As soon as Yuan Heng left, a eunuch in the palace hurriedly came to the prince's mansion and said something to Yuan Zhong, Yuan Zhong's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly walked to the inner courtyard.

There were two maids at the gate of the courtyard, and when they saw Yuan Zhong, they hurriedly squatted down, Gonggong Yuan, the prince said that he didn't see anyone today.

"I'm in a hurry, quick." Yuan Zhong didn't want to ignore them, so he wanted to go over.

Unexpectedly, these two maids, like he did to Yuan Hui just now, directly blocked in front of him, and knelt on the ground, and one of them cried: "Father-in-law Yuan spares his life." ”

Yuan Zhong looked at their expressions, thinking that he had just knelt down in front of Yuan Heng, he shook his head and stomped his foot violently: "Get out of the way." ”

He pushed the two maids away and rushed in.

"Prince, Prince-"

As soon as he approached the door of the house, he heard someone inside shouting angrily: "Dog minion." ”

Zhu Gaochi was furious.

"Ahh

"Plop" Yuan Zhong knelt outside the door: "Prince, the big thing is not good, someone from the palace has come, the queen mother is seriously ill, seriously ill——"

His voice just fell.

Horn, horn, there were a few sounds in the room, and the sound was like someone was slapping him, and then Yuan Zhong heard the woman's screams.

After a few rings, it suddenly fell silent again.

Yuan Zhong didn't dare to breathe and knelt outside the door.

His expression was a little incredible, the queen was seriously ill, and when the prince heard it, his first reaction was to slap someone?

Just when he was a little overwhelmed, Zhu Gaochi's voice finally came from inside: "You come in." ”

Yuan Zhong wiped the sweat from his head, pushed it down carefully, and really pushed the door open.

When I went in, I found that there were quite a few people in the house.

There was a large wooden barrel on the east side, and two maids were adding water, which was supposed to be used for the prince's bath.

The prince on the west side was panting and sitting on the stool, his face was flushed, his face was unhappy, and he was glaring at Yuan Zhong.

There was a woman not far behind the prince, and Yuan Zhong didn't see who it was, it seemed to be a maid.

At this time, he also knew what the prince was doing, it was daytime, and Yuan Zhong didn't dare to say anything.

"Prepare the sedan chair and wait for me to change clothes." Zhu Gaochi still has some feelings for Queen Xu, after all, she is the best mother for him.

I was a little upset just now, and I didn't finish venting, so I was very unhappy, now calm down and hurry up to enter the palace.

"The slave knows." After Yuan Zhong finished speaking, he glanced at him carefully, and felt that the prince was not angry, so he hurriedly stood up again and ran to the prince's side.

Zhu Gaochi knew that he had something to say, and immediately waved his hand.

The three maids in the room left one after another, and one of them walked a little wrong, and his clothes were not properly dressed.

Zhu Gaochi picked up a glass of water on the table.

Yuan Zhong bent down and bowed his head and whispered: "The official army was defeated in Guizhou, and Xue Lu lost 100,000 soldiers. ”

“。。” The teacup that Zhu Gaochi had just handed to his mouth stopped, as if it had been pointed, and stopped in mid-air.

Yuan Zhong didn't dare to look at him, and said, "Governor Liu Sheng and Ningyang Bo Chen Mao just came to see the prince together. ”

The news of the defeat of the official army had just reached the prince's mansion, and because the prince was nowhere to be seen today, he didn't have time to tell the prince.

Just now, Yuan Zhong just used this excuse to send Liu Sheng and them.

Yuan Zhong, an uneducated eunuch, originally wanted to express the prince's anxiety about state affairs, but in Yuan Hui's opinion, it seemed to have a different meaning.

Of course, in fact, the prince's reaction was even more exaggerated than not eating meat.

Zhu Gaochi didn't even hear what Yuan Zhong said about Liu Sheng and Chen Mao, and he almost forgot about Empress Xu's serious illness in his mind.

Gao Xu won? 100,000 officers and soldiers lost their divisions? How so?

Panic, anger, unwillingness, dissatisfaction, all kinds of complex emotions surged into Zhu Gaochi's mind in an instant.

