Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 678
Longwu's 16 years have passed like this.In a blink of an eye, the first month came out, and spring came. When people went out for an outing, Zhu Cihong fell ill.

Years of exhaustion and worries about the future finally got the better of him.In fact, Zuo Fu knew that there was something wrong with his stomach, but he didn't want Zuo Fu to know.If he doesn't mention it, it's hard for Zuo Fu to say it, otherwise who will pass the news to her in the future?
He obviously didn't want himself to know, and if he mentioned it, it would be obvious that he had ulterior motives.In the past few years, the intervals between the ceremonies have become longer and longer, and he himself has become thinner and dizzy. When Zuo Fu, who was confinement, went to participate in the ceremonies on New Year's Eve, he noticed Zhu Cihong's mental state very bad.

Despite his best efforts to appear healthy, Zoff still noticed something strange in him.But he obviously had his own thoughts, and tried to block the news of his physical discomfort, so it was hard to say who he was guarding against, or he was simply afraid of causing chaos in the court.

But right now, I can't pretend anymore. Not to mention the cancellation of today's court, it didn't take long for the news that the emperor was seriously ill.

Zuo Fu was quickly summoned into the palace, together with several director-level doctors and head nurses of Jinling Hospital.

Moreover, the people who came to pass the decree made it clear that they were required to bring various testing tools.This information revealed something extraordinary, Zuo Fu was not notified until this time, obviously the imperial doctor in the palace was at his wit's end, and the news could not be kept secret.

Zuo Fu soon brought various portable testing instruments into the palace.When she rushed to Qianqing Palace, she was shocked when she saw Zhu Cihong.

She has not seen Zhu Cihong since that day at Zhengdan.Because according to the current rules, the court will not open the early court until after Zhengdan.But after Zhengdan, Zhu Cihong hadn't opened the morning court, so she saw Zhu Cihong for the first time this year.

What she didn't expect was that in just a month, Zhu Cihong turned out to be dying.He was leaning on the soft pillow, sweating all over his head, Zuo Fu noticed with sharp eyes that there were painkillers on the desk beside him.

As for the painkillers?Naturally, it was issued by Jinling Hospital.As the emperor, he still has many ways to prescribe painkillers without letting the outside world do it.After all, it is also possible to appoint a courtier to do this matter.

Zuo Fu stepped forward to salute, Zhu Cihong's face was pale, and his head was covered with sweat. Seeing Zuo Fu coming in, he said, "Ai Qing, I'm afraid I can't make it through. I didn't dare to tell you before, because I was afraid that the news would spread and the Tartars would rise again." What's on your mind...I called you here today, and it's not for seeing a doctor..."

He said it very hard, "I just want you to relieve my pain a little. I often felt stomach discomfort many years ago. After some treatment by the imperial doctor, it was better. It's just that since last year, the frequency of pain has increased, and the pain Irregularity, diagnosed by the imperial doctor, what I suffer from should be a nasty epigastric disease, a disease that has no cure... I call you here today, other than wanting you to relieve my, my pain..."

He struggled to sit up, "I still have something to say."

"Your Majesty doesn't trust the minister?!"

Zuo Fu stepped forward, "Why didn't you tell me until now?! Even if it's really a stomach ailment, it will be better if you perform the operation early! Your Majesty, let me check it for you first!"

"No, I have to say these words first."

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, motioning others to go down.

Soon, only Zuo Fu and Zhu Cihong were left in the hall.After everyone had left, Zuo Fu also took off that disguised face, she looked at Zhu Cihong coldly, and said: "I'm not feeling well, but I kept hiding it from me, elder brother really doesn't believe me anymore."

Zhu Cihong sighed softly, "Fu'er, I haven't heard this brother for many years."

He paused and said again: "Do you know that I have never suspected that you want to rob me of my country. What I am afraid of is your ability. Those materials that have never been traced to the source, those elusive methods... the Zuo family The soldiers of the army regard you as a god, and the common people regard you as a Bodhisattva, you can be loyal to Daming and me, but can you guarantee the people below?"

"Is that why you suspect me?"

Zuo Fu sneered, "In the past, my father sold his property to avenge the late emperor. But you, in order to split up my Zuo family, let the old man get stabbed in vain. You are the emperor, and your suspicion will kill you !"

