Seeing that Mr. Zhu liked Xiaobao so much, Su Caier simply hugged Xiaobao and sent them out with Zhao Ce.

Zhu Houzhao took a step behind and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Mrs. Yongxibo, I didn't mean to conceal my identity before."

"You and Uncle Yongxi are not angry, right?"

Zhao Ce smiled and looked at Su Cai'er beside him.

Su Cai'er seemed to have adapted and said in a natural tone: "Mr. Zhu, your family has a special status. It is really inconvenient to be outside."

"It's easy to hide your identity, and all your wives know that."

Listening to Su Cai'er's words, I remembered that Zhao Ce had been calling himself "Chen" today.

Zhu Houzhao was a little discouraged.

He just said it.

After the showdown, the attitudes of these two people will change.

Now that there is a distinction between monarch and minister, it is no longer as fun as before.

However, there is no way around this.

Zhao Ce won't be able to hide it after his exam next year.

Fortunately, Yong Xibo's family was not like other families. Once they knew their identity, they were so frightened that they did not dare to say anything and kept silent even if they answered a word.

It's just that the atmosphere here is indeed not as harmonious as before.

Zhu Houzhao thought about this a little unhappy and arrived at the door.

Then they saw Su Cai'er instructing people to deliver food boxes to them as usual.

"These are all new products we have been researching during this period, and the Sugar Picking Notes have not been released yet."

"You guys can take it home and try it?"

Although Su Cai'er roughly knew their identities, she didn't know how others got along with them.

Therefore, we can only follow the previous way of getting along.

After all, when she saw her husband, he didn't seem to be much different from before.

Since you don’t know, then you must be right to act according to your husband’s way!

Looking at these food boxes, Zhu Houzhao seemed to feel the enthusiasm of the young couple as always.

He quickly said: "Well, let me try it first."

"If there is any room for improvement, I will have someone come and talk to you."

The two father and son got on the carriage, and Zhu Houzhao finally felt a little happier.

He just thought about what his father and Uncle Yong Xi were plotting in the hall, and he was full of curiosity.

"Father, what Uncle Yong Xi said earlier could make the Kong family fully support us, how should we do it?"

Emperor Hongzhi still had a smile on his face, and the old god looked at his son.

"I will summon Confucius to the palace tomorrow. After asking him, I will know what to do."

Zhu Houzhao raised his hand diligently: "My son, I must also handle this matter with my father!"

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head.

"Go to morning classes honestly and don't think too much."

Zhu Houzhao said in a flattering manner: "After my son has finished his morning classes, will my father summon Confucius again?"

Emperor Hongzhi refused: "No."

Emperor Hongzhi naturally knew the reason why Zhao Ce asked the prince to go out first without telling him.

He is too immature.

A famous sword is only a famous sword in the hands of a good swordsman.

If it is obtained by an impulsive, irritable and immature person, it will be nothing more than a murder weapon.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel discouraged when he saw that no matter how he tried to please him, it was useless.

He muttered dissatisfiedly: "My father often asks his sons and ministers to care about current affairs and help handle national affairs."

"But you hid it and didn't tell me anything."

Emperor Hongzhi reached out and tapped his head in a funny way.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so concerned about national affairs, I will discuss it with you."

Emperor Hongzhi told Zhu Houzhao roughly the reform methods he had just discussed with Zhao Ce in the room.

Zhu Houzhao listened with great interest.

After listening, he still had some unfinished thoughts: "I have never heard of these measures when I listen to the masters' lectures on weekdays."

"If it can really be implemented in the Ming Dynasty, it seems that it can really give the country a completely new look."

"Uncle Yongxi is so awesome, he seems to know everything."

"And he never seems to care about his own gains and losses."

"Raise the commercial tax. The business of the shop under his name is so good, and the commercial tax paid is much higher."

"Measures such as clearing the land, dividing the land into acres, and paying grain to both officials and gentry."

"Nothing will touch his personal interests."

"But he didn't hide his selfish motives and told you everything, Father."

"Is this what the saint said, benefiting the world at the same time?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao's expression of admiration and said with a smile: "I never expected that my son would sigh like this."

But Emperor Hongzhi actually had similar thoughts to Zhu Houzhao.

A gentleman upholds his integrity and follows the path.

Today, in Zhao Ce, he really saw the word "walking on the road".

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao sighed.

"If this matter spreads, I'm afraid many people will scold Yong Xibo."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Those who practice the Tao should have guardians."

"As an emperor, you must know how to be patient and have a broad mind."

"Now that you have identified yourself as a person who practices the Tao, you must be prepared to bear everything."

Zhu Houzhao said thoughtfully: "Yes, I am also willing to be a protector of the Tao."

He clenched his fists, his eyes burning with blazing fire.

"Father, even if I ascend the throne in the future, I will protect Uncle Yongxi's family."

Zhu Houzhao also figured it out at this time.

As an emperor, you don't have to be smarter than others.

After all, there are so many smart people in the world working for you.

As long as the emperor knows how to use these people, why bother?

Therefore, he must protect Zhao Ce, who is currently the smartest person in his mind!

Emperor Hongzhi said: "..."

Your father hasn't died yet, and you are already thinking about what will happen after you ascend the throne.

If I hadn't been in a good mood today, I would have kicked my son, who was missing a muscle, out of the car.

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Since my son has made up his mind, when he goes back, he will copy the "Book of Filial Piety" ten times, and after the lecture tomorrow, he will personally show it to me for inspection."

The flame in Zhu Houzhao's eyes had not yet subsided. When he heard his father's words, he said "Ah?" in a daze.

"What?"

“Copy the Book of Filial Piety ten times?”

"This is not discussing national policy, so why does it involve copying books?"

Emperor Hongzhi had amusement in his eyes.

“Where does establishing oneself and practicing the Way come from?”

Zhu Houzhao reacted and wailed: "It comes from the "Book of Filial Piety"."

"It's not like I don't know, so how can this be the reason for you, Father, to punish me?"

Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "Because I am your father and the king of a country."

"Whatever I say, you have to do it."

"This is the courage of a king of a country!"

Although I have disciplined my son before, I never punished him without any reason like this.

Today, he showed the face of a tyrant and was punished without any argument.

Zhu Houzhao dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. In the end, he only said: "You are arbitrary, father, you have changed."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.
Chapter completed!
