Daming: From the end of Hongwu

201 Chapter 199 - Sick
Zhu Yuanzhang is a very smart person, so smart that no one can be substituted for him, because his start is worse than everyone else, but his achievements are higher than everyone else.

Facing him, no one can find excuses such as poor background.

He is such a smart person, every action of his naturally has a deep meaning, for example, he has never killed the Lord of Heroes indiscriminately, and he has weighed in his mind for a long time who he will not kill.

Generals such as Xu, Li, Mu, and Tang kept his basic positions in the army very well. Even the basic positions of Prince Zhu Biao, Chang Lan's line did not do anything.

He just did what most founding emperors would do, and also abolished the power of prime minister along the way. From this point of view, his methods are very beautiful.

But this is not without consequences. The most obvious point is that he needs to be kind to the generals in his basic board, especially the middle and high-level generals.

And Yuan Hong is one of them.

Yuan Hong was a hero in the founding of the country, and now he has been appointed as the governor of the left. The eldest son is the commander of the right guard. The eldest daughter and the second daughter married. Not yet available.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang summoned him a few days ago, he revealed in his words that he wanted to name a princess as his wife to his second son Yuan Rong. Yuan Hong lay on the rocking chair, thinking carefully which princess it would be.

After much calculation, Yuan Hong decided on Zhu Yuying, the eldest daughter of King Yan.

Thinking about Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's appearance, Yuan Hong nodded secretly, guessing that Zhu Yuying's appearance must be not bad, and in this way, he also had more contacts with the Xu family. Based on this calculation, this marriage is really a good one.

The more he thought about Yuan Hong, the more satisfied he was.

At this time, the servants came to report that the father-in-law from the palace had arrived. After a brief interview, he knew that the emperor had summoned him, so Yuan Hong hurriedly cleaned up and followed the father-in-law towards the palace.

On the way, Yuan Hong took out some broken silver and stuffed it in the father-in-law's hand.

The father-in-law took the money without any trace, and then smiled knowingly: "The emperor is in a good mood today, so maybe I have to congratulate my lord."

Congratulations?

Yuan Hong thought to himself, what else can his family congratulate now, but he figured it out in the next moment, the second son's marriage must be settled.

For a moment, there was a smile on Yuan Hong's eyebrows and eyes.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the memorial. Many days had passed since the last time he reprimanded Zhu Biao. Today, the memorial from the Chief Secretary of Beiping was delivered. Beiping is an important border defense town. Normally, he would check the memorial as soon as it came.

But looking at it, he frowned.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand, searched on the case again, and found Zhu Di's memorial.

Open it up.

You read that right.

Zhu Di really proposed marriage to his daughter.

"what."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say, I just thought about my granddaughter's marriage a few days ago, and he thought about it in a blink of an eye, who gave him the courage, he is a vassal king, he doesn't do business, why do he think about it?Is it useful for him to use this marriage? !

Looking for a draw?

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to dismiss it, but his eyes fell on the word Zhenwu. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a little familiar. He waved and ordered the left and right to call Jiang Yu over.

After a while, Jiang Yu came in a hurry.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know the Qianhu Zhenwu in the King Yan's guard?"

Jiang Yu thought there was some important matter, and he was thinking about it, but he didn't expect to just ask someone. It just so happened that he had mentioned Zhen Wu in the letter he received from Beiping's dark disk a few days ago, so he went to find out.

"Your Majesty, there is something about this Zhen Wu, and I plan to report it to Your Majesty. I was ordered to arrest some criminals in the Qin Palace. One of them fled to Beiping, but we haven't had time to arrest him, but we don't know why this person provoked this Zhen Wu has already been killed by this Zhen Wu, it is reported that this person should offer a reward to Zhen Wu in Jianghu, but there is no definite information yet."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "What about the others?"

others?
Jiang Yu thought briefly, then spoke.

"I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers what happened in Liaodong at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. This Zhen Wu was the one who killed the commander of Tieling Guard Zhang Quan and the son of Aza Shili in Taining Guard last year."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, suddenly realized, and murmured: "No wonder it sounds so familiar, it turned out to be him, but he is a courageous person."

He still remembers what happened last year.

Zhu Di had reported to him in detail, among which he praised Zhen Wu a lot.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu also said along the way: "It is indeed very courageous. Liu Yi, who is in charge of Beiping's secret disk, has mentioned this person many times, saying that this person is not only loyal and brave, but also extremely intelligent."

