"Sir, look, we have four sons now, and we don't know how many more we will have in the future... It's a blessing to have more children. When there are more children, the rules will inevitably be messed up. We are thinking about giving each child a set of words.
Seniors, let them name it according to this. In order to prevent repetition, we should continue to pass it on according to the principle that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and running endlessly. What do you think?"
have to!
The periodic table of elements is coming. Thank you Comrade Lao Zhu for his contribution to the cause of chemistry.
"My lord is thoughtful and painstaking, and I am inexplicably impressed by it." Zhang Ximeng could only speak in a dry tone, neither salty nor indifferent.
Lao Zhu was slightly startled, but he did not give up and said: "Sir, look, how about we arrange a set for you, or if your husband has something better to suggest, wouldn't it be nice for our two children to be together?"
When Zhang Ximeng heard Lao Zhu's thoughts, he immediately fell to the ground. It's really you who stretched out his hand long enough. Zhang Ximeng shook his head flatly and didn't discuss it at all.
"My lord naturally has thousands of sons and grandsons, and his descendants will be prosperous. This method is very good. But I have not thought that much. If the Zhang family can have one or two children to inherit the incense, I will be worthy of the ancestors of the family. It will not be so
If you have many descendants, there will be no duplication of names, so I can only thank you for your kindness."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deeply. In fact, naming them together just showed the closeness of the two families, just like they buried their ancestral graves together. Zhang Ximeng disagreed, and Lao Zhu had nothing else to say.
But seeing that Zhang Ximeng had no intention of having more children, Lao Zhu was unhappy.
"Sir, many children bring blessings. How can you not have more children? Could it be that Jiang Tiju is jealous and doesn't want you to take concubines?"
"no!"
Zhang Ximeng said subconsciously: "Lord, you must not mention concubinage to Chen. These two words make my hair stand on end. I'm afraid!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, "So, it's Jiang Tiju who bullied you? Let's, let's let the queen help you vent your anger!"
"No, that's not the case." Zhang Ximeng waved his hand quickly, "My lord, I can't say that this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Tiju. I, I just feel that it is too tiring to give birth to a child. I have severe back pain. Not many of them.
Yue, I can’t recover. If I give birth to ten or eight children, I have to work hard, raise them, and plan their future. I even have to worry about their names. My life will be ruined. I still have to work hard.
I want to write more and think more about things. Lord, you must spare me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned...hey, how did you say this!
Look at us, we deal with hundreds of government affairs every day, lead troops to fight, study and practice calligraphy, and take care of the concubine. We don't think it's too hard!
Mr. Zhang is so young, how could he be so weak?
"Sir, you should take good care of yourself!"
Zhang Ximeng didn't listen to Lao Zhu, "My lord, you are a heavenly saint, you are different. I am just an ordinary person who can take good care of my own family. I can fulfill my lord's instructions and do something I like."
I'm already satisfied, I hope my lord will take notice!"
After all, you, Lao Zhu, are a master of time management, but unfortunately I am not. One wife is enough to deal with it, and one or two children will probably be the limit.
If there were a double or a super double, Zhang Ximeng would probably explode on the spot.
Lao Zhu was stunned for a while before he had to accept the cruel reality that Mr. Zhang and himself were not the same creature.
But then Lao Zhu realized another problem. If his husband doesn’t have many children, then his son and daughter are really little treasures who are loved by thousands of people!
Lao Zhu rolled his eyes and secretly made up his mind.
But we can't mention this matter now, after all, it will be several months before the baby is born! It's best to wait until we get back to Yingtian, discuss it carefully with the queen, and come up with a sure solution.
The abacus beads in Lao Zhu's heart were rattling, and he said again: "Sir, let's not mention this matter. We have stayed in Kaifeng for so long and it is time to return to Yingtian. Jiang Tiju has just become pregnant. Are you following us?"
Let's go back together, or wait a little longer?"
This sentence makes people imagine that when Empress Ma was pregnant, she also worked hard to cross the river and gave birth to Prince Zhu Biao at Chen Di's house.
When Jiang Nan got pregnant, she promised Zhang Ximeng a holiday. Lao Zhu coveted the Zhang family's first child!
Zhang Ximeng has not yet seen through Zhu Yuanzhang's sinister thoughts, but Zheng'er Ba Jing said in deep thought: "It's time for my lord to return to Yingtian. In terms of the overall situation of the Central Plains, Xu Da is more suitable for military affairs. As for government affairs..."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sir, does anyone recommend you?"
Zhang Ximeng said: "My lord, if you want to say that they are suitable, both Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian are good... But if I ask you to recommend them, I'm afraid they will recommend Wang Guangyang."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Okay, let Wang Guangyang serve as the chief envoy of Henan."
In one sentence, Wang Guangyang overcame two formidable opponents and secured the crucial position of Chief Minister of Henan.
Since there is Zhongshu Province in the Ming Dynasty, there are also people who participate in political affairs in Zhongshu Province.
In other words, the status of minister has depreciated a lot.
If Wang Guangyang does well in the Central Plains, he can be directly promoted to participate in politics.
What else can I say? Follow Zhang Xiangqian and you will be promoted quickly.
If Zhang Xiang is concerned about it, it will be difficult to get along.
With the smooth launch of the bandit suppression, there were signs of recovery in the Central Plains. Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to waste too much time. He left Xu Da with 80,000 men to garrison the Central Plains.
Later, a decree was given to Feng Guo to retain the Nanyang Army and station them in Shaanzhou and other places to confront Li Siqi in Guanzhong to prevent them from leaving Tongguan and threatening the Central Plains.
As for the Shandong direction, considering Mao Gui's problem, Lao Zhu did not arrange a chief envoy, but continued to retain the Shandong Army. However, Lao Zhu could not continue to let Mao Gui go on like this.
