Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 101 The Crown Princess is seriously ill!
Wow!
The cry was so loud that Zhu Biao even felt that it resounded in his heart.

He quickly stood up and looked forward.

Queen Ma also moved hurriedly.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also walked in quickly from outside the door. He didn't go far at all and stayed nearby.

"Congratulations! Mother and son are safe!"

at this time.

The midwife had a smile on her face, and the palace maids following him were all relieved, as if they had followed the princess through the gates of hell.

"it is good!"

When Zhu Biao heard the voice, he immediately couldn't suppress his feelings just now. He was full of emotions and shouted out the word. As he said that, he even wanted to rush in.

Just now...

The waiting time was too long, God knows how many things were going through his mind. What if Chang doesn't know what to do if something goes wrong with this child?
Who should I blame?

"Your Highness, don't be anxious. Please wait a little longer before going in. It took too long just now. I was also afraid that Your Majesty and Your Highness would be impatient, so I hurriedly came to inform you."

Zhu Biao was stopped and quickly reacted.

Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, walked over with big strides. He already knew that "mother and son are safe" just now, and that his old Zhu family was flourishing again.

"Haha! Reward!"

"You have merit, and so does the Crown Princess! Everyone here has merit, and so does the Lu family!"

"Give us a big reward!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, and he would not be stingy at this time. After shouting a few words happily, he started talking to himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mrs. Lu quickly thanked her sincerely.

"Thank you..." Queen Ma said: "Jing'er is physically weak during this period. You will be temporarily responsible for the affairs of the East Palace. Let Jing'er rest more. When she is fine, you can spend more time with her."

"Yes!" Lu nodded quickly.

This was also the case when the princess gave birth in previous years, and she was already familiar with it.

But just now, the waiting time is getting longer and longer. If I keep waiting like this, maybe I...

Lu couldn't help but feel horrified when she thought of this, and just wanted to interrupt these thoughts quickly. However, maybe she was thinking too much just now, and these thoughts were like maggots on her tarsus, and she couldn't get rid of them.

By the end, she was a little panicked herself.

Just at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded, interrupting her thoughts.

"We have already thought about it, the children of your lineage are of the Yun generation. This grandson will be named Yunxi when he is born!"

"Yunwen, Yunxi... the second and third brothers will join the vassal soon. These two brothers should also go to the vassal land to benefit the people and protect the capital like their second and third uncles!"

Zhu Biao immediately said yes. He just wanted to go in and see Chang Jing now.

On the other side, Lu quickly responded with a smile.

However, it was a long wait.

But they found that the midwife hadn't come out yet, and even Zhu Xiongying was waiting impatiently.

"Grandpa Huang, I want to go in..."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also realized that the time was a bit long, so he winked and asked someone to ask.

Unexpectedly, the palace maid sent just walked to the door, and the midwife opened the door, revealing the gap.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is probably too tired and hasn't woken up yet, but the little grandson should be able to see. Why don't you come in and take a look..."

Zhu Biao frowned.

But this should be normal, he walked in quickly.

First, he looked at Chang Jing who was lying on the bed. His face was a little pale, his forehead and cheeks were covered with sweat and tears. He had his eyes closed at the moment, and he seemed to be in a deep sleep while lying on the bed, and his breath was very weak.

Zhu Biao had no doubt that he had it. It was normal to be weak just after giving birth.

After seeing that Chang Jing was fine, he looked at the child.

Before he opened his eyes, he teased her a little and then set his eyes on Chang Jing again, but he couldn't move his eyes away.

"When will Jing'er wake up?"

"It should take one night. This time it's a bit long. The Crown Princess has also put in a lot of effort and needs to take good care of her health these days." said the midwife.

Zhu Biao nodded, as long as nothing happened.

"After tidying up a little more, go out and collect your reward."

"Yes!"

The midwife and several palace maids nodded quickly. Zhu Biao looked at Chang Jing for a while and found that she hadn't woken up yet.

For some reason, he was a little worried.

However, his father and mother were still waiting outside. He temporarily suppressed his worries and walked out quickly.

After describing what he saw in the room.

Queen Ma nodded and said, "Maybe I'm too tired. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Your mother is right, mother and son are safe."

"Our old Zhu family has an imperial grandson. It just so happens that new banknotes are about to be issued. It is time to continue our plan of treasure banknotes. This is a good sign for our Ming Dynasty!"

"Immediately tell the officials that we will let the entire capital know that we are going to give this child a birth gift!"

"When the moon is full, we will celebrate together, offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, reward dragon robes, gold and jade locks... and we will also crown this child a king!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Just make him King of Wu!"

