Guangzong Yaoming

Chapter 28: Breaking the Great Defense, the Holy Emperor is worried and ill

The more Zhu Yijun thought about it, the more he couldn't face it. His eyes were bloodshot. "Mother! Even though few people have said anything to him over the years, we can't conclude that he is not possessed by an evil spirit and is plotting to seize the throne! Or he is colluding with both insiders and outsiders, only seeking the throne, but not caring about the fact that the ministers will hold the emperor hostage and rule the world in the future!"

"Tell me! Who the hell are you?"

"What great victory in June... If you knew the military situation, why couldn't you have said in May that there would be a great victory in June?"

"That teacher of Xu Guangqi once read to you at the lecture hall!"

"Deliberately..."

Zhu Yijun's defenses collapsed and he pointed at Zhu Changluo and spoke hatefully.

Empress Dowager Li finally said, "Enough! I didn't believe it at first, so I said that if there is no such person, the emperor doesn't need to be embarrassed, I will make the decision to send him to Fengyang. Don't I know the danger of prophecy? But it is better to believe it than not to believe it!"

"Nonsense...Nonsense..."

Zhu Yijun seemed to be talking about Empress Dowager Li, and also seemed to be talking about Zhu Changluo.

What he was thinking at this moment while escaping could not be expressed in words.

Although the matter of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva did not stand up to scrutiny, who could have said anything about the Queen Mother's position now? Why bother to add to the unnecessary trouble by using such things as sincere worship of Buddha to get the gods and Buddhas to bless their descendants and send them dreams to warn them?
Is there a possibility that the Queen Mother is in collusion with this boy?
No, no, no, my mother said that this matter cannot be spread out, otherwise she cannot use it to enhance her fame.

No, no, no, if she really helped, the boy would naturally be more filial to her in the future. The court and the public knew that she didn't want to make him the heir, so they made the final decision and only appreciated her wisdom!

"Your Majesty, don't you understand these principles? I have given you my sincere wishes, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Yijun shook his head, only to find that his mother's voice was becoming increasingly vague and dull.

He felt dizzy and couldn't help but hold his head with his hands.

As I was about to fall, a pair of strong hands hugged me and I heard urgent calls in my ears.

Zhu Yijun looked over in a daze, and saw only a young face, with the mouth faintly shouting: "Father..."

It's that kid!

In a flash, Zhu Yijun's face seemed to become ferocious again, looking at him with disdain.

That hideous look seemed to overlap with the hideous face of the Queen Mother that day.

why?
why!
When I was a child, I was so obedient and hardworking!

After trying the wine, she scolded me so harshly! Master Zhang stood in front of me and had already written a confession of guilt for himself without mercy.

I am really afraid of my great friend, my mother, and Master Zhang.

During those ten long years, every time something happened, I was afraid: What if my mother knew about it? What if Master Zhang knew about it?
Later, the Queen Mother returned power and devoted herself to worshipping Buddha.

Master Zhang is no longer with us, but he once lived such a luxurious, absurd, and free life!
What about the officials? They all speak nicely, but always make excuses, always give advice, and always treat me like that child.

Only my beloved concubine... Only in front of my beloved concubine, I am a man, a man who can talk about his thoughts!

After all these years, I thought things were different.

All officials can only beg me and seek my will.

But why did the Queen Mother show that expression again?
Why……

Zhu Yijun's defenses collapsed, all kinds of past events came to his mind, his head suddenly buzzed, his eyes rolled back, and he fell down.

Empress Dowager Li, who was still trying to persuade him, was horrified: "My prince? My prince, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Changluo, who was holding Zhu Yijun, quickly laid him flat on the ground, ran over to get the cushion used for worshiping Buddha and placed it under Zhu Yijun's head, then turned his head to one side.

Zhu Yijun was wearing a red outfit today. The weather was hot, but he didn't wear it too tightly.

When Empress Dowager Li saw him unbuttoning his shirt, she asked in panic, "What are you doing?"

"My grandson is unfilial... just in case, I'm afraid it's a stroke..."

Empress Dowager Li turned pale: "Someone come! Someone come..."

She ran out of the Buddhist temple. She no longer cared whether it was a prophecy or not, or whether it was top secret or not. How deadly was the wind disease?

Zhu Changluo undid Zhu Yijun's clothes and loosened his collar, then knelt beside him and looked at him with a complicated expression.

Having traveled through time and space to another world where she had taken care of her father who had suffered a mild stroke, she was naturally familiar with this.

Now, this person is also his father.

He was an alcoholic and his favorite food was said to be stewed sea cucumbers, fat chickens, and pig tendons.

I was extremely emotional just now, and the probability of having a sudden stroke is quite high.

Zhu Changluo actually hoped that he had just fainted.

