First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 595
Zhu Biao nodded knowingly and stretched out his hand to touch the head of the fifth child, Zhu Huan. Before he knew it, the fifth child was already 11 years old, and it was supposed to be the time for the canonization ceremony, which was really fast enough.

"I heard from the imperial physician of the imperial hospital that you have been inquiring about medical classics recently, but are you interested in this?"

After Zhu Biao was banned from the East Palace, there were few excessive things. However, after all, there were two pregnant women in the East Palace. Naturally, the imperial physician had to come every day to ask for pulse and reassure the fetus.

The other princes obviously heard it for the first time, and couldn't help but cast their curious eyes over it, while the eyes of the fourth eldest Zhu Di were a little worried. Zhu Wei is the younger brother of his mother and compatriots, and the way of good medicine is in ordinary people. It's not a bad thing, but it's not right in Tianjia.

The dignified prince, the future Prince of Daming, according to his father's expectation, is responsible for guarding the domain, protecting the country and the people against foreign peoples. Studying medicine can't take on the important task of keeping the people safe in the Shangwei country. What if the father hates it? it is good.

Zhu Huan also turned pale with fright. Since he suffered a serious illness last year, he found that the Four Books and Five Classics were useless. Instead, he became interested in medical classics. Let father and elder brother know.

"Brother, my younger brother just went to have a look, and he didn't delay his homework..."

Zhu Biao comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't say you were wrong. The nine sons of the dragon are all different. It is impossible for all the brothers to be carved out of the same mold. Come and tell the elder brother why you suddenly like him." It's medical."

Zhu Biao greeted his younger brothers to sit down, the main hall of Kunning Palace was extraordinary, it was originally the place where the empress summoned her wives, even bigger than Zhu Biao's Chengqian Palace.

Since it was his mother's palace, Zhu Biao didn't sit down, but just found a place to sit down, and the rest of the brothers also took their seats at will. Anyway, when the mother, mother and concubine came back, they had to give up their seats.

Zhu Biao is still very credible in front of his younger brothers. After listening to his eldest brother's comfort, Zhu Biao calmed down, and slowly talked about his experience when he was sick last year.

In fact, there was nothing special about it, but Zhu Biao still listened very seriously. The fifth child was clever and eager to learn. He respected his elder brother and his younger brother Gu Zhongdi. According to Lao Zhu's words, he was quite the same as Biao'er when he was a child, and Empress Ma also loved him very much.

Once when I was chatting with my father, my father once said that he intends to make the fifth king the king of Wu. If we follow the tradition of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the king of Wu should not say that he is compared with Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu. , even Lu, Zhao, Wei, Liang, and Yan can't compare, that is, they are more noble than the two-character county king.

But I can't bear it. This is Lao Zhu's title before he proclaimed himself emperor, so it is naturally very special in this dynasty. Lao Zhu also knows it in his heart, so it has not been confirmed until now. After all, it is easy for the subjects of the world to speculate.

Zhu Biao himself didn't care. He was afraid that his younger brother would be a joke after reaching this point, but he also had to consider the mood of his subjects. Will try my best to attack, just in case.

And another point is the issue of Wu Wang's fiefdom. The Jiangnan court taxed heavily, how could it be canonized to the vassal king, then it would be better to give him the crown prince.

However, if Lao Wu intends to become a doctor, there is a way to solve it. When Lao Zhu ordered the feudal king to defend the country, the royal family was still weak in heirs. Now it seems that there are a bit too many princes. Not enough points.

Zhu Biao took a sip of the tea offered by the court lady, then looked at Zhu Huan and said, "Since you often go to the imperial hospital, you should have seen that the imperial physicians are compiling a medical canon."

Zhu Huan's eyes lit up and said: "I see, I heard that the elder brother specially ordered the imperial physician to compile it, and many famous doctors from the state capital participated in it. The medicinal materials flowing in from all over the world have filled three storehouses."

