Chapter 199 More than one funeral
According to Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Changluo died on a woman's belly on September 24. Of course, this kind of thing must not be talked about publicly. Therefore, the cause of death disclosed by the court now was severe diarrhea.
However, whether it was death on a woman's stomach or severe diarrhea, Zhu Youdong's heart was filled with deep questions.
"Mr. Yuan, I want to ask you one last time! Does my father's matter have anything to do with you?"
"Your Highness, let me answer for the last time! We want to do what you said, but we haven't had time to do it yet!"
"You~~!"
Looking at Yuan Keli, who was holding his neck and looking at him without fear. Zhu Youdong finally waved his hand weakly and asked Yuan Keli to retreat.
Hey, maybe as a time traveler, I unconsciously always make judgments based on the trajectory of the historical plane.
Yes, in the historical plane, Zhu Changluo died in 1620, but in this plane it was a full eight years earlier. However, in this plane, my appearance helped him stabilize his position as prince in advance, and his tight
His mentality suddenly relaxed, and his personal life habits became more indulgent, which caused his health to deteriorate rapidly. Later, he was depressed because of my performance. In addition, at the beginning of this year, Wang An was killed and Guo Zhengyu was killed because of me.
He was forced to commit suicide and the prince was frightened... Okay, I convinced myself.
In short, after receiving the news of Zhu Changluo's death, as the eldest son, Zhu Youdong had to leave for Beijing immediately.
"Hey, I originally planned to complete the census in Nanjing this year. Now it seems...Mr. Yuan, you will not go to Beijing this time. I ask you to stay in Nanjing. The census must continue.
Vigorously promote it. This is a matter related to the foundation of the country, and Gu’s reserve position is nothing compared to him."
"Your Highness, please don't think like this. If your position is not stable and the future of the country is gone, why do you need the foundation? But don't worry, Your Highness, I will continue to promote this matter in Nanjing."
"Okay, I will probably stay for a long time when I return to Beijing this time. So, Li Shizhong, Zhang Shize, Li Chunzhong, and Wang Chengen, the four of you will follow me back to Beijing. Everyone else, please settle in your place."
"Your Highness!"
"Mr. Yuan, what do you want to say?"
"In addition to Shizhong's personal guards, please also bring an army of Henghai Guards. Their size must be at least a thousand households."
"Hey, Mr. Yuan, how can I bring an army of thousands of people back to Beijing at such a sensitive moment? Let's transfer a hundred households and let the sniper king, Wang Shunwen, accompany me back to Beijing. In addition, Master Cheng
How about coming with me too?"
"This arrangement is appropriate."
"Well...Mr. Yuan, I am in a state of confusion right now, and I have not thought through many things. Please help me check for any omissions."
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness."
After making these arrangements, Zhu Youdong went to pack his bags. But Yuan Keli immediately went to work on his account.
"I'm passing on word that the next census will be held in the nearby Zhenjiang Prefecture. The members of the work team can be replaced, but the scale will remain the same. I instruct each team leader to pay more attention to the method. At this time, everything should focus on stability.
"
"yes!"
"Tian Qianhu, you can send a strong force... No, you go to Luoyang yourself to take charge! Keep an eye on King Fu!
"Okay, Mr. Yuan, don't worry. I will rush to Luoyang as soon as my grandson gets on the boat."
"Is Yan Siqi still in Osaka and not back?"
"Yes, it is said that the situation in the Japanese country is getting more and more serious now, and General Yan will not be able to come back for the time being."
"Then send an order to Li Guozhu and ask him to dispatch a squadron to escort His Highness northward. In addition, send another squadron with more soldiers on board, and follow His Highness's fleet on the road. After His Highness enters the capital, he will try to find a way to find it nearby. We can go ashore somewhere and have someone to support us if necessary."
"yes!"
"Everyone, Longxiang Jiutian begins today. We follow His Highness because we firmly believe that Your Highness is the wise king who can lead our Ming Dynasty to prosperity. Therefore, at this moment, everyone needs to fulfill their duties and dedicate themselves wholeheartedly!"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Yuan, we will follow His Highness till the end of time!"
…
On October 7, 1612, Zhu Youdong and his party rushed back to Beijing. Then for the first time, he did not go to Qianqing Palace first, but went directly to Ciqing Palace.
Although the owner of this place has passed away for half a month, Ciqing Palace, which is wrapped in a white curtain, is still gloomy and gloomy at this time. After the Crown Princess Guo, there were more than 30 attendants and 13 children. , everyone looked horrified. Although they had cried for so many days, they had almost shed the tears they needed to shed. But thinking about the uncertain future and the possible tragic end, everyone still couldn't help sobbing.
When Zhu Youdong appeared in the mourning hall in the palace, wearing a beheaded body, Guo took the lead. Everyone in Ciqing Palace surrounded him and burst into tears again.
They can't help but be frightened. Everyone is familiar with the story of the Jianwen and Yongle dynasties of this dynasty. After all, Emperor Jianwen was already 15 years old when he lost his father, and he was 21 years old when he ascended the throne. But our family is now the oldest. The tall man is only 12 years old!
But what can be done? What would it be like if our group lost to King Fu's group in the competition for the reserve? Look at Emperor Jianwen, it is not clear whether he is alive or dead, but his brother, Not long after Grandpa Cheng came to power, all his sons died suddenly and suddenly!
Therefore, Zhu Youdong is the key to everyone's survival in the future!
"Okay, okay, don't cry. Don't be afraid. Big brother is here." He gently hugged each of his younger brothers and sisters, and said softly: "You school, besides being my brother, you are the oldest here." You are a man, you have to take up your responsibilities. In this way, you can take your brothers, sisters and aunts out to rest first, and then come over and talk to me later."
After everyone slowly exited, Zhu Youdong could finally kneel down and pay homage to Zhu Changluo's coffin. After completing the basic procedures of lighting candles, offering incense and mourning, Zhu Youdong paid homage to Mr. Guo who was standing next to him: "Mother, thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, it's not hard to be a mother. But you, after fighting in Liaodong, went to Nanjing not long ago, and came back in a hurry."
"Mom, father, isn't he being framed by someone?"
"Probably not. Your father was in the room of that cheap maid of Mrs. Liu that day... After suddenly losing his breath, Mrs. Liu came out and called. The imperial doctor from the palace arrived soon, but by that time your father was already dead... After that, the imperial doctor , Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Internal Official Supervisor, Si Li Supervisor, and Da Zongzheng all sent people here, and they all said that your father died because of excessive losses."
"Sigh...what's going on in Ciqing Palace these days?"
"There are quite a lot of things, except for your father's funeral. There are also many people from all walks of life who come to inquire about the news. It is normal for the eunuchs and maids in the palace to have other thoughts. But fortunately, although that evil slave Wang An is not here
However, the Wei Dynasty was still able to handle affairs effectively. In addition, after your father passed away, although Wei Zhongxian rushed to Nanjing to report your funeral in person, he also sent people from Xinghua Palace to help, so there was no big trouble."
"Uh... mother, you mean, where is Concubine Zheng?"
"Oh! That's right, Concubine Zheng came once during the first seven days of your father's life, but she never came other than that. And I heard from Wei Chao that Concubine Zheng has been in her palace these days and hasn't gone anywhere.
I have never gone to see the emperor."
"Well..." After pondering for a while, Zhu Youdong was about to say something, but saw Wei Chao running in hurriedly: "Concubine, Master, it's not good, Concubine Wang (Zhu Changluo's biological mother) fell into the well and died.
Chapter completed!
