Chapter 240 Chen Han is going to be a father! Princess Jiangdu is pregnant!
Of course, the most important psychology everyone has now is envy.
It seems that after the Ming Dynasty has settled down, there will still be wars. It’s just that the place where the battle took place was far away from Ming Dynasty. But no matter where he goes, for generals, there are battles to fight, which means there are military merits to earn. So they all felt itchy. You must know that Mu Ying has made great contributions when she was stationed in Yunnan. If not for being Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, Mu Ying would have been granted the title of Duke Lord.
He could even be granted the title of a county prince, but due to his father-son relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, Mu Ying was not granted a title when he was guarding Yunnan. It's probably OK now. Zhu Yuanzhang also had this idea. He had long wanted to name his adopted son.
In fact, because Muying was deeply favored by him, she followed him since she was eight years old.
He has truly doted on this child for so many years. Now that he saw that all the civil and military officials were convinced, he felt even happier. All my juniors are up to date.
Chen Han's reforms and Mu Ying's commanding ability. Everyone worked hard for the construction of the Ming Dynasty, and they all achieved success. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his son Zhu Biao was also alive and well, he was filled with emotions. He even thought that since we were already in the Zen position, why should we be emperor? Let our Biao'er be the emperor. He had Mu Ying and Chen Han under him, and with the help of so many vassal kings and brothers, Zhu Biao could not push the Ming Dynasty to its peak.
You have already made great achievements in expelling the Tartars and restoring China, so don't try to rob your son of his achievements. Thinking of this, his thoughts on the Zen position became even more serious. He even wanted to take off his burden early and watch quietly how the Ming Dynasty would develop after Chen Han's reform? After finishing his emotion, Zhu Yuanzhang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shouted, "Open the silk and let us see, what gift did Mu Ying give?" Zhao Shenyan couldn't wait to wave his hand, "Uncover the cloth!!" Zao Lishi grabbed one leg of the red silk cloth, swung his strong arm, and pulled the red silk cover open with a splash.
I just saw something like that shining in the sun, and once I saw it, I couldn't take my eyes off it.
what is that?
It is a vast ocean with a silver background,
There is a golden sacred mountain above the vast ocean, On top of the sacred mountain, there is a giant dragon roaring up to the sky. The giant dragon was lifelike. Even though it was a dead thing made of gold, its majestic and graceful expression was like a giant dragon stepping on the earth. It turned out to be a statue. The statue is as powerful as a rainbow, with a height of meters, a base of 3 meters long, and a width of meters. The golden dragon and the sacred mountain alone accounted for more than half of it. The sea paved with silver only adorns it, The whole thing is shining with silver, making people dare not leave their eyes under the sun. No wonder it took sixteen strong men to lift it. It was so big and heavy.
All are made of pure silver and pure gold. The most important thing is that there are fourteen big characters on the silver paved ground above the sea. Submit a letter: The giant dragon comes out of the sea and swallows Tianque, and the Ming Dynasty will be ruled for thousands of years! Those fourteen large golden characters stretched across the sea, making the whole statue even more powerful. The couplet may not be very polished, but it has a domineering air that a military general could write. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly when he saw those fourteen words and felt very happy. Zhu Biao was also particularly moved. Especially the words "The Ming Dynasty has ruled the country for ten thousand years". Although these words are tacky, they seem reasonable and reasonable based on the spirit of the Ming Dynasty's reform today. Even the hundreds of foreign envoys who saw those fourteen words did not think it was an exaggeration, but instead felt domineering. Moreover, gold and silver are valuable things no matter which country they are in.