As soon as these words came out.

Queen Ma was surprised at first, then smiled and nodded.

Zhu Biao immediately refused.

"Father, I'm afraid this is inconsistent with etiquette, isn't it?"

You must know that the King of Wu was the king named by Zhu Yuanzhang before he became emperor. This title should not be given randomly. At the very least, his talents and abilities must convince everyone one by one so that the princes cannot choose the wrong one.

However, even the prince was not granted the title of King of Wu, but the throne was given to a newly born grandson.

It was almost destined from Zhu Yuanzhang that this son would be rich and noble for many generations in the future, and he would be called the first of all kings among his peers.

For a moment, Zhu Biao felt that this reward was too generous and too early...

You know, his other son, Zhu Yunwen, has not yet been crowned king.

He turned to look at Lu, and found that the latter also had a look of astonishment on his face. He had never expected that the prince would be so happy.

"What's there to think about? The throne is right there. If we don't seal it, why don't we just wait for it to be empty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved, "It's settled, hurry up and pass it on!"

He said the last words to the chamberlain who had been following him.

The latter nodded hurriedly and ran out with a happy face. The sound of singing resounded from the East Palace to the entire palace city almost halfway.

"The whole world celebrates the birth of the emperor's grandson! Your Majesty is overjoyed and has granted you the title of King of Wu!"

A few people were celebrating.

But she didn't realize that Mrs. Lu looked at her ignorant and young son with a blank look in her eyes...

……

The next day!

When Su Xian heard the news, it was already the next morning.

"So fast?"

"Why is it so fast? Isn't this normal? It only lasts these two days."

Wu Xiu said with a smile that after she went there on New Year's Eve, her horizons seemed to have suddenly opened up.

"My mother said that the Crown Princess is quite friendly and she is blessed by God. Do you still remember the past few days? Our neighbors are all... Oh! Forget it."

"I hope mother and son are safe!"

Wu Xiu said something and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you should also prepare during this period. After all, you are giving birth to an emperor's grandson. Your Majesty has given you such a generous reward. We have to give something as a gift."

"I just don't know what to give as a gift. The palace should be short of everything, right?"

Mother and child are safe?

Su Xian couldn't care less about eating. Could it be that he had changed history a long time ago and quietly changed the fate of the Crown Princess invisibly?

However, history books also say that the princess died of illness about a month after giving birth.

at this time……

"Mom, then the ministers have to celebrate today, right?"

"It's this ceremony. The Holy One said personally that he was going to be crowned king, or it was confirmed just after he was born. It shows that he loves him. I'm afraid all the officials have been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and they are waiting to go to the East Palace."

Wu Xiu said, and then added: "I'm afraid your father has to go too, but your father hasn't come back recently. He has been working on Baochao's case. He is so busy that he doesn't even know the day. I'm afraid I haven't heard the news yet."

While she was still talking, Su Xian had already gotten up.

"I'll go to the palace and have a look."

It is very easy for him to go to the palace now. He only needs to stop at Xi'an Gate and the small door will open automatically. Of course, this is the result of Zhu Yuanzhang's notification to the imperial army.

Su Xian left as soon as he said he would, but he still went back to the room and walked straight towards the palace. Wu Xiu also quickly got up and was ready to see him off.

I just arrived at Xi'an Gate not long ago.

The carriages and horses had already formed a group.

"Su Xian!"

But ahead, two brothers, Chang Sheng and Chang Sen, poked their heads out of the carriage. They saw Su Xian and called out quickly.

The Chang Mansion is the Crown Princess's natal family, and she will definitely go there at this time. Even the old lady of the Chang Mansion is dispatched. Of course, the princess is still young at this time, but her hair on the temples is already a little gray.

Su Xian quickly approached.

"We just want to go to the palace to see eldest sister." Chang Sen said with a smile.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang valued this child, the more unshakable Chang's status became.

A few years later, Zhu Xiongying was designated as the emperor's grandson, and this new emperor's grandson was the king of Wu!

That and Chang Mansion also became dignitaries from generation to generation.

However, Su Xian didn't have time to talk to Chang Sen and others at this time.

In history, there is no accurate record of how Chang died. Now it is said that mother and son are safe.

He himself was still confused and could only fall into those speculations.

I hope my preparations are useful!
While thinking...

Finally, the Xi'an Gate slowly opened, and Su Xian followed the people from the Chang Mansion in. After all, as a family member, there was no need to wait outside or follow the officials to celebrate. They could go directly to the East Palace to wait. When we arrived at the East Palace, it was not as crowded as we had imagined.

