"Depressed for decades, depressed for decades......" Zhu Yuanzhang murmured softly.

These words were like a sharp sword, tearing open his chest and ripping out his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang's big tears slipped down, and he cried and cried.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The little eunuch was the first to respond, and his cry rose sharply, and the shrill tone echoed in the main hall and spread far and wide.

In an instant, everyone in the hall cried.

The death of the crown prince can't hide such a big thing, and it can't be hidden.

The harem was the first to get the news, and Zhu Biao's women and children hurried over, looking at their men and father lying there quietly, only to feel five thunderbolts.

The emperor's grandsons Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi knelt in front of the bed next to the couch, and the others knelt behind the two, and the crying in the hall was suffocating.

Li Qing looked at Zhu Yunwen, now he is a fifteen-year-old boy, with a beautiful face, he didn't howl, he didn't even make a sound, he cried silently, but it was like this, but it was even more distressing.

Zhu Yunxi was also crying, but the crying was far less than Zhu Yunxi's.

Is it acting?

Li Qing didn't know, but Zhu Yunwen really looked like Zhu Biao, his face was soft, not only similar in shape, but also similar in appearance.

And Zhu Yunxi followed his mother's family, although he was still immature, but just by looking at it, he could inexplicably associate it with blue jade.

This is not surprising, Chang is Lan Yu's niece, and the portrait of uncle and nephew is very common, and it is reasonable for Zhu Yunxi to look like Lan Yu.

Li Qing sighed secretly: "Is this the general trend?"

No, there is still a chance, as long as Zhu Yunwen is not allowed to sit on the position of the prince, everything can be recovered.

The second Zhu Rong is tyrannical and unkind, cruel and easy to kill, and the third Zhu Li is evil and lawless.

The fourth Zhu Di has never disturbed the people, and has repeatedly made great contributions, although it is deep-rooted that he is not a virtuous person, but Lao Zhu is by no means a person who follows the rules. ”

Li Qing saw it thoroughly, and with Zhu Yuanzhang's emphasis on Jiangshan Sheji, he would never have an emotional deviation in choosing an heir.

He doesn't know how Zhu Yunwen in history sat on the throne of the prince, but now it is different, with his variable, it is not unchangeable.

Although Lao Zhu loves to paint cakes for him, and often oppresses and exploits him, of course Li Qing knows how much Lao Zhu attaches importance to him and trusts him.

……

Outside the Qianqing Palace, the ministers knelt on the ground, heartbroken, and from time to time there were crying and fainting Wenchen, who were carried out by the little eunuch.

The big man of blue jade knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, his eyes were red, and Li Jinglong on the side was also crying sadly, neither of them could take care of each other, and they were both extremely sad.

Zhu Biao is the crown prince, even if he is a civil and military general who does not deal with it, he is convinced, but he is such a long-awaited person, but he died suddenly, can they not be sad?

The military generals of Wenchen cried bitterly, crying sadly, and crying sincerely.

Especially Wenchen, his heart was broken, and his liver and intestines were broken when he cried, which was sadder than his dead father.

The sound of the entire palace crying was intertwined and tingling.

Li Qing took a deep breath, walked to the couch, and whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang: "The emperor mourns, you must rest now." ”

Lao Zhu is already in his sixties, and he has been working hard for several days, and he has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, and his gray hair is even more snow-white.

If he collapses again, then Da Ming will really be in chaos.

"Your Majesty, the overall situation matters!" Li Qing's tone increased slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, slowly regained some consciousness, and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Li Qing's eyes froze, and he instantly understood that Lao Zhu had lost his voice, so he put the needle box on the side of the bed into his sleeve without a trace, then picked up Lao Zhu and walked out slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's hand was tightly grasping Li Qing, his eyes were staring at him, he couldn't speak, but Li Qing understood what he meant:

Don't make a noise, don't let people know that we can't speak!

Li Qing nodded, but he wasn't too worried, Lao Zhu was just a loss of voice caused by excessive sadness, not dumb.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know this, he only knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound, he was really panicked at the moment, for fear that someone would find out, and even from Li Qing supporting him, to him pulling Li Qing.

