The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 243 Zhu Yuanzhang Fainted, The Magnificent Zhu Ying

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.

In his impression, the mother is so smart, she must have already thought about the way forward.

However, after the words 'move to the mausoleum' came out, Zhu Yunqi realized that his mother had prepared for the worst.

It was at this time that he truly understood how exaggerated the big brother's influence on himself and his mother was.

After all, he was just a teenager and hadn't experienced these things.

"My son will definitely go to beg my elder brother. I will definitely not let my mother do this. Yes, my son begs the emperor's grandpa and elder brother. When my son becomes a vassal, my mother will go with me. We will not stay in this palace anymore."

Zhu Yunwen thought about it, and suddenly said with a flash of inspiration.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "My mother understands Yun Wen's intentions, but this is against royal etiquette, and my mother cannot go."

"Don't worry so much. Your elder brother may not be able to tolerate being a mother. There is no enmity between us and your elder brother. The position of grandson should belong to your elder brother."

"We just need to do what we are supposed to do and not covet unnecessary things, and that's it."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunqi felt relieved.

The hostility towards the eldest brother in my heart suddenly eased a lot, and my thoughts are gradually changing under Lu's teaching.

'Perhaps, elder brother is indeed more suitable for governing the world than me. '

Although Zhu Biao is the prince, he is already exercising the power of the emperor.

Dongling, the mausoleum of Zhu Biao, is located to the east of Xiaoling.

The overall layout is very close to that of the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the decorations in many specifications have reached the standard only for emperors.

Dongling is composed of architectural elements such as mausoleum, mausoleum gate, front door of Xiangdian, Xiangdian and Baoding. The main buildings are distributed on a north-south axis.

The garden wall at the front of the mausoleum is in the shape of a turtle’s back and has a special layout. It is the only special case of the layout of the imperial mausoleum, which shows how much Zhu Yuanzhang attaches importance to it.

The mausoleum gate of the Dongling Mausoleum is a palace-style building with a single eaves and a hilltop, covered with green glazed tiles, and is a three-hole gate.

The front gate of Xiangdian is a three-bay single-eave Xieshan-top building, also covered with green glazed tiles, and the scale is the same as that of the prince's tomb.

Xiangdian is the largest building in Dongling, it is a five-open intermittent hilltop building, covered with yellow glazed tiles.

This is the standard treatment that only the emperor's mausoleum can enjoy.

As the first prince of Ming Dynasty and the most powerful prince in history, Zhu Biao's passing away was a great blow to the entire Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Biao was still alive, Zhu Di would never have the intention of rebelling, and he would never get anyone's help.

Zhu Biao has the highest prestige among the kings, and he only needs one decree to go on, and he can only commit obediently for such things as cutting down the feudal clan.

In the early morning of this day, the capital was completely absent.

Under the rule of Zhu Yuanzhang in the current Ming Dynasty, the trend of extravagance has not yet emerged. Even if the prince passed away, apart from how particular he was in the past few days, Zhu Yuanzhang later ordered not to affect the lives of the people.

Even if it is the day of the burial, it is only one day.

Before dawn, civil and military officials were all dressed in plain clothes and waiting in front of Fengtian Gate.

There is no morning court today, and the burial of the prince is the biggest thing.

Fortunately, Dongling is only about ten miles away from the imperial palace, so it is relatively easy for the minister to go to the funeral on foot.

The royal funeral system is naturally the highest standard in Ming Dynasty. The current funeral system is not perfect, and basically follows the framework of the former Song Dynasty.

After the opening of the Fengtian Gate, the Taoist monks in the square began to perform rituals and music, and all civil and military officials walked all the way to the Hall of Renzhi and bowed their heads in worship.

In front of the Hall of Renzhi, there are many descendants and concubines of the royal family.

The door opened, and Zhu Yuanzhang's figure slowly appeared, and there was another person beside him, which was Zhu Ying.

The ministers who can be in the front row, headed by the five ministers, are well-informed, so naturally they have long known about the existence of His Royal Highness Changsun.

After that, most of the ministers were shocked when they saw Zhu Ying, but at this moment, no one dared to say anything.

Sacrifice to Taimiao, sacrifice to Jinshui Bridge, Meridian Gate, Zhongshan and a series of empresses.

It's the coffin going up the mountain.

After the round trip, it was already getting dark.

After everything was over, many court officials began to talk about it.

"Who is next to His Highness today, and why we have never seen it before, and he looks so similar to His Highness the Crown Prince, could it be?"

