Chapter six hundred and ninety-eight: I live up to the king
When Zhu Houzhao talked about Batumonk, he couldn't help but smile coldly. At this moment, his tender face actually had a bit of the majesty of a king. He said in a disdainful tone: "Battumonk thought I would kill him. He underestimated me too much. I did want to kill him, but I had to take his head upright on the battlefield."
Ye Chunqiu said, "Your Majesty is wise."
These four words have almost become a catchphrase.
Zhu Houzhao also heard the calluses in his ears, and looked at Ye Chunqiu very sternly and said, "You are cured more now, talk less, I am talking, listen."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I'll follow the order."
Seeing Ye Chunqiu talking again, Zhu Houzhao showed a helpless expression and continued: "I won yesterday. You didn't see the relief of the civil and military officials in the court. Now the streets and alleys are talking about this matter. Zhenguo Mansion has become famous. I, the Duke of Zhenguo, are very pleased. In a few days, I have to ask the Ministry of Revenue to give me some reward."
"Uh..." Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but interrupt Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty is going to ask the Ministry of Revenue for rewards?"
Zhu Houzhao looked righteous and said, "Isn't this natural? Who turned the tide yesterday? It was the new army of Zhenguo, and Ye Aiqing! What official position is Ye Aiqing, a counselor of Zhenguo Mansion, who belongs to Zhenguo Mansion? It is my! I am the Duke of Zhenguo, and this time I have made great contributions to the country. He dared not to give rewards to the Ministry of Revenue. If I don't demolish the Ministry of Revenue, my name will be written backwards."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but shivered. He was also drunk with this logic.
Why do you think this little emperor looks like a teammate of Zhu (Zhu)? Finally, the civil and military officials in the court were very happy about this, and the new army of Zhenguo was already famous. After such a fuss, God knows how the princes in the temple would beat their chests and fall.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao smiled, looked at Ye Chunqiu, blinked and said, "But don't worry, I won't steal your credit. I just want some reward. After all, this merit is between you and the soldiers of the new army. I have ordered the court to discuss this reward. If you want to reward this time, I will not agree if they don't reward you, especially Ye Aiqing, ah... I almost took my life."
Ye Chunqiu said modestly: "Your Majesty praises you, I am just a merit of size..."
Zhu Houzhao became serious this time. He curled his smile and looked at Ye Chunqiu, and then said solemnly: "Do you still remember what you said? Whether you remember or not, I remember that you said to me yesterday that you are willing to go through fire and water for me, and do whatever you want, not because I am your monarch, but because I am this. You will keep your promise. As long as I need it, you will fulfill your promise. Do you remember? Do you still remember what I said to you on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"
Ye Chunqiu was a little confused and couldn't remember it for a moment. Seeing Ye Chunqiu's confused look on his face, Zhu Houzhao said in a heartache: "Oh, you forgot. You forgot it. It's only been a few days and less than a month."
Ye Chunqiu had to touch his forehead, sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, I am injured."
Zhu Houzhao's face became gentler: "Okay, for your injury, I have to blame you. You must remember it in the future. What I said is: If you don't let me down, I will never let you down. If you fulfill your promise, I will also fulfill my promise."
He spoke very seriously, and even his expression showed a bit of majesticity. Then he said again: "Recover well, there will be surprises later. Okay, I'm going."
After Zhu Houzhao said that, he walked away without forgetting to instruct the eunuchs in the imperial hospital: "I'll take care of Ye Xiu, but if there is a mistake, I will cut you."
surprise……
Ye Chunqiu was ashamed and then looked at the place in front of him. It should be the imperial hospital of the outer court, but it was still in the palace, but I don’t know where the surprise comes from. I hope it’s better not to be surprised or not.
During these days of recuperation, Ye Chunqiu relaxed and no longer paid attention to external affairs. This battle consumed a lot of energy for him. However, after careful consideration, it seemed that he had improved his sword skills. Whether it was sword skills or studying, it was impossible to work behind closed doors. After all, he still had to practice. Only in this way can he go to a higher level.
The medicine used in the Imperial Hospital was actually Baiyao, and the material was purchased by eunuchs. It seems that this Baiyao has begun to sell well.
This made Ye Chunqiu somewhat comforted, but he was thinking about the word surprise, but he felt a little embarrassed, and he said...
According to Zhu Houzhao's unreliable style in the past, Zhu Houzhao's surprise forced Ye Chunqiu's heart to be frizzy.
Early the next morning, he tried to get up, but at this moment, someone outside said, "The Empress is here."
Empress...
Ye Chunqiu was busy sitting on the couch and saw Empress Dowager Zhang leading a group of people in.
Empress Dowager Zhang did not wear a phoenix crown, but was just an ordinary hairpin skirt. It is reported that when the late emperor was alive, in order to save the treasury in the palace, Empress Dowager Zhang first used as an example to weave cloth and sew clothes on her own. Therefore, if there are informal occasions, she rarely wears a phoenix crown.
However, although this place is still in the palace, it is an outer court after all. Empress Dowager Zhang is wearing a simple hairpin dress, which surprised Ye Chunqiu.
The one who followed Queen Zhang was Empress Xia. Queen Xia was in formal clothes and did not dare to be careless at all. However, Ye Chunqiu's thoughts were not on this, but a woman behind Queen Xia.
She stood tall and beautiful, with a delicate face and a shiny skin. She had a faint sense of bookishness on her body, but her brows were slightly frowned, with a little worry, destroying a bit of beauty. Who is this person not Wang Jingchu?
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but be shocked. Didn't Jingchu stay in the Xie family and stay away from her house?
The next moment, he figured it out that she was visiting him...
Ye Chunqiu was about to salute, but Empress Dowager Zhang first said with a gentle smile: "No need to be too polite. The Ai family heard that you are sick, so they came to see you, well... Thank you for your hard work."
Empress Dowager Zhang walked slowly over, looking careless.
But her eyes kept falling on the boy in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a little impressed.
The emperor today really taught her to worry. Although her son is always good in the heart of any mother, Zhu Houzhao... well... obviously his temperament is a bit contrary to common sense. Empress Dowager Zhang was really worried. When she heard that Zhu Houzhao was going to bet with Tatar Khan a few days ago, Empress Dowager Zhang felt that it was not good. She was influenced by the eyes and saw this emperor, and he couldn't help but think of the late emperor. How dignified the late emperor was. Such an indecent thing would definitely not do.
The Tatars are Hu people. You are the most dignified person. What are you going to argue with the Hu people?
If you win, then you lose... What you lose is not only the decency in the palace, but also the decency of the entire Ming Dynasty.
