The person who spoke turned out to be the emperor. It turned out that he had not left and was standing behind to watch. As he spoke, he slowly walked over. Everyone was taken aback and immediately prostrated on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. The same was true for the prince. He quickly jumped off the horse, stepped forward and saluted: "Father, Prince Ning's Mansion sent a BMW. On a whim, I ran out of the Forbidden City. I came back late. I was afraid of missing the banquet of my two uncles. Please run faster. Breaking into the palace!"
"Nonsense! How can a horse run wild in the palace? This little Jin Yiwei is enforcing the law, how can he be wrong? He even let others compete with him. Fortunately, he was not hurt. This is your fault. You should discipline your subordinates! Bullying a child is just what the prince's father-in-law would do." The emperor still spoke calmly, but those people were trembling with fear.
The prince still smiled and said: "Father, I know I was wrong, and I really shouldn't have done it!" The emperor did not say anything, but pointed to the prostrate men on the ground and said: "I heard that you specially prepared some Novel things make the prince endlessly happy. Very good, very good, Liu Jin. I see that you are careful in doing things, so I let you serve the prince. I don’t think so, you have done this, and Gao Feng, a veteran of three dynasties, is also with these juniors. Are you doing this kind of childishness?" Although the voice was weak, it was full of majesty.
The two people lying on the ground were so frightened that they kowtowed. The prince said: "Father, please calm down. This matter is not what the father imagined. My son has been weak since he was a child. I think that in the Ming Dynasty, culture, administration and martial arts are the foundation of a country. Although I have no Emperor Taizu and Taizong are capable, but the blood of the Zhu family flows in their bones. Now that the Tatars are disturbing Beiting, I have always wanted to pacify it and make the Ming Dynasty peaceful and peaceful! Every day, I read books and practice calligraphy, and practice martial arts in my spare time. They are really It’s hard work and I often accompany my son. Today it’s because Prince Ning sent me a horse, and I couldn’t help but try it out on a horse. It’s really good. Father, please don’t blame them.”
The emperor's face softened and he said: "If this is the case, I can still be lenient. It's okay. Seeing that your body is gradually getting stronger, this is also a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. My father's health has always been poor, so you must take good care of it."
The two of them said, holding hands, and walked slowly into the palace. The prince waved his hands to these people as he walked, and saw those people stand up. Suddenly, the emperor stopped, turned around, and pointed at me. Said: "Jinyiwei Zhang Ying has done a great job. No one should make things difficult for him, and Prince, you must not make things difficult for him! Go and help him up quickly, don't scare him."
The prince looked back at me, smiled, walked over and said: "Of course, my father and I will obey the orders of the emperor. Zhang Ying, get up quickly! Come to my place one day, let's compete!" When he helped me up, , and squeezed my arm hard. The prince really had some strength. I grinned in pain. I endured the pain and quickly gave him a salute. The prince looked at me with a wicked smile and said nothing. See you there, Your Majesty. He chuckled and said: "You are obviously scaring this kid. He is about the same age as you. Hey, if your brother is here, he can almost play with you." I know more or less,
The emperor originally had a son, but unfortunately he died young.
The prince said: "Father, take good care of your body and give birth to more brothers in the future!" The emperor sighed heavily and said: "Hi, your father is already in his dying years. However, a few days ago, Daoist priest Huang sent The elixir is indeed effective. My legs were originally weak, but now after walking for so long, I still have strength, and I don't even feel tired!" The prince said: "This is easy to handle. I urge Longhushan to do more. Here comes the elixir, so that my father will be healthy as soon as possible!" The emperor smiled again and said: "It is hard to disobey the destiny! I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I just feel that the Ming Dynasty still needs to be revived, so I dare not say death easily! You are a young man , you should learn more from ministers!" Seeing me standing there, he said, "Zhang Ying, I've heard of you, you don't have to be afraid, although the prince is naughty, he is a kind person! Ning Xi and I Say, you saved her life! Well done, you must accompany the prince well from now on, he cannot be without people like you!"
I quickly kowtowed and thanked him, but I didn't know what the emperor meant. When I stood up again, the emperor held the prince's hand and slowly walked into the palace. Eunuch Zhang and Liu Jin were both looking at me, but their eyes were completely different.
After getting off the job, it was already Xu time. When everyone returned to Yiluan Division, I couldn't say whether I was happy or what. In short, my mood was very complicated, but Ning Boyang and Hardy were smiling. It was obvious that they were very happy. The three of us went straight back to our room and looked at each other. I was in shock, and he and I came to comfort me. Suddenly, Luo Zhong walked in with a smile. We stood up quickly. He looked at us and said, "You have done a good job!"
I was already uneasy. When he said this, he quickly handed over his hands and said, "Sir Qianhu, this is all my fault and has nothing to do with the brothers!"
Ning Boyang glanced at Hardy and said, "We are all involved in this matter!"
