Chapter 140: Prince Xu
After Zhu Yuanzhang took over the government in an all-round way, Li Qing became an emotionless repeater, and he had no time to be idle.
In the morning, noon, afternoon, and even at night, he had to work overtime until midnight, and Lao Zhu didn't even let him go back to his home, and he ate and lived in the imperial study.
What's even more annoying is that there is no additional money!
On the fifteenth day of Zhu Biao's absence, I missed him!
Li Qing's tired throat smoked, and finally he was tired and angry, this night, he really couldn't stand it, and said angrily:
"Your Majesty, let the ministers rest, there is no such thing as you, among the Hanlin Academy, the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and the Six Departments, which one is not full of poetry and books, anyone can do this job, you don't need to catch the ministers!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "You are a little ignorant, Lao Tzu is asking you to meddle in the government and politics, in order to cultivate you, and in the future, you and Biao'er will be ...... together."
Balabala......
"Don't draw, don't draw......" Li Qing shook his head painfully, "I can't eat it, I can't eat it at all." ”
As soon as the words came out, he himself was stunned, why did he say what was in his heart?
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed and angry, "Li Qing, you bastard." ”
"Qiang Chang~"
The three-foot Qingfeng came out of the sheath suddenly, and Lao Zhu didn't care about his head or his cheeks, and he greeted him with his head and face.
Good guys, play really, right?
Li Qing was so angry that he got up and ran out, shouting as he ran: "The little stick is the big stick and go!" ”
Lao Zhu was already tired and angry, and he didn't catch up with Li Qing, so he was so angry that he pouted his beard and shouted: "Bastard, rebel, you give Lao Tzu back." ”
"No back, no return."
Li Qing doesn't care about 'the king lets the minister die, the minister has to die', Lao Zhu is obviously angry, so he won't stretch out his head and let Lao Zhu cut it.
If it falls, it won't grow.
"Bastard......!" Lao Zhu was so angry that he smoked, "If you run again, Lao Tzu will chop you." ”
Li Qing had no choice but to stop, looking at death as if he were at home, "That's it, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than Hongmao, which can make the emperor relieved, and the ministers will not regret their death!" ”
He looked up at the sky and sighed: "It's a pity that I have failed the emperor's cultivation, and I haven't had time to be loyal to the country, and I haven't shown my ambitions yet......"
"Dang Chang~" Zhu Yuanzhang threw away his sword and said with a calm face, "We won't kill you, you come here." ”
Looking at Lao Zhu's slap that was loud and suppressed, Li Qing understood that if this was in the past, he would have to have a big fight.
Li Qing smiled dryly, "Your Majesty, the ministers have to be respectful!" ”
"Out of the palace?" Zhu Yuanzhang is even more angry, the palace gate has long been locked, why is your face so big?
"You dare?"
Li Qing was annoyed: "Your Majesty, you're going too far!" ”
"Shall we go too far?" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded, "It's your excesses, at this point, no one is allowed to leave the palace." ”
"You don't care about that?" Li Qing was dumbfounded.
As the saying goes: if you control the heavens and the earth, you can't control people from pooping and farting!
Your old Zhu is too domineering, isn't it, the emperor is amazing?
"Of course we have to take care of it." Zhu Yuanzhang glared, "This is our rule, you want to go back to sleep with a woman, you want to go crazy, don't you look at what time it is!"
Once the palace gate is locked, the sky can't be opened! ”
"......" Li Qing said with a smile, "The minister means ......"
Before he finished speaking, suddenly a brocade guard rushed in from outside, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately knelt down, "Bang Bang Bang ......!" 'Kowtow.
"Liu Qiang?" Li Qing was stunned, stepped forward and said, "You didn't go to the west with His Royal Highness the Prince. Is it safe? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and then became furious: "How the hell did you get in?" ”
Now he finally found a venting point, and he picked up the sword on the ground and was about to cut people.
"Your Majesty, slow down." Li Qing stopped Lao Zhu, and an extremely ominous thought came up, and he hurriedly said, "What about Your Highness?" ”
Liu Qiang raised his head slowly, his forehead was already blood-red, his face was frightened, he was so anxious that he opened his mouth silently, and his face was red.
Li Qing stretched out his hand and tapped it twice, Liu Qiang exhaled violently, and said with a crying voice, "Your Majesty, come out, something is wrong." ”
"Big deal?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly came to his senses and said in a trembling voice, "It's Biao'er... What's wrong with him? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he ......"
"You mean!" Li Qing hurriedly said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with him?" ”
Liu Qiang cried: "Your Highness, he ...... He is gone. ”
Li Qing was shocked, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were even darker, and he fell straight back.
"Your Majesty......" Li Qing's eyes were quick, and he grabbed him and pinched his people.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes faintly and muttered: "Impossible, the standard is less than forty, how can it be ......?"
Li Qing helped Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lost and depressed, and turned back to Liu Qiang and said, "Where is the prince now?" ”
"I've been carried into the palace." Liu Qiang said bitterly, "I'll be able to come over later." ”
Li Qing held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked, "Is the prince sick and faint, or is he really ......?" ”
"My lord......" Liu Qiang choked, "How dare you talk nonsense?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and fainted completely.
