Zhu Houzhao was really angry, Wang Qiong and Wang Feng were both emperors, and they didn't cooperate with him to do things.

Civil officials are always like this, there are Shi Jue and Qiao Yu in the front, and Wang Qiong and Wang Hong in the back. The eunuchs and generals are obedient, but they always carry Zhu Houzhao behind their backs, leaving a mess to clean up.

"Your Majesty is still angry?" The imperial concubine asked with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao said depressedly: "I'm annoying that Wang Hong, I don't want to promote him, where will I put my face?" ”

The imperial concubine asked, "Since Wang Feng is unwilling to rise too fast, why don't you promote Wang Erlang's people?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was silent.

The imperial concubine asked again: "Your Majesty suspects Wang Erlang?" ”

"What do I doubt he did?" Zhu Houzhao is much more mature than before, and said with a smile, "Life in the world, everything has a picture." Either for wealth, or for power, or for name. Erlang's picture is a thousand years of meritorious deeds and a name in history, I suspect that no one will doubt him. ”

"Then why don't you use the minister he recommended?" The imperial concubine said curiously.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "You can't let him gain power too quickly, otherwise Yan'er won't be able to hold it down." When I ascended the throne, there were three teachers, who were so overwhelmed that in order to escape the eunuchs, I even deliberately connived at the eunuchs to make trouble with the three teachers. That Wang Erlang is even worse than my three teachers, and I am afraid that Yan'er will have to be obedient when he ascends the throne. You say, what if Yan'er also uses eunuchs indiscriminately? ”

The imperial concubine was stunned.

No one thought that the emperor was not afraid that Wang Yuan would be too powerful, but that the crown prince would ascend the throne in the future.

This kind of thinking is really out-of-the-box, and normal people can't figure it out at all.

Zhu Houzhao played with the jade ornaments and looked out the window: "I'm worried about Yan'er, and I will have a stiff relationship with Wang Erlang in the future, and I will force the teacher to be a master like that." ”

The imperial concubine suddenly smiled and said, "The concubine still thinks that Your Majesty is afraid that Wang Erlang will rebel." ”

"I'm not a faint king." Zhu Houzhao was also happy.

The Ming Dynasty had no soil for officials to rebel at all, and the civil and military generals would at most rely on the vassal king to rebel, and Zhu Houzhao would prevent Wang Yuan from rebelling if he had a problem with his brain.

The two of them laughed for a while, Zhu Houzhao was in a comfortable mood again, and suddenly got up and said, "Let's go, call Shangxuan'er, let's go feed the alpacas together." ”

Soon, the palace maid brought the princess Zhu Xuanzhen, and Zhu Houzhao accompanied his wife and daughter to the alpaca house.

Zhu Xuanzhen is holding a cat in his arms, and he is a descendant of the three heroes of civil engineering. She jumped all the way forward, and when she came to the alpaca house, she took the tender grass handed by the eunuch and beckoned: "Sheep, sheep, come quickly." ”

"Ahh......h

The grass mud horse came running happily, obviously a good friend of the princess, not only did not spit, but affectionately stretched out his head for the princess to touch.

"The sheep are so good." Zhu Xuanzhen giggled.

After eating a small bunch of tender grass, Zhu Houzhao also joined in the fun. As soon as he got closer, the alpaca began to squirt, and saliva splashed all over the emperor's chest.

"This beast is damned!" Zhu Houzhao scolded with a smile.

Zhu Xuanzhen said: "Father, the sheep is very well-behaved, and if you come to feed it often, it won't spit you." ”

Zhu Houzhao was full of old father's smile, and his mood was much calmer than before, so he stood by and watched his daughter feed the alpacas.

Suddenly, a eunuch rushed in and whispered a few words.

The attendant eunuch ran and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, there is a strong wind outside, I'm afraid there will be haze." ”

The imperial concubine said, "Your Majesty, go back to the leopard room to rest." ”

"Well, go back early." Zhu Houzhao is not reckless, he now knows how to maintain health.

The family of three paced away, and the wind became more and more rapid on the way, and it was already mixed with a little gravel.

The eunuch hurried to deliver the veil, and the emperor, concubine, and princess covered their faces so as not to inhale too much dust.

Anyone who has lived in the capital for a long time is already familiar with sandstorms.

Wu Chengen, the author of "Journey to the West", wrote an article about the sandstorm when he was waiting for a job assignment in Beijing more than 20 years later: "Yan Shi brought a face coat, rode a yellow horse, and the wind took off and the dust was full of Qumo. When he returned and dismounted, his nostrils were as black as smoke. People and horses and sand, rain over the mud and no saddle knees......"

In winter and spring, the veil has become a must-have for travel in the capital.

As soon as I returned to the leopard house, before I entered the house, I saw the sand and dust pouring in the sky, covering the sky like the end of the world.

