Zhu Di hurriedly said: "Dad, you'll be fine, you haven't seen my eldest grandson yet, that kid is likable!" ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at Wang Yue on the side.

Wang Yue nodded hurriedly, walked out quickly, and said to the eunuch waiting at the door: "Quickly pass the imperial doctor!" ”

"Yes......"

"Fourth, we're getting colder and colder!"

In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang shivered coldly, "We're cold!" ”

"Make a stove!"

Zhu Di hurriedly shouted at Wang Yue, who had just returned.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Wang Yue ran out again.

"Hurry up and bring two stoves!"

"Yes!"

The attendants outside the hall did not dare to delay, and hurriedly walked in with two stoves, and placed them on both sides of Zhu Yuanzhang at the suggestion of Zhu Di.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to notice it at all, and still felt very cold.

"Fourth, we're really going to leave this time!"

Zhu Di's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Dad, you'll be fine!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Di, but looked out the window by himself, looking in a trance, and muttered to himself: "Sister, let's arrange the children!" ”

"We're cold...... Girl, Biao'er, we miss you so much, we're going to find you too......"

"Okay, let's finally find you, okay...... Ah......h

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly closed his eyes.

On the side, Zhu Di's eyes were red.

Poof, kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Daddy! ~”

Behind him, Wang Yue and a group of attendants knelt down with grief on their faces.

……

In less than an hour.

The whole palace is a plain one!

Jingshi also fell silent in an instant.

All officials, gentry, and shops hung white silk in front of their doors.

At the same time, a cavalry wearing white silk on their heads and full of grief rushed out of the gate of the capital division and went to all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

……

Two days later.

A captain with his head wrapped around the white silk rushed in from the gate of Beiping City.

Go straight to the Yan Palace.

Seeing this familiar scene, the people of Beiping Mansion couldn't help but discuss again.

Which noble person has died?

Inside the palace of King Yan.

Zhu Gaochi and Guo An were sitting leisurely in the Cunxin Palace, drinking herbal tea juice while looking at the various account books played by the Chamber of Commerce.

Suddenly.

A guard rushed in directly with a panicked face, his face was very panicked, and he was still a little trembling.

Seeing this, Guo Anxin sank.

"Your Highness...... Your Highness, a messenger from Jingshi is coming! ”

"Let it in!"

Zhu Gaochi also said quickly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As soon as the guard left the temple gate, a lieutenant rushed in with a heavy face.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has died!"

"What?"

Zhu Gaochi got up directly and stared at the lieutenant tightly, his face full of disbelief.

"You say it again?"

The lieutenant said again: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has died!" ”

"Grandpa!"

Zhu Gaochi knelt on the ground with a sad face.

On the side, Guo An and all the attendants in the hall also hurriedly knelt on the ground.

In the entire Yanwang Palace, a large number of people also knelt down.

But.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same!

In the palace of King Yan, the maids and maids guarding the guards may be even happier in their hearts.

"Your Highness, the festival is good!"

In the hall, looking at the painful Zhu Gaochi, Guo An sighed lightly and comforted.

Zhu Gaochi didn't listen to Guo An's words, although Lao Zhu was cruel to the people of the world, but he was still good to the Zhu family, especially Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of various feudal kings.

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Gaochi was really sad and sad.

Guo An persuaded again: "Your Highness, now that Your Majesty has died, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even more sad.

The court and the central government are bound to be extremely chaotic, and I ask His Royal Highness to cheer up and rush back to Beijing as soon as possible to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and deal with the government affairs! ”

At this time, Zhu Fu also rushed over when he heard the words, and persuaded Zhu Gaochi: "Your Highness, what Guo Shaozhan said is very true, Your Majesty is dead, and there will be a big chaos in the court, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be busy here, and please cheer up Your Highness, go to Beijing as soon as possible to assist His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Zhu Gaochi finally came back to his senses and arched his hand slightly towards Guo An and Zhu Fu, "Thank you for the reminder from the teacher and Zhu Changshi, I will rush back to Jingshi, I wonder if the teacher can go?" ”

On the side, Zhu Fu was anxious in his heart.

Guo An said slowly: "Thank you Your Highness for the invitation, but Weichen was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Beiping Mansion to be in charge of the affairs of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce."

Now, the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce has not completed the processing, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not ordered to summon him, so Weichen cannot go back without authorization, so he can only bother His Highness! ”

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Guo An in a daze, he didn't believe it, Guo An couldn't see clearly the benefits of rushing back at this time.

However, since Guo An didn't want to go back, Zhu Gaochi did not continue to persuade him.

"In this way, Beiping Mansion will be handed over to Zhu Changshi and the teacher!"

"Your Highness, don't worry!"

Guo An said, then remembered something, and said again: "Your Highness will go back this time, take more Yan Shanwei with you!" ”

"Thank you for the reminder!"

With that, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly walked out.

Inside the temple.

Zhu Fu looked at Guo An with a complicated expression, "Such a good time, why didn't Guo Shaozhan rush back to Beijing?" ”

Guo An said lightly: "The things ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have not been completed, how can he return without an edict?" ”

Zhu Fu said: "Don't Guo Shaozhan know that once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Guo Shaozhan will inevitably be reused.

However, if Guo Shaozhan is not in the Jingshi......"

Guo An chuckled and said, "Zhu Changshi underestimates his own official too much, how can I, Guo An, be the person who is greedy for official position and power?" ”

"Then why did Guo Changshi ...... in the first place?"

Zhu Fu hurriedly stopped his mouth.

Guo An didn't mind, just said slowly: "We're just trying to survive!" ”

Zhu Fu was stunned, his eyes were full of doubts: "To survive......"

