Chapter 426
"Your majesty, you're awake!" Liu Hongjian hurriedly left all the ministers behind and sat down beside the bed to inquire.

How can a courtier sit by the bed?That's His Majesty the Emperor!

The eunuch Huang He who was waiting on the side wanted to remind Liu Hongjian not to be rude, but he opened his mouth and held back.

"Long live lord, you are awake. This servant has been very worried these two days, lest..." The eunuch would never miss any opportunity to express his heartfelt wishes, and Huang He was no exception.

The imperial physicians and several famous generals who guarded the city also hurriedly shouted long live to Voldemort.

Chongzhen said nothing.

"Your Majesty, how is your body feeling?" Liu Hongjian grasped Chongzhen's hand, feeling a little cold.

Chongzhen has gray hair and a tired face, his lips are chapped and cracked. This is a man who is only 35 years old, and he has been tortured by illness like this!

"I have a severe pain in my throat, I can't speak, I feel weak all over, thinking that the end is approaching... Liu Qing, I can't rest assured about Daming!" Chongzhen said with difficulty, his eyes flushed with unwillingness.

Although building slaves is no longer a serious problem, Daming is still a mess inside and out. How will these young princes deal with it?
Zhu Cihong was not even as old as when he himself ascended the throne. Even so, he was still being tricked by courtiers all these years.

Fortunately, God is not stingy, and the shadow of his ancestors has brought down such a great talent as Liu Hongjian, but... he also wants to see the prosperity of Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, don't be so pessimistic, maybe there is a turning point." Liu Hongjian immediately told Chongzhen the treatment plan he had just discussed with the imperial physicians.

The imperial physicians were obsequious and dared not say anything, they only said that cutting off the tumor would hopefully recover, even Qi Mingyin did not explain whose idea it was.

"The ministers misunderstood me, I don't believe them, Liu Qing, you are skilled in medicine, you once saved... the prince's life, now... I... also trouble Liu Qing, please let me do it!"

Chongzhen knew who came up with this bold idea with his toes, but he didn't say it explicitly.

A dying bird sings sadly, and a dying man speaks kindly.

People, only at the last moment of life can we often see the truth of the world clearly.

You can tell at a glance who is really helping you and who is perfunctory.

Daming was saved by Liu Hongjian, and no one dared to refute it. The crown prince Zhu Cihong was also dragged back from the gate of hell by Liu Hongjian in order to continue the foundation of Daming. This is well known.

Now myself...

As an emperor, he naturally wouldn't feel any guilt for his subjects doing things with all their heart, because that was their due duty.

But only the young man in front of him who was only five or six years older than the prince made Chongzhen feel very guilty and grateful.

He knew Liu Hongjian's temperament. He was a libertine and disliked officialdom. He had no ambition for power. If he hadn't imposed official positions on others, they might not care about them at all.

Power means responsibility, but most people just like power itself, but turn a blind eye to responsibility!
This young man helped his Zhu family and Daming too much.

"Yellow Crane, draw up the decree!" Chongzhen gasped as if he had made up his mind.

Liu Hongjian was about to stand up and salute, but Chongzhen held his arm.

"Long Live Lord, please speak, servants are waiting!" Huang He knelt beside a case and spread out a piece of bright yellow imperial paper.

Except for Emperor Chongzhen who was lying on the bed, and Liu Hongjian who was sitting beside the bed, the rest including generals, imperial physicians, bodyguards, and servants all knelt on the ground.

"Decree, Duke An of the Jin Dynasty was granted the title of King of Anguo County in the Ming Dynasty. If there is no accident, the crown prince Zhu Cihong will inherit the throne, and Princess Kunxing will marry the King of Anguo County as an equal wife."

The room was so quiet, only Chongzhen's hoarse voice resounded.

Huang He frantically wrote down the general purpose, and then a special person modified the words and sentences, and handed them over to Chongzhen for review.

Chongzhen's decree was earth-shattering, the county king, hereditary succession, succession of the crown prince, marriage of the princess...any one of them was a major event for Ming Dynasty.

Since Emperor Taizu Gao Weijia Hainei and Emperor Chengzu Jingnan granted several outstanding meritorious kings with different surnames, there has been no such kindness for more than 200 years.

The imperial physicians did not pay attention to political affairs, and the courtiers who most liked to refute Chongzhen were not around, and no one dared to speak.

Only a few generals from the frontier army and the Beijing camp were so happy that Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao secretly turned their heads and smiled at each other.

"If nothing happens to me, the king of Anguo County will be crowned as Grand Master and Grand Marshal of the World's Army and Horses, and he will be regent for five years!" Chongzhen gasped for a while, and then threw out an even more shocking reward.

Taishi, together with Taifu and Taibao, ranks among the three princes. Although he does not hold real power, it is the honor that courtiers all over the world covet.

No matter how many courtiers have spent ten years in poverty, devoted their entire lives to the court, and returned to their hometowns with gray hair, they would not be able to get this honor. How old is An Guogong, and he just held the crown ceremony last year!
The Grand Marshal of the World’s Soldiers and Horses is even more remarkable. No matter in name or in terms of power, the Grand Marshal of the Soldiers and Horses commands all the soldiers and horses in the world and controls all the generals. .

This position lasted for 300 years in the Ming Dynasty, and only Xu Da, the founding hero of Zhongshan, held this position.

The last one, five years of regency!There is a huge difference between the regent and the auxiliary government!

The auxiliary government is to assist, and the emperor still makes the final decision, and the regent!That is ingestion, and it is handling government affairs on behalf of the monarch. At critical times, it is even more important than the emperor's words.

When Huang He heard this, he dropped his pen on the table, and all the imperial doctors were sweating.

General Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao looked at each other again, also dumbfounded.

Emperor Taizu Gao most tabooed the centralization of power by his courtiers. In the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a regent. This is choking the throats of civil servants!

Is His Majesty confused when the military power and government affairs are grasped?

Everyone was thinking in their hearts, if the young man who was sealed in front of him had a bad intention... Da Ming... maybe he would have to change his appearance!

This is gambling!It's still a gamble!
"Write according to my wishes, if you dare to deceive, you will be punished with death! Cough cough cough cough." Seeing that Huang He didn't move his pen, Chongzhen said angrily at random.

He is indeed a gambler, but compared to handing over this big stall to those ministers in the court, thinking of those courtiers who only blow their noses and stare their eyes every day, Chongzhen can't help but hehe, it's better to give it a go !
And he didn't think he would lose at all, Liu Hongjian never let him down.

If this kid is ambitious, he definitely won't turn down those many awards, especially military positions, he often wants to quit immediately after the battle.

If this kid had ambitions, he could support himself as early as his first expedition to Shanhaiguan. After all, the frontier troops along Shanhaiguan were the only elite troops in Ming Dynasty at that time.

If this boy had ambition, he would definitely not risk his life to treat the prince when he was seriously ill.

This kid... is just too lazy.
