In the small courtyard of the Green Vines.
In the backyard, Su Ce squatted down and placed the bricks he had brought over on the edge of the hot spring pool.
He spent thirty wen to hire a long-term worker on Zhengyang Street to transport the bricks in.
Su Ce naturally did not have the stamina to do such heavy work.
However, he could still lay bricks.
He was very slow and serious as he fixed the bricks in the pool together.
There were many iron pipes under the bricks, and each iron pipe was connected to a stove. In winter, it could heat the swimming pool and truly realize the model of an artificial hot spring.
After the bricks were built, he was already panting from exhaustion. He could not mix the cement, so he could only stop the construction and slowly sit on the armchair beside him. He began to bask in the sun and drink tea to rest.
Time passed slowly and the sun was warm.
* Cough cough *
After a series of soft coughs, Su Ce slowly fell asleep with his book in his arms.
……
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao had already returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity valiantly.
He was like a big rooster with high fighting spirit.
He had heard a lot of reasoning from Su Ce and learned a lot of arguments to refute.
He wanted to see what these bastards in the imperial court could say.
"Father."
Zhu Houzhao walked to Wenhua Hall and found Zhu Youtang who was reading the memorial.
When Zhu Youtang saw his son, he put the memorial aside, took a sip of tea, and asked,"What's the matter now?"
"Father, hold another court meeting!" Zhu Houzhao said. Didn't they not open a shipping company? I'll let them drive this time!"
Zhu Youtang was stunned for a moment before he chuckled and said earnestly,"Oh, you, you've learned some knowledge again, right?”
It was a good thing that the Crown Prince was studious. Zhu Youtang was gratified and naturally would not attack the Crown Prince's confidence.
"The elders and ministers in the imperial court are all great teachers who are well-educated. When you become well-educated one day, you can reason with them.”
Those who could stand in the Hall of Martial Valor and listen to the court meeting, who wasn't born with two rolls of Jinshi? Many of them were even scholars of the Imperial Academy.
Most of them were more than fifty years old before they could wear the red and purple clothes to stand in the imperial court. They had spent half a hundred years learning. How could a little fellow like you, who was still wet behind the ears, debate with others?
"I don't care!" Zhu Houzhao snorted. Anyway, you're just holding a court meeting! I've learned a lot this time! I must kill them!"
Zhu Youtang was speechless.
He thought for a moment and said,"Alright, I'll open it again tomorrow morning."”
The court meeting was not held casually. Other than the time of the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor had to inform the ceremonial supervisor when the other court meetings were held. The ceremonial supervisor would go to Taichang Temple, and Taichang Temple would inform the cabinet, which would then issue the order.
This process was very troublesome.
However, for his son, Zhu Youtang did not mind holding another court meeting.
He was a good emperor and a good father who loved his son.
He only had one wife and one son, Zhu Houzhao. The other son died not long after he was born. Since then, Zhu Youtang had no more sons.
He gave all his fatherly love to the Crown Prince in front of him.
Although he was mischievous and mischievous, Zhu Youtang still had high expectations.
He didn't know why his son's personality had changed. He also didn't know what method Yang Tinghe had used to make his son change so much that he actually began to ask about the matters of the imperial court.
However, this was undoubtedly a good thing for Zhu Youtang.
Even if it did not conform to the procedure, Zhu Youtang would still hold another court meeting for the sake of the crown prince of the empire.
He gave Zhu Houzhao a heads-up and said,"If you can't win against others tomorrow, don't be angry in the court. You are the Crown Prince, the future Emperor, so you must know etiquette and propriety.”
"I know!" Zhu Houzhao said. If he couldn't win against others, then he would lose. If he lost, it would only mean that he didn't have enough knowledge. Next time, he would learn well and do it again.”
Hmm?
Zhu Youtang was slightly stunned.
Not bad.
This kid's comprehension ability is getting higher and higher. It's a good thing!
Yang Tinghe, oh, Yang Tinghe, I've let you teach the Crown Prince for three years. These three years of teaching are getting more and more effective!
"Good! I like hearing this!"
Zhu Youtang waved his hand." You can return to the Palace of Spring and Harmony first. I'll go to the central people to inform the ceremonial supervisor. Tomorrow morning, you can go to the Palace of Martial Valor to listen to the government."”
No matter how the Crown Prince messed around, as long as he was under Zhu Youtang's nose, he could control the situation and not embarrass the Crown Prince.
……
This night was very difficult for Zhu Houzhao. He was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. He repeatedly hugged the " Record of the Founding Ancestor " and read and memorized it.
Zhu Houzhao was the most underrated Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. He was capable of literature and martial arts, and was very intelligent, but he was also stubborn and rebellious, so people's views of him were divided.
The next morning.
Zhu Houzhao was wearing a purple-red crown prince's dragon robe. He walked majestically toward the Hall of Martial Valor under the protection of the Eight Tiger Eunuchs of the Eastern Palace.
Humph! Move aside! This prince is going to pretend!
What was worth mentioning was that the current Eight Tigers were not the Eight Tiger Eunuchs that would terrify future generations.
Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had yet to ascend the throne, so the Eight Tiger Eunuchs in the Eastern Palace, led by Liu Jin, did not have much power.
In the Martial Meritocrats Hall.
All the officials stood in the line, feeling strange.
Yesterday, there was a court meeting, and today, there was a court meeting. This was somewhat illogical.
Zhu Houzhao accompanied Emperor Hongzhi of the Great Ming Dynasty and arrived late.
After Emperor Hongzhi took his seat, the eunuchs sang the ceremony and the court session began.
"This time, Zhen summoned all the ministers because the Crown Prince has some new insights and hopes that all the ministers will correct him.”
Emperor Hongzhi was also an emperor who understood etiquette. He was very respectful and good to his officials, and was deeply loved by all officials.
The officials became even more suspicious. They stole a glance at Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao, who was standing beside Hongzhi, and their hearts skipped a beat.
This Crown Prince was not someone to be trifled with. He still remembered that the son of the Minister of Rites had once fought with the Crown Prince over a ferocious beast. In the end, the Crown Prince had almost crippled the son of the Minister of Rites.
What new insights did such a stubborn Crown Prince have that needed to be corrected?
The officials were nervous.
Zhu Houzhao was not afraid of strangers. He looked at the officials arrogantly and said,""I want to open a shipping company!"
Whoosh!
The Left Imperial Censor of the Imperial Censorate stepped forward and cupped his fists."Your Highness is young and shouldn't interfere with the government affairs. Opening a trading company is not child's play.”
These words made Emperor Hongzhi a little unhappy.
"What do you mean, Censor Yuan?" he asked in a deep voice. Tell me, what do you mean by the Crown Prince is young and should not interfere in court affairs?”
He pointed at Zhu Youtang indifferently and said,""He is my son, the Crown Prince of the Empire, and the future Emperor. He should not interfere with the government affairs, but your son is suitable to interfere with the government affairs, right?”
Censor Yuan was scared out of his wits. Although Emperor Hongzhi loved all the officials, was it that simple to be an emperor who could single-handedly bring about the revival of the Ming Dynasty and reverse the chaotic situation of Chenghua?
"I, I didn't mean that."”
Emperor Hongzhi said calmly," If there's a reason, then reason with it. Don't say things that are not true, and don't treat my son as a child. He's the Crown Prince. Do you need me to repeat it in your ear?”
"I understand. I will obey."
