Forbidden City, Nuan Pavilion.
Emperor Hongzhi put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his sore wrist, and asked calmly:
"Xiao Banban, has the imperial edict been sent to Pingjiang Uncle's Mansion?"
Xiao Jing bowed his waist and replied respectfully.
"Go back to Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to deliver you."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded and stood up.
Xiao Jing hurriedly walked to Emperor Hongzhi and carefully supported Emperor Hongzhi.
"I wonder how Xiurong is doing?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked in the direction of Kunning Palace and murmured to himself.
Just yesterday, Emperor Hongzhi's family brought Zhu Xiurong back to the palace from Pingjiang Bo's Mansion.
Zhu Xiurong began not to eat or drink, and could only cry.
The tears are like broken pearls, showing no signs of stopping.
Empress Zhang tried countless tricks, but she couldn't persuade Zhu Xiurong even one bit.
For the sake of his only sister, Zhu Houzhao also risked his life and went into battle to play the clown himself.
But Zhu Xiurong didn't even look at Zhu Houzhao.
In the end, there was no choice but to find her emperor husband.
Emperor Hongzhi also felt like his head was as big as a bucket for a while!
If Zhu Houzhao dares to do this, he will be beaten as little as possible. If the beating is enough, he will be honest!
But Emperor Hongzhi was at a loss as to his precious daughter's silent resistance.
He had no choice but to speak out his plans and tell Zhu Xiurong that he had no intention of doing anything to Chen Ziyu.
Zhu Xiurong immediately stopped crying when he heard his father mention Chen Ziyu.
He raised his head eagerly and looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Xiurong's appearance and sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that the female prime minister was not allowed to stay!
Zhu Houzhao looked at his sister who just ignored him.
Now that he was so interested in Chen Ziyu, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Chen Ziyu with a knife!
"Sister! That Chen Ziyu is really nothing. He can't finish talking about all the shitty things he did for three days and three nights!"
Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and gritted his teeth and said!
"Nonsense, my husband is not that kind of person!"
Zhu Xiurong raised her little face red from crying and argued with reason.
"Am I talking nonsense? Go out and find out if Chen Ziyu's name is disliked by everyone in the capital! He is the kind of person who stands up to the world! Don't be deceived by him!"
When Zhu Xiurong questioned him, Zhu Houzhao was obviously a little angry.
As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Zhu Xiurong's tears began to fall again.
Seeing Zhu Xiurong crying, Queen Zhang glared at Zhu Houzhao with red eyes, and then held Zhu Xiurong in her arms with distress.
"How do you know what's going on outside the palace?"
Emperor Hongzhi's solemn voice sounded from behind Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao, who was furious, had no time to think and said subconsciously:
"I heard it from someone outside when I left the palace."
As soon as I finished speaking, I quickly covered my mouth!
He turned his head and drooped his head, not daring to look at Emperor Hongzhi with a sad face.
"You actually secretly left the palace without telling me?"
"Father, I know I was wrong!"
"What are you doing out of the palace?"
"My son... My son just wanted to go out for a walk, and he didn't do anything else!"
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and the image of Chen Ziyu talking eloquently appeared in his mind.
Even when other people's sons go to a brothel, they are thinking about learning!
When my son was studying, all he could think about was sneaking out of the palace to play!
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that the prince’s education was urgent!
After all, the future of the Ming Dynasty will be in his hands!
Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi didn't speak for a long time, Zhu Houzhao raised his head carefully and said weakly:
"Father, I will never dare to do this again!"
Emperor Hongzhi said nothing, raised his finger and pointed at the corner.
"oh!"
Zhu Houzhao lowered his head, walked to the corner with ease, and reluctantly knelt down facing the wall with a snap.
The whole set of movements is smooth and smooth, one more movement is a bit redundant, and one less movement is not perfect!

Pingjiang Bofu.
British Duke Zhang Mao looked at Chen Rui, who looked lonely, and said sincerely:
"Old Chen, I think of you and me as friends who died in the trenches last year. Now that you are in trouble, can I add insult to injury and just sit back and watch?"
After that, he took out a stack of one hundred taels of banknotes from his arms, at least a hundred, and stuffed them into Chen Rui's hand without any explanation.
"You take this money, how can you sell the ancestral things in the house without me as the elder brother telling you? Everything I said before was just a joke, don't take it to heart."
Chen Rui looked down at the banknotes in his hand with red eyes and shed tears!
"This... Master, how can this be done!"
As he spoke, he handed back the banknote in his hand.
"Okay, okay, take it, we are all old brothers, so there is no need to be polite!"
Zhang Mao waved his hand and started shouting.
"Old Chen, it's not what I told you, you are really too indulgent of Ziyu!"
"If you survive the catastrophe this time and leave the capital in the future, remember to keep a low profile and tell Ziyu a good marriage and have more children."
As one of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, although Bo Jun is not as good as those above, he is more than enough!
Chen Rui has also accumulated a lot of money over the years.
There are countless fertile fields, calligraphy and painting, and antiques.
But there was a prodigal son!
In just a few years, Nuo Da's family property was completely destroyed!
If Chen Rui hadn't discovered it early, I'm afraid the ancestral home would have been sold!
It's a pity that now my son has become a fool!
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken it upon myself to force Quanzi to get married, this thing wouldn't have happened! Let alone His Majesty! I'm sorry for my son!"
Chen Rui was in tears!
Zhang Mao couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, secretly thinking that being a fool is better than being a prodigal!
At least you won't cause trouble or cause trouble!
If his son behaved like this, he would probably beat him to death!
Since ancient times, filial sons have emerged from the stick!
Zhang Mao still doesn’t believe it, there are still people in this world who are not afraid of beatings!
"Hey, Lao Chen, don't blame my brother for speaking out. You are just too spoiled. Don't you understand that spoiling a child is like killing a child?"
"Don't you know what it is to seduce a princess?"
"Are you aware of the serious crime of confiscating a house and exterminating an entire family?"
"Although Ziyu has become a fool now, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe just because of this, his life can be saved!"
"Your Majesty is kind and kind, I believe that Your Majesty will spare your life for the sake of your Chen family's loyalty for generations!"
Chen Rui was so frightened that Zhang Mao's left sentence ransacked his home and his right sentence wiped out his entire family. His face turned pale and his lips trembled as he said:
"It's not necessarily my son's deception. What if the princess agreed to it herself?"
"..."
Zhang Mao wished he could slap this old subordinate to death!
I can't wait to raise my eyebrows, but I still want to protect my son!
If this happens to His Majesty, even if he wants to forgive, he will not be able to forgive me!
No wonder Chen Rui, such a down-to-earth person, gave birth to a son named Chen Ziyu who behaved so wildly!
What a damn loving father, what a loser!
Zhang Mao leaned down angrily, grabbed Chen Rui's collar, lowered his voice and said word by word in Chen Rui's ear:
"You don't want your fucking head anymore. If anyone else hears it, I'll definitely slap you with the label of slandering the royal family!"
"Besides, what if the other party agrees to this?"
"Don't you know that consent in the past is not consent?"
"Don't you know that consent can be revoked?"
After saying that, he suddenly pushed Chen Rui away and turned to leave.
Chen Rui, who knew he had made a mistake, was so frightened that he looked at Zhang Mao's back and dared not speak.
After taking just two steps, Zhang Mao stopped and said without looking back, facing Chen Rui:
"For the sake of past friendship, I don't want to see the Chen family destroyed. Just wait at home. I will go to the palace to beg your majesty. I think your majesty will betray me and let your Chen family live!"
