Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 348 The Second Son is Born, with the Talent of Martial Arts! He is named Zhu Wenzhan!
today!

Perhaps it really is a good day.

Zhu Ying recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan genealogy.

He was even granted the title of Imperial Grandson.

Meanwhile, his wife Liu Yu'er was also about to give birth, and their second child would be born today.

The Crown Prince's Residence.

With Zhu Yingcheng now officially appointed as the Crown Prince, the original plaque for Prince Yu Huai has been removed and replaced by the Crown Prince's Residence.

The rank is now higher.

now.

The entire Crown Prince's residence was on high alert.

Outside the mansion.

The Imperial Guards stood at attention.

The Imperial Guards stood at attention.

The royal guards, who belonged to the Crown Prince's residence, also stood at attention.

It can be said.

The most advanced military regulations of the Ming Dynasty are all here.

The commanders of the three armies are all here, with Guo Zhen, Luo Yang, and Liu Lei guarding the outside.

It can be said.

At this moment, the Crown Prince's residence was under the most stringent security measures.

Inside the mansion.

Inside the palace where Liu Yu'er was located.

Maids were coming and going everywhere, very busy.

Although it's his second time being a father.

But Zhu Ying still appeared very nervous at this moment.

"Haha."

"Biao'er, it's really rare to see U.A. perform like this."

"You little rascal, you actually have moments of fear." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Zhu Ying's worried and anxious expression.

but.

Zhu Biao, standing to the side, did not echo this sentiment, but watched with a sense of unease, after all, this was his second grandson.

"I wonder if this baby is a boy or a girl?" Zhu Biao asked with some trepidation.

"I like them whether they are boys or girls," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Now that the eldest son has been born, and Zhu Ying's other three women are pregnant, their offspring will surely flourish in the future.

At this moment!

Inside the palace.

A baby's cry was heard.

It sounded extremely loud.

next moment.

A midwife emerged carrying a baby wrapped in red cloth, whose cries were exceptionally loud.

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"The Crown Prince's wife gave birth to a son."

The midwife approached Zhu Ying and said respectfully.

He then handed over the baby he was carrying.

Zhu Ying immediately took it and saw that it was wrinkled and crumpled, just like Zhu Wenxi had been.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao immediately came over.

"Yu'er is truly a good granddaughter-in-law of ours, and she has given Xiong Ying another son," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, very pleased.

In this era.

It was absolutely a case of male chauvinism, and this was something that the times couldn't change; even in later generations, many places still held this view.

"The host's second offspring has been born."

"Should talents be assigned randomly?"

Just as Zhu Ying was holding his second son, a notification sound rang out from the control panel.

"Randomly assign talents."

Zhu Ying answered without hesitation, "Grant it!"

When Zhu Wenxi was born.

It endowed him with the talent of [politics].

This also explains why Zhu Wenxi, at such a young age, already possesses excellent handwriting skills and demonstrates exceptional talent in literature and governance.

Although he didn't know what talent he could bestow upon his second son this time, Zhu Ying was very clear that as long as a talent was given, it would surely be outstanding.

Regardless of his talent, Zhu Ying will guide him according to that talent's development path in the future.

"Random talent granted," the panel notification indicated.

next moment.

A golden halo gently descended upon Zhu Ying's second son, whom he was holding.

After a moment.

"Successfully granted the talent [Martial]," the panel notification stated.

Upon hearing this one word.

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Talent [Martial Arts], it seems that the second brother will be good at martial arts in the future and will be able to fight alongside me on the battlefield and conquer cities and territories. Not bad."

The eldest is in politics, and the second is in military affairs; they truly complement each other.

"Yongying."

"Have you thought of a name for him yet?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"Wenxi's future will be based on political affairs, and the second son will naturally follow me to conquer the world, in the name of war." Zhu Ying smiled and made the decision directly.

"Zhu Wenzhan?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately chose the generation name and nodded upon hearing it.

"no way."

"Although it sounds a bit awkward, this generational naming system was decided by you, old man," Zhu Ying said with a smile.

"You brat, you always like to talk back to me for no reason," Zhu Yuanzhang said irritably.

"Haha."

Zhu Ying burst into laughter.

Subsequently.

Looking at the busy maids and servants around him, he immediately said, "All those who participated in the delivery today will be generously rewarded."

"Uncle Lin, please make the arrangements."

Zhu Ying said loudly.

Lin Fu immediately stepped forward: "This old servant obeys."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

All the servants around him thanked him respectfully.