Li Qing's expression was gloomy, and he held the elderly Lao Zhu tightly, and quietly gave him a true qi to protect his heart.
"My lord, what now?" Liu Qiang saw that the emperor was in a coma, but he was more relaxed, and his brain was a little more active, "After a while, the prince... Where to lift and how to arrange it? ”
Li Qing felt tired, but he was not good at this kind of thing, so he had to wake up Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible and let him make up his mind.
"Huh~ Let's go to Qianqing Palace first!" Li Qing picked up Lao Zhu horizontally and said to the few little eunuchs behind, "A few of you go to the Qianqing Palace with this official." ”
The little eunuch's face was full of resistance, at this juncture, even if one action was not up to standard, he might lose his head, and said with a crying voice at the moment:
"My lord, Lord Hou, slaves and maids are to serve people, you are merciful......"
"Less nonsense, since you are serving people, why can't you serve the emperor?" Li Qing said coldly, "Keep up with this official." ”
As he spoke, he headed towards the Qianqing Palace.
The little eunuch looked at each other, analyzed the pros and cons, and followed Li Qing dejectedly.
They understand that if they go, they don't necessarily die, and if they don't go, no matter what happens to the emperor, they won't be able to live afterwards.
Qianqing Palace.
Li Qing put Lao Zhu on the bed and quickly took out the needle box for his acupuncture.
A few little eunuchs called hot water, prepared towels, and prepared hot tea, and when everything was ready, they stood in the corner in fear, trembling.
A little eunuch said with a crying voice, "Master Hou, do you want to notify the harem concubines?" ”
"yes, yes, such a big thing can't be hidden!" The rest of the eunuchs nodded hurriedly, all wanting to take the opportunity to slip away.
"Be honest and don't talk nonsense!" Li Qing said in a deep voice.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhu Biao was carried in, and at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also woke up.
"Your Majesty." Li Qing held him down and whispered in his ear, "You can't fall anymore." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and nodded lightly, "We understand, we all understand." ”
He wrapped the quilt tightly and warmed it for a while before he got up and got out of bed, "Carry the prince to the bed." ”
A few little eunuchs didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stepped forward, carefully carried Zhu Biao to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and retreated a little farther, grabbed the ground with his head, and wept sadly.
The cry is not noisy, but it can be heard just right.
The brocade guards who carried the prince in also knelt on the ground, their faces full of grief.
Zhu Biao lay quietly on the bed, his face was peaceful, as if he was asleep, but there was no blood, his lips were white, and his whole body was cold, because he had been chilled by ice cubes before.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the edge of the bed and looked at it obsessively, and for a long time, he gently took his son's hand and put it in his palm.
His son's hands were so cold, so cold that his heart was cold, he stepped forward and sighed, rubbing gently, but his son's hands were always cold.
He unbuttoned his robe and put his son's hand on his chest to cover it, but he couldn't cover it warmly.
"Home, Biao'er is home......"
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered softly, just like the children of the common people were frightened, and the parents called the soul of the child.
He just sat like that, covered it like that, and talked so much......
It's been a long time......
I don't know when, the sky is bright.
The morning sun spilled in through the doors and windows, illuminating the hall and shining on Zhu Yuanzhang's withered body.
His hair was very dazzling in the sunlight, no longer white, but snow-white, and there was no longer a single black hair.
After covering it all night, his son's hands still didn't cover the heat.
He put his son's hand back in the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt, and combed the messy hair on his son's forehead, and slowly spoke: "How did Biao'er die, and what did he say before he died?"
From the beginning of leaving Beijing, I will tell us everything in detail! ”
Liu Qiang's body was shocked, and he said in a dumb voice: "Back to the emperor, since leaving Beijing, His Royal Highness has been in a good mood, and his body has not seen a trace of illness.
As he moved away from Beijing, His Highness's smile became more and more, and his diet and sleep were normal.
At noon five days ago, the sun was just right, and after His Royal Highness had eaten, he looked at the green wheat fields on both sides of the road, and his interest was extraordinarily high, and he stared at it for a long time, and then abandoned the sedan chair and rode his horse. ”
Liu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "At that time, His Royal Highness rode too fast, and the honor guard couldn't keep up at all.
The ministers and others have been following, His Royal Highness has good riding skills, the horses are obedient, and they have nothing to do all the way, until most of the hour later, when the horses are tired, His Highness will stop the horse.
Then, His Highness sighed with emotion, and then fell off the horse, and the ministers stepped forward in shock, but... But His Highness has ...... At that time, the second prince was also there, and the minister never said anything. ”
"What did Biao'er say at the time?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice, "What Biao'er said at that time, you can say it, no matter what you say, we won't cure you." ”
"Obey." Liu Qiang calmed down and imitated Zhu Biao's tone that day:
"Hurry!
Depressed for decades, in today's time, the fastest! ”
