Chapter 15 Death Tribulation

"When did I die in history?" Zhu Xiongying was a little confused and curious, "I probably didn't live past the age of ten. So now it seems that I may have survived the disaster?"

Eight-year-old Zhu Xiongying was sitting on the couch, just in a daze.

Queen Ma came and said with a smile, "Ying'er, it's time to go to morning class."

As a model of the harem, although Empress Ma is a queen, she still personally prepares Lao Zhu's meals every day. She even personally takes care of the food and clothing of the princes, emperors and grandchildren, and takes care of every detail. The palace maids may be lucky enough to be pregnant, so she is doubly considerate, and the concubines may be even more considerate.

If she disagrees with her superiors, she tries to mediate between them.

Zhu Xiongying stood up and said with a smile, "Royal Grandma, after I get out of school, we will go to the Imperial Garden for a walk. Then call Xi'er and Yue'er and ask them to talk to you."

Queen Ma nodded cheerfully, with a smile on her face, "Okay, we'll talk about it after you get off school."

The diligent and studious Zhu Xiongying left Rujun helpless. As Taisun's other companion, Song Lian's grandson Song Shen was also helpless. They all hoped that Taisun would become a standard Confucian emperor, but they also saw that Taisun had no intention of doing so.

Don't care.

You have to listen to the Five Classics and so on, but Zhu Xiongying often just listens to it without asking for a deep understanding.

Lao Zhu said nothing about this, and Zhu Biao would not say much. Both father and son understood that they did not want Zhu Xiongying to become a Confucian emperor in the minds of many civil servants.

Seeing the grown-up Zhu Xiongying, Lao Zhu thought deeply and discussed with the queen for a long time that it was time for his grandson to go back to worship his ancestors.

It is also the common opinion of Lao Zhu and Queen Ma to let the grandson return to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum to worship. This can also be regarded as a kind of "announcement to the world" that the emperor's eldest grandson has "grown up".

In fact, there is no need to worry so much about safety issues. The main thing is not to mention the ceremonial guards, but also the guards, personal eunuchs, and maids. Of course, there are also officials from the Ministry of Etiquette and so on. Zhu Xiongying actually does not need to worry about everything.

worry.

He only needs to come forward to officiate. He only needs to be elegant and wise as an emperor's eldest grandson should be. This is also a more formal appearance for the third generation of the emperor.

Xu Da's eldest son Xu Yungong, Cao Guogong's eldest son Li Jinglong, and Prince Consort Liu Lao accompanied him.

Such a configuration also allowed many people to see some of Lao Zhu's thoughts. The status of the current prince can be said to be the most stable among the princes. Now the position of the grandson does not seem to need to be thought so much. This is also the only one.

.

"Uncle Huang, have you sorted out Uncle Chengyi's legacy?" Zhu Xiongying sat on the carriage and asked curiously, "If you have sorted it out, can you lend it to me?"

Liu Bowen is too magical in folk tales, so Zhu Xiongying is still quite curious. Although he knows based on some of the information he has now that Liu Bowen is not as magical as in folk tales, he is still a little curious.

Known as one of the three masters of poetry and prose in the early Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu called Liu Bowen "my son's wife" many times. Liu Bowen was proficient in astronomy, art of war, mathematics, and was very talented and capable.

Liu Lao immediately replied respectfully, "Great Sun, the first draft has been finalized. I hope that I will correct it."

What's wrong is just supporting Zhu Xiongying.

The army marched slowly. As a kind-hearted grandson, Zhu Xiongying felt sorry for the sergeants who were too tired and too hot to wear armor in the summer, so he slowed down the journey slightly and did not march in the hottest time.

Xu Yungong and Li Jinglong began to 'sit and talk'. Both of them were well versed in the art of war. Li Jinglong seemed to be more powerful when it came to talking about war on paper, and even suppressed Xu Yungong.

"This guy is either Zhao Kuo, or he is really in Cao's camp and his heart is with Han." Zhu Xiongying expressed his closeness to Li Jinglong, but murmured in his heart, "It is better to have someone like Xu Yungong, who is loyal, reliable, and not lacking in ability.

.”

