I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Listening to Zhang Yan's words, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at his son with his eyes closed in his arms, showing affection.In fact, he had already thought of the name, and he said slowly:

"Then let's call him Zhu Ciran."

The Ming Dynasty's prince surnamed Zhu had his own set of special rules and systems for naming.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that naming would be repeated because of the proliferation of his descendants, so he drew up twelve characters for the lineage of Prince Zhu Biao and other princes, each character representing one life.

At the same time, it is also stipulated that after the offspring are born, the clan will be given double names according to the order of the generation. The upper character is the generation, and the next character is based on the five elements as the radical, with fire, earth, metal, water, and wood as the order.

As for the lineage of Zhu Di, the founder inherited by Zhu Youxiao, the naming method of this lineage is Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zaiyi Chang You, Ci Heyi Bozhong, and Jian Jingdi Xianyou.

Therefore, the bloodline of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty came from this method. Zhu Youxiao was born with the character "You", so his son's name was naturally "Ci", so he was called Zhu Ciran.

This name was not selected by the clan government, but was determined by Zhu Youxiao himself.The reason is that the name Zhu Ciran is the name of Zhu Youxiao's first heir in history.

It was just that when Zhang Yan was pregnant, the Hakka family was in power. It was rumored that she was jealous of Zhang Yan, so she secretly framed her. In the end, the abortion was not successfully induced, and it was a stillbirth, which made Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan extremely sad in history.

That's why Zhu Youxiao is very concerned about Zhang Yan's affairs, because he is afraid that something unexpected will happen and history will repeat itself.

Thanks to God's blessing, the child looked very healthy, which finally made Zhu Youxiao's heart shattered.Giving him this name now is in the hope that it can make up for Zhu Youxiao's regret in history and let this child grow up well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The weak Zhang Yan felt at ease when she heard the emperor's name. Although she knew it was against etiquette, the emperor still agreed to her request, which was enough to show that the emperor valued her and her children.

As the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, she naturally knew how important her heir was to herself and the Ming Dynasty.With this child, my position is completely stable.

"Don't move around. You can just recuperate in the past few days. I will be responsible for other things."

Zhu Youxiao saw that Zhang An was still struggling to get up to thank her, so he immediately supported her body, comforted her and told her to lie down quickly and not to be polite. Zhang Yan was overworked and needed to rest.

Then Zhu Youxiao told the maids around Zhang Yan to take more care of her and not let Zhang Yan get in any bad health, otherwise he would stay with her until late at night because they were asking questions.

The news of the birth of the emperor's eldest son, accompanied by a cry, soon spread outside the palace and throughout the capital.

The noble officials who had been waiting for the news were overjoyed, and their worries were finally relieved. They secretly said that the emperor finally had a daughter-in-law, and the Ming Dynasty's national foundation was also stable.

Although the emperor was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, the fact that no heir had been born in the three years since he took the throne vaguely meant that his status was unstable. Once the emperor had his shortcomings, everything the emperor had promoted might also disappear.

But now that he has an heir, it means that the country has a foundation, and the emperor's last shortcoming has been blocked. It also makes Ye Xianggao and others heave a sigh of relief and come up to congratulate the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao's current mood is also the same. He knows the importance of the prince, so he is in a good mood and has rewards for everyone in the palace and officials.

However, with the birth of the prince, various rituals prepared by Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Household Affairs also began.

Zhu Youxiao first announced to the world and announced a general amnesty to the world, and all the crimes were reduced by one level. Then he got on the dragon boat and went to the southern and northern suburbs in person to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth.

On the same day, they offered sacrifices to the Xian Hall and Chongxian Hall in the palace, and sent officials in sacrificial robes to Fangze, Chaori, Xiyue, Dasheji, Disheji, and Tianshen respectively.

The entire Ming Dynasty also became busy with the birth of the emperor's eldest son.

From the day the prince is born, all civil and military officials must wear auspicious clothes for ten days, and choose a day to issue the imperial edict to the world. Officials from the Sixth Section of Chunfang of the Hanlin Academy will be sent to each prince's palace to report the imperial edict.

After these things are over, it will be April, and Zhu Ciran's naming ceremony will follow.

But at this moment, Zhu Youxiao suddenly received an eight-hundred-mile report from Zhu Xieyuan, governor of Liaodong, and Liaozuo.

Zhu Xieyuan reported in the report that Huang Taiji, Zaisang and others led Horqin and [-] elite troops from the Bahrain tribe to attack the Chahar tribe over a long distance. Lin Dan Khan was caught off guard, and now they have invaded Chahanhot, the capital of Chahar.

Lin Danhan did not react at all. When he saw Horqin's attack, he could not organize his troops to resist. In the end, he had to lead the remaining troops to flee westward in a hurry before making plans.

After receiving this report, Zhu Youxiao laughed secretly in his heart, secretly saying that it was just as he expected.

Huang Taiji was indeed a smart man, and he probably saw that the Ming Dynasty was no longer patient, so he took advantage of the absence of the Ming Dynasty general Liaodong to attack Chahar in advance, and he succeeded in one fell swoop.And this Lin Danhan is really an idiot. After being intercepted and killed by Horqin, he didn't have a long memory, and he was unexpectedly attacked by Huang Taiji. Not only did he not resist, but he ran away in a hurry. He was really like a waste.

The original plan to let Chahar wear down the strength of Huang Taiji and Horqin seemed to be in vain now.

However, Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry about this matter. Huang Taiji had long been in Zhu Youxiao's plan to do such a thing, and he even said that he wished Huang Taiji would do it.

