The Fengtian Hall was empty, and there were no courtiers who bowed down under the Danqi, but as long as he was on the dragon chair and touched the cold and smooth armrest, Lao Zhu immediately felt that a kind of power began to fill his body, and his originally somewhat rickety back began to sit up straight, and he became the emperor who looked down on the world, not an old man who was about to die.

After a while, two footsteps sounded outside the hall, one light and one heavy, and then I saw Zhu Biao and Zhu Wenying walking quickly into the hall, and the two went to the Danqi to greet Lao Zhu, and Zhu Biao asked: "My father's body is not suitable to rest in the palace, why do you want to come to Fengtian Palace." ”

"The spring is cold, and the weather is still a little chilly right now, let your grandson send you back."

Lao Zhu shook his head slightly and smiled: "I'm in good health, stand on the side and don't talk anymore, I have a good show for you to watch." ”

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying glanced at each other, stood under the Danqi and stopped talking, and after a while, another person entered the hall, it was not long after the new Jinyi Guard commanded An Huzi.

Lao Zhu frowned, "I'm back so soon, what about Ma Du and others?" ”

An Huzi kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty sent an order to Weichen to invite Xu Guogong to enter the palace to face the saint, but Weichen knew that Xu Guogong was not in Fangshan, so he did not go to Fangshan to invite someone, and came to report to His Majesty." ”

Lao Zhu sat up from the dragon chair and said excitedly: "He is not in Fangshan!" Where did he go! ”

An Huzi replied in a deep voice: "On the night when Xu Guogong left the palace, he took his family to the sea, saying that he was going to Penghu for a vacation. ”

"He really escaped!" Lao Zhu roared loudly: "What are you Jinyi Wei doing to eat, didn't you let you keep an eye on Fang Shan!" ”

"But...... But last year, His Majesty instructed the Jinyi Guard to take care of it, and only take care of His Majesty's honor guard regardless of trivial matters. ”

"Dogs still dare to quibble, didn't you read the secret scroll when you took over as the commander of Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei's first priority was to watch Fang Shan...... Ha ha...... I remembered that you came out of the academy and still owed Ma Du a favor, so you deliberately let him go. Since you are unfaithful to me, it is useless for me to raise your dog! ”

Lao Zhu sat down again and slapped the armrest heavily, "General Han enters the hall!" ”

There are people on duty outside the Fengtian Hall at any time, and when they heard Lao Zhu's call, a team of palace guards immediately entered the hall, and Lao Zhu pointed to An Huzi on the ground and said: "Drag this disloyal and unrighteous dog out to me and divide the corpse!" ”

Without waiting for the Han generals to make a move, Zhu Biao suddenly walked to the hall and waved his sleeves at them, "Go out, Anhuzi, you also go out." ”

These Han generals and An Huzi did not hesitate to bow down and withdraw from the hall, and the eyes of Lao Zhu, who was sitting high on the Danqi, stared at the boss in disbelief, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha...... I almost forgot, I haven't been to the court for more than two months, let alone seen a courtier, so long is enough for you to master the court, let alone the Jinyiwei dogs. Good son! What a good son of mine! ”

Lao Zhu's chest rose and fell violently, panting heavily, and the voice was like a dilapidated bellows, which showed that he was extremely angry.

Zhu Biao took off and knelt down and said: "My father is angry, my father's dragon body owes An Daming is stormy, and the son's pre-control of the court is really the inheritance of the country, and there is no intention to rebel and seize power." ”

Hearing Zhu Biao say this, Lao Zhu gradually calmed down, and a country inheritance is indeed what he cares about the most; Second, in the current situation, no matter who is the prince, he will do this, which is understandable.

"So you knew from the beginning that my days were numbered? It was Madu who told you, he can escape smoothly, I am afraid that you are not indispensable to you, you are all good together, and I am calculating! ”

"The son is guilty, please punish your father!" Zhu Biao prostrated himself on the ground again.

Zhu Xiongying also knelt beside Zhu Biao and paused: "My father is sick and weak, and my grandson is willing to be punished on behalf of my father, so I just ask my grandfather to calm his anger and take care of his dragon body." ”

"If you two still have me in your eyes, you will immediately arrest Ma Du back to me, which is the greatest filial piety to me."

