Chapter 137 Zhu Di shed tears after learning the truth (three-in-one)
"... Xu Da was born in a peasant family, and was a fellow villager with Mingtai... Emperor Hongwu, and he had been fighting with Emperor Hongwu for a long time.
He is one of the twenty-four generals of Huaixi.
In the 23rd year of Emperor Zhizheng of the Yuan Dynasty, he defeated Chen Youliang in the Battle of Poyang Lake and was appointed as the Left Prime Minister the following year.
In the twenty-fifth year of Zhengzheng (25th year of Zhengzheng Dynasty), his troops captured Huaidong, and two years later they captured Pingjiang and destroyed Zhang Shicheng.
Immediately he was appointed as the general to conquer the captives, and together with his deputy Chang Yuchun, he led the Northern Expedition.
In the first year of Hongwu, he invaded Dadu and overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty...
After that, troops were sent out in successive years to attack the remaining forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and take over Shanxi, Gansu and Shaanxi...
There he made great military exploits, killed many remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, and greatly defeated Timur.
It plays a huge role in conquering the territory..."
In the side hall, Han Cheng's voice sounded.
Here he told Zhu Biao and Zhu Di what he knew about Xu Da.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were also here to listen carefully to Han Cheng's story.
In other words, what Han Cheng told them were all things that they all knew had happened now, and the sentences seemed bland, without any impassioned words.
But listening to Han Cheng's story, combined with what they knew about the many things that General Xu Da had done, the two of them couldn't help but feel excited about it.
Looking at all the things the general has done, these juniors are really excited!
Because this is not only the great achievements achieved by the general, but also the process of the Han people expelling the Tartars and restoring China.
It is the process of the Han people who were trampled underfoot, humiliated and abused step by step by Yuanting, and stood up again step by step and straightened their backs!!!
And the more this happens, the more they worry about Xu Da's health, fearing that Xu Da will be unfortunate in the future!
Once this happens, it will really be a big loss for Ming Dynasty!
"Six years after Hongwu, Xu Da led his army to guard Beiping and was on the front line against the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
While guarding Peiping, Xu Da trained soldiers, promoted farming, and consolidated border defenses, preventing the Hu people from going south to herd horses!
While guarding Beiping, he fought many times with the remnants of Yuanting and destroyed many Yuanting thieves...
Xu Da was a cautious man, good at running the army, experienced hundreds of battles, and made immortal achievements during his life as a soldier!
Emperor Hongwu relied on it to build the Great Wall, and later generations also considered him to be the first contributor to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, ranking first among the founding 'six kings'!"
Han Cheng's voice continued to sound.
Both Zhu Biao and Zhu Di stood up straight involuntarily when Han Cheng said these words.
This is respect for Xu Da.
Especially the King of Yan, Zhu Di, looked even more proud.
After all, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty and the Military God of the Ming Dynasty that Han Cheng talked about were his father-in-law!
"...General Xu Da later suffered from back carbuncle and could not be cured after a long period of treatment.
Emperor Hongwu sent many outstanding doctors to diagnose and treat him, but the results were repeated over and over again and never got better..."
When they heard Han Cheng talk about Xu Da's illness, both Zhu Biao and Zhu Di couldn't help but become nervous.
Especially Zhu Di clenched his fists nervously and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
I'm afraid that I will get unacceptable results from Han Cheng next!
What he wanted to hear was that his father-in-law's illness was cured and he could continue to guard Peiping, nothing else.
Han Cheng glanced at Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, took a deep breath, paused, and said: "I know what your two highnesses want to hear and what they are most concerned about.
However, I still want to give your two highnesses a warning in advance.
Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature, and although it is uncomfortable, we have to accept it.
Some people have said that illness is actually not a bad thing, because this kind of torture can reduce people's attachment to the world and make them less afraid of death.
Otherwise, if a person who has always been healthy and has no disasters suddenly dies, how sad would he be at that moment..."
But Han Cheng's words like this at this time did not have any good comfort effect.
On the contrary, it suddenly made the already tense atmosphere even more tense and heavy.
Zhu Biao's face turned pale. Not only did Zhu Di's face turn white, his body could not help but sway.
Although what Han Cheng said just now did not explicitly state Xu Da's ending, the two of them already knew that the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty would fall soon...
Han Cheng said nothing and stood here waiting for Zhu Biao and Zhu Di to gradually recover from the impact of this incident.
The first person to come back to his senses and become calmer was Zhu Biao.
