Zhao Ce slept at home for a few days before finally going out to Hanlin Academy to pay off his leave.

Throughout the journey, I heard the discussion on this victory.

The memorial of the Duke of Baoguo Zhu Hui had long been delivered to Emperor Hongzhi's desk.

Long memorial.

In addition to explaining the details of the war that day, it also mentioned many disadvantages that needed reform.

This includes the practice of giving his military pay to the enemy in Xuanfu, as well as the various implications involved.

Originally, Zhu Hui didn't care about these things.

As a prince, he only needs to lead his troops out and make some military achievements and wait for rewards.

But Zhu Houzhao went to the frontier in person and found so many disadvantages.

As the general sent by the emperor, he naturally could not stay out of the matter.

So he asked the people below to collect a lot, put forward some suggestions for rectification, and submitted them together.

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked after reading his memorial.

Unexpectedly, after this victory, even the Duke Baoguo, who had always been in the military qualifications, took on real responsibilities.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw the things written above, he was also furious.

Immediately ordered the imperial envoy to be sent to the frontier, and took advantage of this rare peace time to completely rectify the shortcomings of the frontier.

When Zhao Ce went to the Hanlin Academy to dispose of the leave, the official responsible for disclaiming the leave was also discussing the matter with his colleagues.

When the official saw Zhao Ce coming, he also lit up his eyes.

"Hao Master is back?"

Zhao Ce nodded and smiled, "I've been on leave for a while before, but now I'm back to take the leave."

Several officials in the room stood up and walked to Zhao Ce.

"I heard that the Marquis led his men into the enemy army this time, and even killed seven in and seven out, so that he completely defeated the enemy and ensured the safety of the prince?"

"Yes, even though we are in the capital, we are excited."

"By the way, is the Marquis injured? If you are injured, it's better to rest at home for a few more days."

Everyone talked all the time, and Zhao Ce didn't need to answer, and started talking on their own.

As civil servants, they look down on military generals.

But Zhao Ce is also a civil servant!

Can civil officials make military achievements and military achievements in their hearts be the same as military generals?

Your own person!

It's not an exaggeration to praise it!

Even praise them, they are all honored.

It seemed as if they had helped the credit for killing the enemy.

After Zhao Ce finished speaking, he replied with a smile: "Although the injuries on his body have not been completely healed yet, they are almost done."

"Thank you for your concern."

When the holiday was cancelled, the others continued to surround Zhao Ce and asked about his situation on the battlefield.

When Zhao Ce finished the procedures and went out, the people were still discussing this matter with great enthusiasm.

In the words, a group of weak scholars were full of yearning for the battlefield.

Zhao Ce shook his head and smiled, and took a step toward his place where he was staying in Hanlin Academy.

However, after only a few steps, the steps under his feet suddenly stopped.

A familiar name suddenly appeared in the people in the house who were just discussing the war on the battlefield.

"The Marquis of Dingxi made great contributions this time, just wait for the reward."

"But His Highness the Crown Prince is not so lucky. I heard that he was tied to Fengtian Palace by His Majesty himself not long ago and was beaten hard!"

"Hiss~"

"Your Majesty himself?"

"Yes, Your Majesty himself took action and beat His Highness the Crown Prince to a bloody and bloody one. I heard that I can't get out of bed these days."

"That day I happened to send a memorial to Your Majesty, and I heard about this in the side hall."

"Your Majesty is so cruel..."

The people in the room blew up again.

It seemed that they were very surprised that His Majesty, who usually looked magnanimous and elegant, would use this method to treat the prince.

"This is strange..."

Another voice sounded: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has made great contributions this time, why did Your Majesty punish him like this..."

"Even if it is the crown prince of a country, my dynasty will not talk about the crown prince, but even the predecessor of the late emperor will have precedents of going to war in person."

“…”

Among these people, they didn't know that Zhu Houzhao had sneaked out this time.

Therefore, I was surprised that the prince who had returned from making great contributions and was severely punished.

When Zhao Ce heard these words outside the house, he didn't feel anything at first.

After all, Emperor Hongzhi was in poor health and had never done any physical work.

Even if you do it yourself, you shouldn't be able to beat it too much.

But thinking about the nature of Zhu Houzhao's trip this time, Emperor Hongzhi was probably very angry.

Zhao Ce turned his footsteps and walked towards the East Palace, deciding to see how hurt Zhu Houzhao was.

......

Arrive outside the East Palace.

Although the palace servant who received Zhao Ce tried hard to squeeze out a smile, it was obvious that his face was not very good.

"Mr. Please sit down for a while, and I will send you a message."

After saying that, the palace maid who was receiving limped out.

The person who called to pass the message was also a bit strange to walk.

And after going out, I thought I couldn't see it, and seemed to have touched my butt secretly.

Zhao Ce looked at the people entering and leaving the East Palace, and obviously his walking posture was a bit strange, and he couldn't help but feel silent.

This walking posture...

When he went to the imperial prison to pick up Liu Ruyu, Liu Ruyu suffered a little punishment in prison, and he walked like this.

However, these people walked significantly worse than Liu Ruyu at that time.

It seems that not only the prince was punished, but even the people in the Eastern Palace were not spared.

After waiting for a while, the person who sent the message came back.

He said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was inconvenient and wanted to directly lead Zhao Ce to the bedroom to meet him.

Zhao Ce followed the palace servant to the prince's bedroom. As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Zhu Houzhao was at this time, with the help of her close servants, and got up from the bed with difficulty.

His upper body, which was originally exposed, was wearing a piece of clothing randomly.

Liu Jin rarely did not serve him.

When he saw Zhao Ce coming in, he grinned and asked, "You, why are you here today?"

Zhao Ce saw that his eyes were dark and he looked listless, and he seemed to have not had a good sleep recently.

"I heard that Your Highness is injured, so I came to visit Your Highness specifically."

"Is your highness seriously injured?"

Zhu Houzhao supported her hands with difficulty and knelt on the bed.

The palace servant next to him took the cushion and was holding Zhu Houzhao over.

Zhu Houzhao moved slowly, not forgetting to show off her strength.

"No, nothing is wrong..."

"But my father punished me a little bit, it's nothing..."

"hiss!"

When his butt touched the thick cushion, he took a breath and stood up.

"Pain, pain..."

Zhu Houzhao's tears were about to burst out.

He said angrily: "I won't sit anymore!"
