Chapter 1464 Palace Mourning

In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, bullying the little sister is a very novel and interesting thing. As soon as my mother returned to the inner curtain to prepare, he turned around and pinched her tender and smooth face.

The little princess cried and screamed, but now the little guy has already hid in the wet nurse's arms. With the wet nurse as a support, the super little loli is no longer just tolerant of this elder brother who makes her hate, and begins to wave his "flowering legs" and try to block the magic claws that stretch towards her cheeks.

"Ahhhhh..."

The little loli was speechless and opened her mouth and shouted directly at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao pinched her sister's arm and face a few times before she smiled with satisfaction: "You little guy, you still want to fight me, can you? Let's talk about it when you grow up a little and your strength gets bigger!"

"Ahhhhh..."

The little loli was still waving her fists. At the age of a young age, she seemed to have learned to be very careful. Whoever offends her will be striking her to the end.

Just as Zhu Houzhao was about to continue to exert some "violent" measures on his sister, a eunuch suddenly rushed over. Zhu Houzhao looked sideways and found that it was the eunuch on duty in the Ganqing Palace. He was about to go over to ask questions, but when he saw the eunuch ignored him and ran past him like a gust of wind, as if he hadn't seen him.

The eunuch came to Ma He'an in a panic look and said in a low voice. Ma He'an's face changed suddenly, his expression was a little frightened and uneasy. He quickly walked towards the inner curtain. Zhu Houzhao stood there and looked at him stupidly... Why didn't he take me seriously? Could it be that something big happened in the palace?

Queen Zhang quickly came out of the bedroom, and a shadow was covered with a layer of dignity and beauty.

Zhu Houzhao asked curiously: "Mother, what happened?"

Queen Zhang looked sad and said, "The Empress Dowager died!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned and was a little confused... My mother was telling her great-grandmother was sick, but not long after, she suddenly told her that the Empress Dowager had passed away, which he could never have imagined.

Zhu Houzhao opened her mouth and couldn't say anything.

Empress Zhang was in a hurry: "Your father has gone to Ciqing Palace, so we hurried over. The Empress Dowager died of illness and we were not around, because we were unfilial!"

Zhu Houzhao's face was a little unfair.

He doesn't care about whether he is filial or not. He is indeed very high in terms of origin, but he can't talk about cultivation. The main reason is that he was born in the royal family and became the crown prince at a young age. He has no brothers to compete with him for the throne. He is used to being willful and a naughty child who even dares to beat him up. He wants him to follow the filial piety, righteousness, etiquette and law. It is not realistic.

...

...

Zhu Youzhe originally met with many lecturers and lecturers in the Ganqing Palace. He asked about the prince's studies and determined that the weather would start to talk about the day after the weather turned cooler.

Before the meeting ended, Zhu Youzhang learned from Xiao Jing, who came in panic to report the news.

Because Xiao Jing did not dare to say it in front of the court officials, he just whispered in Zhu Youzhi's ear. Others had no idea what had happened. They were as wise as Li Dongyang, and they could not guess that something happened in the inner garden. They all thought that there was an emergency in some area in the Ming Dynasty.

Without saying a word, Zhu Youzhang got up and went straight to the back of the hall. When the emperor left, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

The chief assistant Liu Jian did not attend the meeting. The remaining two ministers of the regent, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, who were from Hanyuan, were on the list. When the emperor left, they naturally became the targets of questioning by many ministers.

Liang Chu came over and asked, "Sir Li, I don't know what happened. Your Majesty is so hasty. He left without any explanation?"

Li Dongyang subconsciously glanced at Xie Qian, as if he didn't know. Xie Qian might know, but after confirming that Xie Qian was also confused, he said to Liang Chu: "It's probably an emergency. Now I don't know the truth. Mr. Liang asked his colleagues to wait with peace of mind. I'll ask the cabinet first..."

After saying that, Li Dongyang hurriedly left the Ganqing Palace and headed towards Wenyuan Pavilion.

Xie Qian looked at the back of his old friend and felt a little helpless. On this issue, he was regarded as a transparent person. When Li Dongyang left, he did not say hello to him.

