Zhu Yuanzhang was in confusion. He knew very well that if Zhu Di suffered from tuberculosis and was unable to continue to assume military power, it would have a major impact on his plans.
Now, whether Zhu Di can continue to govern Yuandadu well is a question.
Zhu Di was regarded as Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand assistant, and his troop dispatch plan was inseparable from Zhu Di's support and execution.
If Zhu Di becomes ill, the entire plan will be in trouble.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately summoned a group of important officials for discussions.
Everyone speculated about the cause of the disease. Some people thought it was a conspiracy by the Zhang Zhou people, who deliberately spread the disease artificially.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang even more alert, and he realized that the matter might involve a larger conspiracy.
Prior to this, Zhu Yuanzhang prepared an internal raid and planned to seize an important piece of land in a short period of time.
As the commander of the operation, Zhu Di will participate in the entire planning process.
Now he suddenly fell ill and had to stop the execution of the plan.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial on the table and pondered for a long time.
He decided to investigate further and sent spies to discover the source of the illness.
At the same time, he also decided to temporarily shelve the action and wait until Zhu Di recovered before making plans again.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered to strengthen prevention and control, allowing the Department of Public Health and Security to find clues and evidence related to Zhu Di's illness as soon as possible.
At the same time, he also paid close attention to the movements within the palace to prevent anyone from taking advantage of this opportunity to secretly obstruct and provoke him.
Although the situation has become complicated and urgent, Zhu Yuanzhang has not been swayed. Even if Zhu Di is ill at this time, he will continue to advance his plan.
He knew that it was impossible for Zhu Di to lead the troops, and he could not let him drag his sick body out.
The most important thing right now is to uncover the enemies within, which is more important than using troops externally.
When Queen Ma learned that Zhu Di was ill, she couldn't help wiping away her tears, "Tell me, okay, why do our children suffer from such incurable diseases one after another?"
Zhu Yuanzhang comforted his wife and said: "Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven. This is not something you and I can decide."
"No, I want to go to Yuandadu to see the fourth child. He is such a proud person. If he cannot leave the palace for the rest of his life, he will definitely go crazy." Queen Ma said with red eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang gently held Queen Ma's hand and said warmly: "Xiuying, don't worry, I will definitely find the best treatment for the fourth child and try my best to help him recover.
No matter what, we will not let him spend his life alone and miserable. "
Queen Ma raised her head, "Yes, we can't sit still and wait for death, we must strive for every possible hope for him.
I want to leave immediately to go to Yuandadu, and take a look at Lao Liu to see if he can find a better treatment method. "
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was impossible not to let his wife leave the palace.
He said: "I don't know what happened to the special medicine that the sixth child mentioned before. Now the second and fourth children are like this. He must find a way to get the special medicine no matter what."
Queen Ma nodded gently. As parents, no matter what, they would stick to their children's side and not let him face the torture of the disease alone.
She decided to go to Yuandadu immediately, not only to visit her sick fourth son, but also to explore better treatment methods.
Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned the special medicine that Lao Liu mentioned before. Although she didn't know whether it was effective, she decided to continue looking for this possible hope.
Although she would have put pressure on Zhu Jun in the past, she can't care so much now.
The next day, Queen Ma left the palace, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent 3,000 people to escort her along the way. The public only said that Queen Ma returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors, and that was all.
When Zhu Jun learned that Queen Ma was coming, he was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "How could I forget about mother? She loves us children so much. She doesn't care if the second child is sick, but the fourth child is her biological child.
No, we can't let my mother go there. If she goes, there will be a risk of infection. We can't let my mother take this risk. "
When he learned that Queen Ma was coming to find him, he also had people prepare in advance.
Not long after, Queen Ma led everyone to Weihaiwei.
This Weihaiwei was much richer than Empress Ma had imagined, but at this time, she was not in the mood to watch.
Zhu Jun also hurriedly came to pick him up with his wife and children, "Mom, you said you were in the cold weather, why did you come to the north?"
Empress Ma said: "Why, don't you welcome mother to come over?"
When Zhu Jun saw Empress Ma, he was both happy and worried. He hurriedly said: "Mother, it's not that I don't welcome you to come over, I'm just worried that you will get hurt."
Empress Ma felt her son's concern and smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, everything is fine with me.
I came here mainly to see you. The last time your father asked you to go back to Beijing, you didn't go back.
And these grandsons, how long have I not seen them? "
Queen Ma held the calf in her hands. These two cubs were white and fat, and they were not afraid of life at all.
If they were asked to call someone, they would do so, which made Queen Ma extremely happy.
When Zhu Jun saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh. He hurriedly invited Queen Ma back to the palace, "Mom, you came here specifically to see my fourth brother this time, right?
Fourth brother is in a special situation right now. If you rush there rashly, you may face the risk of infection. "
Queen Ma shook her head, "Now that I'm here, how can I be afraid of this? Don't you know what a strong person your fourth brother is?
By the way, how is the research on the special medicine you mentioned last time? Can it be used? "
Zhu Jun shook his head, "This special medicine is not that easy."
In fact, there have always been some unorthodox prescriptions for treating pulmonary tuberculosis. Zhu Jun did not know about the medicines used to treat pulmonary tuberculosis in later generations. He only knew that there was a breakthrough after a millennium.
He is just trying to find ways to extract the essence from some medicines, and then continue to experiment, maybe one day he will be able to defeat tuberculosis.
Not for others, but for your own family.
"So, there is no hope?" Queen Ma said disappointedly.
Seeing his mother's disappointment, Zhu Jun said: "It's not completely hopeless. Some of the drugs currently discovered have certain effects on tuberculosis, but a lot of experiments are still needed.
Mom, don’t worry, that’s my fourth brother, how could I not be interested in him? "
Empress Ma sighed, "Mom doesn't want to put pressure on you. After your father found out about this, he was so worried that he stayed up all night. I have never seen him behave like this.
The second child loses his temper in the palace every day, and the fourth child is acting like this now. How many parents feel better?
If you can, I hope you can try harder. "
Zhu Jun smiled bitterly. He was thinking, what would Empress Ma think if she knew that the second and fourth sons were like this because of her?
At that time, she must have thought that she was a traitor, right?
