The Ming Dynasty implemented the two-capital system, with two capitals, Yingtian and Beijing. The two-Beijing system of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is not innate, but a problem left over after the success of Zhu Dijing, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Wangfu Street of Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there are a group of mansions with dense buildings, which are called the Ten Princes' Mansion by the people nowadays, and some people call the Xinwangfu. The Ten Princes' Mansion was originally a collective dormitory for the underage prince, but now there is only one prince living in this huge palace complex, which is the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, who will be martyred in the future.

Chongzhen is the name of the year, Zhu Youzhen is not the emperor now, but the king of letters, he is still just a little transparent, a young man with red lips and white teeth, quite delicate, and a very low-key little prince who is not as weak as the crown.

In the study of King Xin's mansion, the young prince, who is only seventeen years old, is painting. Compared with Zhu Yousong, although the specifications of his study are atmospheric, they are slightly shabby. There are no celebrity calligraphy and paintings in the study, only a few warning aphorisms written by myself.

The pen used by this young man to paint is also very peculiar, not a brush used by ordinary people, but a charcoal pen. It was the season of long days and short nights, and although it was afternoon, it was still some time before it got dark, but there was a candle lit on the bookcase at the moment. The rice paper on the bookcase is not painted with Meilan chrysanthemum bamboo, nor is it a beautiful and elegant lady, but a simplified version of the territory map of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, stared at the map on the table tightly, as if he wanted to catch a flower. After examining it for a long time, he sighed, took out a finger-long paper tube from the wooden box on the table, lit it on the candle and inhaled it beautifully, the smoke spit out of his mouth after turning around his lungs, and Zhu Youzhen's side was suddenly filled with smoke.

Zhu Youzhen squinted, staring at the painting on the table through the smoke eyes, took the charcoal pen in his right hand and added a few strokes to the map, and now he looks at the map again, the shape is like a rooster singing with a high neck. If Zhu Yousong was here, he might have screamed in surprise, and then grabbed Zhu Youzhen's hand with both hands and excitedly claimed that he had found the organization......

If nothing else, if Zhu Yousong were here, he would have found that the map on the rice paper would be exactly the same as the map of China's territory that he had read 10,000 times in his previous life.

Zhu Youzhen licked his lips, added a few dotted lines to the blank space, and then looked at the map on the table again, and then put down the charcoal with satisfaction.

Zhu Youzhen leaned back on the chair, his brain turned quickly, and at this time, the copper bell hanging at the door rang, and Zhu Youzhen closed his eyes and said, "Come in." ”

A guard walked in, saluted Zhu Yousong and said, "Lord Wang, there is news from the palace." ”

Zhu Youzhen's hands hidden in his sleeves suddenly clenched into fists, and he held his breath and said, "Say!" ”

"Your Majesty ordered the prince to enter the palace, and the eunuch who sent the order was on the way at this time."

"This day has finally come!" Zhu Youzhen's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he said without waves: "Got it, go down." ”

The guard bowed down and was about to withdraw, but Zhu Youzhen suddenly stopped him without knowing what he thought, and asked helplessly on his face: "How is that person, still so stubborn?" ”

The guard bowed down and replied, "Back to the prince, that lord has been hiding in the small courtyard outside our city all day long, and has been trapped in the pile of books every day, which has been two whole years. Although we don't need to send people to watch him all day long like two years ago, this 'three-wanted old man' now has to eat, drink and book, at most catch a guard who guards him and drag him to play chess with him. ”

Zhu Youzhen said curiously: "Looking for you to play chess?" ”

The guard said aggrievedly: "Yes, where can we be the big man, every time the adult is scolded from the side, we don't dare to be rude to him, sometimes I really want to give him two big ear scrapers." ”

If this scene were to be seen by outsiders, it is estimated that the jaw would fall to the ground. What a system it is for a guard to dare to speak so openly to the prince!

Zhu Youzhen didn't care about this, sighed and said: "It's as stubborn as a donkey, I don't know if the decision to save him was right or wrong now." ”

"In the past two years, not to mention the cost of our good food and drink to support him, it cost a lot of money to buy those books, haven't we stopped raising this kind of dry food for a long time?" The guard suddenly straightened his face, put his hand to his neck, and said in a low voice: "Lord, or I will send someone to give him grace-"

"! Dare to joke with your prince! ”

The guard laughed and withdrew. The prince's money is not so easy to spend, he knew it three years ago, and he also knows that the prince's money will not be spent in vain, because the prince's money has never been spent in vain!

Zhu Youzhen got up from his seat, lit the map on the table on the candle and put it in the brazier, and the room suddenly became thick with smoke.

Opening the window and putting out the smoke, Procurator Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief, looked in the direction of the palace with red eyes, and said to himself: "This day has finally arrived......

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Yousong cleaned up, the eunuch in the palace arrived at the Xinwang Mansion.

