Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 582 Don't Want to Leave the Forbidden City

Zhu Youjian was not in a hurry to see the Queen Zhou, but first called Xu Zhaohua to the imperial front and asked the Queen about the way back to Beijing.

Due to his shy relationship with the queen, Xu Zhaohua did not tell Zhu Youjian about the emperor's eldest son, King Hui, and others.

However, Zhu Youjian could still see that Xu Zhaohua was a little out of his mind, with a melancholy look on his brows, so he couldn't help getting up and wanting to touch Xu Zhaohua's shoulder.

But thinking about the incompatibility between men and women, not to mention that Xu Zhaohua is still his righteous daughter and an unmarried daughter. As an emperor, he can touch his concubines, but he still has to be measured in front of other women. Zhu Youjian still puts his hands away. back.

However, Zhu Youjian still expressed his concern: "What's wrong with you, you seem to be very uncomfortable looking like this, do you feel tired of staying in the Forbidden City, if you want to leave here, I can immediately allow you to resign , the will of marriage will be given to you immediately."

"No, my son doesn't want to leave here, and I don't dare to think about other things, it depends on him." Xu Zhaohua hastily rejected Zhu Youjian's proposal.

"It's said that the Forbidden City is a prison, and you still don't want to leave, so just stay." Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing.

"I don't think he is a cage, I think it's nice and quiet here! Hehe!"

Xu Zhaohua smiled, with a relaxed and cheerful look in his eyes.

Now she really thinks that staying in the Forbidden City is the best existence. Once she leaves the Forbidden City, she doesn't know if she will be disturbed by the prince and officials.

Seeing Xu Zhaohua's pretty expression, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but widen his eyebrows: "Forget it, as long as you like to stay here, follow me to Kunning Palace and bring the western perfume."

When Xu Zhaohua thought that tonight must be the time when Zhu Youjian reunited with the queen and other members of the royal family, it was expected that King Hui and King Yong would be there, and if he went, he would be harassed by King Hui again. Thinking of this, Xu Zhaohua was busy Take a step back:
"Father, the son-in-law is now the supervisor of ceremonies. It stands to reason that he can't have too much involvement with the harem, so the son-in-law will not go to Kunning Palace with the father. I also ask the father to forgive me, and I also ask the father to take the place of the son. Explain to the queen mother."

Zhu Youjian was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Zhaohua to take the initiative to avoid suspicion, he was quite happy in his heart, and said in his heart: "It can be seen that people from Huiwang's party should try to get in touch with her after visiting Tongzhou, otherwise she would Don't start being so careful."

"It's very good that you can understand this truth, then let me go by myself."

Zhu Youjian said and suddenly turned around again: "Zhaohua! I have ordered him to be the governor of the Northeast, and now he can be regarded as a second-rank official. You are all not young, and he has not yet taken a concubine, and even connected rooms. There is not one, if you want, you may as well tell me directly."

With that said, Zhu Youjian pointed in the direction of the Supervisor of Ceremonies: "Although it is clean, the water is deep, and many people are staring at it. If it is chic and comfortable, it is far less than outside the pass."

Xu Zhaohua's heart was very warm. She understood Zhu Youjian's meaning, and she couldn't help tears filling her eyes and her cheeks with a smile: "My son understands what my father means. Don't worry, my father. After three months, my son will give my father a gift." An answer, and an answer to myself."

Zhu Youjian was a little confused. He didn't understand what Xu Zhaohua meant, but he didn't bother to understand. He didn't bother to guess what his daughter's family was thinking.

Zhu Youjian just nodded and went to Kunning Palace.

At that time, the Kunning Palace was already filled with a large group of people, including Zhu Youjian's concubine, the prince, and the prince's family.

"My son has seen his father!"

As soon as Zhu Youjian came, he saw Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cihuan standing outside the court, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you go inside?"

"My aunt and younger sisters are all inside. Although they are close relatives, it is inconvenient. I dare not make mistakes without my father's imperial order!"

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cihuan said together.

Zhu Youjian nodded. He admired the two princes' understanding of the rules: "You don't have to be so restrained. Since you are a family, you don't have to be too strict with men and women. The customs of Ming Dynasty should be more open. Follow me come in."

