The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 259 Sun Jie's eldest son

The tail of spring quietly flows through the city of Chang'an, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and the people in the city have also changed into thin clothes.

Although Sun Jie was also wearing very thin clothes, he was sweating profusely at this time, as if he was in a dog day.

The clothes on his body were wet with sweat, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water.

He stared at the delivery room in front of him, with an anxious expression on his face, walking back and forth in the same place.

Sun Ling's due date has arrived.

The door of the delivery room was closed tightly, Sun Jie couldn't see through it, so he could only wait quietly outside.

He couldn't help anything, he could only pray in his heart, hoping that everything was safe.

This is Sun Jie's first child, the continuation of his blood, and his blood connection in this era.

He kept rubbing his hands, anxious like an ant on a hot fire.

"I hope everything is normal and there will be no accidents!" Sun Jie whispered, and began to pray to the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

I usually don't believe in these things, and now I don't care about anything.

The entire palace and the streets immediately outside the palace were all blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will, and no one was allowed to make loud noises.

The people around are very cooperative, trying not to let themselves make any noise.

The entire Chang'an, the entire empire, quietly waited for the cry that pierced the sky.

The common people in Chang'an City knew what day it was, so they were much quieter than before.

No matter what he did, even when he ate, he was careful, for fear that he would make a loud noise and affect Sun Ling's delivery.

It's not that they overcorrected, but that they blessed Sun Ling in their own way.

Some people even offer incense to the gods and Buddhas to bless them.

The streets full of traffic are gone, replaced by people on tiptoe.

In addition to the common people, the hearts of the officials were also tugged.

Sun Chuanting stood in the courtyard of the Wen Senate, with his hands behind his back, walking back and forth.

The anxiety in his heart was even worse than that of Sun Jie.

Sun Jie's first child is very important. If the first child is a boy, then the foundation of the empire will be completely stable.

"Hu, hu, hu!"

He kept breathing, trying to calm down his nervous mood.

But there was no effect, the heartbeat became more and more violent, and even the body began to tremble, already tense to the extreme.

After staying outside for a long time, he hurried back to his office.

He took out a brand new piece of rice paper from the bookshelf next to him, picked up the brush, and swiped on it.

There are some auspicious words written on it, and I want to bless Sun Ling with this.

As a civil servant, he can't help much at this time, and he can only contribute in this way.

The more nervous you are, the faster your subordinates will be.

After writing a declaration, another piece of rice paper was written.

He seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and the brush in his hand did not stop for a moment.

The other officials are basically in this state.

They all used their own ways to bless Sun Ling.

Lu Xiangsheng stood at the gate of the Military Senate, looked towards the direction of the palace, and almost turned into a watchman's stone.

Chongzhen also knew what day it was, so he sat in his yard and cast a curse.

Sun Chengzong and others who fled outside the city cast a curse even more sinister than Chongzhen.

They wished for Sun Ling's dead body and two lives, and wished that Sun Jie would have no heirs.

It's a pity that all of their ideas will come to nothing.

"Wow!"

A loud cry echoed over the palace.

At this moment, the heir to the empire was finally born.

Accompanied by the sound of babies crying, a middle-aged doctor rushed out of the delivery room.

It's like getting rich overnight, like being promoted overnight, the three great joys in life, none of which are as happy as he is at this time.

Looking at the doctor who ran out, Sun Jie rushed towards him without caring about the majesty of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the country is stable, mother and child are safe!"

Langzhong knelt down on the ground with a thump, and before Sun Jie came over, he yelled loudly.

Sun Jie's legs trembled a little, he pulled Lang Zhong up from the ground, and asked, "Say it again?"

"Your Majesty, the foundation of the country is stable, mother and child are safe!" Lang Zhong shouted again without changing his smile.

"Hahaha, mother and child are safe, mother and child are safe!"

Sun Jie laughed and rushed into the delivery room.

No man would remain indifferent when faced with such a thing.

After so many years of conquest on the battlefield, although Sun Jie was used to seeing life and death, he still couldn't calm down on this matter.