"Forget talking, don't make wild guesses. Didn't you see that the adults didn't express their views? Since we can be by His Majesty's side, there is no way we can talk nonsense. I'm afraid our lives will be lost."

"It's all reasonable, but I look at it, it seems that His Royal Highness seems to be behind that person, and the canonization that will be set next month, there should be no changes."

As soon as the official finished speaking, other officials immediately pulled his sleeves.

The official looked back, only to see a familiar face in front of him, he hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Lord Lu, I just asked you to forgive me for my nonsense, and I definitely didn't mean to speculate in secret."

The so-called Master Lu is none other than Lu Ben, Lu's father.

It is worth mentioning that now Lu Ben is no longer working in the Ministry of Rites, but has served as Minister of Taichang Temple.

Ranked one of the five temples of the Ming Dynasty, this is an official of the third rank.

However, the content of the work is similar to that in the Ministry of Rites before, in charge of rites and music, suburban temples, shrines, altars, and mausoleums.

This promotion and salary increase is naturally due to the Crown Princess Lu's sake.

But now Lu Ben's complexion is not very good-looking, and the discussions of the surrounding officials are ringing in his ears, making him very clear that his grandson is very likely to miss the position of grandson and crown prince.

Thinking of his daughter's request before, Lu Ben felt bored and panicked.

With a cold snort, he turned and left.

Seeing this, many officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and it was difficult to discuss any more, so they dispersed one after another.

Truth be told, the cumbersome ritual system is more tiring, and funerals seem more solemn than sad.

Crying means that there are special people who cry for funerals, and there is no need for a large number of people to cry in a fake way like in the later Qing Dynasty.

After experiencing what happened yesterday, Zhu Yuanzhang's sadness has faded to a large extent, but along the way, he has been holding Zhu Ying's hand tightly.

It was as if he was afraid that his grandson would leave at any time.

In the Hall of Spring Harmony, the Lu family was still a little shocked: "It's so similar, no wonder His Majesty attaches so much importance to it. This appearance, temperament, if it is older, it can almost confuse the real one."

"Anyone who sees him will feel that he has an inseparable relationship with the prince, but Yun Wen is not wronged. I am afraid that even if the prince has not passed away, Yun Wen will not be able to resist."

Lu Shi had thought before that if the crown prince hadn't died, she might still be able to fight against one or two, but after seeing the real person, she realized that it was almost impossible.

Lu is good at observing people.

At today's funeral, many descendants of the royal family, including many ministers, will have a look of intense grief on their faces. As for whether it is true or not, it depends on the individual.

Only two people are different.

One is His Majesty, and the other is His Highness Changsun.

Dare to do this is enough to prove that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, has been fully recognized, without the slightest doubt.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu went to the bedroom, opened a dark cabinet, and took out a stack of papers.

The paper was a bit old, and it was about Zhu Xiongying's outpatient records at Zeng Tai Hospital when he was eight years old.

Looking at the records above,
Doubt, hesitation, and a little bit of unwillingness flashed in Lu's eyes.

She has been persuading her son Zhu Yunqi how to surrender to her elder brother and how to give up fighting for the grandson position.

Even show willingness and brotherhood.

These actions are not Lu Shi's real and complete abandonment, but she knows that with her son's current age and personality, she can't hide things at all.

If you encourage disputes, it will spoil the big things, and you won't even have a way out.

At that time, even if Zhu Xiongying doesn't want to do anything, there will be people who will continue to speak up.

Only like now can Yun Yun get out of this dispute and seek another chance.

And these evidences are Lu's last trump card.

But now, holding the only evidence, Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth lightly, then kept tearing it into pieces, and finally lit it on the candle.

Watching it burn into ashes, a hint of relief appeared in Lu's eyes.

Today, whether it is Jin Yiwei or other personal guards, the admiration in Zhu Xiongying's eyes makes Lu feel scared.

This kind of look is only seen when the soldiers look at His Majesty, but now it appears on Zhu Xiongying's body.

The impact of the veterans' retirement system is even more terrifying than she estimated.

Unless His Majesty personally takes action, there is no one in this world who can fight against him.

How could His Majesty deal with his eldest grandson?

Now that His Majesty is getting old, what worries him the most is the future successor of Ming Dynasty, like the former prince, who spends most of his time doing what the emperor would do.

After thinking clearly, Mrs. Lu finally cut off all these thoughts.