When the two came to the imperial study, the little eunuch kneeling on the ground immediately grabbed the ground with his head, mourning and crying.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave a look, Li Qing understood, and immediately said: "All of them quit, no one can come in and disturb the emperor's peace." ”

The little eunuch kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and immediately withdrew from the main hall.

Li Qing helped Zhu Yuanzhang to lie down on the bed in the side hall, and the latter held his hand tightly and said with his lips: "We must be cured!" ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will definitely be able to heal the emperor."

In fact, what Zhu Yuanzhang is really worried about is not that he can't speak, but that he is now old, once he can't speak anymore, it is inevitable that no one will move his mind, which may cause great changes.

Li Qing took out the needle box for his acupuncture, and then secretly mobilized a little true qi, massaged and massaged him, and after working for half an hour, Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally could make a sound.

"Huh~ Li Qing." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was hoarse, but it had eased up.

"The minister is here." Li Qing helped him up and helped him put on a pillow, "Your Majesty, Sheji is important......

"We all understand." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand lightly, leaned on the head of the bed and fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said softly, "Who do you think can take over the position of the prince?" ”

Li Qing's heart was agitated, but he also knew that he must not say his name easily, otherwise not only would he not achieve his goal, but he would also be ashamed.

He can only guide and let Lao Zhu make his own decisions.

"The minister doesn't dare to speak up."

"Don't worry, say it boldly."

"Uh...... Obey the order. Li Qing groaned, "Long and orderly, according to the etiquette, it should be ......."

He directly crossed the imperial grandson and shifted Lao Zhu's gaze to the prince.

Li Qing said this is also in line with etiquette, after all, Zhu Biao did not become the emperor, although he is the prince with the real power and the highest status in history, but the prince is the prince.

He didn't become the emperor himself, how could he let his son be the crown prince?

Li Qing has no opinion on Zhu Biao, but he doesn't want to give Zhu Yunwen a chance to take the position.

If Zhu Di can ascend to the throne, not only will he lose the battle of Jingjing, but he will also be able to create a prosperous era, no matter how you look at it, it will be cost-effective.

In the Ming Dynasty, when it came to being the emperor alone, Zhu Di was the first person who deserved it, and Lao Zhu was slightly inferior.

Of course, on the surface, Li Qing seemed to be saying that Zhu Fan would take over, but he understood that Lao Zhu would never agree.

Sure enough, Lao Zhu's reaction was the same as he expected.

"Is it important to be social, or is it important to have etiquette?" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Just like the second bear, can he be the emperor?" ”

Li Qing scratched his head and said, "Since the second prince is not in line with the emperor's wishes, then ......"

"The third child can't do it either!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "He is not much better than the second child." ”

It's finally the fourth child's turn, Zhu Laosi, Zhu Laosi, I didn't drink your wine in vain...... Li Qing suppressed his mood, "If the third prince can't do it, do you want to stop looking down?" ”

"Di'er......" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth showed a look of satisfaction, "Di'er is indeed excellent, among our sons, he is the only one who is most like us." ”

Li Qing was excited in his heart, and he could see that Lao Zhu Yi was moved.

He was afraid that it would change later, so he said, "What does the emperor mean ......?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to speak, but at this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in.

"The Emperor's ......"

"Who let you in?" Li Qing's lungs were about to explode, and he roared, "Didn't you say that? No one can be summoned, and no one can come in and disturb the emperor! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback by his posture, Lao Zhu can speak now, and his heart has calmed down, glared at Li Qing, and said to the little eunuch, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the second prince asks to see him."

The fact that the title of King Zhu Fan was inherited by his son is known to the whole world, so the title of King Qin has become the second prince.

"Zhu Rong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's attention shifted instantly, and he said in a deep voice: "Let that beast come in, Lao Tzu has to ask how Biao'er died." ”

The eldest is gone, and the second child benefits the most, plus Li Qing's remarks in accordance with the etiquette just now.

Now Lao Zhu seriously suspects that Zhu Biaoxu's death was done by the second child, and he has a motive for committing the crime.

Li Qing has been busy for most of the day, and it is not clear whether he can push the fourth child to the top position, but he has firmly pitted the second child.
