Chapter 450: Time Is Irreversible: I and My Concubines (4)

Before Zhu Qiyu died, he told a lot of secrets.

As soon as it was June, Zhu Qiyu fell ill, this time he was really sick, he couldn't write anymore, and it became difficult to speak.

Moreover, when I eat, I vomit and basically can't eat.

Supported by hanging water.

"I've lived enough."

"Ninety-two years old, don't say that the emperor is also a long-lived person among the people."

"Fourth, this time the country is really going to be handed over to you."

"I can no longer support you, carry the weight forward, all the burdens have to be borne by you, I can no longer shelter you from the wind and rain."

These words made Zhu Jianyu sad: "Dad, it can be cured." ”

"Oh, it's gone, don't let me suffer this sin."

Zhu Qiyu said: "In my life, the only regret is that this set of theories has not been written, if I had written it ten years earlier, it would have been great." ”

"Heaven is not kind to me, I have lived to be ninety-two years old, and I don't want to borrow another five hundred years."

"Tired, tired, it's time to sleep."

"You always think I'm afraid of death."

"Actually, I'm just not worried about Daming."

Zhu saw that the tears broke down and kept nodding.

"It's okay, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, don't be sad."

"After I die, burn my body and divide it into five parts, one for each of the east, west, north and south borders, and one for burial in Beijing, for future generations to sacrifice."

"Whether it is sacrificed or not, and the amount of incense, it doesn't matter to me."

"I only hope that the prosperous era we created can continue."

Zhu Jianlu was frightened: "Dad, burn your body?" Do you want to split the corpses of five horses? Daddy, are you going to put your son to death? ”

If he dares, the people of the world will dare to pull him off the horse.

Besides, he didn't dare.

His father is the emperor of the ages, even if the Ming Dynasty is gone in the future, future generations will sacrifice him, such a hero of the world, after being crushed to pieces, five horses and corpses?

Oh my God, if he dares to do it, he will be scolded for 10,000 years.

"I will make a clear decree." Zhu Qiyu doesn't care about this.

But Zhu didn't dare to kill him.

"Do as I say." Zhu Qiyu insisted.

Zhu Jianyu just pretended to agree that he could listen to his father in everything, this matter is absolutely not good.

"I will be the orthodox emperor and buried on Ezo Island, and the world will scold me for being ruthless."

"I want to bury myself in all parts of the border of the Ming Dynasty, and after I die, I will turn into a protector and protect the Ming Dynasty!"

"Remember, there are no funeral goods in my mausoleum!"

"Nothing is with the funeral!"

"After I am, we will cancel the funeral, cancel the funeral and other systems that are not conducive to the people's livelihood."

"I want to be cremated, because I want to bring a good head."

"Da Ming needs to use my corpse to guard the world, and when he loses his territory if he is not filial to his children and grandchildren in the future, he also thinks about it, his ancestors' tombs have been lost, what qualifications does he have to be the emperor?"

"Since then, the emperor has to be promising, and the incompetent are not worthy of being the king."

"Since then, the Ming Dynasty can expand its territory, but it must not lose an inch of land! The king who loses an inch of land is not worthy of being the emperor, and the world will fight him! ”

"Since then, we have clearly established a new system and a new direction, and we will continue to seek changes in the new wave, pioneer and innovate, and we will not waver."

"Fourth, I believe in you and my grandson, but I can't see it and don't dare to say it."

"I hope you can set an example, so that future generations can learn from me and you two generations of emperors."

"Okay, that's all for today."

"Let me rest."

Zhu Jianyu thought that the old man said that he was hungry and wanted to eat.

He asked the eunuch to heat the porridge, and if the old man could eat it, he would feed it twice.

But Zhu Qiyu couldn't eat it.

When Zhu Jianxia left the hall, many officials were waiting anxiously, Zhu Jianyu shook his head, Liu Daxia's body was weak, and he almost fell.

It's over, the old emperor is afraid that he will die, and his official fortune will come to an end.

"Don't cry here, Your Majesty hasn't eaten for a few days, and you're in an irritable mood, don't cry."

Zhu Jianyu sighed and said, "Taisun, you go into the palace to serve your grandfather." ”

Zhu Youjun was soaked in tears.

