Chapter 271 Shaojun and traitor
Although it was the first day that the New Emperor had entered the dormitory, there was no festive atmosphere on the streets. All the pedestrians were in a hurry. Even if the various restaurants were opened, their business was mostly scattered. Even the shops on the streets and alleys were much lighter. Even the small vendors who were hawking their voices were a little weak, which looked very different from the previous efforts.
However, facing such a deserted scene, Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied. He walked and nodded and said, "Yes, Father...ah, when my father was alive, he always remembered the sufferings of the people. Now everyone has passed away. Not many people want to enjoy and indulge in it. I think he will feel comforted."
After hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Liu Jin and Gu Dayong who came out today naturally agreed. Although Xu Xun responded symbolically, his heart was very open. After all, it was not his father who died. Even if the people were moved for a while, they could not have the time to mourn. However, although the ban on slaughtering, drinking, eating meat, etc., has ended. After all, those powerful, powerful and rich people have become much more at ease in this limelight, so it is inevitable that those places such as restaurants and shops are deserted. However, Zhu Houzhao is in love with his father, so he will naturally not expose this fact.
He was summoned to Chengqian Palace by Zhu Houzhao just now. He thought that the little emperor had something important, but what he saw was Zhu Houzhao who had already changed into a casual dress. He immediately understood. In the past, Emperor Hongzhi was in charge, but now no one could stop Zhu Houzhao from leaving the palace. When Zhu Houzhao asked him where he should go, he racked his brains. After all, even if the emperor obeyed filial piety, he did not really give up filial piety on the 27th day, and it was not good to be caught by the ministers.
He was determined not to let Zhu Houzhao go to his family now, but Zhu Houzhao didn't want to go to the Marquis of Shouning, Jianchang, and Zhu Houzhao didn't want to go to the houses and teahouses. He was not familiar with the places like Dingguo Mansion of the British Duke. As for restaurants and teahouses, even Liu Jingu Dayong tried to persuade him.
...In the end, he finally had a sudden idea and thought of the most suitable place.
At this moment, standing in front of the door, Xu Xun went up and knocked on the door. In just a moment, a crack was opened. When he learned that the group was coming to look for his eldest son, he heard the word Xu again. The old man who responded to the door hurriedly gave in and quickly went inside to report. Soon, a housekeeper came out and looked at Xu Xun's six or seven people. He respectfully bowed first, and then said, "Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry. The eldest son may not be able to find time to see you for a while..."
The reason why he came to the palace was because Zhu Houzhao had just lost his father. Thinking that Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua was also sick, Xu Xun mentioned him and wanted to come and take a look. By the way, he also mentioned that Wang Shouren wanted to raise his son but his relatives were not here, and he would regret it as much as he did.
Now that he heard the butler's words perfunctory, he immediately became unhappy.
"It doesn't matter if he can't get the time. We can go to see him! Besides, today was not just to see him, but to explore Wang Hua... Mr. Wang is sick. Come in and report it quickly, and then say that Mr. Zhang is here. How dare he not see me?"
If it were put in another house, the other party would be puzzled for a while after Wang Shouren returned home from Xiyuan, but after Wang Shouren returned home from Xiyuan, Wang Hua had interrogated him strictly. As the confidant of the old and young masters, the housekeeper was right next to him. When he heard this, Xiao Marquis Zhang thought about why this group of people was so ignorant, he immediately widened his eyes and said hurriedly: "Everyone, wait, the young man will go in and report, and then go in and report..."
Seeing that the person turned around and rushed in as if he was flying, he even staggered and fell to the ground when he went up the steps. Then he got up desperately and ran into it. Xu Xun couldn't help but look at Zhu Houzhao helplessly and said, "Your name is, I'm afraid you won't be able to use it in the future."
"Who knows that this title can be remembered!" Zhu Houzhao curled her lips angrily, then raised her head and said, "At worst, I can claim to be a country in the future.
…Well, it’s good to be a general, it sounds majestic... Oh, it’s so boring to stand here and wait. He has already recognized us and just follow him in!"
Zhu Houzhao, the little emperor, took a step and rushed in without saying a word. Xu Xun sighed and could only follow behind. I don’t know if the butler had ordered the servant to avoid it or other reasons, but everyone went in unimpeded. When they finally arrived in front of the five main rooms, a scream came from inside. In a moment, a young man opened the bamboo curtain and walked out quickly. When he saw the person coming, he was completely stunned.
"Wang Shouren, long time no see!"
When Wang Shouren heard the butler mention Mr. Zhang tremblingly, he immediately realized that he was the one who came in person today. But he expected that he saw such a person standing in his own yard. He still took a breath and forgot to salute after he quickly stepped down the steps. However, he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, why did you come to me? How did you make this white dragon fish suit? There are entourage guards outside.........."
"Looking at me, since I've come out, of course I've made a good arrangement! I've been here, so take me to see what your father is doing now. This disease seems to have been cured for a while, right?"
When Wang Shouren learned that Zhu Houzhao was coming here, he was going to see his father. Wang Shouren felt a heat current rushed straight into his mind, but he still firmly reached out to stop Zhu Houzhao who was about to break in. He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate for you to leave the palace. It's even more inappropriate to see your father again. First, my father is ill, and I'm afraid that there will be a Tang Qi to the emperor; second, my father is a minister, and the emperor is the king, and he has no such rules since ancient times; third..."
