The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 673 The Emperor's Grandson, Inheriting the Fate of a Country

In Dongnuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi was reading the memorials.

His face seemed calm, but the rapid rustling of the paper could tell the anxiety in his heart.

No one spoke in the main hall, and the ministers closed their eyes to rest.

Half an hour passed, but no news came back. Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but whispered: "Send someone to take a look at Jamsil."

Xiao Jing was overjoyed, knowing that the opportunity to announce the good news had come: "I will go in person."

An announcement came from outside the door: Mr. Yan has an audience.

Yan Chengjin held up the hem of his official robe and carefully crossed the threshold.

Suddenly, the eyes in the hall gathered on him like a stream flowing into the sea.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was serious. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, but there was an eager light in his eyes.

The cabinet and the six ministries kept a close eye on Yan Chengjin.

After Yan Chengjin stood still, he bowed slightly and said: "The Crown Princess gave birth to a grandson, weighing eight pounds and eight taels."

The sound exploded in the hall, like a huge stone thrown into a lake.

"He is really the grandson of the emperor?" Emperor Hongzhi looked happy.

"The Ming Dynasty is prosperous!"

Liu Jian and several other officials all bowed, their faces full of joy.

Zhang Sheng from the Ministry of Rites said: "Without further delay, would your Majesty give your grandson a name?"

Yes, when a baby is born, of course he needs to be given a name.

The Zhu family was arranged according to seniority, and it was time to reach the generation with the character. Emperor Hongzhi was proud of the spring breeze and was brewing emotions.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given a name to the emperor's grandson." Yan Chengjin said.

Baiguan's expression collapsed and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

The emperor's name determines the fate of a country and determines the rise and fall of the court. It must be done with great caution and needs to be discussed by all officials.

Emperor Gao once made a rule that all descendants should be named according to their generational line, and the last word should be filled with the missing five elements.

Liu Jian asked anxiously: "What name did you choose?"

"Zhu Zai is mighty!" Yan Chengjin said.

Emperor Hongzhi's right eye twitched wildly, and his voice almost trembled: "Zhu... Zhu Zai is mighty?"

If he hadn't known that his surname was Zhu, he would have almost heard him as Piggy Weiwei.

Xiao Jing looked embarrassed, the name chosen by the prince was a bit clever.

"Nonsense... nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It has not yet been written into the imperial genealogy of the clan, nor has it been announced to the world. It can still be changed, and it can still be changed." Zhang Sheng said hurriedly.

But the historians have written it into the annals of history. The section about Zhu Zai's mighty power will at least be secretly written into the unofficial history by the officials present, Yan Chengjin thought to himself.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and followed the ancestral system of Emperor Gao. The name should be based on the five elements missing in the destiny.

Xiao Jing was ordered to go to the imperial prison.

Zhou Zheng knew in his heart that His Majesty would summon him sooner or later, so he had already settled it: "Your Majesty, the Emperor's grandson is destined to be short of land."

There was silence in the hall.

"How can there be a shortage of soil in the world if it is not the king's soil?" Emperor Hongzhi looked suspicious of Zhou Zheng's skills.

The living officer brought the birthday of the emperor's grandson and gave it to Zhang Sheng and Li Dongyang of the Ministry of Rites.

Yan Chengjin looked over and saw Zhang Sheng pinching his fingers quickly and muttering something. Then he bowed and said, "What Qin Tianjian said is true. The emperor's grandson is destined to be short of land."

When the Yan Mansion comes, Zhang Sheng will be asked to help with the calculations.

"Your Majesty, in the future the emperor's grandson will inherit the throne, and his name will carry the destiny of the country, but the five elements are lacking..." Zhou Zheng explained.

Grandson of the Emperor, the lack of soil in the Five Elements has been determined, and the next step is to get the last word.

But Emperor Hongzhi and the Ministry of Rites looked troubled.

Everywhere in the world, as far as the eye can see, is imperial land, how can there be a shortage of land? This is contradictory!

Only a king who has subjugated his country will lose his territory, that is, lack of land.

There needs to be one word to resolve the contradiction.

As a later generation, Yan Chengjin saw that the princes were racking their brains and thought that they paid too much attention to it.

However, the name determines luck, and it is Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral system. This has continued for nearly a hundred years and has naturally become a tradition.

Emperor Hongzhi turned his eyes: "Yan Qing's family, I think you seem to have an idea?"

Which dragon eye did you see?

Yan Chengjin thought quickly and named the emperor's grandson in front of the princes, which showed his knowledge.

