Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 15 Death Calamity
"When did I die in history?" Zhu Xiongying was a little puzzled and curious, "It should be that I didn't live past the age of ten, so now it seems that I may have survived the catastrophe of death?"

Eight-year-old Zhu Xiongying was sitting on the couch, just in a daze.

Empress Ma came and said with a smile, "Ying'er, it's time to go to morning class."

As a model of the harem, although Empress Ma is an empress, she still personally manages Lao Zhu's meals every day, and even cares about the meals and clothes of the princes and grandchildren, with meticulous care.The palace man may be lucky enough to conceive, she is doubly sympathetic, and the concubine may be disobedient, it is she who tries to mediate.

Zhu Xiongying got up and said with a smile, "Grandmother, after I finish school, let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk. When the time comes, call Xi'er and Yue'er and let them talk with you."

Empress Ma nodded cheerfully, smiling all over her face, "Okay, we'll talk about it after you finish school."

Zhu Xiongying, who is diligent and studious, makes Ru Yu helpless. As another companion of the grandson, Song Shen, Song Lian's grandson, is also helpless.They all wanted Taisun to become a standard Confucian emperor, but they also saw that Taisun didn't care about it at all.

Listening to the Five Classics is what you need to listen to, but Zhu Xiongying often just listens to it without seeking a deep understanding.

Lao Zhu didn't say anything about it, and Zhu Biao wouldn't say much either.Both father and son understood that they didn't want Zhu Xiongying to become a Confucian emperor in the minds of many civil servants.

Looking at Zhu Xiongying who had grown up, after careful consideration, Lao Zhu also discussed with the queen for a long time that it was time for the grandson to go back to worship his ancestors.

It is also the common opinion of Lao Zhu and Empress Ma to let the grandson return to Fengyang Imperial Tomb to worship.This can also be regarded as a kind of "declaring to the world" that the emperor's eldest grandson has "grown up".

In fact, there is no need to worry so much about the issue of safety. The main thing is that the guard of honor is put on display, and there are guards, eunuchs and maids who are close to him.There are also officials from the Ministry of Rites and so on, and Zhu Xiongying doesn't need to worry about everything.

He just needs to be the officiant. He just needs to be as elegant and wise as the eldest grandson of the emperor should be. This is also a more formal appearance of the third generation of the emperor.

Xu Da's eldest son, Xu Yungong, Cao Guogong's son Li Jinglong, and his son-in-law's lieutenant Liu Cha accompanied him.

Such a configuration also made many people see some of Lao Zhu's thoughts.The current crown prince's position can be said to be the most stable among the crown princes. It seems that there is no need to think so much about the grandson's position now, which is also the only one.

"Uncle Huang, can you sort out the legacy of Uncle Chengyi?" Zhu Xiongying sat on the carriage and asked curiously, "If it's sorted out, can you lend it to me?"

Liu Bowen is too amazing in folk stories, so Zhu Xiongying is still quite curious.Although he knows that Liu Bowen is not as magical as in the folk tales based on the information he has now, he is still a little curious.

Known as one of the three masters of poetry and prose in the early Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu called Liu Bowen "my son's house" many times. Liu Bowen is proficient in astronomy, military art, and mathematics, and is still very talented and capable.

Liu Qi immediately replied respectfully, "Grandfather, the first draft has been finalized, and I hope Grandson will correct it."

What kind of ax is right, it is just holding Zhu Xiongying.

The army marched slowly. As a benevolent grandson, Zhu Xiongying felt sorry for the sergeant who was too tired and too hot to wear armor in the summer, so he slowed down his schedule a little and did not march at the hottest time.

Xu Yungong and Li Jinglong began to 'sit and discuss the Tao'. Both of them had read the art of war, and Li Jinglong seemed to be more powerful when talking about war on paper, and even suppressed Xu Yungong.

"This guy is either Zhao Kuo, or he really is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han." For Li Jinglong, Zhu Xiongying expressed his closeness, but he muttered in his heart, "It's better to be like Xu Yungong, loyal, reliable, and not lacking in ability. .”