Although Empress Dowager Li could testify for him, if Zhu Yijun suffered a stroke in front of him and Empress Dowager Li, or even had more serious consequences, it is hard to imagine what kind of waves it would cause.

It was impossible for Zhu Changluo to stop the imperial physician from coming.

Because the eunuchs and palace maids had been dismissed, Empress Dowager Li went out for a while before coming back.

There were several eunuchs following behind him.

"Quick! Lift His Majesty to the couch first."

Zhu Changluo did not stop him. He could not interfere with the treatment at this time. The previous actions were the doctor's instructions. The doctor told him that it was a temporary measure in case of another stroke, and then he would naturally find a doctor quickly.

Zhu Changluo chased to the Empress Dowager Li and said with a sob: "Be sure to pay attention to your father's mouth and nose, if he vomits something and chokes..."

Empress Dowager Li was in a state of panic. She didn't think much about how he understood this. She just kept saying, "Yes, yes..."

He was transferred to the bed, where Empress Dowager Li recited scriptures one after another, while Zhu Changluo knelt in front of the bed with a handkerchief in his hand, ready to respond at any time.

The fact that he hasn't woken up after such a long time means that it is not an ordinary fainting and the probability of stroke is getting higher and higher.

He thought that the emperor could not accept it, but the sudden stroke was caused by him after all.

Things were developing in an unpredictable direction. He spoke with trembling: "Grandmother..."

Empress Dowager Li's tightly closed eyes trembled, but she did not answer, and recited the Buddhist scriptures even more urgently.

Zhu Changluo took a deep breath.

He made this decision after considering for a long time, after being so angry at Zhu Yijun that he wanted to rebel.

With the foreshadowing of copying Buddhist scriptures to please Empress Dowager Li, and the dream of "telling" to pave the way for the emphasis on science and technology later, Zhu Changluo deduced various possibilities and directed and acted in a nightmare drama by himself.

After that, he sat there all night, looked haggard, and wandered around all day before he went before Empress Dowager Li and "threw himself into danger".

Naturally there are risks.

But I've been here for a few months now, and what I've seen and heard has confirmed the existence and personalities of many of these people, so why not give it a try?
If you wait, you will naturally become the crown prince, and then what?
Killing his father and his king? Could Empress Dowager Li tolerate this? Killing my grandmother and more people?

Anyone who knows history knows that this is not possible.

It is not clear whether he can succeed in seizing the throne in advance. It is suspected that he has obtained the throne illegitimately, and he will have to devote countless attention to suppressing the internal forces!

Respect the power structure and values ​​of this era and resort to unexpected tactics!

Times have changed, and they have changed back.

Throughout history, there are countless people who have used this kind of method, and it is based on their three views.

What's more, can Zhu Changluo provide verifiable and testable evidence?

There is also a reason for choosing these three people as evidence.

Xu Guangqi's achievements have become more and more regrettable as time goes by.

And in the days to come, Zhu Changluo will need such a person very much.

Therefore, it would be better to let him enter the sight of Empress Dowager Li and Zhu Yijun first.

After all, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were people who only came to prominence during the Chongzhen period and came from humble backgrounds.

At this time they should either be still young or not yet born.

How could Zhu Changluo remember all their dates of birth and death, but as long as one of them was found, it would be enough to explain a lot of things.

Now that we have found out, it has at least convinced Empress Dowager Li.

But the impact was so great that the emperor suffered a stroke.

Grandfather and grandson conspired to murder the emperor together? This was not in Zhu Changluo's script.

Even though Empress Dowager Li would have no choice but to support him, the Ming Dynasty had its own national conditions. How could Zhu Changluo bear such suspicion?

Empress Dowager Li didn't say anything. Zhu Changluo was thinking quickly, feeling anxious, self-blaming, and sad.

"Your Majesty, the doctors have arrived."

I don't know how long it took, but finally a sound was heard from outside.

"Hurry up!"

Zhu Changluo stepped aside, lowered his head and wiped his eyes.

He had to really cry now. Even if he had no feelings for this father who had never treated him well, he couldn't remain indifferent in this situation.

Five imperial physicians came to the Imperial Medical Bureau at once. Some of them took Zhu Yijun's pulse, while others looked and smelled him from the side.

The object of the examination was naturally the Empress Dowager.

Zhu Changluo watched carefully as she sobbed softly.

Empress Dowager Li hesitated for a moment, then said: "After the great victory in Bozhou, all the officials cried and sent letters of resignation. The emperor spoke of his difficulties in front of me and suddenly fainted."

Zhu Changluo breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, everyone in front of the couch was whispering and exchanging opinions.

Then several people came over together, and one of the representatives said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother... the pulse shows that Your Majesty is unconscious, and it may be... a stroke."

Empress Dowager Li was dazed.

It's really a flu, there's almost no cure, once it happens, there will be another...
