Historically, Emperor Hongzhi died suddenly in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi due to wind and cold, and then the imperial physician Liu Wentai used the wrong medicine.

Xia Yuan used to think that he would wait until that time to stop this matter and save Emperor Hongzhi's life.

But now it is only the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, and there is still one year before the death of Emperor Hongzhi in history, also because of the wind and cold, but no one used the wrong medicine.

He thought that this has nothing to do with the question of whether to use medicine or not, and Liu Wentai's use of the wrong medicine in history is just an introduction, not the main reason.

Emperor Hongzhi has run out of oil because of the overwork of these years.

His health has always been bad, he stayed up all day to watch the twists and turns, he didn't sleep when he was young, he got up before the middle of the day, he only slept for two or three hours a day, and he even ate less.

And now the time of the collapse of the body has been advanced by a year, because of what.

Xia Yuan didn't know, but he felt that it should have something to do with him, after he entered the court in the past two years, compared to history, Emperor Hongzhi had more things to worry about.

So this became the reason for Emperor Hongzhi to become seriously ill in advance.

Perhaps, his heart is very chaotic, and it has been chaotic for the past few days.

Reason told him that Zhu Houzhao's early accession to the throne was beneficial to him, but emotionally, he was unwilling to let Emperor Hongzhi die, and he was extremely unwilling.

There are not many people and things that make him feel warm when he comes to this era, and Emperor Hongji is one of them.

From him, Xia Yuan did not feel any majesty and arrogance from the emperor, and the Hongzhi Emperor in his eyes was not like an emperor, but more like his elders.

In the emperor, perhaps Emperor Hongzhi is not a wise and martial emperor in the strict sense, but as an elder, as a relative, he is a gentle and respectable elder, and he is the person he is willing to get close to.

He wanted to save this elder and save this father-in-law, but he had no choice.

After returning from the Wa Kingdom, it was only a few days, and Emperor Hongzhi's condition deteriorated rapidly, with less time to wake up and more time to sleep, even to the point where he could not speak.

In the current Qianqing Palace, not only are there more than a dozen imperial doctors on duty in turn at any time, but even several elders of the six ministries of the cabinet have also worked in the corridor outside the Qianqing Palace.

The huge Forbidden City was quiet all day long, and all the eunuchs and palace maids had a heavy look on their faces, so they didn't even dare to make too much noise when they walked.

It seems that everyone accepts this reality, the reality that His Majesty the Emperor is approaching, but there are also people who do not, such as Empress Zhang

As Emperor Hongzhi's condition deteriorated rapidly, Empress Zhang became more and more gloomy, sometimes sitting in a trance, sometimes talking to herself.

She also invited many Taoist monks to enter the palace and open the altar in the Qianqing Palace, although the ministers were dissatisfied with this, this is not the wind of opening the palace and banning the Jiao field, but after all, they still didn't say anything.

A large number of monks and Taoists sit in the square of the Qianqing Palace, or chanting scriptures, or chanting Buddha, or the treasure is solemn, or the fairy wind bones, the scene is very grand, very spectacular, but not many people have the heart to see.

Everyone knows that these things are useless, and even Empress Zhang knows that when she invites these monks and Taoists, she is just looking for comfort, looking for comfort.

Sitting on the imperial steps of the Qianqing Palace, Xia Yuan looked at the monks and Taoists who were doing it again, but there was no focus in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There was still Zhu Houzhao sitting next to him, if it was usual, the two would have wanted to talk a little, but at this time, no one spoke, just sat quietly.

Zhu Houzhao curled up, his expression looked very lonely, his bloodshot eyes were bursting into the air, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Master, do you think the blessings of these monks and Taoists will be useful?" ”

This is not the first time he has asked like this, and Xia Yuan's answer to this is still, "I don't know." ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said slowly: "I think it should be useful." ”

"Hmm."

"Hongu has something to tell you."

"Your Highness said it.."

"When I went back to the East Palace last night, I heard a few companions on duty talking, as if they were very happy, saying that as long as my father died, His Royal Highness would be the emperor, and they would be able to follow the Huang Tengda."

Xia Yuan turned his head, and Zhu Houzhao continued: "It turns out that my father is seriously ill, and many people in this palace are pretending to be sad and sad, and those eunuchs in the East Palace are even more happy.

After hearing this, the palace couldn't wait to kill these people with a knife, and felt angry and sad in his heart, his father was like this, but these companions were so happy, but later, the palace figured it out again, it was the father of the palace, but not their father, why should they be sad and sad, the palace became the emperor, but it was beneficial to them.

This palace is thinking, how many people in this world are looking forward to their father's death, such as those in prison, they may wish that their father would die, and then the new monarch will ascend the throne and grant amnesty to the world, so that they can come out of prison, but father."

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao paused, and was silent for a while before saying: "This palace feels worthless for his father, he has worked hard all his life, he has not lived a few days of comfortable life, he is tired like this now."

"When I was a child, I saw my father busy with those notebooks and government affairs all day long. Later, when I went out of the cabinet to study, my father told me that I should study hard, and if I read well, I could be a good emperor in the future. But I don't want to be the emperor, when the emperor is tired, the emperor has to revise the recital all day, and he has to be busy with a lot of government affairs, and he can't even sleep. ”

"When the palace grows up, the palace knows that not every emperor is tired, and there are emperors who don't go to court all day long and ignore government affairs. him."

Zhu Houzhao's voice was a little choked, and he said a few times before he could continue: "Father, he is a diligent emperor, he works hard every day, he thinks about the people of the world, he is the ancestors of the country, he has never thought about himself, and now it is here, but few people are really sad and sad for him, but there are still people who are happy, this palace is angry, this palace feels cold, this palace feels cold, this palace is cold, and this palace is very cold in my heart." ”

“.”

Xia Yuan was silent, when Emperor Hongzhi said that I was actually afraid of death, he didn't know what to say, and now Zhu Houzhao said that he was cold, and he didn't know what to say.

Comforting people has never been something he is good at, it is his weakness, just like when Xiao Chuzi cried before, he could only hold her and say not to cry.

Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at the monks and Taoists in front of him who were chanting sutras and reciting Buddha, and then his eyes turned back to Xia Yuan, "If this palace ascends the throne, I will never learn from my father. My father thought about other people, the people, and the ancestors all day long, so he worked hard all day long, and finally ended up in the current situation. ”

"If he thinks more about himself, why not?"

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, "Bengong has ascended the throne, Bengong doesn't learn from him, Bengong has to think more about himself, don't think about others, how can Bengong be comfortable, how can Bengong come." ”

"Bengong knows that this will disappoint the godfather, but the palace doesn't want to be like him, and the palace doesn't want to be like his father, who has worked hard all his life, but in the end he is so sad and worthless."

PS: Oops, I made the brothers wait for a long time, I forgot to set a timer to release last night, I hurried back to release it as soon as I got off work, and for this reason I rejected the proposal of a beautiful colleague to have dinner together, really, don't lie to you, it's really a beautiful colleague.
