It is indeed very doubtful to pursue the cause of death of Emperor Tianqi in history. Even the similar Emperor Zhengde's fall into the water and death can be classified as a conspiracy theory.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, perhaps because of the limited medical skills at that time, lung infection after choking water was not as easy to treat as in later generations. In ancient times, it was not unusual for a small cold to kill a person.

What's more, the Imperial Hospital is not so reliable, and it would rather be useless to treat the emperor than take risks. It is said that a serious illness cannot be cured, and a minor illness cannot be cured.

Or maybe it was an interest group, mainly a civil servant group, who was dissatisfied because of the blow and took the opportunity to attack.

But in the final analysis, it is not as simple and easy as some people think.

To be simple and easy, there is nothing more than poisoning, what foods, what drinks, or the medicine soup that the emperor drank for a headache and cold.

However, the food in the palace is controlled by eunuchs, and eunuchs rely on the emperor to survive, so they will basically not be bribed and used by civil servants.

It is unlikely that medicine soup. Imperial hospitals are mostly hereditary, not to mention being loyal, at least they must consider their lives. Moreover, prescriptions and decoctions have strict supervision and procedures, and it is not easy to deal with the problem.

As for what kind of assassin, it may only appear in novels and movies.

The emperor's security can refer to the strict level of the head of state in later generations. Unless you have mastered the exact whereabouts of the emperor, you may have a chance to hit it while he comes out to show off.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao believes that if the civil servant group wants to take the initiative, it can only take advantage of the opportunity, that is, find the opportunity.

What kind of opportunity? History has explained.

After the little carpenter fell into the water and became ill, it was not fatal, at least it could last for a while. At this time, someone offered the fairy dew drink, and the sweet milk was very delicious, and finally made the little carpenter become an immortal and ascend to the sky.

Are you quite familiar with it? The little carpenter's father just took elixirs and kicked his legs, and he didn't learn from his lessons.

Who is Zhu Youxiao? He is knowledgeable, cultured, ideals and morals. What kind of immortal medicine and magic pills can fool him?

Despite such a profound understanding, Zhu Youxiao did not take it lightly. He purged the palace, strengthened security, improved the eyes and ears of the factory guards, and reduced the number of private visits in secret. He was as timid as a mouse and was quite afraid of death.

If your ambition is not fulfilled, how can you say you will die easily? I really want to live another five hundred years.

It is precisely because Zhu Youxiao cherishes his life that he will not do any stupid things like "the emperor's commander" and does not need to gild his face or leave a name in history. That is why he has to explain it more carefully and meticulously.

This not only includes Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong who were going to Beijing to report their duties in the autumn, but also these generals who were going to fight and the reserve officers who replaced them.

"Cao Qing is the best of the three armies, but as a senior general, you should know your responsibilities and never take risks..."

Zhu Youxiao rewarded a batch of the latest special telescopes to the generals one by one, and comforted and gave warm words, saying that the deep expectations were touching.

Cao Wenzhao knelt on one knee, took the emperor's reward with both hands, and said with a sigh: "Long live the advice, I will remember it in my heart and will never let down the hope."

The emperor smiled and stretched out his hand to support Cao Wenzhao. He called Zhou Yuji again and gave him a reward, saying, "Zhou Qing is loyal and brave, I feel relieved."

Zhu Youxiao admired Zhou Yuji's loyalty and righteous death most. History has changed. He hoped that Zhou Yuji could achieve success and promotion. There is also the wife of Zhou Yuji who fought to the death and refused to surrender in the history books. The title of imperial edict is waiting for Zhou Yuji to return after fighting!

Although his words were short, they showed the emperor's appreciation. Reassurance was a very high evaluation of Zhou Yuji.

Zhou Yuji also knelt down and thanked him for his reward, and said with a sigh: "Long live the appreciation of me, I will make contributions to Liaodong and destroy slaves, so that Long live the war will be no longer worried about war."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Youxiao helped Zhou Yuji up, looked up at the generals, and said loudly: "Prepare the affairs of the king and the world, and win the reputation of his life and death. I have this expectation for all the ministers, and I will not hesitate to be promoted to the title of marquis. All the ministers will be able to live up to my expectations and return to their achievements."

After pausing, Zhu Youxiao made a promise, "When the troops headed to Liaodong, I would not go to see them off for military secrets. On the day of the triumphant return, I will leave the city to welcome you in person and respect you a glass of celebration wine."

"I thank Long Sui Long You, and I will never let down the long Sui Long You, and I will pacify Liao and destroy slaves, so as to resolve the worries of border affairs." Cao Wenzhao knelt down first and made a promise loudly.

The generals had representatives and knelt down one after another, and the bold and heroic voices resounded throughout the hall.

Feudal society emphasizes the reward of one's kindness, and the most difficult thing to repay is that one's death is the end. This is the so-called loyalty and righteousness.

The goal of life is nothing more than promotion and wealth. Most people are like this. It is pure and pure, except for those who want to seek welfare for all mankind.

The emperor was both a kindness from the emperor and a decisive figure in achieving his life goals, and was not foolish and unruly. Then how could he be worried about the civil servants and military generals who did not have his own loyal ministers and would not be willing to serve his life?

Moreover, in ancient times, the emperor and the country had similar meanings. Repaying the king with death, serving the country with death, and repaying the country with death, all of which meant the same.

In this hall, there are all loyal and brave generals carefully selected by Zhu Youxiao.

Even without this summons, without the rewards given by himself, and without the sincere advice and expectations, the generals in the hall would not disappoint Zhu Youxiao.

But wouldn’t it be better if you have it? Zhu Youxiao feels that saying motivational words will have a more doubling and doubled effect.

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao wants to end the Liaodong war next year.

Next year is the fifth year of the Age of Revelation. By the sixth year of the Age of Revelation, heavy floods broke out in the capital, droughts and locust plagues occurred in the north of the Yangtze River and locust plagues occurred in Shandong. In autumn, heavy floods broke out in the north of the Yangtze River and locust plagues occurred in Henan.

Disasters occur frequently, and there have been obvious signs of climbing toward the peak.

If there is a year of buffer time after the successful pacification of Liao, Zhu Youxiao would be able to arrange it more calmly. If the war continues, the Liaodong war combined with disaster relief supplies will put the already improved finances in embarrassment again.

To succeed in Ping Liao, it depends on Zhu Youxiao's investment at all costs, his foresighted arrangements, and more on loyal and brave generals and thousands of ordinary soldiers.

The bloody and sacrificed way to defend the country, and more importantly, it is not too much to protect Zhu Youxiao's dragon throne.

Moreover, improving the status of soldiers was not a temporary measure by Zhu Youxiao.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty expanded its territory, fought against polar bears to the north, seized warm and prosperous lands to the south, and fought against Western countries at sea, which also depended on the heroic struggle of soldiers.
