Zhu Yunzhen was hugged by his mother and could only half-turn his head and look behind him quietly.
A fat old man in royal robes came tremblingly.
There is already white hair on the temples, and the traces of time are on his face.
Like an old dragon.
The eyes that should have been bright and bright were full of sadness at this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned a deaf ear to other people's worship.
He just walked over step by step with red eyes.
Zhu Yunzhen watched silently.
As expected of Zhu Yuanzhang, even though he was very old, even though his favorite son died and he was unbearably sad, he still had a majestic and majestic look that made people dare not look at him.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked in his direction step by step, as if there was a pressure coming towards him.
"Boss..." He choked and spoke with a dry voice, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, emperors are human beings too!
There will also be human feelings.
The white-haired man gives the black-haired man a gift.
How many people can bear it?
He also understood that this was not the time for him to speak, so he stood beside his mother Lu without saying a word.
The tears in his eyes were still swirling, but they did not fall.
He was secretly observing Zhu Yuanzhang.
The whole palace was filled with cries, which was heartbreaking.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not cry, but stood there in a daze, looking deeply at the already cold Zhu Biao.
He opened his mouth vigorously, but still did not speak.
Zhu Yunzhen shook his head secretly in his heart. It seemed that Lao Zhu was too sad and could no longer make a sound.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang was clutching his chest in pain, as if he couldn't breathe.
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi tried to shout.
Before he could say anything more, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly fell to the ground with a bang and fell unconscious.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
Everyone was shocked, and someone quickly shouted: "Go and ask for the doctor!"
The entire front hall was in chaos in an instant.
Zhu Yunzhen did not move, but looked at everything quietly, watching the figures running in front of him one after another.
He understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was fine.
It was still early before Zhu Yuanzhang died.
Lao Zhu is just overly sad and temporarily angry.
…
bedroom.
Zhu Yunxuan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang lying on the bed.
Mother Lu, brother Zhu Yunwen and a group of servants also guarded here carefully.
After Zhu Yuanzhang fainted just now, everyone helped him to Zhu Biao's former bedroom.
It took a long time before he woke up. His mental state was still not very good, and he seemed to have not recovered from the shock of losing his son.
"Your Majesty." The white-bearded imperial doctor advised cautiously from the side: "The reason why Your Majesty fainted was because you were overly sad about His Highness the Crown Prince... Please take care of your dragon body and show your condolences and accept the change."
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned against the back of the bed, his eyelids lowered, and did not directly answer the imperial doctor's words.
Everyone just watched anxiously.
The entire bedroom was quiet without a sound.
"It is said that the emperor is majestic, and accompanying him is like accompanying a tiger. It is really true!"
Zhu Yunxuan sighed secretly in his heart, lowering his head and looking at Zhu Yuanzhang carefully.
After another long while, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please go down. I want to be alone for a while."
The voice was hoarse and cracked, making people's hearts tremble.
After receiving the order, everyone said "yes" and then cautiously stepped back.
Including Zhu Yunwen and Lu Shi.
Zhu Yunzhen did not move.
He knows that now is a good opportunity and he must not leave.
"Shen'er," came the urging voice of mother Lu from behind: "What's wrong with you? Go out with mother quickly and let Grandpa Huang..."
"Mother." Zhu Yunxuan choked with sobs and said, "I don't want to leave."
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and glanced over.
Zhu Yunxuan lowered his head, looked at his toes, and whispered: "Dad has left, and I am afraid that Grandpa Huang will leave me too. I want to stay with Grandpa Huang..."
hiss--
As Zhu Yunzhen expected, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a gasp of air.
The room instantly became extremely quiet.
Zhu Yunzhen's words are tantamount to cursing Zhu Yuanzhang!
Mrs. Lu quickly rushed over, slapped Zhu Yunzhen on the back hard, and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhu Yunxuan stumbled forward after being photographed.
Lu quickly said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, Xi'er is still young and ignorant. Your Majesty, please don't blame me!"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhu Yunwen took advantage of the momentum of staggering forward to grab Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.
"Grandpa Huang..." He raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with tearful eyes, still holding Zhu Yuanzhang's hand tightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes moved slightly, and then he said tiredly: "Tong Yan Wuji, please step back, and Zuo'er stays."
