Is my father really dead?

For Zhu Houzhao, this is really a fact that he can't accept no matter what. Although Emperor Hongzhi's illness seemed to be menacing before, he went to the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace to serve the sick every time he went to the Wenhua Hall to listen to the lectures. However, yesterday he nodded solemnly and promised his father that he would definitely supervise the country well in the next period and not make a small surname, but today the situation took a turn for the worse in the early morning, and in the face of the dying emperor, a few imperial doctors could only kowtow.

In a hurry, he Huo Ran, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, stood up and shouted at those people: "Kowtow, you will only kowtow, do you have any other skills besides this?" If you can't be cured, I will exile you all to Gansu to fill the army...... No, it's all beheaded......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly only felt that someone behind him pulled his clothes, and when he turned his head and saw Emperor Hongzhi shaking his head at him, he couldn't help but look blush, and hurriedly sat down and got closer: "Father, I didn't mean to make noise, you have a good rest, if these wine bags and rice bags don't work, let's go outside and ask for a doctor, please a better doctor......

"It's all days, don't be busy." Emperor Hongzhi slept groggily last night, and after waking up this morning, he felt that the situation was even worse, and at this time he wanted to smile bitterly, but only the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his right hand weakly grabbed his son's hand, "Houzhao, I never thought of letting you sit in that seat so early, I was going to let you go through the experience first, who knew that the will of heaven would make people...... If I am gone, you have to be filial to your mother, and without me, you are the only one to rely on......"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were red when Emperor Hongzhi said it, and he suddenly turned his head and shouted angrily at the people in the Tai Hospital who were lying on the ground, and when a person was embarrassed and crawled out, he almost fell on Emperor Hongzhi.

"Father, don't say these stupid things, I don't want to listen! Don't they all say that Jiren has their own natural appearance, you will be fine, absolutely nothing! It's all the fault of those rice buckets, but it's just a little wind and cold, how can it be so long, I think I was most afraid of taking medicine when I was a child, so a wind chill dragged on for more than a month......" As he spoke, he couldn't cry, lying there sobbing for a long time, feeling a hand gently rubbing his shoulder, he raised his head with two peach-like eyes, which was extremely pitiful, "Father, don't leave me, don't leave me......"

"Silly boy!"

Emperor Hongji smiled weakly, only to feel that his previous thoughts were hopelessly stupid. Such a son who is attached to his father, he can personally help him to familiarize himself with national politics, why should he take that stupid method of chasing ducks to the shelves? He boasted of his medical skills and medicine, not to mention the many preferential treatments of the people in the Tai Hospital, and even spared no effort to rebuild the materia medica. Now, he has fallen to this point because of such a little wind and cold, and God is inevitably treating him too lightly!

"Your Majesty, what Houzhao said is, don't say these depressing words, I think I have survived so many difficulties at the beginning, but now it is just a little illness, why can't I get through it?" Empress Zhang, who had just turned her head to take a handkerchief and gagged her mouth, was stunned and didn't make a sad sound, finally approached at this time, sat down next to Zhu Houzhao, put one hand on her son's shoulder, pressed the back of her husband's hand with the other, and said sadly, "For the sake of our mother, the emperor must also hold on, otherwise he will ......."

Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao is so young, they are orphans and widows, who knows if they will be bullied by those bosses in the court!

The sorrow in his wife's words, how could Emperor Hongzhi not understand it, seeing that Zhu Houzhao was rubbing his eyes vigorously again, he had to cough lightly and said softly: "Even if I am gone, the three gentlemen in the cabinet are all upright gentlemen, and they will definitely assist Houzhao well, not to mention Liu Daxia and Dai Shan, and they are all first-class loyal ministers......"

"That's for you, but Houzhao is still small after all!" Empress Zhang pressed her husband's hand tightly and said in an almost pleading tone, "Your Majesty, don't say these words, we don't want to hear it, you have a good rest, take care of yourself, and when you are well, our family of three will go to Taiye Chi Qionghua Island to see and see the full ......moon."

"Don't you say that I almost forgot about it, I promised you back then, one day, I will take you to Mount Tai to see it...... At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I only felt that without Wan Guifei, I could do anything, but I didn't expect that I would not be able to get out of the capital in this life and this life...... But it doesn't matter, they all say that people have an afterlife, if it is an afterlife, I will marry you, at that time, we will travel all over the world and fulfill this wish. ”

Empress Zhang was originally forbearant and sad, but when she was provoked by Emperor Hongzhi's words, she immediately couldn't hold back anymore, and actually grabbed Zhu Houzhao's shoulder and burst into tears. And Zhu Houzhao is in the palace, although he has heard from the eunuchs about men and women, but at this time, his parents are unforgettable and dependent on each other, but he has never experienced it. At this moment, he only felt that his heart was sour and astringent, and he couldn't say a word, so he only grabbed the corners of his clothes and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Xiao went to the cabinet in person, and Lord Yuanfu has already written the edict according to your will."

