Jinling City, Imperial Palace.

The atmosphere of the palace seems a little dignified, and it is a little depressing.

When Zhu Di hurriedly came to the palace, Zhu Zhang's bedroom was brightly lit.

Many people have already come, including Zhu Quan and Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Di's arrival naturally attracted everyone's attention, Zhu Quan glanced at Zhu Di, but did not say anything.

Zhu Di also glanced at Zhu Quan.

Neither man said anything.

"How's my father?" Zhu Di asked, and the imperial doctor next to him smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Wang, whether the saint can wake up depends on the saint himself." ”

This sentence is equivalent to sentencing Zhu Zhang to death.

Everyone looked at each other, and then waited quietly next to them.

Time is slow, the spring night is very warm, the windows are open, and from time to time there is some fragrance of flowers wafting in.

Everyone was a little sleepy, but no one would leave.

In the second half of the night, Zhu Zhang suddenly woke up, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

"Has the Tang Army withdrawn?" Zhu Zhang's first sentence after waking up was this.

People don't know how to answer, this is a person who is about to get old, do they say something that reassures him, or something that makes him feel uneasy?

Everyone was a little entangled, and in the end, Zhu Yunwen was straightforward and said, "Grandpa Huang, the Tang army has not retreated yet." ”

Hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Zhu Zhang's face suddenly became ugly again.

"Didn't you retreat, didn't you retreat?"

Everyone nodded, Zhu Zhang sighed lightly, Tang Guo was facing the siege of several countries, and the situation was already very bad, but Li Yu still insisted on using troops here, and he was really bold.

And if the Tang army does not leave, the danger of their Ming Kingdom will never be lifted.

However, he felt that he could not control so much.

"You must defend Jinling City and my Ming Kingdom's family business, understand?"

"Grandpa Huang, don't worry, grandson, I will definitely defend Jinling City."

Zhu Zhang nodded: "Good grandson." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Di and Zhu Quan again, and he knew that whether Ming Guo could survive this crisis or not, his two sons played a great role.

"Father, rest assured, the son will do everything he can to repel the Tang army." Zhu Di immediately said, and at this time, Zhu Quan also hurriedly echoed: "Erchen and Ming Guo live and die together." ”

After hearing the words of his two sons, Zhu Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, with your words, my father will be relieved, my father knows that he can't survive, and after my father dies, he will block this news and not let people know."

Secret.

When the crowd heard this, they didn't think it was anything strange.

The current situation in the Ming Kingdom is very bad, if the people of the Tang State and the Song Kingdom, or let the people of the Ming State know the news of Zhu Zhang's death, then the demise of the Ming Kingdom will not be far away.

The Tang and Song kingdoms will increase their entry into the palace, and the morale of their Ming soldiers will be low, and the people of the Ming Kingdom will be even less confident, all of which will be unfavorable to their Ming Kingdom.

Therefore, the news of Zhu Zhang's death must be kept secret.

Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di both nodded in agreement, and after Zhu Zhang arranged it like this, he finally sighed: "I ...... I'm so tired...... I'm so tired......"

Zhu Zhang died.

The palace remained quiet so that nothing could be noticed.

And just after Zhu Zhang's death, Zhu Di and Zhu Quan left the palace in a hurry, each with their own soldiers and horses, and continued to guard Jinling City.

In Jinling City, smallpox is still raging, at first it was in the army, but then soon, many people in Jinling City were also infected with smallpox.

After these people were infected with smallpox, they became very restless and irritable, but in the face of this incurable disease, they had no choice but to wait for death.

Of course, some doctors are also trying to treat them, but their treatment is useless.

Others, on the other hand, are resisting people who have smallpox, and they want to live, so they want to kill them and burn them.

If they were burned, smallpox would not be able to spread, and they would have a better chance of survival.

Jinling City has become very chaotic, very chaotic.

Zhu Di did not make any measures in the face of this situation, because even he didn't know what to do.

"Is there smallpox on the Tang side?" Zhu Di only cared about the situation of the Tang Kingdom, if the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom were also infected with smallpox, they would have a chance to survive the Ming Kingdom.

The spies hurriedly ran over and said, "Lord Wang, people from Tang and Song have been infected with smallpox, but ............"

"But what?" Seeing that the spy was a little hesitant, Zhu Di immediately raised his eyebrows and asked.

The spy had no choice but to say, "But they seem to have a cure for smallpox, and nothing happened to their soldiers." ”

"What?" Hearing that Tang Jun actually had a cure for smallpox, Zhu Di suddenly felt that the whole person collapsed, originally he thought that smallpox was going to help them Mingguo, but now it seems that smallpox is going to destroy their Mingguo.

He knew very well what the consequences of the Tang army having a cure for smallpox would bring to their Ming Kingdom.

Their soldiers of the Ming Kingdom will gradually lose their combat effectiveness, but the Tang army has no effect, in this case, if the Tang army wants to attack the city, can they hold it?

Zhu Di became more and more uneasy, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.

That feeling of despair came over again.

"How can this be, how can this be, impossible, this impossible ......"

Zhu Di was a little dazed and at a loss, what else could he do in the face of today's situation?

"Could it be that the naïve is really going to destroy my Ming Kingdom?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but walk around, and after a long time, he finally stopped, and when he stopped, his eyes had become much firmer.

"No matter what difficulties my Ming Kingdom encounters, I must defend the Ming Kingdom, and I can't let the foundation of my Ming Kingdom be destroyed like this."

The decisions made by people in difficult times can be seen in a person's situation, at this time Zhu Di has left his life and death behind, he just wants to hold the Ming Kingdom.

How could his glorious Ming Kingdom die like this?

No, he won't.

After deciding, Zhu Di slowly calmed down again.

"The Tang army actually has a way to treat smallpox, so if my Ming Kingdom can find a way to treat smallpox, wouldn't it be able to defend Jinling City?"

And, to find a cure for smallpox, the best thing is to find it from the Tang Army or the Song Army.

"Someone."

"What does the prince command?" "Send someone to the Tang army camp to find a cure for smallpox."
