Chapter 387: Tuogu
Historically, Zhu Youqi's death was on June 17.
On June 16, it stands to reason that it has been two days since King Ning rebelled...... This is based on the fact that the butterfly effect of Zhu Hao's arrival in this era did not affect Zhu Chenhao's decision-making.
That afternoon, Zhu Hao was still giving lessons to Zhu Si, Jing Hong, and Lu Bing, and Tang Yin came over temporarily to inform him and asked Zhu Hao and Zhu Si to go with him to see King Xing.
"Isn't my father's condition much better? My father's appetite has improved a lot in the past two days, and he is still smiling when he sees me. ”
When Zhu Si followed Tang Yin out of the house, listening to Tang Yin's implication that he wanted to discuss the future, Zhu Si's face changed instantly, and he asked.
Tang Yin didn't know how to explain it.
Zhu Hao persuaded on the side: "The prince will look at it a little, and he will know when he arrives." ”
This rare place to meet King Xing is not in the study, but in the bedroom prepared for King Xing alone, which has always been his place to recuperate, in a courtyard in the west of the inner courtyard, before entering the room, you can smell a strong smell of herbs, very pungent.
But the people who came in and out of the place had long been accustomed to the smell, and everyone's faces were calm, as if they could predict what the final outcome would be.
"Shizi, are you here? Mr. Tang and Young Master Zhu, please. ”
Zhang Zuo personally came out to greet him.
There is no need to report, behind him are several eunuchs of the Chengfeng Division, and some people are even holding a booklet ready to record at any time, looking at this battle, it seems that King Xing is really going to be on his deathbed.
But after entering, I saw Zhu Youqi leaning on the soft pillow, talking to Yuan Zonggao, and it didn't feel very similar, as Zhu Si said, Zhu Youqi's spirit looked much better than before, and it was hard to imagine that this was a person who was going to die in a day.
As for what the return to light...... You can't go back for days in a row, right?
"Mr. Tang is here?"
Zhu Youqi was able to speak, his voice was clear, and he seemed to be in a good situation.
In the corner next to him, there was an extra person dressed in a straight shirt, with a Confucian scarf on his head, who looked like a fairy wind and bones, like a Taoist priest, this person had never appeared in the palace before, Zhu Hao paid special attention to the fact that there was a medicine box in front of him.
Zhu Hao probably knew it in his heart.
If Zhu Youqi was in a bad mood before, it was because he was tortured by illness, and although this Taoist priest had no ability to cure the disease, he had some mental painkillers to relieve the pain, and that thing was also contraband in this era, but in order to make Zhu Youqi feel better before his death, Zhu Youqi would rather choose to take it.
Even Zhu Youqi himself knew that those pills could not cure the disease, and would even aggravate the condition.
Hospice care has been difficult to be valued by traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times, which is also a difficult problem in medicine.
……
……
In the palace, almost all the characters with heads and faces came.
It is impossible to squeeze so many people into a small bedroom, so those who are in the back of the room can only stand outside the room, and some are almost standing on the threshold.
Zhu Hao is Zhu Si's husband, and he has also made a lot of contributions to the palace, and he can stand in the inner room near the head of the bed, and only Yuan Zonggao, Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin are the three people in front of him...... Even if Zhu Youqi wants to be on his deathbed, it is estimated that he is talking to these three people.
Jiang Lun came a little later and brought his son Jiang Rong to the meeting.
It's just that I didn't see Princess Jiang, and I expected that there were some things that were inconvenient for outsiders, and Zhu Youqi would tell his wife and son alone, so it would not be an outsider.
"Yuan Changshi doesn't need to be persuaded, this king knows the situation, and today he only talks about the future of the son...... There are also large and small affairs in the palace......"
Zhu Youqi came up and said something that made everyone present puzzled.
Yuan Zonggao came first, and talked to Zhu Youqi alone in the room, it is difficult to say whether Zhang Zuo heard the conversation between the two when he came out to greet him, even if he knew, it could only be a secret between Zhang Zuo, Yuan Zonggao and Zhu Youqi, and even Tang Yin, a latecomer, would be concealed, and he didn't want Zhu Si to know.
In this way, Zhu Hao has to think about it, what did Yuan Zonggao persuade?
Chase him and Tang Yin away? Can you say this when Zhu Youqi is dying? Or does it have something to do with the death of King Xing Zhu Youqi?
Zhu Hao couldn't be sure, so he could only listen to Zhu Youqi continue.
Zhu Youqi obviously couldn't rest assured of his son, pulled his son to his side, called everyone over one by one, and entrusted him, usually Zhu Youqi rarely spoke from the bottom of his heart like now, and even many subordinate officials forgot their responsibilities in the palace.
Seeking an errand in the palace, most of them are eating and waiting for death, and there are so many Yulu gets, except for Yuan Zonggao's Jinshi background, there are only a few subordinate officials present, and the other officials who are not in the stream are directly prisoners or students.
But Zhu Youqi seemed to remember everyone's names and contributions to the palace, praised them one by one in front of his son, and even told his son about some of the great contributions of sesame mung beans in the past.
