Chapter 181: Zhu Yuanzhang is also helpless(1/2)
There were not many people who knew about Zhu Xiongying's congenital heart disease at that time, so more than ten well-known imperial doctors were executed by the furious Zhu Yuanzhang.
The dozen or so doctors who may not seem like many, but are able to serve as imperial physicians in imperial hospitals, are all well-known figures in the world, and they are all top bosses in the doctor industry.
However, congenital heart disease can only be maintained and cannot be cured. This has been the consensus since ancient times.
The Lu family, including Concubine Ning, were very clear about the situation at that time. From another perspective, this is also a way to prove Zhu Xiongying's identity.
Even if you take a step back, even if you survive, you can only become a medicine jar.
Neither Lu nor Concubine Ning had ever met Zhu Xiongying. Concubine Lu's statement seemed reasonable to Concubine Ning. Everyone would be suspicious of a person who had been dead for ten years and then resurrected.
"His Majesty told me that in the near future, I will ask Xiongying to visit the palace and let me take a look. He also told me with absolute certainty that when I see Xiongying, I will definitely think that it is real.
The hero."
"It seems that they must be very similar in appearance to make His Majesty think so..."
Concubine Ning said to Lu.
In fact, in Concubine Ning's heart, she still has doubts about the so-called Zhu Xiongying.
Although the incident at the Xiaoling Tomb of King Yu seems to have a certain possibility, it is possible for the hero to survive.
But back then, even the body was cold. Because Queen Ma was ill in bed, Concubine Ning personally changed her clothes.
It was completely complete, and the whole body was already stiff. If it weren't for the special medicine, the body would have started to rot.
Under such circumstances, how could there be a possibility of feigning death? It was really impossible to die.
However, when His Majesty said it, Concubine Ning did not argue or defend her. He understood His Majesty's temper very well.
Regarding the eldest grandson he brought up, especially Queen Ma, His Majesty was almost in a state of bewilderment.
At this time, anyone who dares to question Xiongying's identity is really seeking death. Even Concubine Ning will probably be severely scolded.
Concubine Ning remained silent, wanting to wait until she saw Xiongying before talking about anything.
"If the real hero comes back, there will be no other problems, but if someone is pretending to be someone and takes advantage of this opportunity, it would be a bit scary."
There was very obvious worry in Lu's tone.
Concubine Ning nodded, still agreeing with this statement.
She also knew that Mrs. Lu was Zhu Yunwen's biological mother and was currently the crown prince's concubine. It was only natural for people to have such thoughts.
It had only been a short time since Yun Wen was established as the grandson, and suddenly a big brother appeared. Anyone would have other thoughts in their mind.
However, Concubine Ning just sighed slightly in the end. As a woman, how could she influence His Majesty's decision?
The only people who can influence His Majesty's decision are Empress Ma and Prince Zhu Biao.
Even the eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying.
Mrs. Lu had been observing Concubine Ning's expression, and when she saw the hesitation in her face, she knew that her goal had been achieved, and it would be bad if she said too much.
Without saying anything else, Mrs. Lu said goodbye to Concubine Ning and left.
When she returned to Chunhe Hall, Mrs. Lu saw Yunwen discussing something with Huang Zicheng.
"mother."
"I have met my empress."
When Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng saw Lu, they quickly stood up and saluted.
Mrs. Lu nodded slightly, glanced at Huang Zicheng, and told Zhu Yunwen: "Yunwen comes to the back hall with my mother. I will tell you something in detail."
It's not that Lu doesn't trust Huang Zicheng, but as a princess and now a widow, avoiding suspicion is very important to Lu.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace are all watching, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings if you say more than a few words.
Fortunately, it is best to have no contact at all. In this regard, Lu also cares about his reputation.
Huang Zicheng bowed in salute and watched Mrs. Lu leading Zhu Yunwen into the back hall.
There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Originally, he was already at the end of his rope and thought that for now, Emperor Yunwen's grandson could not compare with Zhu Xiongying who had never appeared before.
His Majesty's attitude is to decide everything, even Long Chu is on board, and one can completely guess how much he likes him.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu suddenly enlightened Emperor Sun Yunwen and even proposed a strategy of advancing to attack and retreating to defend.
When Zhu Yunwen relayed some of Lu's words to Huang Zicheng, he was stunned.
It can still be like this, which shows how meticulous Lu's thoughts are.
In the back hall, after Mrs. Lu sat down, she asked her maid to close the doors and windows tightly, and then she retreated to the left and right.
"To explain your affairs to my mother, I told your Majesty after the morning court today." Ms. Lu asked.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said: "The emperor proposed many restructuring strategies at the morning meeting today, and asked the ministers to start discussing whether it is feasible."