"Your Majesty..." Mrs. Lu was confused: "Zhen'er is still young, I'm afraid..."
"I know, please step back." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand tiredly.
Mrs. Lu felt relieved and retreated with Zhu Yunwen and a group of servants.
After everyone left, only the grandfather and grandson were left in the room.
Zhu Yunxuan was still holding Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.
"Grandpa Huang, will you leave me?" He asked weakly, lowering his head.
The voice was sad and the eyes were filled with tears.
"No." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came into his ears: "Xi'er, Grandpa Huang wants to ask you something, and you have to answer it honestly."
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice made Zhu Yunzhen's heart move slightly. Could it be that he overacted and was caught?
But the next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's words dispelled his worries.
"Did your mother teach you what you just said?"
His heart tightened.
Although he didn't look, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes must be staring at him at this moment!
It seems that this Lao Zhu is indeed not easy to fool!
My own advantageous old man, Zhu Biao, was the prince of the current dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, the throne belonged to Zhu Biao.
But now, Zhu Biao passed away unexpectedly.
After Zhu Biao's death, there were actually several options for taking over the throne.
The first is to choose Zhu Yuanzhang's son. In order of eldest son, he is his second uncle, King Qin Zhu Chong.
But Zhu Ping's temperament is obviously not suitable.
Not long ago, I was punished for making a mistake.
The third son of the Jin Dynasty, Zhu Fan, was bohemian by nature and was not the best candidate.
Both of them are willful guys, and Lao Zhu will never leave the country to them.
If you want to establish a virtuous person, the fourth son, King Zhu Di of Yan, is the first to be recommended.
But this is contrary to the system of primogeniture.
In the feudal dynasty, in order to avoid conflicts between the same members of the same family, they always established the elders rather than the virtuous.
After all, the eldest son is not controversial, but "virtuous" is difficult to define.
In addition, it is to choose Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson.
The eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying is the child of Chang Yuchun's daughter Chang and Zhu Biao.
Chang was the real crown princess, but she had already passed away.
Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Yunwen were the sons of the second concubine Lu, so they could only be considered concubines.
If Zhu Xiongying were still alive, he would be the undisputed first choice.
Unfortunately, this guy died young at the age of eight.
According to the order of succession, the second son of the Chang family should be established - Zhu Yunxi.
After all, since ancient times, it has been established to establish elders rather than children, and to establish direct descendants rather than concubines.
But Zhu Yunxuan understood that Zhu Yuanzhang also had his concerns.
Zhu Yunxi had a peaceful personality. Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that he would not be able to control Lan Yu and other relatives, so he issued an order to make Lu a royal concubine.
Zhu Yunwen therefore had the status of the eldest son, and naturally became the emperor's grandson.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously suspected that Lu was going to start fighting for his son's position as prince, so he asked this question.
With his mind racing, Zhu Yunzhen cleared his thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief.
He shook his head and said, "My mother didn't teach me this."
Zhu Yunxuan raised his head in tears, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang innocently, and asked, "Why does Grandpa Huang think so?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened and he said, "You still don't understand my lord's affairs."
Zhu Yunxuan shook his head and said stubbornly: "Grandpa Huang, I heard that the day a boy's father leaves is the day he grows up. Xu'er has grown up."
"Grandpa Huang, are you thinking about establishing a prince?"
Zhu Yunzhen chose to show off his cards directly. After all, who is Lao Zhu?
How long can you hide your little thoughts in front of him?
It's better to just do it.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Yunxuan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned.
No matter how sad he is, he still has to think about the Ming Dynasty.
Now that I am old, this matter cannot be delayed.
When Zhu Biao was seriously ill, he was thinking about this issue.
He asked with deep meaning: "Xi'er, tell me, who is suitable for Grandpa Huang to make him the crown prince?"
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Zhu Yunzhen felt like thorns piercing his back and could hardly breathe.
But he understood that at this time, he couldn't show any cowardice.
Meeting Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Zhu Yunxuan said firmly: "Returning to the emperor, I think my fourth uncle, King Yan, is the most suitable one!"