This is not just because Zhu Biao is older than Zhu Di, handles more government affairs, encounters more major events, and has a better psychological quality than Zhu Di.
It's not just because Xu Da is Zhu Di's father-in-law, not his father-in-law.
It was because he had already learned a lot of similar news from Han Cheng.
The first time I got it was because my mother was about to pass away, and the other time I got him directly because he, the current prince, died young before he ascended the throne, which led to his father's white-haired man giving away his black-haired man.
After experiencing the baptism of these two incidents, Zhu Biao heard the news from Han Cheng that Xu Da might not have much time to live. His ability to bear it was much stronger.
Although I don't want to accept it, it's not impossible to accept it.
After all, Xu Da's condition is not very good now.
"Fourth..."
After Zhu Biao called Zhu Di, he put his hand on his shoulder.
Zhu Di took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, and calmed himself down.
Looking at Han Cheng, he said: "Okay, get ready. If you have anything to say, just say it. How long...how long does my father-in-law have to live?"
After Zhu Di asked this question, both Zhu Biao and Zhu Di's eyes fell on Han Cheng.
Han Chengdao: "Later, Xu Da's condition gradually worsened. In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu specially sent Xu Da's eldest son, Xu Huizu, to express his condolences. In October of that year, he was brought back to Nanjing.
He also ordered that doctors from all over the world be summoned to diagnose and treat him.
But there hasn't been any great improvement.
In the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, on February 27th, Xu Da, who was seriously ill and had run out of oil, passed away at the age of fifty-four..."
In the side hall where Han Cheng lived, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn as Han Cheng's voice fell.
Zhu Di's face turned pale, and his body shook and he almost fell.
Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to hold him.
But even so, his legs were still extremely weak.
It was as if all the strength in his body had been drained away at this moment.
He trembled, dragged his weak legs, and sat on the chair, still panicking.
My father-in-law is going to die like this?
The Great Wall of Ming Dynasty is gone?!
Although we know that life, old age, illness and death are inevitable, it still makes people feel extremely uncomfortable when it is really their turn or the turn of the people they care about.
It is now August 16, the fifteenth year of Hongwu, which means that in almost two and a half years, my father-in-law will be gone?
My father-in-law is still very young! He has just turned fifty...
In the previous invasion of Tibet, the veteran general Deng Yu, the Duke of Wei, was defeated.
Now, even Xu Da, the military god of the Ming Dynasty, is gone?
Although people are destined to die from the moment they are born.
But after learning that Xu Da only lived to be fifty-four years old, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di still felt uncomfortable and were unwilling to accept such a result.
The atmosphere in the side hall was extremely depressing.
"Han Cheng, can you cure the general's illness?"
After a while, Zhu Biao reached out and patted Lao Si on the shoulder to signal Zhu Di to be stronger, then looked at Han Cheng and asked.
Zhu Biao's words woke up Zhu Di who was in a strong shock. Zhu Di also looked at Han Cheng with eager eyes, which could even be described as pleading.
I hope that Han Cheng, a latecomer, can create a miracle and cure his father-in-law's illness.
However, they were both disappointed.
Under the earnest gazes of the two men, Han Cheng slowly shook his head.
"There's not much I can do about this thing."
Han Cheng was telling the truth. After all, he was just an author with some carpenter skills in later generations.
If he didn't know Xu Da better, he wouldn't even know the name of the disease called back carbuncle.
But even though he knew that there was a disease like back carbuncle, he still didn't know the cause of the disease or the treatment.
Not to mention what drugs are used for treatment.
It's just a bit vague, I think this back carbuncle should be more similar to a sore.
And Xu Da's back carbuncle is obviously more difficult to deal with than ordinary sores and other diseases.
Otherwise, with Xu Da's status and the medical conditions he could enjoy, he would not be put away by back carbuncle.
Han Cheng shook his head, which immediately stunned Zhu Biao and Zhu Di.
It is said that before this, the two of them had great hopes for Han Cheng. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they regarded him as the last straw to treat Xu Da.
But who would have expected that Han Cheng would shake his head so simply and neatly!
It means that he cannot cure back carbuncle.
"You can treat this... severe tuberculosis, an extremely difficult disease, but why can't you cure this back carbuncle?"
Zhu Biao looked at Han Cheng and said anxiously.
Han Cheng shook his head and said helplessly: "Diseases have various causes, and the treatments for different diseases are also different.
