Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Jingtai time and space, the eighth year of Jingtai, the first month.

It’s just the New Year, and there should still be a festive aftertaste.

But now the palace seems very dull.

Not many festive colors can be seen.

This is not just because a series of things have happened since the Tumu Fort Incident.

As a result, to this day, many people still have not been able to fully recover from what happened at that time.

For example, the Empress Dowager Sun, the original emperor Zhu Qizhen...

Especially Zhu Qizhen, who was released by Wala and revered as the Supreme Emperor, and now His Majesty has deposed the original Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen.

After his own son, who was made the prince, passed away, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense.

Not only the palace, but the entire Ming Dynasty seemed very subtle...

In the palace, after the Tumubao Incident, there was no sense of New Year during the New Year.

But no matter what, we still have to celebrate the New Year after all.

Even if there are some reasons, the atmosphere is much better than usual.

But this time, it was very different from usual.

This time, the atmosphere in the palace was particularly dull.

Dull to the point of being depressing.

The reason for this is that His Majesty is currently ill.

And he was quite seriously ill.

The emperor's illness was a serious matter in itself.

Especially if he is seriously ill, especially if the emperor is seriously ill and in poor health and has no heirs.

The current Supreme Emperor is still there, and the emperor has not been established, and someone else is the crown prince.

The atmosphere became even more bizarre.

People's hearts are in turmoil...

……

The atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lived was even more solemn.

The strong smell of herbs filled the Qianqing Palace.

Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu was lying on the bed. His body was not very strong, but now he looked even thinner.

The whole person looks sallow, thin, and has a gloomy look.

The clothes that originally fit him looked empty when worn on him.

Although he hasn't run out of gas yet, his overall condition doesn't look good at all.

With further cooperation, the eunuch standing beside him looked worried.

It makes people feel that the situation is not good.

The emperor had been ill for several days and had not been in court for several days.

All the ministers basically knew the news that the emperor was seriously ill.

It is also because of this that now, not only the atmosphere in the palace is solemn, but also in many places.

Many people live uneasy lives...

The atmosphere in Qianqing Palace seemed to be stagnant.

The smell of medicine filled the air, and several eunuchs tried their best not to make the slightest sound.

Only Zhu Qiyu's breathing, which seemed a bit heavy and difficult, kept sounding...

"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."

After a while, a eunuch carrying a bowl of medicine walked in quietly, came to a place not far from Zhu Qiyu, and said aloud.

Zhu Qiyu, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes after hearing this.

"Don't eat!"

He said aloud: "What do people from Taiyuan Hospital do for food?
Can't you cure even a minor illness? ! "

Zhu Qiyu's voice was full of dissatisfaction.

There are still some unwillingness.

"Your Majesty, illness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes away like a thread spinning.

Generally speaking, if you get sick, you won't get better quickly.

Your Majesty, only by taking medicine can you recover from your illness as quickly as possible and keep your body and bones strong..."

The eunuch came out to persuade him. This eunuch was the old man who had been around when Zhu Qiyu was still a prince.

Belongs to Zhu Qiyu, a rare confidant in this palace.

Zhu Qiyu, after listening to the eunuch's words, was silent for a while and sighed.

Then he slowly raised his left hand.

When the eunuch saw this, he quickly walked over and helped Zhu Qiyu up.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the bedside, and the eunuch hurriedly scooped up the soup with a spoon and prepared to feed Zhu Qiyu the medicine.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and took the medicine bowl.

Then he drank it all in one breath.

Not many medicinal soups taste good. They are either bitter or have various and indescribable tastes.

Otherwise, there would be no saying that good medicine tastes bitter and is good for diseases.

But Zhu Qiyu, at this time, seemed to feel no pain at all.

He finished the bowl of soup without even frowning.

Even the look on his face didn't change at all.

Not only that, but he also drank the last drop of medicine in the medicine bowl.

Not a bit was wasted.

It’s as if this particularly bitter medicine is something delicious...

Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu said that the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital were useless.

But when he actually drank the medicine, he still drank it very cleanly.

What can he do?

I can only drink as much medicine as possible to make my body better.

He didn't want to die, he wanted to get better.

As an emperor who was appointed in a critical situation, he was well aware that the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil. Even though he was the emperor, he was surrounded by wolves.

He knows very well how important his body is.

If I wasn't sick, everything would be fine.

But once one's body and bones are not in good condition, I'm afraid a lot of troubles will easily arise.

So he must make his body better.

No matter how bitter and unpleasant the medicine is, he will grit his teeth and drink it!

