When people have it, they never know what kind of pain it will be when they lose it, because it is so beautiful, and they forget to cherish it. UC電子書@

Outside the imperial dining room, the warriors and eunuchs of the Forbidden Palace knelt on the ground, and swept away all the black pressed human heads at a glance.

Liu Jin Gu Dayong and the others were speechless, their expressions were full of confusion, they didn't understand why when His Majesty's life was in danger, the prince stubbornly made some soup in the imperial dining room.

They don't understand that it is because of years of inner palace battles that they have lost the last piece of pure land in their hearts, Zhu Houzhao is different, fortunately, this piece of pure land still exists in his heart, so he often does things that are considered willful and absurd by the world, and in this court, where people's hearts are already cold, there is no room for a young man whose heart is still hot.

Maybe only Qin Kan understands his feelings in the world, because Qin Kan also has a pure land in his heart, not much, but it exists.

The door of the imperial dining room was tightly closed, and there was a clanging sound from inside, accompanied by the crunch of dishes breaking from time to time, and Liu Jingu twitched violently with their cheeks every time it sounded.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Jin couldn't help it, and turned his head to look at Qin Kan: "Qin Qianhu, Your Highness...... Alas, how could a golden body be tinkering in such a place as the imperial dining room? If he is not happy, can't he find a few things that make him happy? Yesterday, a political envoy from Guangxi also sent two tigers into Beijing, and His Royal Highness was happy to watch it outside the cage for a while. ”

Qin Kan shook his head: "Gonggong Liu, His Royal Highness is not a child anymore. ”

Liu Jin was stunned: "The miscellaneous family watched His Highness grow up, why is it not a child?" Every time His Highness was unhappy, the miscellaneous family would bring a few novelties to him, and His Highness would laugh......"

Qin Kan smiled and glanced at Liu Jin lightly, the sympathy in his eyes flashed.

Liu Jin's face gradually became gloomy, he still caught the flashing gaze, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry and puzzled in his heart, he didn't understand why Qin Kan looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

Yes, Liu Jin doesn't understand.

From the ninth year of Hongzhi to enter the East Palace to serve the prince. Until Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, Liu Jin has been fooling Zhu Houzhao as a child, which is also the biggest reason for his death in the future.

More than an hour passed, and Zhu Houzhao's cry of joy suddenly came from the imperial dining room.

"Qin Kan, come in quickly, taste this taste, it seems to be much stronger than before......"

Qin Kan glanced at Liu Jin and walked into the imperial dining room with a smile.

Maybe it's the mercy of God. Zhu Houzhao, who has no talent for cooking, doesn't know how to make a mess in the imperial dining room, but he really made a bowl of delicious soup.

Qin Kan tasted it, smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "There is progress, it is indeed much stronger." ”

Zhu Houzhao's face blackened by the fire showed a smile, and he said excitedly: "Come on, bring this bowl of soup to the Qianqing Palace." ”

Liu Jin hurriedly came in, hunched over and carefully picked up the bowl of soup that condensed the prince's hard work.

A eunuch broke into the imperial dining room with a pale face, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao, he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty ...... just now I vomited blood again just now. ”

Zhu Houzhao trembled. The look of joy vanished, and his face turned pale all of a sudden. The body shook and looked around, Qin Kan's heart sank, and Zhu Houzhao's helpless eyes made Qin Kan's heart seem to twitch fiercely.

"What are you doing, hurry up and go to the Qianqing Palace!" Qin Kan shouted loudly, he didn't care about any monarch etiquette at this moment, he had a hunch that tonight would be the limit of Emperor Hongzhi. Missing the last side, Zhu Houzhao will regret it for the rest of his life.

Zhu Houzhao woke up like a dream, and cried loudly. Crying and turning his head to run, he rushed out of the imperial dining room like crazy, and a group of samurai and eunuchs hurriedly followed.

In the Qianqing Palace, the faint sandalwood lingers in the hall, and in the two purple gold incense burners in front of the couch, the curling green smoke rises, and the quiet hall is filled with a smell of death before death. …,

Countless eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the side of the hall, looking at the Ming Emperor on the bed with mournful expressions, Empress Zhang was wearing a phoenix robe, covering her face and whimpering and crying, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, as if she was afraid of scaring away her husband's fragile vitality.

The imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital knelt outside the gate of the palace, and the two imperial physicians Liu Wentai and Gao Tinghe, who were in charge of the emperor's illness, looked still sad, and their bodies were like sifting chaff and kowtowing.

On the side of the bed in the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi, who had vomited blood, finally woke up, staring blankly at the painted beams of the gold lacquer carved building on the hall.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang were urgently summoned into the palace, and they were kneeling in front of the couch at the moment.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was very pale, frighteningly white, almost not a trace of blood, his eyes were slightly open, the look in his eyes was dim, like a lamp without oil, and the chrysanthemum-like lamp swayed and struggled in the wind, as if it would be completely extinguished in the next moment.

Turning his head sideways, looking at the six old ministers and eunuchs in front of him who had assisted him for many years, Emperor Hongzhi smiled with difficulty.

