Several old ministers gave up their hands one after another: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Although they said this, the expressions on their faces did not mean to make Zhu Youjiao angry at all. Even Xie Qian's head was lifted, as if he was sarcastic about Zhu Youjiao.

Zhu Youzhang, who was already in poor health, could stand such anger, and he collapsed on the ground all of a sudden, spurting blood stains from his mouth.

This frightened several important ministers of the court, Qiu Jun shouted loudly to the imperial doctor, and Wang Shu had already taken the lead and Ma Wensheng to support Zhu Youzhu, who fell to the ground.

Only Xie Qian stood coldly in place, looking at Zhu Youjiao's gaze with great disdain.

Without waiting for the imperial doctor to come over, Zhu Youzhu relieved himself and became angry: "Why did Qing and the others abandon me." ”

Qiu Jun sighed, with pity in his eyes, the emperor's body was not harmonious, and he was not too fierce in his words, and after organizing the language, he said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, played a trick on Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, to hide the birds with good bows and hide the cunning rabbits and dead lackeys. In the end, the Marquis of Huaiyin, who was able to command countless soldiers, died tragically at the hands of a woman.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, there is Zhang Ru, the Marquis of Dingbian, who opened up territory for the country and defended the land of the Ming Dynasty several times. It also put forward a series of suggestions that are beneficial to people's livelihood, such as the opening of the sea ban. Before the great cause is accomplished, His Majesty will hide all the birds.

Although our ministers are old, they don't want to die well.

The resignation is purely a helpless move, and His Majesty wants to promote young people, and those young people must be more energetic than the old and useless people such as the ministers. The ministers have already made up their minds, so why should Your Majesty force them to stay. ”

Zhu Youzhu clutched his chest and coughed violently, and when the coughing stopped, Wang Shu's silk scarf covering Zhu Youzhang's mouth was already stained with bright red blood.

Several old ministers looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the emperor's body had reached this point.

As if he hadn't seen the blood on the silk scarf, Zhu Youzhu turned around several old ministers with deep eyes: "It turns out that you all helped Zhang Wenxuan intercede for such a long time."

I asked myself if I treated him well, if I really wanted his life, it was just a matter of words.

Now, just to remove him from his position as a lord, and make him an idle rich man, has already made you humerus ministers dissatisfied.

One day I passed away, my young son was still in infancy, and there was Zhang Wenxuan in the court who was such a minister, so that I would not be blind to death? ”

At the moment when they saw Zhu Youzhu's hemoptysis, several ministers already knew why the emperor was so impatient to attack Zhang Ru.

No matter how powerful the civil officials are in the court, there are military generals and nobles to contend with, and the prince who is still in the queen's womb will definitely be able to ascend to the throne in the future.

Zhang Ru's nature is different from that of civil ministers and nobles, and he can be said to be a combination of the two.

Among the civil officials, Qiu Jun, Wang Shu, Ma Wensheng, etc. are good friends with him, among the military generals, there are Wu Qian, Ma Xuan, Zhang An and others who have a good relationship with him, and among the nobles, there are Zhu Yong, the Duke of Baoguo, and Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, who call him brothers.

If such a person stays in the court and leaves it to the prince, it is indeed a big hidden danger.

Now that Zhu Youzhu is still alive, Zhang Ru may not be able to take into account brotherhood, and after Zhu Youzhu is gone, who knows if Zhang Ru will be interested in the high dragon chair?

Even Qiu Jun, who thought he knew Zhang Ru very well, didn't dare to say that Zhang Ru had absolutely no idea about the throne, let alone others.

So after Zhu Youzhu said this, everyone was silent.

From the perspective of an emperor and a father, Zhu Youzhu is really right.

Qiu Jun took the lead in kneeling down and admitting his mistake: "The old minister blames Your Majesty, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"The ministers know their mistakes, please punish Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youzhu said weakly: "Qing and others are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the humerus of me." I have no intention of blaming Qing and others, I just ask you Aiqing not to abandon me. ”

An emperor who said such things in such a low voice, no matter how you look at it, has already achieved the extreme.

The ministers are just courtiers, and when they are old, they have no ambition to become the ninety-five. Since the emperor said this, if several people continue to insist on leaving the court, they will inevitably take the emperor too seriously.

With Zhu Youzhang's character, even if a few people insist on leaving, he will only keep it at most, and he will never do anything to kill Wenchen.

But a few people just looked at each other and made a decision.

They decided to stay and continue to assist the Ming Jun, who rarely appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

It is rare to meet a good talent, and it is rare to meet a good minister.

When the imperial physician arrived, several important ministers of the court were all politely invited out by the imperial physician.

After some diagnosis, the doctor lay on the ground and stopped talking.

Zhu Youzhu couldn't bear to look at the imperial doctor like this, and said softly: "Say it!" I don't blame you for how much time I have left. ”

The imperial doctor's voice trembled: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to speak falsely!" ”

Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "I want you to say it!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, Your Majesty don't be angry! The minister said yes, said yes! Your Majesty, your current body can no longer withstand your anger, and today's anger is not a trigger, but a congenital disease that Your Majesty brought in his mother's womb. The old minister thought that His Majesty's illness should be recuperated. The old minister's medical skills are not perfect, and he also asked His Majesty to summon famous doctors from all over the world to consult in the palace together. The Imperial Doctor said carefully.