After drinking the medicine, Zhu Qiyu lay back down again without rinsing his mouth.

Quietly savoring the bitterness in your mouth.

No matter how bitter this medicine is, it is not as bitter as my own heart...

After a while, another eunuch came over.

He whispered back: "Your Majesty, the Grand Master is here."

After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes, braced himself, and asked someone to help him up.

He thought for a moment, straightened his clothes, and stopped sitting on the bed.

They all got off the bed and sat on the chair...

Just these movements made Zhu Qiyu a little unable to bear it, and he was sweating slightly on his forehead.

People are also a little breathless.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened his clothes, and waited for a while to let his breathing stabilize.

Then he said: "Let the Grand Master come in."

After a while, someone came from outside.

Upon hearing the footsteps approaching from far away, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu immediately cheered up.

Everyone seems to be in a lot of spirits.

"My lord, Shi Heng, pays homage to His Majesty and wishes His Majesty the best."

The man who came in was a military commander, and his body seemed relatively strong.

As soon as he came in, he immediately saluted Zhu Qiyu.

Shi Heng now has the title of Prince and Grand Master.

"I'm safe."

Zhu Qiyu said aloud.

Then he waved his hand and said: "Master, there is no need to be polite, just give him a seat."

When Zhu Qiyu's voice fell, someone immediately followed Zhu Qiyu's words and brought a stool to Shi Heng.

After Shi Heng thanked him, he sat down carefully.

It seems that he is very respectful to Zhu Qiyu

"I asked you to come to see me today because I have something I want to explain.

The Grand Master's hard work and merits are great. In the battle to defend the capital, the Grand Master made great efforts.

I have never forgotten this.

Over the years, I am very happy that Grand Master has been diligent and loyal in his work.

I have always regarded the Grand Master as a confidant and entrusted me with important responsibilities...

Many of the palace guards are under the control of the Grand Master. These days, the Grand Master has a lot of troubles to worry about..."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Shi Heng, and after saying something, he didn't say any more nonsense.

He immediately changed the topic to business matters.

First of all, the courtesy from before is enough.

Secondly, his body doesn't allow it.

Sitting here, he still felt dizzy and weak.

After sitting here for a while, I felt a little unbearable and couldn't sit for too long.

Hearing Zhu Qiyu talk about the battle to defend the capital and other matters here, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the success of the battle to defend the capital is all due to your majesty's meritorious command in the face of danger.

I am just following His Majesty's orders and bravely killing the enemy.

The greatest credit belongs to His Majesty.

I also deeply feel His Majesty's love and loyalty to His Majesty, and I have never slacked off..."

Shi Heng immediately showed his loyalty here.

Both his demeanor and tone were extremely normal, without the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.

There's nothing strange about it at all.

But in fact, he was already filled with dissatisfaction in his heart.

I feel that Emperor Jingtai is not a human being and I feel sorry for him.

In the battle to defend the capital, he, Shi Heng, obviously made great contributions.

But Zhu Qiyu only had Yu Qian in his eyes.

It was as if the entire battle to defend the capital was due to Yu Qian and had nothing to do with him, Shi Heng.

Although he, Shi Heng, also received promotions and awards.

But he felt that this award was not enough.

Especially after looking at Yu Qian's status, Shi Heng became even more jealous beyond recognition.

However, when he was thinking this, he completely forgot who was the one who, against all opinions, reinstated him, a defeated general who should have been held accountable, and entrusted him with important tasks.

Let him commit crimes and perform meritorious service in the battle to defend the capital.

If it weren't for Yu Qian, it would be impossible for him to have his current status at this time!
It can be said that Yu Qian gave him a chance and even a new life!
But some people are just like this, typically ungrateful and unable to remember the kindness others have done to them.

My mind is filled with grievances and how others have wronged me...

After saying some words here, Zhu Qiyu made a promise to Shi Heng.

Let Shi Heng live a good life and express that he will never treat Shi Heng badly in the future.

And Shi Heng responded enthusiastically.

He was so excited that he almost burst into tears with gratitude.

When talking to Zhu Qiyu, Shi Heng seemed to have nothing strange on the surface.

In fact, he has been carefully and covertly observing Zhu Qiyu's condition...

"Master, go back.

That's all I have to say.

My health has improved greatly.

In two days, we can go to court..."

After talking to Shi Heng, Zhu Qiyu ended the conversation.

Upon hearing this, Shi Heng immediately saluted Zhu Qiyu.

He expressed his joy and expectations for Zhu Qiyu's recovery.

It is said that this is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the country and the country.

This is the best news he has ever heard!

