Chapter 147 Cleaning up the situation
Before Doctor Dai could tighten Zhu Yuanzhang's needles, Xu Da had already arrived.
Xu Da was also helped in.
Time is the greatest force in the world. The high-spirited young people and all-powerful heroes are now old. Zhu Yuanzhang lost his son and his wife. Tang and his sons were all damaged and could not even walk. And the general who led thousands of troops and dominated the world was also an old man in need of support.
All that remains of their era is the afterglow.
Fortunately, Doctor Dai quickly ended the first round of treatment for Zhu Yuanzhang. He said: "His Majesty's condition is stable. If His Majesty can wake up within a few days, it will be no big deal. It's just that these few days will be very difficult."
Doctor Dai actually had some reservations in his words.
There are two reservations.
First, Doctor Dai is actually very confident that Zhu Yuanzhang will wake up within a few days at most. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang will be in coma for several days is not only due to Zhu Yuanzhang's illness, but also because Zhu Yuanzhang was too tired in all aspects during this period of time. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel it himself. In fact, his emotions were too tight. You need to take a good rest for a while.
Second, Doctor Dai did not say that Zhu Yuanzhang's condition was very serious this time. Although he was treated in time, it would be difficult to return to his original state.
Of course, Doctor Dai didn't know what would happen to Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's illness, in modern terms, was a stroke.
Although the severity is relatively mild and treatment is relatively timely, there are still sequelae. What kind of sequelae will depend on the specific situation. Even Dai Shenyi can't judge now.
Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Dai Shenyi said.
Zhu Yuanzhang's life and death require two different ways of dealing with the aftermath. There is no need for the worst ending now. Although Xu Da was not selfless, Xu Da's position was more on Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
This is not to say that Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang had a deep relationship and did not consider the position of the Duke of Wei at all.
But Xu Da's best choice is to stand with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because the Xu family is extremely wealthy, unless the Xu family wants to usurp the throne, no matter who they support to ascend the throne, it will not be worth the gain. Even if the Xu family has a great contribution in supporting King Yan to ascend the throne, so what? How does King Yan repay the Xu family? The Xu family is already the most noble in the Ming Dynasty. Is it possible to give up the throne?
This principle is the reason why some people in history defended Li Shanchang's unjust imprisonment. If Li Shanchang conspired to rebel, unless he became the emperor himself, it would be the same reason to support whoever became the emperor.
Xu Da participated in the seizure of the heir and succeeded, but there was no gain, but if he failed. Then the Xu family's current prosperity and wealth will not be preserved. Now if the Xu family remains neutral, remains loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, and listens to Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements, even if the new king ascends the throne in the future, it will be impossible to completely ignore the Xu family.
Besides, it would be unrealistic to say that Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang have gone from humble beginnings to the present, with no feelings at all.
No matter in terms of interests or emotions, Xu Da would never betray Zhu Yuanzhang.
After understanding the situation here, Xu Da was silent for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness, King Jin, I would like to ask you to go and stay in front of the ancestral tablet for a while. What do you think, Your Highness, King Jin?"
The king of Jin did not dare to make mistakes in front of Xu Da.
After all, Xu Da also taught King Jin back then. King Jin didn't hold back at all in front of He Xi, but in front of Xu Da, he was like a quail and could only be obedient.
Then Xu Da asked Xu Zheng to send several eunuchs to lock the King of Jin in the Ancestral Temple. Zhu Yuanzhang did not wake up for a day, and the King of Jin could not come out for a day.
When Zhu Yuanzhang wakes up, Zhu Yuanzhang will deal with it.
Xu Da called He Xi over, and Xu Da said: "Your Majesty, who bears the weight of the world, is now unconscious. This matter is not trivial. What do you think of saving him?"
He Xi saluted respectfully and said, "For such a big matter, my nephew will listen to my uncle."
Xu Da said: "If you have any ideas, you can tell me now. If not, I will make a decision."
