Zhu Houzhao entered the palace. Before he could reach the warm pavilion, more than a dozen eunuchs came over, led by Liu Jin, and bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty."

They all had serious expressions and crawled on the ground.

Zhu Houzhao was fine, just said, "Oh, I'm hungry."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites You to Renshou Palace."

Liu Jin and others had serious expressions. These people who usually smiled at Zhu Houzhao now look solemn.

Not long after, a team of Jinwu Guards and the guards of the Palace Forefront came. Zhu Houzhao took a step forward and they took a step forward. Zhu Houzhao stopped and they also stopped.

Zhu Houzhao seemed a little annoyed: "I don't want anyone to serve you."

Liu Jin smiled apologized and said, "Your Majesty, this is what the Empress Dowager means."

Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to sigh: "What else is bad news?"

Liu Jin said: "Now all the officials outside are going crazy, and so is the Empress. Therefore, people have to watch wherever His Majesty goes, and there must be someone to serve him when he is sleeping. The gates in the palace have also strengthened their defense."

After pausing, Liu Jin said again: "The few guarding the gate... have been killed."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but shivered.

Beheaded? He often went out there. In fact, he had already asked Liu Jin and others to handle it. They dared not disobey Zhu Houzhao, so the access control was not strict. Now he was killed directly. Who would dare to let the guards of this guy out of the future? This is to remove the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron. From now on, Zhu Houzhao would have to go out again, even if he just wandered in this capital, it would be difficult.

"Your Majesty, the Empress and all the officials are so angry." Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao with a grievance. In fact, his biggest resentment was that Your Majesty actually ran away with Ye Chunqiu. The Chun Nuan Duck Prophet, this is definitely not a good sign. In the past, how could Your Majesty leave him? Whatever Your Majesty did, he was so sad about it? But now, Your Majesty has not only run away, but he still looks very happy. Doesn't this mean that Your Majesty has the same thing as you?

Zhu Houzhao just said oh, and knew that this time he had poked a hornet's nest. When he arrived at Shouning Palace, he saw Empress Dowager Zhang lying on the sickbed.

After Zhu Houzhao bowed, Empress Dowager Zhang curled up her back to him, just pretending to be sleeping. Zhu Houzhao was a little panicked: "My mother..."

"Emperor, you go and rest, don't worry about Ai's family." Empress Dowager Zhang's voice seemed a little cold.

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, Mother, you are so funny. You asked me to come, and you asked me to leave when you came.

Zhu Houzhao stood in this bedroom very reluctantly. The eunuch brought him a small number, and then he sat here in a daze.

After a while, seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang was still lying without any movement, Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned, and then called a little eunuch again, whispered a few instructions. The little eunuch then took a roast chicken from the kitchen of Shouning Palace, and then feasted in front of Empress Dowager Zhang's couch.

"Slow down." Empress Dowager Zhang finally couldn't help it, and turned around and frowned at him: "You are not afraid of choking, you kid, hey..."

Zhu Houzhao took the eunuch's tea, drank it all in one gulp, and wiped her greasy mouth with her sleeves and her sleeves invisibly, and then said, "I have eaten porridge for many days. Ye Aiqing eats porridge every day, but I can't take my face off, so I have to eat porridge too."

Empress Dowager Zhang's anger towards her son could not last long, but she was very concerned about his situation: "Ye Chunqiu is also bold, so he will give this to the emperor."

Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "My mother misunderstood. Ye Aiqing said she wanted to treat the injured. Patients with smallpox need to supplement more meat, and the chance of survival is higher. Therefore, the people in the city, from me to him, and then to the officials below, all eat porridge. The rice and meat are left for the injured. It is difficult for the community to have a hard time. Seeing that they all drink porridge, it is not good to stop eating porridge."

When Empress Dowager Zhang heard this, the anger on her face dissipated. Ye Chunqiu had a bit of the style of the late emperor. When the late emperor encountered famine, he also started with himself.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao said again: "I have saved the disaster. Ye Aiqing, what I may not have thought of, but I want to get it. Mother, do you know what tiles to use to fill the porridge?"

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Houzhao with surprise: "What?"

Empress Dowager Zhang is the daughter of a student of the Imperial College, not a wealthy family. This is also an old tradition of the Ming Dynasty. Generally speaking, when the prince chooses concubines, most of them choose from ordinary families, but highly respected families. Empress Dowager Zhang has seen sufferings in the world since she was a child. If not, how could she have a strong relationship with Emperor Hongzhi, who was thrifty.

Zhu Houzhao spit out a chicken bone and continued, "I have been wandering for a few days since I went to Datong. I know what life the victims have lived. Ye Chunqiu is an imperial envoy. Although he is good at disaster relief, I still need to mention him in many places. Mother, you don't know how many people I and Ye Aiqing have saved, and I have also visited the injured in person..."

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and said, "Your Majesty isn't you afraid of getting infected with smallpox?"

Zhu Houzhao said, "I have planted acne, I have planted it twice. Ye Aiqing lets people get acne, which can prevent and treat smallpox. I will be fine. I personally moved to the urn where the injured were gathered. I went to visit the injured with Aiqing. I also changed the medicine for one of the injured. Actually..." Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and then said, "They are also pitiful. I used to think that natural disasters were natural disasters. The memorials were just cold words. Now I have detailed

When I think about it, I am really scared. A few days ago, the Sichuan Provincial Administration Secretary said there was a drought, and the words were written on it was 'people eat each other'. I was laughing at the beginning. How could people eat each other? Could it be that you bite me and I bite you?" After sucking his nose, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a little disgusting with the roast chicken in his hand, feeling nauseated, and shivered, and couldn't help saying: "Thinking about it now, it's so pitiful. It's a pity that I and Aiqing Ye were not there, otherwise I would never let such a thing happen."

Zhu Houzhao did not notice the change in Empress Dowager Zhang's expression, but said it very enthusiastically: "My mother, you don't know that when this person gets hungry, his stomach is like a fire, and he has no thoughts. He just thought that it would be good to eat a bowl of water. He was exhausted and wanted to not come to this world for a while."

Zhu Houzhao took a sip of tea and finally felt a little more comfortable. He continued, "I have suffered a lot this time. In the past, when I saw my father always heard that there was a famine and I didn't even have the intention to eat. At that time, I didn't understand. Being a father just had no appetite. Now I know that it turned out that the father could understand the difficulties of the victims."

Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes lit up. Although she was still resentful, she was both heartbroken and relieved now. This son was too doting in the past and did his own things. It was rare that he had such a thought. The late emperor had a spirit in heaven. If he heard these words, he would not know how happy he would be. (To be continued.)
