Chapter 939: Shen Xi is very important

Zhu Houzhao begged Zhang Mao for a little flower dog, which was completely whimsical and irregular, and he would say whatever he wanted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt is because it comes from the heart that the true feelings are revealed.

Not only Zhang Mao couldn't cry or laugh, but even Liu Jian and other ministers next to him didn't look good, Emperor Hongzhi's health was not as good as day by day, and he could pass on the throne to the prince at any time, but now the prince is completely a naughty boy who doesn't know the world, where is there a little bit of a gentleman's appearance?

Zhang Mao didn't answer immediately, Zhu Houzhao quickly pursed his lips and asked dissatisfiedly: "Old man Zhang, are you willing to give it or not, it won't be because you feel sorry for a little flower dog, right?" ”

"Uh......" Zhang Mao hesitated for a long time before replying, "The old minister will make arrangements after he goes back, the prince will be calm and don't be impatient, and it is important to see Your Majesty...... Well. ”

Zhu Houzhao grinned and nodded: "Then let's say okay, remember to send the little flower dog to the Chufang Palace, haha, I've seen the big dog, but I haven't seen the little flower dog, I don't know if it's fun." Turn around and let them bite into the ......"

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao rushed into the Qianqing Palace, and the old ministers present looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness on each other's faces.

Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang are such a son, and they have a problem with spoiling, but some think that it is due to nature. In any case, Zhu Houzhao at this time did not have the slightest appearance of a wise man in the eyes of the old ministers, and the road to teaching in the future was still very long.

It was sunset, and the ministers came out of the palace and went home.

Xie Qian and Liu Daxia walked side by side.

In recent years, the two have become very close, and after Liu Daxia was transferred from the governor of the three sides to the secretary of the military department, he and Xie Qian often walked around in private. Emperor Hongzhi knew the situation of the two, but he didn't ask about it, the main reason was that Xie Qian and Liu Daxia were both good ministers in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, and they didn't have the heart to fight for power and profit.

In Zhu Youji's eyes, it is very clear who can do things for him and who can entrust him with heavy responsibilities. With such an enlightened emperor, it is natural that ministers such as Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia will be born in history.

"Yu Qiao, Your Majesty's current body is not as good as before."

The two walked side by side, and Liu Daxia whispered to Xie Qian.

When facing the saint before, Xie Qian stood further forward, and saw that the emperor's face was pale and he kept coughing, even so, he still recruited ministers into the palace to discuss military and political affairs, focusing on the northwest frontier matters after the year.

The three cabinet scholars attended at the same time, the British minister Zhang Mao was originally in charge of the army, Liu Daxia was the secretary of the military department, and Zhang Sheng and Wu Kuan were in charge of the edict. Originally, they had a good conversation, but when they came out, they saw the unkempt prince, which cast a shadow on the hearts of the ministers who faced the saint this time.

Xie Qian said helplessly: "The Holy Dragon is in poor health, isn't it the time for me to repay the emperor's grace?" ”

Liu Daxia couldn't help but shake his head and smile, Xie Qian will always be able to speak, now what he wants to emphasize is that the emperor may not be alive soon, and the issue of passing on the crown prince, Xie Qian will avoid the important and light.

There is nothing to argue about this kind of question, Liu Daxia changed the topic and asked, "Yu Qiao has any news about Shen Xi in the local area recently?" ”

"Alas! What's going on with that kid, and what does it have to do with me? Xie Qian's face was disdainful, "I heard that he led his troops to the north at the beginning of the year, this time from Guangdong to southern Zhejiang, thousands of miles along the way, less than a year and a half, this battle will not be finished." I'm afraid that after the fight, it would be good if he could offset the merits. ”

Liu Daxia smiled: "Yu Qiao has no confidence in Shen Xi like this? ”

Xie Qian sighed: "It's not that I don't have confidence in him, I just think it's always good for this kid to suffer a little loss and hit a wall, you said that he has been an official for a few years, have you ever encountered setbacks?" It's always smooth sailing, which is not necessarily good for his future! ”

The truth is so, but Liu Daxia felt awkward when he heard it...... Do you want Shen Xi to lose the battle now?

Liu Daxia said suddenly: "Your Majesty agreed with me before on the candidate to lead the troops in the northwest, and occasionally mentioned Shen Xi, what does Yu Qiao think about this?" ”

"What?"

Xie Qian was really taken aback when he heard the news.

Leading the troops in the northwest, that's not a job that anyone can do, who are Yang Yiqing and Wang Qiong, they have been trained in officialdom for decades before they were transferred to the northwest, and there are six or seven chief military officers with titles in the northwest alone, who can hold it down?

Shen Xi is absolutely not qualified!

Xie Qian said: "Now he is using troops in the southeast, but His Majesty wants to transfer him to the northwest?" Could it be that Liu Shangshu recommended it to His Majesty? ”

Liu Daxia heard Xie Qian call himself "Liu Shangshu", and knew that Xie Qian had different views on this matter. Liu Daxia replied: "Your Majesty just mentioned it by chance, you said that in the past few years, in addition to the three battles of Shen Xi in Quanzhou, the northwest and the southeast, if you push forward, I am afraid it will be a negative battle against the northwest, right?" ”

Xie Qian was stunned, thought about it, and showed a wry smile on his face.

It's not that the emperor has to mention it, but he has to mention it.

Now the world calls it Hongzhi Zhongxing, although small disasters and small chaos continue in various places, but in general, it can be regarded as the country and the people's peace, Hongzhi once counted the number of wars are only a few, Ma Wensheng fought Hami, Shen Xi fought in Quanzhou to fight the Buddha Langji, Liu Daxia fought Tatar and Shen Xi in the southeast to level bandits.