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said, "You go down!" I must not tell a third party about my physical condition, otherwise, I will take the lives of your family. ”

"Obey the order!" The Imperial Physician knelt on the ground and retreated out of the Dongnuan Pavilion.

The news of Zhu Youzhang's vomiting of blood did not spread, except for a few old ministers, only the henchmen and eunuchs around Zhu Youzhu knew.

Among them are Wang Zhi and Huaien.

As Wynne grew older, many things were no longer involved in management, and Wang Zhi's status in the inner court became higher and higher.

But now Wang Zhi can't see the shadow of the tiger at that time, as long as it is something ordered by the emperor, he will definitely check it personally, many times the people in Dongchang can't do it, he will even condescend to Mu Bin's Jinyi guard for help.

On the surface, it is impossible to see that this is Wang Zhi at all.

It may be that he feels that the emperor has always been wary of him, or it may be that he has really changed his mind.

The emperor's vomiting of blood did not reach the ears of the empress, but after the emperor's condition stabilized for half a month, it reached the ears of Zhang Ru, who had arrived at Xuanfu and accompanied Zhang An to drink every day.

The Xuanfu camp, the mansion of the general army, a thin piece of letter paper was scattered on the ground, Zhang Ru sat on the chair with blank eyes, and his hands were trembling unconsciously.

The problem that he had been worried about for many years, he didn't expect it to come so quickly, although he knew based on his historical knowledge that maybe Zhu Youzhu would not die now, but when he thought of the brother who had grown up together since he was a child, he would have to suffer from illness from now on, his heart was as uncomfortable as a blocked sewer.

The strength of his body was completely drained after seeing the letter, and his mind was blank, not knowing what to do now and what not to do.

"Wen Xuan!" Zhang An's broken gong voice sounded at this inopportune time.

As soon as he walked into the room, he saw Zhang Ruru's appearance as a mournful concubine, and Zhang An was surprised.

In his impression, Zhang Ru is a person who can bear responsibility and withstand torture, he has known Zhang Ru for so long, he is the most down-and-out Zhang Ru when he was in the capital, and there will be no decadent words between the lines of the correspondence. However, at this moment, Zhang Ru's expression and the decline on his body really surprised Zhang An.

The old general walked up to Zhang Ru and asked softly, "Wenxuan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhang Ru didn't move, as if he hadn't heard someone call his name.

Zhang An pushed again, but Zhang Ru still didn't move.

He couldn't help but want to pull the other party up, and when he looked down, he saw the letter on the ground.

Thinking that the reason why Zhang Ru became like this was probably related to the letter that arrived that evening, Zhang An picked up the letter on the ground and looked at it carefully.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

The emperor actually vomited blood?

Vomiting blood was a great event in the era when Zhang Ru lived, let alone in this era when medical skills were not very developed.

Without X-rays and CT, doctors in this era could only rely on their own experience and records in the classics to judge what medicine could cure what diseases. If it is a new disease that suddenly appears, they may not even be able to diagnose it.

Zhang An put down the letter and raised his hand to give Zhang Ru a slap.

The severe pain woke Zhang Ru up from his contemplation, and he touched his face, which already had five finger prints, and asked blankly, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang An said angrily: "You are almost stunned, I read it without your consent, such a big thing happened, what are you going to do next?" ”

Zhang Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What else can I do, Zhang Wenxuan is just a grass farmer now." ”

Zhang An didn't believe his self-deprecation at all, and said: "Don't hide it, the brotherhood between you and Your Majesty has gone beyond the ordinary love of kings and ministers. Otherwise, you wouldn't have shown such an expression just now, if I hadn't slapped you, I guess you wouldn't know when you would be able to return to reality.

No matter what you want to do, my brother has your back.

You want to go back to Beijing, and my brother will accompany you into Beijing with troops.

You leave it alone, after my brother arranges all his cronies, he will go into hiding with you. ”

The young Zhang Ru made Zhang An find the feeling of his youth, even if the invincible Hou Ye is now down, he is still willing to make friends with his peers.

It was Zhang Ru's appearance that made him see the hope of the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty, and since the above had already planned not to use Zhang Ru, there was no need for him to continue to stick to his post.

High-ranking officials are essential for some, but dispensable for others. The Tartars committed the border, Zhang An enlisted in the army, and today under Taiping, he is also old, so naturally he no longer has so many worries.

Zhang Ru really didn't know what to say, and the words of this general, who had been a lifelong general, made him both moved and sad.

He wanted to go back, but the current situation in the capital did not allow people like him to appear again. As a friend, Zhu Youzhu may not continue to accept him.

But at the very least, he understood why he had been assigned all of a sudden, and he understood that.

After all, Zhu Youzhu is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is more often not being himself, but being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