Most of the officials put down their gifts and left quickly.

Those who can stay are the confidants of Zhan Shifu, the prince, and the nobles of the country.

However, when Su Xian arrived, he could still vaguely hear the officials chatting, saying that it was not appropriate to grant the King of Wu a ceremonial title at this time, and that the Holy One made the decision too quickly, and did not yet know the character of the emperor's grandson when he grew up. At least wait until after the crowning ceremony to decide...

Su Xian followed Chang Mansion's group and quickly entered the East Palace.

When the old lady came to see her daughter, of course no one dared to stop her. Even Prince Zhu Biao came to meet her immediately.

Su Xian could only follow Chang Sen and others, got off the carriage, and then went to find Zhu Xiongying.

However, after walking for a long time, Zhu Xiongying was not seen. Instead, the friends from the main hall gathered together.

……

"How's Jing'er doing?"

After Lan saw Zhu Biao, he exchanged a few simple greetings and then got straight to the point.

Zhu Biao frowned, "I have been sleeping since last night. I woke up once in the morning, said a few words, and then fell asleep again."

"Huh? Do you still want to sleep after sleeping all night?"

Lan still cared about her daughter's body, "You didn't feel like this when you gave birth to a hero for the first time, right? After giving birth to a princess twice, you felt a little energetic the next day."

Zhu Biao also quickly told what happened last night. The princess's delivery took too long this time, and the midwife also said to take more rest.

"Your Highness, can you please ask the imperial doctor..."

"Please...if it's the same as the midwife, rest more." Zhu Biao was also a little anxious for some reason.

"I may be really tired after a while." In the end, Lan could only say this, but she was still worried, "Can you let me go in and see Jing'er?"

How could Zhu Biao refuse?

"The Queen Mother is inside."

"Alright!"

With that said, Lan couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly walked inside.

……

the other side.

Since many people came to the East Palace at once, Zhu Biao had to deal with the nobles and find time to deal with state affairs.

The rest of the burden rests entirely on Lu's shoulders.

But this time, Mrs. Lu looked at her father and mother in front of her, Lu Ben, the Minister of Rites of the dynasty!

After a brief reminiscing about old times, Mrs. Lu will take her mother to another location. Most of the people in this place are important officials of the country.

After congratulations, he will leave.

However, as Lu walked out of the palace, Lu Ben immediately followed her and inquired about the news.

"The Crown Princess hasn't woken up yet?" This news first surprised Lu Ben.

Then, he looked around and found that no one was there, so he lowered his tone and asked again: "Did something happen last night?"

Everyone knows that giving birth to a woman is like going to hell!

If something happens to the Chang family, then...

Thinking of this, that incredible thought came to the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't get rid of it.

Once upon a time, they had never had this dream.

In other words, from the day Lu married the prince and became the concubine, this thought would flash through her mind from time to time.

When Zhu Yunwen was born, this idea became even stronger!
Everything was like a dream. Once upon a time, he was still an old minister of Yuanting, and he had to worry about whether the government would liquidate them.

However, His Majesty obviously did not directly massacre these old ministers, but instead gave them generous treatment. In order to reassure many courtiers in Yuanting, Zhu Yuanzhang even specially selected an "in-law" from among them!
As it happens, the Lu family is lucky.

Nowadays, Mrs. Lu is the concubine, and she also has the prince by her side.

As long as there is the slightest coincidence!

"Dad, what are you thinking about? It's okay." Ms. Lu shook her head.

Lu Benz's eyes were blazing, but he quickly suppressed it and just said again: "Daughter, my father is not worth it for you!"

"But the newly-born emperor's grandson didn't even think about it, even if it doesn't comply with the rules, he will be crowned King of Wu!"

"Why does my grandson have nothing?"

Lu was silent.

Lu Ben couldn't help but said angrily in a low voice: "This is all because you are the concubine! And she is the main concubine!"

"It's a pity that dad has no ability. If he has a bargaining chip like the Huaixi faction, the first one to marry the prince will not be her, but you!"

"Why is my grandson being treated so unfairly?"

Lu remained silent, but tears of grievance appeared in her eyes.

Seeing my daughter like this.

Lu Ben seemed to have something to say, but every time it came to his lips, he felt as if his heart was about to jump out. This gave him a huge sense of excitement!
I wanted to swallow the words, but I couldn't.

In the end, he luckily rubbed his face.

Even the eyes are red.

"Daughter, I can actually tell that the Holy Master has deliberately suppressed the nobles of Huaixi in recent years!"