"Old man, father."

"I'll go in and check on Yu'er."

"You should also take a look at Wen Zhan," Zhu Ying said with a smile, handing the second son in his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Go."

"Yu'er is a great contributor to our Zhu family, so you must treat her well," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, taking his second great-grandson with him.

A joyful smile graced his old face.

The continuation of bloodlines is naturally something to be happy about.

Zhu Ying then went inside the hall.

The second delivery was naturally smoother than the first.

Liu Yu'er lay on the bed, extremely weak.

"Yu'er, you've worked hard." Zhu Ying stepped forward and comforted her gently.

“It is Yu’er’s duty to bear children for her husband,” Liu Yu’er replied gently.

"I've prepared something good for you, a miraculous elixir that I personally concocted."

"If you take this, it will replenish your depleted essence and blood," Zhu Ying said with concern, taking out a bottle of pills from his pocket.

Then Liu Yu'er took one.

The entrance to the elixir.

A surge of pure energy spread out, giving Liu Yu'er's pale face a touch of color.

"Medicines can be used as a supplement, but you still need to rest and recuperate."

"I've already chosen a name for the child, Zhu Wenzhan."

"When Wenxi was in power, he advocated both civil and military affairs."

"From now on, join me in expanding the territory of the Ming Dynasty," Zhu Ying said gently, holding Liu Yu'er's hand.

"Okay." Liu Yu'er nodded and wrote down her second son's name.

But outside.

Many ministers who heard the news that Liu Yu'er was about to give birth also came.

The generals of Huaixi, as well as many ministers.

"I will see you, Your Majesty."

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

When the many ministers arrived and saw Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, they immediately bowed respectfully.

"All right."

"No need to be polite."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"emperor."

"Was Yu'er born a boy or a girl this time?"

Lan Yu leaned forward and asked with great curiosity.

"Yu'er has given us another great-grandson," Zhu Yuanzhang said happily.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" "Congratulations, Crown Prince!" Lan Yu and other officials immediately offered their congratulations.

"Liu Jing".

"Your father has a wonderful granddaughter," Zhu Yuanzhang said, turning to look at Liu Jing beside him with a smile.

Hear this.

Liu Jing immediately bowed deeply: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

For Liu Jing, there was naturally an indescribable excitement in his heart.

Because of his marriage ties with Zhu Ying, Liu Jing's status and position rose accordingly, eventually becoming the Minister of Revenue.

It can be said.

As long as the Liu family doesn't rebel or plot against the government, their family will surely prosper in the future.

Now that Liu Yu'er has given birth to another son for Zhu Ying, her status is naturally even higher, and no one can shake her position.

"All right."

"It's perfect that you're here today."

“Our grandson is considerate of his officials. You will hear good news this afternoon, and I guarantee you will be happy.”

Seeing these officials arrive, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke with a meaningful tone.

Hear this.

Almost all the ministers looked bewildered, except for Liu Jing, who had a smile on his face, indicating that he had already received the imperial edict.

"All right."

"I will accept your sentiments on behalf of Xiong Ying."

"The Ming Dynasty is currently at a critical juncture in the implementation of many national policies. You may all return now."

“I will have Xiong Ying host a banquet another day,” Zhu Biao said.

Hear this!

The ministers bowed and then withdrew.

……

outside the house.

"Minister Liu".

"What did His Majesty mean just now?"

Once outside the mansion.

Generals like Lan Yu, along with the other ministers from the six ministries, all looked at Liu Jing.

"My lords."

"This afternoon, the salaries of all Ming Dynasty officials will be doubled."

"Moreover, it's not just about increased salaries; there's also the Crown Prince's encouragement of officials across the land. Once officials achieve political success, they will receive even greater rewards," Liu Jing said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Salary doubled?"

Hear this.

The surrounding civil and military officials were all shocked, clearly not expecting this.

"In short, you can all see the proclamation tomorrow."

"Moreover, besides this, there is another joyous occasion in our Great Ming Dynasty."

"The Crown Prince has brought back the Imperial Seal of the State. Now our Great Ming Dynasty is truly legitimate, and the Emperor is also ordained by Heaven and will live a long and prosperous life," Liu Jing said with a look of awe.

When everyone heard the words "Imperial Seal of the State," they were immediately struck by them.

Everyone was stunned.

"The imperial seal?"

"real or fake?"

"Wasn't the Imperial Seal of the State lost long ago?"

Everyone looked at Liu Jing with surprise.