Zhu Ying's strength is real strength. The prince is his father in blood. He has no memory and will not show any pain.

Zhu Yuanzhang's strength is superficial strength.

After returning to the palace after the funeral, Zhu Yuanzhang passed out not long after.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"

All this caught Zhu Ying off guard, he didn't expect the old man to fall like this.

Jiang Yu rushed out at the first time, the speed was very fast, and soon there was the sound of a carriage.

In the imperial palace, Tai Hospital is the only place equipped with carriages.

Several imperial physicians arrived, and the leader immediately stepped forward to check Zhu Yuanzhang's condition.

"How!" Zhu Ying asked in a deep voice.

The old imperial doctor immediately said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Your Majesty was overly sad, which caused her heart to be hurt, and the blood surged up before she fainted. You only need to rest for a few days, and there is no serious problem."

Zhu Ying frowned and asked, "How long will it take to wake up?"

The old doctor thought about it and replied: "As soon as tomorrow, as short as two or three days, Your Majesty will wake up."

Zhu Ying nodded.

After the old imperial physician finished speaking, he bowed and retreated, and the imperial physicians behind him took turns.

This is a rule, for the diagnosis of the royal family, generally at least three or more imperial physicians should work together to ensure that the symptoms are the same.

Then the imperial physician who came on stage basically spoke the same words as the old imperial physician at first.

Only then did Zhu Ying feel a little relieved.

The imperial physician retreated outside the hall, Liu He suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is not in good health, but the palace must not be left alone, and please ask His Highness the eldest grandson to preside over the affairs of the palace temporarily."

After Liu He finished speaking, Jiang Yu also bowed his hands to express his attitude.

Zhu Ying glanced at the two of them, and said: "Grandpa is just tired and needs to sleep for a while, what's the matter?"

"Your Highness."

Liu He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Ying waving.

"There is no need to worry too much about such a small matter. There will be no chaos in this palace, and no one will have strange thoughts, so there is no need to talk about it."

Hearing this, Liu He bowed his head.

Of course Zhu Ying knew what Liu He meant, but from Zhu Ying's point of view, it was unnecessary.

Whether it's Zhu Yunqi or the Lu family.

What storms can it withstand?

The imperial guards are now under the control of Zhu Ying, there is really no need to target Zhu Yunqi, such a move seems a bit ruthless.

Zhu Ying did not block the news, so the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's fainting spread quickly in the palace.

Concubine Ning was the first to come to the door.

"Xiongying, what's your Majesty's situation now?" Concubine Ning hurriedly asked after entering.

Zhu Ying replied: "Don't worry, ma'am, the imperial doctor has come to check it out. Grandpa just fainted due to excessive sadness. He will wake up tomorrow."

Concubine Ning was relieved after listening, recalling that she was not stopped by the guards when she came in just now, Concubine Ning looked at Zhu Ying with a little more kindness.

"Pass down the order of the palace, His Majesty needs to rest and not be affected, and visitors can go outside the palace." Concubine Ning ordered.

Liu He bowed and replied, "Follow your mother's order."

Concubine Ning's order surprised Zhu Ying a little.

However, he also felt Concubine Ning's kindness.

"Xiongying, how did you arrange Yunwen's side?" Concubine Ning hesitated a little and asked Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying replied in a strange way: "Yun Wen is my younger brother, so there is no arrangement at all."

Hearing this, Concubine Ning was extremely satisfied.

In her opinion, Zhu Xiongying didn't take action to guard against Zhu Yunqi at this time, obviously he still cared about the brotherhood.

An emperor who cares about his family will make the royal family feel more at ease.

"Mother, Grandpa Huang has passed out."

Zhu Yunwen returned to Chunhe Palace and hurried to the apse to report the news to Mrs. Lu.

Surprised, Mrs. Lu hurriedly asked, "You have gone to see it."

Zhu Yunwen replied: "The child has already been to Qianqing Palace, but the guards blocked the door and did not go in."

Lu said: "Is that what your elder brother meant?"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "That's not true, it's the meaning of Concubine Ning, Grandpa Huang fainted, please don't disturb him."

Mrs. Lu looked outside and asked, "You came all the way back, but there are guards gathering."

Zhu Yunqi looked a little strange when he heard this, and said, "No, mother, what's the matter?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Lu's eyes, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, since His Majesty is not in good health, then you should go and pray for Your Majesty now."

"Until His Majesty wakes up, you are not allowed to leave without authorization."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunqi didn't think too much, and immediately agreed.
