Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 414 Lao Zhu's Expedited Death List!
Lao Zhu had been lying on the bed for a long time, but he was still unwilling to open his eyes, let alone face the crowd.

Because once he opened his eyes, he had to accept the cruel reality.

He's about to lose another son...

Zhu Yuanzhang asked himself over and over in his heart, how could this happen? Zhu Yan has always been in good health, why is he dying soon?

Could it be that I have lived too long and encroached on the lifespan of my descendants?
To be old and not die is to be a thief, I have indeed lived too long...

Zhu Yuanzhang struggled for a long time before struggling to sit up from the bed.When he saw that the room was full of people, even Zhu Xi, that rebellious son, was kneeling at the side, he suddenly raised his hand weakly, and waved to everyone.

"Hao Wenjie and Zhang Zhenren stay here, everyone else get out!"

Zhu Xi knelt on the ground and stretched his neck unwillingly. Seeing that the old man didn't even bother to look at him, he could only follow the crowd out resentfully.

When only Lao Zhu, Hao Wenjie, and Zhang Sloppy were left in the ward, Lao Zhu spoke quietly.

"Is it really hopeless?"

Zhang Sloppy shook his head and said.

"It's hard!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately found hope from these two short words. Zhang Shenxian said it was difficult, so there is still hope?

"Zhang Shenxian, no matter what the price is, we must cure the emperor!"

"We are already at this age, and we really can't bear the tragedy of a white-haired person giving away a black-haired person, woo woo woo..."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad. If the treatment is done properly, His Highness Prince Jin still has a chance."

"only……"

When Zhang Sloppy said this, he couldn't help looking at Hao Wenjie who was aside, but Hao Wenjie kept giving him winks, signaling him to shut up quickly.

Hao Wenjie regrets one thing now, he should not have told the truth to Zhang Sloppy just now, he should have told him that there is no hope, and prepare the coffin quickly!
Now Zhang Sloppy has aroused the hope of the old emperor. If he messes up in the end, wouldn't he be buried with King Jin?

Seeing Hao Wenjie like this, Zhang Sloppy murmured in his heart for a while, wondering whether he should tell the truth to His Majesty the Emperor.

While he was pondering, Lao Zhu couldn't take it anymore, he hammered the bed board vigorously and said angrily.

"At this time, you two are still playing charades with us?"

"Hao Wenjie, come and tell us whether our emperor is still alive or not!"

When Hao Wenjie heard Lao Zhu's majestic voice, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground to sift the chaff.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, under normal circumstances, there is no cure for His Royal Highness Jin Wang's illness. However, the emperor's grandson stole immortal medical skills from the fairy world, maybe you can try it..."

"Then try it!"

"Your Majesty, this method is very dangerous. It is necessary to knock open the head of His Royal Highness King Jin and remove the tumor inside..."

"This method can be said to be close to death..."

When Lao Zhu heard such a scary cure, he became depressed on the spot.

Can a person still live if their head is knocked open?
In the end, our emperor was not cured, and left a dead body?

"Is there no better way?"

Hao Wenjie kowtowed his head deeply when he heard the words, Lao Zhu knew that this was the only way without even asking.

"Only [-]% sure?"

Hao Wenjie raised his head and gave Lao Zhu a bitter smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Yicheng is too much to say, but it is actually smaller than Yicheng..."

"The current level of Huimin Medical Center only cuts out the appendix and simply treats the trauma, and there is no ability to open the head at all."

"Besides, His Majesty has been merciful in recent years. Our medical school lacks Mr. General, and there is not enough research on the brain..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was stunned on the spot, thinking that this matter has nothing to do with his benevolence or not, and what else is Mr. General?

"Are we merciful?"

"In addition, what does Mr. Dati mean? Is he also a master of Taoism?"

After Hao Wenjie heard the words, he could only give His Majesty the basic knowledge of surgery. After hearing about it, Lao Zhu realized that it was because he had killed fewer people in recent years, and they lacked knowledge about corpses...

After hearing this, Lao Zhu was silent for a while and said.

"If that is generally available, let you study it for a while, how sure can you be?"

Hao Wenjie pondered for a while, then held out three fingers guiltily.

In fact, Hao Wenjie stretched out these three fingers for the sake of "generality". If he followed his cautious style, he would have stretched out half of them.

