Chapter 208: The Emperor Dies
When Han Qi heard this, he bit his lip and looked at him stunned for a long time before he said fiercely,
"Wei Wu, you haven't married me yet, if you die, I will take your money and find a man to marry!"
Wei Wu was furious when he heard this,
"If anyone dares to marry you, Lao Tzu will strangle him if he crawls out of the ground!"
Han Qi responded,
"You don't want me to marry someone else, take good care of yourself!"
Wei Wu nodded when he heard this, raised his right hand and wrapped her small shoulder in his arms,
"Third Miss rest assured! Although I am fighting for the future, I will never give my life for the future! I'm still waiting to live with you for the rest of my life! ”
……
Just as Wei Wu was talking to Han Qi, it was only half a day ahead, in the palace, above the imperial case, there was already a thick stack of folds in front of Emperor Hongzhi, and Mu Bin knelt down the steps.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang raised the dead, secretly summoned people from the rivers and lakes, but there are those who are unfavorable to the two of them, they will try their best to get rid of them quickly, according to the interrogation of the ministers, now there are 16 officials in the court who have been secretly harmed by them, including different methods, such as assassination or poisoning, creating accidents or falsifying suicides, etc., and the list is also ......on the case of His Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi stretched out his hand to open a glance and ten lines, and his face turned blue when he saw it, and roared angrily,
"They still have the royal law like this, and do they still have me and the court in their eyes!"
A sentence came out of the mouth, but there was a sudden cough,
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Lu Cong, who was behind him, immediately took a handkerchief and stepped forward, but before he could get close, Emperor Hongzhi spurted out a mouthful of black blood, splashing Lu Cong's face,
"Your Majesty!"
This discoloration screamed, but saw that Emperor Hongzhi had fallen backwards on his back, fortunately Mu Bin saw that the opportunity was not good, and stepped forward with an arrow, reaching out to catch Emperor Hongzhi,
"Your Majesty!"
The two of them looked at Emperor Hongzhi again, his face was like gold paper, and his breath was like a gossamer!
"Summoning the Imperial Doctor! Summoning the Imperial Doctor! ”
The two of them shouted loudly, and the little eunuch outside ran out as if flying,
"Summoning the Imperial Doctor! Summoning the Imperial Doctor! ”
The shrill voice echoed in the sky above the empty Forbidden City, and after the imperial doctor came forward for diagnosis and treatment in three waves in succession, all of them came out with solemn faces, kneeling down and kowtowing to Queen Zhang, who heard the news.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty's dragon body has been accumulated for a long time, and she has taken a lot of pills that hurt the root cause before, and now ...... It's ...... now It's already ...... The oil is running out! ”
When Empress Zhang heard this, her face immediately turned pale, tears burst out of her eyes, she held the veil tightly, shook her head again and again, and her head was full of pearls and emeralds.
"Nonsense! Nonsense! Your Majesty is only thirty and six this year, it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can there be a sign of returning to heaven, it must be...... It must be that you are not skilled in medicine and refuse to treat him wholeheartedly! ”
Saying a few words of the case at hand,
"Someone! Drag all these mediocre talents out of the whole palace and beat them with a cane! ”
When the doctors heard this, they all kowtowed and begged for mercy,
"Niang Niang Mingjian! Niangniang and I are also doing our best to help, but we can't do anything! ”
"Nonsense! Nonsense, you're all a bunch of nonsense! ”
Empress Zhang burst into tears, her delicate body trembled, and her jade pointed at the kneeling person and waited,
"You are all ...... All of them should be ...... All of them were killed...... Rod! ”
There was a mourning below, and when he was being dragged out by the guards one by one, Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a red round-necked dragon robe, was picking up his robe and came in.
"Stay!"
This one called a few guards,
"Leave it all alone!"
Everyone was ordered to hurriedly let go and retreat to the side, Zhu Houzhao stepped forward to see Queen Zhang, who was grieving and wiping away tears.
"Queen Mother, the sons rushed over when they heard the news in the East Palace, how is the dragon body of the father now?"
When Empress Zhang saw her son coming, she was like having the backbone of the Lord's heart,
"My son, you ...... Your father ......"
As he spoke, he pointed his hand at the crowd,
"These quacks are incompetent, how can your father be seriously ill and die in the prime of life, it is clear that they are incompetent......"
Zhu Houzhao was shocked when he heard this, and waved his hand and said,
"Queen Mother, this is not the time to pursue these things, let's go and accompany my father!"
After that, she took off her robe and ran inside, Queen Zhang hurriedly followed her son in, and saw Zhu Houzhao lifting the curtain, Emperor Hongzhi on the dragon bed, but his face was like gold paper and his lips were like wax, and his eyes were already sloppy.
"Father!"
Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and knelt on the pedal in front of the bed with a pop,
"Father!"
Emperor Hongzhi heard his son's call, and his eyes were a little bright.
"My Emperor!"
The thin fingers moved, and Zhu Houzhao hurriedly reached out and grabbed it,
"Father's ......"
Emperor Hongzhi held his son's hand and sighed slowly,
"Father's original ...... I was thinking...... Until you get married, now it seems that the sky will not die, but I am afraid of ...... I'm afraid I can't wait! ”
Zhu Houzhao howled and cried when he heard this,
"Father!"
Emperor Hongzhi moved his fingers and stroked his son's head and said,
"My son is unrestrained by nature, but he is pure in heart, if ...... If you are not born in ...... Born in the emperor's family, I am afraid of ...... I'm afraid I'll have to live a happier life, father...... My father originally wanted to wait for you to grow up and let you take on this heavy responsibility, but now ...... Now...... Now these thousands of miles are about to fall on my son's shoulders......"
