There was a conflict between Prince Xing's Mansion and Prince Xiang's Mansion, and Zhu Hao could still make a fortune from it. This was a situation that he had not expected in advance.
Prince Xiang's Mansion was very keen on making money through business. In addition, Pang Qian was old and was about to retire from the Prince's Mansion. His interest in making money was much stronger than ordinary people, so the business was settled after a few visits.
As for opening up commercial ports and expanding business in Xiangyang Mansion, Zhu Hao does not need to do it himself. He can just leave it to shopkeeper Ma as an experienced businessman. With the resources of Prince Xiang Mansion and the backing of Prince Xing Mansion... these merchants can stand up.
Stick, do things with great fanfare.
In the past, when doing business in Anlu, the waist was straighter than in other places, and there was no need to look up to the government all the time.
The officials in Xiangyang and Anlu were naturally worried about this, but merchants were always protected by the two princes, which made it very difficult... When there was a dispute over interests between local vassals and the officials, the princes always had the initiative.
It's mid-March in the blink of an eye.
News of the imperial examination came back, and as Zhu Hao expected, Gongsun Yi failed the exam and was on his way home.
Different from failing in the provincial examination, for Gongsun Yi, even if he failed in the proficiency test, he had crossed over to the gentry class. But for those who are familiar with Gongsun Yi, such as Tang Yin, they still have to pretend to be regretful when mentioning it, but
But I know it in my heart... If you Gongsun Yi can pass the Jinshi examination, it will be unless God is blind, or you can ask Zhu Hao to help you see clearly.
March 20th.
An unusual guest came to Prince Xing's Mansion. Everyone in the Prince's Mansion received him warmly and seemed very solemn.
After making inquiries, Zhu Hao learned that this was an imperial physician sent by the emperor to come to Anlu specifically to diagnose and treat Prince Xing's illness.
After noon, Zhu Hao saw Tang Yin. After asking him in detail, he saw that Tang Yin's face was full of emotion: "... King Xing is suffering from a chronic disease. Although the imperial doctor made a diagnosis and prescribed a medicine, according to his intention,
I'm afraid it won't be cured, so I can only rest in peace."
The so-called phlegm, also known as pulmonary tract, is usually a general term for a variety of lung diseases, such as emphysema, which can cause symptoms such as lung enlargement. After all, neither traditional Chinese nor Western medicine has opened the chest these days.
The ability to diagnose can only be judged by the various manifestations of the patient.
Basically, Zhu Hao has determined that Zhu Youji's dying disease is lung cancer.
"Have you ever asked about the cause of the disease?"
Zhu Hao asked.
Tang Yin shook his head: "I'm not sure. If the medicine doesn't work, the situation will continue to worsen. I'm afraid your words will be true...that is, it will happen in the past two years."
Zhu Hao nodded in understanding.
As far as he knew, although Zhu Youqi seemed to be talking and doing everything normally, like all the emperors and vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youqi had a problem. He believed in Taoism and had taken some so-called body-building pills.
…
This cannot be blamed on Zhu Youqi's superstition. In the past few years, he has always wanted to have more sons. After the death of his eldest son, he did not have his son Zhu Si until he was over 30 years old. Later, he gave birth to a daughter...
Zhu Youyi was paranoid about giving birth to a son. When he found that his health was not good, he naturally relied on elixirs to supplement his health.
These days, the reason why elixirs are valued by emperors, lords and the powerful class is that their main function is not to prolong life, but to provide a good bed. When you have power and money and find that there are a lot of beauties around you but you can't do it in time, you always have to
Find a way to solve it, and many pills have strong medicinal properties due to excessive heavy metals, and they can have immediate effects in a short period of time, so...
There are all kinds of sequelae.
"After Prince Xing learned about his condition, he didn't explain anything, right?" Zhu Hao asked again.
Tang Yin sighed helplessly: "What can I explain? It's not yet time to explain the funeral... But it is expected that King Xing was mentally prepared for the illness. The imperial doctor's face was calm when he told the inside story. He just made people treat the imperial doctor and his servants well.
, it is estimated that the imperial doctor will stay locally for a while to see how King Xing’s body is recovering before deciding when to return to Beijing.”
Zhu Hao wanted to say that it didn't matter whether it was cured or not.
These days there is no surgery, no radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc., and there are no targeted drugs. Just relying on recuperation... is not much different from slowly waiting to die, but it is not that there are no cases of recovery, but the chance is very slim, almost
It only appears in various rare anecdotes or hearsay.
When people get cancer these days, people just have to accept their fate and enjoy the rest of their days.
"Zhu Hao, you ask so many questions, are you aware of King Xing's condition a long time ago? What you said to me earlier must have been a conclusion made after you knew it well, right?" Tang Yin asked.
Zhu Hao shook his head: "It's just a guess."
Tang Yindao: "Actually, I suspected earlier that there might be someone who was harmful to King Xing, but you knew about it and didn't report it. Now it seems that I'm overly concerned."
Zhu Hao asked with a smile: "You think that I will help others poison King Xing, so you try to move the family out of Anlu, are you afraid that you will be implicated?"
"this……"
Tang Yin felt a little embarrassed after being spoken to.
"Sir, you speak frankly because you are familiar with me, and I have nothing to hide because I trust you. Don't take it personally... Now it is better to think about what I analyzed before, and it is more important to teach the prince well."
Zhu Hao said.