It seems that this guy probably won't be able to get it out.

Li Dongyang hummed in his heart, but his mouth squirmed slightly and uttered a word inaudibly.

Yan Chengjin tilted his head slightly, then bowed: "Mr. Li is reminding the subordinates. He must have already thought of it. Why don't we let Gong Li do the talking?"

Li Dongyang did not refuse: "The name must be chosen by your Majesty naturally. I will only mention one word for your Majesty, Kun!

Kun is the same as Kun.

Qian is the sky and Kun is the earth. The emperor's grandson will be the king of a country in the future. The whole world is the king's land. Zaikun means the king's land. It has the meaning of inheriting the king's land from the previous emperor.

Moreover, it is said in the Book of Changes that the terrain is weak and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement. This name also reflects the character of the emperor's grandson. "

All the officials nodded with satisfaction. This word is worth ten thousand times to the prince!

Kunzhong Obito complemented the five elements of the emperor's grandson, and Zhou Zheng felt very comfortable: "Your Majesty, I think this word is very good!"

Zhang Sheng bowed and said: "Qian and Kun are heaven and earth. Your Majesty goes up to heaven to listen. They are inseparable from heaven. They are Qian and Kun. I also think this word is very wonderful."

Yan Chengjin was a little stunned, Lao Taishan is really educated... The naming of my son in the future will all depend on you.

Xiao Jing brought the paper and pen with a smile.

Li Dongyang wrote three words on the paper: Zhu Zaikun

Zhu Zaikun!

Emperor Hongzhi murmured a few words and laughed loudly: "This is the name of the Zhu family. According to my will, I named my grandson Zhu Zaikun!"

Yan Chengjin thought this word was good and continued the naming tradition of Lao Zhu's family. He would definitely not recognize it.

Anyway, he couldn't recognize it.

Xiao Jing hurriedly went to inform the clan government, and the General Administration Department was responsible for writing the residence newspaper to spread it to the world.

His Majesty was so happy that even the execution of the death row inmates was postponed for one year.

Li Mansion,

After returning from duty, Li Dongyang walked into the mansion with his hands on his back. After Qing'e got married, he felt more and more deserted in the mansion.

Madam Zhu was sitting in the main hall. When she saw him, she said, "Master, I heard that the Crown Princess gave birth to a grandson?"

"Well, Your Majesty named me Kun."

Mrs. Zhu sat closer, with a smile on her face: "When will the master and I go to Yan's Mansion? It has been three months since Qing'e got married, so there should be some movement, right?"

This Li Dongyang has never asked Yan Chengjin. The married daughter threw water and has not been seen for three months.

However, I suddenly felt something was wrong: "Qing'e is not your biological child, so why are you so interested in her?"

Although she married into the Li family, she never forgot that she was from the Chengguo Palace. She said, "You are the second minister of the cabinet, and Yan Chengjin is the censor of the capital. With just one word, you can transfer your younger brother to the capital camp." ”

Li Dongyang snorted coldly: "Talented Nanjing Military Camp! Don't mention it again in the future. If it reaches His Majesty's ears, it will cause disaster."

Yanfu,

Yan Chengjin walked into the courtyard, and Li Qing'e stepped forward to take the official hat: "My lord, the snow lotus has sprouted."

The sweet potatoes were planted for more than ten days, and at the end of April, two green shoots sprouted.

"Can it really be grown?"

The fat maid mumbled angrily: "Miss comes to see it every day and even pulls out weeds herself. Of course it can be planted."

This maid is getting fatter and fatter when she comes to the house, and she doesn't know how much rice she has to eat.

Yan Chengjin looked at her deeply and really wanted to give her back to Li Dongyang, "From tomorrow on, you and He Neng will catch the chickens together."

Li Qing'e's face moved slightly, and she persuaded: "Mr. Fengjiao has been outspoken since she was a child. Qing'e also likes her straightforwardness, so she stays by her side."

"Uncle, I was wrong." The fat maid's eyes were filled with tears.

Yan Chengjin sighed secretly: "You can no longer eat running chicken or driving chicken. You choose one by yourself."

"Catch the chicken..."

well……

Li Qing'e remembered something and said to Yan Chengjin: "When my husband went to court, Ye Qianhu came to ask about this thing. I'm afraid he has already reported it to your majesty."

Yan Chengjin's face tightened. He still didn't know how to grow sweet potatoes. His Majesty knew that and wanted to press him again.

I wonder if Zhu Houzhao is strict with his mouth?