Because he can only roughly judge that it may be a problem inside the brain, and it is impossible to determine whether it is a problem in the brain.

If after the craniotomy it was found that the problem was not with the brain, then he would have to search for the root of the disease again.

When Lao Zhu saw Hao Wenjie stretching out three fingers, he immediately felt more at ease.

"If you don't use your brain, how long can our emperor live?"

"Return to Your Majesty, if you treat conservatively, you should still be able to live for half a year. But after half a year, it may get serious at any time, and even the gods will be hard to save..."

"Half a year?"

Lao Zhu closed his eyes and calculated silently, and opened them after a long while.

"Then we will give you half a year to prepare, and we will treat our emperor's son when you are almost ready!"

"Your Majesty, Mr. General is not enough, and I can't prepare even if I want to!"

"Don't worry, Mr. General will be there soon!"

After throwing down these words, Lao Zhu struggled to get off the hospital bed, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was useless.

Before Lao Zhu left, he went to visit Zhu Fan. Seeing that Zhu Fan had woken up and could still smile at him, Lao Zhu was so sad that he shed two more tears.

"Prince, you can treat your illness here with peace of mind, let's go back to the palace first..."

Zhu Yan heard the words and smiled.

"Father, don't listen to their nonsense, they will fool you. My son is not sick, but occasionally dizzy and headache, just sleep well..."

"Yes Yes!"

"Our emperor is not sick!"

After Lao Zhu comforted Zhu Min, he hurried back to the palace.As soon as he returned to the palace, he couldn't even sit still, so Lao Zhu couldn't wait to order someone to call the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment over.

Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was sorting out the cases accumulated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice when he heard His Majesty summoned him and hurried into the palace.

"My minister greets His Majesty..."

"Free gift..."

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

After some etiquette, Lao Zhu went straight into the tunnel.

"Has the list of autumn finals been drafted?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is currently being sorted out, and soon..."

"Send it to us immediately!"

"This……"

Lao Zhu also knew that he was a bit embarrassing, but now his mind was full of saving the emperor, and he couldn't care about anything else.

"Forget it, let's go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice with you, let's pick some important ones first..."

Yang Jing was numb when he heard this, what's wrong with His Majesty the Emperor, can't control the murderous aura in his heart?
When Lao Zhu and Yang Jing came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they picked up the file handed over from a place, and saw that the unfilial son of a certain place drove the old man out of the house, and was reported by the neighbor...

Without even thinking about it, Lao Zhu picked up the pen and drew a line on it.

"Disobedient and unfilial, rebellious and immoral!"

"Should kill!"

After throwing down this file, Lao Zhu picked up another one, seeing that it was a profiteer in a certain place who was hoarding and driving up prices...

Lao Zhu hesitated a little, and drew a line on it, ending the life of this profiteer.

Later, there were several cases of fighting for family property and fighting each other, resulting in the death of brothers, as well as cases of beating houses and looting houses, all of which Lao Zhu gave decisive instructions.

This made Yang Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who was watching on the sidelines, break out in cold sweat. Several of them were not enough to make a decision, and they were exiled for thousands of miles, and were sentenced to death by His Majesty the Emperor!
Has His Majesty the Emperor been stimulated by something? Why is there such a killing intent!

"Your Majesty, Zhang Sheng will not die in the case of expelling his father?"

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, you can be exiled with dozens of sticks. Isn't it too heavy to kill someone?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, Longan immediately stared.

"Is this how you became Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Are you looking at that student as a student, so you deliberately favor him?"

"After reading the sage's book, I can still drive my father out. We didn't cut him to pieces for such a rebellious person. We are already very merciful!"

Seeing that the old emperor was angry, Yang Jing knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty calm down, my minister was confused for a while, and my minister is convicted..."

Seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment pleaded guilty, Lao Zhu immediately snorted and stopped talking to him, and continued to select the most heinous people from the files of the Ministry of Punishment.

After a while, Lao Zhu hand-picked more than a dozen death row prisoners, and then asked the Criminal Department to send them to Jinyiwei according to the list, and handed them over to Jinyiwei for secret disposal.

Yang Jing understood at this time, His Majesty the Emperor has another purpose, right?
Otherwise, how could it be Jin Yiwei's turn to intervene in such a small case in the countryside?

Under Lao Zhu's arrangement, Hao Wenjie soon received more than a dozen general teachers, and they were still alive...

