In the Kunning Palace, a woman screamed in pain. On the bed, Queen Zhang was sweating profusely and raised her upper body. One hand was holding the bed sheet tightly, and the other hand was holding the hand of the palace maid next to her. arm.

Today, the maids of Kunning Palace were also busy running around. Another maid looked at the bed inside the curtains, then looked outside the door, and asked anxiously:

"Where did Sister Jiang go?"

"Sister Jiang, following the order of Empress Dowager Wu, went to Qianqing Palace to invite Long Live Lord!" another palace maid replied.

"God bless, God bless! Ancestors bless, Buddha bless!" A midwife closed her eyes tightly and clasped her hands in prayer for Queen Zhang.

At the same time, the other midwife who was delivering the baby to Queen Zhang was also very busy and sweating profusely.

"The good lady has her own destiny, she will be safe, she will be safe! My queen, go down harder, harder, harder!"

Queen Zhang gritted her teeth, moaned and pushed down harder.

Outside the gate of Kunning Palace, Empress Dowager Wu paced back and forth anxiously, holding Buddhist beads in her hand, and for a while she was chanting and praying for Empress Zhang.

This Empress Dowager Wu is the empress of the late Emperor Zhu Jianshen's palace - Wu. Because in the eighth year of Tianshun's reign, she offended Concubine Wan, which angered Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, she was deposed as a commoner and beaten????????????? ???Into the cold palace.

When Zhu Youtang was young, the Wu family secretly kept her in the palace and raised her for a period of time. Therefore, after Zhu Youtang ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to remove Empress Wu, whom Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen had deposed, from the cold palace. Please come out and place her in Ningshou Palace. The meals and clothing used by Empress Wu must meet the Empress Dowager's standards. At the same time, she will be called Empress Dowager Wu. At this point, Empress Dowager Wu is extremely grateful to Zhu Youtang.

After all, I have lived in the cold palace for more than 20 years, and my power has long been eliminated. Later, the young eunuchs and maids in the palace dared to bully me. I don't have the majesty of a queen at all. If it weren't for the current emperor Zhu Youtang, I would have suffered so much. I'm afraid the days will continue.

Because her husband was close to Empress Dowager Wu, Empress Zhang often visited Empress Dowager Wu. When deciding on some harem matters, she would ask Empress Dowager Wu for her opinion. This also allowed Empress Dowager Wu to regain her face. One person in the harem Seeing that even the Queen Mother wanted to respect Empress Dowager Wu, everyone regarded Wu as the Empress Dowager.

Now that Empress Zhang was having difficulty giving birth, Empress Dowager Wu was naturally anxious, chanting scriptures and praying.

At this time, Zhu Youtang rushed into the Kunning Palace, followed closely by the eunuch Li Guang. There were many people in the Kunning Palace. In addition to Empress Dowager Wu, there were also Concubine Li Han Qiaozi and Concubine Su Yin. Zhu Youtang had no time to salute Empress Dowager Wu. , asked hurriedly: "How is the Queen?"

I heard Empress Dowager Wu reciting the Buddha's name and saying: "Amitabha, your Majesty, you are finally here. Go inside and see the Queen. Maybe with you here, the Queen's delivery will be smoother."

Su Yin stepped forward and wiped the sweat from Zhu Youtang's forehead, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to full term, and both mother and child will be safe. Don't be too anxious."

Zhu Youtang patted Su Yin's hand gently, turned around and walked in.

I don’t know which midwife who didn’t have eyesight saw a man suddenly barging in. She yelled loudly and stepped forward to stop her:

"You're blind, get out of here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guangda was shocked. He rushed in front of Zhu Youtang and slapped the blind midwife to the ground. He shouted angrily: "Come here, drag me down and beat me to death!"

When the midwife was knocked to the ground, her hand happened to be on Zhu Youtang's boots. When she saw the nine-clawed golden dragon engraved on them, she realized that the only man who could enter the harem was the emperor!

The midwife still wanted to beg for mercy, but Zhu Youtang ignored her and stepped over her, heading straight to the queen's bed.

