CHAPTER XIV
Perhaps, Sun Shixu's going, and going by himself in the future, may not be a good thing.
For Kangzi, in this world, the only relatives are her husband and children, and being able to be with them is the "luxury" she is most looking forward to in this life.
The eighth day of April.
The emperor suddenly contracted a vicious illness and was bedridden.
Hundreds of officials gathered in Kyoto to pray for the emperor's blessing.
The abbot of Tang Zhaoti Temple, Jiahe, and the monk came specially to do the Dharma for Emperor Chengming.
On the ninth day of the first month, Emperor Chengmei, who was on the sickbed, issued an order to make the second son Toyotomi Xiu the crown prince.
Three days later, on April 11, Emperor Chengming finally died after all.
On the same day, with the full support of the commander of the Ezo Department and the governor of the military stationed in Toei, Toyotomi Hide, who was eight years old, succeeded to the throne and sent an envoy to the suzerain, Ming Guo, to report the bad news and ask for canonization.
Just as Toei Kyoto was immersed in a sad atmosphere, a small boat sailed out to sea.
Far away on the open sea, the Ming fleet was moored and waiting for its arrival.
Admiral Peng Xiao was ordered by Baili Wuji to welcome Sun Shixu's return to China.
Over the years, gold and silver have been continuously transported back to the Ming Kingdom from Dongying, and then the copper and iron money eliminated from the Ming Kingdom has been transported to Dongying, and the most important thing is that a large number of goods from the Ming Kingdom have been dumped into Dongying.
As a result, there are few precious metals such as gold and silver in Dongying, and the flooding are copper and iron coins, and most of the goods on the market are made in the Ming Kingdom, such as silk products, sweet potato products, copper and iron products, and wine.
These achievements are inseparable from Sun Shixu's strong cooperation, if you want to talk about Sun Shixu's contribution to the Ming Kingdom. In the entire Ming Kingdom, except for Baili Wuji, Peng Xiao knows best.
How many supplies are shipped back to the Ming Kingdom each year. How many commodities have been imported into Dongying, Peng Xiao is naturally clear.
Sun Shixu, who met with Peng Xiao, shouted excitedly in his heart, he could finally return to the Central Plains, he could see his father and his son, and he could see Ziqing.
The journey from Dongying to the port of Jinling Mansion was long, and Sun Shixu stood at the bow of the ship every day to look westward, and every time he encountered the oncoming Ming Guotong merchant fleet. He would wave vigorously at the other person.
Peng Xiao couldn't help but smile when he looked at it, he understood Sun Shixu's mood at the moment, back then. It was Peng Xiao who sent Sun Shixu and Xu Shouren to Ezo Island, and now he personally welcomed them back to China.
When Sun Shixu and the others went to Dongying, it was still the state of Chu, and now. But it is already a Ming country. The unparalleled Ming Kingdom includes the Ming Kingdom of the entire world.
This kind of pride in the world, no matter who it is, will be stirred and irrepressible.
Peng Xiao's heart was also happy for Sun Shixu.
But no one would have thought that just as the fleet was heading towards Mingguo, something regrettable would finally happen.
After all, people can't win the sky, and the gears of the years are mercilessly twisted, whether they are nobles or pawns. There is no escape.
April 18, Jinling Province.
Sun Guangxian suddenly fainted during the early dynasty.
Baili Wuji was training the ten-year-old Baili Jingbei at this time. This kid is not as skilled as his sister Wen Jing at all, maybe he is the only son in Baili Wuji, and the second queen and the second concubine are all spoiled by him, so he becomes very willful.
Today, he actually peed in the inkstone of Baili Wuji's imperial study, and was caught by Baili Wuji, who happened to come in.
So, a fat beating is about to begin.
It was also at this time that the news of Sun Guangxian fainting came.