Human nature!

"Quick, quick, spread this news, spread it!"

The doctor looked at the followers behind Sun Jie and shouted.

Only then did these people come to their senses, and rushed outside with excitement.

thump thump, footsteps sounded outside the Wen Senate.

Sun Chuanting, who was concentrating on writing his blessing, was keenly aware of the footsteps.

He seemed to have guessed something, threw the writing brush in his hand on the table, and ran out in a hurry.

As soon as he went out, he met the guards in the palace.

I saw his face was full of joy and expression, this is a happy event.

Sun Chuanting didn't care about the majesty of high officials, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Is it safe? But is the prince?!"

The guard was a little out of breath and shouted: "The prince is safe, the queen is safe, mother and child are safe!"

"Can you say that again?!"

Sun Chuanting came to the guard, grabbed his neck, and asked again.

It is related to the national foundation of the imperial court, and Sun Chuanting must ask these things clearly.

"My lord, it's a prince, the queen is safe, mother and child are safe!" The guard replied excitedly, not caring about this at all.

"Hahaha!"

Sun Chuanting let go of the guard's collar, looked up to the sky and smiled.

I have never been so happy before. I was not as happy as I am today when I was the number one scholar in high school and defeated the bandits back then.

"God Bless Great Qin, God Bless Great Qin!!!"

Sun Chuanting spun around excitedly, like an excited child.

At the same time, the news reached Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng was even more excited and turned a few somersaults in the courtyard of the Military Senate.

……

"You said, will His Majesty's first child be a boy?!"

An inn was crowded with people, and everyone was looking towards the palace, extremely nervous.

This is not about Sun Jie alone, it is about the foundation of Daqin and the people's livelihood.

The people in the city are all looking forward to it.

"Your Majesty is a famous sage in the world, God will not make things difficult, the mother and child must be safe, it must be a boy!"

A middle-aged man said.

"Yes, it's a boy, it's a boy!"

People around agree.

Such scenes were staged all over Chang'an City, and all the people were blessing and waiting.

There is a tall clock tower in the center of Chang'an City. At the top of the clock tower, there is a huge clock. At this time, the pointer points to ten past one.

On top of this huge clock, there are several big horns.

Several soldiers climbed up the ladder of the bell tower and soon came to the control room.

A soldier took out the speech script that Sun Chuanting gave him, and turned on the microphone.

Excited and joyful voices floated over Chang'an City:
"Great Qin, with great blessings equal to the heavens, practiced mighty and righteous ways, is the most benevolent dynasty in ancient and modern times.

Therefore, when God blesses the Great Qin, it brings great blessings and blesses all the people in the world.

The queen's benevolence, kindness and filial piety influenced the heavens, so she sent a lucky star to Kunning.

On April 28th of the second year of the Chinese New Year, there are lucky stars coming to the world, and golden dragons hovering around, and there are frequent visions in the palace, and blessings are connected to the sky.

The eldest son of the emperor came to the world at a time of ugliness, so the heaven and the earth are glorious..."

The continuous auspicious words made these people in the city have certain guesses.

But it has been unable to get to the point, which really makes people feel at ease.

The hearts of the people also rose and fell with the guard's voice.

Chongzhen stood up, looked in the direction of the voice, and cursed in a low voice: "I don't believe you can still have a son!"

When the guard told the final result, Chongzhen's face turned livid.

He cursed with a gloomy face: "God really has no conscience, to let this utterly conscientious thing give birth to a son, what a blind eye!"

The people in the city fell into a carnival.

"Hurry up, hurry up, take out the firecrackers I've prepared a long time ago, this is the day I'm waiting for!"

The innkeeper urged the waiter, his face full of anxiety.

Seeing the waiter running out of the shop dawdlingly holding a whip, the shopkeeper looked dissatisfied.

Suddenly rushed out of the counter, pulled the firecrackers, and cursed: "It's really slow, this is the first firecracker, you will be slow!"

