Although the emperor has royal power, we modern people know that the emperor is actually a human being.
As a person, you will be afraid, shy, embarrassed...
What's the meaning?
This means that some people are naturally afraid of those ministers, because ministers are all extraordinary people who have experienced great storms, especially some veteran ministers, who are already dozens of years old and have long been like old foxes.
In contrast, emperors and princes did not undergo such training.
For example, Emperor Wanli was afraid of Zhang Juzheng since he was a child. Emperor Zhengde was also frightened by the menacing energy of his civil servants.
But now Zhu Houzhao is not afraid of these people.
For one thing, he already has social experience. Not to mention scolding him, he would not hesitate to do anything.
Secondly, he knew very well that there would never be such a thing as deposing a prince in this dynasty.
The emperor would not do anything to him.
Of course, the servants serving the prince would not think so.
If the prince sneaks out of the palace and is discovered, the eunuch guarding the palace gate and the eunuch taking the prince out of the palace may be implicated.
Qiuyun was so anxious that he couldn't even sit or stand in the room.
Later, a young eunuch ran over and said, "Miss Qiuyun, His Highness has returned to the palace!"
"Where?"
"On the way to Qianqing Palace."
Qiuyun put down what she was doing, lifted up her skirt and ran out.
It doesn't matter if you run away.
She suddenly remembered the last time she walked too fast to avoid the rain and bumped into the prince...
So many emotions came to my heart, and my teeth bit my lip.
But unfortunately, she didn't catch up.
When I ran to the entrance of the square in front of the Qianqing Palace, I could only look at the back of the man in the indigo robe from a distance. The figure was very small, but he calmly climbed up the dozens of white stairs step by step.
There were people guarding the front of the hall, so she could only hide in the corner and take a peek.
Watching the Crown Prince's figure gradually disappear from sight.
"My son, please pay homage to your father!" Zhu Houzhao knelt down and bowed.
The emperor and queen of Qianqing Palace are all here today,
There is also a wealthy old man with long eyebrows. He seems to have a lot of body hair, with sideburns and beard integrated into one body, and nasolabial folds are very deep.
In addition, there were three or four slightly younger officials.
There was only one person Zhu Houzhao knew, and that was Zhan Shiwang, the young master of Zhan Shifu.
When the emperor saw his son, he first slightly propped himself up from the throne to see if he was okay.
The queen's expression was also very anxious, "Zhao'er, are you okay?"
On the way here, Zhu Houzhao had already thought about how his parents would feel like this, so he simply raised his head higher and said, "Mother, please look carefully. I am okay."
After confirming this, Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved.
Glancing at the ministers on both sides with unhappy expressions, I also understood what the atmosphere was like now.
So he asked in a 'bad' tone, "Nonsense! Why are you dressed like this?! How is this appropriate?!"
When the emperor said this, he first mentioned his clothes and clothes, not to mention sneaking out of the palace. The sensitive minister immediately caught the idea of protecting one's shortcomings.
But since when are you still playing this game?
So the old man with long eyebrows stepped out of the queue to interrupt before Zhu Houzhao could reply, and knelt down solemnly, looking extremely serious.
"Your Majesty! I arrived in Beijing yesterday and heard about His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation for loyalty, filial piety and benevolence. I was not very happy and sighed in my heart, but I didn't want to hear about the Crown Prince's visit to the street restaurants today. I think His Highness the Crown Prince is sensible and will never act arbitrarily. At this point. Maybe the eunuchs Liu Jin and Zhang Yong of the East Palace came to play with folk wild interests, leaving the prince's rich body in a place of neglect. Moreover, the prince's nobleness is different from ordinary people, and the people's etiquette is not clear. If they talk frivolously, they may hurt the prince's saints. Virtue! I ask His Majesty’s decree to kill such a villain first and then quickly!”
If Zhu Houzhao were really a child, he would be scared. After all, he was a group of adults who looked like they were going to eat people. A mouth that kills people.
But he was a little angry instead,
The emperor asked himself what he wanted to say, and this man interrupted angrily. It was because Hongzhi had a good temper and was used to being bullied by them!
As expected, Hongzhi didn't care about such 'disrespect' and continued to introduce to Zhu Houzhao: "Zhao'er, this is Wu Kuan, Zhanshifu of Zhanshifu. In the eighth year of Hongzhi, he returned to his hometown to observe filial piety, and now he has just returned to Beijing. Wu Aiqing's poems and books All good, you should ask for advice in the future. Also, leaving the palace today was really audacious, how could you put yourself in danger like this?!"
The emperor was still trying to make peace with Xi Ni, so he didn't take Wu Kuan's words.
Wang Hao saw this situation and followed the advice, "Your Majesty! What Wu Zhan said is absolutely true. If Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others are easily spared..."
"Wu Zhan's matter, Wang Zhan's matter," Zhu Houzhao also deliberately interjected, which is called back and forth, "...I insisted on leaving the palace. The Liu Jin you are talking about made a mistake and asked me to beat him. Liao Banzi is currently recuperating from his injuries, and Zhang Yong advised him, but I didn’t listen.”