"This was stated by the Emperor in his imperial edict."

"It can't be fake," Liu Jing said with a smile.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is truly a man chosen by Heaven."

"The Imperial Seal of the State has actually been brought back by the Crown Prince."

"It's a blessing from heaven."

……

The ministers spoke one after another, their voices filled with shock.

The significance of the Imperial Seal of the State to the Chinese nation is self-evident.

Time turns.

In various government offices throughout Kyoto.

An imperial edict from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel arrived.

One of.

This meant that the salaries of officials appointed by the Ming Dynasty would be doubled.

Two.

This is the year-end reward. Fifty people are selected from each department, each authority, and even each prefecture for their outstanding political achievements, and they are rewarded with a salary.

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise, Your Highness the Grandson is wise."

"With my salary doubling, I can finally live a good life from now on."

"Yes."

“In the past, we had to be careful with our salary, but now that the salary has doubled, the wives in the family can finally have more money to spend.”

"The year-end salary, which is a reward for outstanding political achievements, is provided by the royal family. This must be the work of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Of course."

"Since the Crown Prince took over the administration of state affairs, he has established many national policies that are beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and now it seems that this is no exception."

"Except."

"There is also the money for supporting the royal family. In the future, the support for the royal family will be unrelated to the national treasury and will be supported by the royal property established by the grandson of the crown prince. Once the royal family members are fifteen years old or older, they will no longer be supported. For those under fifteen, the support will continue until they turn fifteen. In the fiefdoms, only the vassal kings can receive support, and even the support money will be halved."

"The Grandson is truly wise."

"The flaws of the imperial family were exposed that day, which would inevitably drag down the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Now, this change will surely make the Ming Dynasty even stronger."

"The Crown Prince has returned from the common people and is well aware of their suffering and the very foundation of the nation. This is truly a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and for all its people."

"That's right. The Crown Prince not only cares about the common people, but also about us, his subjects who serve the Ming Dynasty. The imperial edict says that the salary has doubled now, and it will increase again when the Ming Dynasty becomes stronger."

……

Inside the various government offices of Yingtian Prefecture.

This naturally made all the officials overjoyed.

of course.

Not only officials, but also yamen runners who served the court, saw their salaries double.

These are truly benevolent officials who have brought great fortune to the Ming Dynasty.

but.

Under another imperial decree.

The change in the support provided by the imperial family and clan was definitely not a good thing for the vassal kings.

Inside their palace, swearing was already rampant.

"Damn Zhu Xiong Ying."

"So cruel."

"It's one thing to halve the support, but from now on, our descendants can only support them until they are fifteen years old. After that, we will stop supporting them."

"He dares to act like this while Father is still alive. Once Father is gone, he will definitely target us."

"Damn it."

"Heaven has no eyes! Why did it allow this damned Zhu Xiong Ying to come back to life?"

At this moment, the vassal kings were filled with angry curses.

This is a significant loss to their interests.

With this change in national policy.

Their lives will not be as luxurious and comfortable as before. Moreover, after they are returned to their fiefdoms, although they will be nominally vassal kings, they will actually become mascots and no longer have any real power.

but.

They dared not utter these angry curses in front of Zhu Ying.

All he could do was close the gates and mutter a few curses under his breath.

With the issuance of these two imperial edicts.

Although it doesn't truly affect people's livelihoods, it will definitely play a significant role for the entire Ming Dynasty.

Wenyuan Pavilion!
"How was the response?"

Seeing Zhu Biao approach, Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly.

"The officials in each government office were extremely happy, as if it were New Year's Day."

"However, inside the Prince's residence, I just questioned Jiang Huan, and my brothers had quite a few complaints, even cursing Xiong Ying." Zhu Biao said calmly.

Obviously.

Zhu Biao's indifferent attitude reveals that he no longer values ​​his younger brothers as much as before, nor is he as close to them anymore. Clearly, he has been hurt by Zhu Di.

Now, he can only face them as a ruler.

Listen to what Zhu Biao said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then said, "After a while, let them go back to their fiefdoms and stop getting in our way."

“Xiongying is right.”

People change.

"Once you have power, things will change."

"Most of your younger brothers have become unrecognizable to us. From now on, let each of their main branches become wealthy. Otherwise, we can't truly be fair and impartial."

Obviously.

Now.

Zhu Yuanzhang also gave up his original idea.

Based on the actions of Zhu Gui and his rebellious sons, Zhu Yuanzhang had already given up on them.