He rushed out of the gate like lightning, and as soon as he threw the firecrackers on the ground, the firecrackers from the house next door rang.

The shopkeeper was out of breath and hurriedly ignited it.

At the same time, countless hanging firecrackers sounded in the city, which was even more lively than the New Year.

Even if it is the New Year's Day, it has never been as lively as it is today.

All kinds of firecrackers were crackling all over Chang'an City, setting it off into a sea of ​​excitement.

The guards' auspicious words from the loudspeakers above the bell tower have not stopped.

Sun Chuanting, a literati, searched his brains and scratched his stomach, and used all his abilities, just for today.

Like the Nine Heavens Milky Way, and like the torrential river, it flows freely and freely above the city of Chang'an.

The common people don't like to hear what's there and what's not, and when they hear what they want to hear, they don't listen anymore.

"congratulations!"

On the street, a commoner was striding excitedly, and suddenly pretended to be full of love with a person who was coming towards him.

The person who was hit didn't pay any attention. After taking a step back, he cupped his hands towards this person and kept saying congratulations.

The people on the street and in the inn, no matter what they were doing, stopped at this moment and congratulated each other.

Living in Rushi, Liu Rushi leaned in front of the door, looking at the imperial palace not far away.

His face was full of joy, but there was a hint of sadness between his brows.

A female worker came from behind and congratulated her with a smile.

Liu Rushi responded with a smile, but her figure looked lonely.

On both sides of the palace are Sun Jie's personal guard camps, called Chang'an Army.

At this time, a big red hot air balloon rose from the barracks, and a red banner was hung under the hanging basket.

Letter: "God bless the Great Qin, Hongfu Wanchang!"

"It should be lively!"

A brave soldier held a firecracker, lit it and threw it down.

There was a crackling sound in mid-air.

……

In Kunning Palace, Sun Jie is holding his newborn son and smiling brightly.

The eyebrows are almost the same as him, it is almost carved out of the same mold.

Sun Ling was lying on the bed, not as delicate as ordinary women.

She has a big frame, much stronger than the women of this era, and the usual food is good, so there is no problem.

With a faint smile, she kept her eyes on Sun Jie and her son.

The chief eunuch in the corner of the room quietly walked out of Kunning Palace and came outside.

Looking at the eunuchs and maids standing around, his face became serious, and his voice became low: "Let everyone in the palace pay attention, these days are His Majesty's big day, if anyone offends His Majesty, get out of here as soon as possible!" out of the palace.

This is not the former Ming Dynasty, it does not mean that you can stay forever after entering the palace.If anyone breaks the law, the only way is to be fired.

Come to think of it, life is better in the palace than outside.There is food, drink and wages, and you are usually given vacations, and everything you do is easy.

Where can I find such a good job?Anyone who doesn't serve snacks, get out! "

In today's palace, the biggest threat is not beating and scolding, but dismissal.

The wages paid by the palace to these court ladies and eunuchs are always in accordance with the highest standards.

The life of eunuchs and maids in the palace is much better than that of Ming Dynasty.

Seducing people with profit is always the safest thing to do. If they don't obey the rules and leave the palace gate, they won't be able to find such a good job.

What's more, Sun Jie also stipulated before that anyone who works for the government is enough for 20 years, and after the age of 50, he can get a pension, and the court will provide for the elderly in the future.

This regulation alone is enough to make these people be careful.

The sum of the eunuchs and maids in Sun Jie's palace is not enough for a fraction of the Ming Palace, and the money is not much.

"In today's world, where can I find such a good job? Let me tell you, put away your usual carefree temper, this is His Majesty's eldest son, and there is no room for mistakes!"

The chief eunuch Liang Shangxi gave a few more instructions, and then hurried back to the palace, waiting for Sun Jie to dispatch him.

Liang Shangxi's name is festive, and as the name suggests, he usually shows his joy to others.

But today, he is much stricter than before.

"Lang Jun, should we give our son a name?!" Sun Ling sat up and looked at Sun Jie who was teasing the child by the bedside.