"Wipe it dry, don't let Your Majesty look at it."

Zhu Jianyu reprimanded: "Everyone is not allowed to cry in front of His Majesty, give Gu Le a little bit, and coax the old man to finish the last journey!" ”

But the courtiers couldn't help crying.

"If you want to cry, go back and cry! Give a lonely smile here! ”

Zhu Jianyu went to the East Palace to deal with government affairs, and he and Zhu Youqi took turns to serve the old man.

They don't have to wait, they just look after them, the old man will say something, and they are in charge of being the audience.

"Grandpa, your grandson cooks your favorite porridge and boils your favorite porridge, you try to take a sip, and your grandson feeds you." Zhu Youjun is like coaxing a child.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I can't drink it, I don't drink it." ”

"Everyone has this experience, but I am still awake and my brain is conscious." Zhu Qiyu's voice was very low and weak.

"Taisun."

"I don't worry about your father, your father's ability is the best of all my sons."

"You're what I'm most worried about."

"I tell you two things, first, quit bad habits, exercise more, eat lightly, restrain desires, and maintain a long life."

"You are the future emperor, you die early, it will make the court turbulent and the world uneasy."

"I don't want you to live to be ninety, seventy! Live to be seventy! ”

"Even if you don't want to deal with the government in your later years, you can deal with it to Lang'er, just like me, and give it to your father and son."

"Don't be too greedy for power, exercise the prince more, people will die after all, and you must learn to let go when you should let go."

"Second, the education of the royal family is the top priority."

"In the future, there will be no territory to divide in the world, and you will have to be a prince in Beijing, so education is very important, a virtuous king will be praised by the people, and an evil king will make my Zhu family bear infamy."

"A pity is like a murderer!"

"Lang'er, you have a good education, and I am very satisfied with my great-grandson."

"Regarding the planning of the imperial family, I can't predict, your father is a reckless character, I will hand over the power of planning to you, do you think it is better to follow the government of the Tang Dynasty, or the government of the Two Song Dynasty, or the Hongwu Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty, you can choose as you like."

"But we must pay attention to the education of the royal family, and we must not give people authority."

"The future world is different from the current world, and the royal family should walk on thin ice in order to survive the tide."

Zhu Youzhen burst into tears, kowtowed and said that he remembered it.

"Don't cry, I'm ninety-two, I'm content, don't delay the government, go, the government is important, the livelihood of the people in the world is more important than me being a dying person, go, I don't need anyone around me to serve me." Zhu Qiyu fell asleep.

When the time came, a doctor injected him with glucose.

He lives by hanging bottles.

When Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes again, Concubine Tan was busy in front of him: "Concubine Ai, I am ahead of you, it is a great luck for me, and a great misfortune for you." ”

"I have already explained to the fourth child, let the second child take you out of the palace and go to the Zhou Kingdom, with your own son by your side, it is better than anything else, and leave this sad place."

Concubine Tan forced a smile: "Your Majesty, if the concubine doesn't leave, the concubine will be buried with you." ”

"I want to be cremated, buried in the Ming border pass, no longer in Beijing."

"My whole life is dedicated to Daming."

"It's the same after death."

"It's just that I pity you, I haven't enjoyed any blessings all my life, my husband is incompetent, and my father is not good."

"If it weren't for the royal family, I would be a civil husband and wife with you, how happy I would be."

"Aifei, you can understand me."

"I am the emperor, I have the burden of Daming on my shoulders, and what I have to bear is just to suffer you."

Concubine Tan shook her head: "Where is the concubine suffering, the concubine enjoys the top wealth in the world, the sons are all emperors, and the daughters are married well, this is still bitter?" If this is bitter, what is sweetness! ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Plain is sweet." ”

"People, it's not a good thing to be rich and rich, but being an ordinary person is the happiest thing."

"Power is a thing that life does not bring and death does not bring, but the world can't see through it."

"In this life, happiness is the most important thing."

"What are you trying to do with living so much?"

"I'd rather be a mortal than be the Nine Heavens!"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I remember your dream back then, it was to help the poor in the world, and it was I who blocked your dream, do you still blame me?" ”

Concubine Tan shook her head: "The concubine was young and ignorant, thinking that with a weak woman, she could help the world, but now that I think about it, my ideals when I was young were very ridiculous. ”

"Even if today's mother is in the world, the concubines still can't help the world."

