After receiving Emperor Hongzhi's order, Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This is related to the health of Emperor Hongzhi, which is naturally a top priority. Forget about taking a vacation, think more about how to handle this matter well to ensure that Emperor Hongzhi can perfectly and successfully remove the section.
The rotten appendix is the important thing.
Liu Jin left the palace and sat in the carriage, thinking constantly in his mind.
Appendicitis was considered a very minor operation in later generations and could be successfully treated at any hospital.
But now is the Ming Dynasty, and the field of surgery has just begun to be studied. Although appendix removal is a minor operation, in this era where there are no anti-inflammatory drugs, no sterile operating rooms, and no various advanced instruments, it is difficult to perform such an operation.
, the risk is still very high.
This kind of thing falls on his own shoulders. He should have cured Emperor Hongzhi. If something unexpected happened during the operation, Liu Jin would inevitably be implicated.
However, Emperor Hongzhi trusted him very much and asked him to take charge of this matter. Liu Jin also felt that he was under a lot of pressure and had no time to think about the holidays.
"Go to Daming Medical College!"
After thinking about it, Liu Jin decided to go to Daming Medical College first and summon Zhang Zhigang, Li Anyuan and others to discuss the matter carefully. It was better to leave this professional matter to professionals and let them find ways to complete this mission.
Liu Jin took the order and went out to handle the matter. In the palace's study room of Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi also began to deal with some state affairs.
Although the operation will definitely not be performed in the next month or two, according to Zhang Zhigang's diagnosis, this chronic intestinal carbuncle may turn into an acute intestinal carbuncle at any time. Once it turns into an acute intestinal carbuncle, it will be very dangerous.
So before he started receiving treatment, Emperor Hongzhi had to think about the future.
"Summon the prince immediately."
The first thing that Emperor Hongzhi thought of was to call Zhu Houzhao over. There were some things that he had to explain to the prince, and also to the important officials in the court who were present.
Soon, Zhu Houzhao came to Emperor Hongzhi's study room, with tears in his eyes. On the way here, he already knew the cause of the incident.
"Father!"
As soon as Zhu Houzhao arrived, he immediately threw himself into the arms of Emperor Hongzhi and cried.
Even though Zhu Houzhao was very naughty and seemed very unreliable, the relationship between him and Emperor Hongzhi was very deep. Emperor Hongzhi loved him very much and used to secretly take Zhu Houzhao out of the palace to play.
Now that he learned that Emperor Hongzhi suffered from intestinal carbuncle, Zhu Houzhao was also very sad and ugly. Although the capital was shouting about waiting for me to become emperor, when he actually heard that Emperor Hongzhi might not live long, he still cried like a
Just like children.
"Silly boy, why are you crying?"
Emperor Hongzhi touched Zhu Houzhao's head happily. Fortunately, he knew his illness and his situation, and he had time to arrange everything.
"Father, don't worry. With Old Liu in charge of this matter, there will definitely be no problem."
Zhu Houzhao touched his tears and said to Emperor Hongzhi.
"I also believe in him, so I let him take charge of this matter."
"So you shouldn't cry. You are the heir to a country, the prince, and the future emperor. You have grown up and should look like a prince."
"If one day my father is gone, you will have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Ming Dynasty and pass on the legacy of our ancestors."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said.
"Father~"
When Zhu Houzhao heard what Emperor Hongzhi said, he cried even more sadly. After all, he was only a teenager.
"Okay, don't cry anymore."
"From now on, I will gradually hand over all matters in this court to you."
"You have to learn to deal with national affairs, and you can no longer be as willful as before."
Emperor Hongzhi consoled him.
"Yes~"
Zhu Houzhao wiped his tears and replied.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the ministers present. Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Zhang Mao from the Fifth Army Governor's Office were all important ministers in the court.
"Dear princes, starting from today, I will gradually hand over all matters to the prince. The prince is young and does not understand many things and lacks experience. He still needs more assistance from all my dear princes."
After hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, everyone couldn't help but their eyes turned slightly red. Emperor Hongzhi had already begun to arrange what would happen after he got up.
After following Emperor Hongzhi for many years, everyone still has a deep affection for Emperor Hongzhi. He was a good emperor and treated his ministers quite well.
Except for several major cases that occurred in the past few years, where the people below went too far, causing Long Yan to become furious and many people died, Emperor Hongzhi has always been very gentle.
When working with such an emperor, everyone feels at ease. If they have any thoughts or opinions, they can speak out without any worries.
But once the person in charge of the family changes, the emperor and his ministers, everyone's good days may come to an end.
