Chapter 892, Arrangements of Emperor Hongzhi
“Holidays are ruined again!”

After receiving the order from Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jin couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

This is related to the health of Emperor Hongzhi, which is naturally the top priority. Don’t even think about taking vacations. You should think about how to handle this matter well to ensure that Emperor Hongzhi can cut off that section very perfectly and successfully. The rotting appendix is ​​what matters.

Liu Jin left the palace and sat in the carriage, thinking constantly in his mind.

Appendicitis is a very minor operation in later generations, and it can be cured successfully in any hospital.

But now it is the Ming Dynasty, and the field of surgery has just begun to be studied. Although appendix removal is a minor operation, in this era without anti-inflammatory drugs, sterile operating rooms, and various advanced instruments, such an operation , the risk is still very high.

This kind of thing fell on his shoulders, which should have cured Emperor Hongzhi. If there was any accident due to the operation, then Liu Jin would inevitably be implicated.

However, Emperor Hongzhi trusted him very much and let him take charge of this matter. Liu Jin also felt that the pressure was too great, and he didn't even think about the holidays.

"Go to Daming Medical College!"

After thinking about it, Liu Jin decided to go to Daming Medical College first, and called Zhang Zhigang and Li Anyuan to discuss the matter carefully. This professional matter should be left to professional people, and let them find ways to complete this task.

Liu Jin took the order to go out to handle this matter. In the study room of Emperor Hongzhi in the palace, Emperor Hongzhi also started to deal with some state affairs.

Although the operation will definitely not be performed in the next one or two months, according to Zhang Zhigang's diagnosis, this chronic intestinal ulcer may turn into acute intestinal ulcer at any time, and once it turns into acute intestinal ulcer, it is very dangerous.

So before he started receiving treatment, Emperor Hongzhi had to think about the future.

"Call the prince immediately."

The first thing that Emperor Hongzhi thought of was to call Zhu Houzhao over. Some things had to be explained to the prince, and at the same time to the important court officials present.

Soon, Zhu Houzhao came to Emperor Hongzhi's Shang study, with tears in his eyes, and on the way, he already knew the cause of the incident.

"Father!"

As soon as Zhu Houzhao came, he immediately threw himself into the arms of Emperor Hongzhi, crying and shouting.

Although Zhu Houzhao was very mischievous, it seemed very unreliable, but the relationship between him and Emperor Hongzhi was very deep. Emperor Hongzhi loved him very much, and used to take Zhu Houzhao out of the palace quietly.

Now that Emperor Hongzhi suffers from intestinal carbuncle, Zhu Houzhao is also very sad and ugly. Although the capital shouted something about waiting for me to be the emperor, when he really heard that Emperor Hongzhi might not live long, he still cried like a like children.

"Silly boy, why are you crying?"

Emperor Hongzhi touched Zhu Houzhao's head in relief. Fortunately, he knew his illness and his situation, so he had time to arrange everything.

"Father, don't worry, there will be no problem with Lao Liu in charge of this matter."

Zhu Houzhao touched his tears and said to Emperor Hongzhi.

"I also trust him, so I let him take charge of this matter."

"So you shouldn't cry even more. You are the crown prince of a country, the prince, and the future emperor. You have grown up and should look like a prince."

"If one day the father is gone, you will still have to shoulder the burden of the great Ming country and the country, and pass on the foundation of this ancestor."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said.

"Father~"

Zhu Houzhao cried even more sadly when he heard the last words of Emperor Hongzhi. After all, he was only a teenager.

"Okay, stop crying."

"From now on, I will gradually hand over the affairs of the court to you."

"You have to learn to deal with major national affairs, and you can no longer be as willful as before."

Emperor Hongzhi comforted him.

"Yes~"

Zhu Houzhao wiped away his tears and replied.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the ministers present. Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian from the cabinet, and Zhang Mao from the Governor's Office of the Five Armies were all important ministers in the court.

"Loves, from today onwards, I will gradually hand over the big and small affairs to the prince. The prince is still young, and he still doesn't understand many things and lacks experience. I still need more assistance from all my dears."

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, everyone couldn't help but their eyes turned slightly red. Emperor Hongzhi had already started to arrange things for the future.

This has been with Emperor Hongzhi for many years, and everyone still has a deep affection for Emperor Hongzhi. This is a good emperor, and he is also quite good to the ministers.

Except for a few major cases that happened in the past few years, the people below did too much, so that Longyan was furious and many people died, Emperor Hongzhi has always been very gentle.

Working with such an emperor, everyone is at ease in their hearts. They can speak out their thoughts and opinions without any scruples, and there is no need to worry about anything.

