Bright palace lamps illuminated the flagstones underfoot and the palace walls along the path.
The palace people walked carefully and silently on both sides. Zhu Yunzhang helped Zhu Yuanzhang and slowly walked towards Fengtian Hall.
Probably after a day of labor, the elderly emperor was a little tired, and didn't speak along the way, except that when Zhu Yunzhang spoke, he was full of kind smiles and occasionally coughed a little lightly.
After all, it is an old man, this era of people sixty years old is considered a long life. In the early years, Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the four directions all over the body are old injuries, now people are old, more or less some cardiorespiratory insufficiency.
"Imperial grandfather slow down!" When going up the steps, Zhu Yunzhang reminded in a low voice.
"Hey, your grandfather is not seventy years old and deaf, you help what!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "We are the son of heaven on the horse, a lifetime of fighting out of the man, walking still let you help, into what?"
The old man's heart is not old, and the old does not obey the old.
Zhu Yunzhang laughed, "Grandson this is not filial piety to your old man? "
"True filial piety is good study, good practice martial arts, to grandfather, to your father to fight for! " Zhu Yuanzhang stepped on the steps and laughed.
"Grandson remembered! " Zhu Yunzhang laughed, "Imperial grandfather also need to cherish the body, do not always feel that you can, and then you also more than sixty. "
If someone else had said this, Zhu Yuanzhang would have been furious and had people slaughtered. But when his own grandson's mouth said it, it was both warm and proper, and there was more of a relief that the child had grown up and knew how to take care of the old man.
"Don't worry, your grandfather is hard! "Into the bedchamber of the moment, Zhu Yuanzhang grinned, "although we are old, but we still can not give up death, we are still waiting to see another generation, see you brats into a family, have children na! "
"Grandchildren, to give you a hundred grandchildren! "
Zhu Yunzhang laughed, and then instructed the courtiers around Zhu Yuanzhang, "Serve well at night, Imperial Grandpa is tired today! "
"The slave girls understand! " the palace people, led by eunuch Huang Dog'er, agreed in unison.
"Imperial Grandfather, Sun'er takes his leave! "
"Go, go back to bed early, don't read at night, it's not good for your eyes! "
Watching Zhu Yuanzhang slowly go in until he was out of sight, Zhu Yunzhang slowly turned around.
But just at the moment he turns around, he suddenly hears violent coughing coming from inside, as well as the eunuch's alarmed cry.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! "
"Cough! Cough! "
At that moment, Zhu Yun Yun directly turned around and rushed in without hesitation.
After coming to this world, despite the many calculations in his heart, for this old man who cared for him so much, there was always a true feeling in his heart, and he really treated him as his elder.
"Imperial grandfather!" Zhu Yunzhang exclaimed, rushed into Zhu Yuanzhang's bedchamber.
On the dragon bed, the tall old man couldn't stop coughing, spitting out sticky phlegm from his mouth. Moreover, because of the coughing, it was obvious that some of them could not come up for air.
"Summon the eunuchs, quick!" Zhu Yunyun commanded and couldn't stop patting Zhu Yuanzhang's back.
"Uh uh~~~ uh uh ~~~~" Zhu Yuanzhang's hand grabbed Zhu Yunzhang's hand, coughing uncontrollably, wanting to say something but never being able to say it.
"Imperial grandfather, it's okay, it's okay, grandchildren are here, grandchildren are here!"
Under the true feelings, Zhu Yun Yun's tears broke out.
It was now the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang would not die so early, but looking at the old man's tormented appearance by the disease, he still felt pain in his heart.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Under Zhu Yunzhang's patting, Zhu Yuanzhang's coughing slowly got smaller.
At this time, a noisy footsteps sounded outside.
The palace's standing imperial physicians came in sweating, and a few panicked that the medicine box in their hands could not be held steady.
"Panic what?" Zhu Yun Yun angrily rebuked, "You are the ones who save people, if you are panicked, can you save them?"
"I deserve to die!" Several imperial doctors were covered in cold sweat.
The imperial doctors looked majestic, but in fact, the slightest carelessness will lose their heads. This Hongwu Emperor is also a very love to anger others, when the Imperial Hospital many imperial doctors because they did not cure his nephew Li Wenzhong, were cut off the head.
Now, treating the elderly emperor, before they could see them, they were already panicked and scared first.
"Imperial grandfather is just a minor illness, he may have suffered from wind and cold before coughing, you guys don't need to be alarmed." Zhu Yun continued, "Hurry!"
"I have the audacity to ask for His Majesty's pulse!" A royal doctor's trembling fingers rested on Zhu Yuanzhang's wrist.
"Uh!" Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long breath and lay down on the bed, muttering, "Old, old!"
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside.
