The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 773 Zhu Yuanzhang is seriously ill and his grandson supervises the country
As the New Year is approaching, the capital begins to become more and more lively.

Even the cold weather can't stop the children from having fun playing on the streets.

The first snowfall at the end of Hongwu's 32nd year also started falling at this time.

The goose-feather-like heavy snow covers the ancient city of Nanjing, making it completely white as far as the eye can see.

Regarding the Tubo matter, Zhu Ying actually has no good solution now.

When the Mongols were raging across Europe and Asia, they relied on this guerrilla style of play. They never faced off against the enemy head-on when they were not sure. They relied on the high mobility of the cavalry to find the enemy's weaknesses and attack them. Sweeping across Europe and Asia.

Tubo was too big and had too few fortified cities. It was simply the home field of the cavalry.

Even if Zhu Ying sends all the Ming cavalry over, he can only chase Timur's cavalry around. Moreover, now that he and Bei Yuan are at odds, it has become troublesome to use their strength to fight.

The plan has changed. With the construction of railway tracks, Ming Dynasty should first concentrate its forces to capture the entire Beiyuan Dynasty, and then use the surrendered prairie cavalry to attack Timur. This is the right choice.

But for Tubo, the situation was worse.

Although winter is coming, Timur's cavalry cannot plunder everywhere, but most of the Tubo chieftains have already robbed all their food, and they cannot survive this winter at all.

It can be expected that most of the Tibetan people will freeze to death and starve to death this winter.

Fortunately, Zhu Ying was kind-hearted and issued an emergency order before winter.

He delivered a large amount of food to Uzzandusi City, and at the same time sent an order to all Tibetan people to take refuge in Uzzandusi City.

At the same time, there was a steady stream of food and cloth shipped to Uszangdusi City.

These foods are mainly sweet potatoes, with a small amount of rice.

For the Tibetan people who endured hunger and cold, having a mouthful of hot food was already a great blessing.

"Your Highness is kind-hearted, so the people of Tubo should be grateful and have done some cleaning up of Tubo. It will be difficult for the Tartars to collect food in the coming spring."

In Kunning Palace, Huang Guan said with a smile.

During this period of time, he could be considered free. After all, the technology of steam engines has reached its bottleneck. For the time being, it is almost difficult to make further progress.

Whether it is steam trains, railway construction, or other applications of steam engines, they have temporarily reached a stable state, so Huang Guan also stepped away from it.

Zhu Ying sighed and said: "The Northern Expedition will begin in the coming spring. I don't know how many years it will take to end this battle."

"The grassland is too big. If we want to fully integrate it into the rule of the Ming Dynasty, we can only build cities and build railway tracks to connect trains, and then slowly occupy the entire grassland and implement enlightenment."

“Only in this way can we achieve success once and for all.”

Just defeating it doesn't mean much to Zhu Ying. After planning for so long, of course he wants to completely solve the hidden dangers in the grassland.

It also saves future generations from running away from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Even if the Ming Dynasty is destroyed and a new dynasty is re-established in the land of the Central Plains, or a new era, it can only be Han people.

Huang Guan cupped his hands and bowed: "Your Highness has great righteousness. By conquering the grassland so completely, our Ming Dynasty will no longer have any worries about the grassland, and it will be praised throughout the ages."

Huang Guan said this sincerely. If he really does this, then Zhu Ying will definitely be known as the emperor of the ages and his name will go down in history.

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Okay, there is no need to say these words. The Northern Expedition is Grandpa's wish. I want to defeat Beiyuan quickly without spending too much time with them. However, my Ming Dynasty has strong troops and horses now, and I may be able to serve as the commander-in-chief." Not much."

"Many students who have graduated from the academy lack qualifications and experience. The Northern Expedition is related to the fate of our country, the Ming Dynasty. I intend to select all the generals in the Ming Dynasty. What does Huang Aiqing think?"

After hearing this, Huang Guan immediately understood the deeper meaning and couldn't help but ask: "Does Your Highness mean to send the King of Qin, King of Jin, King of Yan, and King of Qi back from Japan?"

Zhu Ying said: "Something might as well be said clearly. Grandpa has always had a grudge against the noble military generals of Huaixi. Now these veteran generals have made outstanding achievements. They have no title and no reward. This kind of annihilation Grandpa still wants to let his descendants do the important things on the grassland."

"My imperial uncles have been taught by my grandfather since they were young in terms of military strategy. They have inherited my grandfather's talents and are not weak to others when marching and fighting."

"Furthermore, several of the imperial uncles have been away for many years. Although grandpa didn't say anything, he actually missed them in his heart. Taking advantage of this important event, he also called everyone back so that we could be reunited."

Emperors have been ruthless since ancient times, but Zhu Yuanzhang is an exception.

