Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 410 "Niu Yu's Diary: Death of the Prince"

In the year 4443 of the Yanhuang calendar, the 20th year of Qianxi, the 21st day of the first lunar month was yin.

Before dawn today, Emperor Qianxi ordered all the people in the imperial dining room to be arrested.

Until after dark today, those people were not released. Even the maids who were working as handymen around the imperial kitchen were also imprisoned.

I suspect that Zhu Qizheng's choking was related to eating some kind of food.

In the year 4443 of the Yanhuang calendar, the 20th year of Qianxi, there was light rain on the 22nd of the first lunar month.

I was woken up early in the morning. The guards were searching the residence of the chambermaids, seemingly looking for something.

However, they found nothing on our side and later withdrew.

Then Kang Ping, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies, sent a message, telling us that if anyone knows the clues that His Royal Highness accidentally ate peanuts and suffocated, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and his rank will be upgraded to three levels.

After I heard this decree, my whole body felt as if I had been struck by lightning, and my whole body was numb.

Everyone who works in the palace knows that His Highness Zhu Qizheng is allergic to peanuts. When he was six years old, he almost died from a peanut. Fortunately, the Crown Princess learned allergy first aid and saved His Highness from hell.

The term "allergy" came from the Jinling Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic as early as 30 years ago. Although my surname is Niu, I have been allergic to milk since I was a child. As long as I take a sip, I will get itchy and painful pimples on my body.

It is now certain that His Highness Zhu Qizheng suffocated due to an allergic reaction to peanuts.

But who is behind it is still uncertain.

I guess His Highness must have been secretly dissected. Otherwise, how would His Majesty Emperor Qianxi know that His Highness was allergic to peanuts and suffocated?
In the year 4443 of the Yanhuang calendar, the 20th year of Qianxi, it was sunny on the 25th of the first lunar month.

Since Emperor Qianxi made the decree three days ago, all the maids and maids in the palace have been active, actively looking for clues, and even the lecturer of the inner study hall told us about peanut allergies.

I feel that peanuts have become very popular, and our waiters are right to remember the details related to peanut allergies, so I specially recorded them with a pen, and they are copied below.

First, the symptoms.

Peanut allergy can be triggered by a tiny dose the size of a fingernail.

If many people with allergies eat peanuts, they will immediately experience respiratory symptoms, such as coughs and asthma. Especially for people with asthma, their symptoms will immediately worsen after eating peanuts.

In addition, peanut allergy can cause facial edema, mouth and tongue ulcers, and skin wheals. In severe cases, acute throat edema can occur, leading to death from suffocation.

Next is the risk level.

Since allergies caused by peanuts are immediate allergic reactions, the onset time is within two-quarters of an hour after eating. Although the allergen is easier to identify, the risk is higher due to the rapid onset.

For people who are allergic to peanuts, eating even trace amounts of peanuts or peanut oil can cause severe allergic reactions.

Peanut allergy is also the leading cause of death among food allergies.

According to statistics from Jinling Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in the past ten years, all deaths caused by food allergies are caused by peanuts. In Yingtianfu alone, about three or four people die from peanut allergies every year.

Finally, there are the high-risk groups.

According to statistics from the Department of Medicine of Peking University Science and Technology College in the past 20 years, about one out of every [-] people in Daming is allergic to peanuts.

Although some people only have a mild allergic reaction to peanuts, peanuts can also cause anaphylactic coma in some people.

Typically, peanut allergy develops in childhood and lasts throughout life.

However, people with sensitive constitutions and respiratory diseases are more likely to be allergic to peanuts.

In the year 4443 of the Yanhuang calendar, the 20th year of Qianxi, it was sunny on the 27th of the first lunar month.

Early this morning, the eunuch Kang Ping was ordered to announce the results of the investigation. He said that after several days of searches by the imperial guards and constant clues provided by the chambermaids, it was found that the emperor's grandson Zhu Qizheng drank alcohol before going to bed on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There is a little bit of peanut powder in the warm soup, and this little bit of peanut powder in the warm soup fell from the sleeves of the soup cook.

Judging from the results announced by Emperor Qianxi sent by Kang Ping, the death of Zhu Qizheng, the legitimate son of Prince Zhu Zhanyu, was purely accidental.

But I think this may not be the truth!

Because the royal family needs dignity, the truth may be as I guessed. It was the prince's eldest son Zhu Qiqin who instigated people to secretly tamper with the warm soup of his younger brother Zhu Qizheng.

