Chapter 249 The emperor is critically ill, the two sages and Sun Xiao (a thousand months

Early the next morning, Xiaosheng ran to Zhu Zhanchen's residence and shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good."

Zhu Zhanzhen didn't like people interrupting his sleep the most. Xiaosheng had been with him for so long and naturally knew the rules. It was just that today was such a big deal that he couldn't tolerate these rules.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanzhen was woken up. He was a little angry and said with a bad look: "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, there is news from the palace. Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he... may... want..." Xiaosheng did not dare to say, but Zhu Zhanzhen guessed what he wanted to say.

"Whose message is coming?"

"It was sent by someone from the East Palace. Your Highness the Crown Prince summons you to enter the palace."

"Go and inform the princess of the county to freshen up and follow me into the palace as quickly as possible."

"Yes...yes."

Zhu Zhanyi frowned and thought deeply. He had just entered the palace last night and saw Zhu Di. Although Zhu Di was ill and looked weak, in general, the imperial doctor said that he had caught a cold due to sweating in the winter and that he would be fine after two days of rest.

It is impossible for the imperial doctor to make fun of the emperor's condition. After all, this is going to end his head. He must be very cautious. If he is not sure that there is no problem, he will not say it so easily.

Chen Xinyue got up early every day, dressed up a little and then followed Zhu Zhanzhen into the palace.

On the carriage, Chen Xinyue held Zhu Zhanzhen's hand: "Your Majesty, your majesty has his own destiny, you don't have to worry."

Zhu Di had just achieved great success and was about to leave Hexi?

After entering the entire palace, Zhu Zhanyong went straight to the emperor's palace under the leadership of the eunuchs. At this time, the prince and princess were already kneeling outside the palace, including Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong.

People coming from far and near come at different speeds.

"Zhan Zhen, come and kneel down quickly." The Crown Princess called him over.

The two knelt down quickly, and a group of people knelt in the cold wind and snow. The eunuchs and maids did not dare to step forward to hold umbrellas.

The six ministers hurriedly walked into Zhu Di's palace.

When Zhu Di was critically ill, these outsiders were allowed to visit, and his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren all had to stay outside. This is the sad thing about the royal family. Because the emperor is critically ill, it means that the struggle for the throne has begun. These are all in the whirlpool

people.

Depending on the distance from the palace, everyone arrived at different times. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui knelt beside them with their sons. Zhu Gaoxu specially knelt beside Zhu Gaochi.

In the middle of a snowstorm, everyone was kneeling with different thoughts. It was much more violent than this snowstorm.

The last person to arrive among the six ministers surprised Zhu Zhanyang. It was Chen Yun. During this period, Chen Yun was promoted from the ceremonial doctor of the Ministry of Rites to the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. Because the minister of rites had already taken office and had not yet been appointed, Zhu Di asked him to go first.

Doing errands at the same time is also a way to see his abilities.

The Ming Dynasty rarely allowed such a young person to be appointed to the post of six ministers. Chen Yun is currently serving as a concurrent minister because there is no one above him. However, it can also be seen that he has won Zhu Di's heart. He is the most popular rising star in the officialdom in the past two years.

.

The last time he helped Zhu Di sue Zhu Zhanzhen, he received a beating, which also allowed him to be promoted to the position of left minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The cabinet and the Sixth Department were in the room, and people outside didn't know what was going on inside.

Zhu Zhanzhen looked at Chen Xinyue distressedly. Chen Xinyue looked delicate and delicate, and he was afraid that she would freeze. However, Chen Xinyue was not that kind of brainless little girl. As the princess of the Pearl River County, she knew that she could not give Zhu Zhan anything at this time.

If you want to cause trouble, you don't have to say anything or express your opinion, but it must be done in a manner consistent with filial piety.

People were freezing from morning to night, and they had been hungry all day. Not to mention the women, the men almost couldn't stand it anymore, and the prince's health was not good to begin with.

When night fell, the eunuch lit the lamp, the door of the palace finally opened, and the six officials slowly walked out. The eunuchs walked to the kneeling princes and grandsons one by one and helped them up.

"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings. Your Highnesses' filial piety is moved to heaven and earth. Your Majesty's dragon body is fine. Your Majesty said: Your virtuous son, Sun Xiao, Your Majesty is very pleased. Today's dinner will be kept in the palace. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will host a family banquet for Your Majesty. Except for Prince Zhao, everyone will

Let’s all disperse.”

Everyone looked at Zhu Gaosui, and Zhu Gaosui himself looked puzzled.

"Prince Zhao, your Majesty is waiting for you." The eunuch urged, and Zhu Gaosui smiled: "Eldest brother, second brother, you eat first, I will come later."

Everyone stood up, Zhu Di turned the corner, and the prince also restored his smile: "Gao Xu, let's go, let's have a meal together. It's rare for everyone to be here together."

"Brother, please go first." Zhu Gaoxu was unusually respectful.

After Zhu Zhanzhen left, he looked back and saw that the stern palace was like a livid mountain, blocking everything.

In the palace, Zhu Di was still lying on the bed, his face turned pale. He had just walked away from the gate of hell. Zhu Di seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight. The heroic Yongle Emperor was now very old.

