Zhu Biao nodded clearly and reached out to touch the head of the fifth child, Zhu Xi. Unknowingly, the fifth child was already eleven years old. It was supposed to be time for the king's title to be chosen for the canonization ceremony. It was really fast.
"I heard from the doctor at the Imperial Hospital that you have been asking a lot about medical classics recently, but are you interested in this?"
Zhu Biao rarely did anything excessive after he was banned from the East Palace. However, after all, there were two pregnant women in the East Palace. Naturally, the imperial physician had to come every day to ask for pulses and stabilize the fetus. He would sometimes accompany them. I heard the imperial physician talk about this matter.
It was obviously the first time for the other princes to hear it, and they couldn't help but cast curious glances at it. The eyes of the fourth prince, Zhu Di, were a little worried. Zhu Di was his biological brother from the same mother, and good medicine was rare in ordinary people. It's not a bad thing, but it's not right in Tianjia.
The future Prince of the Ming Dynasty, a dignified prince, according to the expectations of his father, will be responsible for guarding the vassal territory, protecting the territory and the people, and resisting foreigners. Studying medicine cannot shoulder the important task of guarding the country and ensuring the people's safety. What will happen if he offends his father? good.
Zhu Rui also turned pale with fright. After his serious illness last year, he found that the Four Books and Five Classics were useless. Instead, he became interested in medical classics. He often went to Tai Hospital after class to identify medicinal materials, but he never thought Let brother father know.
"Brother, I just went to have a look and didn't delay my homework..."
Zhu Biao smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I didn't say you were wrong. The nine sons of Longsheng are all different. We can't all brothers be carved out of the same mold. Come and tell me why you suddenly like me." Medical skills."
Zhu Biao called his younger brothers to sit down. The main hall of Kunning Palace was very majestic. It was the place where the queen summoned her concubines, and it was even bigger than Zhu Biao's Chengqian Palace.
Since it was his mother's palace, Zhu Biao didn't sit down at all. He just found a place to sit down, and the other brothers followed suit. Anyway, his mother and concubines would have to give up their seats when they came back soon.
Zhu Biao still has a lot of credibility in front of his younger brothers. After listening to his eldest brother's comfort, Zhu Biao calmed down and slowly told about his experience when he was ill last year.
In fact, there is nothing special about it, but Zhu Biao still listened very seriously. Lao Wu was smart, eager to learn, respectful to his elder brothers, and considerate of his brothers. According to Lao Zhu's words, he looked like Biao'er when he was a child. Empress Ma also loved him very much.
Once when I was chatting with my father, my father once said that he intended to make Lao Wu King of Wu. If we go by the traditions of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the King of Wu should not be compared with Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu. , not even comparable to Lu, Zhao, Wei, Liang, and Yan, that is, more noble than the two-character prince.
But I couldn't bear it. This was the king's title before Lao Zhu became emperor, so it was naturally extremely special in this dynasty. Lao Zhu also knew it in his heart, so it has not been determined yet. After all, it is easy for the people of the world to speculate.
Zhu Biao himself didn't care. It would be a joke to be afraid of his younger brother at this point. But he also had to consider the mood of his subordinates. After all, once King Wu came out, no matter whether the prince could pose a threat to the crown prince's position, they would They will try their best to attack just in case.
And another point is the issue of King Wu's fiefdom. How could the Jiangnan court, which was heavily taxed, be conferred to the vassal king and become a vassal? It would be better to give him the position of prince.
However, if Lao Wu wants to become a doctor, there is a way to solve it. When Lao Zhu decided that the vassal king would erect a vassal screen to protect the country, the royal family still had few heirs. Now it seems that there are too many princes, and I am afraid that the world will Not enough points.
Zhu Biao took the tea handed to him by the palace maid and took a sip. Then he looked at Zhu Ji and said, "Since you often go to the imperial hospital, you should have seen the imperial doctors compiling a medical canon."
Zhu Rui's eyes lit up and he said: "I saw it. I heard it was compiled by the Grand Doctor of the Earth, and many famous doctors from the state were also involved. The medicinal materials flowing in from all over the world have accumulated in three warehouses."
