Seeing that Lao Zhu had not expressed his opinion for a long time, the officials of the fourth rank and below in the court felt their hearts sinking.
Can they just watch the hope of a salary increase slip away from them?
They wanted to say something, but Lao Zhu didn't express his attitude, so they didn't dare.
Those bloody heads from the past few days are still playing in their minds!
They can only place their hope on Prince Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao seemed to be able to hear the voices in their hearts, and immediately stood up to refute those people.
It is said that they are now in high positions and have long forgotten the hard work of lower-level officials.
And give an example of how difficult the life of lower-level officials is.
Zhu Biao's words resonated with lower-level officials.
They were so moved that they vowed to go through fire and water for the prince.
Look, what a good prince!
How could you old thieves have the heart to refute the prince?
Lao Zhu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had been observing the reactions of the officials. Seeing that the time was almost up, he pretended to think for a while, and then slowly said: "What the prince said is not unreasonable. All my dear friends, let's discuss it together today. Let’s see how much salary increase is appropriate.”
Officials below the fourth rank were overjoyed.
After some debate, we got a relatively satisfactory ending.
Now, their future life will be easier.
…
Earl's Palace.
Yang Xuan is very free now. He just finished the Guo Huan case, and Zhu Biao took a special day off to let him rest.
Yang Xuan went to see Xu Da in the morning and saw that his face was rosy, so he felt less worried.
After all, I have been busy these past few months and have little time.
"Xiao Xuanzi, tell me, we have been in the same room for more than half a year, and my stomach still doesn't respond."
"Should I go see the imperial doctor?"
An Qing lay in Yang Xuan's arms, caressing his belly and said sadly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your health is fine." Yang Xuan comforted him.
Ever since he knew he was immortal, he had never thought about having children.
It’s so painful to watch a loved one pass away and not be able to do anything about it.
Also, he is a relative.
Yes, the relatives can be said to be from the emperor's camp, but since ancient times, there have been many incidents of relatives causing trouble.
While the emperor will reuse you, he will also guard against you.
Therefore, having no heir is the best.
After all, in this era, if you rebel, you must have an heir.
You don’t even have any heirs, who will rebel against you?
I remember that when Lao Zhu was fighting in the war, his morale was greatly boosted because of Zhu Biao's birth.
Because of this, even if Lao Zhu accidentally gets killed, there will still be Zhu Biao who can lead them to continue the rebellion.
"But if you don't have children, won't your Yang family's incense be cut off?" An Qing said.
Yang Xuan is the only one left in the Yang family, and An Qing also wants to pass on the family line to Yang Xuan.
"Who said that, as long as I am still alive, the Yang family's incense will never be cut off." Yang Xuan said.
This is the truth.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, we two are fine."
"Okay." An Qing didn't say anything else, and she wasn't in a hurry. After all, she was still young!
Even if Yang Xuan wanted it in a few years, it would still be too late.
In this way, Yang Xuan lived his own small life with Anqing in his house, and went to the Duke of Wei's house every now and then to visit Xu Da.
It would be great if it had always been like this, but unfortunately, what should come will always come.
Late that night, Xu Zengshou knocked on the door of the Earl's Mansion.
Seeing Xu Zengshou's anxious face, the housekeeper welcomed him in, and then went to wake up Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan hurriedly put on his clothes and left the room.
As soon as he saw Yang Xuan, Xu Zengshou began to cry loudly. Yang Xuan quickly comforted him: "What happened? Don't be anxious. Speak slowly."
"Senior brother, in the evening, my father's condition suddenly relapsed and he vomited a lot of blood. When I came out, my eldest brother had already gone to the imperial doctor."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Senior brother, father... I'm afraid father won't be able to survive."
Xu Zengshou was crying with a lot of tears and runny nose.
"Zengshou, don't talk nonsense."
"Teacher has been on the battlefield for most of his life and has been fine. A small case of back gangrene can't kill him."
Yang Xuan's face darkened and he lectured.
He didn't want to believe the bad news.
His teacher was Xu Da, known as the Military God of the Ming Dynasty. How could he lose his life because of a gangrene on his back?
"Zengshou, take me to see the teacher immediately." Yang Xuan said.
He didn't bother to explain to An Qing, he just spoke to the housekeeper and left the mansion in a hurry.
By the time Anqing found it, Yang Xuan had already arrived at the Wei Guogong Mansion.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Wei Guogong Mansion was solemn.
After Yang Xuan came in, he found that everyone's face was not good-looking.
The three teachers’ wives were even filled with tears.
Yang Xuan stepped forward to understand the situation with them.
Knowing that the imperial doctor was treating Xu Da inside, he waited with others outside.
After a long time, the imperial doctor followed Xu Yungong and walked out.
I saw that Xu Yungong's face was very ugly, as if he was holding back.
He has grown a lot over the years and has become much calmer.
Already somewhat similar to Xu Da.
"Physician, how is our master's condition?" Xie asked.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present turned their attention to the imperial doctor.
"Madam, my ability is limited and I can't help you."
"Please, make preparations early!"
The imperial doctor shook his head and sighed.
Everyone present understood what the imperial doctor meant, Xu Da could not pass this test.
Yang Xuan's body swayed and he couldn't accept it.
Wasn't it already feeling better when I came back from Peking last year?
When he went to see Xu Da two days ago, the latter was in good spirits. Why did he suddenly become like this?
"It must be you who didn't treat my father well. I'll kill you." At this time, Xu Zengshou roared and rushed towards the imperial doctor.
Yang Xuan came to his senses and stopped Xu Zengshou.
"Brother, let me go and let me kill this guy. He must have failed to treat his father well." Xu Zengshou roared.
"Zengshou, that's enough, now is not the time for you to fool around." Yang Xuan cursed.
Then he looked at the imperial physician and asked cautiously: "Is there really nothing you can do, imperial physician?"
There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He knew that it was not easy to be an imperial physician, especially one from the Hongwu Dynasty.
Life is in danger at every turn.
Li Wenzhong died of illness last year, and all the imperial doctors who treated him were killed by Lao Zhu.
Therefore, in many cases, imperial doctors would reserve a hand and prescribe mild prescriptions.
Eating it won't kill you, but its effect on the condition isn't very good either.
Finally, as he dragged on, his condition worsened, and it was too late to save him.
"Prince-in-law, unless I don't want to, I really can't do anything."
"I admire Duke Wei's conduct as a person. If he could be saved, he would not stand idly by."
"But this time Wei Guogong not only had the recurrence of back gangrene, but also the hidden wounds left on the previous battlefield."
"Under such circumstances, there is nothing that Hua Tuo can do even if he is alive."
"I'm waiting for you, Duke Wei may not be able to survive tonight."
"Prince-in-law, madam, please get ready!"