His body soon began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Bang" Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi shook his hand fiercely, and the teacup in his hand turned into a rotten cup on the ground.

"Slaves deserve to die." Yuan Zhong hurriedly knelt down, and he didn't dare to raise his head on the ground.

"Xue Lu, this waste." Zhu Gaochi roared angrily, the expression on his face was the same as Zhu Di just now, twisted into a ball, and even looked even more hideous, and his voice roared like thunder: "Waste-—— waste-waste-"

Yuan Zhong shivered on the ground.

Suddenly.

"You dog minion." Zhu Gaochi roared and stood up, moving quickly and quickly.

He has been getting fatter and fatter in recent years, and when he usually sits there, Yuan Zhong has to work hard to help him up.

Today, somehow, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he suddenly stood up and kicked Yuan Zhong is face: "Why didn't you say it earlier, why didn't you say it earlier--—— dog slave"

"The slave is wrong, the slave and the maid should die-" Yuan Zhong cried and screamed, but he didn't dare to hide, and he was even more afraid that the prince would fall if he couldn't stand steadily.

Zhu Gaochi held the table with one hand, and even kicked his feet, but he didn't really make any effort, not that he didn't want to exert himself, but he was really tired.

After kicking his feet twice, he couldn't breathe a little, his body shook, and he quickly sat back down, his face was blue and white for a while, and sweat was pouring down on his forehead.

"Prince, go and see the queen mother." Seeing this, Yuan Zhong hurriedly said this.

Only then did Zhu Gaochi react: "Dog minion, I'll settle accounts with you in the future." ”

The Prince's Mansion immediately arranged a carriage.

Originally, Zhu Gaochi liked to sit in a sedan chair, but the sedan chair was too slow, so it was changed to a carriage.

After entering the imperial city, there was already a sedan chair waiting for him.

Zhu Di was not allowed to sit in a sedan chair in the imperial city, but Empress Xu fought hard to win the privilege of sitting in a sedan chair in the imperial city for her eldest son.

Seriously, Kunning Palace is on the northernmost side of the imperial city, and the Xuanwu Gate in the north is usually not open, so let Zhu Gaochi enter from the south and walk to Kunning Palace, without a sedan chair, he may walk for two hours.

On the way over the carriage, Yuan Zhong reported a few more words to him, and Zhu Gaochi learned that Liu Sheng and Chen Mao had just come to visit him, and Yuan Hui had also come.

Liu Sheng was Zhang Yu's subordinate at the time of Jingjing, and Zhang Yu has always supported the crown prince.

After Zhang Fu took over, although it was not as obvious as Zhang Yu, he definitely still supported the prince, so Liu Sheng was not surprised to come to see him.

But it was the first time for Chen Mao to come to the door, and after the prince heard it, his mood instantly improved a lot.

"Why did Chen Mao come to the door?" Zhu Gaochi glanced at Yuan Zhong kneeling in the distance with a little disgust.

Because he took the carriage, Zhu Gaochi had something to tell Yuan Zhong, so he called Yuan Zhong into the car.

But there is a smell on the eunuch's body, and now it is summer again, and there is still a strange smell coming from the curtain of the carriage.

Yuan Zhong didn't dare to approach the crown prince, and knelt far away near the door of the carriage.

"Liu Sheng's son, Liu Pu, married Chen Mao's eldest daughter Chen Huiyin."

It turns out that there is this relationship here, so Liu Sheng should have brought Chen Mao to the crown prince.

Chen Mao's father Chen Heng died in the Jingjing, and Chen Heng was not born in the Yanwang lineage in the Jingjing, and had a bad relationship with other generals Xu Zhong, Li Bin, Tang Yuan, Zheng Heng, Guo Liang, etc., so after Chen Mao's father's death, there were really not many generals in the army who could make friends.

The original history was in Yongle for 20 years, Chen Mao's third daughter also married Zhu Di, when Zhu Di was sixty-three years old, Chen Mao's youngest daughter was only a teenager, two years later Zhu Di died, Chen Mao's youngest daughter Chen Lifei was buried according to the Ming system, and she was not yet 20 years old when she died, which was very miserable.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while: "The day after tomorrow, summon Liu Sheng and Chen Mao over, and I will meet with them." ”

Tan Qing, who supported him the most in Jingnan, fell in Guangxi, Xue Lu fell in Guizhou, and Zhu Gaochi also hoped that more generals could support him.

