Chapter 3 Every man's mind
After Zhu Biao said these words, he had exhausted all his strength, and he couldn't stop coughing when he was tired. Zhu Yuanzhang shouted anxiously: "Imperial Doctor, people outside, come in quickly." ”
The imperial doctor followed Zhu Ao and the others into the room, and rushed to Zhu Biao's bed to check his pulse, and the more he diagnosed, the more ugly his face became. Although Zhu Yuanzhang already knew the ending, he still had the last trace of luck and asked, "How is it?" What is the prince's condition? ”
The imperial physician hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Please forgive your majesty for the incompetence of the ministers, the prince's illness has been exhausted." Then he began to cry, but he buried his head so low that he could not see if he had shed tears.
Old Zhu sighed and said, "Get up." You step aside. ”
Zhu Biao looked at his father so sadly, very distressed, and said: "Father must take care of his body, his son is thirty-seven years old, most of his life is raised in the deep palace, brocade clothes and jade food, loving parents, brothers are harmonious, there are sons and daughters, what more can a husband ask for?" After speaking, he "coughed" a few times.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not know the regret in Zhu Biao's heart, that is, he has been the prince for twenty-five years, but he has not been an emperor for a day, touched Zhu Biao's head and said, "Don't worry." The future will be arranged for the Father's Father. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Biao closed his eyes and kicked his legs, and there was no longer any life.
"Biao'er! Biao'er! Although he had already been mentally prepared, Lao Zhu still cried uncontrollably. The sting of the white-headed man to the black-headed man, even if he has always killed decisively, it is difficult to bear it for a while.
Seeing this, the others cried loudly, and Zhu Biao's bedroom suddenly cried wolf.
Zhu Ao also wanted to cry like everyone else, but he had no choice but to come from later generations and he really lacked feelings for Zhu Biao and couldn't cry. Although Zhu Biao cares about his brothers, his concern is not much shared with King Su, so even if Zhu Biao tries hard to search for King Su's memory, he really can't find a reason to make him cry. After several failed efforts, Zhu Ao finally gave up the idea of squeezing out a few tears, did not make a sound, did not shed tears, just lowered his head, hoping that Lao Zhu would not see it.
I was really afraid of something these days, Zhu Ao quietly swept Lao Zhu with his spare eyes, but found that he was also looking at himself, that kind of look was like a fire, and the little Jiujiu in his heart seemed to be seen by him all at once. Zhu Ao was nervous for a while, and almost jumped out and said that I am not your son, I am a young man in the 21st century, I don't know why, I ran here and became your son.
He is really worthy of being the only self-made emperor in Chinese history, and his own majesty and observation make people shudder.
But after all, Zhu Ao has experienced the world, so he immediately calmed down and quietly observed the surrounding environment, hoping to find a way to break the siege.
Damn, it turned out that a bunch of people kneeling here were wearing fancy clothes by themselves, and the others were wearing plain clothes, as if they were preparing for Zhu Biao's death. Kneeling in this gorgeous formal suit in the middle of a group of people in plain clothes, he really looks too outstanding, no wonder Lao Zhu looks at himself.
I didn't expect Zhu Biao to hang up today, it seems that this group of people is inquiring about the news every day, so they know Zhu Biao's condition well, and they don't arrange eyes and ears in the palace, so they are so passive. The lesson is very profound, we must pay attention to it in the future, we must pay attention, we must pay attention!
At this time, it was useless to say anything, Zhu Ao could only try to make a sad appearance, and then put his head low, hoping that he would not greatly lose points in Lao Zhu's mind.
Lao Zhu cried for a while, stopped his crying, stood up and said, "The prince is filial piety, and the world is in the heart." I wanted him to inherit the throne, but unfortunately the prince died young, and his life was also! The prince's funeral will be solemnly held, so go back to you. With that, he slowly walked out of the house, and when he left, he glanced at Zhu Ao again, which frightened Zhu Ao and got goosebumps again.
Heartache is heartache, but Lao Zhu knows that he has more important things to do, after the death of the prince, the political pattern of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be shaken, he can't fall now, he has to continue to fight, to create a peaceful and prosperous world for his children and grandchildren.
Naturally, it was not Zhu Ao's turn to intervene in the funeral of the prince, he and several younger brothers withdrew together, they didn't say much to each other, sighed a few times to each other, and went back to their respective homes.