Xu Da and his party are kind to others, since He Xi called him over at such a critical moment. It can be regarded as a big favor to Xu Da. Xu Da naturally wanted to repay the favor.
However, He Xi is very self-aware that his team in Nanjing is too small and he does not have the strength to support his ideas. It's better not to say anything than to do this. Instead of saying anything, Xu Da was asked to consider his own thoughts. This in itself is a very significant benefit.
He Xi said: "Uncle decides everything."
Xu Da said: "Well, now send people to call Duke Feng Sheng of Song Dynasty and Duke Fu Youde of Ying Kingdom. They are here. The city of Nanjing has stabilized."
He Xi thought for a moment and realized why Xu Da said that.
Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde are the three giants in the army. Even though Xu Da has the highest prestige in the army, he cannot completely suppress the other two. This may be Zhu Yuanzhang's check and balance technique. We cannot let one family become the sole leader.
But after the three people reached an agreement, the army near Nanjing City was considered stable.
Of course, there is another unspeakable reason here, that is, the Nanjing Imperial Palace is under the management of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guards, and these people are subordinate to Zhu Yuanzhang. Without anyone's influence, even if Feng Sheng and Fu Youde entered the palace, life and death would not be up to them.
This is also a check and balance.
In fact, Nanjing is Zhu Yuanzhang's base camp, and the Zhu family has the greatest power. There are Jin Yiwei, and there are also many direct descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Nanjing camp. But here's the problem. Zhu Yuanzhang fell into a coma and the prince died. These people have lost allegiances.
Now, Xu Da did not call any of the princes or grandsons over, and this was also the reason.
Because if one of these people masters these powers, it is very likely to launch a coup. Ascended to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
This is not what veterans like them want to see.
Therefore, before Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, Xu Da did not want to call all Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants over. He would rather entrust Yu He Xi to take care of matters in the palace than leave them to the prince. After all, He Xi's surname is not Zhu.
But He Xi was a little confused and said, "Lanyu and Mu Ying are both here, why don't you call them two?"
Xu Da shook his head and said: "The two of them are juniors, and their direct descendants are not in the capital. At this time, they are just like you, just sitting and watching, unable to do anything. However, there is one person, maybe you need to call him over, But it’s up to you.”
He Xi said: "Who is it?"
Xu Da said: "Fang Xiaoru, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and I are just sitting here to prevent chaos in the capital. But major events in the world cannot be delayed. Many things always have to be dealt with. At this time, except for Fang Xiaoru, no one else Couldn’t find anyone else to come.”
"only------"
He Xi understood what Xu Da meant, and what Xu Da meant was the conflict between Fang Xiaoru and He Xi. The two sides did not break up, but for a person of Xu Da's level, it was clear that the two were incompatible.
But Xu Da was also public-minded and had no intention of favoring Fang Xiaoru.
This is also a fact.
From a political point of view, Fang Xiaoru suffered losses from the death of the prince, but gained more.
The reason is very simple. The prince was originally the head of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. This position, of course, was due to the prince's own moral character and ability. It was Zhu Yuanzhang's original arrangement that made the world's civil servants place their hopes on the prince.
But the prince died. This position is vacant.
Fang Xiaoru was originally an important assistant to the prince, managing the civil servants on his behalf and communicating with these ministers. Originally, the prince had a very close relationship with these civil servants, and Fang Xiaoru was originally a messenger. But as the prince lingered on the sickbed, the time he could see the ministers became shorter. There are fewer ministers to see.
Things that were communicated from top to bottom were in the hands of Fang Xiaoru, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang, for the sake of the prince, let Fang Xiaoru manage the secretarial supervisor. Although it was temporary, the fewer things the prince had to deal with, the more things Fang Xiaoru had to deal with. .
As a result, Fang Xiaoru's status gradually changed. In addition, Fang Xiaoru himself was powerful. As Song Lian's disciple, the disciples and disciples promoted by Song Lian were all Fang Xiaoru's connections.
Some people died, but not completely...