He had already told the Military Aircraft Department and the Liaodong generals that as long as Huang Taiji and Horqin did not take action, they would use this as an excuse to take action against Horqin.

So Zhu Youxiao immediately summoned three people from the Military Aircraft Department for a meeting, and finally decided to proceed as planned.

It took Huang Taiji and Horqin to plunder the population in Chahanhot, and it would take some time to count the loot.An imperial edict was issued to order Heshun, the commander-in-chief of Kaitie, and He Xiong, the commander-in-chief of Shenyang, who had returned to Liaodong, to send troops together to assist the cavalry of Wengjishit's tribe, totaling more than [-] people.

Under the leadership of Taiji Badali of the Horqin tribe who had taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, they immediately raided the Horqin and Bahrain headquarters.

According to Zhu Youxiao's estimation, Horqin and other troops must have used all their main force in the surprise attack on Chahar, and those who remained at the garrison must have been old, weak, women and children, who could not withstand the Ming Dynasty's attack.

With Badali as the lead party and the escort of Weng Jishit's troops, Ming Dynasty will rely on Horqin to not leave this time. It depends on whether Huang Taiji, Zaisang and others will continue to stay in Chahanhot, or whether they will continue to stay in Chahanhot. Return to help Horqin.

If he does not come back, Ming Dynasty will take root in Horqin and use Badali's identity as Horqin Baylor to stabilize his rule.

If the Liaozuo soldiers and horses are allowed to pursue their retreat, while Heshun, He Xiong and others plunder their tribesmen and return to the army, then the Liaozuo soldiers and horses are sent out to occupy Chahanhot, bargain with Lin Dan Khan, and then assemble again. Use troops to deal with Horqin.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao was not worried about the arrival of the imperial edict in Liaodong, which would delay the military aircraft after the Liaodong soldiers and horses were assembled.

After the Wenhua Palace issued an edict that day, Zhu Youxiao summoned Heshun, He Xiong and others separately for this matter, giving them the right to act expediently and take action first.

Now that the news has reached the capital, it means that Heshun and others are about to take action, and their question books are probably coming soon.

However, Zhu Youxiao still made some arrangements.Since the governor of Liaozuo Guangning was dismissed last year and the general officers of Liaozuo Tongliao were purged, the entire Liaozuo officialdom was redeployed by Zhu Youxiao, and generals such as Mao Wenlong, Zu Dashou, and Luo Yiguan were appointed.

Now Horqin and Huang Taiji occupy Chahar, which is very close to Liaozuo. There will be many wars in Liaozuo in the future.

So Zhu Youxiao discussed with the Military Aircraft Department that the former Zhenjiang Fort Commander-in-Chief Man Gui had been transferred to Liaozuo to serve as the Commander-in-Chief of Guangning and to control the Liaozuo forts. However, there was still a vacancy for the governor of Guangning, so he thought about it and decided to choose Tianjin Governor Zuo Guangdou serves as the governor of Guangning and is the governor of all affairs in Guangning.

After making such arrangements, Zhu Youxiao felt relieved and immediately devoted himself to many etiquettes.

After Zhu Youxiao's sacrifice is completed, the next more important step is to name the prince.

Even though Zhu Youxiao has already chosen the name, due to the majesty of the royal family, the required procedures still need to be followed.

Therefore, on the day before Zhu Ciran's full moon, Zhu Youxiao personally went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and Shimiao Temple to order the prince's name to be submitted to the Ming Dynasty for the saints and emperors.On the day of the full moon, the nun who took care of Zhu Ciran carried Zhu Ciran to the palace. Then the concubines who had already prepared presided over his haircut and trimming, and then put him in a leather bean suit and sent him to Kunning Palace. Let the queen carry him to Qianqing Palace.

After arriving at the Qianqing Palace, the ceremony officially began. Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne first, and the queen hugged Zhu Ciran and bowed four times in court attire.After the ceremony, Zhu Youxiao read out the oral instructions, gave Zhu Ciran his name to the queen, and then handed the queen to the nanny and returned to the palace.

The next day, under the arrangement of the Ministry of Officials, Zhu You came to Fengtianmen again to deliver the imperial edict. He told the Ministry of Rites in the name of the prince, and asked the clan to enter the name when compiling the jade certificate, thus announcing it to the world.

After all this happened, Zhu Youxiao was exhausted, but the various etiquette procedures after Zhu Ciran's birth also ended.

Afterwards, Zhu Ciran was taken care of by a full-time nanny. Zhu Youxiao also made more changes to the palace's childcare system based on his own memory, so I won't go into details here.

As Zhu Youxiao was busy, Liaodong also became busy.

Just as Zhu Youxiao expected, with Zhu Youxiao's advance planning and instructions.Zhu Xieyuan, the newly appointed governor of Liaodong, secretly said that the emperor and the Military Aircraft Department were really good at predicting the changes as soon as he received the news about Chahar.

He didn't hesitate, and while explaining the matter in a memorial, he acted according to the original plan.

First, he sent a message to He Xiong and He Shun who had returned from the capital, asking them to raise troops and prepare to use troops against Horqin.At the same time, Wengjishit's troops were asked to quickly assemble five thousand elite troops and go to Tieling to stand by. He also ordered Horqin Beile in Liaoyang to send Badali to Tieling quickly.

As a result, the entire combat system in Liaodong was awakened and put into operation again with Huang Taiji's attack. (End of chapter)