As soon as Zhu Youjian came in, he saw beautiful and delicious faces appearing in front of him, and the fragrance of the house was like a spring breeze, which made him walk up to Queen Zhou's side, and quietly put his hand under Queen Zhou's skirt. Inside, he moved wildly: "How on earth did you take care of it, it still feels so smooth to the touch now."

Empress Zhou's face was blushing, and she took Zhu Youjian's hand out. The other concubines pretended not to see it, and Concubine Yuan Gui took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment and asked the eighth prince to meet Zhu Youjian.

As soon as Zhu Youjian saw the eighth prince, he also hugged him into his arms. After all, this was his first son, and he had a feeling of licking the calf. He forgot to moles the concubine for a while, and only cared about teasing the eighth prince. .

"Now that the government is unified, we are all back here, but Jiong'er is still outside the customs."

Zhu Youjian couldn't help being moved by Zhou Hou's sudden mention of such a sentence, he put the eighth prince down, and comforted Zhou Hou: "I can't help my son, they always go out to do things, so it's hard to keep them in the deep boudoir. For example, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cihuan are the same, even though they are in Beijing, don’t run around us all the time, it’s time to do something, don’t end up with Ming’s royal family being inferior to a commoner’s son, how will we govern the world in the future!”

Empress Zhou knew that Zhu Youjian always had her own reasons, and now she didn't dare to argue. She took a look and saw that Xu Zhaohua was not there, so she asked, "Where is Zhaohua?"

"At the Supervisor of Rituals!"

No answer after a week.

When it comes to the supervisor of ceremonies, even she, the queen, can't say too much.

Thinking of what Zhu Youjian said just now, he decided to fight for the opportunity for his eldest son to perform in Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian: "Speaking of doing things, King Hui and King Yong are now able to do something, and even their husbands say they are talented. "

It's hard to say that it was praised by all the officials after Zhou, but that the husband praised the prince in order to prevent the emperor Zhu Youjian from being suspicious of King Hui and King Yong.

But Zhu Youjian still couldn't help smiling slightly, thinking that this week the queen really worried about her son, but it's a pity that she grew up in the deep palace, so she was inevitably a little short-sighted.

However, Zhu Youjian still couldn't help looking at Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong. Seeing these two standing aside respectfully, even though his concubines in the room were all gorgeous, they didn't look sideways, and they didn't look obscene. Sure, thinking to myself:
"Although it is unavoidably mediocre, at least he is better than me, the emperor, in terms of lust. Maybe the two princes are not capable, but their morals are still passable."

Zhu Youjian thought that he seemed to be too indifferent to these two people, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel pity for them for the queen's sake. In order to let the queen take the initiative in the bed at night, he also took the initiative to put Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cihuan together. Called over: "Let's talk about it, what business have you guys done now?"

"Father, I found that there are very few people who are proficient in algorithms, and even fewer people understand the law of money in the household department. I have suggested that the cabinet set up the Ming Economics School to train talents who understand the algorithm and the law of money!"

"This is a serious matter. The economy is the foundation of people's livelihood. Nothing can escape the economy of money and food, and talents are the foundation. If you want to strengthen the economy of Ming, you must first strengthen its people. Do it well!"

It was rare for Zhu Youjian to affirm Zhu Cihong, and Zhu Cihong was naturally very happy in his heart.

Zhu Cihuan sneered secretly: "I did this for you, brother, you are ashamed to say it is your own credit."

"Zhu Cihuan, what did you do?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"Returning to the father, the son-in-law has only become a school, specializing in the study of the collection of classics and history. Recently, a set of collections has been published." When Zhu Cihuan said this, Zhu Youjian was a little disappointed, and he just waved his hand: "I like it." Literature is right."

Zhu Cihuan deliberately showed a look of loneliness.

And Zhu Cihong was quite proud when he saw that his third brother did not get the praise of his father.

Zhu Cihuan naturally saw the expression of his elder brother Zhu Cihong, just smiled coldly, and secretly said: "You idiot will never understand the meaning of the words "hidden stupidity and clumsiness!"
