Zhang Zhou heard some meaning.
Queen Zhang seemed to want to make peace with him.
Perhaps Empress Zhang discovered that Zhu Youtang was gradually leaning toward his friend between his wife and his friends. Empress Zhang did not dare to treat the matter with the arrogant and rude attitude she had before, and began to seriously reflect on it and try to eliminate it. misunderstanding in order to achieve a "win-win" effect.
In an ordinary family, a wife would not have to worry.
But the situation in the emperor's family was different. For emperors in the past dynasties, the most indispensable thing was women. The so-called concubines are always available but confidants are hard to find. Probably the emperors of the past dynasties cherished the friendship that is as light as water.
What's more, Zhu Youtang has never made friends in his life, but he is also an autistic person.
It really becomes "Brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes."
As Xiao Jing said, Zhang Zhou knew what was going on.
…
…
"Hurry up, move it here and put it away neatly! What about you, didn't you eat this morning? Or are your legs numb from squatting in a pit?"
East Palace.
Zhu Houzhao was directing several eunuchs to carry the silver box for him.
Zhu Houzhao sent people to transport the money that Zhu Houzhao had stored outside the palace before. This time it was no longer a secret to his father, and he planned to use the money to show off in front of Zhang Zhou.
After the box was opened, the white money made a group of eunuchs in the East Palace feel dizzy.
Gao Feng reminded: "Your Majesty, your Majesty will no longer inquire about the money, but if you move here, if the Queen knows about it..."
Originally, only Liu Jin among the eunuchs of the East Palace knew about Zhu Houzhao's blackmailing of the Zhang brothers.
But as time went by, Zhu Houzhao could not hide the matter in front of this group of people, and the eunuchs of the East Palace gradually knew the whole story.
Naturally, they were afraid that the queen would find out about their son's blackmailing of his uncle.
Zhu Houzhao sat on the rocking chair and said with an indifferent expression: "What are you afraid of? My mother never comes to the East Palace, so she will not ask me where I got the money! Even if I ask, I will say it is from my father. If she is rewarded, what else can she do?"
Gao Feng thought to himself, you are really tough.
At this moment, Liu Jin hurried back from outside.
Zhu Houzhao immediately stood up and asked, "How is it? Is Zhang Zhou here?"
"No..." Liu Jin cried sadly, "Mr. Zhang didn't go to Donghua Gate. It is said that he was led by Eunuch Xiao, and he and Duke Cheng Guo have already left the palace gate. I'm afraid... he won't be able to come!"
"Why?"
Zhu Houzhao was anxious. In his embarrassment, all the features on his face were almost wrinkled, "I clearly agreed with my father that when Zhang Zhou enters the palace, let him come to the East Palace and let him sit for a while! Now! Fortunately, he entered the palace yesterday and was only allowed to leave the palace today, but he was not even allowed to come to the East Palace for a walk? Father, he does not respect martial ethics!"
"ah?"
A group of eunuchs around were also anxious.
Gu Dayong hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, be careful what you say, don't be rude."
"Isn't that rude? Why don't you talk about martial ethics? He only cares about his own pleasure. He won't let me see people when they come. I just say a few words to him. Can the emperor say nothing? letter?"
When Zhu Houzhao got angry, he didn't care whether he was scolding the King of Heaven, the Emperor, or his father.
Anyone who messes with me will not be polite!
"Bring me a pen!" Zhu Houzhao said.
Several eunuchs looked at each other, Liu Jin said: "Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Houzhao said: "I want to report to you! I want to impeach the emperor for not keeping his word!"
"Pfft..." Liu Jin almost spit on Zhu Houzhao's face.
This prince is really spoiled. If something doesn't go his way, is he going to rebel? ! Even the emperor dared to participate in the impeachment. If word spread... wouldn't those civil servants laugh their big teeth off?
"Are you deaf? Get a pen! Study ink! If anyone doesn't work, I'll kick him to send a letter to my father..."
…
…
Zhu Houzhao wrote a memorial to "impeach" his father Zhu Youtang for "not respecting martial ethics".
After writing, Liu Jin will deliver it.
It was pointed out that it should be sent directly to the Chief of Ceremonies, and it was also said that this was considered polite. It was not sent directly to the General Affairs Department or the Cabinet. It was regarded as a son to save some face for me.
Liu Jin held this memorial, which was not written according to the specifications, in his hand and almost wanted to hit his head against the wall.
But now Liu Jin is extremely humble in the East Palace. He almost lost his life when the shadow puppet show turned into a stage play. Now it is only because Zhu Houzhao still treats him differently that he can continue to hang out in the East Palace, so he has to write this crappy memorial. Go and deliver.
After Dai Yi got the memorial, he hurriedly presented it to Zhu Youtang.
After all, this is the first memorial written by a son... It's not a congratulatory note, nor a summary of schoolwork, but actually scolding my father...
Dai Yidu felt it was ridiculous.
"His Majesty……"
Dai Yi presented the memorial to Zhu Youtang. Zhu Houzhao frowned when he saw that it was his son's handwriting.
When he saw the content above, his brows furrowed even more.
"Why don't you practice martial ethics?" Zhu Youtang asked Dai Yi sideways.
It was nothing in itself for his son to write a memorial to criticize his father. On the contrary, Zhu Youtang felt that his son was very straightforward. Furthermore, this was the first memorial written by his son. It was of extraordinary significance. No one had taught him anything. It was purely his own initiative. play.
Because no one dared to teach him to write this stuff.
Unless the person who taught him died.
