"Doctor Shi, he's dead!"

Zhu Zhen looked slightly surprised.

"When did it happen?"

"Just the day before yesterday."

The entourage said: "It seems that the climate has caused the cold..."

This way of death is really random.

Zhu Zhen thought to himself.

The doctor at Tai Hospital contracted the cold and died.

Having said that.

Recently, a lot of the imperial doctors around my father have died.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Zhen became suspicious. Could it be that there was something wrong with his father's body?

"Don't mention this matter again, and don't ask any more questions."

He explained.

"yes."

Zhu Zhen pretended that nothing happened, but secretly made a note in his heart to start paying attention...

He thought carefully.

In fact, my father is not too radical and irrational, but this time it was extremely abnormal.

Even he did not suggest going into military force at the beginning, but his father strongly advocated for it.

This is also an abnormality.

If there is something wrong with the father's body, then it seems to be able to explain all this...

Zhu Zhen thought to himself.

right!

That’s it!

My father is the Emperor Wu. He is better at military matters, so why choose me?

The successor he originally selected was the second emperor brother.

My father is worried that he will not be able to sustain it, or even be able to sustain it until the end of this war...

In an instant, Zhu Zhen figured everything out.

From this point of view, the best result is that after the war with Daning is over, I will naturally inherit the unification and achieve great achievements and become the emperor of the unification!

Zhu Zhen knew it very well.

His position as prince is not stable.

The courtiers are most supportive of the Second Emperor Brother, but it seems that the Second Emperor Brother is not in good health either...

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen frowned with a hint of gloom.

He also has some physical problems.

In his early years, while participating in a military competition to compete for the title of God of War, he was accidentally injured. In fact, it was only a minor injury, but his male ability gradually weakened until he lost it...

He dared not speak out.

A prince who is infertile can never become emperor.

Actually it's nothing.

It is not that he has no heirs. When he was still a prince in his early years, he had three sons and one daughter.

But this kind of thing should never be said.

He married Lu Qiling not because he became the crown prince of the East Palace, but just to celebrate and hope to cure his illness.

But still can’t do it!

He could only say that he was busy with military and government affairs and often did not return to his home, leaving Lu Qiling as a widow...

For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly remembered what Emperor Yuanwu said to him.

Damn it!

Zhu Zhen shook off the distracting thoughts in his heart.

Prepare for war!

Destroy Daning and kill Yuanwu!

Otherwise it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my heart!

The Qingyang Alliance is over.

A few days after Jichuan left, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Zhu Wenqi drove back to Beijing, accompanied by Prince Zhu Zhen.

The recruitment has not been completed yet, there is still a big gap, and it must be completed within half a year, so as to have more time for training.

At this time, recruitment was already quite difficult. Normal recruitment could not recruit people at all, so the only option was to use a more radical method, that is, forced recruitment!

And because Zhu Wen temporarily revolted and expanded another legion, this means that 300,000 more people will be recruited than originally planned!

Supporting military expenditures will increase. Where will this manpower, material and financial resources come from?

All the officials in the imperial court were in a state of panic!

As the second son of the emperor who is in charge of this matter and in charge of logistics, King Yong Zhu Ji is even more burdened!

Zhu Wen handed over the recruitment training to Zhu Zhen, and handed over government and military supplies to Zhu Ji.

You can figure this out.

Zhu Ji tried his best.

Balance all parties, still strive to develop people's livelihood and specialize in government affairs despite the massive recruitment.

But the hole was too big and he still couldn't fill it up...

Suburbs of Beijing, Imperial Mausoleum.

Zhu Ji came here again. Compared with the chaos outside, the silence here was like a paradise...

"Who said it was unfortunate to be demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum, but now it seems to be the greatest blessing."

Zhu Ji looked at his fourth brother, King Qi Zhu Zhen, with envy in his eyes.

He came to the imperial mausoleum several times just to talk to Zhu Zhen.

"Brother Er Huang, you should pay more attention to your health."

Zhu Zhen's eyes were full of worry.

The second emperor's brother looked worse than he had seen two months ago. His complexion was sallow, his eye circles were slightly dark, his figure was thin, he was extremely tired, and he seemed to have lost all energy.

"You can't save this country. Who do you think you are?"

Zhu Zhen scolded: "Your body collapsed, who is the happiest?"

"Isn't he still a prince?"

He stood up, really worried.

Are there not many people who die from overwork and illness?

"Let it go!"

Zhu Zhen comforted him.

He knew that with the prestige of the second emperor brother, Zhu Zhen would not dare to do anything even if he was content to be a free king.

Now, I can't let go.

"Fourth brother, the emperor is really tired!"

Zhu Ji sighed lowly.

"I always thought I could sort out all government affairs and calculate all accounts, but now I can't figure it out..."

"Under the massive conscription, people's livelihood was ruined, and people's resentment boiled. If they couldn't be collected, they were forced to levy it. The corvee taxes were increasing all the time. Everything made way for conscription. Refugees could be seen everywhere. What's even more ironic is that Beilin Province, which was originally Daliang, was ceded to

After arriving in Daning, the Liang people did not want to escape, but moved there!"

"Da Ning's benevolent government has attracted the people of Liang to yearn for it. They would rather abandon their ancestral property and migrate. Think about what the situation is now...the people are in dire straits!"

Zhu Ji recounted.

I feel exhausted!

"Now we need to expand another corps. Even if Wei Guoguo bears most of the food and military supplies, there is still a big gap. Do you know what is even more excessive?"

"They want to drive our refugees to enemy countries!"