Being able to use so much gold and silver to create such a pure gold and pure silver statue, You can imagine how courageous this general is. You can also imagine how much gold and silver was obtained from the Japanese slaves to have such confidence. Zhao Shenyan and Zhao Chenyan were also very proud because he watched this statue being slowly made with his own eyes. He stood below and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this gift is made of 3,333 kilograms of gold and silver. Mu Shuai mobilized 200 craftsmen and spent two months day and night sculpting it. Just to give this gift to His Highness before his birthday. The first is to congratulate His Highness on his birthday, and the second is to congratulate me that the Ming Dynasty has become stronger and stronger under the rule of Your Majesty and Your Highness. We hope that under the unity of His Majesty and His Highness, we can make new achievements. " After Zhu Yuanzhang heard these words, his face flushed with excitement: "You are determined, you are determined, The soldiers who fought against the Japanese slaves this time were all generously rewarded. Go back and tell Mu Ying not to be stingy. " After Zhu Yuanzhang finished his instructions, the civil and military officials all stepped forward to congratulate him very wisely. "His Majesty Fu Wei inherited the destiny of heaven, fought bravely and mightily, laid the foundation for all generations, and endured many difficulties, finally bringing peace to the world. When I hear that the Holy Lord is here, I will come from all directions to pay homage, and all nations will be in peace. Today, Your Majesty, the three emperors of Demai and the five emperors of great merit have created great achievements for the ages and set an example for future generations. The government and the public are at peace, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is indeed an unprecedented event. I am deeply grateful. I would like to praise your majesty's great achievements with my most sincere heart. I pray that your majesty will live long and enjoy peace forever! " "I heard that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has both political integrity and talent, and is favored by heaven. On his birthday today, I would like to extend my most sincere blessings. May His Royal Highness be blessed with happiness, wealth, longevity, good luck in all seasons, be recorded in the annals of history forever, and be remembered for generations to come!" "Congratulations on the birthday of His Highness the Crown Prince. I would like to extend my best wishes. May Your Highness be blessed with wealth and prosperity, enjoy the glory of the prosperous age forever, shine in the world, and be famous forever!" "I heard that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is both benevolent and virtuous, and that he is majestic to the world. On this birthday, I would like to offer my most sincere blessings. May His Highness live a long and healthy life, enjoy eternal life, have unparalleled achievements, and be famous in history!"
Although they are all empty words, the fact that so many people are shouting has a huge spirit. The next process is also very simple, that is, envoys from various countries begin to present gifts. The gifts are nothing more than gold and jade jewelry, all kinds of underwater pearls and corals, and agates and jade from the Western Regions. What the north brings is nothing more than wild ginseng, deer antlers, and mink skins.
Lee's Chosun also spent money this time, contributing several hundred kilograms of Korean ginseng, deer antlers and the like.
But Zhu Biao and the others didn't necessarily give them a good look.
It's because of these people's wild ambitions and because they've been reduced from paying tribute several times.
The King of Lee's Joseon, Yi Chenggui, was very hateful. They are already encouraging the Jurchen tribe to go south and invade the border. Of course, the prince did not act on the surface, but happily accepted Li's North Korea's congratulations. After the various complimenting ceremonies are completed, there will be a grand banquet to celebrate the guests. Not only are the palaces decorated with lanterns and colorful celebrations, but the singing and dancing are also popular among the people. The streets are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations and filled with tourists, making them happier than during the Chinese New Year. After celebrating like this for more than ten days, the atmosphere slowly subsided. …… Duke Qian’s Mansion! Chen Han hugged his wife who was still a little unhappy. "Why are you unhappy?" Chen Han asked. Princess Jiangdu is indeed a little unhappy now. "You said you just came back from the Japanese slaves a few months ago, Are you going to travel far away again? It’s true that you are the prince of the country, but no one allows you to go to the battlefield in person!
My fourth uncle is there in Liaodong, do you still need to go? " Chen Han hugged his wife: "You also know that I come from the later generations. The Jurchen tribe in the later generations committed heinous crimes against us Han people. Now I finally have the opportunity to punish them. If you tell me not to go and see,
Isn’t that a lifelong regret? Now I go to watch these evil races being wiped out, which can be considered as a way of comforting the people who died innocently in my time and space. Just ask me to be a witness, and I promise nothing will happen. " After hearing what Chen Han said, Princess Jiangdu finally softened her heart. "You really have to go!" "Yeah! I want to go! I also want to check out the situation in Liaodong. After all, we still have to find all the iron mines in Liaoyang.
There may be a big gap between the terrain now and the terrain we had at that time. what do you say? " Chen Han explained. This is a reason that cannot be refused.
Princess Jiangdu hummed, "Just be a witness and try to go to the battlefield as little as possible.
That is the matter of the Ming Dynasty soldiers! " Chen Han nodded. Just as he was about to score twice, Princess Jiangdu suddenly said: "I'll tell you good news!" "What good news!" "I'm pregnant!" "Ah! Really?" Chen Han was surprised. Princess Jiangdu nodded: "The past two months have been coming, so I asked the palace doctor to check my pulse and found that it has been almost two months." After hearing this, Chen Han was even prepared in his heart that Princess Jiangdu would be pregnant.
After all, in the past few months since he came back, he knew that he could not stay with his wife for a long time, so he worked hard as much as possible.