Xu Yungong is the eldest son of Xu Da.It seems that he defeated Zhu Di several times in Jing Nan.As Zhu Di's brother-in-law, Xu Yungong did not recognize Zhu Di's Jing Nan, so he was imprisoned.It was Xu Yungong's younger brother who became Zhu Yunqi's internal supporter and was killed by Zhu Yunqi who was desperate.

The army continued to move slowly towards Fengyang, but suddenly, everything was in chaos.

A fast horse is coming, very anxious, "Your Highness, the Empress is seriously ill"

Zhu Xiongying was struck by thunder in an instant. In the few years since he came to this world, he grew up beside Empress Ma and received endless love and care.But now, what the hell is going on here? !
"One person, two horses, three horses!" Zhu Xiongying was in a hurry, regardless of Xu Yungong and Liu Cha's persuasion, "Respond to God immediately!"

Xu Yungong, who is a superb rider, led Zhu Xiongying on horseback, and the bumps were nothing.There is no such thing as cherishing horsepower.

Empress Ma was fine when she left, so why is she seriously ill now?Just sleep and get seriously ill!

The travel-stained party rode back to Yingtian Mansion on horseback, Xu Yungong was no longer as steady as before, but rushed towards the imperial city with his grandson in his arms.

"Grandmother!" Zhu Xiongying was crying, he was a little confused now, "Grandmother!"

Empress Ma struggled to open her eyes, and held Zhu Xiongying's hand, "Ying'er."

Zhu Xiongying's tears flowed down uncontrollably, and then she turned around and asked loudly, "Where's the imperial doctor? Where's the people in the imperial hospital?!"

"Ying'er, life and death are God's arrangements. What's the use of praying and offering sacrifices! Besides, how can imperial physicians keep people alive! If taking medicine doesn't work, I'm afraid you will be condemned to the imperial physicians because of me, right?" Empress Ma squeezed With some smiles, he comforted, "Grandfather, don't blame them."

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly, no matter what Queen Ma said at this time, he would agree.

Holding Zhu Xiongying's hand, Empress Ma said, "Grandson, I know you miss your mother. The imperial grandmother will go first and take care of your mother for you. My grandson is so smart and sensible, she will definitely be happy."

Zhu Xiongying's tears flowed down, and he choked up, "Grandmother, I don't want you to go to find my concubine mother. If you leave too, what should I do? What about my father? What about my grandfather?"

"You three, please be well." Empress Ma forced a smile, her voice was weak, "Grandmother is over there, she will protect you."

Empress Ma was seriously ill, not only Zhu Xiongying was in a state of confusion, but Zhu Biao was also very flustered and sad at this time.The workaholic old Zhu has no intention of governing at this time, so he has to come over from time to time to have a look.

And Zhu Xiongying, who has been guarding Queen Ma's side, can feel that his grandmother may leave at any time.

One day in early autumn, Empress Ma, who had been sleeping for a whole day, suddenly woke up, looked at Zhu Xiongying who was lying beside her, and looked at Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao who were dozing on the chairs, and coughed lightly.

In an instant, everyone who should wake up woke up.

Lao Zhu trembled in his heart, and smiled, "Sister, you scared us to death."

"Chongba." Empress Ma smiled, and said softly, "I hope that Your Majesty can seek out capable people, listen to other people's opinions, and treat them seriously from beginning to end, so that all descendants can be capable, and ministers and people can rely on them."

Old Zhu nodded again and again, his voice choked up, "Sister, let's remember. Sister, as long as you are good, we will promise you anything! You have to remember, only you can persuade us to live!"

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Biaoer, remember to honor your father and take good care of Yinger."

"Grandmother, don't say any unlucky words!" Zhu Xiongying said in a hurry, "If you are gone, what will we do? Without you as the master, no one can take good care of us."

Empress Ma squeezed out a smile, and said with difficulty, "Then we, Yinger, will have to work harder. The emperor's grandmother is gone. Remember to take good care of your grandpa and your father."

"I can't persuade you!" Zhu Xiongying choked with tears and said, "Only the emperor's grandmother can take care of us."

Empress Ma was very weak, and her voice was inaudible, "Chier, the imperial grandmother is getting old, and it's time to go. Yinger, let's go take care of your mother first, and protect you with her. Yinger, promise the imperial grandmother that you will be happy in the future." Be a good emperor"