"Their power is too great. Although Your Majesty walked out of them, who among the emperors in the past has not been afraid of such a powerful force?"

"So over the years, there has been a southeastern faction in the government, once headed by Mr. Qingtian. However, with the passing of Mr. Qingtian, both the government and the public wanted to join Prime Minister Wang!"

"But I don't want Hu Xiang to be in full swing..."

Lu Ben didn't know why. He wanted to tell the most critical information, but he couldn't say it in his heart.

He could only think about the left and right, but he actually started to analyze the situation in the court.

"Dad, what do you want to say?" Madam Lu raised her head and looked directly at Lu Ben with gentle eyes.

Lu Ben rubbed his hands and looked around again, but the corners of his eyes were almost filled with bloodshot eyes.

In the end, it seemed he couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Dad wants to say...we, the old ministers of Yuanting, although we have little power, we don't look impressive on weekdays."

"But you can blend in with the Southeast, and you can blend in with Hu Xiang! But you can naturally blend in with neither."

"On the contrary, the pure flow is the largest. You see... the current master of the main hall, Song Liansong, is a former minister of Yuanting. Your father and I, the Minister of Rites, are also former ministers of Yuanting..."

"even……"

He lowered his tone and whispered: "Even Prime Minister Wang is a Jinshi of Yuanting!"

"Even though they went to help the Holy Lord conquer the world early, their heels are here... and they can't be erased no matter what."

Mrs. Lu was confused. She didn't want to understand or hear about the situation in the DPRK.

"Dad...what are you going to say?"

"You! Your daughter!" Lu Ben's expression was so angry that he lost control of it.

His hands trembled, and his lips began to tremble, but the words that had been suppressed in his chest had now reached his throat.

By this moment, he could no longer suppress it.

"Although the situation between North Korea and China is like this, we must also look at the overall situation of the world!"

"From the war in the late Yuan Dynasty to the founding of Hongwu, how long did the war last? The people of the world are probably already overwhelmed and are urgently seeking peace!"

"Daughter, look at it, the Crown Princess has only given birth to a grandson, who are all the people here? The Chang Mansion, the Duke of Ying's Palace, the Duke of Wei's Palace, the Duke of Song's Palace... they are all distinguished, and they all want to shout about military merit. , the honorable man who is going to fight!"

"If I, the Ming Dynasty, keep fighting, when will the world be at peace?"

Lu didn't want to hear it anymore and was about to leave.

But Lu Ben held his daughter's hand.

"The world is at peace, and the people of Li can recuperate and live in peace and contentment! They can't give you these words!"

"As long as we can give it!"

"Only your father and us, the old ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, these civil servants, and these capable officials in governing the world can give it."

"Only in this way can the people of the world truly be at peace!"

Lu twitched her arm, "Dad...you think too much."

"Listen to me..." Lu Ben suppressed his tone and said seductively: "Your father and I have no children, and you are the only daughter. Your Majesty also takes a fancy to this..."

"Does Your Majesty want peace in the world? Do the officials want it? Do the people want it?"

"We... have a chance!"

Lu couldn't bear it anymore. She suddenly pulled out her hands and covered her ears, but she didn't want to listen anymore.

However, Lu Ben's words had come to this point, and now there was no one around.

Fortunately, he shouted out all the words that had been hidden in his heart for who knows how long.

"Too many honors will inevitably lead to trouble!"

"If you say grandson, who says your son cannot be my grandson?"

As soon as these words came out.

Lu was so frightened that she turned pale and even wanted to flee.

Lu Ben did not catch him this time. After he shouted these words, he felt infinite regret and... panic!
This idea could only be imagined in dreams before... No, I didn't even dare to dream about it.

But today, when he heard that the emperor's grandson was born directly, he would be overjoyed by His Majesty with the help of treasure money, and he would be crowned King of Wu. He was not worth it!
Especially when he heard that the Crown Princess was not awake yet, this idea grew like a devil in an instant, swallowing up all his desires and growing rapidly.

But now, after actually shouting it out, he realized that this idea was so absurd.

Totally impossible!

After relaxing his mood, Lu Ben also walked outside in despair.

But at this moment...

A voice full of anxiety and panic suddenly sounded.

"It's not good, it's not good, call the doctor quickly! The princess has a high fever!"

Swish!
Lu Ben stood there blankly. The extravagant hope that had been deeply buried in his heart instantly turned into an unconcealable surprise, filling his eyes!

He suddenly looked ahead...

But they found that Lu was in front, and the staggering figure that was supposed to be panicking suddenly stopped!

like a statue!