He looked extremely happy about Zhu Qiyu's recovery.

Zhu Qiyu watched Shi Heng leave with a smile on his face.

There was some relaxed smile on his face.

But after Shi Heng left, Zhu Qiyu's body, which was sitting as straight as possible, suddenly collapsed.

A large amount of sweat fell down from my forehead...

The confidant eunuch quickly stepped forward, carefully supported Zhu Qiyu, helped him to the bed, and lay down again...

Zhu Qizhen gasped for air and sweated profusely. It seemed like a conversation just sitting there. It has exhausted all his energy,
Thinking back to Shi Heng's reaction when he summoned Shi Heng just now.

Zhu Qiyu nodded.

I am quite satisfied with Shi Heng's reaction.

Regarding Shi Heng, Zhu Qiyu was relatively relieved.

Although now, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, whether they are veterans of the orthodox time and space, or new ministers of the Jingtai Dynasty who rose up during the defense of the capital.

There are many people inside who seem to be alien to me.

They all seem to still regard themselves as temporary emperors.

He didn't really regard himself as the emperor.

But...Shi Heng is still relatively trustworthy.

After all, Shi Heng was the one who rose up again after the battle to defend the capital.

It can be said that Shi Heng promoted it by himself.

And just now, I expressed my high hopes for him

In this case, Shi Heng can still believe it.

In addition, he revealed to him that his condition had slowed down and that in two days, he would be able to return to the court to continue handling government affairs.

It can be regarded as a reassurance for Shi Heng and others.

Let these people stop thinking nonsense at this time.

He will not make any inappropriate actions.

Overall, this court is still under his control.

There won't be much trouble...

Thinking like this, Zhu Qiyu soon fell into a drowsy sleep...

……

After Shi Heng left Qianqing Palace, in a deserted place, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

What kind of nonsense is this Zhu Qiyu talking about?
He himself was already on the verge of death, yet he still dared to treat himself carelessly here.

Still want to win over yourself?

He also made so many promises to himself...

It really blinded him!
If Zhu Qiyu is in good health, he will naturally take Zhu Qiyu's words to heart.

But Zhu Qiyu has reached a state of exhaustion...

Good guy Zhu Qiyu, he pretended very well this time, but through various details, Shi Heng could see that Zhu Qiyu was just trying to hold on.

It seems to be in good condition.

But in fact, his body has already deteriorated to a certain extent.

The grasshoppers who belong to the post-autumn period can only hop around for a few days.

If this guy had a son, things would be different.

But he didn't even have a son.

Under such circumstances, I still said these words to myself, trying to use this method to make myself loyal to him...

How is this possible!

On the way back, Shi Heng looked thoughtful.

His expression was anything but calm.

He realized that he should do something!

The new emperor and the old emperor are dying and have no heirs.

This is a very dangerous moment.

But at the same time, it is also full of huge opportunities!
If you don't seize the opportunity yourself, it's easy for others to seize the opportunity.

So as to solve yourself.

If you can seize the opportunity, it will be a complete success of following the dragon!
You can jump into the sky!

From now on, you will get rid of your original destiny.

The whole person becomes very different.

Even, he can be as majestic as Yu Qian!
Looking at Yu Qian's current prestige, Shi Heng is really envious!
But...under such circumstances, what should I do to seize the opportunity?

So as to completely turn over?

Shi Heng's mind was filled with thoughts.

After half a day, Shi Heng had an idea...

……

“I met with Your Majesty today.

His Majesty's condition...is very bad.

The whole person looked like he was about to run out of gas.

It's hard to hold on for much longer.

We need to make plans early.

This critical moment must be fought for.

If you don’t fight, others will fight.

If others compete for it, it will be a good thing if we can't fall behind.

This time is very dangerous, but it is also a great opportunity.

If you catch it, you will become famous.

If you can't catch it, keep your tail between your legs from now on!

I'm afraid that if we want to keep our tail between our legs and be a good person, others won't give us a chance! "

In a hidden room, Shi Heng looked at the two people in front of him and said aloud.

One of these two people is Zhang Qian, the right governor of Qianfu, and the other is the eunuch Cao Jixiang.

After hearing what Shi Heng said, both of their expressions couldn't help but be moved.

Among them, Cao Jixiang wanted to say something more to shirk the blame and cover up.

Show that you don't think so.

“Now that things have come to this point, let’s open the skylight and speak frankly.

Stop playing with those imaginary things.

In fact, at this time, there is not much time left for us.

If you go around in circles and laugh, you will only miss the opportunity.

At this time, don't hide anything.

