Chapter 88: Empress Xu's Funeral
"Second uncle?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled, but there was no mercy in his hands.
Zhu Zhanji couldn't stand on his feet, and smiled again and again, "I'm naΓ―ve, I'm naΓ―ve......"
The most embarrassing thing in the world is that Zhu Zhanji was ashamed and angry, and glared at Li Qing angrily.
He's never seen anyone like that!
Li Qing spread his hands innocently: "I'll just say it, your second uncle is not that kind of person, you see how close he is to you!" β
"......" Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "It's a miracle that you can live so big." β
"Why are you talking?"
"I'll just say......" Zhu Zhan can basically be tough, as soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, his angry face stiffened, his head turned to the side inch by inch, and he saw a black old face, "Lord, grandpa......"
Zhu Gaoxu took the opportunity to make trouble, "Father, this little cub is cursing Li Qing on the surface, but in fact he has bad intentions, the mother's illness can only be cured by Li Qing, what do you say he has in peace?" β
"Grandpa, I'm not ......" Zhu Zhanji was about to cry, but Zhu Di didn't give him a chance to explain at all, "Get out of ......"
Zhu Zhanji was extremely aggrieved, but he didn't dare to be disobedient, so he rolled away.
Now he has truly seen what it means to be sinister.
The cubs also have today...... Zhu Gaoxu forcibly suppressed the pride in his heart, and saluted, "The son of the emperor pays a visit to his father." β
"Excuse me." Zhu Di waved his hand and pulled him towards Xu Miaoyun in the distance.
Li Qing didn't follow, and was still bored admiring the flowers.
When the family gets together, he can't fit in.

"Father, son is being bullied." Zhu Zhanji looked angry.
"Who dares to bully you?" Xiaopang put down the music in his hand, and then picked up another letter and looked at it, "You can endure it better than me, and you are your grandfather's heart." β
"Second uncle." Zhu Zhanji snorted, "And Li Qing." β
He told Li Qing's dog in detail, and Xiaopang laughed after hearing it, "He's like this, your grandfather has been cheated by him, not to mention you, what's the matter, as for it?" β
"It's not a big deal, but it's angry!" Zhu Zhanji was so angry, "Dad, you said that he was so underwhelmed, why didn't anyone beat him?" β
"That's what it's called ability." Xiaopang said, "Hongwu Dynasty, the bloody wind and rain in the court have never stopped, he has gone from a commoner to a prince and marquis in just a few years, how can he be an ordinary person?"
Your grandfather is the most cautious about rewards, and he can be sealed to see his power;
You must know that in that era, officials were not to mention promoted, and it was good to be alive;
You still have to practice, you have to change your youthful and vigorous problems, you must be broad-minded, open-minded, and look at things according to the essence......"
Zhu Zhanji's face was speechless, "Dad, my son was bullied, shouldn't you be angry for your son as a father, no matter how hard you comfort me, how can you teach me a lesson?" β
Chubby glared: "You're a father, I'm a father?" β
ββ¦β¦ You, you are, the child is offended. Zhu Zhanji let out a long sigh, "Please ask my father to punish the crime." β
"Well, go to the study and study, you can't go out without my permission."
Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded, "Dad, are you really playing?" β
"Didn't you ask me to punish you?" Xiaopang said, "It's kind enough that Lao Tzu didn't hit you, don't talk nonsense, go quickly." β
"Father, second uncle, he's back, I have to help you."
"I don't need it, I don't need it at all."
Daddy, can you grow a little longer...... Zhu Zhanji said helplessly, "When the second uncle leaves, will I go to study again?" β
"No, go now." The image of the chubby father collapsed, "Don't force me to slap you." β
ββ¦β¦β

Five days later, King Zhao also came, and the arrival of the two living treasures brought a touch of fun to the Tranquility Palace.
Li Qingchao didn't participate in the meeting much, and almost became a full-time private doctor.
But doctors can cure diseases, but they can't cure lives, and although Li Qing tries his best, he can't prevent Xu Miaoyun's condition from deteriorating.
Xu Miaoyun's condition worsened day by day, and later he was often in a coma, and after a month and a half, he finally ran out of oil.
On this day, Li Qing saw that she was really powerless, so he took advantage of her coma and injected a lot of true qi into her.
~
Qianqing Palace is solemn.
Zhu Di sat on the edge of the bed, Sangao stood in front of the bed, and behind him were the emperor and the princess.