But once the person who is in charge of the house is changed, and the emperor and courtiers are in this dynasty, everyone's good days may be coming to an end.

"Your Majesty~"

With red eyes, Liu Jian cried out in tears.

"I'm fine. I'm just arranging some things now. Then I can concentrate on treating my illness. When my illness is cured, you and my ministers can discuss state affairs together."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty can."

Liu Jian wiped away his tears, smiled and nodded.

At this time, important ministers such as Minister of the Household Department Zhong Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Min Kyu, and Minister of the Ministry of Industry Lu Jian also rushed to the Shangshufang after receiving the order of Emperor Hongzhi.

"Lu Jian, how is my tomb going?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Lu Jian and asked about the construction of his tomb.

According to the tradition since ancient times, every emperor will build a mausoleum for himself from the day he ascends the throne. Generally speaking, the longer the emperor lives, the larger and more luxurious the mausoleum will be built. Mausoleums are generally relatively simple.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the main project of His Majesty's Mausoleum has already been completed, but because of the appearance of cement and glass, some design modifications have been made to His Majesty's Mausoleum, which has delayed some of the construction period."

Lu Jian thought for a while and replied.

The tombs of emperors have been stolen since ancient times. This is the most important thing to consider when building tombs for emperors in the past dynasties.

In the past, sand characters, stone strips, etc. were usually used for protection, or they were simply built secretly so that people could not find them. However, the tombs of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all gathered together, and there was no way to keep them secret, so Can find a way to prevent theft.

The emergence of cement also makes it easier to prevent theft.

The Ministry of Industry specially built the mausoleum for Emperor Hongzhi. Naturally, it also thought of using cement to build it, and would make some changes to the original design.

"Well, hurry up."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly. Lu Jian also asked him for instructions on the construction of his mausoleum, so he knew this very well.

In the past two years, the tax revenue of the imperial court has increased explosively, the national treasury has been full, and the funds for the construction of Emperor Hongzhi's mausoleum have also increased. Naturally, various aspects must be revised.

"Yes~"

Lu Jian nodded solemnly.

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi ask about his mausoleum, all the new ministers couldn't help but start to wonder, could Emperor Hongzhi die?
Generally speaking, only the emperor would ask about his tomb when he was dying.

Looking at the expressions of Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang, the newcomers Ji Zhong, Liu Daxia, Lu Jian, Min Kyu and others immediately had a lot of guesses.

But soon, Emperor Hongzhi also asked people to tell the cause of the incident, and began to explain the incident.

"From now on, the big and small affairs of the court, unless they are particularly important, will be handled by the prince. I must concentrate on taking good care of my health."

All the important ministers arrived, and Emperor Hongzhi once again explained.

"Yes~"

Everyone replied in unison.

As for Zhu Houzhao, he was still very sad at this time, tears kept falling, and he didn't have the slightest joy of being the master of the house.

As far as he is concerned, he still likes to be a prince, and let Emperor Hongzhi handle major national affairs. As for him, he can learn some things he is interested in and do some things he likes.

"Well, let's start now."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded in satisfaction, and then signaled Zhu Houzhao to sit in front of him, and asked the ministers to start reporting some things to Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Highness, Southern Zhili is here to play. Since the beginning of summer, there have been continuous torrential rains in the south of the Yangtze River, causing floods. The two prefectures of Suzhou and Yangzhou are the most severely affected. We request the imperial court for disaster relief and tax relief."

Soon, someone stood up and asked Zhu Houzhao for instructions.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Emperor Hongzhi after listening. Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi did not speak, he acted as if Zhu Houzhao was in charge of himself. After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao said: "Order the Ministry of Households to allocate money and food for disaster relief, and reduce taxes for the year."

"Your Highness, the Jiaozhi chief envoy came to play. The officials appointed by the imperial court were killed by the local mobs. The local mobs were dissatisfied with our Ming rule and disrespected our imperial court laws. They killed our Ming officials and even slaughtered our Han family immigrants."

After dealing with one matter, another minister soon stood up and asked for instructions.

"Everyone, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Emperor Hongzhi and saw that he still hadn't spoken, so he thought about it and asked Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.

"The minister thought that the imperial court should forcefully suppress it, and sent a large army to wipe out the mob, to defend the dignity of our imperial court, and to safeguard the safety of our Han immigrants."

Liu Jian thought for a while and said immediately.

"I think what Liu Gong said is true~"

"The minister also agrees."

"..."

"Then act according to Mr. Liu's wishes, order the local garrison in Jiaozhi to wipe out the local mobs."