Since the Ming Kingdom transferred to internal affairs to recuperate, Baili Wuji has completely handed over political affairs to Xu Shiming Sanxiang, and he is a hands-off shopkeeper, and he spends time in the palace with the second queen and the second concubine and the children leisurely every day.
Therefore, now the early dynasty of the Ming Kingdom did not have the participation of the emperor, and even the early dynasty was not in the main hall, but in Zhongshu Province.
As long as it is not a decree that cannot be unified by the opinions of the three phases, it can be promulgated by the joint seal of the three phases, which is the only way to make yourself "lazy".
When Baili Wuji heard the news that Sun Guangxian had fainted, he left Baili Jingbei behind, and hurriedly ordered his attendants to notify the Imperial Medical Department to send someone for treatment, and at the same time set up the Zhongshu Province.
Baili Wuji thought that Sun Guangxian was just overworked, and he didn't expect the farewell between people to come so suddenly and irresistibly.
After being diagnosed by the Imperial Physician Ling and several Imperial Physicians, he came to the conclusion that Sun Guangxian was old and had reached the point of exhaustion.
The meaning is quite clear, that is, the medicine stone is useless.
Baili Wuji is in a hurry, Sun Shixu has already set off, on the way, if Sun Guangxian dies of illness at this time, how can Baili Wuji explain to Sun Shixu?
What's more, he personally promised that Sun Guangxian would definitely be able to see his son again, but he saw that the promise was about to be fulfilled, but it was a failure all of a sudden.
Baili Wuji looked at Sun Guangxian in a coma, the haggard face and the white hair on his head made Baili Wuji's heart feel guilty, and in order to be "lazy", he pressed all political affairs on Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian, and Feng Dao, perhaps because of this, Sun Guangxian shortened his life expectancy due to fatigue.
Baili Wuji ordered the imperial doctor to use the best medicinal materials to save Sun Guangxian's life as much as possible. On the one hand, he ordered the port of Jinling Mansion to send a ship to the east, ordering Peng Xiao to return at the best speed.
That night, Sun Guangxian woke up.
Baili Wuji, Xu Shiming and others, who had been waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward.
No, Sun Guangxian raised his hand slightly to refuse.
Sun Guangxian said softly: "Your Majesty, please retreat left and right, the minister has something to play." ”
Baili Wuji hurriedly asked Xu Shiming to clear everyone out, leaving only the Imperial Doctor Ling and others to wait outside.
When Baili Wuji walked to the bed, Sun Guangxian's spirit began to improve.
Sun Guangxian smiled slightly and said, "The emperor is about to lose his word." ”
Baili Wuji's heart was shocked, he naturally knew what Sun Guangxian was referring to.
Baili Wuji hurriedly comforted him: "Sun Xiang is relieved, Yuan Zhi is returning to the sea, and he will come back in a few days, and I ask Sun Xiang to take care of his health." ”
Sun Guangxian shook his head and said, "The emperor doesn't have to care too much, the minister doesn't mean to blame." Whether you see it or not, it all depends on the will of heaven, and the minister knows it, but I am afraid that he will not be able to see it. ”
Baili Wuji felt a pain in his heart and was waiting to be comforted.
Sun Guangxian stopped: "The emperor doesn't need to persuade again, the minister's body is known by the minister." The minister still has unfulfilled wishes to play to the emperor. ”
Baili Wuji knew that maybe this was Sun Guangxian's last words to himself, Baili Wuji choked up and said: "Sun Xiang, please say, I just listen." ”
Sun Guangxian turned his face back, turned his face to the sky, and thought: "There are two things that the emperor wants to play, one is official affairs, the emperor was born in Nanping, hibernated in Padang, rose in Gyeongju, and the minister watched carefully all the way. Now that the Ming Kingdom has been powerful all over the world, as long as the emperor adheres to the original political strategy, uses the poor people to hold the rich people hostage, and then rules the poor people with the Hao Minister, it is not a problem to come to the Ming Kingdom for hundreds of years to inherit.