Li Guang scolded the young eunuchs and maids who came in: "Let us parents remember and open your eyes. If anyone makes a mistake again, please keep your life here!"

Since Li Guang became the Chief of Ceremonies, his style was completely different from that of his predecessor Huai En. He was decisive and ruthless in everything he did, and everyone in the inner court knew this.

Empress Dowager Wu and the two concubines couldn't say anything, so they could only watch the blind midwife being dragged away by the eunuchs.

As soon as Zhu Youtang arrived at Queen Zhang's bed, she heard Queen Zhang scream again and then fainted. Her face was very pale, her wet hair stuck to her face, and her lips were bloodless.

"It's incredible, it's incredible!" The palace maid next to her screamed in fright.

"Hurry up and feed the ginseng soup, hurry up and feed the ginseng soup!"

The midwife invited from the private sector was sweating profusely. While instructing the palace maid, she cried to Zhu Youtang:

"Long live my lord, call the imperial doctor quickly!"

When Zhu Youtang heard this, he hurriedly called the imperial doctor outside the house.

After hearing the summons, several imperial doctors rushed forward to feel the pulse and insert needles. At this time, Zhu Youtang also turned around in a hurry and continued to shout out: "Let those private doctors come in together!"

After he finished speaking, he asked the imperial doctor who was taking the pulse: "How is it? How is the queen?"

Among them, the imperial physician who performed the acupuncture also had dense beads of sweat on his head. He gritted his teeth and said risking his life: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Queen may not be able to do it."

Now...you'd better make a decision quickly, whether to keep the adults or the children..."

Zhu Youtang was feeling distressed and anxious for Empress Zhang at the same time. Hearing what the doctor who performed the acupuncture said, he couldn't help but get angry and cursed:

"You bunch of losers and losers, aren't you very good at boasting with me on weekdays? Ah? You talk loudly, but none of them are useful at the critical moment. You are really eating the royal salary in vain. You should take medicine quickly and cure it quickly! Queen and Dragon

I want it all, if one of you does something wrong today, I will take your head!"

When the imperial doctors heard this, they knelt down, trembling, and kowtowed quickly to beg for mercy.

At this time, Zhu Youtang really resented the backwardness of medical skills in this era, and he did not know how to perform a caesarean section. If the caesarean section technology was available in later generations, why bother to go to such trouble!

Seeing that all the imperial doctors headed by Liu Wentai stopped and kowtowed to beg for mercy, Zhu Youtang remembered that Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen and the historical Emperor Hongzhi all died in his hands. He gritted his teeth angrily and kicked Liu Wentai over.

, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Liu Wentai's face.

"You bastard, trash!

The private doctors who had just entered the door had never seen such a scene. They were frightened and fell to their knees for a while, but one of the doctors shouted: "Let me try! Let me try!"

I saw the imperial physician stepping forward to check the Queen's pulse, and at the same time took out a row of small silver needles from his pocket and pricked several acupuncture points on Queen Zhang's body.

After just drinking a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup and being given a few injections by the folk doctor, Empress Zhang woke up unexpectedly, but her face became even paler, she no longer had the strength to moan, and cold sweat continued to form from her hairline.

Zhu Youtang hurriedly sat in front of the bed, held Queen Zhang's hand, and said distressedly: "Yu'er is fine, the doctor has a way."

Empress Zhang struggled to hold back a sentence: "Long live the Lord... protect the child!"

Zhu Youtang was so excited that he squeezed Queen Zhang's hand tightly and cried: "You and Long Zi both want it. You are the queen of the Ming Dynasty, and you want your mother to honor the world. You want to live up to your expectations and give me the dragon."

Once the son is born, after he is born... everything will be fine..."

At this time, Queen Zhang suddenly seemed to be injected with vitality. She held her breath and her face gradually turned red.

The imperial doctor next to him hurriedly shouted: "Call the midwife, call the midwife quickly!"

Zhu Youtang squeezed Queen Zhang's hand tighter, and encouraged him loudly:

"Work harder, work harder!"

