Daming Military Empire

Chapter 437 It's Difficult to Pick a Name
When Zhu Cijiong rushed to the bedroom excitedly, there was already a lot of laughter and laughter, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces came. Princess Anna is also here. I don't even know when she will arrive!
At this time, the empress dowagers of the two palaces were hugging their sons and teasing in front of the bed, while the imperial concubine Princess Anna was sitting in front of the bed excitedly discussing the experience of raising children with Queen Qin Mingyue.

The arrival of the emperor didn't seem to have much impact on them. The eunuchs and maids knelt down on the ground. The empress dowagers of the two palaces seemed to only have grandsons in their eyes at the moment, and they didn't respond at all to the arrival of his son. Princess Anna just Turning around, he gave a little blessing, made a gesture, then turned back and whispered to the empress.

Zhu Cijiong looked awkwardly at his son who was held in the hands of the empress dowagers of the two palaces, then at Qin Mingyue who was lying on the bed, and finally ran to the bed and asked with concern: "Mingyue, are you okay?"

Empress Qin Mingyue deserves to be a martial arts practitioner. At this time, she was only a little pale, and there was nothing serious about it. Seeing the emperor's question, she smiled and replied: "My concubine is fine, and I am sorry for your majesty's concern."

Zhu Cijiong looked at the son in the Empress Dowager Ren's hands again, and rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, as if he wanted to hug him.

Seeing this scene, Empress Qin Mingyue quickly chimed in and said, "Your Majesty, has our emperor's son chosen a good name?"

This really attracted the attention of the two Empress Dowagers, and Empress Dowager Ren raised her head and asked curiously: "Yes, have you chosen the name of my good grandson?"

Zhu Cijiong took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said, "Mother, let me take a good look first."

Only then did Queen Mother Ren let go, and carefully sent his precious son into his arms.

Zhu Cijiong looked down carefully, the little guy was blushing, his eyes were closed, and he was humming unconsciously.

This is my son!A burst of family affection thicker than water surged into his heart in an instant. At this moment, he only knew to stare at the son in his arms and giggle, so he didn't have time to worry about choosing a name.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help urging softly: "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?"

Hearing this, Zhu Cijiong raised his head in embarrassment, "Ah", in fact, he had already thought of the name, but he was a little embarrassed to say it.

The name of the Zhu family's royal family is easy to choose, and it is not easy to choose. Why do you say that?
It is said that he is easy to choose because at this time, the names are all with characters, that is to say, there is no need to think about the character in the middle.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang drew up a [-]-character ranking for each of his sons, and for Yan Wang Zhu Di's line: Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Chang You.Ci and Yi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou.

Zhu Cijiong's name contains the word Ci, which means that his son is from the generation of " and ".

Moreover, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also stipulated that the last word in the name must take the radicals of the five elements, in order of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Zhu Cijiong's "jiong" is next to the word fire, which means that the last character of his son's name must be next to the word earth.

The characters " and " in the middle are all set, and the last word is half set, so this name is easy to choose.

However, the royal family cannot be named randomly, especially the crown prince who is likely to succeed to the throne, the name must be carefully chosen, because there was a taboo at that time, that is, any word in the emperor's name should not be used by ordinary people. You can't use it, it's a taboo to use it!

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang’s name contained a character of yuan, and the money before the Ming Dynasty was called Yuanbao, gold ingot, silver ingot and so on. Everyone used to call it that way, but when it came to Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn’t dare to call it that way anymore. , because it is called Yuanzi, so it can only be changed to Tongbao in the end.

That is to say, to name the precious prince in his hand, he must use the characters next to the earth characters, and must also use rare characters, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the people.

For example, it sounds good to say Zhu and Sheng, but in the future, no one dares to call Sheng Shang.

For another example, Zhu Hekun seems to be a good choice, but those righteous people seem to like to use "broad daylight, clear heaven and earth."
Of course, it wasn't a very strict requirement that the name must be next to the local characters, and it must also be a rare character. At the beginning, the name was relatively easy to choose.

However, there is another problem. You, an emperor, cannot have the same name as your ancestors, so it is best not to use the words used by your ancestors.

Now it is difficult for Zhu Cijiong, because in his generation, the five elements have been rotated twice. Although this earth character is only used once for some reason, the Zhu family is famous for being able to give birth to thousands of children. There is no problem with eight hundred children, but the total number of characters next to the earth characters is only more than 200. These characters have almost been used up by the previous generation!

Zhu Cijiong checked it carefully, and it seems that there is only one that has not been used, and that is the emperor's "Huang" next to the earth character. Who would dare to use this character except the emperor?
The last time the word "Zai" was used next to the character "Zai". Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty was called Zhu Zaihou, but not Zhu Zaidou. Naturally, others would not dare to call him Zhu Zaidou.

Therefore, Zhu Cijiong has named his precious son Zhu Heji!
However, this name is indeed a bit too that, I don't know if it is mighty and domineering, or just being stupid, it made him a little embarrassed to speak.

Seeing that Zhu Cijiong remained silent for a long time, even the always gentle and weak Queen Mother Ren couldn't bear it anymore, she asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?"

Forced by the two empress dowagers, Zhu Cijiong had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Well, everyone knows that the generational characters set by the Taizu for my royal family are: Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Chang You. Kindness Yi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou."

Isn’t this nonsense? Who doesn’t know that? Empress Zhang couldn’t help urging: “Then what is the name of our good grandson Zhu He?”

Zhu Cijiong said hesitantly: "Also, Taizu also stipulated that the last character in the name must take the radical of the five elements, in order of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. My generation took the character next to fire, so the next generation must It's next to the word "earth."

This is also nonsense, and the people present don't know it!

Why is the emperor talking a lot of nonsense today, even the empress Qin Mingyue couldn't help urging: "Then what is the name of our emperor's son?"

Zhu Cijiong was helpless, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I have checked, and the characters next to the characters of earth are almost used by the generation of ancestors. There is only one character that has not been used, and that is the characters next to the characters of earth." An imperial character."

Zhu Heji!
When everyone heard the words, they almost fell to the ground. Isn't this name too good?
Empress Qin Mingyue couldn't help worrying and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this name too big?"

Anyway, Zhu Cijiong didn't feel embarrassed when his name was said at this moment, he replied domineeringly: "What are you afraid of, my son is destined to be the emperor, what's the matter with using a character!"
