The situation that Li Jie was most worried about finally happened. Less than half an hour after Lao Zhu passed away, Zhu Biao fainted due to excessive sadness. In fact, Zhu Biao has been guarding Lao Zhu during this period, and he has been unable to think about food and food every day. His body has been seriously overdrawn. Now that Lao Zhu left, Zhu Biao can no longer hold on in grief.

Faced with this situation, Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi immediately stood up. On the one hand, they asked the imperial doctor to treat Zhu Biao, and on the other hand, they blocked the news and comforted the people in the hall. After all, Lao Zhu is gone now. If the news of Zhu Biao falling ill is spread again, something might happen?

Fortunately, Zhu Biao was only unconscious for a while and soon woke up under the treatment of the imperial doctor, which made everyone relieved. Then Zhu Biao forced himself to support himself and summoned relevant people to make some arrangements, such as the funeral of Lao Zhu, the son-in-law Mei Yin, the government affairs were temporarily handled by Li Jie and Zhu Yunqi, and other ministers were assisted, etc.

Mei Yin, as one of Lao Zhu's most relatives, was very suitable for him to handle funeral matters. After all, Li Jie was a generation younger than him. Generally speaking, it was in accordance with etiquette and law that a son-in-law would serve his father-in-law's funeral.

As for government affairs, Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu had helped Zhu Biao deal with it before. Although they were in great pain at the time, they had accumulated a lot of experience and were barely able to take it over now. After all, the most important thing now is to let Zhu Biao take care of his health.

With Zhu Biao's arrangements, people's hearts finally stabilized. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Biao held the throne ceremony with his sick body. After all, the country cannot be without a king for a day, so when the old emperor passed away, the new emperor must ascend the throne to calm people's hearts.

The throne ceremony was actually prepared for a long time ago, and it was ordered by Lao Zhu personally during his lifetime, so it went very smoothly, but Zhu Biao's physical condition was really bad, so he almost couldn't hold on. After the ceremony, Li Jie and Zhu Yunqi immediately protected Zhu Biao and went back to rest.

For the next period of time, Li Jie and Zhu Yunqi lived in Wenhua Hall for almost a long time. Every day when they opened their eyes, there were piles of government affairs waiting for them to deal with.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao had already obtained the permission of Lao Zhu and began to decentralize some powers. Zhu Biao used several Grand Secretarys to form an advisory group to help him take charge of political affairs. This is the original cabinet. Although the power of the cabinet is still very small, it has already taken a prototype, which has also helped Li Jie and the others to relieve a lot of pressure.

However, compared to government affairs, what Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu are worried about is Zhu Biao's physical condition. You must know that Zhu Biao has just ascended the throne as emperor, and Lao Zhu's death also caused some turmoil within the Ming Dynasty, and people's hearts were even more uneasy. If Zhu Biao had something else at this time, it would be really a mess in the world.

So in this case, Li Jie and Zhu Yunqiu also took turns to visit Zhu Biao every day. In addition to reporting some important government affairs to him, he just told Zhu Biao to rest with peace of mind. It would be enough for them to deal with the outside matters.

However, like Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao was born to be a hard-working life. Even when he was sick, he was still concerned about the affairs of the court. Especially for Zhu Biao, who had just ascended the throne, as the new emperor, he urgently needed to prove that he could carry the entire empire alone, but now he was sick and could not do anything, which made Zhu Biao very unwilling to accept it.

It was precisely because of this mentality that Zhu Biao could not recover from the peace of mind. From time to time, he wanted to struggle to get up and shoulder the burden assigned to him by Lao Zhu. In the end, it was Li Jie and others who tried hard to persuade him to make Zhu Biao lie back. In fact, his body did not allow him to do anything.

"Brother-in-law, what should you do? My father was determined to get up and deal with government affairs quickly, but his health had not improved much. The imperial doctors tried their best. If this continues, I am really worried that my father's condition will worsen." After Zhu Yunxiu came back from Zhu Biao's bedroom that day, he couldn't help complaining to Li Jie.

"Your Majesty was too sad because the death of the late emperor was too sad, so he wanted to stand up early to prove himself, completely ignoring his physical condition, so it was useless to persuade us." Li Jie also sighed and said, "He had no good idea for Zhu Biao's current situation.

"What should I do? I can't let my father ruin his body like this all the time, right?" Zhu Yunxiu said distressed again. He was a little afraid of visiting Zhu Biao now, because every time Zhu Biao would pull him to ask about many government affairs. No matter how he persuaded him, Zhu Biao just refused to calm down.

"This..." Li Jie also looked embarrassed at this time. After a while, he said helplessly, "It's so difficult. Unless the old emperor is resurrected, the prince will not listen to anyone's words!"

Just as Li Jie finished speaking, Zhu Yuning walked in from outside the hall. The maid behind him also brought food boxes and other items. When he saw Li Jie and the others immediately spoke, "Husband, you must be hungry, come and have a meal soon!"

Zhu Yuning recently mourned Lao Zhu in the palace and was usually responsible for delivering food to Zhu Biao and Li Jie and others. Zhu Biao refused to eat because he was sick. Only Zhu Yuning persuaded him to eat some. Li Jie was too busy and sometimes he didn't even have to eat, so Zhu Yuning would deliver food in person.

"Sister, did my father eat it?" Zhu Yunxiu asked Zhu Yuning.

"I ate some, but my father's appetite is still not very good." Zhu Yuning sighed and replied. She, the eldest daughter, was naturally very concerned about Zhu Biao's body. She was just not helping Zhu Biao to eat more and reminded him to take a rest.

"I can't eat enough, and I can't rest well. Dad is really..." Zhu Yunxiu couldn't help but want to complain a few times when he heard this, but he didn't say anything halfway.

"My father is a person who values ​​feelings and has a strong relationship with Grandpa Emperor. The blow to his father when he goes there is a lot of money. If I were my father, I'd probably be like this." Zhu Yuning sighed again.

However, just as Zhu Yuning finished speaking, an eunuch rushed in from outside the hall and handed over a memorial to Li Jie. Li Jie opened it and looked at it, and then his eyes lit up and said excitedly: "General Lan is here, maybe his words can make His Majesty listen!"

"Yes! My father has always had a deep relationship with my uncle. Moreover, after my uncle came to the capital to take charge, he could quickly stabilize the court. Maybe he could feel at ease!" Zhu Yunxiu shouted excitedly when he heard the news that Lan Yu was coming back. Before his death, Lao Zhu summoned Lan Yu and Fu Youde to the capital, but both of them were guarding, so Lan Yu has only arrived back now.