Luo Zhong laughed and said: "Okay, this is my fault. Before entering the palace, you should tell me what to do when you meet the emperor. Fortunately, you did a good job. You did a good thing. Not only did the Marquis' Mansion send you Good wine and good food, even the emperor praised it orally, and gave two jars of royal wine to give you people a shock!" We were overjoyed after hearing this. We didn't expect that we would get such good luck when we first entered the palace on duty, but this kind of good luck made people feel sad afterwards. Shocked.
After Luo Zhong waited for us to calm down, he added: "There is another person who is also full of praise for you. He is His Highness the Crown Prince. He asked you to go to the East Palace to meet him tomorrow."
Before the prince left, he said something. I originally thought it was a casual remark, but unexpectedly it turned out to be true. I was frightened and said, "Why did your highness the prince ask me to enter the palace?"
Luo Zhong sat down lazily and said, "What could be the matter? His Highness the Crown Prince is full of energy and ordinary people cannot keep up with him. He must be seeing your skill and want to promote you!"
Ning Boyang had a look of envy on his face and said, "That's a good thing. Second brother, you must seize the opportunity!"
Luo Zhong smiled again and said: "That depends on luck! You guys clean up and drink the imperial wine with everyone later. I haven't had it for a long time. I really borrowed it from you today." After saying that, he stood up. He walked out, walked a few steps, and then turned back to me and said, "By the way, the Marquis's Mansion sent you a message, asking you to go to the Marquis' Mansion the day after tomorrow! What a lucky boy you are, to have a relationship with the Marquis' Mansion. It seems, It’s a true inheritance from Brother Liao!”
Although it was haha, I also felt a little shy and blushed. Luo Zhong smiled again and said, "How long have you been coming to my place? Why are you still so shy!"
While he was talking, a young eunuch from the palace came to announce that at Yin time tomorrow, the emperor would go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain. He asked Yiluansi to accompany him, and asked me to accompany him by name. After everyone heard this, they were surprised and happy. Luo Zhong opened his mouth wide and stared at me with his eyes, saying: "Good boy! You Zhang Ying, you are lucky!"
It turned out to be the beginning of spring in the 18th year of Hongzhi, and there was a drought in the north without rain. Emperor Hongzhi had always been worried. After taking Longhushan pills, he felt much stronger, which made it easier for ministers to discuss and choose a day to go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain. Originally, at the beginning of every summer, the emperor had a ceremony to pray to heaven, so the ministers all agreed. Unexpectedly, it was a bit chilly that morning. Emperor Hongzhi climbed up to the Temple of Heaven alone and recited a prayer. When he came down, he could hardly stand. I stood guard under the altar and quickly stepped forward to help him. Only then did I realize that the emperor was not as thin as usual. His face was pale, and he could tell he had suffered from the cold.
Everyone hurriedly sent the emperor back to the palace. I was the royal guard on duty that day, so naturally I followed him. The emperor took the hot soup and felt a little better, so he asked the young eunuch to go to the imperial hospital to find the imperial doctor.
Seeing that the emperor's complexion was stable, everyone felt relieved. As the emperor was resting, he left the palace one after another. The entire palace was quiet, and I carefully guarded it, strictly prohibiting any noise from outside.
While I was guarding outside the palace gate, the emperor walked out unexpectedly. He was wearing clothes and came slowly with the support of two young eunuchs. I quickly bowed and saluted, then stepped out of the way. The emperor had already spoken: "Zhang Ying, there is no need to be formal! I just want to take a walk and relax!" I said quickly: "The emperor is not in good health and should rest in bed."
The emperor shook his head slightly, coughed a few times and said: "How can I lie down? There are so many things to deal with. I feel uneasy!" He found a place to sit down and said: "It's really cold in the morning. It's good to get some sunshine here. !" Then, they asked me about my family background, and I answered them one by one.
The emperor listened and said with a smile: "It turns out that your family has been a doctor for generations. It's very good. What medicine do you think I should take?" I couldn't help but touch the back of my head and said: "Your Majesty, you occasionally feel cold. Take some to get rid of the cold." Just take the medicine. The main thing is to get more rest. You are weak and really need to rest." The emperor laughed and said, "These are commonplace words. Hey, I am also a cure for all diseases!" He then asked me about the harvest of Baoding Mansion. As for the matter of Mahu, I knew only a little bit about it, so I gave a brief answer. When it came to the civil uprising, the emperor was a little worried and said softly: "This may be my fault. I sent the ceremonial supervisor to investigate. They should be restrained to appease the people. Hey, I am ashamed of my ancestors by making such a big fuss!" I don't know where the courage came from, and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. People all say that you are a good emperor."
The emperor was overjoyed, but a little worried, and said: "It is a world where those who win the hearts of the people, hey, I have misused many people in recent years, especially that Li Guangli, who has been corrupt and perverted the law, formed cliques for personal gain, and has led to chaos in the government. . Fortunately, all the lost property has been found. When I am healthy, I will definitely revive the imperial court!"
