In the palace, Emperor Chengwu was wondering why Zhu Tianjiang came here at this time. At this time, the mother of the seventh princess, Queen Rong, was also in the palace. Ever since Emperor Chengwu announced the marriage, Queen Rong was in a very uncomfortable state of mind. She knew Her daughter also loved Zhu Tianjiang deeply. Concubine Rong felt a little distressed every time she saw her daughter showing love to Zhu Tianjiang's poems.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Tianjiang, bow to the Emperor~Kowtow to the Queen~!" Zhu Tianjiang stuck out his butt and pretended to kneel down. He was waiting for Emperor Chengwu to speak, and then he would be free of ceremony. Who knew that Emperor Chengwu would not do it? He said that he must be allowed to bow down.
Zhu Tianjiang stuck his butt out and waited for a long time but did not hear Emperor Cheng Wu speak. He mentally cursed and knelt down helplessly.
"Tianjiang, do you feel uncomfortable kneeling down to me?" Emperor Chengwu looked at Zhu Tianjiang a little angrily, kneeling down to worship the emperor is a etiquette given by heaven and earth, why does this kid have to work so hard every time.
"Your Majesty, no, it's mainly because I injured my knee from knocking on it. It's not very convenient for me to kneel down and stand up again. I'll get some cushions later and promise that next time I'll kneel down and worship you when I'm two hundred feet away from you." Zhu Tianjiang smiled. He argued.
"Haha, you kid is reasonable anyway, get up." Emperor Cheng Wu smiled at Zhu Tianjiang's joke.
"Tianjiang, you went to Tianqing and made such a great contribution, but I haven't rewarded you yet." Queen Rong looked at Zhu Tianjiang and said with a smile.
Although Emperor Wu was very wary of Zhu Tianjiang, Empress Rong felt good about Zhu Tianjiang in her heart. If Zhu Tianjiang hadn't fought back to the capital to rescue the palace, she might have become Empress Feng's prisoner now.
"Thank you, Queen. I was demoted from the capital during your last ceremony. I haven't come yet and I am anxious to congratulate you. If you really want to reward me, then let the seven princesses be given to me by the emperor." Zhu Tianjiang smiled playfully. said.
Emperor Chengwu grabbed a piece of fruit on the table and threw it over, "This kid is very courageous and wants to take over it. Believe it or not, I will let you enter the palace as a eunuch." Emperor Chengwu laughed and scolded.
Zhu Tianjiang took the fruit and ate it unceremoniously. Empress Rong felt a little sad when she heard this. Zhu Tianjiang was indeed a rare young man in the Dafeng Dynasty who was proficient in all kinds of literary, Taoist and military strategies. It would indeed be a blessing for Xin'er to marry him. Unfortunately, they no longer have this fate in this life.
Emperor Chengwu looked at Zhu Tianjiang's shameless look. Sometimes he felt that Zhu Tianjiang looked sincere in this way. As an emperor, he did not want ministers to be submissive in front of him. Of course, he dared to be like Zhu Tianjiang. It is also a rare species.
"Tianxiang, your boy is not entering the palace just to eat this fruit, right?" Emperor Chengwu asked strangely.
"Your Majesty, I just came from His Highness Xuanzhu. I believe you should know about His Highness the Fourth Highness's condition." Zhu Tianjiang looked at Emperor Cheng Wu and said.
Emperor Chengwu was startled. Not many people knew the true condition of this matter. The hospital announced that he just suffered from a little cold. Could it be that Zhu Tianjiang had already learned the truth?
"Tiancheng, what do you mean by this? Could it be that my son is sick and I, the father, don't know about it?" Emperor Cheng Wu asked in return.
"In this case, let me tell you frankly. Your Highness Xuanzhu is ill, and I may be able to cure it."
"What~you~can you cure me?" Emperor Chengwu lost his usual composure and stood up suddenly.
Queen Rong didn't know that Xuanzhu had severe typhoid fever. Seeing Emperor Chengwu's excitement, Queen Rong felt strange. Could it be that Emperor Chengwu's choice for the crown prince was Xuanzhu? Otherwise, why would he be so worried?
"Tianjiang, do you know about Xuanzhu's condition?" Emperor Chengwu said and glanced at Queen Rong. He felt that Zhu Tianjiang must not know the truth. Otherwise, he would not have said such arrogant words.
"Your Majesty, severe typhoid fever is not incurable, but it must be treated with the right symptoms." Zhu Tianjiang said relaxedly.
