After a while, Zhu Houzhao walked in with a curious look on his face. Before he entered Kunning Palace, Empress Zhang had already explained to him: "No matter what your father said to you, you must respond honestly. You must not contradict the slightest, and you must not be disrespectful to your father."

Zhu Houzhao thought his father was fine and just asked him to come and scold him. When he entered the bedroom, he looked at the dragon couch in the dark under the candlelight, but he didn't know whether he should walk over. After all, he was still angry with his father.

Zhu Youzhe said: "Crown Prince, are you here?"

"It's a child." Zhu Houzhao bowed mechanically, then walked to the bed and looked inside. The candlelight swayed, but she still couldn't see the father's appearance clearly.

Zhu Houzhao was puzzled and couldn't help asking: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. Don't your father feel bored when he stays inside?"

Zhu Youzhang did not scold his son, but said earnestly: "In the future, you must carefully obey the teachings of several gentlemen, not appoint treacherous villains, not violate the ancestral teachings, study diligently, and be a wise lord."

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, I want to be the emperor of a famous figure, but where can I have a chance?

He said listlessly: "I know, Father, do you want to ask your mother to come in?"

Zhu Youzing seemed to be unable to hear his son's words, and continued: "Be diligent and restrain oneself, be cautious in arrogance and impetuousness, be diligent and self-cultivation, and do not indulge in leisure and joy..."

Zhu Houzhao was thinking again, where is this and what is going on? When did I become addicted to Yile?

Wait, if you think of martial arts, you are really addicted, but you have confiscated them. Where can I get addicted to it?

Xiao Jing quickly said, "Your Majesty, do you have any explanation?"

Zhu Houzhao blinked in confusion, what did she explain?

Xie Qian understood Xiao Jing's intention. This was Xiao Jing's fear that the emperor would die, so he should ask about the content of the will.

The throne was passed to the crown prince, and there was no dispute. The question was just who should be the minister of life?

Now Xie Qian is the only one by his side. He can't appoint Xie Qian to assist the prince. Where should he place the British Duke Zhang Mao who assisted Liu Jian and the soldiers in charge of the army?

According to Xiao Jing's idea, there should be at least six or seven ministers in his mission, which is to prevent the power from being too concentrated.

As for the Silijian, it is currently him and the eunuch Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the seal. According to his identity, Wang Yue is above him, but the emperor has believed him more recently.

As for the prince ascended the throne, he might be transferred to the Eastern Palace attendants Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yong, Gao Feng and others to the Silijian and take control of the Eastern Factory. Xiao Jing did not want to occupy the power, so he would naturally give in when it was time to give way.

Among the foreign ministers, there may also be Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, Zhang Mao and others, all famous officials in the court.

If these are not recorded in the form of a lasting edict, it will be difficult to convince the public. If Emperor Hongzhi really had no intention of leaving a lasting edict, he could summon all the ministers and announce the entrusting of the orphan in front of all the ministers. The effect is roughly the same, but there may be no verbal statement.

As the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, Xiao Jing is the oldest among the eunuchs. He hopes that Zhu Youzhe will leave a will when he dies. But when Xiao Jing asked this question, Zhu Youzhe's breathing sound was extremely heavy, and his throat was gurgling, as if it was powerless to turn the world back, and he was in a state of mind but powerless.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

Xiao Jing asked a few questions, and when Zhu Youzhang was exhausted from coughing, he quickly called out, "Transfer to the imperial doctor, hurry up and send the imperial doctor to come over to diagnose His Majesty!"

As the sound came out of Kunning Palace, Queen Zhang quickly entered the bedroom, her appearance was fading. She shouted "The Emperor" and rushed to the bed, holding her husband's body to help her calm her breath, but it didn't work.

Xie Qian was a little nervous at this time. He went up to look at the emperor and took the pulse. Xie Qian asked himself that he had a little bit of knowledge about medical skills, but he could not judge the symptoms of the emperor's pulse at all, and the pulse was messy. But he still said with his experience: "Empress, Your Majesty may have phlegm blocked his throat, maybe..."

"Maybe how?" Queen Zhang said nervously.

Xie Qian said bitterly: "Maybe we have to find a way to relieve phlegm for Your Majesty..."

He didn't dare to say that he should ask someone to go up and suck out the thick phlegm that was blocking his throat for Emperor Hongzhi. If the queen doesn't do such a thing, it can only be done by him or the eunuch. He brought it up. In comparison, he should have "experience" in this area, so he is the most suitable candidate.

Unexpectedly, Queen Zhang and Zhu Youzhang had a deep relationship. At this time, she understood what was going on. She hugged her husband directly, leaned over to Hongzhi's face, and inhale mouth to mouth.

Xie Qian sighed quietly. Empress Zhang was able to do this, which was enough to witness that she was sincere to Emperor Hongzhi. She immediately took Zhu Houzhao's hand and said:

"Your Highness, please follow the old minister to the outer wing to speak."

"What's wrong with the father? Mother, what's wrong with the father?"

Zhu Houzhao always cursed her father in her heart, and she also had bad intentions to his mother and the children in her belly, but that was just a naughty child. At this time, when he really met his father's illness and could die at any time, he couldn't help but become nervous.

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself: "What's wrong? Isn't it a good thing? My father is in poor health, but he won't die? If my father dies, then I will be the emperor, but I won't be the emperor... There are so many ministers and so many people in the palace, how can I control it? No, my father, you can't have any trouble!"

Just when the naughty child was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, the imperial physician hurried to help Queen Zhang rescue Emperor Hongzhi.

Xie Qian pulled Zhu Houzhao to the outside of the hall, and there was a lot of busyness inside. In Xie Qian's opinion, the emperor could die at any time. After all, blood phlegm had already blocked the trachea, and breathing was extremely difficult now. Even if it could relieve the temporary sputum, no one could guarantee that he could keep an eye on him at all times in the future.

"Wuwuwu...What's wrong with Father? Mr. Xie, what do you think?" Zhu Houzhao was already crying and was completely confused.

In fact, Xie Qian's situation was not much better than naughty children at this time, and Xie Qian was extremely anxious. Why didn't Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others come yet?

At such a critical moment, he was the only minister. If something happened to the emperor, how should he handle the funeral afterwards?

After thinking about it carefully, Xie Shangu was not so worried.

The emperor may die at any time, but the emperor's side is full of people. The prince is approaching adulthood and is not in his infancy. Moreover, there is no precedent for the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty to ascend the throne. Yingzong ascended the throne at the age of nine. At that time, the Empress Dowager Zhang took charge of the government affairs, and the Three Yangs assisted the government. Yingzong was like a puppet. Later, Yingzong favored the treacherous eunuch Wang Zhen, which eventually led to the Tumubao Incident. However, the final result of that twists and turns was still good. The throne ended with a return to orthodoxy.

But Xie Qian is always motivated. Will history repeat itself?

When the emperor passed away, Empress Zhang and the eunuch Wang Yue, the eunuch of Sili, the eunuch Xiao Jing, the Marquis of Shouning, Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Jianchang, and others should work together inside and outside to control the government, and then put the power of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet to directly issue orders to the six ministries?

According to Xie Qian's understanding of the officials of the Six Ministry, although Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia were relatively strong among the Six Ministry's Ministers, during the Hongzhi period, the ministers in the court preferred to compromise and obey.