Recalling the past, Zuo Fu's eyes were full of anger, "If I want to rebel against you, why should I sacrifice my life for you? How can I rebel after accepting all these blessings? If I can't even control the people under me, Even sitting on this dragon chair is just a puppet, do you think I'm that stupid?"

Zhu Cihong opened his mouth, recalling what he had done before, he couldn't help but smile wryly, "Yes, I was wrong..."

"I know that too many people failed you and the late emperor, but you only see those who failed your Zhu family, but you didn't see many people who died for your Zhu family! How many officials were there when the Northern Land fell? Martyrdom?!

Did you not see these?In order to guard against me, you summoned me when you were so ill. I don't even know, what is your purpose in summoning me at this time?You are terminally ill, even if I have great abilities, how can I save you?I'm not a fairy, I can't be cured of any disease! "

"You have resentment in your heart, I know, I am sorry for you."

Tears flashed faintly in Zhu Cihong's eyes, "But Fu'er, do you know? My heart is also very painful for you. From the moment I met you, I have always loved you. I thought the world was over. I don't have a relationship with me, I really wanted to go overseas with you, ignore the disputes in this world, and grow old hand in hand with you... But, I didn't expect that Hongguang would not even resist, and I didn't know that the Qing army came so quickly..."

"So you immediately sealed me as the county lord, which seems to be an honor, but actually cut off my way to enter the palace."

Zuo Fu's face was cold, "You don't have to blame yourself, it's not Mingjun who loves beautiful people more than Jiangshan. I am also very grateful to you, for not letting me into the palace, I am not a person who can stand the palace rules."

"Fur!"

He suddenly grabbed her hand, "You, do you really have no feelings for me at all?"

Zuo Fu looked at him, silent for a long time, then slowly let go of his hand, lowered his head and said: "How can we be ruthless if we are in trouble together? Even if it is not the relationship between a man and a woman, it is also other feelings. It's just a pity..."

She raised her head, with sarcasm on her lips, "Your Majesty did not choose to believe me."

Zhu Cihong lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "In the past, before you went to Qiongzhou, I hinted that you don't want to marry, and you told me that the king treats his ministers like siblings...Actually, you want to say that if I treat you as worthless, You will also regard me as an enemy, right?"

"Your Majesty, you should know that human hearts are made of flesh."

Zuo Fu said indifferently: "Even if Taizu erased this sentence from the world, the truth will not change. The Son of Heaven is true, but the Son of Heaven is still a human being, just like a minister."

"You despise imperial power and only have justice in your eyes. How can I not be afraid of you? Where did you come from? Who are you? Where did those things come from?"

"I said those things were given by the gods in the sky, do you believe it?"

Zuo Fu laughed at himself, "Your Majesty, is it meaningful to ask these questions?"

Zhu Cihong was silent.

After a long time, he said softly: "Prince, what do you think?"

"The prince is diligent and studious, kind and generous, and has the image of a wise king."

Zhu Cihong closed her eyes, and after a while, she nodded lightly, "I see."

After being silent for a while, he gathered up some strength and said: "How long can the Zhu family's country last? How long can Aiqing protect my country?"

"As long as I am alive, I will try my best to assist you, whether it is you or the prince."

Zuo Fu said: "Your Majesty can rest assured that your descendants will not do what Cao Wei did."

"I... still can't see through you."

Zhu Cihong laughed at himself, "It just suddenly occurred to me recently that you once said at Jiangdong Gate that the injustice of the world led to tragedies, and the division of ranks and grades divided the world. If these things are not removed, the world will be divided forever. It fits well...so..."

He looked at Zuo Fu, "Do you want equality for everyone?"

"People can never be equal."

Zuofu said: "Classes will not really disappear, but we can try to be as fair as possible through the law, and try to protect the interests of the majority. An official and a citizen, they will be punished for breaking the law. An official will not be punished just because he is an official. The punishment is lighter, and similarly, the punishment for civilians will not be heavier just because they are civilians.

Don't you understand?What I want is before the law, everyone is equal! !What I want is that everyone has food to eat and everyone has books to read! "

"Including royal children?"

"Yes!"

