My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 337 Empress Xu is seriously ill

Zhu Di thought about Xu Jingchang's solution, and suddenly smiled and said, "You are raising this matter now, maybe it will be used in North Korea?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the clan stays in the country, no matter how good the method is, it will be difficult to avoid corruption, and it will inevitably be unreasonable. It would also be a good thing if we can entrust overseas, give them a little land, and continue to grow. What's more, the Tian family has a lot of talents, but it's just caged in the Ming Dynasty, so I feel wronged."

The last sentence, speaking of Zhu Di’s heart, not to mention those brothers, the eldest son Zhu Gaochi is kind and the second son Zhu Gaoxu is brave. It is a bit difficult to choose between the two, but one is in charge and the other is in charge. , the world is at peace.

"Okay, I have you in charge of the General Administration Department, so I can finally live in peace and rest easy." Zhu Di was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "I want to entertain the clan if I have time, so you should come over and inform the big guys about this."

Xu Jingchang nodded repeatedly, but there was no news from the palace for five days in a row.

When Xu Jingchang was shocked, Zhu Gaochi came in a hurry, his face was ugly, and he hurriedly walked up to Xu Jingchang, and said directly: "The mother fell into a coma the day before yesterday, and was rescued by several imperial doctors. The father has been on guard for two days. Although I woke up, my body is not as good as before."

Xu Jingchang knew very well that Zhu Gaochi would not be like this if his condition was not serious.

"What do you mean, I'm going to the palace to see my aunt now?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "That's right, the queen mother has something to explain."

Xu Jingchang left in a hurry, and followed Zhu Gaochi into the palace. This time, the palace was guarded at three steps, one post and five steps, one sentry.

What's wrong with Empress Xu?

It's hard to say, it seems that the Xu family didn't live very long, and Xu Da only lived in his early fifties.

Empress Xu gave birth consecutively in her early years and was physically weak. During the Jingnan period, Empress Xu devoted herself to guarding Beiping with her own hands.

Not only was she exhausted, but she also contracted a cold. Since then, her health has been deteriorating.

Empress Xu in history died of illness early in Yongle five years ago.

Xu Jingchang also didn't have the ability to change fate against the sky. He just suggested that Empress Xu do more exercise to restore her body, or at least lose weight.

This method is true and effective. Empress Xu is indeed much healthier than in history, and she even went to Peiping, which is considered to have fulfilled her wish.

But some things still seem irresistible...

He arrived at the queen's bedroom with a feeling of apprehension. The strong smell of medicine irritated his nostrils. Xu Jingchang took a look and saluted quickly.

"Nephew, come here, how is Auntie?"

Empress Xu was inconvenient on one side of her body, so she could only lean on the bed.

Seeing Xu Jingchang, she still showed a gratified smile.

"Get up, sit, sit on the edge of the bed."

Her voice was muffled and needed to be listened carefully to be clear.

Xu Jingchang hurried over, sat down, looked up at Empress Xu's haggard face, feeling sad again.

"Auntie, you are sick, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Empress Xu smiled and shook her head, "What's the use of saying it? In fact, it happened when I was in Beiping. Fortunately, it wasn't serious at the time... I am a woman, my mother respects the world, and I am nearly half a hundred years old. I have three sons. When you grow up, no matter what, you will die without regret.”

What Empress Xu said was naturally good, but Xu Jingchang was always sorry.

"Auntie, I think your problem is not fatal, as long as you have a good rest and recover, there is still a day of recovery."

Empress Xu shook her head, "It's just lingering... I have already made arrangements for the affairs of the Tian family... I want to ask you a few questions about the remaining matters of the Xu family."

Xu Jingchang nodded hastily, "My aunt just asks, my nephew must tell the truth."

Empress Xu took a breath and regained a bit of strength, before asking: "I heard that you have offended many people, and there are many complaints from the government and the opposition. Are you still safe when you are sitting in the position of envoy?"

Xu Jingchang smiled lightly, "No one is safe. My nephew is now a first-rank official. According to the rules, after three years of evaluation and nine years, he will naturally retire. If anyone wants to plot against me, it will not be so easy. "

Empress Xu nodded again and again, "I know your methods. It's just that the Xu family is a wealthy family, a family of two males, and a decent family. It won't be possible to settle down with those rascals, don't you think?"

After Xu Jingchang thought about it for a while, he understood Empress Xu's meaning, "Auntie wants to keep the child healthy and healthy, so don't be too aggressive."

Empress Xu said: "That's right, it's not my wisdom... Your grandfather is like this. Our Xu family is the head of nobles, and the generals that the world looks up to, we still have to cherish feathers. Also, you, Duke Ding Bloodline, and your uncle Wei Guogong's bloodline, need to love each other, don't make people laugh."

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Naturally, my nephew knows it well."

Empress Xu took another breath, this time longer than before, and she sighed: "It's been many years, I still often think of the soldiers who were stationed with me in Beiping City when Jing Nan was at the beginning, many of them died in battle, Only the family members are left to take care of.”

Xu Jingchang said: "It's not difficult, there will definitely be corresponding compensation regulations, no matter what, we can't treat heroes badly."

