Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 139
Da Zhu was sick, which made Lao Zhu very uneasy, and Xiao Zhu was also very worried at this time.The main reason is that Da Zhu's current physical fitness can't keep up, and he has to suffer from a serious illness every year, which is really scary.

What's more difficult at this time is that Da Zhu suffers from back sores.Back then, Xu Da also suffered from back sores and died after deteriorating. In this era, back sores are indeed quite troublesome and fatal.

In the absence of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, it is difficult to completely eliminate the lesions by relying on traditional Chinese medicine alone.Da Zhu's entire back was swollen, probably in the stage of infection and festering.

Lao Zhu was very disturbed. When he was worried about his son, he was also worried about his great-grandson.Zhu Wenyin was carried away from the Eastern Palace. The child is too young to be sick. Toddlers are relatively delicate, so we need to be more careful.

Zhu Yunqi had a heavy task during this time, he waited carefully in front of Da Zhu, and never took a step away day and night.

This is what it should be, Zhu Yunqi is also a son, and it is normal to have such filial piety.As for Zhu Xiongying, there is nothing to worry about. This kind of thing can be regarded as his acquiescence, and it can even be said that he brought it up on his own initiative.

When the prince was unable to go to court, Zhu Xiongying, the grandson, came to take over, and he is now at the head of the squad.Instead of basically just listening and not talking like before, Zhu Xiongying now occasionally speaks and gives some opinions and ideas of his own.Sometimes, it is natural to have some discussions with Wenwu.

In terms of government affairs, it can be said that everything is going relatively smoothly, and the development of Ming Dynasty is stable and smooth.It seems that the prince's illness did not seem to have any impact on the operation of the court, and everything seemed to be in order.

It's just that this is just what it looks like on the surface, especially as Da Zhu seems to be getting more and more sick, many people feel uneasy.On the surface, the seemingly peaceful court is actually undercurrents.

Zhu Yunxi who hurried back came to Zhu Xiongying's bedroom and said in a low voice, "Brother Emperor, Father was only awake for half an hour today."

"Is it more serious than the year before?" Zhu Xiongying sighed, and said, "Where is the imperial physician? Are they all prescribing gentle prescriptions?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded. The prince was seriously ill the year before last, which frightened many people.At that time, many people even prepared for the worst.At that time, fortunately, the prince survived the crisis without any risk.But again this year, the prince became seriously ill again, and it became more and more serious.

The silent Zhu Xiongying didn't know what to do, he didn't study medicine.Zhu Xiongying didn't dare to fool around with so-called folk remedies.He's not stupid, he wouldn't just hear it from hearsay, or think he's a doctor after a quick search on Baidu.

Even though Zhu Xiongying was speechless about the current imperial doctors who were worried about making mistakes, he still chose to trust those professional doctors.As a layman, I don't need to instruct doctors how to see a doctor.

Let Zhu Yunxi stay in the East Palace, Zhu Xiongying will go to Qianqing Palace at this time.

The atmosphere in Qianqing Palace was not good. When Lao Zhu was silent and had a stern face, the terrifying aura would make the maids and eunuchs tremble.The current guards are also very clear that His Majesty the Emperor is in a bad mood, and if he makes a mistake, he will be doomed forever.

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xiongying beckoned, "Go and get some meals, more portions."

Lao Zhu raised his head and said, "We're not hungry. If Ying'er is hungry, just eat something. The lunch box is over there."

"The food is cold, so you can't eat it." Zhu Xiongying said directly, "Grandpa Huang should eat some too, don't starve to death. When the meal comes, let's all eat some."

The two of them also tacitly did not mention Da Zhu's matter, mainly because they both knew it well.Da Zhu's situation cannot be hidden from the two of them, they both know it well.Naturally, they all understood that Da Zhu's condition was not very good.

The atmosphere was actually not very good. At this time, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu simply ate something, and the two people who were worried began to review the memorial.Even if there are still some troublesome things that make them full of worries, at this time they still have to focus on state affairs.

When night fell, Lao Zhu tossed and turned, he had some bad premonitions.

Speaking of which, Lao Zhu now has 25 sons, and there is Lao Jiu Zhu Qi who has not grown up.Among the sons who grew up in Fan, the eighth Zhu Zi and the tenth Zhu Tan also passed away in the past two or three years, which naturally made Lao Zhu quite sad.

But now the feeling is very bad, mainly because of the different emotions invested by the prince Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu.The most important thing is that Da Zhu is the prince who has been carefully cultivated and the successor of this dynasty.

The 26-year-old crown prince has been handling government affairs for nearly 20 years.Lao Zhu is very satisfied with his successor. He believes that once the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely be able to take over the government smoothly.But now, even if the precious grandson is very smart and has been in contact with the government earlier, Lao Zhu is still worried.

