Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 61
"Cough cough."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly coughed violently.

Zhu Di hurriedly stepped forward, patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the back and said, "Father, don't worry, I have sent someone to summon the imperial doctor, and Gao Xu personally escorted him, so we can definitely keep the Wang family safe."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was very pale, and he gasped: "We have nothing to do, you can go too, and you must ask the imperial doctor to save Wang and her unborn baby."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's tough attitude, Zhu Di had to retreat.

After he left the West Palace, he went straight to the East Sixth Palace and soon caught up with Zhu Gaoxu and others.

At this time, Wang Qihong and Princess Xu rode in the same carriage, moving forward at a steady speed, while Zhu Gaoxu followed beside him, saying a few words of comfort to Wang Qihong from time to time.

"Gao Xu, your grandfather's condition is not very good. I'm worried. You go and take care of him. Your mother and I will take care of him here. If anything happens, I'll send someone to call you."

Zhu Di quickly caught up and said.

Princess Xu nodded in agreement: "I will take Wang to the side hall of Changning Palace and send someone to take good care of her."

"Then there will be Father and Mother."

Zhu Gaoxu responded, then turned around resolutely, and went straight to the West Palace without any hesitation.

Princess Xu had spoken, and there was no need for him to show off his worries.

Because Changning Palace is currently the residence of Princess Xu, Wang Qihong's move into the side hall of Changning Palace is equivalent to being placed under Princess Xu's nose.

This is enough to show that Princess Xu attaches great importance to Wang Qihong, and she cannot help but ignore it.

Although Wang Qihong was only Zhu Gaoxu's concubine, according to the Ming Dynasty system, if a prince or county prince's concubine had no heirs, they would not be included in the genealogy.

However, if nothing unexpected happens, a hundred years after Zhu Di, the throne will be passed to Zhu Gaoxu.

In this way, when Zhu Gaoxu ascends the throne as emperor, according to the current hierarchical system of concubines in the harem, Wang Qihong will be able to get the status of a beauty or talent for the last time. If she can give birth to an heir this time, she may be able to take the throne of Jieyu in the future. Or a noble person, or even the position of concubine.

Historically, Zhu Di had concubines of Korean origin, which originated from Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of ​​"marriage" with King Wang Chang of Goryeo and later King Taejo of the Joseon Dynasty Li Chenggui.

According to historical records, in April of the 22nd year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty issued an order to the king to choose a girl with a good family background to marry a member of the royal family, saying: "I have several children here, but if there is a girl from a good family in Korea, I will marry the future disciple." "

Moreover, after Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Wang Qihong, not only did he not express his disgust, he also directly ordered Princess Xu to send someone to clean up a yard for Wang Qihong to live in.

All in all, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't need to worry too much about Wang Qihong's safety right now.

He trotted hurriedly and, accompanied by Zhao Junchen, quickly arrived at the front hall of the West Palace.

Without waiting for the chamberlain on duty to report, Zhu Gaoxu walked straight into the hall.

"If you don't go with Mrs. Wang, why are you here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion when he saw that Zhu Gaoxu had turned back.

"Dad just said that grandpa had a bad cough, and his grandson was worried about it, so he came here to take care of grandpa."

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the side of the couch, held Zhu Yuanzhang's wrinkled old hands, and said with a heavy heart.

"We know our body well."

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "That Wang is loyal, honest and a reliable person. She is about to give birth now. You should go and accompany her."

"Grandpa, don't worry. With father and mother taking care of you, the Wang family will be safe. My grandson will be here to watch over grandpa," Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zhu Yuanzhang said dissatisfied: "If I ask you to go, you will go. You don't want to listen to what we say, right?"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't resist Zhu Yuanzhang, so he had to bow down and walk out.

But as soon as he took two steps, the sound of Zhu Yuanzhang's vomiting sounded behind him.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately turned around and saw Zhu Yuanzhang covering his mouth with a light yellow brocade handkerchief. Purple-black blood flowed from his fingers and down his arm.

"grandfather!"

Zhu Gaoxu yelled, walked as fast as flying, rushed to the bed, and supported the shaky Zhu Yuanzhang.

He dragged Zhu Yuanzhang to lie down flat. When he looked up, he found that the other person had closed his eyes.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu felt as if his heart jumped into his throat.