At this juncture, a low voice suddenly came from below. Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao got up angrily, and he didn't look at who was kneeling on the ground and was about to raise his hand to fight. It was still Empress Zhang who quickly hugged him, and his angry blow missed, but even so, he still shouted angrily: "What kind of edict, my father is still here, you dogs are looking forward to that son one by one, are you worthy of your father!" ”

Seeing Zhu Houzhao making such a fuss, a trace of deep helplessness flashed in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes, and he couldn't help but swallow back the words that came to his mouth. He looked at his son's back as if he couldn't get enough of it, watched his shoulders twitch slightly, and watched him and Empress Zhang hug each other and cry silently, he struggled for a long time, and then finally spoke: "Empress, Houzhao, come here, I still have something to say to you." ”

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao hurriedly helped Empress Zhang over, while he knelt on the pedal in front of the bed, he tried his best to gently stroke the round head, and said intermittently: "I only have a son like you, and you alone can afford the throne...... I am gone, and you will listen to the ministers about the sacrificial rites; Filial piety to the Queen Mother and Queen, I don't need to teach you; But abide by the laws of the ancestors, select talents and use energy, you must keep these two items in mind! ”

The words in front of Emperor Hongzhi were not loud, but when it came to the last one, he raised his voice all of a sudden, and seeing that Zhu Houzhao hesitated slightly, he hurriedly held his hand and said yes, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and the last thing on his mind was finally put down. Raising his eyes to look at Queen Zhang, who was teary-eyed, he only felt that his eyes were gradually hazy, and he vaguely returned to the moment of the wedding.

At that time, the red candles lit up the new house, and he was poured a lot of wine by his half-brothers, and when he returned to the new house, he was a little top-heavy, and even forgot what the bride he saw when he picked the hippa before. And when he almost fell down in front of the bed, it was a pair of hands that quickly supported him, followed by a series of complaints.

"Be careful when you walk, drink less if you don't drink, really, why bother yourself!"

Although his position as the crown prince at that time was far from stable, the palace maids and attendants around him had never disobeyed him, and this was the first time he had heard such a blame. Thinking about it now, maybe it was her expressive face after seeing the makeup removal at that time, maybe it was her nervousness and pain in the pillow table, maybe it was because she gave him a few looks after people because he later treated a palace maid and Yan Yuese, and he gradually fell in love with this real wife, rather than a princess who was like a puppet based on virtue and generosity.

It's a big regret in life that I can't grow old with my beloved wife and can't watch my son grow up Chengren...... If God gives him another twenty years...... No, even if it's ten years, how nice that would be!

In a haze, he vaguely saw his wife and son pounce on him, both of them were shouting something, but he couldn't hear it clearly, and the words that he tried to say came to his lips, but turned into another irrelevant sentence.

"Liu Wentai mistakenly ......"

As Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes regretfully, the Xinuan Pavilion became a mess for a moment. Empress Zhang cried hoarsely after a moment, and finally fell on her husband's body; Zhu Houzhao was already crying to the point of dry howling, and the soft towel spread on the edge of the bed was torn into a mess by him. All the palace maids and attendants also knelt on the ground, although they didn't dare to make a sound, but the clear water traces were faintly visible on the gold bricks.

The Son of Heaven who has lived in the Qianqing Palace for several generations, but there is only the Xuanmiao of the year who is so benevolent, tolerant and easy to serve today. But such an emperor died as young as the Xuande Emperor back then, and God is too good at tossing people!

I don't know how long it took for Zhu Houzhao to finally come back to his senses, but with the help of several female officials, he woke up Empress Zhang, and strongly persuaded people to rest on the soft couch on the side, and ordered people to go to the cabinet to report the news, and go to the celebrant to call people, and then sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, holding his father's hand that was gradually losing temperature and refused to let go. At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"The emperor has already controlled the guests, and I ask His Royal Highness to mourn ......"

"What a sorrow!" Zhu Houzhao finally couldn't hold back any longer, and knocked the old eunuch to the ground with a round slap, and then roared angrily, "What my father and emperor were thinking about before he died was me and my mother, if my son can still mourn, then what am I!" Get out, get out of the way, let me accompany my father...... From now on, I'll never see him again! ”

Although the first few sentences were full of anger, by the time of the last sentence, Zhu Houzhao had already burst into tears again, and sat down stiffly, looking directly at Emperor Hongzhi on the bed.

If there was a regret medicine in the world, he would definitely not be angry with his father, maybe in this way, his father would not have left so suddenly. He is to be blamed for all this, and he is to be blamed......
