was furious: "Who told you to come?"
"Father, my son is here to pay tribute to you and your mother." Zhu Houzhao began to pretend to be cute, and as soon as she went up, she saluted Zhu Youting and Empress Zhang.
Zhu Youzhang looked behind Zhu Houzhao, but he didn't even bring a servant, and he became more and more annoyed... Could it be that the attendant of the Eastern Palace should take a close look at the prince and that the order to confine the prince was useless?
Zhu Youzhang rarely improved his health. He came over to meet the queen and was a little warm, but his son destroyed the atmosphere. Moreover, his son came over without being summoned, which made him very unhappy and shouted: "Since you have been in peace, if you have nothing to do, you will go back to the Eastern Palace early. Without my permission, you will not be allowed to come to the Ganqing Palace and Kunning Palace again."
"Father, you often teach your sons to be more filial. You also asked your sons to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager and grandmother. Why did you blame the sons for coming today?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a grievance on his face.
Queen Zhang quickly told Xiang to her husband and son: "Emperor, the emperor is also filial, so don't blame him."
"Ahem"
Zhu Youzing coughed violently for a while, and Queen Zhang gently stroked her husband's back. After a while, her breath calmed down. Zhu Youzing looked at his wife and said:
"Queen, I haven't seen my grandmother for many days. I'm better today. Why not go there and have a walk together? Maybe you can go downstairs?"
"Um."
Although Queen Zhang is pregnant, her body is not weak, and it is basically okay to walk around the ground. However, Zhu Youzhang valued her pregnancy and was not allowed to go down the ground.
When Queen Zhang saw that her husband was in good health, it happened that Zhu Youting's grandmother, Empress Dowager Zhou, was also ill. As a grandson and daughter-in-law, it was appropriate to take her son over to take a look.
"Crown Prince, you will go with me and your mother to meet the Empress Dowager!" Zhu Youzhang said sternly.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned. In fact, going to pay tribute to Empress Dowager Zhou is something that must be done during festivals and festivals. He didn't have much resistance, after all, he rarely went there on weekdays.
Empress Dowager Zhou was the concubine of Yingzong. Yingzong did not become the queen when he was alive, but her son was Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, who was Emperor Chenghua. Empress Dowager Zhou was Zhu Youzhi's biological grandmother. Especially when Zhu Youzhi had just recognized his ancestors and returned to his hometown, Empress Dowager Zhou took Zhu Youzhi to live with him in order to prevent his precious grandson from being poisoned by Wan Zhen'er, which made Wan Zhen'er dare not harm him.
The Ming Dynasty had the tradition of the eldest son inheriting the crown prince. In the order of succession, the eldest son had certain advantages, so Wan Zhen'er attacked the pregnant concubines in the palace one after another. She was favored by Emperor Chenghua, and others dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.
After Zhu Youzhang was recognized by Emperor Chenghua, Empress Dowager Zhou became Zhu Youzhang's biggest amulet. Wan Zhen'er dared to attack anywhere in the inner courtyard of the palace, but she did not dare to be arrogant in the bedroom of Empress Dowager Zhou. That was where her power could not extend, which made Zhu Youzhang grow up.
After Zhu Youzhang ascended the throne, he always treated Empress Dowager Zhou with great courtesy.
Zhu Youzhang helped his wife to the ground. He was inconvenient to move. The couple carried each other and were about to take their son to Cining Palace, Zhu Houzhao suddenly said, "Father, my son has a request, please let me know."
Zhu Youzhang cursed: "You are a villain, you just praised you for your filial piety. Who would have thought that something happened... Let's talk about it, what exactly is it?"
The son should scold him or her, but Zhu Youzing also wanted to hear what his son wanted to say. He wanted to know why this naughty child sneaked to Kunning Palace to find him and Queen Zhang, or to find Queen Zhang, because he didn't know that the naughty child had been to the Ganqing Palace first, and thought his son didn't know that he was here.
Zhu Houzhao said: "I heard that Mr. Chen has returned to the capital. My son missed him so much that he wanted Mr. Chen to return to the East Palace as a lecturer. My son wanted to listen to Mr. Chen's lecture on "Twenty-One Histories"!"
Zhu Youzhang was going to listen to what his son said, but if there was any wrong, he would just scold him. He thought that what his son wanted was just something to eat, drink and have fun. When he heard that he was looking for Chen Xi, he couldn't scold him.
Queen Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's a good thing. The emperor knows that he has studied. He wants to invite Chen Zhuangyuan to the palace to be his teacher..."
"Queen, do you really think he wants to listen to Chen Xi's lecture? I guess he wants to read those martial arts books and let Chen Xi go to the palace to make trouble with him!" Zhu Youzhe said with regret.
Zhu Houzhao argued with reason: "There is no such thing as Father. The son-in-law really wants Mr. Chen to return to the East Palace to be a lecturer, because those gentlemen in the East Palace are not as good as Mr. Chen. The son-in-law wants to find a capable gentleman. Is this also wrong?"
When Empress Zhang heard that her son had a strong temper, she quickly said, "Son, don't be rude to your father. Please apologize to your father."
"What I said is right, why should I apologize? At that time, I asked my father to transfer Mr. Chen back to the East Palace to be a lecturer, but my father agreed. Now that Mr. Shen is back, I can't see Mr. Chen. Is his father inappropriate in his work?"
Zhu Houzhao didn't know where the courage came from, so she actually confronted Zhu Youzhang.
When Zhu Youzhe heard this, he didn't care whether the naughty child said something was reasonable or not, just because his son offended me was enough to make him so angry that he coughed.
As soon as the couple helped each other stand up, Zhu Youzhang was forced to sit down because of a violent cough to make a smooth breath.
Now Queen Zhang is not on her son's side anymore. She first persuaded Zhu Youzhang, and then shouted to Zhu Houzhao: "Isn't you kneeling down and admitting your mistake to your father!"
"snort!"
Zhu Houzhao knelt down, but he left his head and had no intention of regret.
Zhu Youzang's breath was slightly calmer, and he pointed at his son and scolded him angrily: "You evil son... Queen, you have also seen it. If I have many descendants, why would I pass the throne to such unfilial sons?"
Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly: "Father, my son is just asking you, do you have to keep your word? Do you have to be fair? You say that my son is a bad son, so after the son in the mother's belly is born, you can make him the crown prince. My son abdicates and gives way to the wise!"
A word not only made Zhu Youzhang stunned, but even Queen Zhang was a little panicked.
Finally, the couple looked at each other, and no one spoke, and they were in no mood to scold Zhu Houzhao again.