He stretched out his trembling right hand and gently placed it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's nostrils. After noticing the weak breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After Zhu Yuanzhang was settled, Zhu Gaoxu hurried outside the palace and said to the chamberlain on duty on the left side of the door: "Go and tell my father that your Majesty is unwell."

Then, he turned his head and ordered to the chamberlain on the right: "Go to the Taiyuan Hospital to judge Zhang Yixian."

After the two chamberlains were ordered to leave, Zhu Gaoxu hurried back into the palace and stood quietly in front of the dragon bed.

He especially hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang could continue to live, preferably three to five years, a year and a half, even ten days and a half.

The imperial examination reform has just been implemented on a trial basis and has not yet been officially rolled out.The new currency will only be implemented for one day.

There are too many things that require the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty to establish a system.

If Zhu Yuanzhang gives up and leaves, it is very likely that the vassal changes will come to nothing.

With the character and methods of King Yan Zhu Di, after he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely launch a movement to reduce the vassal status, and bloodshed is inevitable.

And this is not what Zhu Gaoxu wants to see!
Now the Ming Dynasty is promoting new coins and starting the reform of the imperial examination. In the next few years or even ten years, the focus must be on recuperation and recuperation.

If he loses the support of the people, Zhu Gaoxu is worried that the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by the emperor Zhu Di in the future.

Although the Royal Commercial Bank has made a lot of money, with its current storage capacity, it cannot afford the squandering of the wealthy Zhu Di in three years.

Just when Zhu Gaoxu was thinking a lot, King Yan Zhu Di hurried over.

Before his men reached the dragon bed, the voice first reached Zhu Gaoxu's ears.

"Gao Xu, how is your Grandpa Huang doing?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked up at Zhu Di and said with red eyes: "Dad, grandpa just vomited a mouthful of blood and then passed out."

"Where is the imperial doctor?" Zhu Di asked anxiously.

Zhu Gaoxu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and whispered: "It should be on the way here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yixian's urgent shout outside the palace door rang in his ears.

"Chen Tai Hospital has sentenced Zhang Yixian, come and standby."

"Stop talking nonsense and come in quickly to treat His Majesty!"

Zhu Di said loudly and anxiously.

After receiving permission, Zhang Yixian quickly stepped inside.

"I have met His Highness——" Zhang Yixian saluted.

"No need to worry, let's get your Majesty a quick diagnosis and treatment." Zhu Di said with a big wave of his hand.

Seeing Zhang Yixian coming, Zhu Gaoxu stepped aside.

Later, Zhang Yixian came to the dragon bed, grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's right hand and began to feel his pulse.

After a while, he put down Zhu Yuanzhang's right hand, then grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's left hand and continued to feel the pulse.

"how?"

Not long after, seeing Zhang Yixian put down Zhu Yuanzhang's left hand, Zhu Di asked anxiously.

Zhang Yixian took a few steps back, bowed his waist, and whispered: "Report to Your Highness, His Majesty..."

Zhu Gaoxu looked back outside the hall and saw that no one was close to eavesdrop, so he said to Zhang Yixian: "Speak."

"Your Highness, son."

Zhang Yixian's knees went weak, he knelt down and said in a tearful voice: "I dare not hide it. Your Majesty, his time has come, and Bintian is around the corner."

When Zhu Di heard this, he suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and instantly felt like the world was spinning.

He was stimulated and over-emotional, his blood flowed backwards and rushed straight to his forehead, causing him to become temporarily deaf.

After a few breaths, Zhu Di returned to normal. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's deadline was coming, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Zhang Yixian would never dare to lie about this matter, so Zhu Yuanzhang was really about to die.

Thinking of losing his father, Zhu Di's heart was instantly enveloped in sadness, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

"You step back."

Zhu Di put his hand on his forehead to block his tearful eyes and said to Zhang Yixian.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the dragon bed in despair, sat on the side of the couch, then held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and cried silently.

Although he understood that life, old age, illness and death are inevitable for no one, he still hoped that God would allow Zhu Yuanzhang to live longer.

Zhu Yuanzhang has lost several sons and grandsons in the past few years, and the blow he has suffered is far greater than in history. It is extremely difficult to survive until now.

After Zhang Yixian left, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting on the couch and crying, and choked up: "Gaoxu, go out, I want to be alone with your grandfather."
