The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

On the eighth day of the leap month of the 31st year of Hongwu (1398 AD), the gate of the Tianfu Palace was closed.

The Jinyi Guard prohibits everyone from entering and leaving the palace gates, except for holding special tokens.

In the palace, in the west palace, a group of imperial doctors were waiting in the square in front of the door.

Zheng Hai waited in front of the palace gate with a group of brocade guards, and one by one the imperial doctors hurriedly walked into the palace and walked out dejectedly.

"Zheng Qianhu, you say, this Your Majesty..."

"Shhh-

" Zheng Hai raised his index finger in front of his mouth, and whispered to Feng Zhiyuan, the chief banner of the Jinyi Guard who followed him: "You shouldn't know or ask, the more you know, the more miserable the end will be."

Feng Zhiyuan smacked his lips and stopped talking.

The imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen and the imperial concubine walked from the Yuehua Gate, hurried all the way, and walked to the door of the main hall.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at several imperial doctors in the square and hurriedly stepped into the hall.

After a while, the imperial concubine Ma Shi walked out of the hall, wiped her tears, her eyes were red, and she left with sobs.

In the dormitory of the West Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was lying on a wide dragon bed, covered with a bright yellow quilt. Next to the bed was a wooden stool, on which were placed a medicine bowl and a medicine spoon.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the edge of the bed, holding Zhu Yuanzhang's emaciated hand, and watched Zhu Yuanzhang's tears continue to flow out of the corners of his eyes.

"Grandpa Huang, you'll be fine... You're going to be fine!"

"Silly boy, my body, I know. Zhu Yuanzhang lay on the bed and replied weakly.

"No, Grandpa Huang, you will definitely get better, Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor will definitely be cured..."

Zhu Yunwen wiped the tears on his face, turned his head and said to the imperial doctor and attendants beside him, "You all go down." The

imperial physician, the palace maids, and the eunuchs bowed, retreated, and withdrew from the main hall.

In the dormitory, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen's grandson were left.

"Yun Wei, you help me up, I want to lean on.

Zhu Yunwen walked to the head of the bed, gently sat next to Zhu Yuanzhang's pillow, and slowly helped Zhu Yuanzhang's body up.

Zhu Yunwen put a pillow on Zhu Yuanzhang's back, allowing Zhu Yuanzhang to lean on the side of the bed and straighten his upper body.

"I have something to say to you, and you have to listen carefully and keep it in your heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the side of the bed and looked at Zhu Yunwen earnestly, his vicissitudes of life were full of affection.

"Grandpa Huang, you say, grandson listen. Zhu Yunwen sat on the edge of the bed, facing Zhu Yuanzhang, and tears couldn't help but flow down.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his palm with difficulty, and his palm was thin like dry firewood.

His hands trembled, and he wanted to help Zhu Yunwen wipe his tears, but he couldn't touch Zhu Yunwen's face, but such a close distance became unreachable.

Zhu Yunwen held Zhu Yuan's trembling hand with both hands, and gently pressed his dry hand next to his cheek.

"Grandpa Huang, you say, grandson, listen..."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.

"I'm old, I can't last a few days..."

Grandpa Huang!

" "Yun Wei, you heard me say-" "

I, I have done everything I can help you do, and I will rely on you in the future

..." "Grandpa Huang, I don't want Grandpa Huang to leave..."

Yun Wei, listen to you... You say..."

Do you remember the question you asked me a long time ago?The frontier is not at peace, it can be pacified by the kings, what should I do if the kings are not at peace?"

"

Among your imperial uncles, the two imperial uncles who pose the greatest threat to you are no longer there," Zhu Yuanzhang said, closing his eyes, tears seeping out of the corners of his eyes, "There are King Yan and King Ning guarding the frontier for you in the north, you can sit on your emperor with peace of mind..."

"

I originally wanted to solve all the troubles for you, but now it seems that it is too late..."

"Yun Wei, if King Yan guards the frontier for you, it is naturally the best. But you also have to think about King Yan, in case he threatens your rule one day..."

"Grandpa Huang, what do you do with Yun Wei?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's vicissitudes of life showed a resolute expression on his face, and he said to Zhu Yunwen: "After you become the emperor, you must find ways to cut the domain, in case one day the vassal king becomes big and threatens your rule..."

Zhu Yunwen's brows were furrowed, his eyes were red, and he looked sad.

"Zheng Hai, Grandpa Huang told you to go in. Zhu Yunwen's voice was not loud, but it startled Zheng Hai.

Lao Zhu, tell me to go in? What is the situation? If Lao Zhu wants to arrange things, shouldn't he ask Song Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard

? What is the situation when he asks me to go in?

Zheng Hai stood in place and was stunned for a while.

"Brother Zheng, what are you stunned about, don't go in quickly. Feng Zhiyuan, who was beside him, gently patted Zheng Hai's shoulder and reminded Zheng Hai.

"Oh, oh, I'll go in!" Zheng

Hai came back to his senses and saw Zhu Yunwen looking sluggish, looking sad, and slowly walking outside.

Walking into the dormitory, there was a little eunuch in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's window.

Zheng Hai knew this eunuch, who was Zhu Yunwen's personal eunuch named Changsheng.

The smell of herbs came to his face, and Zheng Hai smelled the fragrance of ginseng.

He couldn't help but look at the small stool next to the bed, where there was a medicine bowl.

That's where the scent of ginseng wafts in.

Lao Zhu, it seems that he is dying, this should be using a hundred years of ginseng to continue his life, and I don't know how many days I can hang it.

Zheng Hai thought as he approached Zhu Yuanzhang's bed.

"I called you both in to give you an explanation.

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was not loud, but he still pronounced clearly.

Zheng Hai and the little eunuch Changsheng knelt beside the bed, not daring to make a sound.

"Get up, both of you, and come to me. I only tell the two of you about this matter, I hope you two will not disappoint me!"

Zheng Hai walked to the side of the eunuch Changsheng, and the two of them were next to Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon bed.

"I, I've prepared an iron box for Yun Wei and put it in the dark compartment... You are the people Yun Wei trusts the most..."

"If one day, Yun Wei encounters a disaster that cannot be avoided, then it is up to you to take out the iron box. I have prepared a few things for Yun Wei..."

Two days later, on the 10th day of the leap month in the 31st year of Hongwu (1398 AD), Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, died.

Zhu Yuanzhang left an edict: "I have been in the Mandate of Heaven for 30 years, I have been anxious and anxious, and I will not slack off every day, and I will benefit the people." Nai is from a humble beginning, without the knowledge of the ancients, good and evil, not far away.

Now we have the natural principle of all things, and there is a sense of ridicule and sorrow. The emperor's grandson Yunwen is filial piety, the world is in the heart, and it is appropriate to ascend to the throne. Internal and external civil and military ministers work together to assist the government to reassure our people.

Funeral rituals, no gold and jade. The mountains and rivers of Xiaoling are not changed because of this. The subjects of the world, crying for three days, are all relieved, and there is no harm in marrying.

The kings are in the kingdom, and they do not go to the capital. Those who are not in the order will be pushed to do so. "
