Chapter 1485 A good place
With the help of Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, it is naturally much easier for Zhu Houzhao to leave the palace.
The Zhang brothers held military power and could walk freely in the palace. In addition, Zhang Yuan, the regular attendant of the Eastern Palace, was concealed by him, so Zhu Houzhao was easily forced to leave the palace.
When Zhang Yuan told Zhu Houzhao the "good news", the naughty child was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. In order to prepare for his travel plan, he took out all the money he rewarded with the emperor's father.
The previous time he left the palace, he learned a lot about the real world situation and understood that money is the most important thing when he went out.
"...The pawn shop outside can be used as things. I bring a few more items from the palace. Maybe one can exchange for some silver and spend money, but I can't bring large ones. The vases and plates in the palace are good, but people outside dare not accept them, saying they are forbidden items... Otherwise, I ask Zhang Yuan which ones are not forbidden items, and can be easily dismantled after taking them out?"
Zhu Houzhao's prodigal son was fully exposed. In order to travel, he wanted to take out the things in the palace for sale or pawn so that he could have more money to eat, drink and have fun after leaving the palace.
After Zhu Houzhao called Zhang Yuan and asked about the pawnshop in detail, Zhang Yuan carefully suggested: "Your Highness, you will go out of the palace and be arranged by the two uncles. If you are short of money, just tell them, I think... I will not treat Your Highness badly!"
Zhu Houzhao frowned: "What are the personalities of those two uncles in the palace? Do you think I don't know? It is said that they bully men and women, collude and are stingy, and they are stingy. They are the kind of stingy miser who is not bad. What if I send this palace out of the palace? Prepare more things and can rely on something on a long journey, that's great..."
After hearing Zhu Houzhao say he wanted to travel far, Zhang Yuan was so scared that he quickly persuaded: "Your Highness, you can't travel far, this... this is really too dangerous..."
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "What's the matter with you if I travel far? Didn't you receive a lot of benefits before? Now I want to leave the palace, and you can contribute some of it, just... ten taels of silver!"
Zhang Yuan originally thought that Zhu Houzhao wanted the lion to speak loudly, but when he heard the price of ten taels of silver, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. To him, ten taels of silver were a little bit of. Although his salary was not much, as the attendant of the Eastern Palace, he had a lot of "extra money". In addition, he usually accepted bribes and had already saved up five or six hundred taels of silver.
Of course, this is also related to Zhang Yuan's lack of money in the palace. He is planning to send the money out of the palace to his wife Qian, so that Qian and his children can live a better life.
Since entering the palace, Zhang Yuan has never met Qian. He only knows that Qian has been properly settled by the Zhang brothers and can occasionally communicate with each other. The couple is now separated by a palace wall, and it seems that they will never have the chance to meet in their lifetime.
Zhang Yuan gave out the palace several times before, but failed. The Zhang brothers kept saying that they would help him take care of his wife and let him do things well in the palace. The one he was most worried about now was his wife and children. When he learned that his youngest son Shen Yongqi followed Shen Xi to do things, he felt much more at ease.
Zhang Yuan quickly returned to the room to get the money. In order to show his support for the prince's departure from the palace, he took out twenty taels of silver in one breath, but it was not an integer, all of them were broken silver and copper coins. This was also considered that the prince would suspect that his family was rich, so he took out broken silver and copper coins, which seemed to be what he had finally put together over time.
Zhang Yuan gave the money and said, "Your Highness, this is something I have saved up for several years. Now that you want to leave the palace, I will naturally serve it with both hands. There is a folk saying that "the road to wealthy families is poor, and it means that no matter how poor a family wants to travel, you should try to bring as much money as possible, so that you will not cause trouble because of lack of money... I am very loyal to you!"
Zhu Houzhao smiled with her eyes, her eyes shining, and she snatched her wallet, but she kept saying that: "I know, it's really troublesome. Will you give me the money, and I won't give you double the money in the future? Don't worry, I will never treat the people who help me unfairly. Just wait for the future to enjoy wealth and glory!"
Zhang Yuan looked grateful, but he felt a little surprised, why did the prince seem to have never seen money before, and even the entire Ming Dynasty belong to their Zhu family, but the prince took the twenty taels of silver and seemed to have thousands of taels of gold.
If he was not in charge of the family, he would not know that the firewood and rice were expensive. In the past, Zhu Houzhao could have regarded money as dirt. At that time, he thought it was easy for people to make money, but when he often left the palace and even traveled far away from Beijing, he knew that it was difficult for ordinary people to make money. Twenty taels of silver could almost allow a well-off family to live a safe year, and also allow him to go to Jiangnan safely, eat well and sleep well. Of course, he was overjoyed. You must know that he had never been so generous.
...
...
Zhu Houzhao prepared a bag, which contained the "good things" he wanted to take out of the palace to sell.