Zhu Ao returned to his mansion, and after meeting his mother, he went back to the house to rest. His body was not weak, but he was just recovering from a serious illness, and he was scared enough by Lao Zhu, but now he is really a little weak, and he can't care about anything else, so he goes to bed.
Gao felt sorry for his son, so he specially sent two palace maids to serve beside him. The two palace maids are both veterans of serving people, one pinching his head and the other rubbing his legs, so that Zhu Ao's fatigue gradually dissipated.
If the daughter-in-law has a baby, it is better to be a prince, how can he have the life to serve in the future?
The next day, according to etiquette, it should be the day when a few of their princes who did not settle for the vassal went to pay tribute to Brother Zhu Biao. After having breakfast under the service of Huai En and several palace maids, Zhu Ao put on filial piety clothes and went to the Wenhua Hall to see off his eldest brother for the last time.
On this day, there were many people who came to pay their respects, in addition to the kings of the clan, there were also relatives and ministers. Representative figures are: Liang Guogong Lan Yu, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Yingguo Gong Fu Youde, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi and so on.
Because of his familiarity with the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ao knew very well about their fate - they were about to follow the crown prince Zhu Biao.
The faces of the people who came to pay their respects were not good-looking, especially Lan Yu, who was always depressed, like a dead father. This is also understandable, he is Zhu Biao's original partner Chang's uncle, and Zhu Yuanzhang left Zhu Biao's successor team number one.
Lan Yu has a good relationship with the crown prince, and he is very capable of fighting, so Zhu Yuanzhang basically relied on him to fight in all directions in the later period, and by the way, he cultivated a team for his son.
Lan Yu is a person who has the ability to be true, but he also has a big temper, and he often commits Zhu Yuanzhang's taboos. Lao Zhu saw that for the sake of his previous military exploits, coupled with the protection of the prince, he basically dealt with things lightly. But now it's different, Lan Yu's biggest backer is dead, and he hasn't even been the emperor for a day, what will Zhu Yuanzhang think of him in his heart at this time, he doesn't have any bottom in his heart, this period is undoubtedly the most sensitive time.
The several fathers who came with Lan Yu had about the same thoughts, they were all members of the team that Lao Zhu left to his son, and they originally wanted to wait for Lao Zhu to hang up and follow the new emperor to continue to be powerful, but they didn't expect the new emperor to hang up before he ascended the throne, and their situation became very delicate at this time. Fortune, fortune, honor and disgrace are all in Lao Zhu's thoughts.
Next, it depends on who is the prince of Lao Zhuli, if it is the king of Qin, then these old people who are the former princes will be purged; If the son of the crown prince Zhu Biao is established, it will be said twice.
Because Zhu Biao is now qualified to become a prince has two sons, the first is Zhu Yunwen, who was born to Zhu Biao's side concubine Lu, and has nothing to do with Lan Yu and others, if he is made the prince, Lan Yu and other Lan Chang's old departments are bound to be packed and taken away, because their relationship with the prince is maintained by the prince's original partner Chang Shi, Chang is Chang Yuchun's daughter, Chang Yuchun is Lan Yu's brother-in-law, then Zhu Biao is Lan Yu's nephew and son-in-law.
In fact, Lan Yu also cherishes his relationship with Zhu Biao, and as long as he is free, he will go to Zhu Biao's mansion to sit and enhance his relationship. This is also human nature, the prince is tomorrow's emperor, ordinary people can't climb the relationship if they want to, you don't cherish this relationship, that's not called Qinggao, that's called brain convulsions.
Moreover, Lan Yu also warned Zhu Biao, the king of Yan, that Zhu Di had a heart of disobedience, but Zhu Biao did not listen, and he himself was like fire and water with the king of Yan, who coveted the throne. If Zhu Biao does not die, Lan Yu and the others will definitely become the pillars of the new dynasty, and at this time, according to Lan Yu's position and ability, Zhu Laosi has no chance.
It's a pity, destiny is hard to disobey!
If Zhu Yuanzhang establishes Zhu Yunxi, Lan Yu and the others will have a chance again, because Zhu Yunxi is the second son of Zhu Biao's original partner Chang (the first one is dead), and according to the seniority, Lan Yu should also be called Uncle Uncle, so that the relationship between Lan Yu and the royal family can be maintained.