Tang Yin nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "I guess that after the imperial doctor returns to the capital, he will truthfully report Prince Xing's condition. In the past two years, the imperial court will have much less pressure on Prince Xing's palace, but maybe it will be like you
As expected, in a few years... the situation will be hard to say."
Zhu Haodao: "You want to say that, as I suspected, after King Xing died of illness, the crown prince will be coerced by the court because of the lack of strong backing, right?"
"Um."
Tang Yin thought to himself, you are the one who dares to tell the truth.
"Well……"
Zhu Hao thought about his words. Since you think so, people in Prince Xing's Mansion may also think so.
The fact is that after Zhu Youqi's death, the royal family did not imprison Zhu Si or even make things difficult for him. Zhu Si successfully took over the throne. In fact, from beginning to end, the "crisis" in Prince Xing's Mansion came from
Caused by the insecure mood of being in a dangerous position.
Even though Empress Dowager Zhang had worried about the existence of Prince Xing's Mansion, because Emperor Zhengde was heartless, Zhu Houzhao never thought about how to suppress his uncle and cousin, so the court's vigilance against Prince Xing's Mansion was limited to monitoring and restricting its interactions with the court.
Official exchanges.
But for Zhu Hao, what he wanted was this inexplicable sense of crisis in Prince Xing's Mansion.
If King Xing could continue to teach Zhu Siyan by example and cultivate Zhu Si's awareness of crisis, then as his companion, he would not have to worry about exposing his own intentions.
Everyone in the palace is in danger. I should instill relevant thoughts into the prince and remind him to recognize the reality and be cautious, right? Even if the people in the palace know what I said and what I did, they can't blame me for it.
Alarmist, right?
"Don't tell the prince these things yet... you have been studying hard recently. When Fengyuan comes back, he will give lectures at the palace, so you don't have to teach them the scriptures at all."
Tang Yin rarely comes to the school recently, and Chu Yu is the one teaching. But Chu Yu is not a tough guy, and he also needs to rest. Sometimes Zhu Hao teaches. The whole palace has long been accustomed to this, and even Yuan Zonggao has not raised any objections.
Later, Chu Yu was happy to have half a day's leisure.
If Gongsun Yi comes back to teach... Zhu Hao thought to himself, I won't be even busier than now.
He just passed the exam and the ink in his belly is still the same as before. Thinking that he can change his appearance after getting the title of Juren, just dream!
…
…
Even if Zhu Hao and Tang Yin didn't tell him, it was impossible for Zhu Si not to know something about his father.
But the palace obviously did not explain to Zhu San and Zhu Si that even if their father was not terminally ill, he could still count down the days. Zhu San and Zhu Si could only treat their father as lying on the bed for a while and he would recover.
"Recently, my mother said that she would like my younger sister to come to the school and receive enlightenment from Mr. Tang."
Zhu Si seemed to have nothing to do that day, so he said to Zhu Hao during the break.
"Your sister?"
Jinghong on the side looked puzzled, and even glanced at Zhu San, meaning Zhu Si, besides this sister, do you have a younger sister?
Zhu Si has only one younger sister. She is six years old this year, and she has indeed reached the age of enlightenment. Perhaps there is Zhu San, a sister in the palace, who is the pioneer. Originally, Zhu San gave up studying last year and studied women's things instead, but this year
, the palace did not deprive her of the qualification to study, and she basically went to the school whenever she had the chance.
"Don't take advantage of my sister!"
When Zhu San spoke, he put his hands on his hips and looked like a tigress.
She is now eleven years old.
For girls, puberty comes early. Over the past year... her body has changed a lot. Not only has she grown in size, but her body has also become slimmer and slimmer.
Perhaps it was Zhu Youqi's illness that caused the palace to ignore the changes in her body, so that she can still attend classes with several men of the same age.
"Princess? Haha..."
Jinghong had a smile on his face, and his mockery was obvious.
Do you think I am so unambitious that I want to marry a princess? What kind of treasure do you think I am? I am going to take the imperial examination, so I will take advantage of your sister?
Several children attended classes together for three years and were classmates for three years.
As they grow older, several children become ignorant and know more or less things about men and women. They are no longer as innocent as before who only talked about how to play and never considered the defense between men and women.
Especially these days, men and women can get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen. If you really want to look into it carefully, including engagement and so on, they can already consider life-long events at this age.
Zhu San saw that Jinghong's face was not kind, and his nose and eyes were almost wrinkled together, so he asked sharply: "Xiao Jingzi, what do you mean?"
Zhu Hao said: "Jinghong, be polite to the princess, she may be someone you can't reach in the future."
Jinghong looked at Zhu Hao and was a little surprised.
It seems to be saying, you won't be so unambitious and want to take advantage of her and her sister, right?
Zhu Hao didn't want to explain too much.
You can't tell Jinghong that the person in front of you may not be a princess in the future, but a princess? Then he will not marry the princess, but Princess Shang... He will be a prince consort for nothing, but he will also have the opportunity to be promoted to a higher rank in the future.
of.
"Look at Zhu Hao, he is much more knowledgeable than you." Zhu San looked at Zhu Hao with a smile, "Xiao Haozi, if my sister comes to class, will you teach her?"
Zhu Hao ignored him.
Zhu Si rolled his eyes at her and said, "Sister, why are you talking to Mr. Zhu?"
Zhu San put his hands on his hips: "It's polite to say this... He is paying less and less attention to me now. It's time to let him know who the palace respects."
