Chapter 28: What to eat, what to drink
Zhu Zhanji nodded.
As a hero who followed and advised Zhu Di during the Jingnan period, Jin Zhong's residence was not far from the imperial palace.
After ascending the throne, Zhu Di was even more generous to his old brothers who followed him to conquer the world. Although Jin Zhong's mansion was not as good as Ji Gang's, he was a second-rank official in the dynasty after all.
Not too small either.
Zhu Zhanji left the palace and arrived at the Jin Mansion in about ten minutes.
Before Zhu Zhanji arrived, someone had already informed him in advance. As soon as he arrived at Jin Zhong's residence, someone was already standing at the door to greet him.
"How is Jin Shangshu doing?"
After these people saluted, Zhu Zhanji asked directly without being polite to these people.
After hearing Zhu Zhanji's question, a young man in his twenties who was leading the team said:
"My grandson is worried about me. The imperial doctor has just been diagnosing my father's pulse. I think we will know the result soon."
While they were talking, several people entered the courtyard. Zhu Zhanji came to the outside of the house where Jin Zhong was, but did not go in directly so as not to disturb the imperial doctor inside who was diagnosing his pulse.
After waiting for about ten minutes, an imperial doctor wearing a green robe and showing off his oriole pushed the door open and walked out of the room. When he saw Zhu Zhanji, the imperial doctor was stunned for a moment and quickly stepped forward to salute:
"Cheng Tai Hospital Cui Ge meets His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!"
Zhu Zhanji raised his hand to signal him to excuse himself and asked, "How is the situation?"
The imperial doctor glanced at the people around Zhu Zhanji, and then whispered to Zhu Zhanji: "Your Highness, Mr. Jin is old, and he has worked hard day and night these days. He must have been cold last night. Now he only sees
Can you survive this winter?"
"Are there any other treatments?"
Zhu Zhanji's heart sank when he heard this. These words almost gave Jin Zhong a death notice.
Jin Zhong is a rare prince in Jingnan.
Once something went wrong with Jin Zhong, Zhu Zhanji estimated that many of the heroes of Jingnan would start to become impetuous.
Although Zhu Zhanji knows that no one can shake his position, it will at least greatly affect his future steps.
After all, the influence of my unscrupulous grandfather's "work hard" strategy cannot be underestimated.
In addition to these, Jin Zhong was very good to him. He wanted to kill Ji Gang, but Jin Zhong agreed to block the city gate without saying a word, and personally dispatched the imperial guards to surround Ji Gang's residence.
The dangers involved are by no means as simple as they appear on the surface. To a certain extent, if Ji Gang's background had not been exposed, Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's grandson, might not have had any trouble.
But Jin Zhong, who mobilized troops and horses, will definitely become Zhu Zhanji's scapegoat.
Cui Yuyi thought for a moment and then said: "Your Highness, if Jin Shangshu is willing to rest, as long as nothing happens in this short period of time, I am 30% sure!"
The 30% certainty is not low. It is better to have hope than no hope. Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, nodded and said:
"Okay, in that case, you will stay in the Jin Mansion during this period so that you can take care of Minister Jin at any time. If you need anything, just ask."
Dr. Cui was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I accept the order!"
When Zhu Zhanji was about to say something else, the house was opened again, and it was a maid serving. When she came out, she saw Zhu Zhanji and quickly saluted: "Master, please come in, Your Highness!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded when he heard this, knowing that Jin Zhong had woken up, so he opened the door and walked in.
The temperature in the room was very high, and Jin Zhong's face was a little pale. It was hard to imagine that a person who hadn't been seen for a long time would suddenly look like this.
Zhu Zhanji walked to the bed. Jin Zhong struggled for a while, trying to get up but couldn't muster the strength. Then a wry smile appeared on his face and said: "I miss you so much, please forgive me for not being able to salute."
Zhu Zhanji consoled him: "No matter what Mr. Jin said, I can sit in the position of grandson because of Mr. Jin's kind words in front of grandpa. Even if I have to salute, I should do it!"
Zhu Zhanji was talking about what happened in the ninth year of Yongle, and the fact is just as Zhu Zhanji said. Zhu Zhanji is now sitting in the position of grandson, and it is indeed thanks to Jin Zhong's proposal in front of Zhu Di.
Otherwise, Zhu Zhanji might still be the emperor's eldest grandson now, and the difference between grandson and eldest grandson is just a title.
In fact, no matter how favored the eldest grandson is, he is still a minister, while the grandson is a king and a master. The two are completely different.
Jin Zhong laughed when he heard this. He had actually been very optimistic about this grandson for a long time, not just because he was the eldest grandson.
Smiling, Jin Zhongcai said: "My grandson, do you know why I asked your grandson to come in?"
Zhu Zhanji felt that the old man seemed to be explaining the funeral arrangements. He didn't like this feeling, so he did not answer, but said:
"I have arranged for Dr. Cui from Tai Hospital to stay with you at any time during this period. The affairs of the Ministry of War have also been handed over to Yang Shiqi. You can rest peacefully during this period. When you recover after a while, the affairs of the Ministry of War will be left to you.
You still need to deal with it."
"Yang Shiqi?" Jin Zhong nodded when he heard this and said, "This man is a thoughtful person. He entered the Imperial Academy as a commoner. His talents are also rare in the court. In addition, he also served in the Ministry of War before and is very familiar with the Ministry of War.
It’s good to leave it to him, His Highness the Grand Sun should make more use of it in the future!”
Zhu Zhanji nodded. He naturally understood this kind of thing. After all, Sanyang's talents have been proven by history.
If these three people hadn't died a few years earlier, my son, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, might not have been able to successfully pull off such a thing as the Tumubao Incident!
After all, apart from the Tumubao Incident in history, when my eldest son was in power, he also fought three great victories in the Northern Expedition.
These three Northern Expeditions were all during the period when the three men were assisting the government. When the last of the three died, the Tumubao Incident occurred within two years.
Just by comparing before and after the Tumubao Incident, we can see Sanyang's ability.
After Jin Zhong evaluated Yang Shiqi, he took a short rest, then took out a folding book from his arms, handed it to Zhu Zhanji and said:
"The day before yesterday, I observed that His Highness Taisun's military tactics were very vulgar. After thinking about it, I wrote this note to ask Your Majesty's permission to select people of the same age as His Highness Taisun to form a bodyguard army of His own.
, to exercise Taisun’s military ability, but it’s a pity..."
As he spoke, Jin Zhong shook his head with some regret and said: "Originally, I wanted to help His Highness Taisun train this young army, but now it seems that it is no longer possible. However, Your Highness Taisun still needs to know that the Emperor is
Immediately the emperor, the grandson wants to secure his position as the grandson, even if his fighting skills are not as good as the emperor, he must not know anything about military matters!"
"Young Army?"
Although he was despised again, Zhu Zhanji still nodded when he heard Jin Zhong talking about the young army. Historically, he did seem to have such an army, and then said with a smile on his face:
"Okay, Youjun, that's a good idea. I'll hand you the coupon later. But don't be lazy, old man. Doctor Cui said you should take a good rest during this time. You should eat and drink.
, he guarantees that you will live to be ninety-nine, but my little army is still counting on you!"
"hehe!"
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Jin Zhong couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, he said in a dumbfounded voice: "It seems that His Highness is not ready to let me go!"
"This is natural!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded, then leaned down and whispered in Jin Zhong's ear: "Old Jin, get well soon. When you recover, I will give you a big gift!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhanji didn't wait for Jin Zhong to say anything, turned around and walked outside, leaving Jin Zhong alone with a stunned look on his face:
Chapter completed!