Studying medicine cannot cure the world's diseases, but it can still relieve the suffering of the world's diseases. Zhu Biao naturally supports medicine: "The ceremony must be kept perfect, after all, it is to be circulated to the doctors of the world to help the people, but this ceremony may take several years For a long time, what the Taiyuan Hospital urgently compiles is the flora of famine relief and the method of mitigating epidemics and epidemics. In case of famine, you can find them according to the pictures, and they can be found anywhere. , can survive."

The younger ones are like a heavenly book. For these children who grew up in the palace and have never left the inner courtyard of the palace, the famine and famine are too far away. It is not surprising why they don't eat minced meat, and it is not their fault.

The older children, the second and the fourth, all followed the resettlers to provide disaster relief, so they naturally know what kind of tragedy the famine and epidemic will be. As for the fifth child, this child is born with a compassionate heart that can consider others. Standing up, he said, "Brother is benevolent and merciful, and I will worship you."

The young one who took the lead naturally followed. Zhu Biao waved them to sit down. He didn't know the virtues of the second and fourth children. Having suffered hardships and seen misery, it doesn't mean they can take part in it. The two of them are young Joined the army, followed Xu Da to crusade against Wang Baobao, and his heart has long been hardened after going through the battle.

"Fifth, if you really have the heart, elder brother will go tomorrow to ask for the imperial father's will to let you take charge of this matter. Rescuing famine herbal medicines or medical ceremonies are all good deeds that are expected to last forever. Indeed, my Zhu family should take the lead."

Zhu Lu was overjoyed at first, then lowered his head and refused: "Thank you, brother, for your love, but I have little knowledge, and I haven't read a few medical books, and I haven't treated patients. How dare I take such an important task? If I delay the important matter, I can't tell my father Brother Huang, explain."

Young but precocious, in other words, most of the children of this era are like this. They start a family early and start a career. Speaking of this age in the county and township, they are about to marry a wife.

The second child hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go, big brother. I will do my best. If I don't compile medical books, I won't leave the hospital!"

Zhu Di on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes, his younger brother also wanted to grab the errand, the second child is really not shameful enough, the sixth and seventh are also eight or nine years old, although he is not very sensible, but he can still see his second brother The eating looks ugly enough, and I can't help being a little disgusted. Among the elder brothers, the second brother is the worst. No wonder the mother concubine warned not to play with the second brother.

Zhu Biaoli ignored him and continued to talk to Lao Wu: "Physician Zhang told me that you are very smart and can draw inferences from one another. After you get the job, you just need to learn more, and you are also a consul. There are so many imperial physicians. What are you afraid of?"

While talking, a mighty fragrant wind hit, and all the brothers got up and stood up. The harem concubines headed by Empress Ma walked in together with several princesses, each with their own unique fragrances filling the hall.

"The sons and ministers are waiting to welcome the empress, and the empress will be blessed forever!"

Zhu Biao stepped forward to worship, Empress Ma stood with a smile, and the other concubines consciously stood on both sides, not daring to receive the prince's gift.

"The son is unfilial in the palace but has not come to pay homage to his mother for many days. Please ask her to punish him."

Empress Ma naturally won't punish her, it's just a scene, that's what it is like to be in this position, the Tian family has no personal affairs, every move has to be tested by the people of the world, and she has to be a model for the world.

After Zhu Biao got up, he briefly greeted the concubines. Many of them were the biological mothers and concubines of his younger brothers. Even for their sake, Zhu Biao would show a little respect. Some younger brothers held back Being dragged down by my younger brothers is two completely different lives.

Empress Ma naturally sits at the top, and only Empress Ma wears a red phoenix skirt in the palace. It's just the inner courtiers in the palace, and the wives of the government and the field are the outer courtiers, and no one dares to violate it.

After they were all seated, the high-ranking concubines began to say some festive words to make Empress Ma happy. It must be said that they were sisters for many years. Empress Ma was indeed delighted to be coaxed, although she knew that there would be no real conflicts between her husband and son. , but it is also true that the son has been grounded for a long time and has not seen him for a long time.
