Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 10
The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear.

Imperial Palace Main Hall School Building.

Zhu Gaoxu sat at the table by the window, enduring the pain and drank the last sip of the soup in the bowl.

He now thinks of the boat capsizing accident 20 days ago and still feels frightened.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang had thought carefully before and sent out guards to protect Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Gaoxu and others. In addition to the guards accompanying them on the surface, there were also Jin Yiwei who took turns guarding in the dark all the way.

These royal guards were all personally selected by Zhu Yuanzhang, and they were all strong and strong men with good water qualities.

At that time, they saw that the passenger ship was about to capsize, and the three emperors' grandsons, the prince-in-law, and others jumped off the ship one after another. They dared not hide, so they hurriedly appeared, carrying special cowhide airbags or large gourds that had been prepared for emergencies, as follows: The dumplings filled with water jumped into the rolling Yangtze River one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu himself can swim. Although the rain and wind and waves are very strong, the current of the river is not too fast and it is not far from the shore. In addition, there are guards with good water skills who have been taking care of him, so that he will not sink while holding a big gourd. , and was finally successfully rescued ashore by Jin Yiwei.

Although Ouyang Lun was of average water quality, he was not as panicked as Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi who had never encountered danger before. At least he was holding a gourd and with the help of several guards, he was able to hold on until the Jin Yiwei came to rescue him.

After all, the number and energy of the Jin Yiwei were limited, and there were strong waves on the river. Many of the servants drowned. Only the Wang family and his daughter, who were specially cared for by Zhu Yunwen, and a few old folk doctors were rescued.

The unlucky ones were Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi who could not swim. Although they were protected by guards who were proficient in water skills and did not drown on the spot, they had a lot of water in their lungs and were frightened. After returning to Beijing, they All suffered from a serious illness.

Poor Zhu Yunxi couldn't hold on and died.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the guards who failed to rescue Zhu Yunxi in time, and they were buried with Zhu Yunxi.

As for Zhu Yunwen, although he escaped from the gate of hell and did not lose his life, the root of his illness began to fall. On rainy days, he coughed and even vomited blood. He became increasingly thin, pale and frail.

Although Cao Hu, a member of the Qianhu Jinyi Guards, personally protected Zhu Yunwen and even risked his life to rescue him, which bought time for Zhu Yunwen's rescue, he was jointly and severally responsible for Zhu Yunxi's death and was dismissed from his post and imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ouyang Lun was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Ouyang Lun, as an elder, should try his best to advise Zhu Yunwen, and he should never risk the storm to sail.

Zhu Gaoxu suggested jumping off the ship to escape, which was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Prince Zhu Benjian was not in good health originally. He was already very worried when he learned that Zhu Yunxi and others fell into the water. Later, Zhu Yunxi fell ill and died, which made his condition even more serious.

Although Zhu Gaoxu was not frightened by falling into the water, he was infected with wind and cold and fell ill. He did not recover until a few days ago.

In order to prevent the root cause of the disease from leaving behind, he drank the decoction for a few more days to consolidate the curative effect.

"Zhu Yunwen's life is really tough, but this result is not bad at the moment!"

Looking at the chirping sparrows on the branches outside the window, Zhu Gaoxu thought so in his heart.

"Second Young Master, it's time to pay homage to Your Majesty."

At this moment, a respectful voice sounded outside the door.

The speaker's name was Kang Ping. He was the attendant brought by Zhu Gaoxu from the Prince of Yan's Palace. He was a chamberlain of the Prince of Yan's Palace and was later known as an eunuch in the secular world.

Zhu Gaoxu was the second son of King Yan Zhu Di, so Kang Ping called him "Second Young Master" instead of "Little Prince" because the Ming Dynasty did not use the style of titles used in later movies and TV dramas.

"I'll go after I change my clothes." Zhu Gaoxu responded.

Two quarters later.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaoxu kneeling on the ground, feeling angry and happy at the same time, with very complicated emotions.

He was happy because the Royal Trading Company planned by Zhu Gaoxu had made him a lot of money, which further proved Zhu Gaoxu's peerless talent.

He was angry because although the old doctors Zhu Yunwen brought back from the private sector brought Zhu Biao back from hell, Zhu Yunwen became ill because the boat capsized and he drowned, and he was about to die.

Zhu Yuanzhang suspected Zhu Yunwen's secret behavior of testing the medicine on his own body. As a follower, Zhu Gaoxu should have known about it, but Zhu Gaoxu firmly denied it.

After Zhu Yunwen returned to the capital, before he fell ill, he made a request to Zhu Yuanzhang to take a concubine.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated, he did not refuse after all. After all, Zhu Yunwen was already 16 years old. It stands to reason that he was born in the royal family, and it was inappropriate to take a concubine before marrying a wife. However, the current situation was special and he could not care so much.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen married the Queen's wife of a doctor named Wang as his concubine.

Even if the doctors were recruited by Zhu Yunwen under Zhu Yuanzhang's secret order, if they did not have real skills and failed to pass the test of Zhu Yunwen's own medicine, Zhu Yuanzhang would kill all of them without hesitation.