In the final analysis, Zhu Xiongying's time in contact with the government is relatively short, and it is true that he does not deal with government affairs.The previous Lao Zhu and Da Zhu cultivated Zhu Xiongying, of course they were also cultivating, but they didn't have such a sense of urgency, and felt that it didn't matter if they took their time.

But the current situation is a bit different. Once something happens, maybe there will be some twists and turns when the emperor grandson takes over.Even if the grandson takes over, it may be difficult for him to straighten out the government immediately. The grandson is not a qualified imperial heir.

The training mode of successors is also different. Da Zhu is a prince, who can be directly trained to succeed.

And Zhu Xiongying didn't look like he was bluffing outside. It seemed that he had a lot of power and a strong team. He even sat in charge in Beiping for a period of time, taking charge of major military and political affairs.

It's just that Zhu Xiongying's power is more of a gift from Lao Zhu. It would be an exaggeration to say that Zhu Xiongying now has the ability to manage the government.Today's Zhu Xiongying can deal with small things without any problems, and a state with one capital may be all right, but if it is bigger, it will be a bit of a problem.

There are some things that many people probably don't want to see happen, but under such circumstances, many people are silently preparing in their hearts, at least they don't need to be caught off guard.

It's just that many people think about such things in their hearts.If it was really said, it would be an outrageous thing.

The atmosphere in the palace is very oppressive. At this time, people in the palace are afraid that they will be caught if they make a mistake.In fact, the same is true in the court, His Majesty the Emperor is in a very bad mood, if this offends the Emperor, the end will be even more miserable.

Da Zhu, who was dizzy, had a high fever all the time, and the imperial doctors were waiting by his side day and night, and they were constantly discussing prescriptions, etc., but it seemed that there was no good effect, and there was still no way to change Da Zhu's condition. heavy situation.

In November of the 26th year of Hongwu, at the end of the year that everyone thought was smooth and stable, the crown prince Zhu Biao passed away.

This caught many people off guard, and it seemed to be expected by many.After all, the crown prince is seriously ill, which is also known by many people.

Lao Zhu, who is nearly [-] years old, can't accept this heavy blow. His wife is gone, and now his son is gone. He is almost alone now.Back then, he worked so hard to fight the world just to give his wife and children a rich life, but now his wife and children are gone.

Seeing Lao Zhu crying so hard, Zhu Xiongying felt extremely distressed.When Empress Ma died of illness, Lao Zhu cried bitterly.And now that Da Zhu died of illness, Lao Zhu also made no secret of his grief, which is really sad.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying is naturally a filial son, and it seems that he can only do these things well.Zhu Xiongying is also very clear that many people will stare at him at this time.

Maybe some people will plan, for example, to seize the excuse of the emperor's grandson's rudeness and unfilial piety.Even if there is no way for Zhu Xiongying to be abolished, it might be able to create some difficulties for Zhu Xiongying, making Zhu Xiongying appear to be virtuous and so on.

The one who should observe filial piety is naturally to observe filial piety. The current civil and military officials, especially the vassals of the Eastern Palace, are also coming to see off and worship their lord at this time.

The crown prince just left. In fact, at this time, the undercurrent was even more turbulent, and now many people have really moved their minds.Not only civil and military officials, but also honorable relatives, including Zhu Xiongying's uncles, they all have some ideas at this time.

If Zhu Biao ascends the throne and Zhu Xiongying is the crown prince, then everything is easy to say.But Zhu Biao is only a prince now, and there are too many princes who failed to ascend the throne in history.Even though Zhu Biao is in power and has received too many favors, he is still just a prince, not an emperor.

As for Zhu Xiongying, he is indeed the grandson of the emperor.Now in theory, Zhu Xiongying seems to be the one closest to the throne.It's just that some princes feel that they may also have a chance, and if they don't fight for it, they will definitely be a little bit unwilling.

Even if the opportunity may not be the greatest, but at least there are some opportunities, and that is the Ninth Five-Year Lord!
If the position of the crown prince belongs to the eldest brother, then there is no problem. The younger brother is convinced and dare not have any other thoughts.But now that the eldest brother is gone, why is it the eldest nephew's turn?

I still have to work hard to fight for it. When the elder brother is around, it is like a bright moon in the sky.But the eldest brother is gone now, which naturally means a lot of possibilities.

Whether there will be turmoil, whether there will be any twists and turns, or whether there will be some changes in the court in the next period of time or in the next few years, this is also a matter that is hard to say. After all, the crown prince is gone, and many things are going on. At this time, it seems to become more subtle.
