278 Eat alive
What is the body of Emperor Hongwu, no one can know better than Hu Shanwei, eighty percent of the oil is exhausted, and the light is just back to shine, just like Queen Ma back then. But if the emperor dies, where should I go?
Hu Shanwei has a prominent position in the court, and he is not allowed to stretch out the hand of Concubine Lu in the East Palace to the court, Concubine Lu hates her to the core, and she will definitely get rid of her in the future......
Just when Hu Shanwei felt confused about the road ahead, the concubine Ma of the Eastern Palace's imperial grandson found her. Hu Shanwei saw hope because of this, no matter how powerful Concubine Lu is, the future queen is Ma after all. Therefore, although the positions of the two are different, they seek common ground while reserving differences, and Ma and Hu Shanwei secretly formed an alliance to contain Concubine Lu together.
Just as the vassal kings were about to leave Beijing, Emperor Hongwu fell ill again, and this time, he was unable to get up from his sickbed after he fell.
The emperor was critically ill, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen was in charge of the country, and the vassal kings did their filial piety every day in front of the sickbed.
In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, the small lotus showed sharp corners in the early summer, at night, the palace was brightly lit, Emperor Hongwu had been asleep for three days and three nights, Hu Shanwei used a goose feather to test the snort of Emperor Hongwu, and the goose feathers moved slightly.
Emperor Hongwu slowly opened his eyes, and Hu Shanwei was overjoyed, "The emperor is awake!" “
In the dormitory, there were more than 100 dragon sons and grandsons, kneeling around the dragon bed, Emperor Hongwu signaled Hu Shanwei to help him up, looked deeply at these descendants, and asked: "Why don't you see Da Lang, Erlang and San Lang?" “
Everyone was stunned: Is the emperor sick and confused? The crown prince Zhu Biao died of illness, the second prince Qin Wang Zhu Fan committed suicide and martyrdom, and the third prince Jin Wang Zhu Li forced the palace to commit suicide.
Without waiting for Hu Shanwei to explain and remind, Emperor Hongwu rubbed his temples, "Oh, remember, the three of them went first and went down to accompany my queen." Shiro, now that you are my eldest son, you all step aside, and I have something to say to Shiro. “
Everyone was shocked, especially the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen, the imperial grandfather was about to die, but before he died, he asked the fourth emperor uncle to stay alone, is it ......
Emperor Hongwu's face was gloomy, "Why didn't my words work?" “
Hu Shanwei hurriedly stood up and said, "Please follow me to the side hall first and wait for the summons." “
Wu pressed a group of people to leave the dormitory silently, without saying a word.
Zhu Di knelt down and bowed, "Father, you have to take care of your body." “
"Come here, sit down beside me." Emperor Hongwu raised his hand, "I'm dazzled, I can't see clearly from a distance." “
Zhu Di sat on the dragon couch, and since he became an adult, there has never been such a close time between father and son.
Emperor Hongwu looked at his son, "When your second eldest Zhu Gaoxu first came to the palace to see me, I thought it was you, I called him Shilang, but he didn't answer, and said, 'Your Majesty, you called me wrong, I'm Erlang'." “
Zhu Di said: "The bear child is not sensible, he can't speak, he is spoiled by his son, and his father forgives him." “
Emperor Hongwu shook his head, "Our old Zhu family's Erlang should have this kind of courage. Zhu Gaoxu is almost exactly the same as you when you were a teenager, full of vigor and vigor, and when you go to that station, it is like a flag, which makes people unable to take their eyes off, and at a glance, tens of millions of people can recognize it. “
"Shiro." Emperor Hongwu patted Zhu Di on the shoulder, "I have more than twenty sons, you are the flagpole, the son I am most proud of." “
When he was in his forties, Zhu Di heard his father's praise for the first time!
For a while, Zhu Di even felt that the sentence "You are the flagpole, the son I am most proud of" was just an illusion.
Father and son, each son wants to be appreciated and recognized by his father. Zhu Di is no exception, even if he has many contradictions with his father, this belated praise is also precious to him.
Zhu Di's shoulders trembled, and a stream of heat seemed to be about to burst out, but fortunately, when others reached middle age, they were full of self-cultivation, endured it, and forced the tears back, my father was still alive, and this was not the time to cry.
Emperor Hongwu said with great interest about his grandson Zhu Gaoxu, "I asked your Erlang, what skills did you learn in Beiping?" Xu'er said that I am not as good as my eldest brother in reading, but my art of war and martial arts are stronger than my eldest brother. I thought to myself, isn't this just the same as Shiro you, so I ordered a few guards in the palace to compete with Xu'er. When I asked him how he felt, guess what he said? “
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhu Di said embarrassedly: "There is no one who can fight." “
This is the mantra of the second son, and everyone in Yanwangfu knows it.