Yuan Zhong nodded in agreement.

"What about Yuan Hui?" Yuan Zhong mentioned Yuan Hui again.

Zhu Gaochi thought about it again and sighed: "Let's go back and go to Yuan Hui's house." ”

Yuan Zhong nodded thoughtfully, the prince is still clear, although Yuan Hui does not have military power and is not a general in commanding the army, but at this time, he may be much more useful than Liu Sheng and Chen Mao.

When Zhu Gaochi arrived at Kunning Palace, many people were already on the scene, and of course Emperor Zhu Di was there.

He first met his father, and then came to the bed, only to see that Queen Xu's face was like dirt, her eyes were slightly closed, her face was almost bloody, and she was in a very bad state.

In history, Empress Xu did not die until next year, but this year, because Zhu Gaoxu rebelled, Empress Xu was stimulated, and she washed her face with tears every day, and her illness broke out in advance and aggravated.

Probably sensing that her baby son was coming, Queen Xu slowly opened her eyes, and immediately squeezed out a loving color on her face: "Gao Chi is here." ”

"Mother." Zhu Gaochi knelt in front of the bed crying bitterly, and the hands of the mother and son were clasped tightly.

Zhu Di looked at the mother and son distraughtly, he was worried about the war in Sichuan and Guangxi, but he didn't expect Queen Xu to fall ill again.

This made him even more anxious.

Empress Xu must be his beloved, there is no doubt about it.

Most ancient people were designated by their parents to marry first and then love, but Zhu Di was with Queen Xu for more than two years before he got married, which is equivalent to two years of love for modern people.

Queen Xu suddenly fell ill, and Zhu Di became even more irritable.

After Zhu Gaochi came, Zhu Di found the imperial doctor and ordered them to cure Empress Xu no matter what.

When talking to the imperial doctor, Zhu Di swept his eyes and saw a graceful and graceful figure, he turned his head and confirmed that it was Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin came from Beiping, still like in Beiping, found a Taoist temple to live on, and made a living by chanting scriptures and learning Taoism.

She seemed to be thinking about her thoughts today, and looked down at the ground.

Seeing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but think that Queen Xu told him about this a few days ago and asked him to marry his sister Xu Miaojin.

But Empress Xu opened her mouth before, but was rejected by Xu Miaojin, what Empress Xu meant was that you were King Yan at that time, and now you are the emperor, I am afraid she will not refuse.

Moreover, if you are afraid of being rejected again, and directly issue an edict in the form of a holy decree, then Xu Miaojin will definitely not be able to refuse.

At that time, Zhu Di was a little moved when he heard it, but he didn't expect Queen Xu to worry so much about him.

Perhaps, Queen Xu also knows that she is probably not good anymore and wants to find a good wife for her husband, and Xu Miaojin must be the most suitable new queen in her eyes.

If there was no matter of Zhu Gaoxu rebelling, Zhu Di would still be very willing to pay attention to this matter.

But lately, he has been anxious, and he has a kung fu love affair.

Just when Zhu Di was thinking about his thoughts, he suddenly heard Queen Xu and the prince crying, and then it seemed that the prince was saying something, it was better to let Gao Xu come back to be the prince, and the retainer only wished that his mother would be healthy and the whole family would be harmonious, and it would be useless not to be a prince.

But Queen Xu couldn't hear this kind of thing, so she cried when she heard it, touched the prince's head and said that Gao Chi was the most sensible.

Zhu Di was extremely annoyed when he heard it.

Everyone is a fox for thousands of miles, what are you pretending to be pure.

It seems that I made you the prince and forced the rebel son to rebel, but it was my fault?

Zhu Di looked at the prince with a serious expression, closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath, at this time, for the first time in his heart, he regretted the decision to make the prince in a hurry.

In addition to regretting the establishment of the son, he regretted that he was established too early, if he delayed for a few years, waited for his country to be stable, and let the rebel stay in Beijing for a few years, the whole situation would be different, and no matter how much the rebel son planned, it would be in vain.
