Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 402 I will only ask once, what disease does the prince have?

East Palace.

The front hall of the prince's bedroom.

Zhu Gaoxu had a gloomy face, crossed his hands, pressed the hilt of his sword, and stood in front of the hall with a murderous look.

More than a dozen wolf-like Forbidden Army guards holding bayonets and firecrackers stood in a team and blocked the hall door like a statue of a door god.

Dai Te, the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, Sun Danhui, the court judge, Lin Ji, the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau, and Xie Zhi, the imperial physician, as well as Tang Zhi and Liu Changling, the imperial doctors in charge of decoction, stood in two rows, as if they had done something wrong and were criticized by the teacher. The primary school boy bowed his head like that, waiting for the thunderous wrath of Emperor Qianxi.

"I will only ask once, what disease does the prince have?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked around at the people in front of him and said coldly.

Except for the envoy Date, everyone else was frightened and panicked.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his sword by the handle, pointed at the imperial minister Xie Zhi, and asked with great dignity: "Tell me, what disease does the prince have?"

Xie Zhi was so frightened that he trembled all over and replied tremblingly: "Reporting to your Majesty, His Highness the Prince just suffered from cold and throat disease."

Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu raised his sword and wiped Xie Zhi's neck without mercy.

Before anyone could react, he grabbed Tang Zhi, the imperial doctor in charge of decoction, and asked again: "Tell me, what disease does the prince have?"

"Excessive liver yang and shortness of breath attack the heart."

Tang Zhi was so frightened that his face turned pale and he trembled.

Zhu Zhanyu perfectly inherited the genes of Lao Zhu's violent temper. He was fine when he was young, but after the age of 30, he suffered from stomachache and dizziness. Fortunately, they were all mild and not serious.

Zhu Gaoxu knew that Zhu Zhanyu's symptoms of dizziness and stomach pain when he was angry were probably caused by hyperactivity of liver yang in traditional Chinese medicine, which is known as high blood pressure in later generations.

The syndrome of excessive liver yang is the name of a disease in traditional Chinese medicine. It refers to the syndrome of upper excess and lower deficiency manifested by liver and kidney yin deficiency and excessive liver yang interfering with the upper part. It is also called ascending liver yang inversion and excessive liver yang.

Stomach pain, also known as "epigastric pain" and "heart pain" in traditional Chinese medicine, refers to a condition characterized by frequent pain in the epigastrium near the heart. It is often caused by long-term improper diet or mental stimulation.

Both of these diseases are related to people's emotions. As mentioned earlier, Zhu Zhanyu has a hot temper and hates evil as much as he hates it. This is his nature.

If he hadn't grown up in the city and had a pretty good Qi-nurturing skill, he would have been annoyed to death by all the annoying things in government affairs.

Zhu Gaoxu was worried that Zhu Zhanyu would encounter some unexpected situation that would cause his stomach pain and dizziness to suddenly worsen.

After all, a normal person will also experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, severe coughing, vomiting blood, difficulty breathing, and even sudden death when he is out of breath.

Zhu Zhanyu already suffered from stomach pain and dizziness. Although it was not serious at ordinary times, when he was so out of breath and attacking his heart, it was hard to say that an accident would not happen.

Zhu Gaoxu said coldly: "Be more careful."

Tang Zhi fell to his knees, glanced at Xie Zhi, whose neck was bleeding and still twitching, and stammered in a vibrato: "Now, His Highness the Crown Prince's pulse pressure is extremely high... His heartbeat is like galloping horse hooves. If there is a slight accident, Then..."

"What will happen?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked expressionlessly.

"It will..."

Tang Zhi gasped and said: "The blood will penetrate the top of the skull... Even if he does not die, he will definitely have a stroke, which will lead to... causing... to be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life..."

After he said the last word, he seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body, and the next moment he lay on the ground like a shrimp with soft feet.

Zhu Gaoxu's face was cold, and he glanced at everyone in the Imperial Hospital with the eyes of an angry dragon devouring food, and said with murderous intent: "If the queen asks, just say that the prince's illness is just an occasional cold! If anyone leaks the news, I will kill him The whole family!”

Everyone was as silent as a cicada, and there was no sound.

"Yuan Bin?"

Zhu Gaoxu shouted coldly.

"The end is here."

Yuan Bin, a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu, walked out of the team and bowed in military salute.

"You personally lead a group of people to send Dai Yuan to the Imperial Pharmacy for duty. No one is allowed to leave without my order. As for their three meals a day, they are all provided by the Imperial Kitchen. Don't neglect them."

Zhu Gaoxu ordered expressionlessly.

He did not let everyone in the Imperial Hospital leave, firstly to prevent the news from leaking, and secondly, so that he could summon them at any time to diagnose the prince Zhu Zhanyu.

As for killing Xie Zhi, it was purely because Xie Zhi hit the muzzle of his gun. It's not that he was bloodthirsty, but in this situation, if he didn't kill someone, there was no way to scare others.

The prince is the crown prince of the country. If the news that he is seriously ill and about to die spreads, it will inevitably have an immeasurable impact.

After all, Zhu Zhanyu is not dead yet.

"The command of the last general."

Yuan Bing said respectfully.at the same time.

In the prince's bedroom.

Yu Qian knelt in front of the prince's bed and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness the prince!"

Zhu Zhanyu opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and stared at Yu Qian. After coughing for a while, he raised his left hand and said weakly: "Ting Yi... you are here..."

Yu Qian gently held Zhu Zhanyu's left hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness will definitely recover as long as he takes good care of himself."