Zhu Gaosui knelt down not far from Zhu Di's bed with a plop: "Father, father..." Tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.

"Why are you howling?" Zhu Di's voice was obviously weak when he spoke: "I am not dead."

Zhu Gaosui hurriedly wiped his tears and slapped himself twice: "It's all my fault, I blame you. It's unlucky for you to cry."

The old eunuch hurriedly stopped Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Di forced out a rare smile: "I still have some conscience. If I shed a few tears, there is always some true feelings."

"My father, the emperor, and my sons are the most filial to you."

"This sentence is a little less sincere."

Zhu Gaosui was speechless.

Zhu Di waved: "Gao Sui, come here."

Zhu Gaosui arrived in front of Zhu Di in small steps.

"Gao Sui, you three brothers, your mother loves you the most. You have made mistakes with your brothers since you were a child. Only your brother has never been punished. You can only get a few scoldings. Fortunately, you are also a person who strives for success. You are not punished.

Develop that spoiled habit and be cautious in doing things, ahem."

"Father, please rest first."

"I have a question to ask you, please answer it truthfully."

"Father, please tell me."

"Of your two brothers, who do you think is better as emperor?"

Zhu Gaosui's mind was racing rapidly as to how to answer Zhu Di's question.

"Father, I don't know how to answer this question." Zhu Gaosui showed the attitude of his youngest son.

"Then what do you think you should do?"

As soon as Zhu Di asked this question, the old eunuchs next to him began to sweat. No matter how they answered this kind of question, they seemed wrong.

"My son feels that it is best for my father to be in front of me. My father is so blessed that the most important thing is to take good care of him as soon as possible."

Zhu Di smiled lightly and reached out to touch Zhu Gaosui's head: "Unknowingly, you are also a father. I always thought that you were the little kid with a wooden sword, following your two brothers, Gao

Xu is naughty and often has conflicts with Gao Chi. You always stand aside with a wooden sword and dare not do anything. When you get older, you always think of the past."

Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Di, who was in a bad mood, and said in a deep voice: "Father, my son still has the wooden sword he had when he was a child. Occasionally, when he misses his mother, he will take it out and look at it. It was made by his mother herself."

Zhu Di patted his shoulder: "Your mother loves you the most. Go ahead and have a good meal with Gao Chi, Gao Xu and the children. I heard them say today that you have been kneeling all day, and they are all mine."

Good children and grandchildren.”

"My son, please retire. Father, please have a good rest."

After Zhu Gaosui left, the old eunuch came forward and said: "Your Majesty, King Zhao is really filial."

Zhu Di looked up at the roof: "When Huang Kao passed away, I wanted to return to Beijing to fulfill my filial piety, but was stopped. After all, these children still have some filial piety. If they have no emotions, they are no different from animals."

"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and you will definitely get better as soon as possible."

"My body, as the imperial doctor said just now, although I have come back after being away from hell for a while, my body is declining after all." After all, things are not the same as before, and it is time to prepare something.

He is a rebel, but no one wants their children and grandchildren to go to war.



The royal family banquet was very lively. The prince had many children, and Zhu Gaojiu had many sons. When Zhu Gaosui arrived, he happened to see Zhu Gaojiu drinking wine from the prince.

"Brother, you have to drink this glass of wine. I have been kneeling in the wind and snow all day. I want to drink a glass of wine to dispel the cold and warm up my body."

"Brother, you have to drink this glass of wine too. It's been a long time since we brothers had a glass of wine together. If you don't drink, you won't give me face."

"Brother, you still have to drink this glass of wine. I've been in that ungrateful place in the northwest for so long, and you don't even want to treat me to a meal and a glass of wine when I come back. If you don't drink, you're looking down on me."

Zhu Gaojiu laughed loudly and toasted Zhu Gaochi. The princess didn't care, because everyone knew that Zhu Gaojiu drank a lot. Although the prince didn't drink much, he still drank better than Zhu Gaoji. Zhu Gaojiu would not overestimate his ability and want to drink.

The prince got drunk.

"Gao Sui, come quickly. Your favorite roast duck is prepared here for you. If you don't come, you will be cold." Zhu Pangpang greeted Zhu Gaosui when he saw him coming.

"Here we come." Zhu Gaosui sat down with a smile on his face.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was blushing, put his arms around his shoulders and asked: "Lao San, why did the old man call you?"

"My father asked me if I still have the wooden sword that my mother made."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were both stunned when they heard this, as if they had been punched in the heart.

"Haha, how can I not keep the wooden sword that my mother made, and my wife won't let her touch it."

The three of them laughed loudly, as if today's family banquet was particularly enjoyable. The three of them were relieved, and they were brothers and sisters, and it was a harmonious scene.

Today Zhu Di has recovered. If he had not recovered, it would have been a different situation. Brothers are not brothers, father and son are not father and son. This true and strong family relationship is like a small insect on a hanging thread, which may fall and be broken at any time.

But after tonight, everyone knows that this scene will never come back.

"Put the sweet dish on Gao Xu's side. Gao Xu likes sweet food."

"Zhanji was the most naughty when he was a child. The first time I hugged him, he peed all over me."

"Second brother, second brother, why is second brother asleep?"