I just want to leave a son and a half daughter by my wife's side, so that she can have something to think about. But I didn't expect it to be so fast. Chen Han stroked Princess Jiangdu's belly and was very excited: "I never thought I would have a baby of my own in this world!" A beautiful smile spread across Princess Jiangdu's face: "You have to come back before he is born! Otherwise you will miss his coming out!" It turned out that his wife told him the news so that he could come back early. "Well! Don't worry, I won't let you mother and son worry about me." …… Outside the cabinet duty room inside the Meridian Gate. Xia Yuanji has already summoned many businessmen to the duty room. "You want to go to Liaodong when the princess is pregnant?" Xia Yuanji was a little reproachful after hearing Chen Han talk about the princess' pregnancy: "Anyway, what the princess needs most now is you, you are the child's Father!" "Of course I know, but you also need to know that I have to go to Liaodong now. If I don't see such a big iron mine with my own eyes, I will never close my eyes until I die." Chen Han said. "It's unlucky to be immortal!" Xia Yuanji sighed: "I know your temper. If you want to go, just go. I hope you can come back before your child is born.
When the time comes, I will also send some congratulatory gifts to my little nephew in Guangdong! " "Has the transfer to the staff department been announced?" Chen Han said. He didn't see a copy of Xia Yuanji's appointment from the newspaper copy gallery at the Meridian Gate just now. Generally, when there are important personnel appointments and dismissals in the imperial court, the cabinet will issue six sections to the ministers. The original copy will be archived during the report, and a copy will be posted in the newspaper copy gallery outside the Meridian Gate for public notice, so that officials who come and go can see the latest news, similar to a bulletin board. Xia Yuanji explained: "The General Affairs Department has submitted the proposal, which has been approved by the Cabinet and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Your Majesty has approved it. It will be announced by the middle of this month at the latest. I will take up my post in Guangdong by the middle of next month.
Today's matter is the last thing I will do for you in the cabinet. " Chen Han looked at Xia Yuanji: "Guangdong is not as far away from the capital as the capital. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. You are not familiar with the place. I am really afraid that I will harm you by then!" "Look what you said, didn't you pair me with Ma He and Zhang Fu? I heard His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan's long history tell me that the two of them had gone south from Peiping half a month ago. I guess these two Tian will meet me in the capital, and then we will take a boat to go south together. His Royal Highness the King of Chu also sent me a hundred guards. Several of their princes have already sailed south to Guangzhou. We will meet in Guangzhou, Guangdong.
Several of their princes sent me to take office, so officials in Guangdong dare not bully students. " The two people chatted while walking: "By the way, King Chu summoned me alone two days ago and talked with me about his plan to go south to Guangdong to reclaim land.
During the conversation, they kept praising your talent. Thank you very much for the opportunity this time,
They said that if it weren't for you, they would have to live in the fief for the rest of their lives. In fact, it is no different from being in prison. Thanks to you this time, they can do things, It can be seen that these princes are holding back their nerves and are preparing to start a career in Guangdong and Guangxi. Maybe with the help of a few of them, my career can get twice the result with half the effort! " Chen Han laughed: "If this is really the case, then it can be regarded as my merit!" "By the way, how good is the merchant you found for me?" Chen Han asked. Xia Yuanji promised: "Don't worry, according to your requirements, these people we have found have both strength and integrity, and there is absolutely no problem with their character." As he spoke, he whispered in Chen Han's ear: "I secretly asked the Tax Inspection Department to check them. Their background is very clean. They have been doing business for generations and have passed down poems and books. They can be called Confucian businessmen. Two of them are even in the Your Majesty has left an impression!" Chen Han was delighted: "That's good, it's all thanks to you. I owe you a favor!" "Look what you said, which one of us will follow which one?" While the two were chatting, they arrived at the duty room in a short time. As soon as the two of them entered, they saw the small duty room. The long table was covered with red cloth, and a long black cloth was spread in the middle. On the left and right sides of the long table, there were twenty middle-aged people wearing uniforms. merchant. When the two came to the door, the court guard at the door shouted: "Duke Qian and Mr. Xia, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, are here!" The twenty businessmen inside quickly stood up respectfully and came to the door to greet Chen Han and Xia Yuanji. "Common people, please see Duke Qian and Lord Xia!" Chen Han stepped forward and said: "Everyone, get up, let's go inside to discuss matters!" With Chen Han and Xia Yuanji in front, twenty businessmen filed in. After entering, they lined up according to the previous order... (End of this chapter)