This made Hao Wenjie very difficult, because the emperor's grandson had made rules for them, and they were not allowed to use living bodies, even death row prisoners.

Thinking of this, Hao Wenjie hurried into the palace to see His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, this... this can't be done..."

Old Zhu was struggling to eat dinner when he was so startled that he couldn't even hold his chopsticks steadily when he heard this.

"What doesn't work?"

"But our prince can't do it anymore?"

"No, no, it's General...Mr. General can't..."

"The emperor's grandson once had a strict order prohibiting the use of living people..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was so angry that he thumped the table on the spot.

"Bastard!"

"His third uncle is about to disappear, and this Ni Sun actually..."

Old Zhu had just finished scolding Ni Sun when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"No, isn't Ni Sun not in Beijing? Why are you still worried about this?"

Hao Wenjie was so sweaty when he heard this, he hurriedly explained.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the rule established by the emperor's grandson, I dare not break it!"

Old Zhu scolded Hao Wenjie for being pedantic in his heart when he heard the words, but he still had a warm smile on his face.

"Wen Jie!"

"You don't have to worry about that grandson's rules, Daming is still our emperor now, our rules are the biggest, he doesn't dare to control you!"

Hao Wenjie thought to himself, how old are you, and you can live for a few more years. From now on, your grandson will rule the world!

Seeing that Hao Wenjie was still worried, Lao Zhu immediately said with a straight face.

"Let's write you a secret decree. You are doing things according to our decree. If someone really pursues it in the future, we will make the decision for you!"

When Hao Wenjie heard this, he thought it was the only way to go, and immediately kowtowed unwillingly to thank him.

After Lao Zhu sent Hao Wenjie away, he smiled helplessly for a while.

There are so many problems with this rebellious grandson!

He even talks about benevolence and righteousness to death row prisoners!

After Lao Zhu laughed at Dasun Yitong, he buried himself in cooking again.

In fact, he has no appetite at all, but now that his eldest grandson is going to Shandong for disaster relief, and the emperor is still seriously ill, he, an old man who is a grandfather and father, has to hold on no matter how hard he tries, and he must not fall down.

Once he falls, the capital will definitely change.

At that time, whether his emperor's life can be saved or not, his eldest grandson's position of emperor grandson may change hands!

In the days that followed, Lao Zhu either cared about Zhu Min's condition, asked Hao Wenjie about the progress of his research, or inquired about Dasun's disaster relief situation.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the grandson of the emperor has arrived in Shandong!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the emperor's grandson angrily beheaded 78 corrupt officials..."

This is the news that came ten days after Zhu Yunxi left. Old Zhu happily cooked three bowls of rice when he heard the news!
Xiao Nisun has finally grown up!

It seems that it is beneficial to let the child go out for a walk, so that he will not think too well of the world.

As soon as Lao Zhu had finished his meal, he saw Zhu Sui leading several officials, as well as people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, begging to see him.

"Xuan!"

"promise!"

Zhu Wei led the crowd into the hall, and then said impassionedly after saluting to Lao Zhu.

"Father!"

"I heard that the emperor's grandson killed 78 officials as soon as he arrived in Shandong, which shocked the whole world!"

"Now the people in the capital are even more arguing, saying that the emperor's grandson's move is too harsh, and it violates the name of benevolence and righteousness!"

After Zhu Wei spoke, the people in Dali Temple also made generous statements.

"Your Majesty, the emperor's grandson abused lynching without passing the trial of the three divisions. This trend cannot last long, and this action cannot be advocated. Please also severely reprimand and give an explanation to the people of the world!"

Seeing that the two had finished speaking, the others hurriedly echoed loudly.

"Your Majesty, please reprimand heavily and give an explanation to the subjects of the world!"

Old Zhu was dumbfounded when he heard everyone's words, and thought that our eldest grandson only killed dozens of people, you can't stand it, we have killed more than tens of thousands these years, you must hate us to death!

"Zhu Huan, when did you get involved with them?"

"My son..."

"I originally wanted to pay my respects to my father, but I happened to meet a few adults, and that's why..."

Lao Zhu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and spoke directly.

"Let's go, get out!"

"My son..."

Zhu Lu wanted to support him at first, but when he saw the old man's gloomy face, he kowtowed in fright and slipped away.