"After the morning court, the emperor summoned all the ministers and went directly to the Huagai Hall to discuss matters."
Zhu Yunwen, who didn't talk to Grandpa Huang about the eldest brother issue yesterday, looks like he has no chance today.
Lu frowned slightly after hearing this. She didn't care about the next day or two. She just wanted her son to confess the matter about Zhu Xiongying to His Majesty as soon as possible.
It is easier to understand some things openly than in secret now.
After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he hesitated a little, but he still said: "Mother, this morning, Grandpa Huang talked about the reform of the system into sharing the land with the land divided into acres, which means that from now on, the Ming Dynasty will abolish the land tax."
"I don't understand why the emperor suddenly abolished the Ding tax. Now the annual revenue of the national treasury is not very good. Wouldn't it be more difficult?"
Mrs. Lu frowned and said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is your Majesty's decree. I can't say anything to you about this matter."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Lu was suddenly shocked and exclaimed: "It's not good."
"Mom, what's wrong?" Zhu Yunwen asked somewhat confused.
Lu thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have all underestimated your eldest brother. If I guess correctly, this strategy of restructuring was proposed by your eldest brother outside the palace."
"How can you see that after the emperor raised this matter to the emperor earlier, he was opposed by the ministers, but the emperor insisted on doing it, and no one dared to say more."
"How could it be that my eldest brother came up with such a method?"
Zhu Yunwen said with some disbelief.
"The entire system of the Ming Dynasty was formulated by His Majesty with countless efforts. If there were no major changes in these years, he would not easily make changes, let alone those related to taxation."
"Your Majesty will be so insistent only if others interfere."
Lu's heart already had an unpleasant feeling at this moment.
But now Zhu Yunwen didn't pay attention to the consciousness, but asked again: "Isn't this good? If it is really the strategy proposed by the elder brother, it is different from shooting oneself in the foot."
"Anyone with knowledge can see that it is harmful to the interests of our country, the Ming Dynasty, and how stupid it is to cancel the tax."
Hearing the excitement in Zhu Yunwen's voice, Lu couldn't help but reprimanded him: "Ignorance!"
Mrs. Lu felt a little tired. Apart from being as benevolent and generous as his father, his son was really disappointing in other aspects.
This is nothing more than following what others say, without any ability to look at things from outside the outside world.
If it wasn't his biological son, Mrs. Lu would really like to just ignore it and let him go.
The only reason Lu is still insisting is that as a mother and now without a husband, she doesn't want Yun Wen to be too far away from her.
If Yun Wen cannot become the emperor, he will definitely give up the vassal status if he becomes the vassal king. Then he may not be able to look at his son even a few times throughout the year.
"Mom, please don't be angry. The child said something wrong." Zhu Yunwen said a little aggrievedly.
Lu had a feeling that he hated iron but could not become steel, so he explained helplessly: "You must first think about what kind of person your grandpa Huang is. He was the influence that conquered the world and the founder of the Ming Dynasty."
"My mother has said before that the entire constitution of the Ming Dynasty was established under the leadership of your grandpa. You can think of it. Is it possible that your grandpa can't think of it?"
"There are so many things that all the ministers can think of, but your grandpa is still not clear about it. Even if he is not clear about it, the ministers have brought it up, so why do you still insist on it?"
Hearing his mother's words, Zhu Yunwen suddenly realized, but he immediately asked doubtfully: "Yes, mother, why does the emperor still persist? Could it be that he was deceived by his eldest brother?"
Mrs. Lu only felt the veins on her forehead popping up. She had no other thoughts at this moment. She just wanted to summon the eunuchs and beat Huang Zicheng severely in the front hall.
This is how this Hanlin bachelor teaches his son.
I feel that my son Yunwen has become a bad person in this Confucian culture. In terms of intelligence, he is quite consistent with his own age.
My son was so smart when he was a child. What did he learn from these literati?
Apart from being able to speak a few words, there is nothing else.
After taking a deep breath, Lu finally calmed down.
Zhu Yunwen obviously noticed that his mother's complexion was not very good, but he didn't know where he went wrong.
After calming down for a while, Lu explained again: "Since your grandpa Huang can understand, but still persists, there is only one possibility. It is this matter, and there is a corresponding follow-up strategy."
"Your Majesty is just pushing out the first half to test the reaction and ability of the ministers. If my guess is correct, your Majesty is telling the real ministers the follow-up strategies in the Huagai Palace.
.”
In the canopy palace.
The ministers of various ministries, as well as several dignitaries, had shocked faces and disbelief in their eyes.
