My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 579 Zhu Gaochi is sick
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji was restless, and Zhu Zhanhe was also walking back and forth anxiously.

Only Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanhui and his son seemed quite calm, sitting there patiently waiting for the news.

Finally, an old imperial doctor came out of the palace, and Zhu Zhanji and others immediately gathered around him, asking endless questions.

The old imperial doctor finally found an opportunity and said loudly: "Prince, Prince, two princes, you don't have to worry. Although your Majesty's illness is rapid this time, it is not very serious. He has taken medicine and has fallen asleep now. In a few days, maybe It will get better.”

"Yi Liu, is my father's illness really not serious?"

Zhu Zhanji confirmed with joy upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty just suffered from wind, which caused the wind evil to enter the body. Now that he has taken the sweating medicine, as long as the cold air in the body is drained away, there will be no problem."

Dr. Liu replied patiently.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Zhu Zhanji finally felt relieved after hearing this, and Zhu Zhanhe next to him also let out a sigh of relief.

"Haha, let me tell you, brother, he is a good person and a natural person, so there will be no problem!"

Zhu Gaosui also laughed loudly at this time, and Zhu Zhanping next to him also echoed, but the smiles on their father and son's faces looked a bit fake no matter how you look at them.

Zhu Zhanhe glanced at Zhu Gaosui and his son. Zhu Gaoji was probably the happiest when Zhu Gaochi was ill. Now that they heard that Zhu Gaochi was fine, the fake smiles on their faces could not cover up their inner disappointment.

While Zhu Zhanji was happy, he did not forget to send someone to notify Xia Yuanji and others outside the palace gate. These ministers were relieved when they learned that Zhu Gaochi's condition was not serious, and then they dispersed to deal with government affairs.

Zhu Zhanhe did not stay long. After all, Zhu Gaochi fell asleep and did not know when he would wake up, so he quickly said goodbye and left, followed closely by Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanhe and his son.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhanhe visited the palace again, and this time he successfully saw Zhu Gaochi in the hospital bed.

"Ahem, cough, cough~ Zhanhe, sit down quickly!"

Zhu Gaochi greeted Zhu Zhanhe while coughing. His face turned red due to coughing, his voice became hoarse, and he seemed to have no energy.

"Uncle, how do you feel?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked hurriedly. Seeing Zhu Gaochi coughing like this, it seemed that he was still seriously ill.

"Okay...much better. My cough was worse yesterday than today. After taking the imperial doctor's medicine, I started to sweat and feel much lighter."

Zhu Gaochi cleared his throat again and replied.

"That's good. The weather has been cold recently. Uncle, you should pay more attention to your health."

Zhu Zhanhe finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was frightened by Zhu Di's illness last time. No matter how he treated it, he never got better, and finally died on the road. So he was really afraid that Zhu Gaochi would follow in Zhu Di's footsteps.

"It all comes down to the weather in Beijing. When I was a child, I used to get seriously ill every winter. After I went to Nanjing, I never got sick again in winter. But now I'm back in Beijing. This disease Also followed."

When Zhu Gaochi finished talking, he slapped the edge of the bed angrily. When he mentioned the bad weather in Beijing, he also showed disgust.

"What my uncle said is that the winter here in Beijing is indeed cold and dry, and I always have nosebleeds because of the cold and dry weather. There is really nothing I can do about it." Zhu Zhanhe also followed Zhu Gaochi's words and complained.

But this is also true. From a climate perspective, Beijing is indeed not as good as Nanjing. It faces the Yangtze River, has more precipitation, and the temperature is about ten degrees higher, so even in winter, the air is relatively humid.

"So, when your grandpa wanted to move the capital, I was unwilling. If you had listened to me and stayed in Nanjing, not only would you have avoided a lot of trouble, but you would also not have to endure the harsh climate here in Beijing!"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly said dissatisfied.

This made Zhu Zhanhe stunned. He didn't expect that Zhu Gaochi would be involved in the matter of moving the capital. This made him confused for a while how to interface?
Fortunately, Zhu Zhanhe responded quickly, so he hesitated and finally said again: "The climate in Nanjing is indeed better than Beijing, but Beijing also has its advantages, otherwise the emperor would not have decided to move the capital against all the opinions!"

Zhu Zhanhe is obviously Zhu Di's biggest supporter on the matter of moving the capital. Even if Zhu Di is gone now, he will not allow anyone to undermine this decision, not even Zhu Gaochi.

When Zhu Gaochi heard Zhu Zhanhe's answer, he didn't say much, but coughed a few more times, and then changed the subject and said: "Zhanhe, is there any news about your father? Where is he now? When can you come back?"

"I just received the news that my father and the others have left Tianzhu. Calculating the itinerary, I estimate that they will be able to return to Daming in June next year!"

Zhu Zhanhe replied immediately.

There is a long distance between Tianzhu and the Ming Dynasty, but now maritime trade is booming, and there are many ships traveling between each other. In some areas, carrier pigeons can also be used to deliver messages, so Zhu Zhanhe can know Zhu Gaoxu's movements in advance.

"Next year in June? How are the preparations in Changling? It's freezing now. Will the progress of the project be affected?"

Zhu Gaochi asked again.

"Yeah, it's too cold now. Many projects in Changling have been stopped, but don't worry. The underground projects are almost completed. They will be completed after next spring. As for the above-ground buildings, they can be slowly completed. The repairs are expected to take several years to complete."

Zhu Zhanhe replied.

The Changling Tomb in history was not completely completed until the reign of Zhu Zhanji. This was also the first imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing, laying the foundation for the twelve imperial mausoleums that followed.

"That's good. Now that I'm sick, since Ji Ji is the prince, many government affairs are burdened on him, so I'm afraid you will have to worry more about your grandpa's funeral."

Zhu Gaochi said, reaching out his hand and patting Zhu Zhanhe's shoulder gently.

"Uncle, you're welcome, these are what I should do!"

Zhu Zhanhe said solemnly.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi had another violent cough. Zhu Zhanhe saw that he was not energetic, so he said goodbye and left. When he left, he also told Zhu Gaochi to pay more attention to rest.

However, when leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhanhe frowned. Although Zhu Gaochi did not say it explicitly, his words had already revealed that he wanted to move back to Nanjing. You must know that in order to move the capital, Zhu Di faced the opposition of Manchu officials. Many people were even demoted for this.

This is Zhu Di. Because of his prestige, he moved the capital to Beijing. Even if the capital was moved, the three main palaces were burned down. But no matter what, Zhu Di finally withstood the pressure and finally stood firm in Beijing. The base of the foot.

But Zhu Di paid such a high price to successfully move the capital, and now he was abandoned by Zhu Gaochi so easily. This made Zhu Zhanhe feel a surge of unknown anger in his heart.
