Although she had suffered the pain of losing her father, this time Emperor Hongzhi passed away in vain was still a huge blow to Empress Zhang. She has been smooth and smooth throughout her life. Even if the Ministry of Rites selected the Princess of Tai'e, she won the first prize. After marriage, the couple was harmonious and her husband was the emperor, but she was more pursuing than the rich man in the folk. She had never accepted a concubine for many years. The only regret was that besides Zhu Houzhao, her other son and daughter died halfway.

However, she never expected that her husband was only 36 years old, and this was just a cold wind that made him return so gently, leaving Zhu Houzhao and her orphan and widowed mother in the world. For her, it was undoubtedly the sky that collapsed. At this moment, although she had woken up, her head was still drowsy and even her eyes seemed to have lost their focus.

"Mother Queen, Mother Queen...".

"I'm not sick, so there's no need to take medicine." Queen Zhang suddenly burst out these words, and then she realized that the curtain had been raised high, and she was very angry for a moment. However, she supported herself and sat upright, and then she saw clearly that the person who was kneeling on one knee in front of her was not someone else, but Zhu Houzhao. Her eyes were immediately blurred, and she stretched out her hand to gently stroke her son's cheek.

"Of course my mother is not sick, so I took those quack doctors' medicines and did it!"

Although Xu Xun tried his best to persuade Zhu Houzhao not to overturn the ship of the Imperial Hospital, Zhu Houzhao was still resentful and said as a quack doctor as soon as he opened his mouth. Seeing that Queen Zhang looked confused, he reached out to hold her right hand and said, "My mother is just too sad and hurt her mind. Just rest well. There are so many things to be busy these days, so you have to rest well."

"Well, you are... Since the emptiness of the Lord, you have to take on the heavy burden left by your father!" Speaking of this, Empress Zhang couldn't help but feel sad again, and shed tears involuntarily, "I pity you are so big that you have to bear the hardest and most tiring burden in the world..."

"Mother, my son is growing up, my son will work hard!" Zhu Houzhao interrupted Queen Zhang's sad voice, and then said word by word, "My son has something to discuss with her mother today. If it weren't for the quack doctors taking medicine indiscriminately, the father wouldn't have gone back so quickly. Now we are all regretful and sad, but how can we get them cheap! Therefore, my son has ordered people to take all the eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau, the eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau, the eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau, and the eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Hospital, as well as the leaders of the Imperial Hospital, and they must be punished severely!"

Empress Zhang did not care much about state affairs before. Unless it was against Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, the two younger brothers, she would be resolute and ask Emperor Hongzhi to punish those people no matter what. At this time, when she heard Zhu Houzhao say that she wanted to punish these eunuchs and imperial doctors, she hesitated slightly and asked: "Who are they?"

"Zhang Yu, I can't remember all the names of the eunuchs below for a while. There are Shi Qin, Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe from the Imperial Hospital..."

Before Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Queen Zhang suddenly interrupted: "Then how can you cure them if you fight?"

"According to my opinion, they are cheaper, so of course they should be killed to warn you!"

"This is not possible!" Although Empress Zhang was heartbroken about Emperor Hongzhi's death, she had a headache and fever on weekdays and was always treated with a headache and fever. The problem that she had been struggling several times was Liu Wentai's medicine to cure the disease. Not to mention that she had another concern. So after just a pause, she lowered her face and said, "They should die, but whether they were demoted, exiled, or guarding the border, they always worked hard for many years, so it would be fine if they were to save their lives."

"My mother!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly became anxious and stood up suddenly, "Do you also believe the nonsense that Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai and others say, "All the children are born is their power, or... or why the father had an accident this time was because he took some elixir. He planned to give birth to another younger brother and sister with me, "My mother,"

…”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly lowered his voice at the last sentence. Even so, Empress Zhang was still crying after hearing it. After a while, she said, "Since you know everything, then ask me? Houzhao, I haven't been there for four years after getting married with your father. The two empress dowagers and ministers tried every means to let your father take a concubine. He didn't know how much pressure he had to bear for this. Thanks to Zhang Yu and the people in the Imperial Hospital, you were born. As for this time, your father told me that you were alone and wanted to leave you with a younger brother and sister..."

"But Queen Mother, this is not the reason why these quack doctors killed their father!" Zhu Houzhao knelt in front of the bed again, looking at Queen Zhang and said softly, "My mother, even if they had made contributions back then, they had already rewarded them. To put it bluntly, Queen Mother was pregnant twice later, but her younger brothers and sisters died one by one. God knows if it was because they used the wrong medicine? As for this time, the father must have been bewitched by Liu Wentai. He killed his father with such a messy secret recipe. How could he forgive him!"

"This...you're right."