Zhu Biao raised his head when he heard this, and admonished: "Father, why do you bother to embarrass your uncle, your uncle has no merit for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is so prosperous, and the uncle has made great contributions!" ”

"What do you know, Ma Du knows what people don't know, what people can't, and he has the skill of changing the sky and the earth, not to mention changing the dynasty, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun can't compare with it. I can suppress him in fashion, if I am not in the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how long I can keep it......"

Old Zhu chattered, Zhu Biao shook his head when he heard it, but Zhu Xiongying, who was kneeling beside him, had his eyes rolling.

"Father, you know best who your uncle is, he has a lazy personality and never participates in court politics, but he is afraid that the crown will be too heavy on his head."

"When Wang Mang was humble and not usurped, no one could fathom the hearts of the people, and now the whole dynasty is his protégé, he is unwilling and can't stand the coaxing of others, even if he is not greedy, it is difficult to protect his children and grandchildren."

"If this is the case, the father should let go of the uncle, Princess Fengyang and the King of Zhancheng have already achieved success overseas, if the uncle has an accident, there will be disputes, please think twice!"

"Jin Yiwei has the means to kill people without seeing blood, and then he will be buried with a high seal, and his children may not be grateful to Xie Longen. If there is a crusade against the army, I am afraid of anyone. Since the prince refuses to serve the edict, the grandson is willing to obey the edict, and I will directly pass on the throne to you, so that your father, an unfilial son, will become the emperor! ”

Zhu Xiongying kowtowed without hesitation: "Lun Chang is in order, and his grandson does not dare to trespass, and I ask my grandfather not to be too careful, now it is the most important thing to recuperate with peace of mind." ”

"Father, don't waste your efforts in vain, my uncle may not have gone to Penghu, even if the son sends an army to arrest him, he doesn't know where to find it."

Lao Zhu stood up and said angrily: "What uncle! He's not the queen's brother at all, let alone your uncle! When I confessed to him on Poyang Lake, it was just a disguised solicitation. ”

"That's a real coincidence, he is really the brother of the queen mother, this is what the queen mother told me personally, and the queen mother asked King Xu for verification. The queen mother did not ask the ghosts and gods in front of the spirit, at least more than ten years ago, King Xu was still alive, and the queen mother saw him in Penghu. ”

"Impossible! The queen misses King Xu for a long time, and if King Xu is still alive, he will definitely come to the palace to support him, and it is impossible to hide it from me! ”

"My father didn't know that after King Xu left from the king of Chuyang, he threw himself into Peng Yingyu's account, and later Peng Yingyu was defeated and the two escaped by luck, pretending to be a monk to make a living. can really be investigated, King Xu is also a remnant of the Ming Sect, how dare the queen mother tell her father. ”

Lao Zhu seemed to think of something, "It turns out that the pancakes at that time were not made for me, nor were they made for Ma Du." Queen, queen, are you also afraid of me, in your eyes I am so unkind. Hey...... I finally understood why the emperor was a lonely man. ”

Zhu Biao took advantage of the situation to persuade: "The father and the emperor are very affectionate to the queen mother, so he let my uncle go to comfort the queen mother's soul in the sky." ”

Lao Zhu roared angrily: "Even if he is the queen's brother, it's not you...... Yes! ”

Lao Zhu suddenly howled miserably, only to feel that the lower abdomen was like a knife, and then spread to the whole body, all the internal organs and limbs were not painful, and the burly body curled up into a shrimp, and rolled down along the high dan pier during the struggle.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

Zhu Biao's father and son were shocked, Zhu Xiongying was in good shape, and he rushed up with two arrows and stopped Lao Zhu in halfway. Lao Zhu had already broken his head and was bleeding, but this pain was far less than what happened in his abdomen.

Zhu Biao took out a small bottle from his waist, "Uncle knew that my father would be in severe pain when he was sick, so he had already prepared medicine, but I didn't expect it to be used so soon." ”

Lao Zhu waved his hand frantically, "If I don't eat it, if I don't take his medicine, he will poison me!" ”

"Father, rest assured, the medicine prescribed by my uncle was prepared by the Tai Hospital, and the Tai Doctor has checked that as long as you take it according to the amount, it will not hurt your body."

The pain of terminal cancer that has spread is not something that anyone can bear, and Lao Zhu is no exception, even if Zhu Biao gives him a real poison, he can die a happy death.

