Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 531 His Royal Highness is really a great sage

  Emperor Hongzhi's mood probably changed countless times.

  At the beginning, I didn’t like it, what would my son do as a female celebrity.

   At that time, he could bear it, and hoped that the prince would return to the right place.

  Later, emotions began to accumulate. Seeing Zhu Houzhao's happy appearance, all this could not be hidden from Emperor Hongzhi.

  At this time, Emperor Hongzhi began to worry, fearing that he would go astray, the prince, there should be things that the prince should do.

   But even so, Emperor Hongzhi endured, but his worries began to intensify. He is the prince, not someone else, so he should find an opportunity to beat him.

   Today is for beating, if it is said that Emperor Hongzhi is particularly disgusted by this, then it is not, it is more like a move under some kind of worry.

  The prince is the future emperor, and the well-being of the people of the world rests on him.

   But now, he was really angry, and he flew into a rage. He was so tired and never changed. This is no longer a question of what wrong he did, but a question of attitude.

  Zhu Houzhao held his head up.

  Fang Jifan sighed inwardly, he had nothing to say.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Come here!"

   "Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing cried, he felt that he was one step closer to the coffin.

  A little **** came tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Cabinet Scholars Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Imperial Scholars Shen Wen, Taichang Temple Shaoqing Zeng Ziyan, Head of the Ministry of Rites..."

  He reported a series of names, and then said: "They hope to meet His Majesty and report the good news to His Majesty."

   "Announcement?" Emperor Hongzhi was in a rage, and felt ironic. At this moment, what joy could there be, and he was full of anger.

  He opened his mouth and was about to say something.

  Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Why don't you see them, Your Majesty?"

  Xiao Jing also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, after seeing Liu Gong and others, it will not be too late to punish them."

  Zhu Houzhao held his head high, with a high-spirited look.

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help it: "I..."

  Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Hurry up, it's cold outside, let Liu Gong and others come in."

  He was already eager to make up for it, so he simply got bolder and hurriedly urged.

  The **** dared not neglect any more.

  Emperor Hongzhi had to put away his anger.

  His eyes were still fixed on Zhu Houzhao.

  When outsiders come, he still needs to be patient, so he tried his best to calmly say: "I'll clean you up later."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Father is not reasonable."

   "..."

  Fang Jifan thought to himself, in fact, apart from my father, nine out of ten fathers in the world are unreasonable. His Royal Highness is still too young to be beaten.

But at this time, Liu Jian and others came in, and saw that the prince and Fang Jifan were there, and they were all smiling, especially Xie Qian, who had just put on a sweater, and it was really not cold, so he wandered around outside for a couple of times. He insisted that his hometown, Zhejiang, was actually colder than the capital. The cold in the capital was windy, dry, and not bitter enough. It was different in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Snow, but the taste of the cold air is really unbearable.

  So he asserted that the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also need sweaters.

  Everyone bowed down, Shen Wen took the lead and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

   Such an opening remark made Emperor Hongzhi stunned, with an unspeakable embarrassment.

  He took a deep breath: "Why do you like it?"

Shen Wen opened his sleeves: "Of course it was His Royal Highness and Marquis Dingyuan who worked tirelessly to weave the sweater. Your Majesty, once the sweater is out, there are countless people alive. Sooner or later, His Royal Highness's virtuous name will spread throughout the world, and countless people will endure the wind and cold." The soldiers, civilians and common people are all grateful in their hearts, and the ministers are honored..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

  Weaving…

  What is the difference between this and female red?

  Is this… sarcasm?

  The prince is not doing his job properly, so he plays this?

  He looked at Liu Jian: "Liu Qing's family, what do you mean?"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's freezing cold today. In this world, countless toiling people have to go out to work even in severe cold. People's livelihood is hard. In order to fill their stomachs, there are three snow days. The feet are too thick, why don’t you still have to go out? Over the years, in the memorials in the newspapers of various prefectures and counties, there are quite a few of them, which are the remains of frozen to death on the roadside. Every year, I don’t know how many people, there are countless. Your Majesty loves the people like a son, didn't you also feel emotional back then?"

  Emperor Hongzhi's heart skipped a beat...

   Frozen to death.

   In this day and age, it is inevitable.

  Even... This can almost be regarded as a normal 'loss'.

   Every year in a county, dozens or even hundreds of them don’t freeze to death. The local parents and officials can be said to love the people like their own children.

  In recent years, due to the promotion of anthracite, this situation has been alleviated a lot, but there are still many.

   After all, clothes cost money. How can ordinary people be willing to buy those expensive clothes that can keep out the cold.

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "What does this have to do with weaving?"

  Liu Jian said with a smile: "Of course it does matter. Aren't the clothes to keep out the cold all made by weaving?"

   "..."

