In Queen Zhang's opinion, my son went out for a walk. Although he was a little nonsense, he had gained more knowledge and became more obedient and sensible after he came back. This was a great thing. He said immediately: "Since you have great ambitions, you must study hard!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "No need to remind my mother. I know in my heart. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Liang and others. After I returned to the capital, I passed every assessment successfully. Mr. Liang and Mr. Wang all praised me for my good studies. That is... I lacked people around me who can help me improve my studies. Zhang Yuan and other close servants always coaxed me to play..."

A naughty child caused trouble to Zhang Yuan with just one word.

Queen Zhang has no great knowledge and only two people care about the most, one is her husband and the other is her son. As for her daughter and brother, they have to put it aside.

Now that Zhu Houzhao complained in front of her, she definitely sued the right place. What Queen Zhang hates the most is someone who guides her son to do his job.

Queen Zhang's face turned cold and asked seriously: "Prince, what you said is true?"

Zhu Houzhao almost replied in a swearing tone: "It's true that Zhang Yuan has had a close relationship with two uncles. Before, my second uncle entered the palace and saw him hooking up with Zhang Yuan and whispering, as if he was talking about something. After that, Zhang Yuan brought me a lot of delicious and fun things, making me unenvious in studying."

"I was thinking about what my second uncle wanted to do? He would use those "strange skills and lewd skills" to drag my studies. Do you want me to be a fool in the future?"

Zhu Houzhao was too young and didn't think too much about speaking.

He mentioned the relationship between Zhang Yuan and the Zhang brothers, and originally wanted to emphasize the fact that Zhang Yuan coaxed him to play. In his opinion, Zhang Yanling was also unreliable. It would be better to sue this uncle together to avenge him for revenge for his refusal to take him out of the palace.

The naughty child felt that I would definitely consider it from my own standpoint, but unfortunately, Empress Zhang always cared about the Zhang family. Even though Empress Zhang wanted to punish Zhang Yuan heavily before, after hearing this, she had to consider the relationship between Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yanling and prepare to take things lightly.

Queen Zhang said: "Son, some things are not as complicated as you think. Your uncle probably wants you to be happy more and will never let you go to school!"

Zhu Houzhao understood in one sentence. It is best not to say anything when it comes to the old lady’s family, because I will never listen to it and believe it completely and turn it to myself.

Zhu Houzhao was a little annoyed: "Then mother, please replace Zhang Yuan first! Erchen thinks he hates him... I remember when I was a child, there were a few caring eunuchs around me who could talk. But now, there are not even a eunuch who can really help me. They all seek their own selfish interests and do not take Erchen seriously at all!"

Queen Zhang frowned: "Emperor, who do you think is more considerate to the eunuchs in the palace?"

Zhu Houzhao wanted to say Liu Jin's name directly, but suddenly realized that saying this was equivalent to causing trouble for Liu Jin: "No, you must make indirect attacks and remind your mother of Liu Jin... I can't just talk nonsense, so as not to let Liu Jin be suspected by his father and mother, and die tragically in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I, Zhu Houzhao, will be the emperor in the future, and how can I harm the helper of me?"

In Zhu Houzhao's logic, being loyal is the most important thing. He can not tell the story of Shen Xi helping him to go north because of his loyalty, and he also does not want to expose Liu Jin because of his loyalty.

Zhu Houzhao said: "My mother, I really don't know who is more suitable. I just remember that when I was young, although the eunuchs around me also coaxed me to play with me, they were pure and kind-hearted and would not collude with foreign ministers to make a frivolous study. As for who can help me, the mother has to make a decision later. The father also said before that the candidates for the attendant around me are not something that I can decide on by myself!"

It is said that Zhu Houzhao cannot decide by himself, but in fact, Zhu Youzhang and his wife still care about their son's likes and dislikes on this issue.

Liu Jin was punished before, and it was just because Liu Jin's greed and meddling angered the naughty child that Liu Jin was exiled. However, Liu Jin used his own efforts to regain Zhu Houzhao's appreciation, but unfortunately he has been arranged to be a garrison eunuch in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Queen Zhang thought for a while and said, "Your son, after you said this, I remembered that when you were a child, there were indeed a few good eunuchs around you, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and Liu Jin were diligent in doing things and took care of you meticulously. Unfortunately, they are now entrusted by your father with important tasks and have other arrangements. I am afraid... they can't be recalled to the Eastern Palace again!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he quickly said, "Mother, in the eyes of the father, only national affairs are important, so the son's minister's studies will not be painful or itchy?"

"Um!?"

Queen Zhang doesn’t know how to answer this time.

Zhu Houzhao knelt down and kowtowed: "Please ask the mother to advise the father to let these old attendants come back. My son wants to use them so that they can retire in the palace in the future..."

Zhu Houzhao was very kind and righteous. In Queen Zhang's opinion, this was a good thing. Like Zhu Youzhang, she hoped that her son could become a loyal and filial person, remember the contributions of the people around her, and could pass on the benevolence and filial piety of the royal family from generation to generation, rather than letting Zhu Houzhao become a foolish monarch and lead the Ming Dynasty to the wrong path.

Queen Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "Son of the Emperor, what you said, the Queen Mother will tell your father that he will help you recall the old attendants... But then again, only the old people will consider you. It is useless to count on the new people... In the future, you must not only trust the elderly around you, but also your two uncles. They are close relatives of mother and will definitely assist you with all their strength!"

Zhu Houzhao then realized my mother's mentality and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Damn, no wonder my mother doesn't like to listen to what I said. It turns out that my mother always wants me to favor my two uncles. Humph, why don't you say that my uncle and others are taking tricks and occupying fertile land in the shops? Many people complain about them?"

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have involved my two uncles. Anyway, my mother wouldn't have helped me with issues involving the Zhang family. But now I know that I will learn from my mistakes and will not make similar mistakes again in the future!"

Zhu Houzhao looked pious: "What the mother said, my son remembered that my son would keep sincere to the elderly around me, so that they could work for the court with peace of mind. When they grow old, my son would send them off for them, and they would also start and end up well with their uncles, because they are people worthy of trust..."

This sentence went straight into Queen Zhang's heart. She smiled and nodded, stroked her son's little head, and said, "That's good, that's good. The mother turned around and told your father that he would find a way to transfer the elderly people in the East Palace back. But in the past few days, you still have to study hard. Mr. Liang praised in front of your father, saying that you seemed to have become enlightened after a serious illness, and your father made great progress in his studies. "

"Oh by the way, I have time to see your sister. Now we are no longer a family of three, but a family of four. You, a brother, cannot treat your sister badly!"

"I know!"

Zhu Houzhao acted innocent and childish, but his mind was becoming more and more mature. At this time, he was thinking about how to please the mother in front of him and prepare for the next step to take Liu Jin back to the East Palace.

He thought to himself: "Mr. Chen cannot return to the court for the time being. Even if he returns to the court, he may have to stay in the yamen outside to do things and will not come to the East Palace to be a lecturer. I cannot see him, let alone play with him."

"Besides, Mr. Shen doesn't like to follow my wishes in many things now. I feel a lot of pressure when I see him. It's better than Liu Jin and the others. I can make me happy, and I can deliver all the delicious and fun things to my house, and I can also help me leave the palace."

"Hehe, as long as Liu Jin comes back, I can walk out of the palace again. In the future, I can ask Liu Jin to find me some better and more delicious things! I will kill multiple birds with one stone!"
