Chapter Thirty-Eight

"Do you know what the emperor's grandfather has summoned?" Zhu Youxiao asked the eunuch who passed the message.

"I don't know, but recently the emperor's energy has become less and less energy than before. I think it's because the emperor is thinking about the two of His Highnesses." The little eunuch bowed and replied.

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youjian followed the eunuch without saying much. Since entering the palace, Zhu Youjian clearly felt that the guards in the palace had been much stronger. When they arrived in front of the Ganqing Palace, this feeling was particularly serious. In addition to the Jinyiwei guards, even the Jinyiwei commander Luo Sigong inspected himself. The team of Jinyiwei looked quite unusual. Perhaps several of them were the rumored Thirteen Ghost Sect.

Zhu Youjian just looked at the Jinyiwei who was guarding the gate and entered the Ganqing Palace with Zhu Youxiao. The little eunuch led the two to the gate of the Ganqing Palace and retreated. Later, Wang An led the two to the Hongde Hall of the Ear Hall on the west side of the Ganqing Palace. At this time, Emperor Wanli was resting there.

"Your Majesty, the two princes have arrived." Wang An came to the bed and said softly.

The old emperor was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his reaction was not made.

"Emperor, Emperor." Wang An called out a few more words.

It was not until the emperor opened his eyes with some difficulty that Wang An added, "The two princes have arrived."

"Oh." Emperor Wanli responded, and then he stretched out his hands to the two people standing not far away with difficulty.

The two of them hurriedly stepped forward and each one held one of the emperor's hands.

After not seeing each other for two months, the old emperor was so old. Zhu Youjian thought to himself as he looked at the old emperor's difficult movements and a slightly yellowed face.

Emperor Wanli said to the two with some difficulty, "Grandpa Emperor knows that he has treated you injustice in the past, but you cannot resent the emperor. This huge country is all about, it is difficult for me."

The old emperor said as if he remembered the hardships and absurdity of the past, and two lines of tears flowed down, "But these days, I am thinking about seeing you. I know that this country is in your hands, and I feel at ease."

The so-called birds are about to die and their voices are sad, and people are about to die and their words are good. This is probably the case with the old emperor.

The old emperor had a little difficulty after saying a few words. He took a brief breath and continued, "I have no more time. I have many things to say to you but can't say. I have only one sentence to explain to you."

After saying that, the emperor let go of the two of them and signaled to Wang An. Wang An handed over two things, and the old emperor struggled to hold them in his hand.

Then the old emperor handed the two things to the two, "I want to tell you the last sentence, brothers will not fight."

The two of them took the things handed over by the old emperor and looked at them, and were shocked. Zhu Youxiao was in his hand with a jade seal, and Zhu Youjian was in his hand with a token engraved with small characters from the personal military Protectorate Mansion.

"Xiao Wu, you will hold the token. I know that you have this ability. As for the jade seal, the school will hand it over to your father first, but sooner or later it will be yours. You will be here to accompany me today and let me see you more." After saying that, the old emperor's face looked a little ugly again, so he closed his eyes and rested.

Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian took the things given by the old emperor and sat on the chair brought by Wang An in a daze.

The old emperor did not hand over the jade seal directly to the prince, but instead handed it to Zhu Youxiao, which was a bit intriguing. However, Zhu Youjian had never heard of the personal army's guardian's guardian. During the Hongwu period, there was a personal army's guardian's guardian, but he had already withdrawn.

The emperor rested for a while, and then tried to open his eyes and looked at the two brothers with a kind face. Zhu Youjian also looked at the old man who was lying on the bed and trying to look at them more, and then he realized that this was no longer the powerful emperor of the world, but just an ordinary old man who wanted to feel the joy of family more.

Which is the joy of family life, imperial power or family affection? Zhu Youjian already had the answer at this moment.

Until the evening, the old emperor coughed violently in his sleep, and then he suddenly opened his eyes and vomited blood. Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao and Wang An quickly stepped forward to check. The old emperor had a pale face and no one looked.

"Transfer to the imperial doctor quickly." Wang An shouted loudly outside.

Soon, several imperial doctors arrived.

Several imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital were not frivolous. Seeing the emperor's appearance, they quickly took out a set of silver needles and applied acupuncture continuously at several acupoints in the Zusanli ges, liver, heart, lung, etc. Soon the old emperor stopped coughing, but his face was still pale and horrifying.

The Imperial Hospital Hospital re-examined the emperor's pulse for a long time, and then shook his head at Wang An, "The emperor's illness is already difficult to recover, so he can only rely on medicine to hang it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up in the future."

Wang An ordered a young eunuch, "Send someone to invite the prince and Concubine Zheng to come." Then he politely said to the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, "Please ask the envoy of the Imperial Hospital to wait a moment, the crown prince will come to decide at this time."

The envoy of the Wang Yuan also knew that the matter was serious, so he prescribed a prescription and ordered people to go down and decoct the medicine, and then waited with several other imperial doctors.

Soon, Concubine Zheng came to Hongde Hall. Because of the rift about the talent show, Zhu Youxiao did not go up to greet him. Zhu Youjian just looked at Concubine Zheng. Hearing that Concubine Zheng had been celebrating Buddhist rituals recently, he looked much more dull.

The envoy of the Wang Yuan first told Concubine Zheng about the situation of the emperor. Concubine Zheng looked a little sad, but she just glanced at Wang An, then sat in front of the bed, took the old emperor's hand and held it tightly and said nothing.

Soon after, the prince also came, and the envoy of the royal court repeated the emperor's situation. Prince Zhu Changluo looked at the emperor lying on the bed and felt a little complicated, and he didn't feel much sad.

Zhu Changluo has never felt the care of his father since he was young. Even a prince was assassinated by someone who had a wooden stick and broke into the palace, but he only dealt with the assassination and two eunuchs. The fifteen-year dispute over the foundation of the country showed that his father's personal differences were even more obvious.

At this time, when looking at the lying father, Zhu Changluo felt a little pity. He said to several imperial doctors, "I would like to ask several imperial doctors to take good care of them. This matter must not be circulated."

Although Zhu Changluo said this to the imperial doctor, he also said it to everyone in the palace.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao came to Zhu Changluo with the jade seal and handed it over, "Father, this is what the emperor asked me to give to you."

Zhu Changluo took the jade seal and looked at it in a complicated mood, and then handed it over to Wang An, "You should keep this thing." Now, it is no longer important to Zhu Changluo who is in the hands of the jade seal.

Wang An didn't say much, took the jade seal and put it back in place, and walked around and saw that the jade seal was still there.

Zhu Youjian also stepped forward and took out the token in his hand, "Father, this token was also handed over to me by Grandpa Emperor."

Zhu Changluo did not take the tiger talisman, "Since it was given to you by the emperor, you should keep it. But we have not had a personal army in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Changluo rubbed Zhu Youjian's head. He also heard about the things that happened to his youngest son during this period. The change in his father's attitude may be related to his two sons, but he regarded the Protectorate's Mansion as the Protectorate's Mansion.

After saying that, Zhu Changluo left the Ganqing Palace. Luo Sigong bowed to Zhu Changluo. Zhu Changluo just nodded and hurriedly left the palace. It was not until this moment that Zhu Changluo could truly handle the government without any scruples.

The atmosphere in Hongde Hall was a little depressed. Zhu Youjian couldn't stand it first, so he pulled Zhu Youxiao out of the Ganqing Palace. However, he was still thinking about the token. Although the emperor was old, it seemed that he was not as good as holding a salted fish as a sword in Shangfang.