"When I was young, the concubine complained to His Majesty, saying that the concubine was determined not to marry in order to treat the poor."

"It's ridiculous when I think about it now."

"The power of one person can only help a few poor people, if we can help the whole world, formulate a system, and build a strategic position, we can help the poor people in the whole world."

"Besides, today's Ming Dynasty has developed into such a prosperous world, and there are still poor people who can't afford to cure the disease, alas."

Zhu Qiyu chuckled: "That's right, I really want to wander the world with you, happy and revenge." ”

"The fourth thinks that I am afraid of death, thinks that I am reluctant to die, and steals my life, and always thinks that I am greedy for power."

"Actually, I've lived enough."

"It's just that Da Ming still needs me, if Da Ming doesn't need me, I would have fallen asleep a long time ago, I'm too tired......"

Concubine Tan was anxious: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"What's the matter with a few nonsense, I'm about to die, I heard the old man say that before he dies, he will be full of fear of death and full of desire to survive."

"I don't feel that way."

"I thought about it before, before I died, would I lose my name?"

"When the time comes, shout, please, heal me, hahaha!"

"Fortunately, no, my reputation has been preserved."

Zhu Qiyu laughed and said: "It's really come to this point, but I'm relieved, because I'm really tired, I want to rest and rest, and when I go to sleep, I will never feel tired." ”

The concubine said to the old emperor to loosen his muscles and bones: "You are the first emperor of the ages, of course you are not afraid of death, but the concubine sees that you are still good-looking, and it will be good to raise your body." ”

He also asked the eunuch to feed the emperor a mouthful of sweet water.

"If I get better again, how uncomfortable the fourth child will be." Zhu Qiyu can still joke at this time.

Concubine Tan felt that the emperor did not look like he was going to die.

"You, you've made the fourth child miserable." Concubine Tan took the bowl and fed the emperor sugar water.

Zhu Qiyu also smiled, the fourth child was looking forward to his death, of course he knew.

"I suddenly thought again, when I first met you."

"I was very sick at that time, and all the doctors didn't dare to tell the truth, but you told the truth, and you have the grace to save my life."

Zhu Qiyu had a smile on his face: "Concubine Ai, to this day, do you know that the doctors at that time didn't dare to tell the truth?" ”

Tan Yunxian rolled his eyes: "At that time, the concubine was young and ignorant, and before going out, the family told her to be cautious in her words and deeds, but there was obviously a problem with your pulse, and no one else dared to say it, so the concubine wanted to stop talking." ”

"If the concubine is a few years older, she won't dare to say it."

"As long as you are a healer, you can know your illness if you take your pulse, but everyone doesn't say it, obviously because they are worried about being liquidated."

"Your emperor did it, the sense of existence is too low, and the people still think that it is the orthodox emperor who is the emperor."

"It was also you who found out that something was wrong with the concubine and forcibly forced the concubine to question."

Concubine Tan smiled bitterly: "If the concubine didn't say it at the time, I'm afraid there would be a disaster of annihilation." ”

"Of course, there is something wrong with my body, but I don't say anything, if I don't kill people again, will I still be me?"

"So those healers who don't tell the truth don't need to live."

"Those who survive will also be military doctors for the rest of their lives, and they will never be able to return to Beijing."

"I didn't have a good sense of existence at the time."

"But the common people still think that the orthodox emperor is the emperor, but it's nonsense, not to mention the change of Tumubao, just to say the defense of Beijing, who doesn't know that I am Jingtai?"

Zhu Qiyu wanted to grab Tan Yunxian's hand, but he had no strength: "It would have been nice if I had met you a few years earlier." ”

A few years ago, the concubine was still a child!

"You've always wanted to know."

"In my heart, which woman has the most important position."

"I've always avoided talking about it."

"I'm about to rot the wood, so I'll tell you, so I don't want you to go to Zhou with regrets."

Zhu Qiyu looked at her: "In my life, there are countless women, sacrifices from all over the world, gentry families, and captives of the nobles of the vassal country, all abound. ”

"You know, I'm not good."