Guo An didn't pay attention to Zhu Fu anymore, he was just trying to survive.

In this era, except for him, no one knows that there was a martyrdom, and I don't know how many generals and officials died.

Although he is the governor of the Yanwang Mansion, if he really has a martyrdom like later generations, he Guo An will definitely be the key target of Zhu Yunwen.

Whether they can survive or not, it's not certain.

Like now, everyone is happy!

As for him Guo An, what does it matter if he is not by Zhu Di's side?

He is only in his thirties now, and he is already the fourth grade, could it be that he has just been promoted to the third grade for less than half a year?

If that's the case, the eyes of those officials in the court who are not jealous will be red?

However, if he was not in Jingshi, and Zhu Di wanted to promote him, the jealousy of those courtiers would not be so great!

It's his, and he can't hide from it; It's not his, I can't ask for it!

He was able to survive Lao Zhu's Hongwu Dynasty, and he also laid such a big family business, enjoying the top enjoyment of the Ming Dynasty, and he was already very satisfied!

……

Capital.

With the death of Emperor Hongwu, the whole Jingshi stopped all entertainment activities, and all the staff grieved for Emperor Hongwu.

And a few days after the death of Emperor Hongwu, hundreds of officials began to be on the table.

"The sky cannot be without a day, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, I implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne!"

Meantime.

Wang Yue, the most trusted eunuch of Emperor Hongwu during his lifetime, took out the edict of Emperor Hongwu.

"I have been in the Mandate of Heaven for 30 years, and I have been anxious and diligent, and I have been diligent every day to benefit the people. Nai is from a humble beginning, without the knowledge of the ancients, good and evil, not far away.

Now we have the natural principle of all things, and there is a sense of ridicule and sorrow.

The crown prince Zhu Di is filial piety, the world is in the heart, and it is appropriate to ascend to the throne.

Internal and external civil and military ministers work together to assist the government to reassure our people.

Funeral rituals, no gold and jade. The mountains and rivers of Xiaoling are not changed because of this. The subjects of the world, crying for three days, are all relieved, and there is no harm in marrying.

The kings are in the kingdom, and they do not go to the capital. Those who are not in the order will be pushed to do so. ”

Thereupon.

The crown prince Zhu Di, with the support of hundreds of officials, successfully ascended the throne and changed the next year to the first year of Hongding.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he did not immediately reward the former ministers of the Yan Palace.

Even, even Zhu Gaochi, who rushed back, was not established as the crown prince.

Instead, he mourned Zhu Yuanzhang wholeheartedly, buried Zhu Yuanzhang in the Purple Mountain Filial Piety Mausoleum, and was nicknamed "Qinming Qiyun Junde Successfully Unified Heaven Great Filial Piety Emperor"!

……

"Hong Ding?"

When this era number reached Beiping, Guo An couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

"Sure enough, he deserves to be the emperor who most resembles Emperor Hongwu, but we will help you......"

……

This will be the autumn harvest season.

Every household in Peiping Province has a bumper harvest.

The only thing that distressed everyone was that the price of chili peppers plummeted!

……

Pei Binh Province.

Zhu Gaochi is back.

This.

Guo An was embarrassed, he didn't know what to call Zhu Gaochi!

The Son? The Great Prince?

Thinking casually in his mind, Guo An hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Weichen greets His Highness!"

"You're welcome, teacher!"

When he came back this time and saw Guo An again, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in his heart again.

Who would have thought that he, the teacher, would forcibly push his father from the king of Daming Yan to the position of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and then to the throne.

Guo An didn't know the emotion in Zhu Gaochi's heart, but said with a worried face: "Why is Your Highness's face so ugly, but you are a little tired?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine!"

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand slowly, then got into the carriage with Guo An and headed towards the Yanwang Palace.

On the road.

Zhu Gaochi finally couldn't help it, and said slowly: "Teacher, is it really right to be martyred? ”

"Human martyrdom?"

Guo An shuddered, and his face changed greatly.

Instantly remembered that after the death of many old Zhu, in order to prevent the concubines in his harem from disturbing the court and interfering with the new emperor, he issued an edict early to let all the forty concubines who were in the bed be buried in the Ming Tomb, and as for the palace maids, there are even more numerous.

Zhu Gaochi said: "Teacher, they are all young, and they have all given birth to ......."

"Your Highness!"

Guo An couldn't help but stop Zhu Gaochi's complaints, "Your Highness, Weichen is just a small Shaozhan matter, this system was established by Emperor Hongwu, and Weichen doesn't dare to have any opinions!" ”

Guo An is really afraid!

The bad custom of burial with a living person has been slowly eradicated since the Han and Tang dynasties.

However, when I got to Lao Zhu, it began to recover again.

Then, according to Guo An's memory, the compassionate little fat man in front of him was also very ruthless to let the concubines in the palace be buried after his death.

In terms of enjoyment, Emperor Daming is stronger than Guo An.

One by one, at least dozens of concubines.

And these emperors are all very cautious.

are all worried, after they die, what will happen to the young and beautiful concubines left behind?

So, all of them followed the ancestral system set by Lao Zhu, and they all followed them, and they were all gone, and they were forever pure!

He, Guo An, is just a small official, how can he comment on this matter at will?

You can't even listen to it.

This is the cruelty that belongs to the royal family alone, there is no need for him Guo An to get involved, the most important thing is that he can't change anything.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi sighed slightly and didn't say anything more.

This time, Zhu Gaochi returned to Beiping Mansion, and a number of officials from Beiping Mansion came to visit him one after another.

There is no shying away from it.

As for the gentry and businessmen in Beiping Mansion, when they faced those businessmen from the south again, they became more and more confident.
