When Qiu Yun heard what the Crown Prince said, his heart suddenly became confused again.

She didn't know Yang Ting, and she didn't know what kind of person he was.

But she was familiar with the Crown Prince in front of her.

What the ears hear is kindness, what the eyes see is gentleness,

Rather than going to an unfamiliar person's home, it's better to feel more at ease here.

Especially when faced with the threat of death, the need for safety and stability obviously exceeds the material needs of what to eat and what to use.

Moreover, she had received such a great favor and she must repay it no matter what.

So before the prince actually went to implement it, he hurriedly asked for orders:

"Your Highness, I am from a humble background and do not dare to climb high. Moreover, just as Eunuch Liu said just now, Your Highness has been a life-saving grace for me and Dong Yu. Although Qiu Yun does not know the way of a saint, he also knows the principle of repaying each other with springs. Therefore,

Your Highness, please think again."

Zhu Houzhao somewhat believed this.

Because she has no reason or motive to lie.

"Oh, forget it if you don't want to."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Then... let's make a cup of tea."

Qiuyun knew from this that His Highness had accepted him, and he felt reassured.

"yes."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and stopped thinking about things he couldn't do.

In the afternoon, a light rain suddenly started falling in the sky, so he went back to the temple. Without letting anyone close the door, he just watched the raindrops forming a line in the sky under the eaves, and listened to the branches and leaves in the flower bed being beaten.

A rattling noise.

Before officially studying, life in the East Palace was a bit boring.

However, Zhu Houzhao is not a person who likes liveliness. He used to like rainy days like this, reading and falling asleep to the sound of rain.

Or cook a meal by yourself, or watch a movie with snacks.

Such quiet time always makes him feel comfortable,

It wasn't until he grew up that he began to take on more responsibilities and handle more things. The noisy city was very inconsistent with his preferences.

In order to survive, he almost tore himself apart.

Now under the sky five hundred years ago,

He was a child again,

Although the responsibilities of being a prince are heavy, humans are not machines after all, and they must have their own space.

Pack it up, tidy it up, and start again better.

Zhu Houzhao had a rocking chair moved to the entrance of the palace, and he lay down on it. Because it was windy, he covered it with a blanket, so that he could see the rain outside.

"Liu Jin, I remember you can read, right?"

"Go back to your highness and recognize some of them."

"Okay. The Four Books and Five Classics won't embarrass you. Find a simple history book and read it to me."

Liu Jin thought to himself that His Highness's request was really novel.

"I wonder, which history book does Your Highness want to hear?"

"I...want to hear the story of Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong."

The vitality of the dynasty also gradually began to decline. A minister who had the support of the emperor and was dedicated to reform ended in failure. He had to understand it carefully.

"Then, read "History of the Song Dynasty"?"

"Can."

So the drizzle was light, one person was reading, and the other was listening. Some of the classical Chinese texts that I didn't understand had to be asked carefully.

As time goes by, the vague history gradually becomes clear in my mind, and the impressions are connected bit by bit.

There will also be fragrant warm tea brewed in the autumn clouds beside it.

This is what life should be like, right?

Even if Qiuyun and Dongyu are watching from the side, they will feel a kind of happiness.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so studious and sensible, and he treats their servants well.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao thought that if he came up and listened to Wang Anshi, he would definitely be discovered by interested people, because it would be too obvious. It would be quite troublesome to come up and give advice.

So he told Liu Jin, "Go and tell Yang Tinghe not to remember this paragraph...forget it, you'd better ask him to come over. I'll tell him in person."

After a while, a somewhat shabby Yang Zhongyun summoned up all his energy to salute His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Mr. Yang, I didn't remember everything in the East Palace, right? Don't remember it so clearly this afternoon, just say that I was studying."

Yang Tinghe was stunned, what is this request?

But in fact... Zhongyun Guan didn't dare to disobey the prince's wishes.

"yes……"

"Your Highness," a chamberlain came over from outside the palace, "Wang Zhan wishes to see you."

"Okay. Invite him in."

Wang Hao often visits the East Palace now, but as soon as he came in today, he saw the back of Yang Tinghe leaving the Xiefang Palace.

As soon as he arrived, the man left.

This made Wang Hao frown slightly.

Some doubts in my heart are getting deeper.

Zhu Houzhao stood up from the rocking chair and asked Liu Jin to quickly put away the book he had just read.

"Your Majesty, Wang Hao is here to see His Highness."

"Mr. Wang came just in time. There are a few things I don't understand today that I would like to ask Mr. Wang for advice."

Wang Hao was startled for a moment. After that day, he himself was troubled for a long time. He didn't expect that the prince would be the same as before.

"Your Highness."

Zhu Houzhao turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

"I came today because I have something to report to His Highness."

From his tone, you knew something was wrong.

Originally, I thought I could have a normal day in the East Palace.

"Mr. Wang, please speak."

"Your Highness, do you know who Li Guang is?"

Liu Jin beside him couldn't help but frown when he heard Wang Hao mention this name.

"Li Guang?"

Zhu Houzhao wanted to know if it was Li Guang, the flying general, but he knew that Wang Hao would not mention a figure from the Han Dynasty at this time.

"Yes, I refer to Li Guang, the eunuch and eunuch."

In the Ming Dynasty, not all eunuchs were called eunuchs, only the head of a yamen was called an eunuch. Like Li Guang, he was the chief of the internal affairs department.

The Internal Affairs Bureau was mainly responsible for construction matters and had nothing to do with the decision-making center of the imperial court. It was somewhat similar to the Ministry of Works in the outer court.

In addition, since internal officials, especially the eunuchs who are in charge of rituals, cannot be sent out (out of the palace), if eunuchs want to go out for official business, they "must borrow the title of internal official."

When the emperor sends people out of the palace, he naturally first chooses those he trusts. Therefore, the status of the internal official supervisor was once second only to that of the ceremonial supervisor and the royal horse supervisor.

Li Guang is the chief of the inner palace, and all eunuchs who leave the palace have to go through him. Because of this, Li Guang has a good relationship with many powerful eunuchs. He can be said to have a high position in the palace.

Zhu Houzhao didn't understand this, but he saw the change in Liu Jin's expression. This old fox would not normally act like this, so he knew that the matter was sensitive.

As expected, Wang Hao said: "Since the fourth year of Hongzhi, the eunuch Li Guang has suggested that His Majesty's construction is too complex. There are Shou'an and Qin'an palaces inside, and there are Shenzhen and Optimism outside, Taicang, and city towers. Recently, a martial temple has been built, and

To induce Your Majesty to let the Beijing army build the palace, it will become a common practice for the Beijing army to occupy the army, and it will be difficult for the garrison to train. I, please Your Highness, Chen Shengshang, will tell you the facts so that Your Majesty will not be deceived by the villain!"

In order to take care of the prince, he did not study, so he tried to use vernacular in his words.

Zhu Houzhao knew that this matter was not that simple.

Many people must have mentioned these things to the emperor, but how long has it been since the fourth year of Hongzhi? This man is still a good person.

"Mr. Wang, I know about this."

"Your Highness..."

Liu Jin was very smart. When he saw Wang Hao starting to get into trouble, he took a step forward and said, "Mr. Wang, let's answer your highness's question first. Your highness has been waiting for you today."