"Your Majesty..." Shen Wen was a little anxious, he said: "My son, I knit a sweater for me..." He came to open the sleeves, revealing the fashionable black and white textured sweater: "This is my minister, Shen Ao. He was woven by needle and thread, he is a filial son..."

  Shen Wen, maybe it was because his son was too scumbag in the past, so since Shen Ao became a normal person, he wanted to show off to others every day. Now, this kind of showing off has become a habit.

Shen Wen continued: "After wearing this sweater, I feel unusually warm, and its warmth is definitely not under a fur coat. I am old, and sometimes when I go out, I feel unbearable when the cold wind blows. , but today, walking into the palace, the whole way, the body is very hot, your majesty, tell me, isn't this a treasure?"

   "The son of the minister also wove one for the minister, and the minister is also filial."

  The other said again: "Your Majesty, my subject..."

It is a good thing to let your son show his face in front of His Majesty. The country governs the world with filial piety. This filial piety is more important than anything else. Let Your Majesty know that you have a filial son. The future is limitless.

  Emperor Hongzhi was slightly taken aback.

   Dare to love, everyone here is becoming a female celebrity.

   And they are all knitting for their father.

  Thinking about it this way, Emperor Hongzhi's face softened slightly, and he suddenly felt that he seemed...too excited just now.

  Could it be... This sweater is warm, so the prince, like everyone else, was afraid that their father would catch a cold, so he knit the sweater himself for...

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao: "Where's your sweater?"

  Although the tone was still harsh, the anger in his heart disappeared.

  If this is the case, this is just pure filial piety, but it is something to be admired. Besides, everyone can weave, why can't the prince weave.

  I am too harsh on the prince.

   Feeling somewhat guilty in my heart.

Zhu Houzhao listened to his father's question about his sweater, and said: "My son has already knitted one and a half pieces, one is for the empress dowager, and there is half a piece for the queen mother. If I knit again, I have to knit another one for my sister. "

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi was speechless.

  The truth is this.

  If you have good things, of course you should hurry up to honor the Empress Dowager, this is commendable filial piety.

   As for giving it to his mother, it makes sense, even if the crown prince gave it to him, he still wouldn't want it, and he had to give it to Queen Zhang to feel at ease.

  Finally, I gave it to the princess. The one I love the most is Zhu Xiurong. The weather is cold, and she often likes to go to the forest garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. This...it should be.

the question is that…

  Listen, it's still harsh.

  Fang Jifan said excitedly: "I also wove one, but my father is far away in Guizhou. In Guizhou, even in winter, he is not afraid of the cold. He is warm. How about honoring Your Majesty?"

  Emperor Hongzhi's embarrassment eased a little.

   "Oh, it seems..." Emperor Hongzhi pretended to be understated: "It seems that His Royal Highness misses the Empress Dowager, this... can hardly make him filial, Fang Qing family, I appreciate your kindness, thank you."

Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "I have devoted myself to Your Majesty, and died. Not to mention weaving clothes, but there is a fire pit in front of you. Your Majesty asked me to jump into it. I frowned. I read my name upside down, and it was called Fan Jifang. "

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Hey, it turned out to be a misunderstanding."

  He was very embarrassed, looked at the puzzled ministers, and then gave Xiao Jing a cold look.

  Xiao Jing shuddered, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be in a more terrible situation, which not only offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also made His Majesty think that he had become a troublemaker.

  He wanted to cry but had no tears, so he hurriedly prostrated himself: "Your servant will die."

   "Your Majesty..." But at this time, Liu Jianlang said: "It is not surprising that this clothes can keep warm and keep out the cold. The reason why the old officials and others came to announce the congratulations is to congratulate Your Majesty, and it is because the prince is wise."

  The prince is not filial, but wise?

  Emperor Hongzhi took a look at Zhu Houzhao. Many times, he couldn't associate Zhu Houzhao with the word virtuous.

  But this sentence came from the mouth of the cabinet chief assistant university scholar, so the meaning is completely different.

  The Chief Assistant of the Cabinet is the head of the officials. In a sense, what he represents is the attitude of the officials.

It is really not easy to gain the approval of all officials. Think about how many generations of emperors in Ming Dynasty have changed their tricks, and they have been blackmailed by these courtiers and scholars. Bend, or use various spring and autumn brushwork, or all kinds of unofficial history, if you scold you, you still think people are praising you.

  And now... I may not be able to be convinced by the real officials to say that I am wise.

  He Zhu Houzhao, He Dehe Neng, is also qualified to be called a virtuous person who is solemn?

  Emperor Hongzhi was speechless in surprise: "Is Liu Qing's family too well-known?"

  ………

  Chapter 5 has been delivered, begging for a monthly pass, it’s the end of the month, please give me some support.