"Don't rush, don't rush, take your time, take your time.

How should I put it, when it comes to naming, I can't do enough, this matter should be left to the officials! "

Sun Jie carefully looked at the son in his arms, his eyes narrowed.

It is also true that what Sun Jie knows most is modern knowledge.

It's not intentional to belittle, the names of modern people are really not comparable to the names of ancient gentry and scholars.

The name is with you for a lifetime, so you should be careful about it.

At this moment, a eunuch from the Yellow Gate came to the gate of the palace.

Liang Shangxi saw him immediately, and walked out frowning.

"What's the matter?" Liang Shangxi kept looking at Sun Jie.

"The father-in-law led civil and military officials to enter the wedding invitations outside the palace gate, waiting for congratulations!" The eunuch of the Huang family was afraid that he would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained.

"You go down!"

Liang Shangxi hurried to Sun Jie's place again, and told the story carefully.

"How about this, let them come in first, stand outside Kunning Palace, let them see my precious son!" Sun Jie ordered.

"According to the order!"

Liang Shangxi hurried out.

Not long after, a large group of people tiptoed to the outside of Kunning Palace cautiously.

Sun Jie hugged his son and stood at the gate of the palace, letting them take a look from afar.

With just one glance, he hugged and went back to the room.

The children are still young and can't see the wind, just let them feel at ease.

Sun Chuwen stood at the forefront, his old face full of relief.

This is his grandson and heir to the future empire.

Sun Chuanting followed closely behind, even more excited with tears in his eyes.

All the other civil and military officials were like this, and they were all very excited.

"Your Majesty loves her so much, the country is as stable as Mount Tai!" Sun Chuanting took a deep breath and said.

From ancient times to the present, the emperor has always been on top. This creature of power rarely hugs his son with his own hands.

Except for the few emperors of Ming Dynasty, the other emperors didn't really love their eldest son very much.

After the Jiajing Year, with the improvement of the "ritual system", there is a strict process from the birth of a child to the time when he leaves the court to study.

The number of times the emperor could see his son was not many, so the royal family relationship was very weak.

But Sun Jie was different. Judging by his posture, he was holding it in his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting.

Especially the expression just now, almost no different from that of ordinary people showing off to outsiders.

"Your Majesty has his own decision on these matters, and we courtiers, just listen in peace!" Sun Chuwen quickly adjusted his mentality, and did not become arrogant because he was his grandson.

"Extremely, extremely!"

All the officials replied again and again.

Not long after, Liang Shangxi hurried out from inside.

He cleared his throat, and shouted with a male duck voice: "Your Majesty said that the prince has not yet been named, so he is soliciting from all over the world. If the name is selected, he will not hesitate to reward him!"

It was like pouring cold water into a frying pan, and the enthusiasm of these officials was instantly ignited.

Where has this happened since ancient times?If the name you choose can be selected, but it can enter the annals of history, the rewards are not important compared to it.

A few "stubborn old men" from the Ministry of Rituals stood up and wanted to say that this move was not in line with etiquette, but they were dragged back by several officials.

Who doesn't want to be lucky?If this is rejected, how can I stick to it?
The reason why Sun Jie did this was to increase the enthusiasm of the people.

Let the common people participate and improve their sense of participation in government affairs.

What Sun Jie hopes to see the most is that people today can be as concerned about national affairs as they are in modern times.

But for thousands of years, rulers have often prohibited people from talking about political affairs.

Over time, these things were suppressed.

If you want to improve, you have to do it slowly.

And this time, it was just right.

When Sun Chuwen heard this, his confidence doubled.

Turning around and looking at the officer behind him, he looked confident.

He secretly said in his heart: "The old man has recently searched through the Four Books and Five Classics, the classics, this name, who dares to snatch it from me?!"

The eyes of several officials of the Military Senate were full of fiery light, and they became competitive.

The same is true of the officials present.

On the surface, it looks peaceful and happy, but behind the scenes, there is a lot of fighting between dragons and tigers.
