Renshou Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhou, or more accurately, the Grand Empress Dowager, had a very strong background.
The wife of Emperor Yingzong, the biological mother of Emperor Chenghua, had experienced three dynasties.
Emperor Zhu Jianshen of Chenghua in the previous dynasty favored Concubine Wan alone. Once, he was drunk and gave birth to Zhu Youtang with a female official in charge of the palace's treasury.
The funny thing was that the emperor had always thought that he had no son. If it wasn't for Empress Dowager Zhou and the eunuchs protecting Zhu Youtang, the emperor would never have known that he had a son.
Empress Dowager Zhou's kindness towards Zhu Youtang was very obvious.
Now, her two younger brothers had been beaten into pig heads. How could the old Empress Dowager not be furious when she was beaten like this at her age?
"Tell me what happened. Was it done by the Zhang brothers? This was outrageous! Relying on their sister, the empress, to do whatever they wanted was simply too much!”
Marquis Qing Yun Zhou Shou cried out,"Sister! Not the Zhang brothers. The Zhang brothers were crippled by us.”
"It was the crown prince who hit us!"
"The Crown Prince must be supporting his uncle, that's why he's so ruthless. They're family, we're outsiders.”
Empress Dowager Zhou was startled.
Crown Prince?
Why did he interfere in this matter?
Just because of his two uncles?
It couldn't be. The Crown Prince was mischievous and mischievous. He spent every day in the Eastern Palace researching some strange and lustful tricks. How could he have the time to support his uncles?
Empress Dowager Zhou could go through three dynasties and naturally had her own wisdom to survive in the harem. She said to the eunuch,"Invite the Crown Prince to the Benevolence Palace.”
"Yes!"
Not long after, Zhu Houzhao strode over with his hands behind his back and said with a smile,""Imperial Grandmother, you were looking for me?"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's arrogant appearance, the Zhou brothers shrunk their necks.
They were really afraid that this treasonous thing would suddenly give them two punches.
Empress Dowager Zhou smiled,"En, this widow hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you."”
"Did Imperial Grandmother get beaten up because of two Granduncles?" Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile. Yes, I did it."
Hiss!
Provoke!
This was a blatant provocation!
The two Zhou brothers were shocked. He actually said it so shamelessly without any intention of repentance?
"Imperial Grandmother, did you ask about the two granduncles 'vigorous posture on the battlefield?" Zhu Houzhao blinked.”
Empress Dowager Zhou was stunned for a moment before saying,"What?"”
"Oh, Imperial Grandmother, you still don't know?" Zhu Houzhao said,"My two granduncles have beaten my two uncles into a pulp."”
"They will either be beaten by me or wait for my father to deal with them.”
Empress Dowager Zhou's muddy eyes narrowed as she looked at the crown prince in surprise.
Was this still the previous Crown Prince who liked to cause trouble and be mischievous?
The Imperial Tutor of the Eastern Palace had taught him!
Empress Dowager Zhou had a kind smile on her face as she said,"Zhao 'er, come to the Palace of Benevolence and Longevity to see Grandmother more often.”
"Yes, yes."
Zhu Houzhao clasped his hands behind his back and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Empress Dowager Zhou smiled,"Your grandmother doesn't have anything good here. Grandmother also knows that you don't lack anything. This jade pendant is said to be a very good Hetian jade. Hanging it on your waist makes it look noble, take it and play with it."”
Zhu Houzhao took it and said,"Thank you, Grandmother. I'm leaving."”
"Go ahead."
After he left, the two Zhou brothers were still in a daze. They cried and said,"Sister! It was over just like that! He hasn't ascended the throne yet. When he ascends the throne in the future, how can our Zhou family live?”
"Bullshit!"
Empress Dowager Zhou angrily said,"Give this prince some respect for the crown prince!" If you dare to spout nonsense again, BenGong will tear your mouths apart!”
"Can't you see that he's saving you? Idiot!"
Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand weakly,"Only when you are all beaten can the emperor be fair and this matter come to an end."”
"You're already so old, but not a single child has intelligence. Other than thinking about bullying men and women every day, what else can you do?”
"If it wasn't for your surname Zhou, you would have been eaten by someone now. Get out of the palace!”
After Empress Dowager Zhou vented her anger, she said to herself,"However, is this really the work of the Crown Prince? Or did someone teach him?"
The Zhou brothers muttered," How is this the Crown Prince's idea? I think it's the Eastern Palace's Grand Tutor Yang Tinghe's rotten idea!"”
Empress Dowager Zhou sneered,"A civil official can do such a thing?"”
Empress Dowager Zhou revealed a meaningful expression. To be able to make such a decision, it wasn't impossible for it to come from the emperor!
……
The Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Zhang brothers who had been beaten up badly and rubbed his eyebrows fiercely.
On one side was his wife, and on the other side was the empress dowager who had raised him.
He could not side with anyone.
The emperor would also be troubled by family matters.
"Emperor, it really isn't that bengong likes to gossip, but we've already been beaten up like this. If we don't deal with it, the external officials will laugh at our Imperial Family for not knowing the rules.”
Zhu Youtang nodded." Yes, I know. I'll think about how to deal with it."”
At this moment, a eunuch walked in front of Zhu Youtang and whispered into his ear.
Zhu Youtang was stunned for a moment before saying to Empress Zhang,""Alright, that's all for now.”
"The Zhou brothers have also been beaten up badly.”
As he spoke, he looked at the Zhang brothers with a meaningful look.
"Your Majesty!" The Zhang brothers hurriedly said. I didn't, it wasn't me, I swear!”
Zhu Youtang ignored them and said," They were also beaten up badly. No matter who it was, you didn't get a good deal. Don't fight for that piece of land. Return it to its original owner."”
"Let's go back."
" Ah, this..." Zhang brothers were not happy, but they didn't dare to say anything. They could only look at Empress Zhang for help.
"Didn't you hear the Emperor?" Empress Zhang asked. Go back!"
"Oh."
The two brothers rubbed their heads and left the palace unwillingly.
Empress Zhang hurriedly asked Emperor Hongzhi,""Emperor, what's going on? How did the Zhou brothers get beaten up?”
"Zhao 'er called."
"Ah?" Empress Zhang was puzzled.
Zhu Youtang said,"This son of mine has really grown up and knows how to share his father's worries. It's a good thing."”
Empress Zhang thought for a while before she understood.
The one caught in the middle of this matter was Tian Zi. Tian Zi was the one in the most difficult position. Now that Zhu Houzhao had also beaten up the other party, Zhu Youtang could be fair and not deal with anyone.
Otherwise, whoever he dealt with would only aggravate the conflict between the Zhou and Zhang families.
"How did Zhao 'er change?" Empress Zhang couldn't help but be surprised.”
"Yang Tinghe taught me well," Zhu Youtang said with a smile."I didn't invite the wrong person."”
"He's really an important minister who assists the country!"