Emperor Hongwu laughed and said: "Yes, this is the sentence, it is exactly the same as when you were a teenager." I hadn't ascended the throne at that time, the world was in turmoil, I was busy fighting in the north and south, and I didn't have time to care about you sons, you liked to dance and play with swords since you were a child, and you grew up in the barracks with me, and you learned one and a half moves, so you showed off looking for someone to compete, and if you win, you just won, once you lose, you go back to practice hard, thinking about how to crack the opponent's moves, and you must win it back the next day. ”
Zhu Di was slightly surprised, "Father knows the days of the military camp when his son was a teenager?" ”
Emperor Hongwu nodded, "Although I don't have time to teach you and grow up with you, I have always sent people to follow you and record what you are doing every day. You are now also a father of six, and you should understand my helplessness as a father back then. ”
"Being on the battlefield, I have always been concerned about the children, I want to know their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but because I am always fighting outside, I have too little time with them, the children respect you and love you, but they can't really communicate with you, and you are afraid that you will get used to them and get used to bad things, so you have been treating them as a strict father, right?"
Emperor Hongwu said that Zhu Di's heart went up, he seemed to have found a confidant, and nodded again and again, "What my father said is very true, the daughters are just that, the girls should be more pampered, and they want the stars and the moon to give them, the daughter of our old Zhu family is the proud daughter of the sky, and it doesn't matter how much favor she has." But the sons are different, and the sons must be self-reliant, because in the future they will bear the burden of defending the family and the country
Ren, so even if you are reluctant, you must be ruthless and strict with them. “
Emperor Hongwu said: "Yes, they fell and were injured during training, you are actually very distressed, and you really want to be like their mother, hug, kiss, and comfort, but when the words come to their mouths, or their hands are stretched out, they can't help but shrink back, and teach them to get up by themselves with a cold face, or scold them for being stupid, if on the battlefield, every mistake they make is to find death." ”
Zhu Di was deeply touched by his father's words, "Yes, Erchen understands what his father means, as a father, there are many last resorts, and many cold words are actually trying to protect them, hoping that they will have the ability to stand on their own feet in the future and be worthy of the responsibilities on their shoulders." ”
Emperor Hongwu sighed, "Actually, whether you are good or Xu'er, your father and son's competitive temperament is with me, as the male of the Ming imperial family, we have no choice but to move forward bravely." ”
Zhu Di nodded and said: "Yes, Erchen wants to guard the gateway of Yandi, and there is no way out, so he must move forward." “
Emperor Hongwu patted Zhu Di's strong chest, "Actually, you were not competitive when you were young for yourself, your biological mother Concubine Shuo died early, Wulang Hu'er was ignorant, you want to protect your younger brother, and you want me to see your ability, so you have been trying to show yourself desperately, to be a good son, a good brother, and a good prince." ”
"Father-" Zhu Di looked at Emperor Hongwu excitedly, forgetting for the first time that he should call his father.
Emperor Hongwu sighed: "I didn't expect it, in fact, I have always known your thoughts, and you have always occupied a place in my heart. ”
Maybe it is a person who is about to die, and his words are also good. Emperor Hongwu made an unprecedented push, saying that Zhu Di's heart softened, it is true that his father had done many wrong things that God was angry about, and even sixteen years ago, Xu Miaoyi drove Yanwangfu to the north to take up the domain only three days after giving birth.
But now Zhu Di looked at his white-haired old father, thinking that his father had also secretly paid attention to and cared for himself in the way of a strict father when he was young, just as he cares about Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu's two sons now, Zhu Di suddenly felt that he could forgive his father for what he had done before.
As a son.
In any case, his father finally agreed to his marriage to Xu Miaoyi, and after he and Xu Miaoyi went out of the domain to Fengyang without authorization and committed the felony of complicity and rebellion, they acquiesced in Ji Gang's practice of calming things down and calming down the incident, so that Donggong did not dare to make any more moths.
Zhu Di felt that no matter what his father had done before, his father still loved his son in his heart.
"Father." Zhu Di held Emperor Hongwu's hand.
Emperor Hongwu tried his best to shake it back, although he didn't have any strength, but this gentle grip was enough to shatter the defense that Zhu Di had accumulated in his heart for more than 20 years.