There is a saying that every line is like a mountain. In my opinion, this sentence is also applied to diseases.
Similar diseases may be able to learn from each other, but diseases that are too different really have nothing in common..."
Being able to treat Empress Ma was simply an unparalleled way. I exchanged it for isoniazid, a drug that treats tuberculosis, in the Lovers Mall.
But there is basically no pattern to what kind of things will appear in the Lovers Mall.
Han Cheng really couldn't believe that something to treat back carbuncle would be available in the Lover's Mall in the future.
Even if it really came out, he couldn't guarantee that Xu Da's back carbuncle would be cured.
Xu Da's back carbuncle was definitely extremely difficult to deal with, otherwise doctors of this era could have cured it.
He wouldn't lose his life because of this.
"Han Cheng, please save my father-in-law, I really don't want to see him die at such a young age..."
Zhu Di, whose legs were still a little weak, stood up hard and looked at Han Cheng and said this.
While saying this, he also bowed solemnly to Han Cheng.
Zhu Di is undoubtedly an extremely proud person. Although he is easy to talk to in front of his father, eldest brother, and other brothers, he is actually extremely proud in his heart.
But at this time, because of Xu Da's illness, he actually said such words to Han Cheng and made such actions.
This is nothing short of amazing.
From here we can also see how high the status of Xu Da, the father-in-law, is in Zhu Di's heart.
Seeing this, Han Cheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Zhu Di, so that Zhu Di wouldn't have to do this.
"I really can't help it.
General Xu is also a person I admire, and I don't want to see him pass away so early.
If there is really a way, I will tell you directly without you having to tell me..."
But Zhu Di obviously didn't believe Han Cheng's remarks.
Or don’t want to believe it.
I don't want to watch my father-in-law walk towards death step by step.
"Han Cheng, I know that when I met you yesterday, I said some things that I shouldn't have said.
I have some misunderstandings about you.
Not a good attitude toward you.
I admit that I spoke a little loudly at that time, and I admit my fault to you.
You don't remember the faults of small people, so don't take your anger out on my father-in-law.
Please save my father-in-law, as long as you can cure him, I am willing to walk around the streets of Nanjing with my arms bare and carrying a thorn stick on my back to apologize to you!"
Zhu Di almost knelt down before Han Cheng.
As long as he could remember, he had never begged someone like this.
While Han Cheng felt Zhu Di's sincerity, he was also made a little helpless by Zhu Di.
By the way, is he unwilling to treat Xu Da?
There is really no way to cure it!
"Um...fourth brother, calm down.
I really don’t know how to treat him, it’s not that I don’t want to treat him.
What kind of misunderstandings were they yesterday? You did this out of concern and love for Yourong.
Moreover, as far as our relationship is concerned, not to mention anything else, just for the sake of tolerance, if I can treat you, I will definitely do my best and not slack off at all.
I, Han Cheng, am not a narrow-minded person.
Not to mention caring so much about a life-threatening matter..."
Hearing Han Cheng's words, Zhu Di seemed a little absent-minded for a moment.
Could it be that his father-in-law is really hopeless?
He recalled what Han Cheng had just said, and suddenly a light flashed through his mind, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Han Cheng, if you can save my father-in-law, I will let Miaojin stay with you as a child! Let her serve you for the rest of her life!"
In Shouning Palace, in the side hall where Han Cheng lived, Zhu Di's sudden words made Han Cheng stunned.
Xu Miaojin?
What did Zhu Di say?
He was actually willing to let Xu Miaojin become his own child?
Han Cheng was surprised and looked at Zhu Di strangely.
Han Cheng has naturally heard of Xu Miaojin's name.
After all, according to some records that I don’t know whether they are reliable or not, it is said that Xu Miaojin, the third daughter of Xu Da’s family and Zhu Di’s sister-in-law, has many things that need to be investigated deeply between her and Zhu Di.
After Xu Miaoyun passed away, Zhu Di intended to make his sister-in-law Xu Miaojin the queen.
As a result, I don’t know what misunderstandings and conflicts arose, which led to Xu Miaojin not accepting this matter.
And she was extremely stubborn and became a nun.
This became Zhu Di's pain for half his life.
And Zhu Di was also stimulated by this incident. From then on, he never thought about becoming a queen again...
As a result, now, Zhu Di wants to treat Xu Miaojin as a child for himself?
What is this?
However, Han Cheng's stunned and shocked reaction fell into Zhu Di's eyes, but Zhu Di felt that this time, he should have hit the snake seven inches in the face!