The midwife next to me heard this and hurried to the bed.

I don't know how long it took, but a baby's cry came from the screen.

The midwife and the imperial doctor who delivered the baby breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that if the queen and the prince were really in trouble today, their heads would probably have to move.

"God bless the Ming Dynasty! The Queen is blessed, mother and son are safe..."

The midwife knelt down holding the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

At this time, all the concubines, maids, and eunuchs knelt down and shouted in unison: "The Emperor is very happy! The Queen is very happy! The Ming Dynasty is very happy!"

Zhu Youtang excitedly took the baby from the midwife's hands. He looked at the child carefully. Unexpectedly, he had already given birth to his first child less than two years after traveling through time.

Empress Zhang saw Zhu Youtang holding the child and making the child laugh. She closed her eyes weakly, with a happy smile on her face.

The Ming Emperor's eldest son was born, and Zhu Youtang knew that this child was the Zhengde Emperor in history, Zhu Houzhao.

In fact, Emperor Zhengde in history was very smart when he was young, good at riding and shooting, and he was an emperor with both civil and military skills. Logically speaking, such a person can become a wise emperor through the ages.

However, Emperor Hongzhi only favored Empress Zhang and pursued monogamy. In addition, he spent all day and night dealing with government affairs, so he neglected to care for the prince.

Teaching. And the young prince had eight more eunuchs beside him. In order to please Zhu Houzhao, they performed eagle and dog performances, singing and dancing, horn fighting and other plays every day. At that time, the East Palace was jokingly called the "Hundred Theaters". The young prince

Zhu Houzhao could not resist the temptation of these things, so he indulged in them. Finally, the young Zhu Houzhao was led to bad things and developed a "unique" character.

But he has traveled through time and is not the historical Emperor Hongzhi, and I believe that the son he gave birth to is not the historical Emperor Zhengde.

Although he already knew who the child was, Zhu Youtang still had to pretend that he didn't know anything. He sat in front of Queen Zhang's bed with the baby in his arms and said softly: "Yu'er, thank you for your hard work."

Empress Zhang said weakly: "Please give us a name for our child."

Speaking of naming, we have to mention the rules for naming the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang established a seniority for each of his sons' descendants.

Each person's son's generation has 25 characters, which also means 25 generations of inheritance. Lao Zhu is still self-aware, so he only chose 25 characters, which is not too much. The lineage of Prince Zhu Biao is "Yunwen follows the instructions of his ancestors, Qin

Lord Wu is victorious. It is better to follow the road and be lucky, and to be a good teacher and make good use of it."

But later, Zhu Biao died early and Zhu Yunwen came to the throne. Zhu Di launched the Jingnan Campaign, overthrew Zhu Yunwen's rule and became the emperor himself.

The 25 characters of Zhu Di's lineage are "Gao Zhan Qi Jian You, Hou Zai Yi Chang You. Ci He Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jing Di Xian You." Because of this, Emperor Yongle's son was named Zhu Gaochi, his grandson was named Zhu Zhanji, and his great-grandson

It is called Zhu Qizhen, followed by Zhu Jianshen and others. After that, the character in the middle of the Ming Dynasty emperor was taken here. This is a clear rule.

In addition to seniority, Zhu Yuanzhang also had strict rules for the last character in his name. That is, it should be chosen according to the five characters "wood, fire, earth, metal, and water". This is the order in which the five elements are mutually reinforcing.

The last character in the name of Zhu Yuanzhang's son must be "wood" as the radical radical, the last character in the name of his grandchildren must be the radical radical "fire", and the last character in the name of his great-grandchildren must be "earth" as the radical radical. Once

After it is used up, the cycle continues. This is why Zhu Di's "Di" is next to the character wood, Zhu Gaochi's "chi" is next to the character "fire", Zhu Zhanji's "ji" is next to the character "tu", and Zhu Qizhen's "zhen" is next to the character "gold".

Zhu Youtang pretended to think deeply for a while and said: "According to seniority, our child should use the word "thick", so let's call him Zhu Houzhao!"
