This night, Zhu Jianshen did not go to bed so early, but sat in the Palace of Qianqing all the time.
Zhang Bao was not in the palace, and the eunuchs and maids waiting at the side did not dare to persuade him.
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Bao came back.
"Your Majesty, Duke Chengguo has passed away."
Zhu Jianshen nodded and asked, "Can you bear the pain?"
"Your Majesty, I heard from the imperial doctor that Duke Cheng Guo died in his sleep because he was unconscious. He should not have suffered any pain."
"In the end, Duke Cheng Guo didn't say a word to his children or explain anything."
"I heard from the soldiers that before Duke Cheng fell ill, he said goodbye to his beloved horse, and then he talked a lot with Zhu Yi's son, Zhu Fu. After seeing off Zhu Fu, Duke Cheng smiled and fell down. Go down."
"Emma?" Zhu Jianshen asked. He was very familiar with these two words. They were things that he wanted to buy in his previous life but was reluctant to buy them.
"Yes, Your Majesty, that is a bloody horse."
Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then put away his thoughts and thought about what Duke Cheng would look like.
He watched himself grow from a two-year-old child to the handsome young man he is now, and he also watched him change from a strong and capable tough guy to a wretched and weak old pervert.
One is going uphill, and the other is going downhill.
The dead are dead, but the living must continue, so they must be open-minded.
Zhu Jianshen, unlike ordinary people, has experience of death, so he is very open-minded.
With his arrival, Duke Cheng Guo did not die on the battlefield outside the Great Wall, but died at home, which changed the trajectory of his life.
In the original history, Wang Zhen had to bear the blame for the civil war defeat. One Wang Zhen was not able to bear all the blame. Duke Cheng Guo also became the scapegoat. The general lost his army and humiliated the country, causing the emperor to be arrested and let him All achievements in the first half of life are erased.
At that time, Zhu Qiyu temporarily abolished the title. Zhu Yi applied for the title several times, but was rejected. After the incident of Prince Zhu Jianshen and Zhu Jianji, Zhu Qiyu allowed Zhu Yi to take over the title of Chengguo Duke. Of course, at that time, it was already a political exchange. .
In this time and space, Zhu Shou did not die outside the Great Wall. When Zhu Jianshen came to the throne, he assisted the British Duke in defeat. When the new emperor was young and the people's hearts were unstable, he sat in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army and stabilized the gun for Zhu Jianshen. .
And Zhu Jianshen also had a good impression of this lecherous, sometimes stupid, sometimes cunning and clever Duke Cheng Guo. He thought he could work for a few more years, but he didn't expect that he would still die of exhaustion at his job.
However, Duke Cheng Guo, you should be good enough...
Zhu Jianshen took a deep breath, which was his way of comforting himself. He had never been too kind to Duke Cheng Guo. In the Qianqing Palace, he scolded Duke Cheng Guo without using any curse words. .
An old comrade who is about to turn 60 is speechless by a child. His fragile heart must be greatly hurt.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial written by Duke Cheng Guo for you. It was written a year ago."
Zhu Jianshen said quickly: "Send it up quickly."
After Zhang Bao heard it, he quickly put the memorial into Zhu Jianshen's hands.
This memorial was written after Zhu Yi went to sea. It contains a suggestion for the succession of his title, and an apology to His Majesty for skipping work and dying in the middle of the journey. What he wrote can no longer be regarded as a memorial, but more like A great reminder of what to do after death.
"Your Majesty, your minister Zhu Shou, I played on the night of October 21st in the ninth year of Chenghua. People have misfortunes and good fortunes day and night, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is difficult to do in ancient times. I hope that people will live long and live together thousands of miles away."
Seeing this, Zhu Jian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. This must have been written with emotion. Duke Cheng Guo knew Su Shi's poem, but he didn't know how to write the word "Chanjuan", "We share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart". Since it was a posthumous memorial, he He didn't even think about asking anyone. From Duke Cheng's point of view, His Majesty is so smart that he must understand.
