277 [The Son of Heaven, when the frontier is home]
The news that Concubine Zhuang was pregnant instantly spread throughout the court and the country.
It has been ten years since the emperor ascended the throne, and finally made the concubines' belly bigger. It's so rare!
Regardless of whether the child can give birth smoothly, whether the man or woman is born, whether the child can be raised in the future... At least one proves that the emperor has the ability to give birth. If this doesn't work, just give birth to a few more, there will always be one that can grow into adulthood.
The Imperial Hospital and the Sili Superintendent immediately started to work.
Especially the gynecologists in the 13th Department of the Imperial Hospital, the gynecologists are always ready to follow the orders. Xiao Fangmai Department (pediatrics) is also ready at all times, and they will come in handy next year.
The etiquette room of Silijian is running at full speed. This institution is commonly known as the "** Mansion", and its main responsibilities are as follows: selecting marriages for the prince and daughter, raising royal children, etc. The person in charge is the eunuch in charge of Silijian, and the level is very high.
Generally speaking, the name of a prince or a prince needs to be shaved in the etiquette room after a hundred days.
But Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait, so he recruited the well-educated scholars from the Hanlin Academy and gave countless alternative options. Although he quickly chose one, he did not dare to say it directly, because he was afraid of being unlucky and that his children would not live safely for a hundred days.
The meaning of moistening.
The name Zhu Houzhao chose for his son was Zhu Zai Fen.
Don’t blame it for being too uncommon. The Ming Dynasty royal family deliberately did it, which is to facilitate the people to avoid taboos.
Li Shimin's name was not unusual, which caused many officials to change their names at that time, and even the famous general Li Shiji (Xu Shiji) was changed to Li Shiji. In order to avoid the word "shi", the Bodhisattva had to give in, and Guanyin directly became Guanyin.
His father Li Yuan also turned the Longyuan Sword into the Longquan Sword.
The Ming Dynasty was much more relaxed, with homophones, similar characters, and single characters, so there is no need to avoid taboos.
For example, Zhu Houzhao, the normal way to write it should be "Zhu Houzhao". You can name it Li Houzhao or Zhang Houzhao, as long as you don't use "Houzhao" together. Whoever gives this name almost eliminates the possibility of violating a taboo? Those who violate the taboo will definitely be intentional!
Before the Hongzhi Dynasty, officials submitted memorials and reported to the emperor, prince's name, temple name, or posthumous title, and had to deliberately write less strokes. When Emperor Hongzhi arrived, they said they could write casually, and those who deliberately lacked strokes to show respect, would be dismissed from office and treated directly.
At least from the perspective of taboos, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty was particularly close to the people.
...
Leopard room.
Concubine Zhuang handed the cat to Huang E and sighed, "Girl, I'll leave this raccoon slave to you. The imperial physician said, "I'd better not raise cats, as they are easily frightened. Your Majesty is also making a big fuss and let the eunuch drive the cat in the leopard room, saying that even a cat cannot be left."
Huang E smiled and said, "Your Majesty is also caring for the Empress."
Concubine Zhuang was sweet and distressed: "Oh, it's not allowed to do this now, and that's not allowed. Your Majesty doesn't even let me touch the sword."
"Swords are sharp weapons, and they should be taboos," said Huang E.
Not only Daojian and Maoer, but now the censors have found new business. They have submitted memorials every day, asking Concubine Zhuang to return to the harem to live in, so it is not advisable to stay in the leopard room. After all, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the leopard room school, and the shouts of killing sounds shook the sky when they go out for exercise training.
Zhu Houzhao was actually moved, but that's all.
The harem made the emperor feel uncomfortable, and it was still comfortable to live in the leopard room. Moreover, the schoolyard of the leopard room is far away from the emperor's sleeping place, so it is not particularly noisy.
Concubine Zhuang smiled and said, "I have to say that, I have to thank Wang Erlang for his words. Your Majesty often lamented that it was Wang Erlang who expanded his territory in the Western Regions, held the enemy chiefs and presented it to the palace. God sent this child to the response, indicating that the Ming Dynasty was revived and the country was stable."