Xu Yungong, the eldest son of Xu Da, seems to have defeated Zhu Di several times during the Jingnan. As Zhu Di's brother-in-law, Xu Yungong did not recognize Zhu Di's Jingnan, so he was imprisoned. Xu Yungong's younger brother, on the other hand, became an internal agent around Zhu Yunwen and was cornered.

Zhu Yunwen killed.

The army continued to move slowly towards Fengyang, but suddenly, everything was in chaos.

A fast horse came, and he was very anxious and said, "Your Highness, the Queen is seriously ill."

Zhu Xiongying was instantly struck by lightning. In the few years since he came to this world, he grew up beside Queen Ma and received endless love. But now, what is going on?!

"One man, two horses, three horses!" Zhu Xiongying was anxious, ignoring the dissuasion of Xu Yungong and Liu Lao, "respond immediately!"

Xu Yungong, who has excellent riding skills, is riding Zhu Xiongying. The bumps are nothing. There is no need to cherish the horse power.

Queen Ma was fine when we set out, so why is she seriously ill now? She just fell seriously ill after just a nap!

The travel-worn party roared back to Yingtian Mansion on horseback. Xu Yungong was no longer as steady as before, and just rushed towards the imperial city with his grandson in his arms.

"Grandma!" Zhu Xiongying cried, he was a little confused now, "Royal Grandma!"

Queen Ma opened her eyes with difficulty, held Zhu Xiongying's hand, "Ying'er."

Zhu Xiongying's tears fell uncontrollably, and then he turned around and asked loudly, "Where is the imperial doctor? Where are the people from the imperial hospital?!"

"Ying'er, life and death are God's arrangements. What's the use of praying and offering sacrifices? Besides, how can the imperial doctors keep people alive? If the medicine doesn't work, I'm afraid the imperial doctors will be punished because of me, right?" Queen Ma squeezed.

He smiled and said comfortingly, "Grandson, don't blame them."

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly. No matter what Queen Ma said at this time, he would agree.

Holding Zhu Xiongying's hand, Empress Ma said, "Grandson, I know you miss your mother. Grandma Huang will go over first and take care of your mother for you. My grandson is so smart and sensible, she will definitely be happy."

Zhu Xiongying shed tears and choked up, "Grandma Huang, I don't want you to go find the concubine. If you leave, what will I do? What will happen to my father? What will Grandpa Huang do?"

"You three, please be well." Empress Ma forced a smile and said in a weak voice, "Grandma Huang is over there and will protect you."

Queen Ma was seriously ill, and not only Zhu Xiongying was helpless, Zhu Biao was also very panicked and sad at this time. The workaholic old Zhu was not interested in government affairs at this time, and would come over from time to time.

As for Zhu Xiongying, who has always been by Empress Ma's side, he can feel that his imperial grandmother may leave at any time.

One day in early autumn, Queen Ma, who had been sleeping all day, suddenly woke up. She looked at Zhu Xiongying lying beside her, and at Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao who were napping in chairs, and coughed lightly.

In an instant, everyone who needed to wake up woke up.

Lao Zhu shuddered in his heart and forced a smile, "Sister, you scared us to death."

"Chongba." Empress Ma smiled and said softly, "I hope that your Majesty will seek out talented people, listen to other people's opinions, and take them seriously from beginning to end. Your descendants will be able to be talented, and your ministers and people will be able to rely on them."

Lao Zhu nodded repeatedly, his voice choked with sobs, "Sister, we remember. Sister, as long as you do well, I will promise you anything! You have to remember, only you can persuade me to stop!"

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, remember to honor your father and take good care of Ying'er."

"Royal Grandma, don't say unlucky words!" Zhu Xiongying said anxiously, "What will we, the third son, do if you are gone? Without you in charge, no one can take good care of us."

Empress Ma forced a smile and said with difficulty, "Then we, Ying'er, need to work harder. Grandma Huang is no longer here. Remember to take good care of your grandpa Huang and your father."

"I can't persuade you!" Zhu Xiongying said with tears and choked up, "Only the imperial grandmother can take care of us."

Empress Ma was very weak and her voice was barely audible, "Chi'er, the emperor's grandmother is old and it's time to leave. Ying'er, let's take care of your mother first and protect you with her. Ying'er, promise the emperor's grandmother that we will take care of you in the future.

Be a good emperor"