The guards came to report that the ministers remaining in the cabinet had arrived outside the palace. Zhongshu Sheriff Liu Sango led a few of the central ministers, as well as the commander of the Forbidden City guards, forbidden army commander Li Jinglong, and other military generals.
"Coming so fast?"
Zhu Yun heart instantly alert, the emperor is sick, these people are required to be there, but how did they come so fast, and and the imperial physician feet before and after.
Look at the ministers waiting outside the temple, all look hurriedly disheveled, seems to have just been called out from the duty room.
"Someone told them? But Imperial Grandpa didn't say that he informed the ministers just now, so who on earth, told them that the Emperor is seriously ill!"
An imperial doctor took Zhu Yuanzhang's pulse, while several others checked the emperor's eyes and tongue.
Zhu Yunzhang looked at them and turned his gaze to the back of the bedchamber. All the palace men were trembling, standing in the corners of the palace.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunzhang's gaze fixed on a person's head.
Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch, Huang Gu'er's head was covered in sweat and he was breathing heavily, obviously having run for a long time before returning.
But the duty imperial physician is outside the bedchamber in the guards room, a wall away only, with the need to run so fast?
Although here is Zhu Yuanzhang's chambers, but his diligence is not rest, live in the outer court rather than the harem with women, in a hurry is to shout a voice are heard, why run?
Besides, he is an emperor's personal supervisor, even if he wants to report to others, he does not need to go himself.
At this time, a few more cries of alarm sounded outside.
"How is His Majesty?"
"How is my royal grandfather?"
Lv and King Huai Zhu Yunzhu had also arrived, they were living in the deep palace of the inner court, how could they also come so quickly.
Looking at the cold sweat on the yellow dog's head, Zhu Yunzhu seemed to understand.
This castrated dog is running to give Lu's mother and son to report to go, and grab before they run back.
It seems that this palace is really secretly intricate!
He Lu's for Zhu Yunzhu, these years really did not make much effort, not less to buy people's hearts.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunzhu's gaze is a little cold.
It is said that when Zhu Di launched the Jingnan, he fought his way to the bottom of Nanjing.
Originally with Yingtian's majestic city wall can wait until the king's force, is Zhu Di's inside helpers to open the city gate. In addition to Li Jinglong, the second five, there were many courtiers.
And both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunzhu had a trait, famously bad for eunuchs!
"Is His Majesty feeling better? " an imperial physician asked in a low voice as he knelt and rubbed Zhu Yuanzhang's acupoints.
Zhu Yuanzhang hmmm'd, his closed eyes opened, and in the split second he saw Zhu Yunzhang's concerned tear-stained face, the wrinkles on his face moved and the corners of his mouth moved. It seemed like he wanted to laugh, but in the end, he did not laugh out.
"Imperial grandfather, my grandson is here! "
Zhu Yunzhang pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and the other party's fingers gripped him back.
"Call! " Zhu Yuanzhang said with a vague cry.
Before Zhu Yunzhang could say anything, Huang Dog'er shouted, "His Majesty has decreed that all ministers merit an audience! "
Looking at the castrated dog, Zhu Yunzhang sneered in his heart.
This personal eunuch beside Imperial Grandfather was definitely not along the same line as his own.
He was Lu's man, and he had been bought off a long time ago.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor! "
The ministers came in and fell on their knees outside the door of the bedchamber, looking in anxiously from the doorway.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! " Li Jinglong's face was full of tears, crawling in on his hands and knees, kneeling down and kowtowing when he was there, "Master, don't scare me! "
This is also a human savant, knowing how to act in front of the emperor desperately. Seeing the way he was crying in pain, those who didn't know would think that he was the emperor's son or grandson.
"God, I'm willing to use my life span for my uncle! " Li Jinglong chanted, speaking in Huai Di's native accent.
Zhu Yunzhang noticed some smiles on Zhu Yuanzhang's pale face.
At this moment, Zhu Yunzhang's heart ached, this old man had fought for his family all his life. But what about those younger generations, probably all counting on him to give themselves additional titles of glory and wealth.
Suddenly, a figure came in hastily, also filled with tears.
"Imperial Grandfather, Imperial Grandfather what happened to you, don't scare your grandson! "Zhu Yunzhu knelt by the bedside, in tears.
And Lu was outside the door, crying her eyes out.
"Come here! "At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang, whose breath was unsteady, pointed to the ministers.
Liu Sango and other civil ministers crawled in on their knees and knelt on the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang tried to struggle to sit up, but he was a bit weak.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunzhang felt a raw pain in the hand he was holding.
Only to see, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Zhu Yunzhang with one hand and pointed at Zhu Yunzhang with one trembling hand.
"He ....... He ........ King of Wu ..... For... Da Ming! "