The prince's words made all the monarchs and ministers in Nuan Pavilion stunned for a moment.
After reading all the history books, it is almost difficult to find a superior who took the initiative to take responsibility for his subordinates.
In the atmosphere of ancient imperial power, the emperor was naturally not at fault. How about saying that the sinner had issued an edict to prove that the matter was serious?
The prince can also be compared.
Even if it is true that he has made a mistake, he will blame it on his subordinates, and he will be blamed for being a lax disciplinarian.
But Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to take care of himself.
"Your Majesty..." To be honest, Emperor Hongzhi didn't have such courage. He was a little nervous and wanted to continue talking: "Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense. Your character is very clear to several gentlemen."
"Father!" Zhu Houzhao raised his hands and bowed, "My son encountered two things when he left the palace this time. One was the lack of medical treatment for poor people, and the other was the bullying of men and women by a playboy! Now that someone has bumped into him, My son, I naturally came across these two incidents. I wonder if you have any feelings in your heart? Is there anyone who has done something to uphold kindness and justice?"
This was unexpected again.
Not only did he not avoid talking about his mistakes in leaving the palace, but he even took the initiative to talk about his experiences?
Wang Hao sighed in his heart. The prince was still the prince in his heart. Although his move out of the palace was a bit outrageous, his kindness and kindness remained unchanged.
But Wu Kuan probably had little contact with Zhu Houzhao.
To be honest, people who didn't care about those two things in the first place would most likely think it was an excuse when the prince who made a mistake mentioned it.
It's like if you don't believe in serving the people, and others use this as a reason in front of you, you will sneer at it.
So Wu Kuan retorted sternly, "The prince's words are wrong. Even if we have time to act bravely when we see justice in the future, it will be a helpless act. Correcting the mistakes of the common people is a small kindness, but admonishing His Highness is a great loyalty! Among them, the priorities , there is no comparison at all.”
Zhu Houzhao also became angry, "Today I saw with my own eyes that two women selling tofu were molested by a dude in the street. A woman's reputation is more important than her life. How can this be considered "little"?!"
"Emperor Liu Ao of the Han Dynasty paid a private visit in disguise and summoned Zhao Feiyan to the palace. He deposed the queen, disrupted the government, and the people were in dire straits. His Highness said, is this evil greater than having time to save a helpless people in the future? Song Huizong visited Li Shishi privately in disguise. After that, the shame of Jingkang, China Lu Chen, Your Highness, is this evil greater than a dandy’s bullying of men and women?”
Wu Kuan is a learned man after all. He talks about these allusions to you all at once, and he is really clear and logical. After all, the 'lessons of history' cannot be denied.
Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was not a vegetarian. He immediately replied: "You turn a blind eye when the people are about to die of illness. You turn a deaf ear to the humiliation of a woman's honor. Which sage book is this to teach you this?! According to what you said, I will be like this today." Without leaving the palace, these two things have become a complete tragedy, but in your mind, Wu Kuan, they have become a good thing?! You are trying to trap me in an unkind and unjust place!"
Wu Kuan's expression was serious, "Your Highness's daily practice of sage knowledge is naturally a good thing for the Emperor, a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, and a good thing for the people! Furthermore, can His Highness alone be able to take care of the unjust things in the world?"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, "Didn't you Wu Kuan just say that you don't care about these small kindnesses? You ministers don't care about it and don't let me care about it. Then of course it's unjust everywhere and you can't control it! Now you actually do it again You turn around and ask me if I can handle it? How ridiculous! How arrogant!"
At this point, he became even more excited, "Wu Kuan! Don't bully me for being a child. I am not as sharp as you, a learned man! I don't understand how the happiness of a family of three and the reputation of two women are so important." You Wu Kuan are so worthless here, where have you learned all your kindness and virtues!"
"Zhang Yong!" Zhu Houzhao shouted loudly.
"The slave is here!"
"Starting from tomorrow, find some Dongchang gangsters to keep an eye on the Wu family's women. I want to see if this matter is big or small for Mr. Wu!"

Sorry for blowing everyone up with such a small number of words, thank you for your support~
Especially some very familiar IDs, after all, you can know them at a glance after a few years.
In fact, the earliest one, I wanted to write about history when I entered the industry. Writing about cities was a complete accident. Now that I have finally opened this book, it does feel different from the city, and it feels more interesting to write.
Of course, changing the category is a big test for the author. Although it is interesting, I don’t know how well I will write and whether I will be disappointed. I used to have a general idea of what to write about cities, but now I feel very confused. perturbed. The rules of the starting point have also been changed. I don’t understand the recommendation of 1 round and 2 rounds at all. Now it seems that I am obsessed with reading a book, so please give me the data.
Originally, Huya was very reluctant to open this book. She felt that Zhu Houzhao had nothing to write about (I played against her for four or five hours that day), so she hoped to be gentler.