He was ready to explore the way out for the first time after leaving the palace, and sold the goods by the way, and then saw if he could "borrow" some money from his two uncles.
The second time I left the palace, I would just leave the capital and travel far.
With a plan, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhang Yuan to discuss the time with Zhang Yanling, and set a day for him to rest and not have to attend classes. He got up early in the morning and called a group of eunuchs from the East Palace to threaten and intimidate them, and did not allow these people to disturb him reading books. Then he asked Zhang Yuan to come in from time to time to serve tea and water, which seemed to him still stay in the bedroom.
After everything was arranged, the naughty child pretended to be a eunuch. He followed Zhang Yanling to guide the way and went all the way to Shangshenjian, and then followed the convoy that was out of the palace to purchase goods.
Because Zhang Yanling did not dare to reveal Zhu Houzhao's identity to the eunuchs in Shangshenjian, the eunuchs thought that Zhu Houzhao had some relationship with Marquis Jianchang and were very flattering along the way. In this way, Zhu Houzhao asked more things to prepare for the next time he left the palace.
The naughty child planned to get to know the way first, so that he would not need Zhang Yanling's help when he left the palace. In this way, no one would know when he would leave the palace. As long as he left the capital, the sea would be wide and the fish would be leaping, and the sky would be high and the birds would be flying.
"...This young master is really lucky. He has something to do with his uncle. He is also the favorite student of Eunuch Zhang, the regular attendant of the Eastern Palace. He will surely make a fortune in the future!"
The eunuch Shangshen, who led the way, has been trying hard to curry favor with Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "If I have a future, I will definitely remember you. How about we support each other?"
"OK!"
The eunuch of Shangshenjian was very happy and told me all the way, "You are going to meet with the uncle, right? The uncle gave special instructions: Come back early to avoid delaying the matter. This palace gate is not easy to enter and exit. If you have the ability in the future, don't forget to say more good words to our family in front of the prince. Our family is called Zhenglian..."
"What lotus?"
Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.
"Zhenglian, Zhengzheng is Fangzheng's Zheng. Lian is the lotus of Lianhua. Our family is the one of Eunuch Cui, Shangshenjian. If you have any trouble, you can find Eunuch Cui in the future. He is our adopted father!" Zhenglian said proudly.
Zhu Houzhao was wondering, "I don't know Eunuch Cui at all, I don't want to find him if I have something to do?"
With a little disdain, Zhu Houzhao continued to go to the palace gate. After the heavily guarded Dong'anmen Gate, he felt relieved. Looking at the familiar streets in the distance, he had already begun to look forward to the pleasure of leaving the capital and traveling all over the world. This is also the wish of a young man who was raised in the deep palace and yearn for freedom.
Unfortunately, after walking a few steps, the naughty child saw a carriage waiting in the distance. He thought it was the people sent by the Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang to pick him up.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to avoid it, but people had already gotten out of the carriage and came over with the servant. It was Zhu Houzhao's second uncle Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling was refreshed and walked to the naughty child without politeness. He asked with a smile: "Little father-in-law, where are you going?"
Zhu Houzhao looked straight: "Second uncle, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? Where am I going to go out? What does it have to do with you?"
Zhang Yanling was stunned, then shook his head and laughed in silence: "It seems that I made you. Could it be that my father-in-law wants to cross the river and destroy the bridge?"
There is obviously a gap between the nephew and uncle. Zhu Houzhao thought, if it weren't for relying on you to help me leave the palace now, I wouldn't bother paying attention to you. Others said that you relied on our royal family to do evil outside and lost all the face of your father.
Zhang Yanling said: "It's a bit difficult for you to walk far away in this outfit. Instead of being pointed and exposed on the road, it's better to change your clothes in the carriage... Your usual outfit is more conducive to walking around the market. Today, my uncle will take you to visit a few good places!"
Zhu Houzhao was originally a little disdainful of Zhang Yanling, and asked curiously when she heard this, "What's the good place?"
Zhang Yanling was so secretive: "Change my clothes and follow me, wait until I get there and know..."
...
...
The place where Zhang Yanling wanted to take Zhu Houzhao to was not that simple. It was a real place of love and love. Zhu Houzhao was very eager for it. After arriving in Huguang, he even begged Shen Xi to take him to visit. However, Shen Xi used some tricks at that time to make Zhu Houzhao lose interest in the place of love and love that was highly anticipated.
But what Zhang Yanling wanted to take him to experience this time was the fireworks place in the capital. Zhang Yanling planned to use food, drink and fun to win over Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao didn't know at this time, and Zhang Yanling was about to open a magical door for him, so that all Shen Xi's previous efforts could be put into vain.
Zhu Houzhao changed her clothes on the carriage and kept reminding Zhang Yanling: "...Second uncle, I have to agree first. I don't have much time, so I have to hurry up and do my business..."
