In order to restrain his son's character, Queen Zhang made some appropriate concessions.｜Chinese｜Novel..

Don’t you like women? Your mother won’t stop you anymore!

Your father is right. Since the emperor's lineage is weak and your father cannot accept a concubine, then let you have a crown princess. Who can give birth to you? Even if she is letting her be a concubine, she can be a concubine in the future. Who said that the Ming Dynasty has always been orderly and the status of the eldest son is unbreakable?

It is best for your mother to be noble because of your son. It is best if you have not grown all your hair yet, and you have even the eldest grandson. In this way, the ministers in the court will not submit memorials every day to ask your father to accept the inner palace, and I will not have to compete with other women for favor.

This is also to prepare for your mother, I can't give birth to a little prince, and my belly grows bigger day by day. If you give birth to another little princess, your mother's overall plan will be vain...

Zhu Houzhao has been a cage since she was a child, but he didn't realize it before. Now he really feels that he doesn't even have the minimum personal freedom. Not to mention a palace maid, he doesn't even look down on him even if he gives him a beautiful woman with a beautiful country and a beautiful country.

A young man who was in his youth rebellious period left the palace with one purpose.

As long as you can leave the palace, you can go anywhere, you can go to the northwest to see the grasslands and deserts mentioned by Shen Xi, or go to Liaodong to see the white mountains and black waters, and go to Jiangnan to experience the beautiful gardens and water towns. All of these were taught to him in class.

Others will never talk about this. The naughty child knows rarely what he sees himself, but more what Shen Xi described for him.

"Your Highness, the Empress sends me to invite you over..."

A palace maid came to pass the message, looking very handsome. It was the "little lover" who helped Zhu Houzhao change from a boy to a man. However, Zhu Houzhao is a kind of indifferent and unkind type and only possessed a few months ago. He has long forgotten about it now.

They are all in adolescence, and their height changes every day, and their appearance changes. The changes in girls are particularly obvious. In addition, Zhu Houzhao is in a bad mood, so it is no wonder he didn't recognize him.

"I understand. Go back and tell my mother that I have had supper after taking a shower, and then go there!"

Zhu Houzhao was very perfunctory to Queen Zhang. In order to express her anger, she must show her attitude...non-violent and non-cooperation!

Let me go over to have a meal? I'll finish it first and then go over to let you know that I have a temper and will not surrender easily!

The palace maid said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, the Empress told me to accompany you..."

No one knows his son better than his father. Queen Zhang sees her son’s recent performance. Of course, she knows that her son is rebellious. She is not suitable for walking around with a big belly. When she asks the palace maids and eunuchs, she takes the problem into consideration carefully so as not to delay time when she takes the second trip.

"I won't go, what's wrong?" Zhu Houzhao said with a tantrum.

Zhu Houzhao is worthy of being the most characterful emperor since ancient times, and has never been a person before. If you want to talk nonsense, no one dares to rank first. Even Zhu Youzhao told the ministers of life when he was dying that I have never done bad things in my life, but I have a son who is not good. You should assist him well.

As a result, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others still treated Zhu Houzhao with the same trick as assisting Zhu Youtang, but they suffered a great loss and were taken advantage of by Liu Jin.

With Zhu Houzhao's stubborn personality, the more he controls him, the more he has a rebellious mentality. On the contrary, he likes to listen to flattery words, and food, drink and entertainment can arouse his interest. Being an emperor is just for fun. Since ancient times, the emperor's self-depreciation of the emperor's title of a public servant to himself is only able to do so.

The palace maid was so anxious that she almost cried. However, Zhang Yuan next to her was clever and said, "Your Highness, the Queen must have something to ask you. Maybe the Queen is about to give birth, or... Your Majesty is sick?"

Zhu Houzhao pondered and said, "Didn't it mean that you are pregnant for ten months? I'll do it. It's only six months at most. Could it be that you have a premature birth? It's possible. My father's illness may suddenly become serious... Forget it, I'd better go and have a look."

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao's face turned and said, "When I lead the way, I suddenly want to see my mother and leave the palace for a walk."

...

...

Zhu Houzhao thought of missing again and hid on the way to Kunning Palace, but he found that at least twenty eunuchs were staring at him, among which the people had very neat legs and feet when they were playing Cuju with him on weekdays.

Finally arrived at Kunning Palace successfully, but Zhang Yuan guessed it. Of course, it was not Queen Zhang who gave birth, but Emperor Zhu Youtang was unwell. When he went to Kunning Palace to prepare to have a meal with the queen, his cough was too severe and he suddenly coughed up a lot of blood, and then he fainted.

Queen Zhang quickly sent someone to invite an imperial physician. After diagnosis, she realized that Zhu Youtang was almost terminally ill and was in a state of exhaustion. She finally rescued her, but her condition was still very bad. She might faint at any time and she might not be able to sleep forever.

"Your Majesty, you need to take care of the dragon body!"

After Zhu Youtang woke up, Queen Zhang held her husband's hand and whimpered constantly.

Zhu Youzang stroked his wife's hair lovingly, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's okay, isn't this much better? Come and invite the three cabinet ministers."

"emperor?"

Queen Zhang's face was full of shock. Is her husband ready to pass the throne?

Zhu Youzhan did not explain, but because his face was sallow and his eyes were dull, Empress Zhang did not dare to ask too much, so she could only let the eunuch go out to inform the Silijian and asked the Silijian to send someone to invite Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, three cabinet ministers, to the palace.

Zhu Youzhang respected and valued several of his mentors throughout his life. The power of the Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty gradually accumulated. First, the Three Yangs assisted the government, and then Zhu Youzhang valued the cabinet. Then, through Zhengde and Jiajing Dynasty, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet was truly established, with ministers with similar power to the Prime Minister.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were both in their respective residences, while Xie Qian stayed in Wenyuan Pavilion to process official documents, so he arrived at Kunning Palace earlier than the other two cabinet ministers.

The inner garden of the imperial palace has always been a forbidden place for foreign ministers. Even if the emperor has something to do on weekdays, he usually meets the ministers in the Qianqing Palace. If the ministers have urgent matters and report to the palace, they will not be in the Qianqing Palace and have to wait until the emperor comes out of the inner garden before they can meet.

It is very rare to see people directly in Kunning Palace like today. Usually, the sickbeds that the emperor entrusts his or her orphans on his deathbed are set up in the Qianqing Palace. Xie Qian was thinking about it on the way to the journey to the meeting. Could it be that the emperor's health had deteriorated seriously and could not move to the Qianqing Palace?

With a nervous mood, Xie Qian arrived outside Kunning Palace.

Although there are no concubines in the palace and the only queen Zhang in the six palaces, there are so many palace maids. Xie Qian lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. While waiting for the eunuch to come in and report, he thought in his mind whether the emperor would give him a visit alone or wait for Liu Jian and Li Dongyang to see each other together.

"Mr. Xie?"

Just as Xie Qian was uneasy, a slightly childish voice came.

The voice used to be extremely tender, but now it has a little more thick voice, which means that the prince has grown up. As soon as Xie Qian looked up, he saw Zhu Houzhao standing curiously in front of the main hall of Kunning Palace, and a group of eunuchs beside him surrounded him in the center.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince... I've greeted you." Xie Qian hurriedly saluted, thinking to himself, would he have to change his name in the future and call him "Your Majesty"?

If you think about it carefully, there is really this possibility!

Emperor Hongzhi was in poor health and suddenly saw him in Kunning Palace. Before, he thought that something might be wrong with the prince. The emperor asked three cabinet ministers to help teach his son. Now, seeing the prince standing here, a strong sense of anxiety surged in his heart.