"This is a great blessing for Your Majesty and the Empress. Even if you don't have my uncle, the Empress will definitely be pregnant." Huang E said.
As Huang E spoke, he felt sad. He thought: Sister Ling'er is so easy to get pregnant, why didn't I have any movement? The total time I had sex with my second brother was four or five months.
The two women were talking to themselves, when Zhu Houzhao suddenly came, and Huang E hurriedly left.
"Brother Emperor has something to worry about?" Concubine Zhuang asked.
Zhu Houzhao changed into a smile: "No, everyone is happy news, even God is celebrating that I have children."
Concubine Zhuang no longer continued to ask questions, but instead changed the topic and said she wanted to learn from female workers and sew clothes for her children themselves.
Zhu Houzhao was actually very upset and wanted to take the troops personally to have sex with the little Mongolian prince.
As soon as I received an urgent report from the front line, the Mongolian army invaded from Yulin and Ningxia at the same time, with more than 100,000 grassland cavalry. Suide, Qingjian, Guyuan and other places, not only the people were captured, but also the military fortresses along the way were also breached, with heavy losses to the point of forcing the Minister of Revenue to death.
It would be fine if the little Mongolian prince was, but the three guards of Duoyan came to cause trouble.
Those three watchdogs raised by the Ming Dynasty have now retaliated against their masters and have to cross the gap in the Great Wall from time to time to rob the border.
By the way, someone began to impeach Wang Yuan.
Because Wang Yuan’s job is to governor Shaanxi and Gansu, although his main responsibility is to manage the Western Regions, Shaanxi’s defense is nominally under his jurisdiction. Now the little Mongolian prince leads more than 100,000 troops to invade Shaanxi, Wang Yuan is definitely the number one target for the blame!
All these are bad news, which makes Zhu Houzhao become more and more angry the more she thinks about it.
After coaxing Concubine Zhuang for a while, Zhu Houzhao went to the schoolyard and recruited Jiang Bin, Xu Tai and other generals to discuss military affairs.
Zhu Houzhao asked: "The Yansui and Ningxia towns are innumerable money and food. Why did they encounter the Tatar army and the castles everywhere collapse at once?"
Jiang Bin said: "Improper employment, the garrison will be deteriorated, and the military discipline will be decadent, just like that."
Zhu Houzhao asked again: "How can we inspire the border town?"
Jiang Bin said: "Two methods are: one to treat the exterior and the other to treat the root."
Zhu Houzhao asked: "What is treating the exterior and what is treating the root?"
Jiang Bin obviously had something in his stomach, and was not a simple slander: "It is like Wang Shilang (Wang Yuan) said, reforming the military system and reforming the military farm. This way, the root can be cured, but it has many difficulties and is slow to achieve results."
Zhu Houzhao said: "I know this, what is the treatment of exogenous treatment?"
Jiang Bin whispered: "Your Majesty personally sits in the border areas, selects generals, strictly enforces discipline, and rectifies military affairs. In this way, it will be effective in one year."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "I have to go there in person? Can't you go?"
Jiang Bin shook his head and said, "The border town has a general system, a governor, a censor, a governor, an eunuch, and a hereditary general. If the ministers go to rectify and embezzle them together, it is probably harder to truly inspire the border affairs than to ascend to heaven. Only if His Majesty himself sits in the border areas and issue orders in the name of the Holy Emperor, can all parties be honest and obedient for the time being."
"When the prince is born, I will lead the army in person!" Zhu Houzhao said, he was furious by the little Mongolian prince, and was furious by the wine bags in the border town.
Jiang Bin reminded: "Your Majesty, given the current situation in the border town, you cannot immediately command the troops in person. At least your Majesty must be rectified in the border area for one year. If you have one year to prepare, you will lead the newly trained army in the Leopard Room, and then you can compete with the little Mongolian prince!"
"Then let's wait another year." Although Zhu Houzhao was impatient, he could still wait for a year.
If civil servants get this news, they will probably be furious.