After all these years, who doesn’t know who?
It would be better to explain these things clearly. "

After hearing Shi Heng's simple and straightforward words, the expressions of Cao Jixiang and Zhang Qian couldn't help but change.

It seems a little embarrassing.

There was still a sneer on Cao Jixiang's face.

The words he was about to say were swallowed back by him.

After his eyes flickered for a moment, he looked at Shi Heng and spoke.

"Grand Master, this matter does sound urgent.

Mainly, His Majesty's illness really doesn't make you optimistic about money.

The day before yesterday, everyone was in a coma for nearly an hour before waking up.

He really doesn't have much time left.

The situation is not good.

On our side, we really should have made some plans early.

It's just...just now, if we want to make some plans, what should we do?

I think what Yu Qian's group of people revealed was that they were preparing to persuade the emperor again to make the emperor's son the prince.

That group of people has nothing to do with us.

And they have already raised this matter.

Even if we get together again, we are determined not to be treated as such.

Even if we can really get together, this thing has really been done.

We inside also don’t have much credit.

The majority of the credit will still be taken away by Yu Qian and others..."

For Cao Jixiang and others, if they cannot make the first contribution in this kind of thing.

In fact, it is better not to do it.

After all, their status is already quite high.

There is no need to do something thankless anymore. Go on the run.

Hearing Cao Jixiang say these words, Zhang Qian beside him no longer remained silent.

He said: "That's true.

In addition to them, I heard that Wang Wen also took action.

He advocated establishing the son of King Zhu Xiang, Zhu Zhanyi, as the crown prince.

Seriously speaking, His Majesty has no children today.

It seems that among those clans, only the son of King Xiang Zhu Zhanyi is the most suitable to be the heir apparent.

In this regard, someone robbed me of the opportunity again!

Apart from Zhu Zhanzhen's son, and the Emperor's son Zhu Jianshen, what other good choices are there?

Even if we forcefully create another one, we have no chance of winning.

On the contrary, the gains outweigh the losses.

Easily defeated..."

When they said this again, both of them looked a little uncomfortable and frustrated.

How great would it be if they took action before this?
You don't have to be as passive as you are now.

After the two said these words, they found a smile on Shi Heng's face.

The look is completely different from theirs,
I couldn't help but be stunned.

This...does Shi Heng have any good ideas?
At that moment, Cao Jixiang took the lead and said, "Is there any better candidate for Grand Master?"

Hearing this, Shi Heng nodded and said, "Is there really a good candidate like this?"

Is there really a suitable candidate? !

"Then...who is this person?"

Zhang Qian and Cao Jixiang both had doubtful looks on their faces.

When Shi Heng saw this, he stopped trying to keep it secret.

He said: "This person... is the Supreme Emperor!

Have you all forgotten about him?
He is the real emperor of my Ming Dynasty!

His Majesty's current throne was taken away from him! "

After hearing what Shi Heng said, Cao Jixiang and Zhang Qian were both surprised.

His complexion changed drastically.

What happened before was really too tragic.

Too embarrassing.

And it's also more complicated.

By now, "Tai Shang Huang" has almost become a taboo word.

As a result, Shi Heng actually carried him out now? !

"This...isn't this a bit bad?

What the Supreme Emperor did before was really... a bit too embarrassing.

That is the true humiliation of losing a teacher and humiliating the country!
What have you done to me, Daming?

These are easier to say, but the key... The key is that he called the door!
This... is really...

Not many people would agree with him.

We might even suffer eternal infamy..."

As Cao Jixiang spoke, Zhang Qian beside him also expressed a similar meaning.

Hearing this, Shi Heng smiled and said: "You two are quite smart people, why are you so confused now?

You are all wrong!

Don't worry about how many things the Supreme Emperor has done that has caused great harm to the country.

Never mind what you did before, how embarrassing it was.

Nothing can be changed.

That is - he is the son of the late emperor!

He is also the emperor of Ming Dynasty, a serious person.

His Majesty's current throne was snatched from his hands.

Legally speaking, he is the Supreme Emperor.

As for whether others agree or not... will they laugh at us because of this?

It's not up to them.

As long as the Supreme Emperor can sit on the throne again.

All that will return to peace.

You have to recognize those people, you have to recognize them, you have to recognize them even if you don’t recognize them!

At that point, it won't be up to them.

Moreover, since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.

As long as we get things done, how many people will laugh at us?
How to write history books, won't it also be decided by us?

The Supreme Emperor is the most orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
Even if Emperor Taizu Gao is resurrected and appears in front of us, he has to admit this! ! "(End of chapter)
