Suddenly, he thought of decades ago...

At that time, he was not a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and he also saw such a young child.

That was when Emperor Hongzhi was young. As a prince, Emperor Hongzhi had just discovered his identity as a prince. At that time, the court was excited. Although Emperor Chenghua was reluctant to recognize this son, as a symbol of the emperor's successor, he still could not stand the struggle of all officials and had to let the eunuchs lead Emperor Hongzhi to the front of all officials.

At that time, Emperor Hongzhi was almost so big that everyone thought that this must be a timid and timid child, a child who could not see the light from birth and was under the power of Concubine Wan, with a timid and panic-faced look.

But... Liu Jian will always remember that day.

This child, he slowly walked to the ministers.

People held their breath and looked at Emperor Hongzhi, who was still a child, but saw Emperor Hongzhi holding his hands, bowing deeply to them, and said crisply: "I have met you masters, you masters, thank you for your hard work."

With just such a short sentence, Liu Jian remembered that countless ministers at that time cried bitterly. Then, for the sake of the prince and countless ministers, they fought against Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan, and demanded that Emperor Chenghua be appointed as a crown prince again and again...

A scene from the past appeared in front of Liu Jian like a revolving lantern.

Now... he is also a child, after more than thirty years of experience, he appears in front of him so calmly and politely.

At that time, it was precisely because of Emperor Hongzhi's bow and greeting that Liu Jian at that time made him secretly resolve that he would work hard for the child for the rest of his life.

And now... he suddenly had a wonderful feeling...

He stood up without hesitation, burst into tears, and bowed to Zhu Zaimo: "Old minister, I have seen the emperor's grandson!"

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang were also very excited.

Just this greeting made them unable to help but cry, as if everything they did became worth it at once, as if... the Ming Dynasty ushered in a new dawn.

The two of them had red eyes and they bowed: "I have met Your Highness."

Emperor Hongzhi could feel the three of them crawling on the ground, trembling on their bodies.

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, as if he had begun to immerse himself in a long-standing memory. His lips trembled and he took a deep breath: "Zaimo, go and help the three masters... up."

Zhu Zaimo nodded, and had already stepped forward and grabbed Liu Jian's shoulders: "Master Liu, please get up quickly, I can't be such a big gift from Master Liu..."

"Your Highness..." Liu Jian said something vaguely and started sobbing.
