My Daming New Empire

Page 562

Could it be that the throne of the Ming Dynasty can only be passed on to grandchildren, not sons?

All eyes were on Zhu Gaochi, who was held in Zhu Zhanji's arms. If his health was really bad, then the emperor's imperial conquest and grandson's supervision of the country would be justified.

So whether to object or not depends on whether Zhu Gaochi can hold on.

However, everyone knew that the crown prince was gone.

Even if his body is fine, the emperor will not let him supervise the country after such a thing happened.

Although Zhu Di didn't like Zhu Gaochi, he absolutely didn't want Zhu Gaochi to have an accident at this time.

If he, the crown prince, died, he would have to postpone the Western Expedition if he wanted to.After spring, there is no north wind, and it is even more difficult to go out.

"Give me careful diagnosis and treatment, if you can't save the prince, what use are you for!"

Zhu Zhanji also absolutely does not want Zhu Gaochi to die at this time. If he dies, many things will be postponed.

But once Zhu Gaochi vomited blood, he couldn't control it anymore, and he spit out a large mouthful of thick phlegm and blood clots. After a while, the white marble platform on the second floor was a mess, and Zhu Zhanji also had a lot of blood on his body.

The two imperial physicians were shocked when they heard Zhu Di's words. One of the elderly imperial physicians sighed and took out a box of silver needles. "Your Highness, please help me to untie the clothes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to expose my chest and abdomen. Also, Your Highness needs to lie flat until I give the needle."

Zhu Zhanji didn't dare to delay, and tore off Zhu Gaochi's clothes, revealing his white and greasy body. "Go get two quilts."

A group of young eunuchs were already in a panic. After hearing what Zhu Zhanji said, several of them ran out in a hurry.

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi had spit out a large amount of blood below, Zhu Di couldn't help but sighed. "That's all for today's discussion. After five days, depending on the situation of the prince, we will hold a grand court meeting."

Jian Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to pray for His Royal Highness on behalf of the officials."

Zhu Di also knew that he couldn't drive everyone out, so he said, "Officials below the third rank stay away. Besides, you bachelors, stay here too."

Following the orders of the eunuchs, most of the courtiers left Fengtian Hall in an orderly manner after a while.

After leaving Fengtianmen, they couldn't hold back the shock in their hearts any longer, and whispered.

Today, everyone in Honglu Temple and Jinyiwei became nervous because the prince suddenly vomited blood, but no one maintained order.As for those censors, I couldn't help but discuss what happened today.

Whether the emperor wants the grandson to supervise the country, or the prince vomits blood, these are all major events that will affect the fate of the Ming Dynasty in the future!

After crossing the Jinshui Bridge and exiting the Meridian Gate, they made an appointment to return to their yamen together.

What can be imagined is that today no one has the heart to deal with official duties.

In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Gaochi had been placed flat in front of Zhu Zhanji's original sitting position, and burning charcoal basins were placed around him.

His upper body clothes have been opened, covered with silver needles, and even his head is covered with silver needles, looking like a hedgehog.

After the silver needle was pricked, his hematemesis stopped, and he regained a trace of clarity, but he was sluggish.

A piece of chewing wood was placed in his mouth because he was afraid that he would cough up blood and block his trachea, and even more that he would lose his mind and talk indiscriminately.

He kept muttering something in his mouth, but no one could hear him clearly.

Zhu Di didn't move. He stood on the stage, frowning and looking down at his son.

Everyone's attention was on Zhu Gaochi, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

Outside the Fengtian Hall, the Zhang family and Zhu Gaochi's wives and concubines were weeping silently.

Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, and Jinshen Hall are the three main halls in the palace.

Especially the Fengtian Hall, which is the most important place in the country, even when the empress was alive, she could only enter the hall during three festivals a year.

No woman is allowed to enter without the emperor's permission.

Zhu Gaochi suddenly vomited blood, and it was not suitable for him to move his body. When they got the news, they only dared to cry outside Fengtian Hall, not even crying out loud.

Although his health has been deteriorating over the years, his lust has never been weaker. He takes medicine every day and has sex with women.

Although he respects Mrs. Zhang the most, Mrs. Zhang is nearly forty years old, and only one or two nights a year, he will rest in Mrs. Zhang's apse.

Mrs. Zhang is now used to being without him, and the only things she can miss are a few biological children, especially Zhu Zhanji.

Therefore, although she was also crying, she was calmer than everyone else.

But in his harem, there are many other young and beautiful concubines, all of whom are panicking now.

Because according to the clan law, all concubines who have no children will be buried with Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi is not in good health, even if he has sex with a woman, he basically lets the woman take the initiative.

After Yongle gave birth to her tenth son, Zhu Zhanyu, in the 15th year of Yongle, she had no more children.

Most of them are less than 20 years old, enjoying the glory and wealth in the palace, how can they be willing to die?

In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Gaochi's breathing gradually calmed down. The two imperial physicians finally felt relieved when they saw his pulse gradually stabilized.

The environment in which the imperial physicians of the Ming Dynasty lived was relatively relaxed, and basically they would not be implicated because of incurable diseases.

But just now Zhu Di said harsh words out of desperation, if the prince could not be saved, their fate would be hard to say under the emperor's golden words.

Although the weather was cold, the two imperial physicians were sweating all over, so they dared to breathe heavily at this time.

Zhu Zhanji naturally also saw that Zhu Gaochi was fine now, so he helped him remove the chewing wood in his mouth, and asked someone to bring ginseng soup for him to feed.

When Zhu Gaochi was stabbed like a hedgehog, he had gradually come to his senses.

The first feeling after waking up is that all thoughts are hopeless, and at the same time, there is also a feeling of resignation.

When he was young, his father didn't like him, he liked his second younger brother more, even the third younger brother who was a bit vicious was favored more than him.

Later, the father liked Zhanji, and even dismissed him.

Why did he keep trying to please him, but he turned a blind eye?

He is the emperor, he has the world in his heart, but he is his son after all!

Zhu Zhanji helped him take off the chewing wood, and after the imperial doctor took off the silver needle, he pulled up his clothes.

He took a few breaths, although he didn't want to drink ginseng soup, but he also knew that what he needed now was to recover his strength.

He looked at Zhu Zhanji with a concerned face, as if he saw his father with a serious face.He couldn't help asking softly, "Why?"

Zhu Zhanji froze for a moment, and handed the spoon to his mouth. "Father, your health is important, so drink this bowl of ginseng soup first."

Zhu Gaochi really woke up this time. This is his son Zhanji, not his father.

After taking a few sips from a bowl of ginseng soup, he was stopped by the elderly doctor Sun. "His Royal Highness is physically weak and internally dry. Although this ginseng is good, His Royal Highness is not tonic, but he can't take too much."
