After hearing the scolding of Queen Zhang, Zhu Xiuying lowered her head and bent her body again and said guiltily, "My daughter is unfilial, which makes her father and the emperor unable to afford to be ill. Moreover, the country cannot be without a king for a day. My daughter has delayed the overall situation of the family and country because of her willfulness for a while. She is guilty and begs her father and mother to punish her."

After all, after raising her for many years, Empress Zhang has a deep relationship with Zhu Xiuying. But when she looked back at Emperor Hongzhi who was lying on the soft collapse, she still couldn't get out of her breath.

However, Emperor Hongzhi was a good old man. He heard his soft words and sighed silently.

He patted Queen Zhang's hand and said, "Queen, don't be angry, I can't blame Ying'er for my heart problems. It was because I believed the slander of King Qingliu that I thought of using Yinger to win over He Jin."

"But the queen has heard of that man He Jin. Not to mention the character of his character, how many young men are there in the Ming Dynasty can only be reached? Not to mention that I heard of that boy, but he knows very well the way of playing hard to get."

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi even smiled and said, "The Queen is also a veteran. How can I not know that Ying'er will still look down on the sons of ordinary good merchants after being fascinated by him? If I hadn't married you for more than ten years before him, I'm afraid."

The more her husband said, the more he became more and more distorted, Queen Zhang couldn't help but blush. After giving Emperor Hongzhi a coquettish look, she couldn't help but feel distressed when she looked at Zhu Xiuying.

But Zhu Xiuying, who was on the ground, never expected that things would go like this.

For a moment, she quickly said, "The father and mother do not need to be arrogant to her daughter. The daughter does not know the general situation this time and ignores the overall situation. She never thought that she would be used by someone who is interested. She heard that the clan's mansion had already made a ruling to demote her daughter to a commoner. She begs the father and mother to beg her to be corrected and the court rules."

When Queen Zhang heard this, she felt more and more sorry for the adopted daughter who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She said, "Silly child, you are not meant. This matter is behind the scenes of the father and the people in the clan cannot make a comeback."

As she said that, she looked at Emperor Hongzhi on the soft collapse, meaning that she wanted her husband to support her.

But Emperor Hongzhi suddenly turned his eyes and repeated, "Being used by someone with intention? Ying'er, do you already know something?"

After all, he is a young man. In terms of lying, Zhu Xiuying can compare with He Jin, even compared with Shen Xiuer and Liu Qingshuang, the two girls can surpass her several streets.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Houzhao immediately twisted Zhu Xiuying's hand and shook her eyebrows to signal Zhu Xiuying to cry.

At the same time, he whispered, and stood up and said angrily, "Father, why is the country legitimate if your family is not upright? The emperor's sister is too inappropriate this time. If you let your sons see it, it would not be an exaggeration to be demoted to a commoner!"

Queen Zhang immediately wanted to beat Zhu Houzhao, but after all, she was also the lord of the harem. When she looked back at Emperor Hongzhi, she found the abnormality between the two.

So the couple blinked slightly, and the years of tacit understanding communicated in an instant.

Queen Zhang continued to sing her blushing face and said, "Your Majesty must not. Although Ying'er is not our biological child, I have always regarded it as a flesh and blood. How could I be expelled from the palace because of my unintentional mistake?"

Emperor Hongzhi forced himself to hold on and said angrily, "The emperor is justified. I feel that he is too arrogant and has made them so careless. He was bewitched by He Jin. He just listens to the wind and rain, and has no idea at all!"

"Don't say anything nonsense, my brother-in-law won't lie to the emperor, all this is nothing more." When Emperor Hongzhi was about to blame He Jin, Zhu Houzhao was disorganized at that time.

Then Zhu Xiuying was so angry that she bit her teeth secretly. She didn't care about the emperor and the empress in front of her. She pulled Zhu Houzhao over and asked, "What are you talking nonsense!"

But it was obviously too late at this time. Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang grasped the keywords immediately, and looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "Brother-in-law?"

Now Emperor Hongzhi became really angry and angrily scolded, "What are you and that He Jin doing? It's not enough to make me angry and vomit blood. Do you have to piss off me to death before you will be willing?"

Queen Zhang was also a good man, and tears came down at that time. While stroking Emperor Hongzhi's calmness, she said with tears in her eyes, "Ying'er, Zhao'er, you are not young now."

"Your Majesty is working hard all day long, and he is exhausted. It would be fine if you can't help, why do you still anger your father so much? If he really has a few shortcomings, how can he let his mother live?"

