Chapter 132 Winter of the Twenty-Fourth Year of Hongwu
What did the prince seem to have thought of? Princess Anqing had already rushed over and shouted: "Give my husband his life. He is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but you treat him like this. You are a fool."
In an instant, many scenes flashed before the prince's eyes. It was the scene where the prince ordered He Xi to be executed.
But the prince was in extreme pain, and he said loudly: "I didn't want to kill him. I didn't want to kill him."
This is also what he thinks.
To be honest, if necessary, the prince could make up his mind to kill He Xi alone, but he knew that killing He Xi was not as simple as killing He Xi alone. But it is impossible for even the backbone of He Xi's faction to stay.
Just as Fang Xiaoru could not be killed by just Fang Xiaoru alone, Fang Xiaoru's close disciples are all unforgivable, and even those who are distantly related to Fang Xiaoru but have similar political ideas cannot come forward again.
The killing of Fang Xiaoru and He Xi was just a sign. Behind this sign, there was actually a great purge.
And the prince knew even more that the people under He Xi's command were the most knowledgeable about industry and economics in this era. Without He Xi, it would be difficult to cultivate these people.
Kill these people and try to cultivate these people. I don’t know how much effort it takes.
This is what the prince does not want.
With the prince's loud shout, everything in front of him seemed to disappear.
Suddenly, all that was left in front of the prince was a cold stone tablet. The prince took a quick look and saw that it read, Hongwu Party Monument, and the leader was none other than He Xi. Dozens of officials headed by He Xi all fled overseas.
He Xidu died overseas.
Then the prince looked over again, but it turned into a monument to the Jianwen Party members, headed by Fang Xiaoru, who was scorning and scurrying away. And after Fang Xiaoru died, his body was whipped, his bones crushed and ashes thrown away.
With just two tablets, countless bloody events flashed through the prince's eyes. The entire Ming Dynasty was severely damaged.
It is also suffering from internal and external troubles and is caught in a precarious situation.
In reality, the prince's hand that was supporting his forehead was loosened, and he almost fell down on the table. The prince stared blankly at the flickering candlelight for a while, and then said: "You are all forcing me. You are all forcing me." I."
Immediately, the prince's throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The prince's vision went dark and he fainted.
For a time, countless people came over, and countless people said loudly: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
------
Under the dim candlelight, Dai Yuanli diagnosed the prince's pulse. After a while, Dai Yuanli slowly put down his hand, twirled his beard and said nothing.
Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Xiongying, and the prince's sons were all there.
Crown Princess Lu said: "Dr. Dai, what's wrong with your highness's health?"
Nowadays, Dai Shenyi's identity is completely different. If we say that before, Dai Shenyi's reputation only existed in the court and among the scholar-bureaucrats. Now the name of Dai Miracle Doctor has spread all over the world, and is known to all women and children.
Not only the prestige brought by vaccination, but also under the imperial hospital system designed by He Xi, Doctor Dai did a lot of research and gained many disciples. Spread the name of Doctor Dai. Dai Shenyi's identity is no longer limited to being a doctor. And move towards scholar-bureaucrats.
Crown Princess Lu cannot but respect her.
Doctor Dai pondered for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness, the prince's emotions and intelligence have been impaired in the past few years, and his emotions have been restless. He has been overthinking and has been stimulated by something recently, which has aggravated the condition. I can only calm the nerves and calm the pulse, and slowly replenish the vitality. As for the Other heart diseases can only be cured by heart medicine." 33
Doctor Dai had some words that he didn't say.
That is, the prince is really in danger this time.
The Crown Princess thanked Doctor Dai profusely and asked Doctor Dai to prescribe medicine.
The impact of the prince's illness this time was not too great, after all, the prince had been sick for many years. But Dai Yuanli would naturally tell Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma the truth.
So Queen Ma came to see the prince.
Empress Ma was recuperating in Houhu. Although her health was not bad, she needed help when walking.
The prince woke up from his coma and saw Queen Ma waiting by his side. In his heart, the prince was filled with shame and said, "The child is unfilial and makes the mother tired."
Queen Ma said: "It's okay. I'm your mother. What's the point of working too hard?" Queen Ma paused slightly, but the worry in her eyes could not be concealed. She said: "Your father is a strong man in the world." There are only a few people who can be in his eyes. He has high demands on you. That is his business, don’t take it seriously. The foundation of Ming Dynasty is yours. Whatever you do, you will ruin the family and the whole generation. It’s not over. Just treat what he said as farts and don’t take it to heart. Your body and bones are the most important.”
The prince said yes.
But these words did not penetrate deep into the heart of the prince.
The prince is thoughtful and has a lot of perfectionism in his heart. The prince would never let him lie down and become the prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty. Even the prince himself did not feel that the entanglement in his heart was because he was pursuing a fair and perfect result in all aspects.
If this result was not achieved, the prince would not accept it at all.
But the prince would never say these words to Queen Ma. I can only say some soothing words. Queen Ma was advised not to worry about this.
Queen Ma originally wanted to stay in the East Palace and take care of her son. But Queen Ma is old after all. With the consolation of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, Queen Ma went back to rest.
------
As soon as Queen Ma came out, she saw Zhu Yuanzhang waiting in the cold wind.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Queen Ma coming, he immediately welcomed Queen Ma into his carriage. Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage was very large, with soft seats and a brazier. It's very warm inside.
Zhu Yuanzhang helped Queen Ma get into the carriage, warmed him over the fire, covered Queen Ma with a fur coat, and said, "I'm old. I'm old. I think I could bear this little bit of cold wind without clothes. Now, I'm old." But it doesn’t work anymore.”
Empress Ma leaned relaxedly on the soft seat and said: "A good man does not mention his former bravery. What are you doing with this?" Empress Ma paused and said: "You are here, why don't you go in and see the child? Doctor Dai said, The child has a heart problem, let me see, the child's heart disease is you. Can't you go see the child and relieve the child's heart problem? "
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, changed the subject, and said, "How are you doing, boss?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was generally disappointed with the prince. If the prince is disguising, then he has long been tired of it after using it so many times. If the prince is really sick like this, then the prince's mental ability to bear it is too low. Zhu Yuanzhang was so disappointed.
Zhu Yuanzhang is much more cruel than Queen Ma.
If the prince can survive this test, that will be just fine. But if he couldn't survive, what use would Zhu Yuanzhang have to an heir who couldn't inherit the great cause?
It should be noted that Zhu Yuanzhang valued everything about the prince not only because the prince was Zhu Yuanzhang's son, but also Zhu Yuanzhang's political successor. Even to Zhu Yuanzhang, the latter was more important than the former. The child Zhu Yuanzhang valued most was not the prince, but the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang's magnificent career was what he valued most.
In the face of these, all blood and family ties can stand aside. In the late Ming Dynasty, there was a master-disciple succession in official circles. Many teachers valued their political successors much more than their own sons. This is the same reason.
You could even say they are gay.
It represents like-mindedness and passing on the fire from generation to generation. This is much more important than blood.
Queen Ma said: "It should be fine. Just practice yourself well."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not say what Empress Ma said, but in his heart, he disagreed. It wasn't that he was cursing his child, but he had experienced too many things, and he had an ominous premonition at this moment.
In more than a month, it will be the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu.
Historically, the prince died in the 25th year of Hongwu.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know if this was an unforeseen fate. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay too much attention to this matter. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had to break through many levels and break through countless disasters in his life. But his son may not have such mental endurance.
Not to mention, what the prince suffered was heart disease.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally hoped that his son would live a long life, but in his heart, he began to prepare for the fact that the prince would not be able to overcome this obstacle.
Some people died, but not completely...
