Zhu Jianshen was outside Kunning Palace, watching the children playing, and was relaxing when Gao Yi trotted over with a letter.
"Why are you in such a hurry..." Zhu Jianshen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Sun Zan's letter is about the Taibao..."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Zhu Jianshen's face disappeared immediately.
And quickly took the letter from Gao Yi's hand and started to read it.
After reading the contents of the letter, Zhu Jianshen's face looked melancholy, and he was actually a little helpless and panicked.
He slowly put down the letter and then looked at Gao Yi: "You, find some famous doctors in Beijing and ask them to go to Qiantang..."
After hearing this, Gao Yi hurriedly obeyed the order and trotted out of Kunning Palace.
Wait until Gao Yi leaves.
Zhu Jianshen sighed heavily.
This, what's going on.
In half a year, I will be able to see Yu Qian again.
Why is he sick?
Did God just want to leave regrets for me?
Is this a punishment for being suspicious and stubborn?
In fact, Zhu Jianshen no longer needs Yu Qian. It is even said that Yu Qian has long become an obstacle to His Majesty's power path.
Although Yu Qian was dedicated to serving the public, it is undeniable that before Zhu Jianshen was twelve years old, he handled all affairs of the country and was a standing emperor and a powerful minister.
Since ancient times, the final demise of powerful ministers has always been with a little blood...
Either they will be liquidated after death, or they will fall off the altar while alive.
However, Zhu Jianshen chose to be gentler and asked Yu Qian to retire and return to his hometown, resign and go into seclusion.
Yu Qian's withdrawal from the top echelons of power was a sign that the young emperor had fully grasped the power of the empire.
He left very freely, as if he had no attachment to power...
It was because of this freedom that Zhu Jianshen felt a little indebted deep in his heart...
It is self-evident what it means to be old or sick.
Zhu Jian sighed deeply and looked at the children who were still playing: "Life is a lifetime of grass and trees. Maybe we have seen each other for the last time."
In fact, after Zhu Jianshen read the letter, his first thought was to leave immediately. He also wanted to see Yu Qian again.
But his status as emperor did not allow him to do this.
After Gao Yi went down, he ran around the capital, found a dozen doctors with superb medical skills, and arranged for them to go to Qiantang.
…………
His Majesty the Emperor is on a southern tour.
Yu Qian rushed back to Nanjing from Annan.
After confirming the exact time with Xu Youzhen, he set off back to his hometown in Qiantang.
Yu Qian was very satisfied to be able to return to his old home safely after being away for two years.
After he returned to his hometown, he resumed his previous life of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, living in the fields with his old servants, and from time to time acting as a serious grandfather, teaching his newly sensible grandson how to behave...
Life is very peaceful.
But after autumn, Yu Qian contracted wind and cold during a sudden drop in temperature and fell ill.
At first, after Wang Langzhong treated Yu Qian again, the symptoms were relieved.
However, the root of the disease was planted.
Yu Qian did not let Wang Langzhong get his own way. In the last period of time, he compiled what he had seen during his two years of travel and compiled it into a record of customs.
Less than a month after recovery, the disease recurred again.
And the symptoms became more and more serious, and he fell into coma several times.
Everyone thinks that although Yu Qian is over seventy years old, his body is very strong and he has never been sick. There will be no serious problems this time and he will get better slowly.
Things in the world always go against expectations. Yu Qian's health became worse day by day, and finally he could no longer get out of bed.
Sun Zan, who was far away in Qiantang, wanted to report to His Majesty when Yu Qian just fell ill. Two days later, Yu Qian recovered. However, the report was not successful the first time. He relapsed a month later and his condition became more serious. Sun Zan panicked. Frightened, he quickly sent someone to the capital to deliver letters, one to the emperor and one to Yu Qian's daughter.
After the doctors sent by Zhu Jianshen arrived in Qiantang, they came to treat them one by one before they had any rest, but they were all helpless.
It seems to be a foregone conclusion that the oil will run out...
In the dim room, the candle flickered, as if it would go out the next moment.
There were many people kneeling in front of Yu Qian's bed. Zhu Ji, the half-son, also took his wife back to Qiantang after petitioning the emperor to see his old father-in-law off for the last time.
Yu Qian, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
After Yu Mian saw it, he exclaimed: "Father is awake, hurry up, let the gentlemen come in..."
Although he shouted loudly, no one called the doctor.
Because the doctors have already said that the end is coming, just in these two or three days, and there is no need to take medicine and suffer.
At this time, Yu Qian felt much more comfortable, his breathing was relatively smooth, and he was not as dizzy as before. Listening to the cries of his children around him, Yu Qian knew in his heart that he was about to die.
However, he didn't have any fear.
Since ancient times, no one has ever died.
While he still had the strength, he told his children some words.
Then someone called Sun Zan who was guarding outside the room, and handed Sun Zan the customs and customs of various places and the sufferings of the people that he had transcribed during his two years away.
Let him be in Nanjing and hand it over to the emperor on his behalf.
Seeing Yu Qian so weak, Sun Zan felt very sad. After putting away his things, he knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Qian three times.
After arranging things, Yu Qian closed his eyes and thought about his life.
From the age of eight, he was called a child prodigy by his neighbors. He knew the main themes of scriptures and often came up with strange sayings.
"Chopping down twigs twice a year brings the greatest suffering among the trees. You serve the country and the people, but you teach peaches and plums to listen to Sheng songs."
"The Lord Protector is kind enough to eat meat, but he carries withered bones and irritates his hungry intestines. There are so many idle wolves and tigers today, but it is useless for the people to eat all the sheep."
Paying more attention to fame and integrity, paying less attention to fame and fortune, paying more attention to benevolence, and despising suicide, paying more attention to the country, and despising the king. These are his political opinions after becoming an official...
When he was really approaching the end of his life, Yu Qian thought of the student far away in the capital.
A smile appeared on his lips.
The government should be harmonious and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, which should be realized in Chenghua...
There are no regrets in this life...
The sky is high and the dew is thick, and a crescent moon hangs quietly on the southwest horizon.
The cold moonlight shines down on the earth and shines on Yu Qian's old house. From time to time, the sound of crying can be heard in the old house...
One autumn rain and another cold. Since the beginning of autumn in Jiangnan this year, the rain has continued unabated and the temperature has dropped rapidly.
The dignitaries are looking forward to the first snow of winter today, but they have no intuitive feelings about the cold weather.
Ordinary people have long recognized that this may be the coldest winter in the past ten years. They are worried about the situation next year and whether the crops can have a bumper harvest.
However, whether it was the excitement of the first snow in winter or the worries of ordinary people, it no longer seemed important after Yu Qian's death.
Yu Qian was a turning point in the entire history of the Ming Empire, and even occupied a bright page in the entire history of China...
On November 6, the 16th year of Chenghua, he suddenly fell ill and died...