After much deliberation, Lao Zhu sent Liu Bowen to Shandong to serve as the envoy for sentencing.
It would be better to arrange a chief envoy directly!
What is Liu Bowen?
He himself has first-class knowledge and upright character. He was an upright and outspoken person under Lao Zhu. Then he organized the Miao soldiers with Tang He and practiced for several years. Just like a magic sword, it has been polished. Han Guang
Flashing, murderous.
You must know that since killing Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang has not arranged a position for Liu Bowen, but only asked him to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy with Song Lian.
It’s not that I don’t want to give, it’s that I don’t dare to give.
Because Liu Bowen wanted to kill people, wherever he was placed, it would mean a bloody storm.
Before the decisive battle in the Central Plains, Lao Zhu still did not dare to rectify his internal affairs too much. Zhang Ximeng also supported this point, and even said that Zhang Ximeng was suppressing it.
Otherwise, Liu Bowen would be qualified to take over the Ministry of Justice, or be promoted to the imperial censor.
After all, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, official positions were very arbitrary, and there was little resistance even to the addition of several yamen.
Now, the war in the Central Plains is over, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty has been solidified.
Lao Zhu is finally going to show off this sharp sword.
It's just that Lao Zhu still wanted to be safe and didn't directly use his ultimate move. Instead, he put Liu Bowen in Shandong first and let him practice his skills. It was also a deterrent. It was equivalent to warning everyone, we have the knife ready, and you all should be smart.
point.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang still does not change his nature, but he is also influenced by Zhang Ximeng. He is not so extreme in doing things, but will reserve some space. Of course, if you don't know what is good or bad, then let me show you what it is.
Hongwu’s true colors!
Lao Zhu made arrangements and asked Chang Yuchun and Hu Dahai to lead the troops and take boats respectively to march south along the canal.
Zhang Ximeng did not leave, but honestly took on the responsibility of taking care of the pregnant woman, cooking, walking with his wife, telling her jokes, and making her happy.
And Zhang Ximeng is thinking about giving prenatal education to his children, will he win at the starting line?
He read something to the child every day and nurtured the child from the womb.
It couldn't be more perfect.
Jiang Nan is also very satisfied and thinks her husband is very good, but that's the only problem.
"Ms. sir, if you read some poems and articles to your children, I have no problem with it, but can you not read what you wrote?" Jiang Nan couldn't help but said: "I admit that what you wrote is very reasonable, but the literary talent is still
It’s just that little bit different, and it’s not suitable for children to listen to!”
Zhang Ximeng blushed for a moment. It was indeed a bit inappropriate. For example, if you are a writer, you can't read your own writing to your children, right?
It will be a little embarrassing!
Zhang Ximeng could only say helplessly: "Madam, actually, I am not only reading to our children, I am also tortured myself and my heart."
Jiang Nan rolled her eyes at him, "You can do whatever you want, and I won't stop you, lest people say I'm jealous and affect your family's growth."
Zhang Ximeng was startled, where did this come from?
Isn't it some bastard who just talks about the truth?
Zhang Ximeng couldn't figure out who did it for a while, so he could only say honestly: "Madam, there is indeed a misunderstanding. I want to go to Qufu and the Confucius Temple."
"Confucius Temple?"
Jiang Nan was taken aback, and she hurriedly said: "You, you are not going to destroy the Confucius Temple, are you?"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "What do you think, madam? Is it okay?"
Jiang Nan didn't say anything, but picked up a grape and ate it slowly, rolling his eyes and thinking.
"My lord, what the Confucius did is indeed excessive. According to the king's law, it is not an exaggeration to kill him... But I think if you directly level the Confucius Mansion and demolish the Confucius Temple, there will be big trouble in the future! A thousand-year-old theory is not like this
It disappears easily.”
Zhang Ximeng laughed happily, clapped his hands in admiration.
"Madam, you are really my good wife! Don't worry, I'm not that bold yet."
Jiang Nan stared at her husband, not feeling at ease at all. She felt that there was a devil hidden in Zhang Ximeng's body... Under this gentle and thrifty body, there was an ambition to overturn thousands of years of history!
Just as he divided history, Zhang Ximeng definitely wanted to do something big when he went to Qufu and the Confucius family.
Jiang Nan thought of Bailudong Academy again, "Ms. sir, you don't want to compete with Confucius, do you?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled again, "Madam is indeed smart and smart, but I am not competing with you, but paying tribute to you."
Jiang Nan was full of questions and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Zhang Ximeng didn't want to say more, and she had no choice.
In this way, two months after Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Jinling, Zhang Ximeng also ended his retreat behind closed doors. He had thought clearly and had a plan.
The affairs of the Kong family that were almost unsolved before the war can finally come to an end.
Zhang Ximeng asked his wife to rest for a few more days, and then took a boat to go south, while he rode on horseback to Shandong.
Accompanied by five hundred guards, Zhang Ximeng arrived at Confucius' mansion.
Kong Kejian and Kong Xixue, father and son, knelt down to greet Zhang Ximeng fearfully.
"The sinner pays homage to Prime Minister Zhang."
Zhang Ximeng didn't say anything and asked them to get up.
"I came here this time to give Confucius some gifts."
The two men felt no joy at all, but when they saw the things, they couldn't help but shed tears.
Zhang Ximeng sent two plaques.
"If heaven did not give birth to Zhongni, eternity would be like a long night!"
Kong Kejian was overjoyed and cried with excitement. Prime Minister Zhang finally affirmed Confucius's achievements. This was a show of goodwill to the Confucius family!
Just as he was wiping his tears, two more signs came over. When Kong Kejian looked over again, he was about to cry again.
"God gave birth to my generation again, and China has just returned to Fudan University!"
