A carriage rolled past the Chaoyang Gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is a strange team, although the carriage is ordinary, but it is surrounded by the service of the guards of the Nanzhou Governor's Mansion, Nanzhou is a little different from here in terms of clothing due to the hot weather, the guards of the Governor's Mansion are awe-inspiring, carefully guarding this strange carriage, and driving into the wide royal road.

Nowadays, the people of Jingshi, their eyes are very vicious, just look at the demeanor and clothes, you can see the origin of the other party, just look at the military uniform, you can also distinguish the other party's origin, from Nanyang to Nanzhou, from Tianzhu to Kunlun Continent, no matter where the military horses come from, they have become accustomed to it.

The soldiers of Nanzhou always have a slightly wheat-colored skin, and as soon as they enter the Beijing Division, their eyes will inevitably look around, this is because Nanzhou is desolate and the weather is very hot, so as soon as they enter this prosperous city, it is like a hillbilly entering the city.

But if the soldiers from Tianzhu come, their skin is darker, but everywhere they go, they are a little vigilant, and even when they walk, their hands can't help but make a posture of holding a sword, it is said that this is because the Chu army has just gained a foothold there, Tianzhu has a large population, and occasionally there are always some local aborigines who make trouble, so these people are used to it, and their nerves are always tense.

In any case, no one has shown any more interest in this team.

Now the Beijing Division, no one will be interested in paying attention to these things, it is still the year of Zhengde, the year name has not changed, but the new emperor has ascended the throne, but the strange thing is that the new emperor ascended the throne, but did not change the dynasty, and it seems that there is no meaning to change the yuan, which is really contrary to tradition, but the palace change is really scary, there are too many people to participate, almost all the military horses in the Beijing Division, as well as nobles and businessmen, have joined in this excitement.

Although the emperor has changed, everyone's life has not changed, and they still work when they should work, and they still dream of death when they should be drunk.

The pace of life has been invisibly accelerated a lot, no longer the former leisurely, is the most leisurely people in the past, now most of them have also entered the yamen or into the workshop, everyone has their own things to do, not everyone can be satisfied, but at least, everyone's life has improved a lot.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a tanned young man, whose face was childish, but with a little sorrow.

When he came all the way north, he heard the bad news that Master Liu had ascended the throne.

Even if Zhu Houzhao is playful, of course he knows what it means, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there is no two monarchs in the country, and there are no two in the sky, and he even thinks in horror that this trip to Beijing may be the end of his life.

How did it come to this?

Zhu Houzhao couldn't figure it out, he has always trusted others easily, just like he used to trust Liu Jin unconditionally, and he relied on and trusted Master Liu even more.

"It seems that everything is different, little Liuzi, little Liuzi, what should I do?" Zhu Houzhao sat in the car, lowered the curtains, he was holding a little kangaroo in his arms, the little kangaroo didn't seem to stand the cold weather, curled up in Zhu Houzhao's arms, although it was wrapped in Nanzhou's cashmere blanket, it was still uneasy, it stuck out its tongue and licked Zhu Houzhao's chin.

Zhu Houzhao was preoccupied, hugged the little kangaroo tighter, and sighed, now he wanted to fly into the palace, to see his mother, to question Master Liu, and with a little fear, there was a sense of unpredictable blessing and misfortune.

After a year or two of tempering, Zhu Houzhao has grown up after all, although he likes the weather in Nanzhou, and likes people who speak a little rough there, but Zhu Houzhao knows that he must come back, must meet his mother, and must give an explanation to his ancestors.

The carriage had arrived at noon.

The Metropolitan Guards of Nanzhou were about to hand over the carriage to the palace guards.

Who knew that here at the noon gate, the guards were like facing a great enemy, and a military attache came out proudly and said, "Who is here?" ”

The guards by the carriage didn't know what to call Zhu Houzhao, and they were short of words for a while.

The military attache said, "But Your Majesty? ”

Your Majesty...... There can only be one person to call it, but Zhu Houzhao is called His Majesty, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it, the leader of the Metropolitan Guards hurriedly said: "Exactly, we are ordered to protect Your Majesty into Beijing......

"Can't pass." The military attache didn't wait for this person to finish speaking, and he had already blocked the car without hesitation, with no doubt in his tone.

"But......" someone has to argue.

"No, but, if you can't pass, you just can't pass."

Zhu Houzhao in the car has already exploded, this is his home, and now that it is occupied, he can't go home, since this is the case, then what should he do when he comes back?

Who knew that the military attache guarding the gate continued: "Since Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you enter and exit through the noon gate. Naturally, he should enter the palace from the Daming Gate. ”

When this sentence came out, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't react for a while.

Shouldn't he be the Marquis of Dongdu? Now there are still people who call him His Majesty and call him the Son of Heaven, which is unexpected.

