Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 629 Tuogu
Inside the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Houzhao asked Chen Ce to help him greet the six ministries outside, and he came into the hall alone.

Emperor Hongzhi lay dying on the bed. When he saw Zhu Houzhao coming, he opened his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "My son, you must be very busy."

Zhu Houzhao held the hand of Emperor Hongzhi tightly and sobbed, "Father, I am not busy. Chen Ce is here and he is helping me."

"Dad, my son's baby is about to be born. You have to see him. You have to see him!"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Well, wait until Dad sees his grandson before you leave. Don't cry, my son."

He stretched out his hand, wiped Zhu Houzhao's tears, and said: "You will be an adult from now on. The family, the country and the world will depend on you. Why are you crying?"

"Your parents will eventually leave you, and you will have to face everything on your own. Good child, be strong and don't cry!"

……

Outside the Fengtian Hall, Fei Hong and other high-ranking officials from the six ministries of the cabinet hurried over. Seeing Chen Ce standing at the entrance of the hall, Fei Hong anxiously asked, "Chun Jian, what happened?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "The prince is in there with the emperor. We don't know what the situation is yet, but it should be soon."

Everyone looked unhappy.

Chen Ce continued, "The prince asked me to handle the affairs outside, and I was too arrogant today."

"Master Ma, go and prepare all the funeral ceremonies."

After Ma Wensheng entered the Ministry of Rites, these matters should be handled by him. Ma Wensheng is no longer concerned about whether Chen Ce can give him orders. After all, at this time, he does not want to cause trouble. Moreover, Chen Ce's relationship with the royal family is there, so it is natural for him to handle these matters.

"Okay! I'll get ready right away."

Chen Ce said to Zhang Wen, the Minister of War, "Sir Zhang, the emperor's time is coming. When the power is transferred, it is imperative to ensure the safety of the palace. All soldiers in the palace should be on martial law and no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace at will."

"it is good!"

Chen Ce said to Zhang Mao, "Old Duke, transfer the Five Military Command to the capital, and have the Five Cities Military Command patrol as soon as possible. The entire capital will be under martial law."

"Okay!" Zhang Mao nodded sadly.

After giving all the instructions, Chen Ce took Fei Hong and the others to wait quietly for news outside the Fengtian Palace.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi might summon them to entrust his son to his care at any time.

Empress Zhang came out of Kunning Palace, followed by the Zhang brothers. Chen Ce and others paid homage to Empress Zhang. Empress Zhang nodded, then entered Fengtian Hall with a sad face.

The Zhang brothers also looked unhappy, and they followed Chen Ce and the others and stood obediently outside the Fengtian Hall.

……

"Yan'er."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Empress Zhang, who hurriedly sat at the head of the bed and held Emperor Hongzhi's hand, "Your Majesty, I'm here."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "I have been busy with government affairs all my life and rarely cared about the queen. I am sorry for you."

Empress Zhang shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. You are very good, very good. You are a good emperor and a good husband."

These words came from Empress Zhang's heart. She felt that she was lucky, luckier than anyone else.

At least in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, there was no queen more fortunate than her.

Emperor Hongzhi was very loving and kind to me all his life. He never married another woman, nor did he have any other affairs outside. He was very tolerant of me and the Zhang family.

Looking at the emperors in the history of the Ming Dynasty, is there anyone better than Emperor Hongzhi?

"After I am gone, you must take good care of Houzhao until he grows up." Empress Zhang nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Houzhao."

"You have to hold on, your grandson is about to be born, you have to see him one last time no matter what!"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "I hope so. Please go to the back hall and wait for a while."

"Huang'er, go and call Chun Jian in."

"it is good!"

Zhu Houzhao came outside the Fengtian Palace, looked at the old ministers who were worried, and said to Chen Ce: "Marquis Tai'an, the emperor is calling you."

He wanted to push Chen Ce's wheelchair, but Chen Ce glared at him back.

Zhang Heling was quick-witted and quickly pushed Chen Ce towards the Fengtian Hall.

When Chen Ce came to the bedside of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhang Heling consciously wanted to leave. Emperor Hongzhi said, "Don't leave. Just stand by the side."

Zhang Heling: "Oh."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chen Ce and sighed, "Chun Jian! You have been holding your breath for much longer than I have."

Chen Ce smiled bitterly and quickly said that he didn't dare.

Emperor Hongzhi continued, "I hope you can hold on to this breath and see with your own eyes the prosperous country under Houzhao's rule. I don't have this opportunity."

"Chun Jian, the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are now peaceful, and the troubles in the northern border have been resolved. There is almost no crisis in the Ming Dynasty."

"I said before that I would leave a prosperous country for the Crown Prince, and I did it. Of course, all this is thanks to you, Chunjian."

"I can no longer reward you..."

Chen Ce shook his head and said sadly: "I don't want any reward. No matter how many honors I get, they will only be a pipe dream in the end."

When a person is about to die, he can take everything lightly.

"My Ming Dynasty is now exceptionally powerful because of you."

"Your arrival is like a guiding light for me, a guiding light for the Ming Dynasty, bringing the Ming Dynasty to a height that I myself cannot reach."

Chen Ce sighed slightly in his heart. It all seemed like a dream. In seven years, so many things had been accomplished. Chen Ce found it a little unbelievable.

He told Zhu Houzhao that he would tell him the secret of his time travel before he left...

Chen Ce shook his head and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "If it weren't for the emperor's strong support, Chun Jian would not be able to implement any more ideas and strategies."

"The Ming Dynasty has reached its current height because of the wise ruler, Your Majesty."

"These are all the credit of the emperor. If the emperor had not had the courage to break through all obstacles and help Chun Jian realize all his ambitions, how could the Ming Dynasty have come to this point?"

Chen Ce did not brag about Emperor Hongzhi. Without the decision of Emperor Hongzhi, Chen Ce would not be able to perform many things. A famous minister is important, but if there is no wise monarch, even if the ministers have many abilities, they may not be able to display them.

Emperor Hongzhi was an ambitious and courageous emperor. Although he was not like this before, he is now!
He helped Chen Ce eliminate many obstacles, and because of this, many of Chen Ce's policies could be implemented smoothly.

If Emperor Hongzhi was a good emperor and a benevolent emperor before, then now he is a great emperor with courage!
Because of the existence of this emperor, the Ming Dynasty is destined to leave the most brilliant page in history books!

East Palace.

Liu Jin was waiting here anxiously, and suddenly heard the crying of a baby in the room. Liu Jin was stunned for a moment!
