First Prince of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 788

  Chapter 788 Birthday

  The sacrificial text is easy to write, and everything is not difficult. With Zhu Biao returning to his post, the operation of the court began to speed up. Both father and son have great plans and great achievements to achieve, but they suffer from many officials in the court.

  Naha in Liaodong also formally led the land to belong to him. Zhu Yuanzhang was canonized as Doctor Haixi Hou Tejin Ronglu and was awarded the Tongzhi of the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion.

  The title is only Marquis, mainly because Naha surrendered too late. Many former Yuan officials in Liaodong surrendered, and Liaodong has already been occupied by Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, if he led the entire Liaodong to surrender, he would at least be a duke.

  Liaodong tentatively decided to use the military system to control and dispatched Nanxiong Hou Zhaoyong Dongping Hou Hanzheng to take over the soldiers and horses sent by Naha, and took advantage of the situation to sweep up the Jurchen ministries.

  Naha led only a thousand riders to Beijing. In addition to the gold, silver and jewels to be offered, he also brought back to Zhu Biao the head of the head of the Jurchen Udoli tribe, Huihoumu Yewujuman, and there was no shortage of everyone.

  Mengge Timur, the Zhaozuyuan emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is among them. The fate of the Jurchen Ministry is not yet clear, but the surname Aixinjueluo will not appear.

   In the next few months, Daming steadily implemented the policy according to the content of the plan of the imperial court, saving resources and opening up streams, and recuperating the people. On the premise of stabilizing agriculture and mulberry, it promoted commercial development and gradually increased commercial taxes.

  Repatriated more than 10,000 elite soldiers from northern Xinjiang to the Beijing camp to maintain the vigor of the Beijing camp, then transferred soldiers from the Beijing camp and local areas to supplement the frontier, and rewarded the frontier generals and soldiers.

  The Marquis of Jiangyin, who had waited for a long time to board the ship, finally waited for the right ocean current and monsoon, and led the ocean-going fleet to go out to sea in a mighty manner, followed by many merchant caravans and even civilian ships.

The chaos in Goryeo was even worse. Wang Xuan’s blood was doubtful. His orders were not obeyed in his own palace. He heard that he didn’t have enough food for a day, and his royal robes were worn out, and the officials even openly called him a wild species. .

  The Goryeo family planned to support the children of other clans, but without exception, they all died suddenly due to various reasons, causing the clans to flee and change their surnames one after another.

   It is precisely because of this that a recognized **** has no power in his hands, but still sits on the throne. The struggle among nobles is becoming increasingly fierce. Many families that have been passed down for hundreds of years have disappeared in a short period of time.

  …

  In August, Zhu Biao stood outside the dormitory a little anxiously. After all, Emperor Liang and Wang Rui gave birth prematurely, but because it was expected, the imperial physician Wenpo was already in place.

   Pots of hot water were brought in, and pots of blood were brought out. There were endless screams of pain and screams, but it didn’t take long for them to weaken.

  The maid inside quickly came out to report: “Liangdi is too weak and has no strength. The imperial physician cut open the precious ginseng, took a piece of decoction, and asked Wen Po to feed Liangdi.”

  Ginseng has the effect of replenishing qi, blood and physical strength, but it is also harmful to pregnant women who are bleeding.

  After a long time, the imperial physician, who was sweating profusely and looked extremely pale, pushed the door out. Zhu Biao’s heart sank, and there was no movement from inside, let alone the sound of the child’s first cry.

   His footsteps were a little weak, but he adjusted back immediately, and even added a little force on purpose. No matter what the situation was, it was somewhat expected.

The imperial physician stepped forward and bowed: “Liangdi gave birth to the emperor’s grandson, but now the breath of mother and child is weak, and Liangdi’s body can’t stand any tonic. The emperor’s grandson can still let the nanny take the tonic diet, but in the end it still needs to be taken.” It depends on God’s will.”

  Zhu Biao’s heart was up and down, and he couldn’t help being a little irritated: “It’s God’s will, I have been waiting for several months for God’s will, and finally gave birth. Do you still have to wait for several months of God’s will!”

  The imperial physician is about to bow down: “I am incompetent, please punish the crime, Your Highness.”

  Zhu Biao exhaled turbid air, and stretched out his hand to block the imperial physician: “I am a little anxious. Imperial physician Wang has been working hard these days. I see it in my eyes. I can’t blame you anyway.”

   “My humble minister is ashamed.”

   “Then can I go in and take a look at it?”

   “No, Emperor Liang’s bedroom will be tightly sealed from now on, and it is best for the emperor and grandson not to see anyone except the nanny.”