Although in Lao Zhu's heart, he cares most about the prince's line, the other princes and grandsons are all his flesh and blood relatives, and they also attach great importance to them emotionally.

Huang Guan also did not expect that His Highness would be so indifferent to the affairs of the vassal king. You must know that vassal kings are a big trouble for all dynasties. Which emperor is not thinking of ways to suppress it, but His Highness has no such intention at all. , on the contrary, they care more about family reunion.

Huang Guan originally wanted to give him a few words of advice, but he just thought that in the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to worry about the vassal king.

The grandson was still young and already had firm control of the military power. Even if he planned something, he would not be able to stir up any trouble.

Qi Huang looked at the clothes His Highness was wearing. Even though it was freezing cold, he was not wrapped in thick clothes.

This was no show of prowess. When walking outside, Huang Guan shivered from the cold, but His Highness still looked calm. He could even feel the heat rising when he got close to His Highness.

The rumors that His Highness has profound martial arts skills are indeed true.

Under such circumstances, it means surviving a life span. Which vassal king can survive His Highness?

Right now.

The door of the main hall was suddenly knocked open. Zhu Ying looked and saw Liu He rushing in in a panic.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying immediately frowned and asked, "Why are you so alarmed?"

Liu He trembled and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is seriously ill. Please go quickly."

Zhu Ying was startled and immediately got up and rushed over.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in Kunning Palace, but in Huagai Palace.

When Zhu Ying arrived, the imperial doctor had already arrived.

In the inner hall of the Huagai Hall, Zhu Ying saw the imperial doctor checking his pulse, waving his hand to stop the eunuchs and maids from paying their respects, and waited.

Apparently the imperial doctor had just arrived, and there were three imperial doctors who came.

Zhu Ying also knew these three imperial doctors, and they were the three most respected people in the imperial hospital.

Zhu Ying had arranged a special carriage at Tai Hospital before, so he could arrive so quickly.

Zhu Ying looked around and saw that the old man had his eyes closed at the moment and didn't know what the situation was.

Not long after, the imperial doctor from the front came over.

"Meet the grandson."

Zhu Ying said: "Without courtesy, Doctor Chen, how is my grandfather doing now?"

Dr. Chen, who had white beard and white hair and was somewhat thin, immediately replied after hearing this: "I, Dr. Liu, and Dr. Zhang have taken turns to feel your majesty's pulse. After dialectical analysis, we concluded that it is Taiyang Yangming Syndrome. This is Taiyang, Yang. It is clear that the two meridians receive external evil into the body at the same time."

"It means that the fever caused by the sun, aversion to cold and no sweating, is the same as the troublesome heat caused by Yangming, which causes insomnia and other symptoms. The internal and external qi rise and fall abnormally, so there is no benefit and vomiting."

"Your Majesty is old and frail, and overworked. As a result, the two evil spirits entered his body and rushed up, and he fainted."

"The method of treatment is to first understand the surface of the sun, and the surface is resolved, and the interior of Yangming will be harmonious. If it is beneficial, it is better to use Pueraria lobata to raise the surface, and the benefit will be stopped. If there is vomiting, add pinellia, and the surface will be lowered, and the vomiting can be eliminated. "I have arranged for someone to prepare some medicine and prepare it. When Your Majesty changes clothes, Dr. Liu will use silver needles to dissipate heat and remove evil spirits, stabilize the Zhongyuan, and wake up."

Doctor Chen explained in detail that this was a procedure in the palace, and he had to explain in detail the results of his pulse diagnosis, including prescriptions and treatment methods.

Every word spoken here will be recorded in detail by a special eunuch.

Zhu Ying understood. The general meaning was that he caught a cold, which caused him to catch a cold, so he was afraid of the cold and had fever. He had vomiting and diarrhea, and then the old man fell into a coma.

A fire has been set up inside, and the eunuchs and maids are changing and wiping Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes. There is still a faint smell.

Zhu Ying nodded when he heard this. He didn't know medical skills, so he naturally chose to trust the imperial doctor.

Besides, with so much money invested in the medical school every year, if the old man can't even treat his cold, then he will really get angry.

Zhu Ying did not step forward to influence him, and asked Guo Zhong who was following him to bring a chair over, and he waited here.

Inside, Zhu Yuanzhang had already changed his clothes. Doctor Liu opened the medicine box and took out the silver needle. While inserting the needle into Zhu Yuanzhang, he said which acupuncture point he was inserting, while the eunuch beside him recorded it in the book.

Not long after, a muffled groan came, and Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes.

"What's wrong with us?" Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously very weak when he woke up. He looked at the surrounding scene and asked subconsciously.