"And I am very affectionate, not to see one and love another."

"There are only two women in the most important place in my heart."

Concubine Tan pricked up her ears, over the years, she was also competing for favor, and then the concubines died one after another, so she didn't fight, because there was no one to fight.

"You and Concubine Hu."

Concubine Tan was slightly stunned: "What about Queen Tang?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "She and I share weal and woe, I love her very much, but she betrayed me, and since then, there is a gap between me and her after all." ”

"I don't love her anymore."

"She doesn't love me anymore, what she loves is Fengyin, the queen of the world!"

Concubine Tan wants to say that the concubine also lied to you back then.

"You lied to me back then."

"I hated you very much at first, and I wanted to send you into the cold palace at one point."

"But when you knelt in front of me in thin clothes, my heart softened."

"After all, you have served me for almost two years, and everything is for my sake, and the relationship between me and you is not very deep."

"The relationship between people and people will only become deeper when they are slowly contacted."

"It takes time for a husband and wife to become relatives."

"So I hate you, yes, not much."

"In the next few years, you tried your best to please me, and I didn't want to look at you, but I was just forced to do it."

"You should be able to feel it."

"Even if you and I visit Nanjing, I will only be able to deal with it."

"It was the end of the thirteenth year of Jingtai, Empress Dowager Wu was sick, and you took care of her in Xian'an Palace.

"And it's been four years since that incident."

"Time has diluted everything."

"And we have two more children, and the laughter of the children finally diluted some of the hatred, and you know that you are wrong, and you are not resentful of me because you didn't get the queen's position."

"It made me feel a little more comfortable."

"And your most sorry Concubine Song also allowed her to conceive again, I am very pleased."

"You have touched me with your kindness."

"I am willing to let go of everything in the past and contact you again, and after decades, I and you have changed from husband and wife to relatives."

"When I'm old, I can't do without you."

Concubine Tan's eyes flashed with emotion: "What happened back then, it was the concubine's mistake, if the concubine had known you, she would not have let you fall into such a difficult situation." ”

"yes, you're wrong."

"But you know that you can change your mistakes, and I'm very pleased."

Zhu Qiyu muttered: "Another woman is Concubine Hu." ”

"She entered the palace later than you, but her family background is better than yours."

"I like her because she can talk to me about going together, about national affairs, and I talk to her, and she can not only be a listener, but also give me some effective advice."

"Where I love her more, she has a sense of proportion."

"Know what to say and what not to say."

"That's her biggest benefit."

"And back then, she was frightened, causing heavy bleeding, and almost lost her life, to put it mildly, I owe her."

"But after so many years, she didn't complain."

"She's human, how can she not have emotions? She didn't want to talk to me, she didn't want to bother me. ”

"I'm ashamed of her."

"She was fifty-one years old when she left, and I didn't go to see her when she got sick."

"She is not like other women, who write letters to me every day, and send people to ask for advice every day, but she doesn't, and she doesn't write a letter to me."

"She didn't want me to worry about it, or rather, she knew I wouldn't see it, and it just added to her troubles."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "In my life, the most sorry woman is her. ”

"Fortunately, the fourth child ascended the throne, and she was also posthumously crowned the queen."

"Seek kindness and get kindness."

"It's the only thing I can do for her."

"I'm not a good husband."

"She is so well-behaved and sensible, I treat her as a trash can to confide, vent all negative emotions to her, her short life is directly related to me."

"Aifei, I'm really selfish."

yes, you're selfish.

Concubine Tan's nasal cavity was blocked, and tears were in her eyes: "You are selfless to the Ming Dynasty, it's enough, you are the emperor, the concubines and other harem women have enjoyed the greatest honor in a woman's life, and you still have the luxury of getting your love, how can you not make an inch?" ”

"The concubine can understand, and Sister Hu can also understand you."

"That's why I said, if I don't want to be the emperor, I want to be a rich man, with a beautiful wife and concubine, wandering the rivers and lakes, is the life I want most."

Zhu Qiyu wept: "There are so many women in my harem, but I only love the two of you." ”

"But I've always been wet with rain and dew."

"When they were alive, they thought I liked them the most."

"I don't dare not lie to them."