In the year 4443 of the Yanhuang calendar, the 20th year of Qianxi, on the first day of February, it rained lightly.

An earth-shattering event happened today. Emperor Qianxi’s eldest son, Crown Prince Zhu Zhanyu, passed away!

Ever since Zhu Qizheng's sudden death last month, the prince's mood has been unstable, and he would faint from time to time due to increased energy and blood.In this regard, Emperor Qianxi invited the envoy from the Taiyuan Hospital to live in the duty room outside the East Palace, so that he could diagnose and treat the prince at any time.

However, starting from the 25th of the first lunar month, the prince fell into a coma.

The death of the prince today did not surprise me.

Because the prince fell ill once in June last year. Although it was said that he occasionally caught a cold, he had to recover for more than three months before he could take charge of the affairs.

Therefore, I felt at that time that Prince Zhu Zhanyu might not survive Emperor Qianxi.

Moreover, the Liu Yang case broke out not long after that, and both Liu Xin and Yang Wei were high officials in the border areas who were highly valued by the prince. From this, I boldly guessed that the prince's sudden illness at that time was probably related to the Liu Yang case.

Now that the prince has passed away, it just confirms my original guess.

However, there was one thing that struck me as particularly strange.

That is, after the prince's eldest son, Zhu Qiqin, learned that the prince had passed away, he vomited blood and died of excessive grief.

Compared with the death of the prince, Zhu Qiqin's death seems a bit insignificant.

Because after most people learned that Zhu Qiqin died of grief and vomited blood, they just lamented that he was a most filial person and felt sorry for his death, without paying much attention to it.

But I think this is very unusual.

Zhu Qiqin is 14 years old this year. After the death of the prince, it is not impossible for Emperor Qianxi to appoint him as his grandson.

After all, the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" stipulates the succession sequence of the throne, and does not stipulate that the crown prince must be appointed according to the succession sequence of the throne.

Moreover, the relationship between Emperor Qianxi and Prince Zhu Zhanyu was particularly deep, perhaps not reaching the level of father-son love between Emperor Taizu and Prince Yiwen.

However, it is entirely possible that Emperor Qianxi would appoint Zhu Qiqin, the eldest son of the concubine of Prince Zhu Zhanyu, as the emperor's grandson when he loved Wujiwu.

Therefore, I think it is impossible for Zhu Qiqin to be so sad that he vomits blood and dies in this situation.

It is true that he would be sad, and he might even vomit blood in sadness, after all, this can reflect his feelings for the prince.

But I don’t want to believe that he was so sad that he vomited blood and died.

Maybe there is something hidden in this.

No matter what the truth is, what has happened in the past month alone is destined to be an unusual year.

In the year 4443 of the Yanhuang calendar, the 20th year of Qianxi, it was sunny on May 21st.

Today is an auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites. Prince Zhu Zhanyu was buried on the east side of Maoling by his nephew, and he was given the posthumous title of "Xiangwu".

From today on, Zhu Zhanyu will have another name - Prince Xiangwu.

Just like when the world mentions Prince Yiwen, they know that they are talking about Prince Zhu Biao of the Hongwu Dynasty.

As for Maoling, it is the tomb of Emperor Qianxi that has not yet been completed.

The name Maoling was chosen by Emperor Qianxi himself.

No one dares to ask why His Majesty the Emperor chose the name "Mao", but in my opinion, Emperor Qianxi named his tomb "Mao", probably to imitate Emperor Taizong.

It is said that Emperor Taizong named his mausoleum "Chang", which has two meanings.

One is the literal meaning. He hoped that the Ming Dynasty would last forever.

The second is to compare the Changling of Liu Bang, Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty, and hope that the Ming Dynasty can be as strong and long-lasting as the national destiny of the Han Dynasty.

I guess that Emperor Qianxi named his tomb "Mao", which also has two meanings.

The first is the meaning of the letters. "Mao" means prosperity and beauty. He hoped that the Ming Dynasty could continue its beautiful momentum.

The second is to compare the Maoling of Emperor Xiaowu of Emperor Shizong of the Han Dynasty, hoping that the Ming Dynasty can continue to be as strong as the Han Dynasty.

No matter how many meanings the name Maoling has, from now on the mausoleum of Prince Xiangwu will only be called Maodong Tomb by the world.
