The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Highness is saying that Fengtian Palace is admonishing?"

"It's good that you know, give me some advice as soon as possible. The queen mother doesn't think about food and tea. If something goes wrong, I will have no backing." Zhu Houzhao said.

Presumably Emperor Hongzhi also had trouble sleeping and eating.

The big plan for the year is actually equivalent to reorganizing the government, which is an extremely sensitive matter.

It seemed that it was for Jiao Zhai, but in fact it was to protest against the big plans of the year. Emperor Hongzhi only slightly improved the officialdom, which caused such a big reaction.

The civil servants were reasonable. They were asking for orders for the people, so it was difficult for Emperor Hongzhi to take action.

They stand on the highest point of morality and insist that they are unreasonable, and no one can do anything to them.

Ordinary methods will definitely not work.

"I don't have any ideas, it's just..." Yan Chengjin looked at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao understood in an instant, and raised his hand with ease, silently copied the "Zhu Houzhao Swear to Death Confidentiality Agreement" ten times, and swore another hundred oaths.

"Lao Gao, you always ask me to swear poisonous oaths. Aren't you afraid that I will settle a score with you when I become emperor?"

"I have already thought about it. When His Highness becomes emperor, I will travel to the West like the brave eunuchs and never return to the Ming Dynasty." Yan Chengjin thought to himself that the silver at home would be enough for a lifetime.

Sure enough, I have a backup plan!

Wouldn't it be boring to think that there will be no Lao Gao in the palace in the future?

Zhu Houzhao became anxious and said with a smile: "I am joking, don't take it seriously."

Yan Chengjin saw that Zhu Houzhao had sworn an oath and written a confidentiality agreement, so he still used his most valued reputation as a guarantee.

So, he leaned into Zhu Houzhao's ear and said, "Only one person in the world can solve this matter."

"Who? I asked Gu Dayong to capture him!"

Yan Chengjin's face is full of black lines, and Zhu Houzhao has changed his eunuch again!

"It's Your Highness!"

"I?"

Zhu Houzhao blinked, his eyes glowing. Unexpectedly, that person was actually himself?

Yan Chengjin leaned into his ear and told him what to do, and asked Zhu Houzhao to repeat it three times to make sure there were no mistakes.

Yan Chengjin asked again: "Your Highness, do you know what is the most critical aspect of this plan?"

"You have to act realistically without revealing your flaws?"

"Wrong, you can't tell anyone that it was my idea. Otherwise, my life will be at risk, and Your Highness will never see me again." Yan Chengjin corrected.

Zhu Houzhao nodded with deep understanding.

Back to the East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao happily said to Gu Dayong: "Go to Fengtian Hall to announce my oral edict, saying that I am very ill and about to die."

What?

Gu Da almost dropped his chin, what kind of gameplay is this...

He ran to read out the decree that the prince was seriously ill. It was clear that he was deceiving the emperor. If your majesty knew about it,

Do you want to chop off the heads of his whole family?

"How about my servant playing crickets with His Highness? Crickets are quite fun too. Your Highness will use the mighty general, and the servant will fight with Lao Gao." Gu Dayong was about to cry.

These two crickets were named after Zhu Houzhao.

I am doing business, but you tell me to play cricket, and you secretly despise me.

However, Zhu Houzhao also expected that he did not dare to go, so it was better for Liu Ban to accompany him. He turned around and pulled out a long knife and put it on Gu Dayong's neck. He said happily: "If you go, I will protect you from death. If you go If you don’t go, I will have to find another companion.”

"Slave, go right away..."

Gu Dayong had a sad look on his face, he had finally managed to get to this position, and his heart suddenly went away.

The sun was high in the sky, and the sun made the floor tiles a little hot.

Fengtian Temple,

Emperor Hongzhi had a confrontation with the civil servants all day and night. At this time, he was already a little sleepy and could not raise his eyelids.

Suddenly, a loud voice shouted from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill!"

Emperor Hongzhi immediately sat up in shock with a serious look on his face. For the first time, he felt a little scared.