"Okay, okay, I'll say you'll be the first, second and third, and it's still over!" Zhu Houzhao felt a sense of chest tightness. After interrupting Wang Shouren, she said annoyedly, "This is not outside. It's nothing that I'm half short as I speak. Did I become a tiger when I become an emperor? Where did you point at my nose and scold me for being impatient?"
When Wang Shouren heard Zhu Houzhao mention it, he couldn't help but feel depressed. He couldn't help but look up at Xu Xun. Seeing that the other party was nothing, he thought about it and then stood up, but bowed and said, "This time, the emperor will be the emperor in the future, which is very different from when he was the Taizi in the past. It doesn't matter if I was accused of not understanding etiquette, but if the emperor was told that he did not have the emperor's majesty, I will never be redeemed. However, I have been serving my father at home for these days, and have sorted out some terrain information about Datong and Juyongguan in Xuanfu. If the emperor does not abandon it..."
"Great!" Zhu Houzhao then smiled and nodded vigorously at Wang Shouren, "I did not read the wrong person. You are not those pedantic old men! Okay, I just listen to your advice. I will not go see your father anymore. You told him to be healthy and not to be busy going back to the yamen to work. You must know that you are in good health..."
Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi's face suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and his nose was a little sore. He immediately changed his words: "You can only work more in the future when you are in good health. I still hope you and your father will work for me! Pack up the information you have sorted out, and I will take it back and read it slowly!"
Wang Shouren then glanced at Xu Xun, and saw that he offered to help with it, the two of them quickly walked out of the yard. As soon as they went out, they saw that there was no one around. Wang Shouren dragged Xu Xun aside and lowered his voice and said, "You are crazy. The emperor has just arrived at the throne. Do you know that because you led troops into the palace, sealed the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau and the Imperial Hospital. The cabinet masters and the ministers and ministers have gathered in private several times. Even the word "Zhu Xu" has been mentioned, so you can't calm down?"
"Then the emperor must let me calm down!"
Xu Xun answered helplessly. Seeing Wang Shouren being silent, he knew that the other party knew what he meant, so he changed the subject: "As for the emperor coming out today, it was because he had been holding it in the palace and couldn't get out of this depression, so I wanted to ask the emperor to relax. But the emperor didn't want to go to the Marquis of Shouning and Jianchang Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marquis of Marqui
…”
"Then I'm here? Aren't you baking the Wang family on the fire?"
Facing the depressed Wang Shouren, Xu Xun smiled and said, "Who has never been to join the cabinet these days? Ling Zun was the top scholar, taught for the late emperor for many years, and served as a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy and a minister of the Ministry of Rites. If you have the qualifications, you are already qualified. In addition, you are the son..."
"Wait, wait!"
Even though Wang Shouren was always bold, he was still frightened by Xu Xun's words at this moment. After drinking in one sip, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and stared at Xu Xun for a long time. After all, he didn't say anything again, but suddenly turned around and walked towards the study.
Until he walked straight into the study, found all kinds of scrolls of all sizes from the bookshelf, and selected two more books, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Xun and said, "You should know that the ministers were not appointed by the ministers. If he had not been promoted by the court, his father would be laughed at even if he became the ministers!"
Xu Xun looked at Wang Shouren calmly, but avoided answering this question: "Brother Wang knows, what have I been lobbying for the emperor these days to meet the British Duke Dingguo Company's eunuch Xiao? The emperor plans to change the current dynasty meeting to one day every five days, and to reincarnate the Wenhua Palace in Yongren and Xuan's three dynasties."
Wang Shouren took a breath again. If he simply changed the court meeting to every five days, the ministers would definitely be angry and advised, but to restore the Wenhua Palace to ask about politics, it means that the ministers no longer only see the emperor at the court meeting, and they can't say a word, but can meet the emperor in normal times. The smooth political affairs are almost obvious. Therefore, it is difficult for him to predict the court's reaction to this matter. After a long time, he asked word by word: "Is this your idea, or the emperor's idea?"
"Do you think I would start with such a big thing from the beginning? Of course it was the emperor's intention. The morning court changed, but there were only five things to be reported, but the morning court that was gone, but there were more Wenhua Palace. I think people with knowledge should know the benefits and harms. You know a lot of people, and Lingzun is also respected. Please make more mistakes in this matter."
Although the two have been together for only a few months, they already have a good understanding of each other. Looking at Xu Xun who is smiling, Wang Shouren couldn't help but clench his fists, then nodded and said, "You are right, but you just came to the throne and went to encounter such things. The emperor is really..."
After hiding his sigh at Zhu Houzhao without regard for the consequences, Wang Shouren said seriously: "Well, I will say this to my father! However, you have to persuade the emperor more in the future, just to bring the emperor to my house today. My father was beating his chest and stamping his feet, saying that you are a talented person with a great future, but don't be called a treacherous minister. It should be noted that from ancient times to the present, the young master has more treacherous ministers, so don't miss yourself!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lingzun, for reminding me." Xu Xun also knew what Wang Shouren reminded me. However, Zhu Houzhao's temperament was there, and to be fair, only such a young emperor could tolerate a person like him who did not follow the norms, so he could only regard this kind advice as a warning. When he only packed up his things and left the house, he could not avoid saying to Wang Shouren, "By the way, Li Mengyang mentioned last time that you asked you to give lectures? How about the lectures last time?"
When talking about this, Wang Shouren immediately became very energetic: "Of course it was a great success. It's a pity that the city is narrow, and many people don't have any seats to you.
