Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1187

The reason is very simple, because Zhu Yuanzhang heard a key point from Wei Wu's words just now, that is, Wei Wu knows how to cure it.

However, Wei Wu had never studied medicine, and even though he knew the methods and processes of treatment, he did not dare to treat people casually.

The problem is that carbuncle on the back is a serious disease and is a terminal illness in this era. It cannot be cured by ordinary medical means.

If Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know when Xu Da would die, he wouldn't have made this choice, but now there is no other choice.

If Xu Da were left to other doctors, even the imperial physician, he would only be able to hold on for a few days at most, and the final outcome would still be death.

Since there was a death risk either way, Zhu Yuanzhang would rather take a gamble. At least Wei Wu knew how to cure this serious disease.

But Xu Da's life is his own, and Xu Da has family. Even if he wants to gamble, it should not be Zhu Yuanzhang who makes the decision.

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang asked Wei Wu to go to Xu's house with him and let his old brother make the decision himself.

Wei Wu knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, so he didn't say anything more and nodded slightly to show that he would cooperate.

Afterwards, Wei Wu and Zhu Biao followed Zhu Yuanzhang out of the palace and came to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Seeing the emperor coming, the servants in the mansion became busy, and soon Xu Yungong, the eldest son of Xu Da, Duke of Wei, came with his family to greet him.

(Xu Da's eldest son was originally named Xu Yungong, but later changed his name to Xu Huizu to avoid the taboo of Zhu Yunwen.)

Looking at the family members bowing in front of him, Wei Wu also understood why Zhu Yuanzhang did not come to visit Xu Da.

After going through the simple process, Xu Yungong brought Zhu Yuanzhang, Wei Wu and others to Xu Da's room.

As soon as they entered the room, they smelled a strong aroma of medicinal herbs, and then saw Xu Da lying on his side on the hospital bed recuperating.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for not being able to stand up and greet you."

"Okay, we old brothers don't need to be so particular."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand casually, then turned around and looked at the Xu family behind him and said:

"Yun Gong stays, everyone else leave!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the Xu family members saluted him in unison, then quickly left the room and closed the door.

After everyone left, Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak to Xu Yungong, who looked puzzled, but went to sit beside Xu Da's bed.

"Tian De, remember how we brothers fought on the battlefield so heroically, and now you are plagued by a terrible illness."

"You can't even leave the bed. It's so frustrating to see you like that, so I brought Xiao Wu here with you!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Xu Da looked in the direction he pointed towards Wei Wu. He had heard of Wei Wu a long time ago.

Although he was not in the capital, he could still hear relevant news and knew how much Wei Wu had contributed to the Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for his duty, he would have wanted to return to Beijing to meet the youngest duke long ago, and it would be best if they could have a drink and chat.

However, he had to guard the border and had no chance to meet Wei Wu. When he returned to the capital, Wei Wu had left the capital again.

I didn't expect that the first time we met, I would be lying on the bed seriously ill. I couldn't help but say with some emotion:

"It's true, heroes emerge from young men!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Wu bowed in return and said:

"Duke Wei, you are too kind!"

Xu Da nodded and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. Now that there were not many people in the room, the way he addressed Zhu Yuanzhang also changed.

"Brother, why did you bring the Duke of Zhenguo here this time?"

"Heal your carbuncle on your back!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose, but he added another sentence after he finished speaking.

"This is risky and may result in death, but there is also a chance of recovery. Tiande, it's up to you to decide whether to treat or not."

"Before that, I have something to tell you. You can make a decision after listening to it!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned and looked at Xu Yungong.

"Yun Gong, please step aside first. You are not allowed to come in unless we tell you to!"

Xu Yungong looked at Xu Da silently. In fact, he didn't want to leave. After all, what was going to happen next was related to his father's life.

But the emperor had already issued the decree, and he had no choice but to salute Zhu Yuanzhang with helplessness in his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Xu Yungong left the room, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da and said:

"Tian De, what I am going to tell you next, there are less than five people in the entire Ming Dynasty who know about it, so just keep it in your heart."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Xu Da forced himself to cheer up, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously and said:

"Don't worry, big brother. I understand."

"Ok!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then pondered for a moment before slowly speaking and telling Wei Wu's origins.

When Xu Da heard Zhu Yuanzhang say that Wei Wu came from more than 600 years ago, he looked at Wei Wu as if he had seen a ghost.

Yes, Xu Da’s first reaction was not to question what Zhu Yuanzhang said, but to firmly believe it, which is why he was so shocked.

Xu Da knew Zhu Yuanzhang when he was 22 years old. The two brothers had been together for so many years, and they knew each other very well.

He knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang would not talk nonsense about such things. Since he said it, it must be true.

Just as Xu Da was filled with shock, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again:

"Six hundred years later, back carbuncle is no longer an incurable disease. It can even be said to be a minor illness that can be easily cured."

"Xiao Wu knows how to treat this disease, but he has never studied medicine, so we say this matter is very risky."

"Originally, we didn't want you to take this risk. Even if it meant more pain, at least you were still alive. But..."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly paused here, hesitated for a long time and was unable to say the rest of the words.

Xu Da was not stupid. Seeing him like this, he immediately guessed that it might be related to his own life.

So when Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated, Xu Da said very calmly:

"Brother, if this is about my death date, just tell me directly! I'm fine."

"Hey!"

After hearing Xu Da's response, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly, and then slowly said:

"I asked Xiao Wu, and according to the history he knows, you did die of a carbuncle on your back, on February 27th of this year."

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Xu Da was still a little dazed when he heard the date of his death.
