Lao Zhu looked at the crying baby, smiled, and then stopped moving.
Yunxi pushed Lao Zhu gently, and after his death, Lao Zhu could no longer maintain his original posture and lay down on the couch. At this time, Yunxi seemed to have discovered that Lao Zhu had passed away and started crying again.
But Yunxi didn't cry loudly, but sobbed softly. He wanted to cry loudly, but he couldn't cry like that.
He climbed on Lao Zhu's body and said: "Grandpa! Grandpa!" Zhu Song and others outside the house heard the shouting and pushed the door in. Seeing this scene, they all knelt down and started crying. The maids and eunuchs outside the house
Hearing the cry, they all started to cry. Soon after, the bell rang, and everyone in the capital knew that His Majesty had passed away!
Concubine Guo Ning sobbed, walked to Yunxi and said to him: "Your Highness, now is not the time to cry here. There are many things outside waiting for Your Highness to deal with."
But Yunxi didn't hear Concubine Guo Ning's first cry. His heart was filled with: "Grandpa is dead. From now on, no one will be as close to me as Grandpa, teach me, and protect me from wind and rain."
'
Although he had been mentally preparing for Lao Zhu's death as early as the beginning of this year, when Lao Zhu really collapsed, he still felt very sad and at a loss. Now he just wants to cry here.
, until Zhu Yuanzhang woke up.
Concubine Guo Ning had to call him over and over again, and finally shook his body directly to get Yunxi, who had made her voice hoarse from crying, to turn around.
Concubine Guo Ning said: "Your Highness! No, Your Majesty! You are already the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can you keep acting like this? How can the emperor's spirit in heaven wish you to be like this!"
Zhu Song also said: "Yun, Your Majesty, my father wants you to make Ming Dynasty stronger, not to let you cry here!"
Only then did Yunxi regain his composure and slowly stopped crying. Concubine Guo Ning took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears and said: "Now the Ming Dynasty has been handed over to you. You can only lead the Ming Dynasty to become stronger."
The best tribute to Emperor Daxing, I believe Emperor Daxing doesn’t want you to cry here all the time.”
Yunxi also wiped his tears with his hands and said: "Yes, you are right. Grandpa gave me the country of Ming Dynasty, not for me to cry here." After saying that, he bowed to Concubine Guo Ning and said again.
: "Thank you, ma'am."
Concubine Guo Ning was so panicked that she immediately stepped aside and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it."
Yunxi walked to the courtyard and called Wang Bu. At this time, Wang Bu, like other palace maids and eunuchs, was kneeling on the ground crying. When he heard Yunxi's cry, he hurriedly got up and walked over. Yunxi called Su Huai'en and
Li Jinzhong called over, and several strong eunuchs were also called over.
Yunxi pointed at Li Jinzhong and said, "Li Jinzhong obeys the order."
Li Jinzhong had bad thoughts in his mind, but he still knelt down as a reflex.
Yunxi said: "Emperor Daxing's decree: I am very pleased with Li Jinzhong's service. I want him to follow suit, so I specially give Li Jinzhong to be buried with him." Then he said to the eunuchs around him: "You still haven't carried out the decree of Emperor Daxing?"
The surrounding eunuchs were stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped forward to drag Li Jinzhong away. Li Jinzhong could not care about anything else at this time, and said loudly: "How could the late emperor make such a decree? This..." Then his mouth was covered.
lived, and then he was dragged to a secluded place, and then he died. But a whole body was left.
After Li Jinzhong was dragged away, Yunxi stopped paying attention to him. Yunxi stared at the trembling Su Huai'en beside him and said: "Don't worry, Emperor Daxing will leave you to continue to help me in charge of the harem." Su Huai'en recovered.
And give thanks.
Then Yunxi said to him: "Immediately order the entire palace to mourn. I have heard the bell just now and sent someone to notify the officials of the Ministry of Rites to enter the palace and go to Jinshen Hall." Su Huai'en replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yunxi said to Wang Bu: "You are now the deputy of Eunuch Su, assisting him in handling affairs in the palace." Wang Bu also replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yunxi walked to the palace where Xiyao was and asked the attendant: "How is Xiyao doing now?"
The servant said: "Back to the palace, Your Majesty, after giving birth to the little prince, the queen fell asleep and is still awake. Do you want me to wake up the queen?"
Yunxi said: "No need. No, if she doesn't wake up tomorrow morning, wake her up and let her sleep now." Yunxi's order is not very in line with the rules, but Yunxi's personal thoughts are like this, and no one can
came to stop him, so it was executed.
But just now the secretary mentioned the little prince, which made Yunxi think of one thing: "What is this eldest son going to be called?"
The naming of royal families in the Ming Empire is very unique. I won’t introduce the details. Anyway, it makes it difficult to pick up the name. Yunxi stood at the door and thought: "Should we use the word 'Yin'? Isn't it appropriate? Zhu Wenyin,
It doesn't sound good. Use the word 'ji'? Zhu Wenji? It doesn't sound very good either." (Zhu Zhanji was not yet born at this time)
At this time, Su Huai'en ran over and said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, there is something I forgot to mention. Emperor Daxing wanted to name the second son of the emperor before his death. Use this word." As he said that, he took out a piece of paper.
Yunxi took a closer look at the paper and saw the three characters "Zhu Wenyuan" written on it. "Emperor Daxing decided to give it this name." Su Huai'en added.
Yunxi thought for a while and felt that Zhu Wenyuan was okay, and even if it didn't sound good, he could only use this name. So he said: "Then my second son will be called Zhu Wenyuan."
Yunxi looked at the little baby who was about to be carried to Xiyao again. Although the problem of his name was solved, Yunxi still felt uncomfortable. In history, most people who have been princes for a long time will have trouble with the emperor at that time.
It was very unpleasant, they didn't trust each other and even caused big trouble.
The more famous examples in history are Liu Che and Liu Zhi, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, Xuanye and Yinreng, Louis XIV and Louis XV, etc. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao also have this meaning, but Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
, there is no worry that Zhu Biao will usurp the throne.
Therefore, in order to prevent this kind of thing, Yunxi did not plan to canonize him as the crown prince after the official name change next year. But now Lao Zhu can be said to have lived a few more days just to wait for the baby who was just named Zhu Wenyuan.
, he had to quickly make him the prince.
Zhu Di rebelled and became emperor, but after more than two years of hesitation, he still had to make Zhu Gaochi the crown prince. This was largely because Zhu Gaochi was the crown prince established by Zhu Yuanzhang during his lifetime.
But it was useless to think about it now. Yunxi ordered to pay close attention to protecting Zhu Wenyuan, and then walked towards Jinshen Hall.
