All-Heavens Star Chart

In fact, during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, the national fortune had actually begun to decline, and various malpractices gradually appeared on the table.

Especially the most important thing is that since the Mingyingzong Civil Fortress change, the entire Xungui group has instantly entered a trough, making the military forces of the Ming Dynasty gradually suppressed by the civil official group.

To this day, a general with four Grade 5 ranks in the Imperial Court not even as high as a magistrate from Grade 7.

If you speak of which in detail, there are simply too many shortcomings in the Ming Dynasty.

It is a pity that Zhou Chen has very little friendship with the young official in front of him. Naturally, Zhou Chen has no intention of discussing this with him.

even more how there is a saying that you must lose if you talk more. The young official's identity in front of you is not simple. If Zhou Chen talks too much and commits a taboo, it will be too much for the loss in the end. .

And the young official looked at the victims who seemed to be gathered together like dark clouds, his heart was also very uncomfortable, and he simply didn't have the intention to talk about it with Zhou Chen.

So even if Zhou Chen didn't answer anything, the young official didn't care much.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Chen, he gave a salute to Zhou Chen and left in a hurry.

Looking at the young official gradually disappeared under the protection and crowd of Bright Gown Guard, Zhou Chen and Ba Dao also left here.

Walking through the city gate into the capital, Zhou Chen and Ba Dao randomly found a good-sized Inn to live in.

After the two randomly ordered some food to eat, they each returned to the house and went to rest.

After so many days in a row, even though Zhou Chen and Ba Dao are both martial arts cultivation base martial artists, they both feel tired and tired.

Zhou Chen is resting here, but the young official who was separated from him is getting busier.

Under the protection of the four Bright Gown Guards, he passed through the outer city non-stop all the way, and went straight into the Imperial Palace.

Perhaps because too many victims flooded into the capital, the imperial army in the Imperial Palace was much larger than before.

Along the way, from time to time, teams of the Forbidden Army patrolled past.

Even in the dark ground, there are countless Bright Gown Guard hidden in it, acting as a secret guard around the entire Imperial Palace.

"Have seen His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Along the way, all the bans who saw the young official kneel down to salute.

Zhou Chen’s previous guess was correct. This young official dressed in a yellow robe is the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. The Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzha’s alone, Zhu Huzhao.

Under the escort and crowd of the Bright Gown Guard, Zhu Houzhao came to a great hall inside the Imperial Palace.

After he waited for a while, Court Eunuch walked out in the hall and greeted him into the great hall.

The decoration in the great hall is not as luxurious as ordinary people imagine for the Imperial Palace. Apart from a thick table, a few wooden chairs, and a few vases, there is simply nothing else. NS.

Behind that table sits a middle-aged man, who is dressed in a yellow dragon robe, who is today's son Zhu Youzhan.

"Imperial Father, the son is back!"

Zhu Houzhao walked to the center of the great hall and cupped the hands saluted.

Emperor Hongzhi, who was reading the memorial, could not help but lift his head from behind the table after hearing the familiar voice of his only son.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao who has endured the hardships of a long journey below, a distressed look flashed in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi. He looked at Zhu Huzhao dozingly and said, "Is the Crown Prince back?" This time you went out to observe the people’s sentiments, how did the journey go smoothly?"

Zhu Huzhao shook the head and said: "It’s not very smooth. The son met a group of hungry red-eyed wolves in the mountains and forests. Fortunately, The guards desperately rescued each other so that they can escape safely.

Unfortunately, there are only four guards left after more than 20 guards who left Beijing with the son."

On the way back, Zhu Houzhao had already instructed the four Bright Gown Guards accompanying him to not allow them to disclose the incident on their way, lest Emperor Hongzhi was worried and anxious.

Zhu Huzhao knew that his Imperial Father's body was not too good. If he knew that someone was chasing him down, he might be hurt by anger.

As for those Bright Gown Guards who died for protecting him, Zhu Houzhao has naturally prepared some remarks, and also added a full ten times the pension.

I heard Zhu Huzhao's words in his ears, and Emperor Hongzhi's face full of pampering looks slightly changed. He raised his eyes in surprise and looked up at his son.

As the only son of Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi knew very well about his temperament and habits, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is completely understood.

Since childhood, whenever Zhu Houzhao lied, his index finger of his right hand would tap slightly unconsciously.

At this moment, the frequency of Zhu Huzhao's right hand index finger tapping is very intensive, which is exactly the performance of Zhu Huzhao's nervousness because of lying.

even more how Emperor Hongzhi was the Imperial Emperor for more than ten years. He had dealt with the old foxes in the Imperial court every day, and his sharp mind was so powerful.

Just now, Zhu Houzhao's while speaking has a flash of unnaturalness on his face. Simply did not escape the perception of Emperor Hongzhi.

"I didn’t think that Crown Prince went out this time. After he came back, he still learned to deceive his father."

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Zhu Houzhao. He faintly smiled. jokingly said.

"Imperial Father, all the children said is true."

Although he knew his lie had been found out, Zhu Huzhao still brace oneself and gritted his teeth. .

If the incident he was attacked will not be known by Emperor Hongzhi, it is better not to be known by Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi was embarrassed after all. If he knew that someone dared to attack and kill his only son, then he would be furious even if he was kind and kind.

In order to prevent Hongzhi Emperor Qi from hurting his body, Zhu Houzhao must conceal this matter anyway.

"Well, when my son is getting older, it is normal to have a secret with his dad, dad doesn't ask you!"

Seeing that my son is still clenching his teeth there, Hongji A smile appeared in the emperor's eyes, and he did not continue to entangle this matter.

"Imperial Father, when my son came back to Beijing this time, he saw countless victims gathered outside the city. This is simply not in line with what the ministers of the Imperial court said about the country and the people's peace!"

After seeing the Imperial Father no longer questioning himself, Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to say his purpose of rushing back to the Imperial Palace to meet Sheng Yan.

Hearing this in his ears, the look on Emperor Hongzhi's face couldn't help but startled, and he slowly put down the memorial in his hand.