Faced with the couple's superb and sincere acting skills, the two boys who have not experienced many ups and downs can't stand it.

Zhu Xiuying immediately burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly, "Father, mother, my daughter did not mean to hide it from you."

Emperor Hongzhi felt that women were in trouble. It would probably take a long time for Zhu Xiuying to say it. He suddenly pointed to the sword and roared Zhu Houzhao, "Is it not easy to come quickly!"

"Father, please spare my life." Zhu Houzhao was indeed straightforward and immediately replied hurriedly, "Actually, the emperor's sister and brother-in-law have been in love, but the Ming Dynasty's etiquette stipulates that if you become a prince-in-law, you cannot participate in state affairs. If your brother-in-law is like a person who cares about the world, of course, he will not let go of his ambitions in his heart."

"Originally, the emperor's sister and brother-in-law planned to break it up in one fell swoop, but the fate was unknown and the love was deep. How could such a thing be broken up just by saying it?"

"Then the emperor's sister wanted to get rid of her identity as a princess for her brother-in-law. As a result, her brother-in-law was being praised and killed by those heartless officials because of the border trade."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly became a little stunned and said, "You mean, all this is just right?"

After all, he had been an emperor for sixteen years. After returning to the bedroom for two days, he also realized that the officials' memorials were abnormal and very unreasonable.

However, his real knot in his heart was not here, but he was entangled in the fact that He Jin was arrogant and looked down on the court. Even the emperor's daughter abandoned her shoes. How ignorant is this?

But now, after hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, he actually cared about Zhu Xiuying.

And just waited for Zhu Xiuying to marry her home as a eldest wife after she was demoted - such sincere actions could explain the problem than any rumors.

After having this idea, Emperor Hongzhi felt that he couldn't blame these two children for this matter, as it was clear that his father had not done his job well.

If I could care more and talk about this matter with Zhu Xiuying and He Jin for a good life, I would be able to solve it more decently. It would not force the two children to secretly figure out their ideas, and just fall into the trap of those people.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao also understood the temperament of Emperor Hongzhi. Seeing this, he knew that the matter had been successful 70% or 80% of the time, and said, "Of course it was a misunderstanding. My brother-in-law is like a son-in-law. What a sunny, confident and pure character?"

"Sunshine and confident, with a pure character?" When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he turned black with you two again. How could you have anything to do with these eight words?

But Zhu Houzhao was still unwilling to accept it and said, "Yes, my son also admits that my brother-in-law is greedy for money, but the father must know that no one is perfect. My brother-in-law comes from a small family. Before he is alone, he can only survive by relying on widowed mother's clothes to wash clothes. How can he not be greedy for money?"

"But the most important thing is that every penny in my brother-in-law's hand is earned cleanly. And every time he develops a business, he brings benefits to the people of Ming Dynasty."

"Compared with those corrupt officials who came from a large family, who had no worries about food and clothing, but after becoming an official, he also lost his public and sucked ointment and sucked blood, he was more than a hundred times noble, and he also made a hundred times more contributions to the Ming Dynasty!"

When Zhu Houzhao got here, he became more and more excited and continued, "Father, why did those officials praise their brother-in-law this time? Isn't it because his brother-in-law opened up the trade on the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, which caused thousands of wealth to pour into the Ming Dynasty?"

"Those officials and the marriage and business of the tribe behind them are like flies that smell blood, and they all want to come up and get a share of the pie."

"But my brother-in-law is sensible and knows how to be vigilant in times of peace. He knows that if the Ming Dynasty wants to make trade for a long time, he needs to be strong himself!"

"The benefits obtained from border trade should be given priority to supply military reform to strengthen our Daming muscles and bones. Otherwise, the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty will open and trade exchanges will be rubbed. What should the Ming Dynasty use to adjust the balance in the middle? Once the alien races surging, the Ming Dynasty has no steel bars and iron bones yet, so what should we use to resist the fight!"

Zhu Houzhao doesn’t need to say much about what happened next. Emperor Hongzhi has certainly heard too much about the arguments of civil servants suppressing military officers.

Especially when border wars continue, many civil servants turn a blind eye to the ears and say that it is nothing but a disease of scabies, and only the teachings of education should be used to calm people's hearts.

Once the border trade is handed over to these group forces that are bullying the superiors and concealing the subordinates, the consequences are simply unimaginable. For a moment, his face gradually became cold and said, "Go and send Mou Bin to you."