"Your Majesty~"
Liu Jian's eyes were red and he cried out in tears.
"I'm not doing well. I'm just arranging some things now. Then I can concentrate on treating my illness. When my illness is cured, you and I can discuss state affairs together."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty can definitely do it."
Liu Jian wiped away his tears, smiled and nodded.
At this time, important ministers such as Ji Zhong, the Minister of Household Affairs, Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, Min Gui, the Minister of Punishments, and Lu Jian, the Minister of Works, also received the order from Emperor Hongzhi and hurriedly came to the study room.
"Lu Jian, how is the construction of my mausoleum going?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Lu Jian and asked about the construction of his mausoleum.
According to the tradition since ancient times, every emperor will build a mausoleum for himself from the day he ascends the throne. Generally speaking, the longer the emperor lives, the larger and more luxurious the mausoleum will be built. On the contrary, if the emperor is short-lived, this mausoleum will be built.
Mausoleums are generally relatively simple.
"Back to Your Majesty, the main construction of His Majesty's mausoleum has already been completed. However, due to the emergence of cement and glass, some design modifications were also made to His Majesty's mausoleum, which delayed some construction periods."
Lu Jian thought for a while and replied.
Countless numbers of emperors' tombs have been stolen since ancient times. This is the most important thing to consider when building tombs for emperors in every dynasty.
In the past, sand characters, strips of stone, etc. were usually used for protection, or they were simply built secretly so that no one could find them. However, the tombs of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all gathered together, and there was no way to keep them secret, so
You can think of ways to prevent theft.
The emergence of cement also makes it easier to prevent theft.
The Ministry of Industry specially built a mausoleum for Emperor Hongzhi, so naturally they thought of using cement to build it and would make some changes to the original design.
"Well, hurry up."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly. Lu Jian had also asked him for advice regarding the construction of his mausoleum, so he knew this very well.
In the past two years, the imperial court's tax revenue has increased explosively, the national treasury has been filled, and the funds used to build Emperor Hongzhi's mausoleum have also increased. Naturally, modifications have to be made in all aspects.
"Yes~"
Lu Jian nodded solemnly.
Hearing Emperor Hongzhi ask about his mausoleum, the new ministers couldn't help but start to wonder, is this Emperor Hongzhi going to die?
Generally speaking, only when the emperor is dying will he ask about his own tomb.
Looking at the expressions of Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others, the newcomers Zhong Zhong, Liu Daxia, Lu Jian, Min Gui and others immediately started to make guesses.
But soon, Emperor Hongzhi also asked people to tell the origin and story of the incident, and began to explain the matter.
"From now on, all affairs in the court, unless they are particularly important, will be handled by the prince. I must concentrate on taking good care of my health."
All the important ministers were present, and Emperor Hongzhi gave his instructions again.
"Yes~"
Everyone replied in unison.
As for Zhu Houzhao, he was still very sad at this time, tears kept falling, and there was no joy at all about being the master of the family.
For him, he actually still likes to be a prince, and let Emperor Hongzhi handle national affairs. As for him, he can learn and do things he likes as he pleases.
"Well, let's start from now on."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction, and then motioned for Zhu Houzhao to sit in front of him, and asked the ministers to start reporting some things to Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Highness, Nanzhili is here to report that since the beginning of summer, heavy rains have continued in the south of the Yangtze River, resulting in floods. Suzhou and Yangzhou have been the most severely affected. I request the imperial court to provide disaster relief and reduce taxes."
Soon, someone stood up and asked Zhu Houzhao for instructions.
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao looked at Emperor Hongzhi. Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi did not speak, and seemed to let Zhu Houzhao make the decision himself, Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said: "Instruct the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate money and grain for disaster relief and reduce or reduce taxes for the current year."

"Your Highness, the chief envoy of Cochin came to report that the exiled officials appointed by the imperial court were killed by local mobs. The local mobs were dissatisfied with our Ming rule, did not respect our imperial decrees, killed our Ming officials, and even massacred our Han immigrants."
After handling a matter, another minister soon stood up and asked for instructions.
"Everyone, what do you think about this matter?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Emperor Hongzhi and saw that he still didn't speak. After thinking about it, he asked Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and the others.
"I believe that the imperial court should suppress it forcefully and send a large army to exterminate the mob to safeguard the dignity of our imperial court and the safety of our Han immigrants."
Liu Jian thought about it and said immediately.
"I think what Liu Gong said is true~"
"I also agree."
"..."
"Then just follow Liu Gong's wishes and send an order to the local garrison in Jiaozhi to clear out the local mob."