In order to help Zhu Yunwen step down, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to tell all the doctors that Prince Zhu Biao must be cured this time, otherwise all the doctors will be dead!
But Zhu Biao had been ill for a long time, and had suffered from back gangrene two years ago. Although he recovered, he had many political affairs and worked hard day and night. In addition, he visited Shaanxi some time ago and traveled long distances. He suffered from wind and cold under the exhaustion of physical strength, which seriously injured his foundation. .

In other words, Zhu Biao, who is seriously ill, cannot be saved by any non-tiger or wolf medicine!
How can the doctors care so much in order to survive?After just a few days, Zhu Biao was able to get out of bed, and a few days later, his diet and daily life returned to normal.

No one knows whether it was Zhu Yunwen's concubinage that had a certain effect, or whether the doctors' powerful medicine played a key role.

In short, Prince Zhu Biao's rapid improvement made Zhu Yuanzhang in a good mood.

But after Zhu Yunwen married the Wang family, he fell ill not long after.

Since he was rescued from the river, he was tired from driving and riding on the way back to Jinling from Lujiang, coupled with the damage to his body caused by the test medicine, and the infection caused by the river water being poured into his lungs, he couldn't afford to fall ill, and his condition became more and more serious day by day. .

According to the imperial doctor, if Zhu Yunwen had not been in the prime of life, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that Zhu Yunwen tested the medicine on his own body, and was frightened by diving, which completely destroyed his body. He could not blame others, but he could only blame him for wanting to cure Zhu Biao's chronic illness.

What's more, Zhu Yunwen and others were traveling under the emperor's orders this time. There were strong winds and waves on the river, so there was no guarantee that an accident would not happen.

The death of Zhu Yunxi was a huge blow to Zhu Yuanzhang, which made him depressed for a long time.

It was he who named Zhu Yunxi to accompany Zhu Yunwen to Changsha. No one expected that an accident would happen and Zhu Yunxi died of illness.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang felt sorry for this and blamed himself very much, life and death were determined by fate. After all, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen survived. Perhaps this is called fate playing tricks on people.

In order to make up for his guilt towards Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yuanzhang decreed that he be posthumously named King Yi, with the posthumous title of "Huai", and he was buried in Zhongshan.

"Gao Xu, get up. We are very pleased that you can remind everyone to jump off the ship and escape at the critical moment. Yun Sun's illness is not your fault."

Zhu Yuanzhang personally helped Zhu Gaoxu up and said in a gentle tone: "Yunwen acted without telling us. Although he said he was cheating, he saved Biao'er's life after all. The merits and demerits are equal to each other."

After a pause, he suddenly said in a cold voice: "From now on, without our order, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Just stay in the school and study peacefully. Even if the prince summons you, you cannot go! Do you hear me clearly?"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was expressionless and very serious, how could Zhu Gaoxu dare to say no?

He naturally said so respectfully and retreated wisely.

In the following days, Zhu Gaoxu got up early every day to practice boxing, and then went to the school to study. After lunch, he continued to study with the teacher in the school. In the evening, he practiced swordsmanship and polished his kung fu. After dinner, he would sometimes stay up late to read, and sometimes he would do some novelty work. things, such as researching and inventing gadgets such as soap and perfume.

For Zhu Gaoxu, before new opportunities arise, it is better to be still than to move.

In this way, his regular life continued until the Longevity Festival in September.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu is not a guy who is content with the status quo.

Since being banned for more than four months, his companion Kang Ping has collected a lot of key information for Zhu Gaoxu, especially about Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen's father and son.

Of course, this information is not a secret. It can be said that most people working in the palace know it.

It's just that because Zhu Gaoxu was banned in disguise by Zhu Yuanzhang, he learned that Kang Ping had to act as his eyes and ears on these matters.

Since Zhu Biao came back from the hell gate last time, although his cough has been relieved a lot and his diet and daily life are no different from ordinary people, his whole body has become increasingly swollen and his movements have become more and more inconvenient. He often needs the help of two people to move around.

During this period, the two kings of Qin and Jin came to visit twice and sent people to deliver many tonics. The King of Yan came to visit once and also brought some medicinal materials.

Zhu Yunwen, who was seriously ill before, was later saved by the decoction, but he became a lung cough ghost. He coughed all day long and became thinner day by day.

Perhaps due to long-term medication, Zhu Yunwen's temper became worse day by day. From time to time, he would kill slaves who dissatisfied him with a stick, which made all the slaves in Chunhe Hall panic.

It has been more than four months since Wang was adopted as Zhu Yunwen's concubine, but she has not been pregnant.

After all, Zhu Yunwen was young and powerful. According to common sense, the two had already consummated their marriage. For more than four months, there would be no movement in Wang's stomach.

However, there are also cases where children were conceived two or three years after marriage. Wang became Zhu Yunwen's concubine only for more than four months. Although the palace officials had doubts, no one dared to discuss it privately.

Although Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised by Zhu Yunwen's changes and was worried on the surface, he was secretly happy in his heart.

As for the Royal Trading Company, under the leadership of Ouyang Lun, the tea and horse trade was booming.

Not only did he make money every day, but he also won praises from the royal family and many people in the tea horse industry chain such as tea growing, tea frying, pottery making, and porcelain selling. Even Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to commend him.

"After trying dozens of times, I finally succeeded."

In the school building, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the square piece of soybean oil soap on the table and thought: "Kang Ping, I plan to give this to His Majesty the Emperor as a birthday gift. What do you think?"
