My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 592 Queen Zhang, who supports the overall situation
"When did uncle leave?"

Zhu Zhanhe finally calmed down a little, and then asked Queen Zhang in a sad voice.

"Something happened just after the second watch. Although the imperial doctor arrived in time, there was nothing he could do to save the situation."

When Queen Zhang talked about Zhu Gaochi's death, her expression became a little strange. It seemed that she was not only sad, but also mixed with a bit of anger.

"This is wrong. We were fine during the day. Why did people suddenly disappear at night? How did the uncle pass away?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly thought that Zhu Gaochi had a quarrel with the cabinet during the day and showed no signs of illness.

When Zhu Zhanhe asked about the cause of Zhu Gaochi's death, Queen Zhang's face turned red and she seemed to have some words that were hard to say.

At this time, Xia Yuanji, who was next to him, came to Queen Zhang's rescue and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what the cause of His Majesty's death is, the most important thing now is to deal with His Majesty's funeral. After all, the Crown Prince is far away in Nanjing and cannot come in time, so someone must help preside over it." The overall situation!”

Hearing Xia Yuanji's reminder, Zhu Zhanhe also suddenly woke up. Zhu Gaochi's death was so sudden that no one was prepared. However, Zhu Zhanji also went to Nanjing and could not come back in time to inherit the throne. If something happened, , that would be difficult to deal with.

"Mother, my uncle passed away suddenly. As the queen, you should step in to take charge of the overall situation. At the same time, you should immediately send someone to report to Nanjing and call your eldest brother back to inherit the throne!"

Zhu Zhanhe immediately expressed his opinion.

"Alas, I am a woman, so it is always inconvenient for me to be exposed in public. Your third uncle is too cunning and cunning. I have never been able to trust you, so now the only one I can trust is you, Zhan He!"

When Queen Zhang said this, she wiped away tears again.

Her husband died suddenly, the eldest son she relied on the most was absent, and Zhu Gaosui's brother-in-law was an ambitious guy, so Empress Zhang was in a difficult situation now. If she could win Zhu Zhanhe's support, things would be much easier to handle. After all, Zhu Zhanhe's influence in the court was even stronger than Zhu Zhanji.

"Please rest assured, auntie, my nephew will do his best to help you stabilize the situation in the DPRK!"

Zhu Zhanhe once again assured that the previous contradictions were contradictions, but in the face of the overall situation at hand, that contradiction was not important at all.

"Okay! Zhanhe, you are indeed a reliable person. No wonder Grandpa Qinhuang and your uncle often praised you back then!"

When Queen Zhang heard Zhu Zhanhe's words, she immediately put away her tears, straightened her waist and praised him.

When saying these words, Queen Zhang also swept away her previous weak look, and instead showed an aura of calmness and authority.

At this moment, Zhu Zhanhe also suddenly realized that his aunt was really a powerful person. She showed weakness to him just now, and I am afraid she wanted to test his attitude more.

"Zhan He, the most important thing now is to mobilize the army to protect the capital and prevent anyone from causing trouble during this period. The British Duke and Cheng Guogong are the leaders of the generals in the army. As a woman, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress these arrogant people. Soldier, you are good friends with the two national ministers. If you can come forward in person, you will definitely make them obey the imperial court's orders and not have two minds!"

When Queen Zhang talked about mobilizing the army, her face was very serious.

At this critical moment, the attitude of the army is very important, and even determines the change of the throne.

"Nephew obeys!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded in agreement and glanced at Queen Zhang again.

Now he finally understood why Queen Zhang summoned him to the palace. She was a womanly woman and had little control over the army. However, Zhu Zhanhe was very close to Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong. If Zhu Zhanhe took the opportunity to do something, I'm afraid The consequences are unpredictable.But if Zhu Zhanhe is brought to her side, Empress Zhang will be much less worried.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanhe had no intention of staying in the Ming Dynasty, and he had no idea about the throne of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, if it were another person, he might really take this opportunity to gamble.

With Zhu Zhanhe's support, Queen Zhang immediately issued an order to summon Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong to the palace, as well as Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao, Yangwu Marquis Xue Lu and others, all of whom were Zhu Di's old subordinates. He is loyal, and at the same time, he can check each other with Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong, so that all military power will not be concentrated in one hand.

After a while, Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong and others also hurried to the palace. When they learned the news of Zhu Gaochi's death, they were also shocked.

Empress Zhang then issued an order for Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong, Chen Mao and Xue Lu to lead troops respectively to guard the four sides of the capital.

Zhu Zhanhe also came forward in person and asked Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong to fulfill their duties, so the four of them immediately took the order and left.

Finally, Empress Zhang sent her confidant eunuch Wang Gui to lead an army to Prince Zhao's Mansion and put Zhu Gaosui and his son under house arrest to prevent Zhu Gaosui and his son from causing rebellion at this critical moment.

I have to say that Queen Zhang is a very powerful woman, at least she can support the overall situation at critical moments, but she is also a miserable person. In history, she gave away her husband and her son Zhu Zhanji. It was also in Under her auspices, Zhu Qizhen, the "Emperor of the Clan" in history, could ascend the throne as emperor.

After the troops were dispatched, the situation in the capital was finally stabilized. Even if someone took the opportunity to cause trouble, they had to go through the military test first. Now they only need to wait for Zhu Zhanji to return from Nanjing and then successfully ascend the throne.

But Zhu Zhanhe still had to do one thing now, and that was to figure out the cause of Zhu Gaochi's death. Because Zhu Gaochi's death was so sudden, he always felt it was a bit unusual.

So Zhu Zhanhe stood up and said, "Mother, how did my uncle die?"

"This……"

Queen Zhang was still a little hesitant, as if she didn't know how to answer?

At this time, Jian Yi suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, His Majesty's body is still in the palace for the time being, and the imperial doctors who treated him are also waiting in the palace. If you have any questions, you can ask these imperial doctors!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Zhanhe agreed and immediately walked to the back bedroom.

When he saw Zhu Gaochi's body, he was lying on the bed with a ferocious expression. It seemed that he was in great pain before death?His face was not the grayish white of a dead person, but rather dark red, which looked very abnormal.

This made Zhu Zhanhe's heart sink. Zhu Gaochi's appearance at this time did not look like a normal death, but rather like poisoning.

However, nothing could be seen just by looking at the body, so Zhu Zhanhe walked to a side hall next to him, where several imperial doctors were under house arrest. Because the news of Zhu Gaochi's death had been blocked, where were these imperial doctors now? Can't go either.

"See you son!"

When the leader Wang Yuyi saw Zhu Zhanhe, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"Physician Wang, how did my uncle pass away?"

Zhu Zhanhe knew this imperial physician Wang. When Zhu Di fell ill on the grassland, this imperial physician was also the one who treated him.