The carriage had to be rerouted, and sure enough, on the side of the Daming Gate, the gate had been opened, Zhang Yongzheng was looking forward to it, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao's carriage, his face was a little excited, no matter what, this emperor was brought up by him after all, and he had deep feelings, he hurriedly got on the carriage, bowed to the ground, and said: "The slave has seen the emperor." ”

The curtain of the car was opened, and it was not Zhu Houzhao's head that poked out, but the kangaroo's small head, the little kangaroo looked at the outside world in panic, his body trembled, not because of the cold, but still afraid.

Zhang Yong was dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, a head poked out, but it was Zhu Houzhao, who Zhang Yong was familiar with, Zhu Houzhao did not pay attention to Zhang Yong, but said to the little kangaroo in a matter-of-fact manner: "Little Liuzi, this is Zhang Banban, don't be afraid, Zhang Banban is very good at taking care of others, are you hungry?" Don't worry, when you see your mother, I will teach someone to prepare food for you. ”

The wallabby barked a few times, Zhu Houzhao smiled, and hurriedly pulled down the curtain and said, "It must be frozen, Zhang Banban, you get up." ”

Zhang Yong was speechless, so he had to get up and said: "The slave maid is ordered by the Queen Mother to welcome His Majesty into the palace. ”

After that, the carriage sped up, and under the leadership of Zhang Yong, it quickly headed for Kunning Palace.

Along the way, Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked in the carriage, "Where is Master Liu?" ”

Zhang Yong showed a little embarrassment and said, "Liu ...... The Emperor went to the Advisory Bureau early this morning and will not be able to return until later. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded his head and didn't say anything, the carriage quickly arrived at Kunning Palace, and at this time, Empress Dowager Zhang had been waiting for a long time, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly got out of the car, rushed up with the wallaby in his arms, tears spilled out, and said, "Queen Mother......"

Empress Dowager Zhang also had tears in her eyes, but she scolded: "You bastard, where did you go, my mother doesn't want it......" scolded halfway, but she couldn't scold, so she had to help Zhu Houzhao up and said: "You are so dark, ah...... What is this......"

Empress Dowager Zhang was startled by the kangaroo that came out of Zhu Houzhao's arms.

Zhu Houzhao said with great interest: "It's called Xiao Liuzi, come, Xiao Liuzi quickly say hello to the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang's heart, which had just softened, couldn't help but twitch again, and shouted angrily: "Until now, you are still a child's surname, hey...... You come in and talk. ”

Entering Kunning Palace, Empress Dowager Zhang retired from the palace, and only a nurse stood aside with a child in her arms.

Zhu Hou looked at the child and couldn't help but say, "Queen Mother...... You...... You...... Is this my brother? ”

Empress Dowager Zhang's face was bloodless for a moment, and she scolded angrily: "This is your nephew." ”

"Oh, oh......" Zhu Houzhao thought that it was Liu Chengfeng's child, and he suddenly didn't know what mood to use to face it, but he still got closer, and said sincerely: "It's cute, it's like my sister, and my little sixth son is as cute." ”

After that, his eyes fell on the kangaroo again, and said, "It's just that the eyes are not as beautiful as my little six sons." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang had no way to take him, sighed, and said: "Emperor, you are still confused now, do you know how dangerous it is for you to come back this time, the mourning family sometimes really thinks, I would rather you not come back, but now it is not the same as before, today is coming back, you can't talk nonsense anymore, the emperor's side, although he has mentioned many times in front of the mourning family that he misses you very much, but what the emperor thinks, who can know, he will see you later, you speak carefully, you must no longer claim to be me, you want to call him Your Majesty, You have to do the courtesy, you know? If he tells you that you will be re-enthroned as emperor, you must not agree, just say that you are a mediocre person and cannot be used, this may be his temptation of you, but it is not necessarily, in short, you should stop being confused, this is a matter of life and death. ”

Zhu Houzhao was in a gloomy mood, tears flashed out of his eyes, and said, "Queen Mother, is there really no one in this world who can be trusted?" Liu is like this, and so is Master Liu. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang interrupted him sternly: "Don't call Master Liu again, call Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Houzhao bit his lip and stopped talking, tears fell on the kangaroo in his arms, and the little kangaroo seemed to feel something, sticking out his tongue to lick his clothes.

At this time, Gu Dayong came in and said, "The emperor has returned to the palace and asked the slave maid to come and pick up His Majesty to speak in the Zhengxin Palace." ”

Your Majesty, your majesty, the emperor is really awkward.

Empress Dowager Zhang said coldly: "You go, remember the words of the mourning family." ”

Zhu Houzhao was submissive and obediently followed Gu Dayong.
