Chapter 109: Misfortunes and Misfortunes
There was nothing wrong with the court, and everything was going on step by step, so Zhu Houzhao was idle because there was really nothing worth his participation. When he had nothing to do, he went out for a walk to see the new firearms made by the War War, or he was with his Crown Princess in the palace, and lived a leisurely and comfortable life.
Since traveling through time, this should be the most relaxing day for Zhu Houzhao, not only physically but also psychologically.
March was coming in a flash. The days were good, but bad news came from the palace that the Empress Dowager was critically ill.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Empress Dowager's status was too high. Her serious illness involved many people's thoughts. My father found all the imperial physicians, but he still failed to stop the Empress Dowager's death. After half a month of bed, Empress Dowager Zhou died. Zhu Youzing mourned her. The palace was covered with plain silly, and entertainment was prohibited in the capital for one month.
Some disharmonious voices also appeared in the court, such as the father posthumously named Empress Dowager Zhou, Xiaosu Zhen Shunkang Yi Guanglie Fu Tiancheng Shengrui, and buried him together.
However, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, only the legitimate queen can be the posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumou
The Empress Dowager Taihang Zhou family worshipped him separately in Fengci Hall, and did not build a temple. The emperor's posthumous posthumous title (the name Rui, the posthumous title of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty), and was still called the Empress Dowager Taihu, and the posthumous title of Xiaosu Zhen Shunkang Yi Guanglie Fu Tianchengsheng Taihu.
There is one thing that my father did not give in, that is, he buried together in Yuling. Since the Empress Dowager Zhou, Sijun's biological mother was also able to be buried together with the emperor.
Zhu Youzhang was worried about these things, and what was Zhu Houzhao worried about? Although he was not as famous as a state-manager in mathematics, politics, and although he was not as famous as a state-controller, he was also doing things these days. The court had nothing to do at this time. The entire Ming Dynasty was covered in plain clothes, and everyone tried to keep a low profile, and no one was willing to show up at this time.
However, the unlucky days of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have come. In April, the Ningxia earthquake and the city walls were shattered. The four prefectures of Hangzhou, Jia, Shao and Ning were earthquakes. Then, Nanjing was earthquakes with Su, Song, Chang, Zhen, Huai, Yang, Ning Qifu, Tong and Hezhou on the same day. The earthquakes in the seven prefectures of Pu, Jie, Jie, Jiang, Xia, Pinglu, Ronghe, Wenxi, Ruicheng, and Yishi counties in Shanxi.
After this earthquake, the Ming Dynasty was directly shocked from top to bottom. What is this situation?
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are places where the empire's wealth depends, and Nanjing is one of the capitals of the empire. In the same year, the earthquake occurred. Many people stood up and said that this was an ominous sign, asking His Majesty to diligently cultivate moral principles and pay taxes in meetings. From this time on, some people even put forward some memorials against reform, but they were all thrown into the garbage dump by Zhu Houzhao.
Only Zhu Houzhao knew that the Little Ice Age was coming, the earth began to become unstable, and various disasters would follow in the future.
Coldiness is just the most basic manifestation. Droughts, floods, earthquakes, and these geological disasters will continue to invade, and will continue to make life in the Ming Dynasty, or make life in the world difficult for people around the world. Why did large-scale global navigation break out at this time in Europe? Because they are not easy for them and need the support of overseas resources.
"Your Highness, Hanlin editor Tang Bohu asked for a meeting." Liu Jin also knew that His Royal Highness was in a bad mood these days, so he spoke carefully and even looked at Zhu Houzhao for fear that His Royal Highness would lose his temper.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned. Tang Bohu was here? The imperial examination was over long ago. It was a big deal, but there were too many major events in the imperial examination during this period. The imperial examination was once every three years, and no one could care about it. Zhu Houzhao knew that Tang Bohu was very good this time and directly passed the second place. You should know that Tang Bohu was the first in the Suzhou Prefecture Examination, entered the prefecture school, and ranked first in the central and southern Zhili Provincial Examination (Xie Yuan).
Jie Yuan from Nanzhili is very difficult to take. As for the last time, Zhu Houzhao saw that there was something wrong with it.
There must be some bribery exams, but it was leaked later. The officials were afraid that they would be implicated, so they simply put Tang Bohu in the middle of the exam. Otherwise, how could Jie Yuan from Nanzhili not even pass the exam? This time, Tang Bohu finally showed up, which proved his strength. He was selected by his father as the second in the first place, that is, the second place.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the top scholar was the Hanlin editor, the board model and Tanhua were the Hanlin Academy editors, and the top few in the second place were the Hanlin Academy Shujishi.
There were many Shujishis in this generation, and there was a very famous person. Everyone knew that this person was the famous Yan Song. After seeing Yan Song's name, Zhu Houzhao was stunned. He really couldn't remember when Yan Song became famous, but he didn't expect that Yan Song was the Shujishi this year.
"Let him come in!" Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, Tang Bohu had been a divine friend for a long time and had many payments, but this was the first time he met in private.
Before long, Tang Bohu walked in from outside. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at the famous Tang Yin and Tang Bohu. He was in his thirties, with a tall figure and a bright eye, and looked very energetic. Tang Bohu, who was thirty-five, had already wasted half of his life. The average life expectancy in this era was not high. Tang Bohu was only a Jinshi at this age. Although it was not said that he had achieved great success late, it was a little worse than those geniuses.
Fortunately, it has been done. I will not waste my whole life like I did in my previous life. I will not be afraid of having a good meal late. It is also good now.
"I am the editor of Hanlin, Tang Yin, to meet with Your Highness." After entering the hall, Tang Bohu lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground, giving a big gift to Zhu Houzhao. This big gift was not only because of Zhu Houzhao's status as a prince, but also because of his gratitude to Zhu Houzhao. Tang Bohu knew very well in his heart that His Highness, the prince whom he had never met, had good deeds to him.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and then smiled: "Okay, get up!" When Tang Bohu stood up, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "I have wanted to come to you for a long time, but the court has had too many things during this period, and all of them have been delayed."
After hearing Zhu Houzhao's casual words, Tang Bohu suddenly felt warm in his heart, and this is the so-called grace of knowing to meet.
"I have long wanted to come to see Your Highness, but there are many things in the court, so I dare not disturb you. Now there are fewer things, so I come here as soon as possible." Tang Bohu hurriedly bowed, his expression slightly excited, and his tone was trembling.
