On the Importance of the Crown Prince
Chapter 771:On the Importance of the Crown Prince
The reason why Zhang Bin is like an arrow, miss the family is a reason, after all, it is too late to go out, do not want to wife and children that is impossible, there is a more important reason, that is, his eldest daughter, Queen Zhang Xiang is about to give birth.
If he has something to do on the mainland, then there is no way, and now that he has come back after the work has been done, he will of course rush back as soon as possible.
The queen is very important for an empire, because the interests of the royal family's inheritance are too big, large enough to make the brothers turn against each other, let the relatives become enemies, after all, when the emperor can say a word, control the world, and did not become the emperor, the vast majority of their own fate can not control.
Therefore, throughout the dynasties, there have been "the prince, the fundamental of the country", because the prince is related to the continuity and stability of a dynasty, if the dispute is caused by the prince's position, the younger brother's relatives are hostile, and the dynasty shakes and even the civil war.
Zhang Bin certainly hopes that his daughter Zhang Xiang can have a prince, so that the whole Daming has a foundation for long-term peace and stability, and his own governance concept also has the hope of continuing.
Counting the days, Zhang Xiang also almost arrived at the end of the pot, so he was so anxious to rush back, after arranging the specific matters of Western trade, he rushed to the fleet to set off.
This time, the fleet was smaller, because most of the town's far cruisers were rented to the major merchants, and after the Strait of Malacca was equivalent to entering the inland sea of Daming, in this sea, he did not have to worry about safety at all, so he took a total of ten Weiyuan battleships, ten town far cruisers and a hundred light iron armored ships, all the way to the north straight, even Coquela he sent ten light iron armor ships to Manila.
So rushed for nearly ten days, this afternoon, the fleet finally arrived in the north of the port, has already received the news of Zhu Ciqi specially sent a new minister to the book Chen Zilong with a number of officials in the port dock to arrange a good part, warmly welcome the country's departure to the return of the European continent.
Zhang Bin at this time there is still a mind to care what ceremony is not ceremony, as soon as the boat he pulled up Chen Zilong, eager to ask: "Mao, Xianger, she was born?"
Chen Zilong heard a moment's message, and even celebrated with his hand: "Congratulations Master, Master He Xi, the Queen Mother gave birth to His Royal Highness the Prince."
Zhang Bin said with surprise: “Really, when was it born?”
Chen Zilong introduced in detail: "The day before the morning of the first day, the day fell Xiangrui, the Queen Mother gave birth to the dragon."Because the Queen Mother was in the basin, the emperor also deliberately postponed the morning for half an hour, the emperor personally announced the good news that morning, and announced that the amnesty for the world, the whole world, the whole world, the sky is celebrating, now the city is everywhere lights, it is as lively as the New Year.
Zhang Bin heard the words, immediately impatiently said: "Great, go, we will go back to Beijing immediately."
He took the first step to the station next to the port.
Chen Zilong couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and then waved his hand with a number of officials of the Ministry to follow.
When Zhang Bin arrived in Beijing, night had already fallen, but the royal city and the palace did not close the door, and even the entire Chang'an Street and the royal city to the palace line were covered with lanterns.
Zhu Ciqi knew that his father-in-law Zhang Bin would definitely go into the palace to see his grandson overnight, and he was eager to know how Zhang Bin's European trip was.
Zhang Bin only returned to the house to wash a little, and changed his neat robe, even with Hong Ronger waiting at home to go to the palace.
At this time, the Queen Zhang Xiang was holding her son there to tease, she knew that her father was back, naturally not so early to rest, and now her baby son is being twisted by her hand, babbling not to know whether it is laughing or angry.
Qi Fanghua, on the side, couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "Shang Er, don't tease, I'm tired of the couple in a moment, he should fall asleep again."
Zhang Xiang said with some unsatisfied words: "Dad is not coming soon, I am also worried that the son-in-law fell asleep to amuse him."
At this moment, a loud song suddenly came from outside: "The public of the kingdom can see."
Qi Fanghua and Zhang Xiang mother and daughter heard, not a surprise, Qi Fanghua is getting up and walking to the door, holding Zhang Bin's arm, excitedly said: "Dong Gong, Xiang gave birth to a big fat boy."
Zhang Bin walked quickly inside, patting her hand and saying, “Your two have worked very hard these two days, haven’t you?”
Qi Fanghua said happily, "I have nothing, there are many people in the palace, I will direct it, Shane, it is really tired."
Zhang Bin heard the words, went to the bed, and worried: "Shanger, you are all right."
Zhang Xiang gave the treasure like the baby son to Zhang Bin, proud said: "Dad, I am all right, you see, the son is laughing."
Zhang Bin hurriedly took his little grandson, took a fine look in his arms, and looked at it with happiness for a while, then asked: "Is the full name of the son Zhu Hejing?"
It is not surprising that he asked this question, because Zhu Yuanzhang has set the naming method of his future generations, and the generation of Yan Wang Zhu Di's series is "high-looking, thick and frequent, mercy and Yibo promotion, and Jane Jingdi first."Zhu Yujie is a word generation, Zhu Cichao is a kind word generation, and then naturally he is a word.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also stipulates that the name of future generations is that the last word must be the word next to the five acts of "fire, earth, gold, water, and wood", the inspection of Zhu Yuxing is next to the wood, Zhu Cihui's letter is next to the fire, so Zhu Ciqi's son should use the last word next to the earth.
This rule of the royal family knows, the minister also knows, it is not surprising, Zhang Xiang nodded: "Yes, yes, the thalling is called Zhu Hejing, this kind of words or the emperor picked out half a day later."
Why is this name still being chosen?
The reason is very simple, to put it plainly for the people to consider, because there is a custom in this era called avoidance, the emperor's name in the word can not be used casually, for example, Zhu Yuanzhang's name has a character, this character is to avoid, so, called the thousand years of the Yuanbao to the Ming Dynasty to change to Tongbao, is to avoid the character of Zhu Yuanzhang.
It is because of this avoidance that the prince will try to pick up the name, especially if it is possible to inherit the throne to become the prince, the name must be used the most remote word, otherwise, the prince ascended to the throne, the people have to be busy, in order to avoid, all the emperor's name in the word to be changed, if the emperor's name comes a common word, then the place to change is not known.
Zhang Bin nodded, "Well, this kind of choice is good, the emperor is wise."
Zhang Xiangwen said, can not help but complain: "Dad, you know to the emperor to say good words, you do not know, the emperor is busy regardless of our mother and son, a day to know the criticism, deal with the state, now the emperor is still busy in the royal study."Father, did you not promise me to persuade the emperor that he could not go on like this, and he would sleep for an hour or two a day, and he would have to be tired."
"This", Zhang Bin did not know how to say, if the king of a country is diligent, it is very normal to forget to eat, and you can't persuade the emperor not to work hard!
However, one or two hours of sleep a day is indeed a little too hard, so that the iron man will be tired.
He thought about it, then nodded, "Well, Dad, persuade the Emperor."