……

By the time Zhu Youzhen entered the palace to see his elder brother Zhu Youxiao, at this time, this outstanding architect, great carpenter, and excellent craftsman, Emperor Tianqi, had already successfully become terminally ill and bedridden under the immortal medicine jointly offered by Huo Weihua, the secretary of the military department, and Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuchs.

Emperor Tianqi was lying on the bed coughing non-stop at this time, and Zhu Youzhen walked over according to the scene that he had rehearsed countless times in his memory, so that Emperor Tianqi could grab his hand and say the words in the annals of history: "Come, my brother should be Yao Shun." ”

It's a pity that the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't grab his hand, and he saw the seventeen-year-old Zhu Youzhen's younger brother crying: "Deyo (Zhu Youzhen's words), you came to see me for the last time." ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be stunned, his terminally ill brother didn't follow the script!

As the king of a country, Zhu Youxiao is only 22 years old this year. At this time, his body was swollen, his face was pale, he had not eaten for many days, and the Ming Dynasty was pressed on the shoulders of this young man, and now he had to face his own death......

After all, blood is thicker than water, Zhu Youzhen thought that the person in front of him would soon return to the sky, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, and he grabbed the hand of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said: "Your Majesty, I came to see you, Your Majesty's destiny is added, and the blessing of the sky will definitely be better." ”

When Emperor Tianqi heard Zhu Youzhen's words, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and he stared at Zhu Youzhen and asked, "Fifth brother, have you found the elixir?" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and kept silent.

Emperor Apocalypse looked at it for a moment, closed his eyes, and muttered: "I have these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but I can't find a capable person who can cure my illness, it's really sad and lamentable......"

Emperor Apocalypse Half Moon was accidentally blown into the water by a strong wind when he was swimming in the lake in Xiyuan, although he was rescued later, he was frightened a lot, and his body also fell into the root of the disease. Zhu Youzhen did not study medicine, but guessed that the Emperor of the Apocalypse may have fallen into the water and suffered from wind and cold, and contracted pneumonia or pulmonary edema. At this time, the development of Western medicine was still in its infancy, and Western medicine at this time was not as good as traditional Chinese medicine in terms of clinical treatment technology.

Zhu Youzhen worked hard to remove the distracting thoughts in his mind: "What kind of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, in the future, there will only be eclectic Ming medicine!" ”

Sometimes once things are off track, it's a little harder to turn back. Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that Emperor Tianqi would not play his cards according to the routine, seeing that he was now in a deep sadness, and he didn't know how to bring him back, so that he could say that sentence of entrustment to the country.

At this time, a person suddenly came out from behind the screen in the main hall, it was the current Empress Zhang, she walked up to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, touched the hair of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, the top priority is this Ming Dynasty." ”

Emperor Apocalypse returned his soul and stared at Zhu Youzhen and stretched out his hand......

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly grasped it, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Come, my brother should be Yao Shun." ”

Zhu Youzhen was so excited that he almost cried, where would he say anything "The minister is guilty of capital crimes." Seeing that there were tears in his eyes, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, and stretched out his other hand to hold Zhu Youzhen and said, "My brother doesn't want to shirk, I really can't do it." As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You must bear this Zhu family's rivers and mountains, and you must bear it!" ”

Although Zhu Youzhen has rehearsed countless times in his mind, he is also in a dilemma when he encounters this kind of thing. If you say yes, won't it be too abrupt? If he resigned, who knows if the Emperor of the Apocalypse who didn't follow the script would change his hexagram? So at this moment, although Zhu Youzhen was in tears, he didn't say a word, and he didn't say anything at all.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen still has ideas, and not speaking at this time means acquiescence, but obviously people at this time do not have the tacit understanding of later generations. Empress Zhang thought that Zhu Youzhen wanted to excuse herself, so she choked up and said: "Your Majesty is terminally ill, if King Xin does not agree, if Your Majesty really returns to the sky, there is no co-owner in the world, and the vassal kings of various places are fighting each other, how can the Taoist system exist at that time?" I'm afraid that the people of the world will fall into war again, and this Ming country will be ruined again......"

Emperor Tianqi also nodded at this time and said, "The queen is reasonable, my brother should not refuse." ”

Zhu Youzhen no longer hesitated when he heard this, and solemnly knelt on the ground and said word by word: "Minister, I will protect my Ming Dynasty forever!" ”

Emperor Tianqi and Empress Zhang received a satisfactory answer, and wanted to talk to Zhu Youzhen for a while, but Emperor Tianqi's body was too weak at this time, and he didn't talk for a while, and then he looked sluggish, he hadn't eaten anything for many days, and his body was extremely weak.

Empress Zhang glanced at him worriedly and said to Zhu Youzhen: "King Xin, Your Majesty is tired. ”

This is a euphemistic eviction order, Zhu Youzhen sighed and did not delay any longer, and after respectfully bowing to the two, he left the palace......