"What, severe typhoid fever?" Queen Rong stood up in shock.
Emperor Chengwu glanced at Empress Rong angrily, winked at Wei Zhenghai, and the eunuchs on duty immediately withdrew.
"Heaven descends, are you serious about this?" Emperor Chengwu's hands were trembling slightly. He only had these two sons left. Emperor Chengwu had been holding back his grief in front of all the ministers these days.
"Your Majesty, I'm just saying that it may be curable, but I can't guarantee that I'm completely sure. However, I'm at least 70% certain."
Zhu Tianjiang didn't dare to take over everything. If Xuanzhu was executed by her, it would be a huge crime. However, she had to give Emperor Chengwu some confidence, otherwise she would never let Zhu Tianjiang take action.
treat.
Emperor Chengwu and the Queen looked at Zhu Tianjiang in surprise. Even the imperial doctors were helpless to deal with this kind of disease, but Zhu Tianjiang actually said there was a way to treat it? This guy couldn't be kidding, right?
"Tianxiang, if you can really cure Zhu'er, I will agree to whatever conditions you want." Emperor Cheng Wu said firmly.
Emperor Chengwu seemed to see hope. Zhu Tianjiang had repeatedly created miracles. Maybe he had some folk remedies. During this period, Emperor Chengwu kept asking the hospital to search for folk prescriptions. He couldn't bear to see Xuanzhu continue like this.
Lose weight.
Zhu Tianjiang also saw that Emperor Chengwu definitely showed his true feelings this time. Since Xuancan disappeared and Xuanming died in battle, Emperor Chengwu cherished these two princes even more. At his age, even if he can have a few more children, he still wants to
It would be difficult to cultivate them. In twenty years, no one knows what the world will be like, let alone whether it will be a boy or a girl.
"Your Majesty, Tiansheng came here to ask for orders, not because he wants any reward. To be honest, although Xuanzhu is a prince, I have always treated him as a friend. No matter he is a royal son or a poor person in the world, as long as he is my
My friend, Tianjiang cannot just sit idly by. In addition, if Tianjiang is lucky enough to be able to restore Xuanzhu's noble body, I hope the emperor will allow Hong Xiaoqing to enter the palace as the royal wife." Zhu Tianjiang said neither humble nor overbearing.
Emperor Chengwu and Empress Rong couldn't help but feel a little moved when they heard that. There has always been a heart-to-heart between the courtiers of the world and the royal family. Although the two princes have many disciples and many officials who have taken refuge in them, it is just like making a bet.
Make plans for the future. Even Emperor Chengwu, who is the lord of Dafeng, doesn't want to have a true friend. Even Wei Zhan and Emperor Chengwu don't have the feeling of a friend who talks about everything.
"Goddess, I'm happy for Emperor Xuanzhu to have a friend like you. If you can make Emperor Xuanzhu recover, I'm sure about this marriage!" What Emperor Cheng Wu needs most now is
To save his son's life, as for Hong Xiaoqing's identity, it is no longer important.
Queen Rong looked at Emperor Cheng Wu, then at Zhu Tianjiang, and said softly, "Tianjiang, I heard that this Hong Xiaoqing is your sister-in-law? I don't know if the rumor is true or not?"
"Back to the Queen, Hong Xiaoqing is indeed my beloved sister, but I have no suspicion of being attached to her. Your Highness Xuanzhu and my beloved sister are in love with each other. All lovers in the world should become dependents."
"Tianxiang, you misunderstood. I have no other intentions. Since she is your sister-in-law, what kind of reward should I give her? Your Majesty, do you think you should let me reward her with a fourth-grade talented woman?" Queen Rong said, looking at Emperor Chengwu.
When Zhu Tianjiang heard this, he understood Queen Rong's intentions. If Hong Xiaoqing wanted to marry into the royal family in a dignified manner, he had to have a high-sounding identity. Queen Rong's edict could completely transform Hong Xiaoqing from a grass chicken into a golden phoenix.
Emperor Chengwu nodded slightly. In many aspects, Empress Rong was much better than the former Empress Feng. If Empress Rong had not given birth to a son, the position of queen would have been hers. As a queen mother-in-law, The most important thing in the world is to help the emperor relieve the world's worries.
Knowing that Xuanzhu's disease could be cured, Emperor Chengwu was in a good mood. He actually walked out of the Qian Palace and asked Zhu Tianjiang to accompany him for a walk in the imperial garden.