It just hit Han Cheng's weakness.
Even if Han Cheng didn't mention his second sister Yourong, he still didn't think of it.
After Han Cheng mentioned Yourong, Zhu Di immediately reacted.
He also felt that Han Cheng was hinting at himself and had some intentions!
It is said that when Han Cheng was treating his mother, he put forward the condition that Yourong must be married to him.
Even if his father threatens to peel the daylilies, it will be of no use.
Finally, as a last resort, Han Cheng had no choice but to agree to allocate the money to him, and then Han Cheng began to treat his mother.
After Han Cheng started treatment, the effect was immediate.
Almost as soon as Han Cheng took action, my mother's condition improved.
Therefore, Zhu Di felt that Han Cheng did not agree to treat his father-in-law because he did not have a good attitude in admitting his mistakes. In fact, he did not offer enough to impress Han Cheng.
His father-in-law's eldest daughter has already married him, and his second daughter has been betrothed to Lao Shisan. Only his third daughter is suitable.
Although Miaojin is a little younger, it can be seen from the looks of Miaoyun and Miaoqing that Miaojin will definitely be a complete beauty when she grows up!
Han Cheng would not lose money if he kept him by his side.
"Han Cheng, you are from later generations, so you must know a lot of things.
Miaojin is indeed young now, but when she grows up, her beauty will definitely not be bad.
Moreover, this is the general's legitimate daughter, so you will certainly not lose out if she stays with you as a little girl!"
Zhu Di was afraid that Han Cheng would disagree, so before Han Cheng could speak, he once again tried his best to sell Xu Miaojin to Han Cheng.
Listening to Zhu Di's words, Han Cheng didn't know what to say to express his feelings.
"I definitely know things about her, she is indeed a complete beauty, and in addition to these, I also know her emotional experience..."
Han Cheng looked at Zhu Di and said.
He decided to have a showdown with Zhu Di and make it clear what he needed to say to avoid others misunderstanding that he was a womanizer.
This led to Yourong misunderstanding him.
If this is really the case, then things will not be good.
"You mean that Miaojin might marry a great man in the future?
So you have concerns?"
Zhu Di looked at Han Cheng and asked.
After asking this question, Zhu Di was basically certain that what he said was the truth of the matter.
When Miao Jin grows up, her beauty will definitely be good.
Moreover, her status is also very respected, as she is the legitimate daughter of her father-in-law.
Of his father-in-law's two daughters, the eldest daughter married him as his head wife, while the second daughter was betrothed to Lao Shisan.
By analogy, it is very likely that Miaojin will be betrothed to a certain prince.
The reason why Han Cheng hesitated on this matter and said such words was because he knew these things and was worried that he would steal one of his younger brothers' wives.
"If this is really the case, then you don't have to worry too much.
Although according to the original history, Miaojin would marry someone else, that person's status was quite noble.
But that's just something in history, it hasn't happened yet, so Han Cheng, you don't have to worry, just keep Miaojin by your side!"
Zhu Di is so good at matchmaking that he wishes he could use stainless steel wire to make the red thread.
Zhu Di was speaking from his heart. Compared with the fate of his father-in-law, it was not important at all that one of his younger brothers was robbed of his destined wife by Han Cheng.
Anyway, as princes, they have countless choices.
I will never be a bachelor.
Without Miaojin, maybe we can meet more and better ones!
Zhu Di didn't feel sorry at all for selling one of his younger brothers' future wives.
Han Cheng looked at Zhu Di, who waved his hand here very boldly and insisted on pushing Xu Miaojin into him, and his heart became even weirder.
"Well...according to what I know, this Xu Miaojin will have an inextricable relationship with you in the future.
Later, you tried to straighten her up, but something happened, which caused Xu Miaojin to have a conflict with you, and she became a nun.
And she will become your pain for the rest of your life..."
Han Cheng decided not to hesitate anymore and needed to tell Zhu Di the truth about some things quickly.
Otherwise, I don't know where Zhu Di will take things next.
If Yourong really gets misunderstood, that would be bad.
"Han Cheng, you really don't have to worry so much. Just take her as a concubine... uh... what did you say?!"
Zhu Di thought that Han Cheng was still struggling because of the person Xu Miaojin married in history, so he continued to refuse.
So I didn't think too much and just prepared to persuade Han Cheng.
Halfway through his words, he realized what Han Cheng had just said and was stunned.