"Gentlemen...... I'm going to go first. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jian and the other six people came out of grief, and finally couldn't help but cry on the ground, and their withered hands slammed the smooth floor, cursing the injustice of God from the bottom of their hearts, and cruelly took away one of the wisest and best emperors among the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty.

The smile on the corner of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth became more and more miserable, and he slowly glanced at the old minister who had been with him for many years, and his eyes gradually filled with tears.

"The life span is set for a few days, and I can't help it, all the secretaries are my great talents, why do you want to be that child?"

Liu Jian kowtowed and cried: "Your Majesty's next day and the end of the year, it is the time when you are heroic and majestic and show your ambitions, the Ming Dynasty is thriving under the governance of Your Majesty, and the prosperity of the Jiangshan Society is imminent, how can Your Majesty bear to abandon our old ministers?" The old minister only hates, the sky is unfair! ”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said weakly: "The way of heaven is fair, but our people in the world ask too much, and the greed is difficult to fill, thinking that when the first emperor was in power, Wan Guifei took power and bullied the government, I was the only flesh and blood of the first emperor, and my biological mother Ji secretly gave birth to me in the cold palace, and many righteous palace maids and eunuchs secretly raised me with rice noodles and gruel, and I was chased and killed by Wan Guifei's minions in the deep palace for six years, and countless palace maids and eunuchs sacrificed their lives to protect me, the old Empress Dowager Zhou, the eunuch Zhang Min, and the eunuch Huai'en...... These people have the grace of rebirth for me, a child who was almost killed, who would have thought that he could become an emperor and reign over the world for 18 years? …… Enough, God is fair to me, a peck and a drink, good and evil will be rewarded. ”

Liu Jian cried: "The first emperor neglected the government, the harem got power, the dynasty was disordered, the world was turbulent, how fortunate the Ming Dynasty was, the British lord saved the building and the arch of the world for 18 years, to make all industries recover, the treasury was full, this is the work of His Majesty." ”

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head slowly: "Daming is not as good as you say, Mr. Liu, don't coax me to be happy......"

There was a violent cough, and Emperor Hongzhi's pale face flushed slightly, and Empress Zhang hurriedly gently stroked his back.

Emperor Hongzhi gasped for a long time, looked at the six ministers in front of him, and said deeply: "...... Over the years, I have made you wronged, scolded, and broken your hearts because of political differences, everyone, I'm sorry, I've worked hard for you, if there is a next life, I will never be the emperor again, and I will meet you in the next life, I will abandon the worldly identity and etiquette, I only want to be a friend with your heart and soul, and repay your hardships in this life. ”

The emotional farewell words caused the six old ministers in the hall to cry again.

Emperor Hongzhi's expression was gradually full of worry, and he said slowly: "I have too many unfinished things, and I am unwilling to go!" The prince is kind, intelligent, benevolent and filial, and is a piece of jade that can be carved, but I was busy with state affairs in the past, neglecting the cultivation of the prince, and after my death, the prince ascended the throne, I am afraid that there are many actions that are not tolerated by the courtiers, and you are the old ministers of the Hongzhi Dynasty, bearing the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty. ”…,

Liu Jian and others knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

After explaining the aftermath, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be very tired and waved his hands tiredly.

"In this way, I can go in peace, you can retreat."

Liu Jian and the others kowtowed, got up crying, and slowly retreated to the door of the palace, and the six people stood by the door and looked at Emperor Hongzhi reluctantly, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be aware of it, and looked up at them and smiled hard.

The door of the hall slowly closed, and Emperor Hongzhi's last smile seemed to still linger in their eyes.

A generation of heroes who have assisted them for many years only left them with the last smile.

…………

…………

Silence returned to the Qianqing Palace, and the low sobs of the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids could be faintly heard.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Empress Zhang, who was crying in front of him, in a daze, and stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch her pretty face, but his hand was stretched out halfway but hung down weakly.

"Queen...... I have been busy governing the world all these years, not only neglecting the teaching of Houzhao, but also neglecting your favor, Queen, I'm sorry......" Emperor Hongzhi said with tears overflowing in his eyes: "The world has been governed by me for 18 years, talking about Zhongxing, in fact, it is still full of holes, my son is negligent in discipline, my wife is negligent in love, I still feel that I have failed in this life, and I have achieved nothing in my family and country......"

Empress Zhang cried: "Your Majesty, don't say that, you are a good emperor and a good father,...... He is also a good husband, he has counted all dynasties and generations, and only married one wife, for thousands of years, only His Majesty has one person, and the concubine can marry you, which is the greatest happiness in this life. ”

Raising his hand with great effort, caressing Empress Zhang's still smooth and satin-like face, Emperor Hongzhi sighed with tears in his eyes, and said: "If I can live for a day, even for an hour, I will abandon all the court affairs and government affairs, and the rest of the time will be with you, I just want to paint your eyebrows once as I did back then......

Empress Zhang looked at her husband in a daze, tears fell like rain, and finally couldn't help crying.

How much is left of the rest of the life of the most noble couple in the world?

I'm going to live tomorrow, and everything will come to pass