Empress Xu nodded in satisfaction, seeing that she looked tired, and more saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth, obviously she couldn't hold on anymore.Xu Jingchang took the initiative to resign and walked out from the inside.

Zhu Gaochi was still waiting outside.

"Auntie, this is a stroke. Although it is not fatal, you need to be careful not to have another recurrence."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "It's true...in fact, it's all my fault. If I had been able to keep Beiping well and not let my mother worry about getting hurt, she would not have suffered from the root cause of the disease."

Xu Jingchang waved his hand, "Your Highness, don't blame yourself, Auntie didn't tell me about you guys, but Auntie knows it well, don't worry about you."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, but said in a low voice: "Cousin, I don't have anything to worry about here. It's just the Secretary of General Administration, whether there will be any troubles, you have to be careful."

Even Zhu Gaochi began to worry about Xu Jingchang. Regardless of Xu Jingchang's many identities, the most valuable one among them is probably the nephew of Empress Xu. With this person in charge, even Zhu Di would be courteous.

Now that Empress Xu is seriously ill and unable to act as a director, those suppressed forces may jump out and challenge Xu Jingchang's position.

Things have come to this, how to deal with it?

To be honest, Zhu Gaochi is not clear about the matter.

Xu Jingchang went to see Zhu Di again. He found that Zhu Di looked tired, his eyes were red, and he was even more haggard than Empress Xu. Looking at his temples, he found a lot of gray hair.

When he saw Xu Jingchang, he just sighed, "Young couples are old companions. I am nearly half a hundred years old. I have known the Queen since childhood. After going through ups and downs, I have supported him to this day. My relationship is so deep that no one can replace it. If there is such a day, I will not make another queen, she is the only one worthy to be my queen Zhu Di in the whole world."

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Your Majesty's husband and wife are deeply affectionate, just like the emperor Taizu back then. I believe that the Empress will recover from danger."

Zhu Di sighed and didn't say more, Xu Jingchang took the initiative to leave and returned to the mansion.

Empress Xu suddenly became seriously ill, but she didn't feel it.

But the news could not be suppressed after all, and gradually, it spread outside the palace, and the courtiers also began to know the news.

The six ministries and nine ministers, these important officials of the court did not make any movement, on the contrary, they were more diligent and careful, and did not dare to say a single unnecessary word.

As expected of being an important minister of the imperial court, you can't be stupid.

Xu Jingchang is also step-by-step, handling official affairs as usual.

But on this day, the Secretary of General Administration received a memorial from Guozijian, which was handed over by a Siye surnamed Wang.

This eloquent man wrote thousands of words, and he only said one thing, officials are appointed for their abilities, and nobles are rewarded for their merits... Looking at the founding dukes, whether it is Cao Guogong or Wei Guogong, they are all descendants of the famous founding generals.

The kindness left behind is what everyone expects.

Qi Guogong and Cheng Guogong have made great contributions to Jingnan, helped the country and restored the system of Taizu.

However, among the courtiers, some people have no military merits, but have the title of duke of the hereditary country, which seems to be inappropriate.

Therefore, I dare to remonstrate, and hope that your Majesty will issue a decree and announce it to the world.

There is no such thing as founding a country and building a business, and the merits of Fengtian Jingnan. Although it can be awarded to the Duke of the State, it cannot be hereditary.In order to avoid the flood of famous titles and ruin the court's laws.

At the end, this man also directly said that he was dedicated to serving the country and had no selfish thoughts. On the day he wrote the letter, he had already prepared the coffin.

"Tongzheng, this person is so cowardly and has ulterior motives, I think he should be punished severely." Hu Wei said anxiously.

Xu Jingchang was very calm instead, "Is what he said wrong?"

Hu Wei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Of course there is a mistake, he attacked Tongzheng with ulterior motives!"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "It's not like I can't attack? Even if His Majesty is wrong, you can still persuade him! Don't make a big deal out of it."

Hu Wei was very surprised. Is this a fuss over a molehill?

"Mr. Ding, I'm afraid this is just the beginning, and there are still people who will stir up trouble later."

Xu Jingchang shook his head with a smile, "I think you made a fuss over a molehill... This impeachment memorandum can be considered to have something to say, publish six parts, let the big guys discuss it!"

Hu Yan became more and more puzzled, he couldn't figure it out, did Xu Jingchang accept his fate?
Otherwise, how could you allow others to criticize wantonly?
"Mr. Ding, once this hole is opened, the following things will be unimaginable."

Xu Jingchang waved his hand, "Don't worry too much, just do everything as I say."

Hu Wei wanted to say something more, but it didn't help, so he could only do as he said.

A memorial is known all over the world.

Everyone in the court couldn't help but exclaim, Xu Jingchang couldn't hold it back?
This kid is at the end of his game!

He's done, really done.

Lost the queen aunt, what else does he have?
There are so many people who hate him in the court, I'm afraid it's time for liquidation.A few days later, someone impeached Xu Jingchang, saying that he deceived the saints, stole power, and regarded himself as a prime minister, but he had no personality.

For a while, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Hu Guang and others all speculated whether Xu Jingchang was really about to fall?