He only has one son left.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, all the ministers who were kneeling languidly became energetic. Is His Highness the Crown Prince seriously ill?

This is really bad news.

Immediately, they stopped crying and howling, and all of them looked eagerly at the eunuch who came to report the news.

"Your Majesty has beaten the prince so many times and nothing happened. How could he be seriously ill?"

"Yes, the palace wall is so high that the prince can climb out."

The ministers questioned one after another.

Gu Dayong cried and muttered: "I don't know, but the prince felt deeply unwell yesterday and was bedridden just now."

If the bloodline is cut off, how can we talk about the prosperous Ming Dynasty?

Emperor Hongzhi walked out of the Fengtian Palace with empty steps and asked eagerly: "When did it happen?"

Gu Dayong was frightened and hesitated: "Last night..."

"Quick, go to the East Palace!"

At this time, in the East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao was lying on the bed sickly, and several eunuchs around him were crying and howling, fearing that the prince would be questioned if he really died.

Emperor Hongzhi strode to the bed: "Huzhao? Call the imperial doctor quickly!"

Zhu Houzhao's forehead was covered with sweat, and he just lay on the bed. "I don't know what's wrong with my son. I just have an unbearable pain in my stomach. Father, is my son going to be like sister Xiurong..."

"No nonsense!"

Princess Taikang suddenly suffered from a strange disease and passed away at the age of only a few years. Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt panicked and reached out to touch Zhu Houzhao's forehead.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao like this, his last doubt was dispelled.

Doctor Liu, the judge of Tai Hospital, hurried over carrying a medicine box.

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed. Isn't this the quack doctor?

Liu Wentai felt Zhu Houzhao's pulse and frowned, thinking that there was nothing abnormal at all.

Zhu Houzhao was in great pain: "Liu Veterinarian, I have a headache in my stomach and feel very uncomfortable... Will I die young like my sister Xiurong..."

Who is the veterinarian?

Liu Wentai's old face twitched fiercely, and he was about to report to Emperor Hongzhi that there was no problem at all.

But the prince suddenly mentioned Princess Taikang, which made him uncertain.

I am not afraid of illness, but I am afraid of sudden illness.

Because sudden illness is generally incurable.

Princess Taikang suffered from a strange disease and died suddenly.

Liu Wentai hesitated: "I can't see anything, but from the prince's face..."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly rolled on the ground in pain, holding his stomach, turning over and over in bed, and shouting in pain.

"I am afraid that the prince is really unwell." Liu Wentai said quickly.

As soon as the voice fell, Zhu Houzhao felt better.

Liu Wentai became uncertain. What if he said that the prince was fine, and the prince really died like Princess Taikang? Wouldn't that be deceiving the emperor?

Zhu Houzhao was shocked. Lao Gao was right. He repeatedly mentioned that his sister had passed away. His father and the imperial physician really believed it. Even if he saw that he was not sick, he didn't dare to say it.

"What on earth is going on!" Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have aged a few years. He held Zhu Houzhao's hand and was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

"My son... dreamed of my sister last night. She said that she was very lonely and asked me to accompany her. As a brother..."

Dream?

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and hurriedly said, "Go and call the director of the Imperial Observatory!"

The Imperial Observatory was a government office in charge of astronomical phenomena and solar terms, and was good at deducing astronomical phenomena.

In the dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, the astronomical phenomena they deduced were recorded in historical materials.

In the historical materials of later generations, there are many records of astronomical phenomena, which is very high.

Although Emperor Hongzhi did not believe in monks and Taoists, he believed in the Imperial Observatory.

He believed that everything the emperor did would be helped by heaven, and he needed the Imperial Observatory to interpret the predictions of heaven.

"Is the prince's behavior related to the celestial phenomena?" Emperor Hongzhi could not find any other reason, only the celestial phenomena could explain it.

The Imperial Observatory said, "Yesterday, the moon did offend the southeast star of Dixiu. The dream the prince said may be... related to this."

Zhu Houzhao secretly complained, this palace was obviously making it up, and you actually said it was related to this?

He used to believe in the Imperial Observatory, but he would never believe it again.