"Tianxiang, from now on, everything in Tai Hospital will be at your disposal. No matter what kind of medicine is used, you can just order it. In addition, I hope that before Xuanzhu gets better, it will not be announced to the outside world for the time being." Emperor Chengwu looked at the garden. The withered flower branches inside said silently.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This matter is only known to a few people. However, even if someone knows it, it doesn't matter."
Emperor Chengwu shook his head, "In the spring of next year, I will establish a crown prince. Many ministers in the court are choosing their positions. Once they learn that Xuanzhu has an incurable disease, they will probably flock to Xuanle. Under the door."
"Your Majesty, wouldn't that be better? It would save the two brothers from fighting for power." Zhu Tianjiang said nonchalantly.
Emperor Chengwu turned around and looked at Zhu Tianjiang for a long time, "Why, aren't you worried that I will pass on the title of crown prince to Xuan Le?"
"Your Majesty, as a minister, I, as a minister, have nothing to worry about about the royal family. Anyway, I don't like being an official. His Highness Xuan Le didn't like me and kicked me out of the capital. I am so happy and free. "
After hearing this, Emperor Chengwu laughed a few times. He felt that chatting with Zhu Tianjiang made him feel very relaxed. Emperor Chengwu found it very helpful to Zhu Tianjiang's straightforward way of speaking.
"Oh my God, I admire you for having such a state of mind at such a young age. However, I hope you can make a fortune for me and help me for several more decades."
"Don't worry, even a donkey needs a break from grinding. I've been running around a lot in the past year, and the emperor must allow me to enjoy a few days of peace of mind. Besides, ministers don't Easy, good medicine tastes bitter but no one likes it. An upright minister like Taifu Wang has been an upright official all his life, but none of the ministers in the court bother him." Zhu Tianjiang said unceremoniously.
Emperor Chengwu laughed a few times when Zhu Tianjiang said it. Even though it was a little crooked, it was very realistic. Everyone knew that Taifu Wang was a good person, but even Emperor Chengwu was a little annoyed with him. Emperor Chengwu also knew , if Zhu Tianjiang wants to assist Dafeng, the best choice is to make Xuanzhu the crown prince. But in his heart, he is still optimistic about Xuanle.
"Alas~! If my two sons had your state of mind and calmness, I would be relieved." After saying this, Emperor Chengwu looked at Zhu Tianjiang and suddenly asked, "Tianjiang, do you know why I let Xuan Le
Stay outside the customs?"
Zhu Tianjiang's heart moved and he said with a smile, "Don't you just want to take my credit? I understand."
"Hmph, my prince, do you still need these vain achievements? My real intention is not to let Xuan Le know that his younger brother has an incurable disease, thus losing his vigilance and fighting spirit. If Xuan Le wants to secure the throne, he must
You have to rely on your own ability to control the world. While my body is still strong, I will put him in the barracks to forge it, and I will experience how hard it is to win this country." The smile on Emperor Cheng Wu's face disappeared, and there seemed to be something in his eyes.
The profound feeling of traveling through time and space.
Zhu Tianjiang was stunned for a long time, and now he realized that Emperor Chengwu had gone to great lengths to cultivate the next generation. Sometimes, Emperor Chengwu even deliberately provoked troubles between brothers, causing the two to fight openly and secretly, in order to cultivate a new generation.
A shrewd emperor.
In Zhu Tianjiang's view, Emperor Chengwu probably had another purpose in letting Xuanle go to Beiguan, which was to establish his own system in the army to prepare for the future confrontation with the Guo family in Zhennan. Emperor Chengwu had
After learning the experience of the late emperor's hasty death, he began to plan for the future while he was still healthy.
Zhu Tianjiang could tell from Emperor Chengwu's words that Xuanle had basically become the first choice for the crown prince. Going deeper, Zhu Tianjiang realized that Emperor Chengwu was beginning to fear Guo Tianxin from Zhennan Camp.
, fearing that Guo Jiajun would be the dominant one in the Dafeng military system.
It seems that Emperor Cheng Wu will make some major adjustments to the military after he establishes the crown prince in the spring. Taking advantage of the clear sky and stability, he will gradually place Xuanle's troops in the northern camp for training. After forming a certain strength,
It's also a good way to keep Dafeng's country unshakable.
Zhu Tianjiang is no longer interested in these. No matter who becomes the crown prince, he is planning to move his family south after his wedding and build his own paradise in Shutian. What Zhu Tianjiang has to do now is to do his best to his friends.
With his heart, he pulled Xuanzhu back from the hands of death.
