The emperor became particularly sensitive at this time, which was also the most dangerous time.
He only dared to nod cautiously.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and glanced at the commander of the Jin Yiwei in front of him: "Go down."
Jiang Wei did not dare to hesitate and immediately bowed and left.
As Jiang Wei left, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lying on his side on the soft couch, looked increasingly gloomy.
The empire he had built with his own hands began to show its impatience as the prince became seriously ill and the holy body he had deliberately created began to show signs of impatience.
This made him very angry. There was no trace of the anger in his heart, but it gave him the idea of rectifying the court again.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Shan Yongnian and others from Taiyuan Hospital who were gathered in the distance.
Seeing the emperor's gaze, Shan Yongnian quickly led people forward.
"Your Majesty, please take more rest."
The emperor's condition is not bad, but after hearing that the prince is seriously ill, his health is inevitably not as good as it was yesterday due to qi and blood stasis, coupled with his age.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Hospital envoy, have the medicines from Tai Hospital been sent out?"
A smile appeared on Shan Yongnian's face: "Fortunately, the emperor's grandson gave me some advice and sent someone to deliver the more powerful solidified allicin to the prince's residence."
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied look, nodded, and closed his eyes slightly.
Shan Yongnian saw that the emperor was really tired now, so he quietly retreated to a distance and stayed in the palace with several other imperial doctors, cooperating with the emperor to play out the scene.
……
A few more days.
Outside the Jinchuan Gate of Yingtian City, at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Qinhuai River.
This time, the Prince of Ming Dynasty’s westward patrol fleet was so majestic that it almost left no room at the intersection of the rivers.
The flag belonging to the prince alone made the defenders at Jiangkou dare not stop him in the slightest.
"How?"
"We are about to arrive at Yingtian City. Isn't the Crown Prince awake yet?"
On the deck of the dragon ship's flagship, the civil and military foreman of the Prince's Western Inspection Team also asked questions to the accompanying leading physician.
The leading physician had a smile on his face, but he sighed softly, shook his head and said: "While we were in Huai'an, we took allicin for the prince, and it initially showed results, suppressing the diseases in the prince's body.
But then there was no progress.
When I was in Yangzhou the day before yesterday, I got the improved solidified allicin sent from Beijing, which further relaxed the condition of the prince.
But..."
The Western Inspection's civil and military foreman's face darkened at the same time.
Now that Ying Tiancheng is behind him, but the prince still shows no sign of waking up, this is not a good thing.
It can be said that it is terrible.
The foreman of the civil servants said in a worried voice: "In half an hour, we will be disembarking at Dongshuiguan of Tongjimen. Do we need to carry the unconscious Crown Prince back to the palace?"
As he spoke, he looked at the foreman of the military commander beside him.
The foreman's face was cold, and blood was pulsing in his temples: "The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion has informed us that the military guards of the Pro-Military Mansion have also sent troops and horses to clear the Dongshuiguan Pier. Can the Crown Prince enter the palace directly from West Chang'an Street?
”
Woo...
Buzz...
Buzzing...
In the distance, on the east wall of Yingtian City, the sound of bells and drums could be heard.
Several people on the deck were shocked.
……
"Third Master, we will be at Zhengyangmen in another quarter of an hour!"
Northeast of Yingtian City, on the Guandao Wilderness northeast of Xuanwu Lake, a team of no more than a hundred people was galloping toward the north gate of Yingtian City.
Sun Cheng, a member of the Yulin Guards, drove his horse forward to clear the way for the entire team.
Zhu Yunxi, who had just disembarked from the boat on the south bank of the Yangtze River half a quarter of an hour ago, was covered with dust in just a short time.
His face was tense and his lips were white and chapped.
Rushing from Fengyang, Zhongdu, to Tiantian, he kept sending troops and horses to inquire about the news, and from time to time he received news about the prince's location and the direction of the capital.
Hurrying slowly, we finally hurried outside Huitian City on the day when the prince's father returned to the city.
He never thought that the prince's condition would be so serious.
The allicin prepared by the imperial doctors who were the foremen of the Western Tour did not work.
Ying Tiancheng's improvement progress was rapid, and the allicin purified and solidified many times was sent to the prince's residence, but it did not have much effect.
But the prince has not yet woken up and is in a coma!
What went wrong?
Zhu Yunxi wondered why the allicin he had worked so hard to produce didn't work as it should.
At this time, the sun is setting in the sky.
Orange light is projected from the west to the east, shining on the walls of Yingtian City.
At this moment, in Zhu Yunxi's eyes, the glorious sunset in the south of the Yangtze River in the past was completely gone. He only felt that the sunset was like a beacon, shining on this stone city.
Like a nameless evil fire, it enveloped the entire Jinling City.
He has heard Sun Cheng’s previous report.
Zhu Yunxi rode his horse as fast as an arrow off the string.
His figure was still steady and steady, and he turned around to look at the hundreds of people who were accompanying him behind him.
In addition to serving as his personal bodyguards, the Yulin Guard officers and soldiers led by Sun Cheng were the ten generals and hundreds of servants of the Tang family that he brought back from Fengyang City.
Although they are said to be servants, although their appearance is not impressive, under the cover of simple and old linen clothes, they are really just servants, but in reality, they are not inferior to the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Guard.
Zhu Yunxi knew at that time that this was the force that Tang He, the Duke of Xin Guo, had left to him as a weapon that he could directly control after returning to Beijing.
"Sun Cheng, enter Taiping Gate and Bei'an Gate, and march straight into the palace without stopping. Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"
Looking back from behind, Zhu Yunxi raised his head forward and shouted loudly.
Sun Cheng received the order and responded by popping out the Yan Ling knife half an inch from his waist.
This is so that if something happens, he can draw his sword and fight back as quickly as possible.
In the capital, hundreds of war horses were galloping, quickly attracting the attention of the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Guard who were now ordered to strictly guard Yingtian.
Wait until Zhu Yunxi's team approaches Yingtian City.
The Harvest officers and soldiers were shocked and immediately raised their arms and shouted.
"It's the Prince of Huaiyou County!"
"The emperor's grandson is back!"
"Open the gate quickly! Open the city gate! Let the emperor and his grandson enter the city and return to the palace!"
The officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards, who had already passed Zhu Yunxi and rushed to the front to form a charge formation with Sun Cheng, were swept by a gust of wind and passed through the Taiping Gate in the north of Yingtian City.
Zhu Yunxi glanced from under the city gate with a silent expression.
The group of people really went straight to the Bei'an Gate on the north side of the imperial city without stopping.
"Once you enter Bei'anmen, you will reach the Imperial City!"
Zhu Yunxi, who was riding on horseback, muttered in a low voice, after entering the imperial city and passing through the Xuanwu Gate, you will find the imperial palace!
Cross Bei'anmen!
The Yulinwei camp of the imperial army is located on both sides of Bei'anmen Inner Street.
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways, and the gate of the camp was closed.
On the sentry tower, the officers and soldiers on duty stared.
Behind the camp wall, the officers and soldiers on patrol did not need to stop, but turned to look at the emperor's grandson rushing outside the camp.
"Third Master, we have arrived at Xuanwu Gate!"
Sun Cheng, who was rushing at the front, reined in his horse and stopped suddenly, his horse neighing.
Zhu Yunxi raised his head and looked at the locked Xuanwu Gate in front of him.
He rode his horse to the city gate, raised his head and looked towards the city: "This king returns to the palace! Open the city gate!"
"But the Prince of Huaiyou County has returned to Beijing?"