Xu Miaoyun was lying on the bed, her pale face with a hint of a smile, "Why do you look like this?" β
"Miaoyun ......" Zhu Di's voice trembled slightly, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and his red eyes were filled with tears.
"Okay, in front of the children, are you still crying?" Xu Miaoyun smiled, "You are still the emperor." β
Zhu Di squeezed out an ugly smile, which was more ugly than crying.
The princes and grandsons also had sad faces and tears in their eyes.
Xu Miaoyun turned her head and glanced at her children and grandchildren, and the girl's temperament in the past came up, "Come, give this palace a smile." β
This can make the dragon son and the dragon grandson embarrassed, and each one laughs more ugly than the other.
"Not at all." Xu Miaoyun pursed her lips and complained in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the concubine has a request. β
"Miaoyun, you say, I don't allow it."
"Don't engage in any national funeral, don't affect the normal life of the people."
"Yes, I promise you." Zhu Di nodded.
"Also, the emperor will cherish the people in the future and seek talents." Xu Miaoyun said, "The people are the foundation of the country, if the people are not doing well, how can the country prosper?" β
Zhu Di nodded: "Well, I listen to you." β
"And, uh...... Is the concubine too much? When she was dying, she was still eccentric, and her tone had a hint of tea art, "The emperor won't be angry, right?" β
"No, Miaoyun, you say." has been pinched all his life, Zhu Di has long been used to it, if he can, he wants to be pinched all the time.
Xu Miaoyun looked at her husband who had been with her for decades lovingly, and said gently: "After the death of the concubine, you don't have to be too sad, state affairs are important, there are many beautiful women in the world, and then there will be a queen." β
"You're the only one." Zhu Di shook his head slightly, his face full of affection, "Once Yongle, there will be no other queen." β
"You...... This time it's not a test for you, it's sincere. Xu Miaoyun said angrily, "Don't cling to the past, focus on the future......"
Xu is personality dictates, Xu Miaoyun did not speak seriously, her tone was relaxed, and even with a hint of cheerfulness, there was no melancholy or reluctance at all.
This kind of freedom is rarely matched by men.
However, her life has finally come to an end, her strength is getting weaker and weaker, and her voice is getting smaller and smaller, as thin as a mosquito and a fly... Low inaudible ...... Disappear.
Until the end of her life, she still had a relaxed smile on her face.
"Miaoyun, Miaoyun ......"
Zhu Di whispered a few times, but did not get a response.
In response, there was only a faint smile that froze.
Zhu Di wanted to try to call again, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound anymore, and big tears fell uncontrollably.
The three brothers had red eyes and knelt on the ground crying in mourning.
The crying seemed to be contagious, and soon everyone in the hall cried, and the entire Qianqing Palace was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.
β¦β¦
The queen is dead!
The news quickly spread in the palace, and at the same time, the six yamen, the metropolitan procuratorate, and the Hanlin academy ...... Successively received notices.
From the big to the Shangshu, to the small officials, one by one they wore linen and filial piety, rushed to come, knelt down in an orderly manner in front of the Qianqing Palace, and cried a lot......
After a short time, the eunuch of the station hall arrived and began to command the ministers to cry and mourn.
Under his command, the chaotic cries gradually became uniform.
Li Qing is naturally also crying in the mourning team, he has experienced a lot of this, crying Queen Ma, crying Zhu Biao, crying Lao Zhu, with experience, he is also a little numb, mixed in the hundred officials, and the crying is high and low with the tide.
Zhu Di sat at the door of the palace, leaning against the door, stunned to watch the ministers crying, looking at the palace grass and trees, and looking at the sky...... It's as if the world is missing a touch of bright color.
β¦β¦
Seven days later, under the discussion of the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy, the queen was given a nickname.
ββBenevolence, filial piety, benevolence, sincerity, and Mingzhuang are dedicated to Empress Tianqi Shengwen.
It stands to reason that he should be buried at this time, but Zhu Di did not allow it, not only that, but he also took the queen's coffin to the northern tour.
The ministers were all fine, and immediately understood that it was imperative for the emperor to move the capital, and they knew that the emperor was deeply affectionate, as long as the queen was buried in Jinling, the emperor's determination to move the capital would be greatly reduced.
The hundred officials fiercely objected, and the word of the whole said that the top priority was to let the queen rest in peace as soon as possible.
For a while, there was a lot of arguing, and everyone was fiercely opposed.
The contradictions in moving the capital were all exposed at this moment.