Queen Zhang was finally a little moved. Although Liu Wentai was easy to use and was kind of attentive, she even advised Emperor Hongzhi because of the piece of dragon, phoenix, Hanxiang jade presented by Xiao Jingjing this year, saying that she wanted to re-sent the court, but now that her husband's power has passed, these are no match for the relationship between husband and wife and the heart-wrenching pain. However, after thinking about it, she finally hesitated and said: "But if those things were spread before, your father's reputation for many years..."

"Mother, your reputation cannot be used as a meal!" Zhu Houzhao became even more anxious when he heard this, "My son will be the emperor in the future. Wouldn't it be enough to tell them not to write randomly? In this way, I don't know what to say, Xu Xun, come in!"

His shout immediately scared Queen Zhang. Seeing that there was no movement outside the door, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said angrily: "How come you, a child, are you so reckless? It would be fine if you actually let him, a foreign minister, enter the Qianqing Palace, but who am I, how can Qingxing see him?"

"You are my mother and the empress dowager of the future Ming Dynasty. What's the point of seeing my crotch and thighs?" Zhu Houzhao turned around and saw Xu Xun coming in for a long time, and was immediately amazed, "Xu Xun, why are you still doing that? You have never seen your mother! Besides, didn't you summon you the night before your father died?"

Hearing this, Queen Zhang couldn't do anything, so she could only reach out and put half of the curtain tent down. Sure enough, the next moment, she only heard footsteps from far to near outside. Soon, she saw someone hushingly saluting in front of the bed, said lightly, and then said, "Xu Xun, thanks to you who have been traveling around these days.

When you are young, you have to trust him, you should give more tips on everything and not let him do whatever he wants..."

"My mother!" Zhu Houzhao was angry when she saw Empress Zhang treating herself as a child again, "Xu Xun, Empress Wu was worried that the heavy punishment of Liu Wentai and others would hurt her father's name. Please help me persuade her!"

Xu Xun had just stood outside the door, and the mother and son inside could almost hear clearly. At this moment, he calmed down and said calmly: "The Queen had been very worried about before. Since Liu Wentai dared to hide in Wenyuan Pavilion, it must be that the three cabinet masters wanted to protect him, but that he took the Queen's concerns as a threat, and his heart was punished! However, the more such a person, the less he could not let go, otherwise the national law would not be discussed. Wouldn't the Queen and His Highness Tai'er always feel sorry for the Emperor who died young in the future?"

Seeing that Empress Zhang did not speak, Zhu Houzhao nodded at him with encouragement, as if she was suggesting to continue to apply strong medicine. Xu Xun paused slightly and lowered his head deeply again: "Besides, I'm sorry for my words. Before, the emperor was in power and almost everything was decided by the three cabinet masters of the cabinet. The six ministers outside were also old ministers who had been in three or four dynasties. Now His Highness Tai's Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne, which is different from the previous emperor's character and style. If he could use this matter to promote some young and promising young ministers who were willing to assist, he would also have more arms to help the outside court."

"of!"

Only then did Empress Zhang really move her. She grabbed the bed sheet under her, took a deep breath and asked, "Xu Xun, where do you start?"

"Empress, the three old masters in the cabinet were honored as Mr. When the emperor was alive, the emperor once entrusted His Highness Tai'er to them. According to the saying among the people, they were entrusted with the orphans. The three old masters had trust in their character, but no one was perfect. His Highness Tai'er was young. If there were some conflicts between the monarch and his ministers after ascending the throne, it would be inevitable that they would feel that the fault lies with His Highness. Moreover, these old faces are always the ones who decide major matters. These people are often stubborn and difficult to convince. Young officials who are similar to His Highness Tai'er have to endure their qualifications and destroy all their sharpness, so that they can enter the cabinet department. Between one and the other, how much pressure will His Highness Tai'er bear on the future?"

Queen Zhang still seemed to understand, but Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and slapped her thighs hard and said, "Xu Xun, I understand what you mean. This is called Xiang Zhuang's sword-dance and ambition to Pei Gong! Should we send someone to ask those young officials outside to report to punish Liu Wentai and others? The three of them in the cabinet must still be slow. Once I get accurate, those officials will stand on my side?"

The dignified Taihuozi spoke like a gang formed on the street. Xu Xun was so amused that he was amused and crying. But thinking that it was indeed similar to this principle, he had to nod and then added: "Of course, we can't just be young censors. We must find someone with weight to lead. This person must be old enough to be experienced and old enough..."

"I know I know, that is, I can keep the place... Stop talking nonsense, tell me, who is it?"

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was impatient, Queen Zhang also reached out and pushed the curtain away. Xu Xun opened her mouth and whispered two indifferent words. In the blink of an eye, Zhu Houzhao immediately focused her head, then stood up and patted Xu Xun's shoulder vigorously: "Okay, okay! Just do as you say. As for Liu Wentai, I will immediately be sent to the Inner Supervision Prison Prison to squat. I don't want to see him again! It's better to put two rats and cockroaches in to make him sleep or not eat well!"