Among so many people present, except for Li Dongyang, Xie Qian was able to enter and exit the Ganqing Palace freely, and the identities of the two were there.

No one dared to leave without authorization at this moment for those scholars from Hanyuan or lecturers. After all, the emperor did not say that he would leave. At least he had to wait for Xiao Jing to come back to deliver a message, or wait until the sunset and dusk, and the more prestigious ministers came out to arrange some of them. Xie Qian was the person who was qualified to order the lecturers of Hanlin Academy to go back.

Xie Qian was not in a hurry to leave, and he did not intend to let the people present leave, thinking: "Is it because something happened to Chen Xi's child in the southwest that His Majesty left in a hurry?"

"Binzhi was so anxious to the cabinet, and most of the time he thought about this level, and didn't want to discuss too much with me, so as not to intervene. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there is only the southwest where the war happened."

"Your Majesty is so in a hurry, either the Guilin Palace is lost or the Tatars on the northwest border have made a comeback. Besides, it is really hard to guess.

On this side, Xie Qian was thinking about it. On the other side, there were also many Hanlin officials, lecturers from the East Palace, and lecturers from Japan. Xie Qian didn't want to go over and join in the fun. Liang Chu glanced at Xie Qian and joined the circle of speaking.

Xie Qian originally wanted to hide for peace, but he didn't want to waste his brains. Jin Gui, who had been away from the thoughts alone, came over with a worried look on his face and said to Xie Qian: "Gei Master, is there something happened to the inner curtain?"

Xie Qian looked at Jin Gui.

After Shen Xi asked Jin Gui to send a martial arts book to Zhu Houzhao, but was stabbed out by him, Jin Gui felt embarrassed to see Xie Qian with a shame because he felt that he had betrayed Chen Xi and was untrustworthy.

Today, in addition to being a lecturer in the East Palace, Jin Gui is also a lecturer in Japan, and also serves as a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy. In recent years, Jin Gui has been promoted very quickly, which is related to his ability to get along well with Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao can roughly maintain a harmonious state for the lecturer of the Eastern Palace who has a good relationship with Chen Xi. The most prominent one is Jin Gui, after all, Jin Gui had presented martial arts to him for Chen Xi before.

Xie Qian asked, "I don't know anything. You actually said that there is something wrong with the inner veil. Have you heard of it?" He did not immediately deny Jin Gui's words. He didn't know it himself, which did not mean that Jin Gui didn't know either.

With the emperor's favor for officials from the Hanlin Academy, especially some officials from the Hanyuan Court can enter and exit the palace freely under the title of lecturer, and occasionally go to the Ganqing Palace to discuss government affairs with the emperor. In fact, these leisure lecturers usually have more room for free movement in the palace.

On the contrary, as a cabinet minister, Xie Qian was alienated by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and his official duties were still busy, and he had no time and energy to walk around, and even investigated the situation in the palace.

Jin Gui said: "As students know, the Empress Dowager was seriously ill before the New Year. At the beginning of the year, His Majesty issued an edict to the Imperial Hospital for full treatment. He also received the help of a thousand-year-old ginseng offered by Gao Liguo. There was no change yet, but the old disease has recurred recently, maybe..."

Xie Qian frowned and attached some importance to Jin Guiping.

Before, Xie Qian did not like the timid and afraid of Jin Gui, especially Jin Gui put his grandson-in-law in a position of injustice. Xie Qian is a person who likes to hold grudges... Although Jin Gui exposed the story of the martial arts story, he had seen him first and received his instruction, which made him selectively forget it.

Xie Qian looked cautious: "After you said this, I remembered that this happened at the beginning of the year. At that time, His Majesty also summoned Taoist priests and monks in the capital to pray for the Empress Dowager. But later, with the treatment of the Imperial Hospital, the Empress Dowager's condition gradually improved, and no one mentioned this matter again."

"But it is a bit ruthless to say about this kind of thing in private. How can the ministers discuss the emperor's family affairs behind their backs? Chongsui, don't tell others about this matter!"

Jin Gui made a face of being taught and bowed: "Students remember!"
