There is indeed no special medicine for tuberculosis in this era. Zhu Youlang is not a holy doctor who can rejuvenate his life. He can only use the best means to treat Zhu Cixuan as much as possible.

Whether he can survive depends on his fate.

This incident was indeed a huge blow to Zhu Youlang.

When a person reaches middle age, there is a problem with the heir's health, which means that Zhu Youlang has to distract himself and think about the problem of the Chu Jun's alternative.

In this way, if Zhu Cixuan has a short and two shortcoming, Zhu Youlang can also have a substitute as soon as possible so that he will not be completely at a loss.

The stability and continuation of imperial power in the feudal era was really important.

If this cannot be done, the continuity of any policy cannot be guaranteed.

It is not so much for the benefit of a family, but rather for the people.

After all, only when the policy is continuated can the people benefit.

Any dynasty changes must be repeated.

Of course, this incident also reminded Zhu Youlang from the side that the process of the Northern Expedition must be stepped up.

Although he is in his prime, he must consider the successor as much as possible and hand over a complete Ming Dynasty to the heirs.

Suddenly, Zhu Youlang felt powerless, and he was really too small in front of the whole world.

However, after Wu Sangui took over Guizhou, he sent someone to negotiate with the local chieftains and reached a preliminary agreement, that is, the two sides did not interfere with each other.

Wu Sangui would not collect taxes from these chieftains, nor would he send officials to the chieftains' territory. In response, the chieftains could not contact anyone other than Wu Sangui, and there was a delicate balance between the two sides.

In fact, Wu Sangui himself is quite worried about whether Guizhou can be kept.

It is easy to take down Guizhou, after all, Zhao Liangdong, a native chicken and treasure, ran away without even resisting.

Wu Sangui took Guizhou without any effort.

But now the situation in the entire south is obvious. The Ming army has almost unified the south, and even Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian have been recaptured recently.

This makes Guizhou and Yunnan look very eye-catching.

Although Wu Sangui's strength is stronger than Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, he has no confidence in winning if he fights with the Ming army.

After all, the Ming army now has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the entire Jiangnan region is supported. In terms of morale, both sides are completely incomparable.

So Wu Sangui was considering how to rule Yunnan and Guizhou without angering the Ming army as much as possible.

It is best to reach an agreement with Emperor Yongli to allow Wu Sangui to conquer Yunnan and Guizhou.

So he immediately sent an envoy to Guangxi to meet Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo's status in the Yongli court is self-evident.

Wu Sangui brought the words to Li Dingguo, which was equivalent to bringing them to Emperor Yongli.

The next thing I have to wait is the reply.

Of course, Wu Sangui is just a temporary solution.

After all, the Ming army is now in great power, and the Qing army is completely suppressed, and it is very embarrassed and can only defend.

So Wu Sangui is now close to the Ming army.

Once the situation reverses, the Qing army gains an advantage. Then Wu Sangui will tear up the agreement without hesitation and turn to cooperate with the Qing court as soon as possible.

In the eyes of people like Wu Sangui, courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame are nothing, and the most important thing is always the word "interest".

For the sake of his benefit, he even betrayed his own mother, let alone others.

He has been jumping repeatedly throughout his life to earn more benefits.

Born in a chaotic world, it was just the perfect way for Wu Sangui to let me down the world, not let the world down the world, and to the extreme.

Two flowers bloom, each with one branch.

But it is said that when Li Dingguo saw the messenger sent by Wu Sangui, he was just a bag.

He had just recovered Guangdong and Guangxi, and it was the time to be in full swing.

Wu Sangui sent an envoy to see him at this time, and it was like throwing dirty water on him.

No matter what Wu Sangui is thinking, even if he wants to surrender to the court, he should not send someone to find him.

What would Your Majesty think bypassing the court like this?

The emperor is no longer the timid emperor of the past.

Now the emperor is wise and powerful, and he is arbitrary, and he has no sand in his eyes!

Wu Sangui did this seem to be testing him, but in fact he was pushing Li Dingguo into the fire pit.

Li Dingguozhi felt very uncomfortable!

How to deal with this messenger is particularly critical. If the handling is inappropriate, it will arouse suspicion of the emperor.

This is not a joke.

You should know that Li Dingguo is a general with heavy troops, and every move is under the surveillance of the Jinyiwei.

Li Dingguo had seen the power of the Jinyiwei, and they saw every move of his ministers. After recording and tidying up, he sent someone to the emperor.

Many ministers of the Yongli Dynasty were dealt with in this way.

Li Dingguo didn't want to follow their footsteps.

He immediately asked a counselor to discuss countermeasures. Now his every move is stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and he will be doomed if he takes a wrong step.

Countless people wanted him to be unlucky and stepped on his shoulders to the top.

Li Dingguo naturally had to be more cautious and not give them a chance.

"Prince, I think this envoy must be sent to Nanjing immediately."

Staff Zhou Yan said solemnly.

Li Dingguo frowned and said, "Why do you say this? Wouldn't you just beheaded and express your attitude?"

Zhou Yan waved his hand quickly and said, "No!"

He paused and said, "If the prince killed the envoy on the spot, it means that the prince was guilty. In this way, His Majesty would doubt the prince."

"But what if I send this envoy to Nanjing and he goes around it again? I was originally innocent, but if he spit out a mouthful of dirty water, wouldn't it be a loss to death?"

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "It's not true. The pure one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid. The prince is upright and not afraid of shadows. What's there to be afraid of? And the key to this is Your Majesty's attitude, not the words of the messenger alone, or the act of censors catching shadows. As long as Your Majesty trusts the prince, the prince will not be at all dangerous. On the contrary, if Your Majesty thinks that the prince has reservations, he may think more."

Li Dingguo thought about it carefully and felt that what Zhou Yan said was not without reason.

The emperor's attitude is indeed decisive. As long as the emperor trusts him, nothing is a problem.

"Let me think about it carefully."

Li Dingguo rubbed his forehead and thought carefully.

He took the initiative to send the envoy to Nanjing to prove that he had no ghost in his heart and did not reach any agreement with Wu Sangui.

In other words, even if the messenger holds grudges and acts of slandering, he will not take the initiative to send the messenger to Nanjing from the motivation.

I believe the emperor will understand this ideal after thinking about it carefully.

When the failure continues to be in trouble, the longer I delay, the easier it is to arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

"Then do it like this. I ordered someone to tie this guy up and send it to Nanjing immediately and hand it over to His Majesty's Holy Prison."