"If this posthumous memorial is delivered to Your Majesty, it will be the time when I passed away. Your Majesty ascended the throne at a young age. He was calm and measured. He erected a monument to praise the soldiers who died on the battlefield. I had a private conversation with the British Duke and decided that Your Majesty would definitely do it in the future. Can become the wise king of Ming Dynasty."
"I should have been contributing to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and fighting in battles. However, I have been feeling unwell in recent days. In my old age, I should make arrangements for my death. My minister Zhu Yi is on an overseas mission and I don't know when he will be able to return. I sincerely request your Majesty to allow Zhu Fu, the eldest son of Zhu Yi, to inherit the title of Duke of Chengguo in the Ming Dynasty after my death."
Seeing this, Zhu Jianshen secretly cursed the old fox. Although Cheng Guogong looked confused and stunned on weekdays, he was no less calculating than those of the civil servants. Zhu Yi went to sea and everyone felt a pity if he could not come back, but if he came back, he would definitely be able to Accumulate experience and make meritorious deeds, but by then Zhu Yi will be the Duke of Chengguo, and Zhu Jianshen will have nothing to reward.
Now that Duke Cheng Guo has separated Zhu Yi from the position of Duke Cheng Guo, doesn't it just give Zhu Jianshen room for reasons and rewards?
The Chengguo government also wanted to join in on the beautiful talk of two countries.
The emperor with normal thinking would definitely not allow it, but Zhu Jianshen was not normal. He felt that Duke Cheng had solved a big problem for him. As long as Zhu Yi could do it, he would fulfill his sweet talk.
Perhaps because Zhu Jianshen, who was afraid of monkey spirits, realized that his intentions were inaccurate, he expressed his merits to himself in the following memorial.
"Time is like o, years are like o. When I was young, I followed Emperor Taizong Wen on the expedition outside the Great Wall in the 22nd year of Yongle, and was a bloody battlefield for the Ming Dynasty. In the third year of Xuande, I followed Emperor Xuanzong to put down the rebellion of the Han Dynasty. I also followed Emperor Xuanzong to lead the war. The army left the pass, and the bandits invaded the border bandits. In the ninth year of Zhengtong, I sent troops to Xifengkou, and won three battles in three battles. In the fourteenth year of Zhengtong, although they won, they were defeated. The emperor was captured and locked up in the earthen fort, and he almost harmed the country. , Fortunately, with the blessing of God and our ancestors, Your Majesty ascended the throne at a time of crisis to help the country."
"I originally wanted to relieve your majesty's worries, but God did not wish for it. I hope that your majesty will have many children and live a long life. I hope that in the Ming Dynasty, the country will be prosperous for generations to come."
"Chen Chengguo Duke Zhu Shou's last work..."
After reading it, Zhu Jianshen sighed heavily, and then he picked up his pen and wrote: "Gong Guo has requested that his grandson Zhu Fu inherit the Duke of Chengguo, and I grant it."
After finishing writing, Zhu Jianshen closed his eyes.
Then he wrote at the bottom: "Mr. Cheng Guo, have a safe journey..."
After reviewing the Duke's last memorial, Zhu Jianshen put down his pen and thought of Zhu Yi who didn't know where he was or what he was doing.
Your father, I lost it to you, your title was lost to your father...
The next day, the news of Duke Cheng Guo's death spread throughout the capital.
And the government of the country also began to prepare for the funeral.
When the Duke of the Ming Dynasty dies, it is not like when an ordinary citizen dies. They find some relatives and friends to cry over and bury the matter.
Zhu Jianshen ordered that the court meeting be suspended for one day, and the Ministry of Rites chose the title to be awarded, and the title was listed on the list. BIquGe.biz
When the British Duke passed away, the court meeting did not stop because Zhu Jianshen did not have the consciousness to give orders at that time. This kind of thing was a special commendation for meritorious service by His Majesty the Emperor, and Yu Qian and others could not overstep his authority.
Two days later, Zhu Jianshen decreed that Duke Chengguo should be granted the title of Prince of Pingru County and be buried with royal rites. The title of Duke of Chengguo would be inherited by his grandson Zhu Fu...
