Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 176 For the Ming Dynasty
When he came to Zhang Weixian's place, he smelled the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly. Thinking of what he knew, he knew that Zhang Weixian's time had really come.

"Your Majesty~"

Zhang Zhiji, who was leading the way, saw Emperor Chongzhen stop, and hurriedly bowed, "Father..."

"Go, take me to see the British Duke."

Emperor Chongzhen walked forward with a serious expression, and said, "The Duke of England is my loyal and loyal man. I came late this time, and it shouldn't be like this."

Zhang Shize, Zhu Chunchen, Sun Zushou, Sun Chuanting and others who were accompanying him showed different expressions, especially for Zhang Shize, he felt nothing but moved.

A majestic son of heaven, busy with government affairs, even though Zhang Weixian was entrusted with important tasks before, what a favor it is to be the Emperor Chongzhen.

"My lord Yingying, I'm late." Emperor Chongzhen walked into the room, ignored the maidservant who hurriedly saluted him, walked quickly to the sick bed, saw Zhang Weixian with a dazed and haggard face, and said with emotion: " Zhang Qing~ You need to get well soon, I still need Zhang Qing to help you manage Daming."

The people who came in with Emperor Chongzhen saw Emperor Chongzhen revealing his true feelings, sitting beside the sick bed in disregard of his dignity, and pulling Zhang Weixian's freckle-covered Shou, all of them felt emotional.

Zhang Zhiji, Zhang Shize and his son, with slightly red eyes and a little agitated, stood where they were, not knowing what to say for a while.

This time he came to the British government to visit Zhang Weixian who was seriously ill and bedridden. Emperor Chongzhen kept his posture very low, with an attitude of attaching great importance to Zhang Weixian, which made people feel that the emperor is benevolent.

"emperor……"

Zhang Weixian, who was lying on the sickbed, could no longer see who the person in front of him was with hazy eyes, but he became emotional when he heard the familiar voice.

Zhang Weixian never imagined that he would get sick so quickly, and even his consciousness became unclear in many cases, but an obsession in his heart was struggling to support him.

One door and two countries.

When the country was in turmoil, Emperor Chongzhen promised him such a promise. Faced with such a temptation, Zhang Weixian was ordered by the emperor to be the governor of the Beijing camp, and even offended some relatives. However, affected by the situation at that time, Zhang Weixian He didn't think about which of his heirs would be the hereditary duke of the country, so Zhang Weixian didn't tell others, not even Zhang Zhiji.

However, when Emperor Chongzhen left Beijing and was appointed assistant minister, Zhang Weixian's energy was greatly consumed during this period, and even the pressure on his heart emptied Zhang Weixian's vitality.

"Zhang Qing, I'm here."

Seeing Zhang Weixian, whose eyes were blurred before, suddenly like this, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly said, but secretly pondered in his heart, could it be that this Zhang Weixian didn't tell Zhang Zhiji what he had promised verbally before?
"The emperor..."

Zhang Weixian, who was emotional, murmured, but he couldn't say the words in his heart, which made him very anxious.

Although his body is out of control, Zhang Weixian's spirit is extremely active.

"Your Majesty, my father is so excited because he heard your voice." Seeing this, Zhang Zhiji hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "My father did not dare to forget your majesty's high expectations. During the time when he was a minister, he never went back to the mansion, and now he knows that His Majesty has returned home in triumph, so..."

When talking about this, Zhang Zhiji became choked up.

There is such a thing? !

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, held Zhang Weixian's hand, and subconsciously clenched it a few times. Zhang Zhiji's words forced him to verify his previous thinking.

If Zhang Weixian made a verbal agreement with Zhang Weixian, because Zhang Weixian felt that the matter was too big, and he hadn't thought about accepting another so-called hereditary Duke candidate, it is very likely that he would not have mentioned this matter to others, even Zhang Zhiji. I haven't talked about it.

"emperor……"

In the ears of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Weixian's weak murmur sounded again, which brought Emperor Chongzhen back to his senses, and he patted Zhang Weixian's hand lightly, and said: "Zhang Qing, I know what you want to say, you have not let me down. , I will never let down my Da Ming Zhongliang."

Right now, these are just conjectures and cannot be corroborated, so the promised things must be done, but it is definitely impossible to confer the title of a hereditary duke.

Hearing these words, Zhang Weixian seemed to feel a little relieved. At this moment, deep in his heart, he was extremely regretful. Why didn't he tell his eldest son what he knew at the beginning.

Putting Zhang Weixian's hand on the sickbed, Emperor Chongzhen stood up, looked at the people standing in the room, and said indifferently: "At the beginning, the country was threatened, and the Jianren were burning. The British knew the difficulties of the country. Share your worries and take the initiative to take on the burden of rectifying the Beijing camp."

When talking about this, Emperor Chongzhen's gaze stayed on Zhu Chunchen for a moment, while the others, hearing the words of the emperor, all showed different expressions.

"At that time, I promised the Duke of England that if the crisis of the country can be eliminated, I will never treat those who have made contributions to our Ming Dynasty lightly." He is loyal and good, and he is a model for his relatives, and the Duke of England is bedridden with serious illness in order to share my worries."

Zhang Weixian, who was lying on the sickbed, heard what Emperor Chongzhen said intermittently, and his whole body became agitated, but his body that had lost its vitality made him unable to move at all.

"Zhang Qing~"

Seeing this scene, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly lifted up the sleeves of his robe under the gaze of everyone, sat down by the sick bed again, held Zhang Weixian's trembling hand, and said with emotion: "Zhang Qing has paid so much for my Ming Dynasty, I will never let you down!" I will not disappoint Zhang Qing's loyalty.

The lineage of the British Duke should have more glory. One family and two hereditary titles are the only ones I can give to Zhang Qing. When Zhang Qing recovers from illness, I should recommend him to me. "

At this moment, the people headed by Zhu Chunchen, Sun Zushou, Sun Chuanting, and Zhang Zhiji, after hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, their faces changed drastically, and they looked at Emperor Chongzhen in disbelief.

This honor must be too heavy.

As for Zhang Weixian, who was lying on the sickbed, he suddenly became excited when he heard what Emperor Chongzhen said. The obsession in his heart was fulfilled by the emperor.

"Zhang Qing, please take care of your health." Emperor Chongzhen patted Zhang Weixian's hand with a moving expression, and said, "I will send an imperial physician from the palace, Pang Tianshou, from today onwards, you will be by Zhang Qing's side to serve you. The Duke of England’s disease must be cured, and I still need the Duke of England’s help.”

Some of the words that Emperor Chongzhen said were for Zhang Weixian, some were for those who accompanied him, and some were for Pang Tianshou, but to Zhu Chunchen and the others, they felt the trust and kindness of the emperor towards Zhang Weixian. Pet.

It's just that no one knew that Emperor Chongzhen only vaguely stated that the British lineage is a hereditary title with two families, but he didn't mention the "Duke of the Kingdom" and he had to wait for Zhang Weixian to recover, so he would give himself There is room for maneuver.

If Zhang Zhiji knows something, then we will talk about other things at that time, but if Zhang Zhiji doesn't know, then he will order the British lineage, and a hereditary earl will be regarded as the loyalty of the British lineage .

And from now on, the line of the British public will be completely labeled as a fan of the emperor, and will become the pioneer of Emperor Chongzhen's purge of the Ming dynasty.