Studying medicine cannot cure the world's diseases, but it can still relieve the suffering of the world. Zhu Biao naturally also strongly supports medicine: "The ceremony must strive for excellence. After all, it is to be circulated around the world. Doctors can help the people, but I am afraid it will take several years to complete the ceremony." For a long time, the Taiyuan Hospital is now urgently compiling flora mainly for famine relief and methods for alleviating disasters and epidemics. In case of famine, you can find it according to the picture. It is available everywhere. , can survive.”
The younger ones, such as Wen Tianshu, said that for these children who grew up in the palace and never left the inner courtyard of the palace, famine and epidemic were too far away, so it was not surprising that they would not eat minced meat, and it was not their fault.
The older children, the second child and the fourth child, all had to go through disaster relief with the resettlement, so they naturally knew how miserable famine and epidemics would be. As for the fifth child, this child was born with a compassionate heart that could think of others. The second child, fourth child, and fifth child stood at He stood up and said, "Brother is benevolent and compassionate, and I will bow to you."
The younger ones who took the lead naturally followed. Zhu Biao waved his hand for them to sit down. He didn’t know the virtues of the second and fourth sons yet. Having experienced hardships and misfortune, it didn’t mean that they could take part in it. The two of them were young. He joined the army and followed Xu Da in his crusade against Wang Baobao. After experiencing battles and killings, his heart had long been hardened.
"Lao Wu, if you really have this intention, I will ask my father's will tomorrow to let you take charge of this matter. The herbal medicine for famine relief or the medical ceremony are all good deeds that are expected to be famous throughout the ages. It is indeed my Zhu family who should take the lead."
Zhu Xi was overjoyed at first and then lowered his head and refused: "Thank you for your love, brother, but I have little talent and knowledge. I haven't read a few medical books and have never treated patients. How dare you take on such an important task? If you delay the important matter, you can't tell your father." Brother Huang will explain."
Although he is not very young, he is indeed precocious, or in other words, most children of this era are like this. They start a family early and start a career early. At this age, in the county and township, they are about to marry a wife.
The second child hurriedly stood up and said: "Brother, I will go and do my best. If I don't compile the medical book, I won't even leave the hospital!"
Zhu Di on the side couldn't help rolling his eyes. He also wanted to steal his younger brother's errands. The second brother was really not embarrassed enough. The sixth and seventh children were also eight or nine years old. Although they were not too sensible, they could still tell that their second brother was The image was so ugly that I couldn't help but feel disgusted. Among the brothers, the second brother was the least presentable. No wonder the mother-in-law warned him not to play with him.
Zhu Biaoli ignored him and continued to talk to Lao Wu: "Mr. Zhang told me that you are very smart and can draw inferences from one case to another. After receiving the errand, you just need to follow and learn from it. And you are also a consul with a reputation. There are so many imperial doctors." What are you afraid of?"
While they were talking, a strong wind of fragrance came over them. All the brothers stood up and stood up. The concubines and concubines of the harem headed by Queen Ma walked in with several princesses. Each of them had their own unique fragrance filling the palace.
"My sons and ministers are waiting to greet my mother, and she will be blessed forever!"
Zhu Biao stepped forward to pay homage, while Empress Ma stood with a smile on her face. The other concubines consciously stood on both sides, not daring to receive the prince's gift.
"My son is unfilial and he is in the palace but has not come to pay homage to his mother for many days. Please punish him."
Naturally, Empress Ma will not punish her, it is just a formality. This is the case in this position. The Tian family is selfless and every move must be tested by the people of the world and must be a model for the world.
After Zhu Biao got up, he briefly met and bowed to his concubines. Many of them were the biological concubines of his younger brothers. Even for their sakes, Zhu Biao would show some respect. His younger brothers were holding him back. It's two completely different lives to live without your brothers holding you back.
Naturally, Queen Ma sat at the top of the list. Only Queen Ma in the palace wore a red phoenix skirt. No matter how favored the others were, they did not dare to go beyond the etiquette. In the harem, the queen is the king, the crown prince is the prince, and no matter what the concubines are, It's just the ministers in the palace, and the wives of the government and the public are the foreign ministers. No one dares to disobey the emperor, ministers and envoys.
After they were all seated, the higher-ranking concubines began to say some festive words to make Queen Ma happy. It must be said that they were sisters for many years. Queen Ma was indeed happy to be coaxed, although she knew that there would be no real conflicts between her husband and son. , but it is also true that his son has been banned for a long time.