As a close minister of Zhu Yuanzhang, he secretly probed, praised a person or slandered a person, and he had to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's will.

Just now when Zhu Yuanzhang talked about Zhen Wu, he was full of dissatisfaction when talking about it. He said that Liu Yi had sent letters many times, saying that Zhen Wu had many domineering actions.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not in the mood to listen to Jiang Yu's words, so he waved his hand and let Jiang Yu back down.

He looked down at Zhu Di's memorial again.

He somewhat understood Zhu Di's thoughts, but after thinking quietly for a while, he still felt that there was no need for such a small family to win over.

Going back to get promoted and give some gifts, it is enough for Zhen Wu to be grateful.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to reject the memorial, but just as he picked up the pen, he heard a report from someone outside the door that Yuan Hong had come.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the pen he had just picked up again, intending to let Yuan Hong come in for a chat. An eunuch hurried over with a flustered expression on his face.

"His Royal Highness, Dong... East Palace has just received news that the prince... the prince is critically ill."

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled and shivered immediately, but the next moment, his cold eyes were fixed on the eunuch, making the eunuch feel like he was in an ice cave.

Zhu Yuanzhang stabilized his mind.

"Dog thing, dare to curse the prince, what is your intention, come and pull us down and beat us hard."

Left and right came out quickly, dragging the frightened eunuch down.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about other things any more, and got up from the chair directly, but he couldn't stand firmly for a while, and his body couldn't help shaking a little. He took a deep breath.

"Come here, drive the East Palace."

……

In the East Palace, in Zhu Biao's dormitory, Zhu Yunwen, who was only 14 years old, was waiting on the sidelines under the guidance of his mother, Lu Shi, with red eye circles, as if he was particularly sad because of Zhu Biao's illness.

After Zhu Yuanzhang came over, he was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, thinking that he had not helped the Lu family in vain, and then waved the two of them back.

He went straight to the bed and sat down, looking at the pale Zhu Biao, who was obviously seriously ill, surprised and distressed, he didn't understand why he suddenly became so seriously ill.

Thinking of the last quarrel, Zhu Yuanzhang felt mixed feelings for a while.

He still remembered that he was attacking Jiqing that year, and when the battle was in full swing, he heard the joy and excitement of having a son, but he didn't expect that so many years had passed in a blink of an eye.

Over the years, the two had different political opinions, and it was inevitable that they would argue, but only he knew how much he valued his son, and every time he argued, he just wanted to make this son better.

It's just that things backfired, and Zhu Biao, who was taught by the sour Confucianism, could no longer change his somewhat frail and charitable temperament.

"Father is not going to kill him." Zhu Yuanzhang said softly, "Let King Qin go back later."

He didn't know how to express his father's love, but Zhu Biao knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's actions contained a strong father-son affection for him.

Zhu Biao wanted to say something excitedly, but was stopped directly by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Zhu Biao still shook his head and said: "My son and minister are not filial, causing my father to worry, but the imperial physician has already said it's okay, but Mrs. Lu and the others make a fuss out of a molehill, and they are bothering my father."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

Zhu Biao smiled, and just about to say something else, he coughed again. Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and called the imperial doctor outside repeatedly.

The imperial physician who had been waiting outside heard this and hurried in for diagnosis and treatment.

It was busy again.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao's sleepiness, said a few words of relief, let him rest and then withdrew, and then summoned the imperial physician to inquire about his condition.

The imperial physician did not dare to say that he was dead, but only said that he had stabilized for the time being, but his condition was still dangerous. Zhu Yuanzhang was so irritable that he was not even in the mood to threaten, so he dismissed the imperial physician, and then he sat in the side room of Zhu Biao's dormitory for a long time, restless.

He blamed himself a little and wondered if it was because he forced Zhu Biao too hard last time.

At night, Zhu Biao's condition seemed to have really stabilized, and it was not as serious as it seemed during the day.

After a few more days like this, Zhu Biao was so good that he could work remotely.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang breathe a sigh of relief.

The Ming Empire he established.

He hoped that the eldest son would inherit it for a hundred generations, and if he couldn't do it for the second generation, something would go wrong.

All his life, he was a great talent, with countless merits and demerits, and now he is short of a qualified successor to inherit his legacy.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been busy, slowed down the pace of life for Zhu Biao, put down all the less important political affairs, and only waited for Zhu Biao's complete recovery.