"They are all delicate girls, they are all spoiled at home, and they are my women when they enter the palace, if I don't even love my own women, how can I love the people of this world?"

"But I don't have that much heart for them."

"You can only lie to them and give them the best material life, that's all."

"That's the only thing I can do."

"All the concubines who enter the palace have children with me, and this is the only thing I have brought them."

Concubine Tan hurriedly wiped away her tears, there is the emperor's words, whether it is true or not, it is worth it.

"Concubine Ai, you are the only one in the harem who still accompanies me."

"Go to the vassal kingdom, go to my son."

"Don't worry about me, the soul after death, we'll see you again."

Zhu Qiyu grabbed her hand: "Let the second child be filial to you, and have a peaceful birthday in a few years, now that the transportation is convenient, if you want to see which son, go and see." ”

"Look at them on my behalf, too."

"I am not a good father, I have never passed on a drop of love to them."

"Father's love is like a mountain, I still remember how much my father loved me when I was young, although I was only eight years old when he died."

"But my mother often told me about those six years, and she said that they were the most glorious six years of her life."

"She said that every time Emperor Xuanzong came to the outer house, he would hold me and refuse to let go."

"In my impression, I only remember a majestic figure, holding the young me, although I can't remember my face clearly, but I can feel the strong meaning of loving my son."

"Emperor Xuanzong is not the same as me."

"He is so amazing and gorgeous, even the extremely harsh Emperor Yongle loves him very much, he can do everything, military, political, poetry, and painting, and is proficient in everything."

"He dedicated his life to his hobbies and to his family."

"I still remember the Empress Dowager Sun, when she mentioned the first emperor, she loved the first emperor, just like my mother, she was the concubine of the Han king, but she also loved the first emperor."

"The first emperor Fengshen Yuxiu, said that I am like the first emperor, but not as handsome as the first emperor, and the one who is most like the first emperor is the orthodox emperor."

"I am just an ordinary person, and I can only dedicate everything I have to the Ming Dynasty and give it to the country."

"So I'm not a good father."

Concubine Tan shook her head and said, "You are a good father, you let all your sons become emperors, aren't you still a good father?" ”

"I'm tired of being an emperor, are they really willing to be an emperor?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Concubine Ai, go to the second child, tell the second child that he is doing very well in Zhou Kingdom, don't imitate me in everything, I am just an ordinary person." ”

Concubine Tan kept nodding, and tears fell on Zhu Qiyu's face.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized: "Concubine Ai, I have too many secrets in my life, I seem to be frank, but in fact, I am just superficial." ”

"I said I didn't want to be a politician, but I was actually a politician of conspiracy."

"So at the end of my life, I haven't let go of these calculations, and fortunately, I am still at peace, and I haven't collapsed because death is near."

"My mentality has been honed for seventy years."

"I've already looked down on everything."

"Life and death, in my eyes, I dare not say that it is a passing thing, but when I can live, I will try to live well, and when I know that I am going to die, I will face death calmly, not complaining, not collapsing, and not hating."

"Because when I was alive, I didn't waste a single second."

"I don't want to sleep more before I die, and I sleep forever after I die."

"So, at the end of my life, I look down on it, I just want to talk more and finish the last journey, because I am afraid that I will be too lonely after I die, and there will be no one to talk to me!"

Concubine Tan couldn't stop her tears: "The concubine will accompany you." ”

"What nonsense? You're going to live well, huh? Be obedient and live for me. ”

"I will go first, bring misfortune to you, and you will live to show me."

"Go and see the world on my behalf, look at the vassal kingdoms I have conquered, and see our sons."

"Ai Concubine, I have no regrets when I go, you are living well on behalf of me, you are my eyes, go and see the world of the vassal kingdom that I have never seen! All right? ”

Zhu Qiyu raised his head.

Hot tears fell on his face, and Zhu Qiyu grinned lightly.

He had come to the face of death.

All he had to do, he had done.

When he can live, he will live with perseverance, and when he knows that he will die, he will accept death calmly.

This is the mindset that has been honed for sixty-two years.

Steady.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Tan hugged the emperor's head and cried.

"Don't cry, you are my eyes, look at the world on my behalf." Zhu Qiyu was still laughing.

There's another one in the back, don't wait