Zhu Hao thought to himself: "Either King Xing is careful and remembers all these things about Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain, or someone has prepared in advance, Zhang Zuo doesn't have this mind, probably only Yuan Zonggao wants to take advantage of Tuo Gu to show his ability, and will do this kind of trivial thing for King Xing to win people's hearts." ”
"Mr. Yuan......"
Zhu Youqi suddenly called Yuan Zonggao.
Yuan Zonggao hurried over.
Zhu Youqi looked forward to it: "The prince is stubborn, and he has been causing trouble to you, and in the future, the prince's homework and the affairs of the palace will all depend on you." ”
This is to treat Yuan Zonggao as the chief minister.
Except for Zhang Zuo's eyes full of jealousy, no one else reacted too specially, it was obvious that no matter who King Xing trusted, it was natural to let Yuan Zonggao, who was the chief of the palace, be the chief when he was entrusted, but in terms of execution...... That's what it says.
Zhu Hao looked at Zhang Zuo's almost deformed face, and thought, Zhang Zuo, don't you think that when King Xing is dying, he will take your hand in front of everyone and say, the future son will be entrusted to you?
Even if King Xing really plans to entrust the prince to you, so many officials in front of him can't say that, what do you make those people in official positions think? King Xing only believes in the family slave and does not believe in the long history appointed by the imperial court? Who will work for Xingwangfu in the future?
"Xingwang...... Alas! ”
Yuan Zonggao's eyes were red, and his face was sad.
Zhu Hao suddenly remembered King Xing's unprovoked sentence Don't persuade him Yunyun, Zhu Hao thought to himself, could it be that Zhu Youqi moved the idea of ending the pain and suffering of himself?
I told a few people around me about this, and I may not even mention my wife and children, so Yuan Zonggao tried his best to persuade King Xing to give up this idea?
For many patients with terminal cancer, the pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow is unimaginable to ordinary people, and that is still with the help of various analgesics......
In this era, it is a kind of torment to let a person who is in pain live, taking advantage of the fact that the Taoist priest provides the elixir with great side effects to improve the spirit, quickly confess the deathbed, and then choose to cut himself off...... For people like Zhu Youqi who have endured the pain of illness for a long time, it may be a relief.
Zhu Hao thought to himself: "Isn't there any deviation in history, and King Xing will still die of illness tonight?" ”
Zhu Youqi took Yuan Zonggao's hand again and said some of the experiences of the two from acquaintance to companionship, which is called a sincere love.
“…… I remember when I went to Anlu from Jingshi, my husband always encouraged me, saying that I could settle down when I got to the place, and I was scared all day long......"
When King Xing said this, the corners of his eyes were full of tears.
It stands to reason that King Xing's usurpation of the throne was not his subjective will, but was used by Wan Guifei, and Emperor Xiaozong was also lenient and benevolent, so he would not kill his younger brother, so it could only be that someone was alarmist in front of the young Zhu Youqi at that time.
Zhu Haoxin said, it turns out that I am not the only one who will shape the sense of crisis in front of children, and even you Yuan Zonggao used the same means at the beginning, right?
No wonder since the first day I entered the Xingwang Mansion, the Xingwang Mansion has always been heavily guarded against the outside world, in fact, it was made by you and Zhang Jingming, maybe the death of the eldest son of the Xingwang was also forcibly attributed by you to the murder of the imperial court.
Yuan Zonggao couldn't say a word in the face of such a sincere friend, student, and master.
At this time, he didn't care about who to calculate, and he wanted to comfort but didn't know what to say, so he could only cry silently.
"Mr. Tang......"
After Zhu Youqi put down his shriveled hand, he suddenly turned his gaze to Tang Yin.
Even Zhu Hao could feel that Zhu Youqi's eyes were a little hotter.
Tang Yin hurriedly walked over.
Zhu Youqi didn't pull Tang Yin's hand this time, maybe he felt that his relationship with Tang Yin was not so deep, after all, he and Yuan Zonggao had known each other for decades, and they were also teachers and friends, and others were incomparable, or he wanted to maintain his prestige in front of others.
"Before Mr. Tang entered the palace, Xingwangfu has always been in a corner of peace, and this king never thought that Xingwangfu could make a great name in Huguang and even the entire Ming Dynasty, and it has its own prestige and reputation......"
As soon as these words came out, even Yuan Zonggao heard something wrong.
Zhang Zuo instantly turned his jealous gaze to Tang Yin.
Isn't that clear?
Zhu Youqi was also sincere to Yuan Zonggao just now, right? But he only told him to take care of the affairs of the palace and instructed the prince to teach him...... But when I came to Tang Yin, I was clearly saying that before you entered the palace, I, King Xing, was just an inconspicuous local vassal king, but since you came, King Xing has a chance to compete in the world.
Yuan Zonggao and Tang Yin, which is more important, whose ability is higher, can be distinguished from Zhu Youqi's words alone.
Zhu Hao saw Yuan Zonggao's self-deprecating face, and secretly thought: Zhu Youqi is not a fool, and what he said is not against his will, it is precisely because of his deathbed that there is no need to beat around the bush.
Although Tang Yin has the factor of my help, he does everything himself, and when he treats a child like me, he can also humbly ask for advice, and obey the dispatch, just this bearing and responsibility to do things are not comparable to the old and serious pedantic pedant like you Yuan Zonggao.
Lao Yuan, you can't help but admit the gap!