Knowing that his son is not as good as his father, Emperor Hongwu smiled and said: "I know that the East Palace has prejudices against you, and you also have grievances against the East Palace. But it doesn't matter, I have thought of a foolproof strategy, you each take a step back, and the uncle and nephew can get back together, so as to stabilize my Ming dynasty. Hu Shanwei asked them all to come in, together with several princes and princesses, as well as officials from the six ministries, I wanted to make an edict. ”
Hu Shanwei led a group of people to come in and bow down. Emperor Hongwu beckoned to Zhu Yunwen, "Yunwen, come here." ”
Zhu Yunwen walked over and knelt beside Zhu Di. Emperor Hongwu folded the hands of his uncle and nephew together, "I am going to accompany the queen, and the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you juniors to guard." Yun Wei, you are the grandson of the emperor, after I leave, you will inherit the throne, there is no trivial matter in the country, you must be diligent and love the people, and you must not slack off. ”
Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed in his heart, it turned out that the imperial grandfather saw the fourth emperor uncle in private, not to change the position of the prince, although he thought so, his face was sad and unbearable, "Grandpa Huang, the grandson will definitely live up to expectations." ”
Emperor Hongwu said: "Yun Wei, your four imperial uncles, and more than 20 other imperial uncles are the cornerstone of guarding the Ming Dynasty, they guard the Quartet for you, and they work hard, but there are traitors in the court to stir up trouble, dividing the flesh and blood of the world, resulting in some misunderstandings between you and the imperial uncles." ”
"We are all a family, the affairs of the Zhu family, it is not the turn of outsiders to point fingers, I want you to swear, no matter how outsiders provoke, you must firmly believe in the imperial uncles, and will never do anything that harms the interests and dignity of the imperial uncle."
Zhu Yunwen immediately raised his hand and swore, "My grandson swears that in the future, I will firmly believe in the emperor's uncles, and I will never be provoked by others to do things that kill each other, if I violate the oath, I will abdicate and give way to the virtuous, cut off my children and grandchildren, and die without a place to be buried!" ”
The throne, the heirs, and even death are willing to take out and swear poison. Emperor Hongwu felt that Zhu Yunwen's oath came from the heart and would never break his oath.
Emperor Hongwu nodded with satisfaction, "I believe in Yun Wei's promise. You imperial uncles also have to swear, Shiro, you are the oldest, so take your younger brothers and swear together. ”
and his father have released their suspicions, not to mention that Zhu Yunwen has already sworn a poisonous oath, Zhu Di heard this, and immediately raised his hand and said: "The sons obey the order, the sons swear to guard the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty side by side with their younger brothers, and always be loyal to the emperor." ”
"Protect the Ming Dynasty and be loyal to the emperor!" King Zhou, King Dai and other vassal kings followed King Yan and swore an oath.
Emperor Hongwu said: "Okay, very good, our Zhu family is united, and the Ming Dynasty can be stable." Now that you are thousands of miles apart, even if you are connected by blood, the love of the next generation will inevitably be divided, Shiro, leave your Chi'er, Xu'er, and your eldest daughter Yong'an County Lord in the capital. The two sons are studying and practicing martial arts in the capital, and the lord of Yong'an has Yun Wei as the master to give marriage, and he will not wronged her. ”
"Father!" Zhu Di looked at Emperor Hongwu in disbelief, he had just taken off all his defenses, and then he was kicked into the pit by his father unexpectedly!
Then, bury alive.
Without waiting for the imperial uncle to raise objections, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said: "Rest assured, the imperial grandfather can rest assured that his grandson will make an exception in the future to make the princess the princess, select the concubine according to the specifications of the princess, give the dowry, and enjoy the wealth forever." ”
At this time, Xu Miaoyi didn't listen to what Zhu Yunwen was saying, and when she heard that Emperor Hongwu was going to detain her three children as hostages in the capital, she was already on the verge of collapse, and just as she was about to refute it, the younger daughter-in-law on the side, Princess Zhou, Feng Shi, covered her mouth, and the two younger sisters, Princess Dai and Princess An, also knelt beside her left and right, pressing her shoulders stiffly, not allowing her to move.
Feng's hand was bitten out of blood by Xu Miaoyi, and the pain was unbearable, but he still refused to let go, Feng whispered in Miaoyi's ear: "The emperor is dying, you must not argue with him impulsively!" Otherwise, you will be immediately discarded for unfilial reasons! Lose the position of Princess Yan! Isn't it just the emperor's agitation plan? You have to hold back! Even if you vomit blood, you have to hold on! 166 Reading Network
