Zhu Changluo was also struggling with whether to visit Emperor Wanli, go, worried that Emperor Wanli said that he couldn't wait to succeed to the throne, and if he didn't go, he was worried about the succession, and after listening to Yang Lian's words, he figured it out, and hurriedly went to see Emperor Wanli, Zheng Guifei originally wanted to stop it, but the first assistant Fang Congzhe also took the ministers of the court to ask to see Emperor Wanli, Zheng Guifei knew that he couldn't stop it, so he had to agree to let Zhu Changluo go to see Emperor Wanli.

Zhu Changluo walked into the palace of Emperor Wanli, and saw his father, who had always made him extremely afraid, lying on the dragon bed like gold paper, dying, no longer having the majesty of the past, and couldn't help but feel sad, knelt down in front of the dragon bed, and said sadly: "Father, my son has asked you to say goodbye!" ……”

Emperor Wanli struggled to open his eyes and look at Zhu Changluo, who was crying bitterly, and saw the true feelings of this son who had always been unloved by him, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of warmth in his heart, beckoning to Zhu Changluo with difficulty, and said in a rare and loving tone: "Luo'er, come here, let me take a good look at your ......"

Zhu Changluo had never seen Emperor Wanli talk to him in such a tone, quite uncomfortable, hurriedly kneeled close to the head of the bed, looking at his father with some trepidation, Wanli stroked Zhu Changluo's head with a dry hand, and found that Zhu Changluo's hair already had a few strands of gray hair, only then did he remember that his son was thirty-eight years old, and he usually cared too little about him, and there was also a trace of guilt in his heart, and sighed: "Luo'er, I don't care much about you on weekdays, do you complain?" ……”

Zhu Changluo became more and more frightened, and hurriedly said: "Father, you have every opportunity to work hard for state affairs, and it is already unfilial for your son to share your worries, how dare you be resentful?" ……”

Wanli shook his head and said: "I am not a good father, nor a good emperor, you don't want to learn from me, you must be diligent in government and love the people, be a good emperor, let me prosper in the Ming Dynasty, the country and the people, and pass on my Ming Dynasty, so that I can also smile at Jiuquan......"

Zhu Changluo was ecstatic in his heart, his father was going to officially let him succeed to the throne! It's finally time to get out! But he didn't dare to show the slightest joy on his face, and pretended to be panicked and said: "Father Emperor must not scare his son, the son only wishes that Father Emperor Dragon is healthy and has a long life, and he will never dare to think nonsense......"

Emperor Wanli frowned, what he didn't like the most was Zhu Changluo, he always cowered and lacked courage, speaking of which, he was also to blame, he was usually too strict with Zhu Changluo, so he would let him develop such a character, so he patiently continued: "Idiot, how can people really live forever, even Emperor Taizu only lived seventy-one years old, I have reigned for forty-eight years, which has surpassed the ancestors of previous generations, it's time to hand over the throne to you, this is the responsibility of my Zhu descendants!" ……”

Zhu Changluo still wanted to pretend to prevaricate, Emperor Wanli waved his hand and said hard: "Don't speak, I feel that the end is approaching, time is running out, now the state affairs are erosive, internal and external troubles, I have the heart to reorganize the dynasty, but I am also powerless, I can only leave it to you to do, I still have something to tell you, you just listen......"

Zhu Changluo stopped acting at this time, and hurriedly said: "My son must follow his father's teachings......"

Seeing Zhu Changluo's respectful attitude, Emperor Wanli nodded with satisfaction and said: "Concubine Zheng Guifei has always accompanied me, and she has won my heart, I have decreed that she will be canonized as Empress Xiaoning, and after you succeed to the throne, you will canonize her as the queen mother, treat her like your biological mother, and don't treat her badly......"

Zhu Changluo lowered his head, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, his biological mother Concubine Wang Gong was originally a palace maid under the status, and Emperor Wanli had a drunken mess. Sex was fortunate to her, but she didn't expect to be pregnant, Emperor Wanli didn't want to admit it, and then it was the Empress Dowager Li at that time who asked the eunuch to turn out the inner living note, and the Wanli Emperor pinched his nose and recognized it, which is why Zhu Changluo, and because of this reason, Emperor Wanli didn't like Zhu Changluo and his biological mother Wang Gongfei, and only favored Zheng Guifei, although he had to make Zhu Changluo the prince under the courtiers' forced palace, but he sprinkled his resentment on Zhu Changluo's biological mother Wang Gongfei, and sent her into the cold palace and was imprisoned for 30 years. In the end, he cried and blinded his eyes because he couldn't see his son, and died of grief and indignation, what kind of mood Zhu Changluo was in as a prince can be imagined.

Now that Emperor Wanli is dying, he still misses Concubine Zheng Guifei, and he wants Zhu Changluo to canonize her as the queen mother after succeeding to the throne, and treat her like his own mother, how can Zhu Changluo not be angry? However, the fear of Wanli made him dare not reveal this angry emotion at all, and said busily: "My son remembers, I will never dare to disobey ......"

After explaining the family affairs, Emperor Wanli began to explain the state affairs, sighed and said: "Now that the party is constantly fighting in the court, after you succeed to the throne, you must use more virtuous ministers to revitalize the court discipline...... But there is one thing you have to keep in mind, although there is no shortage of honest and honest ministers in the Donglin Party, and there is also the loyalty of Kuang Fu Sheji, but their party is the same, so it can be used but not reused! ……”

Zhu Changluo pouted disapprovingly, he had also been secretly cultivating his own forces over the years, including many Donglin Party members, but he didn't dare to refute it, and said respectfully: "Father's teachings, the son must remember it in his heart, and he will never dare to forget!" ……”

Emperor Wanli confessed so many words at once, he was a little out of breath, Zhu Changluo hurriedly used his hands to massage his chest, he slowly eased his breath, hesitated for a moment and continued: "As long as you use the virtuous ministers and villains, it should not be difficult to revive the dynasty, but there is only one thing, I am really a little relieved......

Zhu Changluo had already taken a reassuring pill, and his mood slowly relaxed, not as restrained as before, and said smartly: "Father is worried about the Jiannu in Liaodong? ……”

Wanli shook his head and said: "Although Jiannu is aggressive, he lives in a bitter cold place, and even if he has ambitions, it is wishful thinking to enter the Central Plains!" Xiong Tingbi is not enterprising enough, and he has more than enough to defend, as long as you ensure that the soldiers are constantly paid and the border defense is stabilized, you can be safe! I'm worried about the south! ……”

"Southside?" A fine light flashed in Zhu Changluo's eyes, and he suddenly said, "Father is talking about Guo Zhiyuan?!" ……”

Emperor Wanli nodded and said: "Guo Zhiyuan is a talented and courageous person, no one in the court can match, if it can be used by the imperial court, he will be able to support the society and protect me from the Ming Dynasty, but he is bold and reckless, and often has amazing moves, whether it is a capable minister who governs the world or a hero in troubled times, I really can't see through!" Now that he has become a big trend in the south, I am afraid that he will become a problem for my Ming henchmen in the future! ……”

Zhu Changluo was also quite jealous of Guo Zhiyuan, so he hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, after the son-in-law succeeded to the throne, he immediately issued an order to behead him, and he will never suffer in the future!" ……”