Zhu Ying hurriedly came forward and said, "Grandpa, you caught wind and cold, which caused you to faint. It was Imperial Physician Liu who gave Grandpa acupuncture to relieve the symptoms, and the Imperial Hospital over there is already decoction."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand slightly, and Zhu Ying quickly held it.

"We were reading the memorial earlier. Unexpectedly, my stomach turned, I had a splitting headache, and I suddenly lost consciousness."

"It seems that we are really old and our body is no longer useful."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little labored when he spoke.

Zhu Ying said quickly: "It's not a big deal. It's been very cold recently, and grandpa also occasionally catches the wind and cold. He just needs to take a rest. It's not a big deal."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson seriously, and then sighed softly: "We just saw your grandma."

Zhu Ying was horrified and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, please don't think too much. I think I miss grandpa too much."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head away, not wanting to hear any more, and then said: "We are a little tired, so let's go down first."

Zhu Ying said: "My grandson is not going anywhere. He is just here guarding grandpa."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and shouted: "Nonsense, what do we want you to do? Get out of here quickly, we have to rest."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment and told Liu He next to him: "It is our decree that from today on, the grandson will supervise the country and rule the world."

Liu He next to him immediately knelt down and replied: "I obey the order."

Zhu Ying frowned. After hesitating for a few moments, he winked at Dr. Chen next to him, and then said, "Grandpa, my grandson will leave first."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent and did not speak.

Zhu Ying could only walk out of the back hall.

In the front hall, Zhu Ying did not leave, but waited.

Not long after, several imperial doctors came out.

Zhu Ying immediately asked: "Mr. Chen, what's going on?"

At that time, the old man said those words, saying that he saw your grandma. Zhu Ying looked at the old man's eyes and saw extreme longing, and there was something strange that made Zhu Ying feel scared.

Imperial Physician Chen and the two imperial physicians next to him looked at each other, and the two of them clasped their hands and stepped back. Imperial Physician Chen sighed and said, "Your Majesty may have been overly thinking about it, which may have caused him to become confused when he fainted, and he saw some hallucinations."

"Originally, this was not a big deal, but your majesty missed the queen too much. This illusion caused your majesty to fall into a heart disease. As a result, he lost all hope and his energy and blood were low."

"If this goes on for a long time, I am worried that your majesty's body will be unwell and your qi and blood will be out of balance. The wind and cold evil qi caused by your majesty will be trapped in your body. If this continues for a long time, I am afraid that your spleen and stomach will not be harmonious, resulting in loss of appetite, and the symptoms will be difficult to eliminate."

The illness came like a mountain. Zhu Ying had no idea that the old man was fine yesterday and suddenly he was like this.

"Is there any way?" Zhu Ying couldn't help but ask.

Doctor Chen said: "Physical illness is easy to cure, but mental illness is difficult to cure. If you want your Majesty to cheer up, you must first relieve your Majesty's mental illness."

"I will first cure your majesty's evil symptoms, and then prescribe some prescriptions to calm your nerves and regulate your qi. However, the most urgent task is to find a way to cheer up your majesty first."

At this time, the palace door opened, Zhu Ying turned around and saw that it was Concubine Ning who came.

"Empress." Zhu Ying cupped her hands and said.

Concubine Ning looked anxious and asked, "How is your Majesty's dragon body?"

Zhu Ying hesitated and said, "It's nothing serious. I'm just resting now."

Concubine Ning said: "I will go in first to see Your Majesty."

At that moment, Concubine Ning walked inside.

But not long after, it came out again.

Zhu Ying heard clearly that the old man said that he had nothing to do and needed to rest and not to disturb him again.

Concubine Ning had been with Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time. Of course she noticed something abnormal and asked the imperial doctor after coming out.

Doctor Chen looked at his grandson, saw him nodding, and then repeated what he had said before.

Concubine Ning did not expect that His Majesty would suddenly suffer from heart disease.

But Concubine Ning was someone who had been there, and she quickly thought of a way.

"When Your Majesty rests for a day or two and his health improves, your grandson will ask Xiao Wencheng to come over and accompany you."

"Your Majesty loves little Wen Cheng the most. He is His Majesty's pistachio. His Majesty's worries will naturally go away when he is around."

Zhu Ying's eyes lit up and she hurriedly bowed to Concubine Ning: "Thank you for your advice."

Concubine Ning said: "We are all one family, and this is my responsibility. Grandson, please go back to the palace first. I will just stay here to guard you."

Zhu Ying thought for a while and said, "Then there will be Lady Lao."

Now that the old man has asked him to supervise the country, he clearly doesn't want to deal with government affairs anymore.

Although many things are now handled by the Seventh Department, in fact, even if they follow the procedures, many arrangements still require the emperor's approval before they can be implemented.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in charge before, but now it must be Zhu Ying.