Zhu Zhanyu's eyes flashed with endless regret and said: "Tingyi... they deceived Gu... so miserably... They hurt Gu... If Gu unfortunately passed away... you must... take care of Gu." ...Kill them..."

Although Yu Qian really wanted to know who this "they" refers to, he still suppressed his curiosity and seriously advised: "Your Highness, please calm down. You will be blessed with good fortune and good fortune."

Zhu Zhanyu nodded as much as he could, but then asked: "Father has promised Gu... If Gu unfortunately dies... he will make the three Qi Zheng brothers county kings... and grant them permission to go to sea and establish a country... in the future Qi Zheng Jianguo...I will ask you to assist him..."

Up to now, Zhu Zhanyu has three sons, one legitimate and two concubine.

The legitimate son Zhu Qizheng is only nine years old this year and is the biological son of the Crown Princess Yuan Ningning. As for the two concubines, the elder is already 13 years old and the younger has just turned eight this year.

There are things that Zhu Zhanyu cannot say to his father, Emperor Zhu Gaoxu, and mother, Queen Li Yao. Yu Qian is similar in age to him. The two have known each other since they were young, and their relationship is extraordinary.

The implication of what he said at this time was obvious, that is, he asked Yu Qian to keep Zhu Qizheng safe for the rest of his life after his unfortunate death.

After all, if Zhu Zhanyu dies, Zhu Qizheng will most likely not be canonized as the emperor's grandson by Zhu Gaoxu.

Because according to the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" revised for the last time during Zhu Yuanzhang's lifetime, the succession to the throne must follow two basic criteria, and the successor must be selected according to seven major sequences.

One criterion is "If there is a direct descendant, there will be no direct descendant; if there is no direct descendant, there will be an elder brother." The other criterion is "If a country has an elder king, it is the blessing of the country."

The first among the seven series is the legitimate son and grandson.

"That is, when a great emperor dies and there is no heir in the court, the oldest of his legitimate sons and grandsons who has been crowned and has been crowned will be the crown prince or grandson of the crown prince; those who are young and have not crowned themselves will not be crowned crown princes; even if they are born to a concubine's mother, they will not be crowned princes or crown princes; It cannot be established.”

In addition, the age of the heir at the time of succession must not be less than twelve years old and not more than sixty years old, and he must be in good health at the time of succession.

In the rules of succession to the throne, "crowned" refers to those who have reached the age of 12, held the crowning ceremony in advance, and assumed the responsibility of a royal child. This is based on the fact that King Wen of Zhou was crowned at the age of [-].

Those who are qualified to inherit the throne but voluntarily give up their right to inherit, or are demoted to common people due to breaking the law, or those who are born with diseases, do not have the right to inherit the throne.

Although the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" stipulates the rules for the succession of the throne, not the rules for the appointment of a prince, but Zhu Gaoxu is now over 60 years old. If the prince Zhu Zhanyu unfortunately dies, the new prince will definitely inherit the throne soon.

After the death of King Xian of the Han Dynasty Zhu Zhanji, he had a legitimate son, but he was young. In order to ensure the long-term stability of the Han Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu followed the instructions of his ancestors and appointed Zhu Zhanji's younger brother Zhu Zhanzhen as the new king of Han.

Similarly, for the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu will most likely choose one of Zhu Zhanyu's three younger brothers as the new crown prince after the death of Prince Zhu Zhanyu.

Therefore, Yu Qian was particularly able to understand Zhu Zhanyu's concerns and instructions at this time. He respectfully knelt down and accepted the order: "I agree, please rest assured, Your Highness!"

"Tingyi...it's them...it's them who deceived Gu...Gu is angry with them...don't let them go...this matter...must not...tell father...can't...tell father …”

Zhu Zhanyu stretched out his right hand with difficulty, handed a secret letter to Yu Qian, and said at the same time: "Open it and take a look...open it..."

Yu Qian hurriedly took out the letter paper from the envelope, quickly folded it, and read it ten lines at a time.

The more he looked at it, the more wrong his face became. First it changed from pale due to nervousness to flushing red, then from flushing to livid, and finally his face was so green that it almost turned black.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't keep this matter a secret."

Yu Qian frowned.

Zhu Zhanyu shook his head weakly and said: "If you can't hide it... you have to hide it... you can hide it for as long as you can... you can hide it for as long as you can..."

Seeing that Yu Qian was silent, he paused and said slowly: "If Gu can survive until next month...it will prove that...Gu has overcome this difficulty...when the time comes...you can send this letter ...Send it to your father...otherwise...the letter will be burned...just step back..."

"I retire!"

Yu Qian knelt down again and gave a big salute, and said with great respect.

He vaguely felt that Zhu Zhanyu might not make it to next month.

Because the content in the letter was so shocking, even Yu Qian was so angry that his blood surged up. This anger gave him a headache, a toothache, and even his eyes hurt.

Yu Qian believed that if Emperor Qianxi read this letter, he would be so angry that he would become ill.

Zhu Zhanyu asked Yu Qian to keep it secret for as long as he could. This must be his consideration, otherwise he would just burn the letter now.

Because as long as Zhu Zhanyu doesn't die, he can still persuade Zhu Gaoxu. When Yu Qian submits the letter, there will basically be no major problems.

Otherwise, once Zhu Zhanyu dies, Zhu Gaojiu will definitely suffer a huge blow. In that case, if Zhu Gaoxu sees this letter again, he will most likely be so angry that he gets violently ill and dies.

PS: Spoiler, this is a last-minute letter written in blood to report a governor of a certain place. This governor was once a confidant of Prince Zhu Zhanyu. He was also deeply appreciated by Zhu Gaoxu and had many political achievements.