After Zhu Huan was driven away, Lao Zhu looked at several officials kneeling on the ground with a sneer.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

When everyone saw this posture, who would dare to speak, they could only kowtow and retreat.

However, within a few steps, everyone heard the old emperor shouting angrily.

"Come on!"

"Bring these people to our Dasun's army, and hand them over to our Dasun!"

The Jin Yiwei outside the door made a loud promise, and dragged a few people out of the palace involuntarily.

"Your Majesty, forgive me..."

"Your Majesty, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just don't want to damage the name of the emperor's benevolence..."

Lao Zhu sneered as he watched the figures being dragged away.

Our eldest grandson is benevolent, it is not you who have the final say, it is our grandpa who has the final say!

"Come on!"

"Send someone to tell our eldest grandson, if there is any murder, send it to the capital, and let our grandpa kill him for him!"

"In addition, we have other uses for sending the heads of those 78 people into the capital!"

"promise!"

After Lao Zhu finished arranging these things, he ordered people to prepare Jianyu and go to Beizhen Fusi.

Since Beizhen Fusi and Huimin Medical Center jointly established a school, there has been a mysterious department in Beizhen Fusi - the morgue.

Before this, Beizhen Fusi did not leave corpses. Whenever a prisoner could not bear the punishment and died, they would be dragged directly to the mass grave to feed the wild dogs.

When Lao Zhu came, Hao Wenjie, Zhang Sloppy and others had just disposed of a corpse and were washing their hands and preparing to eat.

Suddenly hearing His Majesty the Emperor approaching, Zhang Sloppy suddenly became nervous.

"Daozhang Zhang, it's all up to you for a while!"

Zhang Sloppy said helplessly upon hearing the words.

"Wenjie, you can't always be like this, the old man is just helping out, and you have to rely on you to do the knife..."

"I...I'm afraid..."

"Ugh!"

Seeing that Hao Wenjie was so afraid of Lao Zhu, Zhang Sloppy could only bite the bullet and agree to answer Lao Zhu for him.

Not long after, the two came to Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu warmly greeted them to sit down, and then asked about the progress of the research.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the current research is almost done, but Hao Yuan has a heart problem, and he can't perform the operation without the presence of the emperor's grandson..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he looked at Hao Wenjie who was on the side.

"What's wrong with this, without our eldest grandson, you can't survive?"

Hao Wenjie kowtowed to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"Healing His Royal Highness King Jin is truly an unprecedented spectacle!"

"I have little talent and little learning, and my medical skills are all taught by the emperor's grandson. If there is no mentor like the emperor's grandson to guide me, I will never dare to use a knife on the head of His Royal Highness Jin!"

The reason why Hao Wenjie has this condition is actually two reasons.On the one hand, he really has no confidence in his heart, and hopes that Zhu Yunxi can accompany him by the side, so that he can have more confidence.On the other hand, he was afraid of the failure of the operation, and was chopped off by the old emperor in a rage.

After all, he wanted to stab the prince, and he was still the old emperor's favorite prince.

Once he smashed Zhu Yan's head to pieces, the old emperor would definitely cut him to pieces!

Lao Zhu also guessed some of Hao Wenjie's careful thoughts, but he didn't dare to use his status as emperor to suppress others, so he just looked at Qin Deshun with a headache.

"Where is our eldest grandson now, can we get in touch?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to Master Gao Ming, the grandson of the emperor left the main force after entering the Yanzhou mansion, and led Erhu and others to pay a private visit in disguise."

"This time, Mr. Gao invited the king's order to kill the corrupt officials, and supervised the execution for His Royal Highness..."

Old Zhu was so angry that he scolded his mother.

"Let's remind him ten thousand times, let him not run around, he just doesn't obey..."

"Hurry up and send someone to find us, and make sure to find Ni Sun for us before the end of the month!"

"promise!"

In Lao Zhu's mind, he would be able to find grandson back within half a month.However, he sent the emperor's order for a month, but he didn't find the eldest grandson, but a few new news came back.

"Your Majesty, the people in the capital are talking a lot, saying that the emperor's grandson announced a draft in Shandong, and that he will select [-] beautiful women to enter the palace..."

"Draft?"

"Your Majesty, there are rumors among the people in the capital that the emperor's grandson is rebellious and recruiting troops in Shandong..."

"Recruiting troops?"

"His Majesty……"