The eunuch hurriedly opened the door, escorted the emperor, the concubine and the princess in, and sealed all the doors and windows to protect against the wind and sand.

"This haze is getting worse and worse." The imperial concubine complained.

Erlang said that if you want to cure the haze, you should be a variety of trees...... Tree...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! Zhu Houzhao suddenly coughed wildly.

The imperial concubine hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhu Houzhao and smoothed his back.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, maybe I sucked in some sand and dust and rested for a while...... Ahem, cough, cough, cough! ”

Zhu Houzhao only felt that his throat was extremely itchy, and he wanted to vomit out a foreign object sticking to his throat. He coughed more and more until he could not breathe, and he felt palpitations, as if his heart was about to stop.

As soon as his legs were weak, Zhu Houzhao fell.

"Your Majesty!" The imperial concubine was extremely flustered and held Zhu Houzhao to death.

"Emperor!" The attendant eunuch was frightened and panicked to help.

"Father, father, what's wrong with you?" The princess was so frightened that she cried.

After slowing down for a while, Zhu Houzhao was finally able to speak: "Just now, I almost died, and my chest was very stuffy. It's better now, it's fine, don't worry. ”

The attendant eunuch hurriedly said, "The slave and maid went to find the envoy of the Wu court." ”

The imperial concubine urged: "Go and come back quickly!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was helped to the inner room to rest, and the eunuch dared to open the door at any time. Only one crack was opened, and countless sand and dust penetrated, and the eunuch quickly went out with his mouth and nose covered, and rushed towards the Tai Hospital against the wind and sand.

After a long time, Wu Jie, who was covered in sand, finally arrived. He first shook the sand when he entered the house, and then brushed the sand and dust off the medical box, and then went to the bedroom to see the emperor.

After checking the pulse for a while, Wu Jie asked about the illness again, and after thinking carefully, he said, "Your Majesty's disease, lung qi deficiency...... It is also a blockage of the heart and veins, and the blood is thin...... This is...... It's ......"

"What is it? Say it! The imperial concubine said hurriedly.

Wu Jie frowned and said, "Your Majesty's lung disease has turned to the heart. ”

Zhu Houzhao had fully recovered at this time, but he was a little short of breath, he actually looked calm and asked, "Is my time running out?" ”

Wu Jie comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, as long as Your Majesty is recuperating, although this disease is difficult to cure, it will not ...... In the future, we should be more careful of the dragon body, the weather turns cold or the wind and haze, and do not go out again. It is best to lie on your side at bedtime. Drink plenty of hot water and eat more fruits and vegetables on weekdays. Don't drink again! ”

"I have made a note of it," the imperial concubine asked anxiously, "Envoy Wu, there is still a hundred years of Korean tribute in the palace, will Your Majesty be better if you take it?" ”

Wu Jie hurriedly said, "Absolutely not." Not only can you not take ginseng, but your majesty can no longer touch hot things such as tiger bones and deer antlers. Weekday meals should also be light, eat less lean meat, and do not eat fatty meat. And ......"

"What else, said the envoy of the Wu Academy." The imperial concubine said.

Wu Jie stubbornly said: "The leopard house faces the lake on both sides, which is just right for Your Majesty to recuperate." No matter how the foreign court advises, it is not appropriate to go back to live in the harem, and it is best for His Majesty to live in the leopard room all the time. ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed, and said quite smugly: "I also have foresight in setting up the leopard room...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”

Wu Jie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty must not be angry, nor excited, but keep your emotions calm." ”

Wu Jie prescribed another prescription and personally gave the emperor a massage.

Before leaving, the imperial concubine said, "I will send the envoy of the Wu court." ”

Waiting for the imperial concubine to leave the room, the smile on Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly disappeared. He really wants to go on another expedition, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to step out of the capital half a step in this way. He was not allowed to drink, it was terrible, and he wanted to drink two glasses even if he died.

This kind of day, or what's the point?

The imperial concubine sent Wu Jie outside the door, put aside the idle people and others, and asked in a low voice: "Envoy Wu, please tell me the truth, how is Your Majesty's condition?" ”

Wu Jie sighed and said: "Niangniang, the courtier's medical skills are limited, and His Majesty's lung disease has turned into a heart disease. Medicine and stones are difficult to treat, so they can only be recuperated. If Your Majesty can cultivate his self-cultivation, he may be able to ...... It's just that His Majesty's temperament is too anxious, and he is easy to get excited when he encounters trouble. is to quit drinking, the minister has been advised for more than ten years, and now he has not really quit. ”

"That's okay, that's okay, it's good to be able to live in peace." The imperial concubine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Jie said in a low voice: "This disease, once it is not well recuperated, it is easy to ...... Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens, it should not be like this. ”

The imperial concubine's heart sank again, and she understood the words of the imperial doctor, once she did not recuperate well, it was easy to die violently.

Zhu Houzhao's chronic bronchitis has turned into chronic cor pulmonale.