Dozens of small pills went down to the stomach, and sure enough, the pain in the abdomen was greatly reduced, and Lao Zhu no longer struggled, and then he was sent back to the Jinshen Palace to raise, there is no doubt that this will be Lao Zhu's last time, but this last time is not so good.

Either he was tormented by illness, or he was so drowsy that he couldn't even get out of bed because of medication, and he didn't even have a good mood when he looked at the two unfilial children and grandchildren who were guarding the bed.

Cancer will not die for a while and a half, but the kidneys can't stand it if they can't urinate, Lao Zhu soon had a high fever that does not go away, even if he is given penicillin, it is useless, and he soon fell into a coma.

In the middle of the night, Lao Zhu, who had been in a coma for a day, suddenly opened his eyes, "Hungry, I'm hungry." But his throat was hoarse, and the words changed when they came to his lips.

Xiao Huang, who was dozing off next to the dragon couch, suddenly woke up, "Pain!" The emperor is in pain again! ”

Zhu Biao, who was sleeping soundly on the recliner next to him, sat up and began to look for the medicine bottle. Zhu Xiongying poured the pill into his hand, counted about it and poured it into Lao Zhu's mouth.

"I'm hungry! Hungry! "No one can understand the slurred voice.

"Father, don't panic, it won't hurt after taking the medicine." Zhu Biao took the tea cup and fed Lao Zhu to take the medicine.

The effect of the medicine soon became apparent, and Lao Zhu's consciousness gradually blurred: "I have been hungry for more than 20 years, and I finally became an emperor, and I didn't even have a full meal when I was dying. ”

The whole body began to become warmer, and all the pains disappeared, but the hunger in the stomach became more and more intense.

In a trance, he saw himself under the big willow tree, tired and hungry and unable to move, and walked slowly towards him along the country road.

This time it was not a rickety white-haired mother-in-law, but a village girl with a slender figure wearing a hat, walking fast and steady with a pair of beautiful big feet, and stopped in front of him.

"Hungry...... Hungry ......," the young monk groaned vigorously.

The village girl slowly untied her placket to reveal her red belly pocket, she reached out and took out a few pancakes from her belly pocket, and vaguely saw a string of burning bubbles at a glance.

The young monk suddenly raised his head to look at the village girl's face, only to see her beautiful eyebrows, smart eyes, slightly dark skin shining and translucent, and a slight smile revealing a string of silver teeth.

What a familiar face, I won't forget it when I die, it was the first time I saw it in Haozhou City, and he scratched his short hair an inch long and took the brand new red turban from the other party's hand.

This time, it was a hot pancake, Lao Zhu couldn't help but stuff it into his mouth to take a bite, and raised his arm to shout to the village girl who turned away: "Xiuying, wait for me!" ”

Suddenly, he felt that his body was light and he ran out a few steps away, and the bright sun above his head turned into a dim light, and he was standing in the temple of his body, "I'm okay?" ”

He subconsciously turned his head to look, but saw himself on the dragon couch with his arm raised......

Zhu Biao stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's raised arm, slowly placed it at his side, and tears flowed down as soon as his eyes closed slightly.

He bowed down to the dragon couch and shouted sadly, "My son respectfully sends my father to heaven!" ”

Zhu Xiongying followed, "Grandson sends the emperor's grandfather to heaven!" ”

Then there was a mourning inside and outside the palace, and it took a long time before it stopped, Zhu Biao got up from the ground and wiped his tears with his sleeve, "Xiao Huang, you go and inform the Inner Court Bureau and the various yamen of the outer court, so that they can immediately start handling the funeral of Emperor Daxing." Xiongying, the royal family will handle it from you. ”

"The ministers obey the order, but if the vassal king wants to enter the capital, please ask you to come and get an idea."

"The vassal king is not allowed to leave the fiefdom, and the vassal king who has a prince can send the prince to Beijing to mourn."

"Erchen takes orders!" Zhu Xiongying arched his hand and turned around and walked out of the palace.

Zhu Biao commanded An Huzi outside the hall: "An Huzi, you pass the news to your uncle and let him come out." ”

An Huzi turned around and knelt down and said, "Weichen is guilty, Xu Guogong is really gone!" ”
