My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 591 His Majesty has passed away

In the evening, the Pearl Hairpin Club finally broke up, and the ladies from each family left one after another. Everyone looked worried.

This time, Zhu Gaochi actually wanted to restart the maritime trade ban, which would fundamentally cut off the financial resources of each family. You must know that many nobles now rely on sea trade to make money. If sea trade is stopped, the whole family will have to drink from the northwest wind. .

During dinner, Chang Sining and Sun Ruowei also looked tired. When they saw Zhu Zhanhe, they immediately asked: "Husband, what do you think, uncle, why do you want to restart the sea ban for no reason?"

"I don't know how many times I've asked you this question. Unfortunately, I still can't figure out what uncle is thinking in his head!"

Zhu Zhanhe spread his hands and replied helplessly.

"Then what should we do now? Do we have to watch His Majesty cut off everyone's financial resources?"

Sun Ruowei also asked eagerly.

Since Princess Han left the Ming Dynasty, Chang Sining could not manage the affairs of the Zhuchai Society by herself, so he roped in Sun Ruowei as his assistant. During this time, Sun Ruowei had just tasted the taste of power and was very concerned about the affairs in the meeting. Take heart.

"I had a long chat with Xia Shangshu and the British Duke today, and finally decided to mobilize everyone's strength to jointly submit a letter to oppose the maritime ban. In this way, even the uncle must consider it carefully!"

Zhu Zhanhe replied truthfully.

"We also discussed it carefully today and finally decided to ask a few aunts to come forward and ask them to come to the palace tomorrow to persuade the uncle. I hope he can change his mind!"

Chang Sining also spoke at this time.

The "aunts" she referred to were actually the eldest princesses of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi's sisters, such as Princess Yongping, Princess Ancheng and Princess Xianning. They also played a large role in maritime trade, and today they are also They all came to the palace.

"I hope it will be useful, but today my third uncle went to the palace to persuade me, but it had no effect. I'm worried..."

Zhu Zhanhe frowned at the end. If Zhu Gaochi insisted on going his own way, just like Zhu Di did when he moved the capital to Beijing or went to the north, they would not be able to do anything to him.

After dinner, Zhu Zhanhe slept in Chang Sining's room at night.

After the couple's tenderness, Zhu Zhanhe stroked his wife's smooth skin and suddenly said: "Si Ning, after my father and my mother come back for the funeral this time, you can take your children and go to Tianzhu with them!"

Chang Sining did not show any surprise after hearing this, but quickly asked: "Will sister Ruowei go?"

"Of course. You all go to Tianzhu. I'll stay in Daming to wrap things up. I'll probably meet you guys soon."

Zhu Zhanhe replied.

"Then let Ruowei take the child and leave. I'll stay with my husband."

Chang Sining shook her head and said that she was worried about leaving Zhu Zhanhe alone in the Ming Dynasty. Although in theory there could be no danger, she still wanted to accompany her husband.

"This... okay, let's go together then."

Zhu Zhanhe didn't insist. He knew what Chang Sining was thinking. Husband and wife were one, and she didn't want to be separated from him.

"Husband, if we all leave, what will Daming do? How will we keep in touch in the future?"

Chang Sining suddenly asked at this time.

Although many businesses of the Han Palace have been transferred to Tianzhu, there are still many things that cannot be taken away, such as personal connections, Zhuchai will definitely not be able to bring them with him, and will need to be handed over to others to take charge of it. Of course Zhuchai will Sea trade business requires frequent contact with Tianzhu, so Chang Sining can still exert some influence on Zhuchai.

"Whether it is uncle or eldest brother, after they ascend the throne, I am afraid they will not be as tolerant to us as Grandpa Huang, so many things in Ming Dynasty can only be put aside temporarily." Zhu Zhanhe sighed.

Sometimes life is like this, you have to let it go. Although you are not willing to do so, there is nothing you can do about it.

Chang Sining also felt Zhu Zhanhe's helplessness, so she didn't say anything more, but gently hugged her husband's arm.

That night, Zhu Zhanhe was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by the maid outside, saying that someone from the palace was coming.

This made Zhu Zhanhe jump up. It was definitely not an ordinary thing for someone to come to the palace suddenly in the middle of the night.

So he got dressed as quickly as possible, and then followed the eunuch who delivered the message into the palace quickly.

It was just past midnight, when the curfew in Beijing was at its strictest, and the streets were quiet. Except for the patrolling Beijing camp, not a single person could be seen.

The carriage was lit with lanterns from the Han Palace, which allowed the carriage to travel unimpeded even during the curfew. The groom did not have to worry about bumping into anyone. He drove the carriage very fast all the way and arrived in front of the palace gate very quickly.

What Zhu Zhanhe didn't expect was that Xia Yuanji was waiting in front of the palace gate himself.

When he saw Zhu Zhanhe's carriage, Xia Yuanji took a few steps forward. Zhu Zhanhe immediately jumped out of the carriage, and then Xia Yuanji grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the palace.

"Xia Shangshu, what happened?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly had a bad feeling, so he frowned and asked Xia Yuanji.

"Your Majesty, please stop asking questions now. Let's talk after we enter the palace!"

Xia Yuanji lowered his voice and then quickened his pace.

When Zhu Zhanhe heard this, his heart sank again. Even Xia Yuanji was so cautious. Could it be that that thing really happened?
Xia Yuanji took Zhu Zhanhe straight into the harem. Instead of going to Wuying Hall, he went directly to Zhu Gaochi's bedroom.

When Zhu Zhanhe entered the Qianqing Palace, he saw Queen Zhang sitting there with a pale face. Jian Yi and Yang Rong were standing next to them. Together with Xia Yuanji, it could be said that half of the cabinet was there. Here, only Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong are not present.

"Your Majesty Zhu Zhanhe paid a visit to the Queen. Did something happen to my uncle?"

Zhu Zhanhe quickly stepped forward to salute Queen Zhang, and then asked directly. Now he was sure that something was definitely wrong with Zhu Gaochi, otherwise Xia Yuanji, the others, and Queen Zhang would not be here.

"Zhan He, my aunt has been somewhat prejudiced against you before, but you must help my aunt this time!"

As soon as Queen Zhang saw Zhu Zhanhe, she immediately cried out with tears in her eyes.

"Auntie, uncle...what happened to him?"

Zhu Zhanhe's face turned pale at this time, and he already had a very bad premonition in his heart.

At this time, Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi and Yang Rong, who were standing next to him, looked at each other, and then finally said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he...he has passed away!"

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe only felt a "buzzing~" sound in his head, and his eyesight went black for a while. His body swayed, but he finally managed not to fall.

Although Zhu Gaochi was rebellious and did many wrong things during this period, Zhu Zhanhe also thought about hoping that Zhu Gaochi could die as young as in history, but when it really happened, he still couldn't believe it.