A pair of eyes were as wide as copper bells, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost!
Not only Zhu Di, but also Zhu Biao next to him was like this.
They didn't expect that after going around in a big circle, the final result would be to put Xu Miaojin on the fourth child's head!
Thinking again about whether Xu Miaojin was three years old or not, Zhu Biao was even more shocked.
Looking at Zhu Di, he was speechless.
The look he looked at Zhu Di was as weird as it seemed!
The side hall fell into silence once again.
"Han Cheng, you are talking nonsense. How old am I and how old is Miaojin? How can I be related to Miaojin?"
It took Zhu Di a while to come back to his senses, and he was busy looking at Han Cheng to clarify.
He is loyal and loyal to his wife, so you can't talk nonsense about this!
Besides, the age gap between him and Xu Miaojin is really quite big.
Han Cheng looked at Zhu Di, who was a little flustered by his words, and smiled: "It seems right now that the age gap between you is indeed quite large.
But in the next fourteen or five years, she will be seventeen or eighteen years old, and you will not be forty years old, so the gap will not be too big.
This kind of engagement, where the wife graduated from college and the wife just entered kindergarten, is actually quite a match.
The most important relationship is stable enough.
Moreover, this kind of thing should be very common in your era, especially in wealthy people like you, right?"
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Di followed Han Cheng's thoughts and felt that what Han Cheng said did make some sense.
Although at this time, it seems that the age gap between Miaojin and herself is still quite large.
But when I look back more than ten years later, it makes people feel that the gap is not that big...
After thinking about it for a moment, Zhu Di felt that it seemed to be a good match.
After realizing this idea of his, Zhu Di quickly shook his head secretly and shook this unreliable idea out of his mind.
What are you thinking?!
I am a very loyal person to my wife!
How could such an idea arise?
This is all because Han Cheng led him astray!
I really am not that kind of person!
"Han Cheng, don't talk nonsense about this matter, don't tarnish my innocence! The rabbit isn't even eating the grass beside its nest!"
Zhu Di looked at Han Cheng sternly and expressed his position.
Han Cheng said: "Didn't you just show up and think that there is no need to run all over the mountain when there is grass beside the nest?
Why am I talking nonsense about this matter? Do I need to lie to you?"
Han Cheng's words made Zhu Di speechless for a moment.
There is grass beside the nest, so why run all over the mountain? After thinking about it for a while, this saying actually seems to make some sense.
"You...really didn't lie to me about this?"
Zhu Di looked at Han Cheng and asked with some uncertainty.
It's still a little hard to accept that something like this will happen between me and Miaojin in the future.
"Why did I lie to you? With all this time, I might as well sleep more!"
After confirming that what Han Cheng said was not a lie, Zhu Di was stunned for a while.
If Han Cheng hadn't said this, he would never have imagined that he would do such a thing in the future.
After gradually believing that this incident was true, Zhu Di was stunned for a while.
Some strange thoughts arise in my heart.
I just thought that no matter who Miao Jin married in history, it would have nothing to do with betrothing her to Han Cheng at this time.
With the idea that his future wife would not feel bad for betraying his younger brother, he worked hard to lead Han Cheng here.
How come after all the pulling, Miaojin was pulled onto his head?
Is this tantamount to finding a hat for yourself and putting it on your head?
Or is it the kind where Han Cheng can't even pull the deadlift and has to push it on his head?
After learning the truth, Zhu Di almost burst into tears.
As for Zhu Biao, he was so shocked that he no longer said a word.
Just sitting on the side, silently eating the big melon from the fourth child.
I really didn’t expect that this fourth child with thick eyebrows and big eyes would actually do something like this in the future!
"No! What you said is wrong!"
Zhu Di suddenly shook his head.
"We have a very good relationship with Miaoyun. Even if we really have something to do with Miaojin, we will definitely not have the idea of righting Miaojin up!!"
The daily updates are combined into one chapter and published. The number of chapters is less, but the number of words is still the same, with a base of 6,000 words.
The reason why I combined it into one chapter is to increase the average subscription. If there are two chapters a day, the average subscription cannot be increased. Now the average subscription is 5,600. I will try to hit the average subscription of 6,000 or 7,000.
The starting point charges are based on the number of words. There is a discount for the account number. The more money is spent because the number of words purchased is more. Please explain it to avoid misunderstandings.
This is the best book I have ever written. I will definitely write it well. Thank you for your support.