"Father!"
Zhu Houzhao only shook his head and cried now, and Emperor Hongzhi looked up to the sky and sighed,
"Help me up, while I still have some spirit now, summon them in, I still have to explain the future!"
Zhu Houzhao cried and got up to help Emperor Hongzhi, Empress Zhang saw it on the side, and came forward to help, and the two worked together to help Emperor Hongzhi.
"Help me to the bookcase!"
Emperor Hongzhi staggered to sit on the bookcase, and asked Zhu Houzhao to study ink but to write down the edict.
"I bow down, look up to Pixu, and ascend to the great treasure for eight years out of ten, respect the heavens and the people, and be filial to the truth...... The crown prince is intelligent, benevolent and filial, and is born with nature, and is suitable for the emperor's ......"
An edict was written for an hour, but it was written and stopped, and it was written and stopped, and it was until the end.
“…… The edict is heard by the world! ”
When a few words were already exhausted, it was messy, and finally gave up and threw away the imperial pen, sighing,
"That's it! Declare...... Xuan Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian met ......"
Lu Cong went outside to announce the decree, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly helped Emperor Hongzhi to turn back to the dragon bed, Zhu Houzhao and Empress Zhang knelt in front of the couch and said,
"Your Majesty, are you hungry?"
Empress Zhang asked, listening to Emperor Hongzhi's hum, she hurriedly summoned the little eunuch to serve water, and personally sent it to serve Emperor Hongzhi with water, Emperor Hongzhi took a sip before turning his head to look at Empress Zhang and said with a wry smile,
"I've been together for 18 years, and now I'm only afraid to ...... I'm going to get ahead of you! ”
Empress Zhang cried,
"Your Majesty is so ruthless to leave your concubines alone, leaving your concubines, mothers and sons helpless, so not desolate, Your Majesty must not abandon your concubines!"
Emperor Hongzhi also had tears in the corners of his eyes when he heard this, and said with a long sigh,
"This is providential, not ...... If I don't want to, I can't...... Can ......"
As for this, but her breath was short, her eyes were distracted, and Queen Zhang and the crown prince were shocked when they saw this, and they hurriedly shouted,
"Doctor! Doctor! ”
The imperial doctors who were waiting outside were busy coming in to administer needles, and after a first aid, Emperor Hongzhi's breath was a little slower, and his eyes returned to clarity.
At this moment, the shrill voice of the little eunuch outside reported that Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang had come to see them.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly,
"Xuan!"
Raising his hand to let the prince and the queen retreat aside, the three cabinet ministers entered the room, and saw Emperor Hongzhi sitting on the dragon bed, but his eyes were bright, the corners of his mouth were smiling, his face was like gold paper, and his cheeks had a strange ruddy color.
"Your Majesty!"
The three of them stepped forward to salute, and then greeted the queen and the prince, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and raised his hand to let the three of them get up,
"Three gentlemen, please!"
But he asked the little eunuch to move the stool over, and the three of them sat down carefully, but they didn't dare to sit down, and only went up to the small side, and saw that Emperor Hongzhi recruited Zhu Houzhao to come over.
"Houzhao, go and get my edict!"
The three of them couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the word "edict".
"Your Majesty!"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and motioned to Zhu Houzhao to pass the edict to the three of them, and said as he spoke,
"I have been in power for more than 18 years, relying on the dedicated assistance of the three gentlemen, being frugal and restrained, diligent and loving the people, and conscientiously defending the way of Baotai, in order to be worthy of the ancestors, not to fall into the prestige of the ancestors, so far I dare not praise the merits, only sigh when I don't like me, God does not pity, I am afraid that I will now have to say goodbye to the three gentlemen!"
When the three of them heard this, they all knelt on the ground and cried,
"Your Majesty, how can you bear to abandon the old ministers, abandon the country!!"
Emperor Hongzhi sighed,
"The matter has come to this point, in vain, only my son is still young, and his heart is uncertain, and I hope that the three gentlemen will be tolerant and patient and teach more......"
The three of them were even more sad when they heard it,
"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to work for the country and your Majesty, and they will never give up!"
"Hmm!"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded, staring ahead, but he heard the wind outside the hall suddenly, blowing the palace curtains, and then suddenly turned the drama, whirring whirlwind whistling outside the hall, but he heard Emperor Hongzhi on the dragon bed suddenly sighed,
"Alas......"
When you look closely, you have closed your eyes and passed away!
"Your Majesty!"
"Father!"
……
After Wei Wu finished talking to Han Qi, seeing that it was not early, this carriage asked Han Zhong to slowly rush the carriage to the wicker alley, Wei Wu got out of the carriage and watched Han Qi enter the house, and then turned around and saw Liu Qing running over with sweat on his head,
"Boss! Top dog! Someone from the Jinyi Guard's yamen has been summoned! ”
Wei Wu frowned when he heard this,
"But what is it?"
It is said that he is seriously injured at home, and he should not be called back on an errand.
Liu Qing shook his head and said,
"It was Brother Wang Xing who came in person, saying that he was the commander to summon all the Jinyi Guards to return to the camp if he had an urgent matter!"
Wei Wu was shocked when he heard it, the former Wang Dahu said that those who eat under the name of the person will not care about it on weekdays, and will only summon people back when they meet the emperor's wedding, funeral, and wedding!
Weddings, funerals, weddings!
Wei Wu's heart jumped suddenly,
"At this time, the prince's wedding is not yet time, is it ...... Don't...... It's Your Majesty who has died! ”
Emperor Hongzhi's poor health is a matter known to the government and the opposition, and it is not difficult to guess!