Dai Yi swallowed his saliva and said: "It was mentioned in the previous martial arts books that people who do not respect martial ethics do not follow the rules of martial arts and use the method of attacking more than others or making sneak attacks..."
As he said this, he felt happy in his heart.
At any rate, this memorial was not sealed, so I could see it in advance and do my homework in advance. I knew what it was like not to talk about martial ethics. I'm glad. I'm glad.
When he finished speaking and saw the emperor's face, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
The prince scolded your majesty, but your majesty didn't understand. I had to explain on the side that I was full, right?
It’s better not to know than to know!
"Bastard!" Zhu Youtang slapped the memorial on the table. "I thought he had become more capable and knowledgeable, so he dared to write something for me, but it turned out that he was not good at writing, and in his eyes, he was incompetent and incompetent!"
When the emperor scolded his son, Dai Yi could only lower his head and remain silent.
Dai Yi said: "Your Majesty, not many people know about this matter. I guess only Liu Jin and my servants know about it."
The general meaning is that if we hide this matter, no one outside will know about the scandal of this son Shen Laozi.
"But what the prince said makes some sense." Zhu Youtang added.
Dai Yi: "..."
Zhu Youtang continued to sigh: "I promised him before that when Bingkuan entered the palace, he would go to the East Palace to teach him knowledge and let him know more about different knowledge. But I have been busy with court affairs these days. Bingkuan is also going to teach Duke Cheng the taboos of using troops in the northwest. Only then... Alas! The prince is not like me, he dares to speak out."
Dai Yi blinked.
Listening to this meaning, the emperor was probably very afraid of his aloof and unkind father when he was the prince, and the powerful concubine Wan Guifei in the Sixth Palace.
Now that the prince dared to break the barrier between the emperor and his ministers, and pointed out his father's mistakes in this way, the emperor felt very pleased.
This at least shows that the son has courage.
Dai Yi wanted to say, Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you just said about the prince being disrespectful?
How can such a thing be approved by Your Majesty? Is it because you didn’t dare to write this kind of thing when you were the prince?
"Bring a pen." Zhu Youtang said.
Dai Yi didn't know why, but he handed over the brush.
Zhu Youtang said: "Zhu pen."
Dai Yi handed over another red pen dipped in cinnabar, and saw the emperor seriously "marking" on his son's memorial.
Dai Yi felt even more strange now.
See you soon.
After the emperor finished reviewing, he added two sentences at the end, and then handed it to Dai Yida: "Go and give it to the prince. Tell him that his courage is commendable, and also tell him that I will not hide my faults. If it is my fault, it is my fault." Wrong, as compensation, let him go out of the palace for one day tomorrow. But he is restricted to only seeing Zhang Zhou, and all his actions outside the palace must be under Zhang Zhou's supervision. And let someone tell Bingkuan later .”
"Your Majesty, is this... inappropriate?" Dai Yi didn't want to listen to this kind of order.
If the emperor thinks that the prince is fooling around, he can just ignore the prince's memorial.
But now the emperor not only ignored it, but also dealt with it seriously. He even admitted his mistake to the prince himself... Even Dai Yi felt that the emperor was too humble. Is it really good for the emperor to do this?
Zhu Youtang frowned and said, "Do you even want to imitate the prince?"
"Don't dare."
Dai Yi could only take over the reviewed memorial.
Zhu Youtang said: "Remember to tell Bingkuan, don't let the prince go to crowded places, and don't take him to dangerous places. Scholars... don't need to come into contact with him! Now that the exam has just passed, people in the capital like to make irresponsible remarks. There are too many scholars in the country, so it is better for the prince to learn more arithmetic and the like...those things that are not suitable to be taught in the palace...that's probably what I mean."
"yes."
Only then did Dai Yi understand.
It was said that letting the prince leave the palace was a kind of compensation, but in fact, the emperor still used other methods to let the prince study.
Now that Zhang Zhou's identity has been leaked, the ministers all know that he has this person, and letting Zhang Zhou enter the palace may be discovered by outsiders. And now Zhang Zhou has failed to win the Jinshi... Before Zhang Zhou officially becomes an official, let Zhang Zhou go Teaching the prince knowledge will inevitably make the officials in the East Palace feel that it is against the rules. At the same time, it will also make them think that the emperor does not trust them and needs to find an outsider to teach them.
If you go to learn something while the prince is out of the palace, then you won't have such worries.
…
…
East Palace.
After Zhu Houzhao wrote the memorial, he actually felt a little regretful.
It's not that he thinks it's wrong to do this, but he feels that... the consequences of doing so may be very serious, and his father will probably ban him again, or even give him more homework.
"I am causing trouble for myself." Zhu Houzhao said angrily.
Liu Jin hurriedly said: "It is my fault for failing to persuade His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at him: "What does this have to do with you? Why are you so anxious to admit your mistake?"
Zhu Houzhao was anxious for a long time.
Finally, I received my dad’s personal approval.
Dai Yi personally delivered it to him.
After Dai Yi came in, he screened away all the eunuchs except Liu Jin, and then handed the thing back to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao read the above content and frowned: "What do you mean?"
Liu Jin laughed beside him.
Dai Yi said: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty thinks that your speech is somewhat reasonable, so I have specifically allowed you to leave the palace tomorrow, but you have also agreed not to go far, and must be under the supervision of Mr. Zhang Zhouzhang. If you have If you fail to do so... His Majesty will ask the guards to take you back to the palace at any time."
"Damn!" Zhu Houzhao slapped the table and said, "My father still has some conscience! This time he has shown martial ethics!"