Zuo Fu responded sonorously: "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people! Your Majesty, you should have heard this sentence a long time ago! But it is meaningless to say it like this. If there is a law that is not followed, the law is empty! This is why the ministers of the past The reason why the country must be blamed!
The people's hearts need to be united, the Zhu family has produced too many bastard emperors, and the hearts of the people have been completely chilled!After you came to the throne, you defeated the Qing soldiers and clarified the government. In the hearts of the people, you are their new hope!If the minister is selfish in law enforcement that day, what will the people think of you?Treat the court?Your Majesty, why don't you always understand?In this world, the real reliable people are the common people, not your ministers! "

Zhu Cihong was very shocked!
He had noticed Zuo Fu's thoughts before, but after she said it out of her mouth today, he was still shocked!
For the sake of fairness, everyone can sacrifice, including the emperor and herself!
Thinking of what she said in court in the past, he couldn't help laughing.

How ridiculous are you?

Does the sparrow know the ambition of the swan? !

What she wants is the Datong of the sage, but what he wants is the world of the Zhu family!
This is the source of the contradiction!

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, she is still willing to keep Yong'er.

Either way!

There is no dynasty in this world that never disappears. If Da Ming can continue in his hands for decades, or even a hundred years, he should be content...

He looked at the person in front of him and saw a few white strands on her head. Thinking of the time he spent with her when he was young, his eyes couldn't help getting moist.

He hated those civil servants himself, but after accepting their teachings, he finally adopted their method and used the emperor's mind technique on the person in front of him who had treated her sincerely.If not, maybe they will become a couple and have several children...

If she became a queen, as long as she didn't say anything, wouldn't she be able to help herself?I am so ridiculous!Taking history as a mirror, I learned it for a long time, but it was all wrong!Fu'er is not Wu Yan, nor Lu Zhi, her heart is very soft...

How could she learn from Wu Yan and kill her own children to gain power?
If it wasn't his wrong choice, they should be very happy, right?
perhaps……

I wouldn't be so sick...

Thinking of this, he raised his hand laboriously, wanting to caress her face again, but following her sideways head, he knew that this moment would never be possible.

Tears dripped down the corners of his eyes, and he tremblingly said: "You really hate me so much?"

"I don't hate you."

Zuo Fu lowered his eyes, with tears in his eyes, "I've said it before, how can people who are in trouble have no feelings? How can they be indifferent? It's just brother, some things have passed... there is no turning back, I have already Married..."

The sentence "I'm already married" made Zhu Cihong burst into tears, he gritted his teeth and struggled to sit up straight, grabbed Zuo Fu's hand, and said: "The person I am full of is you, and other women are your substitutes Good! Didn’t you notice? In my harem, every woman is more or less like you, or her nose, or her eyes... Don’t you feel my love for you at all? Why? Why? ?! Why did you choose that prodigal son and ignore me?!"

"Your Majesty ignores me first, doesn't you?"

Zuo Fu shook off his hand, "Why do you want to marry the empress? Why do you only want me to be an outcast? Ha! Your Majesty, you are still too selfish! This is why I chose Sun Xuntang!"

Zhu Cihong suffocated for breath, she said it without showing any empathy.

He fell down softly and remained silent for a long time before saying: "Yes, I'm too selfish..."

He let out a long breath and wiped away his tears, "My prince will be entrusted to you."

He took out a bamboo tube from under the pillow, handed it to Zuo Fu and said, "The queen is restless, I'm afraid that if I go, she will take your Zuo family under the knife. , let her be buried."

Zuo Fu's heart trembled, and he raised his head to look at Zhu Cihong, "Why do you say such depressing words? Maybe you can't be optimistic."

Seeing that Zuo Fu's eyes were tear-stained and his eyes were a little red, Zhu Cihong smiled.

"Fur, you still care a little bit about me..."

He smiled and burst into tears again, "This life is impossible... In the next life, in the next life, I only hope that I will not be born in this troubled world, let alone in the royal family... In the next life, if I can meet you again, I just want to be Zhu Cihong, marry a woman named Zuo Fu, and have a few children, I teach for a living, you become a doctor... raise the children together, and grow old together..."

He murmured, and soon, the pain in his stomach made him curl up, Zuo Fu wanted to step up to check, he waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, in fact, there is no medicine for me, and it will be easy to criticize if you take over at this time ...I will go out later and tell the doctors in Jinling Hospital that there is no cure for me... If you still treat me as your elder brother, then prescribe some medicine for me and let me go away comfortably..."