Zhu Biao nodded and turned to leave. The follow-up arrangement was handled by the princess. Soon the news spread all over the palace and outside the palace. It was obviously a happy event worth celebrating, but it became a taboo. His Highness didn’t even dare to say congratulations.

  …

In September of the fifth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of Zhongshu, led a hundred officials to invite: “Shaohao wrote the feeling of flowing rainbow, Shang Tang, the fate of the mysterious bird, Your Majesty’s two qi are in harmony with the gods, Jiulong baths the holy, the night when the stars never disappear, the auspicious light room In the dynasty, please allow all ministers and workers in the world to celebrate the festival of longevity.

The Jia decree was published, distributed to the world, and the salty decree was used for banquets. The officials offered nectar and wine every day, and the longevity wine, and the princes and relatives brought gold mirrors and ribbons. Make birthday wine and banquets, in order to hope that the holy decree will manifest the emperor’s grace and amnesty to the world. “

The crown prince entered and said: “In the past, my emperor ordered that the people in the world should be displaced. As a father, why should he be happy? He ordered that no banquets be held in the palace to celebrate, and the ministers and workers were not allowed to enter the congratulatory table. Test the incense and sit quietly all day long.”

   “Now the four seas are united, the people live in peace, and there is also the joy of Yunnan and Liaodong being attached to each other. Please ask for the grace of the father and the emperor.”

“allow.”

  …

  Emperor was born at the time of Ding Wei, Ding Chou Day, Renxu month, the year of Wuchen, that is, September 18th, the first year of Tianshun Emperor’s calendar. After more than ten days of preparations, a grand Longevity Festival is about to begin.

From early in the morning, both Fengtian Hall, Wuying Hall and Wenhua Hall and Kunning Palace began to play the sound of rites and music. First, the song of Linhao, called “Feilong Yin”, was played, and then the song of Taiping, called “Fengyunhui”, was played. The name of An Jianye’s song is “Qinghuangdu”, and the name of the song “Xi Shengping” is the name of the song “Xi Shengping”.

The song of the five-play Ping Youdu is called “He Shengchao”, the song of the sixth play to caress the barbarians is called “Longchi Banquet”, the song of the seventh play is called “Jiu Chong Huan”, the song of the eight-play Datong is called “Phoenix Song”, and the nine play The song of keeping peace is called “Wannianchun”.

Repeatedly like this, the emperor first accepted the congratulations of the officials in Fengtian Hall, and other elders and celebrities from various prefectures appeared on the list. The Holy One was very happy, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to revise the list to worship the heaven and worship the ancestors, and also ordered Zhongshu to draw up an imperial edict to reduce taxes Persuade Nong Sang, amnesty the world and have fun with the people.

  Luncheon is divided into civil and military halls. The emperor and all the nobles have a banquet in the Wuying hall, and the prince and officials have a banquet in the Wenhua hall.

During the dinner, the Holy Majesty and the Empress sat in the Kunning Palace to accept the congratulations from the prince and princess and the two little grandchildren. The prince presented gifts, most of which were hand-copied blessing scriptures, and the princess mostly hand-woven and embroidered shoes, socks and underwear , the emperor’s grandsons swayed from side to side with the big longevity peach in their arms and threw themselves into the arms of the empress.

  Zhu Yuanzhang was full of joy today, especially after seeing his two healthy grandsons presenting birthday peaches to him, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but think of his grandsons who were still in the East Palace, whom he had never met.

The emperor came closer and smelled the fragrance of the peaches. King Zhu Zhu of Chu smiled and said, “This longevity peach was presented to you by Yang Er, but it was also picked by the son and second elder brother himself. The emperor must eat all of it.” .”

  But Lao Zhu passed the peach in his hand to Zhu Biao who was beside him: “Go and send it to the child’s room and put it in the room. It is a blessing that our grandfather bestowed on him.”

  Zhu Biao was stunned and hurriedly excused: “Father Huang remembers it, so my heart is enough to take care of it, and Shou Tao asks Father to stay.”

  Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said with a smile: “Today we have a lot to eat, and we will eat one longevity peach with your mother later.”

  Empress Ma also persuaded: “Listen to your father, he will call the imperial physician for consultation every few days, and he will talk about it at night. If the child really recovers, your father will eat well and sleep soundly.”

  The onlookers are inevitably a little bit acid in their hearts. If my child is also sick in the future, the father probably won’t be so concerned, and even don’t hesitate to give his birthday peach.

  What is caring about the grandson? It’s clear that he loves the house and loves it. He can’t bear the elder brother’s worry and sorrow. It’s really partial.