Although the two battles led by Shen Xi are not worth mentioning in front of the military exploits of Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia, Liu Daxia has already played the Ming Hongzhi Emperor and fought with the Tatars, and the main credit is the artillery battalion led by Shen Xi himself.

And Shen Xi's oxcart array is the predecessor of the artillery battalion, which makes Emperor Hongzhi remember that Shen Xi has real skills, and specially sent Shen Xi to Guangdong to "experience".

Don't use an elephant to crack a nut?

You don't have to worry about the scabies in the southeast, I send someone else, and you go to ****** to deal with those Tatar barbarians, and leave a good frontier environment for me to pass on the throne!

Xie Qian gasped and said, "This kid didn't learn to climb, so let him run, is the step too big?" Brother Shi Yong, you have to make it clear to Your Majesty. ”

At the critical moment, Xie Qian changed his name again.

Liu Daxia smiled: "How can I not mention this stubble to Your Majesty? But His Majesty has no suitable candidate to lead the troops now, in fact, even if His Majesty likes Shen Xi, his age is always a problem, and he can't be convinced in the southeast, let alone in the northwest...... Alas! ”

The southeast is just a local civil official to make trouble for Shen Xi, and in the northwest, there are generations of noble princes who have guarded the border, before Liu Daxia went to the northwest, he was almost killed by Zhu Hui on the north bank of the Yuxi River, Liu Daxia is still an old minister of the Three Dynasties.

Shen Xi goes, let alone a civil official, even a military general will pull off. There is no profit and no early age, Shen Xi can't use military merits and promotions to collect those generals, because these generals are already princes, and there is no way to be promoted, what they want is not to make meritorious contributions, but to keep their current status.

……

……

Liu Daxia and Xie moved out of the palace, and on the side of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao saw his father, and was asked some academic things by his father, and then stayed for a family of three to eat.

Zhu Houzhao was sullen and thought: "The queen mother's belly is much bigger than the last time we met, is it about to give birth?" It's okay to have a younger sister, but if you give birth to a younger brother, it will be troublesome, and my father may abolish my crown prince and pass on the throne to my younger brother. Anything that happened to Yang Yong and Li Chengqian could happen to me. ”

Empress Zhang was full of the brilliance of maternal love at this time. Recently, she has rested well, her belly is getting bigger day by day, and everyone hopes that she can have another prince, so that the problem of the emperor's heir can be eradicated, and even the position of the Zhang family will be stabilized.

At the dinner table, Queen Zhang greeted Zhu Youzhu with cold and warmth, and the husband and wife were deeply in love, while Zhu Houzhao sat next to him listlessly.

Zhu Youzhu sent some clues, and asked with a straight face: "Huang'er, why don't you eat?" There is a standing and sitting phase, and you have to have the appearance of eating when you eat, you know? ”

Empress Zhang smiled: "Yes, Huang'er, you are the time to grow your body, eat more to grow taller, and have plenty of energy to study." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked up at the cold-faced father, and the smiling old lady, and said, "Father and queen mother, the child has been studying hard recently, and he doesn't have much pastime on weekdays......

Hearing the "pastime", Empress Zhang's face quickly turned cold.

You stinky boy, playing cards in the palace every day, kicking the bow, playing with women, you don't know what to do when you are a mother? If it weren't for your father, my mother would have exposed you and let your ass suffer!

Zhu Youzhu squinted at his son and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Zhu Houzhao grinned, stood up and said, "Father, the child wants to go back to the previous story, and the child spent a lot of effort to get it." Otherwise, if the child can pass the assessment, how about the father return it to me? ”

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Youzhu was angry and slapped the table suddenly, and the soup of several dishes on the table suddenly spilled out.

With just one sound, Zhu Houzhao sat down honestly, watching his father cough vigorously, while his mother continued to comfort and persuade him.

When Zhu Youzhu's anger subsided a little, Empress Zhang glanced at Zhu Houzhao: "Prince, quickly make amends to your father." ”

Zhu Houzhao is unwilling, I just want to get the martial arts novel back, it's not that I haven't studied, which time did you fail the school exam?

Isn't it what you advocate for clear rewards and punishments?

Zhu Houzhao got up aggrievedly, held his head high and said, "The child is right." ”

"What did you say?" Zhu Youzhu asked sharply.

Zhu Houzhao said word by word: "The child is right! ”

Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "You son of a, you are really bold, why did I give birth to such an evil obstacle as you?" At your age, I was so devoted to learning that I was afraid that I would not be able to remember my husband's teachings, but what about you? ”

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, you are afraid that your brother will rob you of the throne, but I am not afraid, if you have the ability, you will give me a younger brother.

Empress Zhang persuaded bitterly on the side: "Your Majesty, you can dissipate your anger." ”

"Ahem."

Zhu Youzhi continued to cough and gasped for a while before he continued, "Don't talk about it, let's just say that your husband, Shen Xi, the lecturer of the East Palace, look at the people who were thirteen years old, they had already won the top prize in the examination, ranked in the court class, and began to teach you, but what about you?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was unconvinced: "Let me take the test, I can also pass the top prize." ”

Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "I can't help myself, let you write a four-book essay, can you write it?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's mouth opened, but he still closed it honestly. However, in the end, he still expressed his attitude: "Since my father thinks that Mr. Shen has the ability, he should not be transferred, and the child likes to listen to Mr. Shen's lectures the most on weekdays." The current gentlemen are too pedantic for children to listen to their lessons! (To be continued.) )
