The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

When studying the next day, Zhu Zhanji apologized to Yang Shiqi and said what Yang Shiqi wanted to hear.

Yang Shiqi didn't doubt Zhu Zhanji's intentions, thinking that His Highness Huangsun really understood, and felt relieved.Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words before, he was really worried that His Highness would grow into a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Seeing that Yang Shiqi believed his words, Zhu Zhanji was relieved.Although it is not good to lie to my husband, but in this respect, he has to lie to my husband.

Because of this matter, Zhu Zhanji knew that he could not completely spread out his true thoughts in front of the ministers. This is a taboo for a superior.Of course, you can't not expose your thoughts in front of the ministers. You still have to reveal a little to let the ministers guess. After all, the ministers are not roundworms in his stomach.

If Yang Shiqi asked him the same question again in the future, he would know what to say to reassure Mr. Yang.

On the way to Kunning Palace, Zhu Di held Zhu Zhanji's little hand and walked slowly while praising Zhu Zhanji for doing the right thing.

"Yang Shiqi came to see me and said that you are smart and intelligent, and you can understand at a glance."

Zhu Zhanji curled his lips with some disdain and said, "I'm already smart."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Yang Shiqi is completely relieved of you now, and will no longer worry about your cold-bloodedness." He thought it was funny when Yang Shiqi came to him before and was worried about Zhanji's appearance.

"Just because I think Li Shimin was right to kill Li Jiancheng and the others, I think I'm cold-blooded and heartless, really..." Zhu Zhanji said angrily, "It's ridiculous."

Zhu Di looked down at his precious grandson who was walking beside him, with a kind look on his face, and his tone was full of deep meaning: "Zhan Ji, this is the difference between monarch and minister, do you understand?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded his head knowingly and said, "Grandpa Huang, I understand."

Zhu Di reached out and touched the little head of his precious grandson, and taught Zhu Zhanji earnestly again: "Confucianism has been admired in all dynasties, and the emperor's grandfather is no exception, so the emperor's grandfather must also show benevolence and kindness in front of you, Mr. Yang, and show them I want to look like an emperor."

Zhu Zhanji suddenly sighed maturely: "Oh, it's hard to be an emperor."

Zhu Di was amused by Zhu Zhanji's exclamation: "It's certainly not easy to be an emperor, especially a good emperor."

"Grandpa, I believe you can do it." Zhu Zhanji was full of confidence in his grandfather.

Being so trusted by his precious grandson, Zhu Di felt very grateful.

"Grandpa Huang also has the confidence to do well."

After all, he was outside, and Zhu Di didn't tell Zhu Zhanji how to be a king.Instead, he talked about the foreign messengers.

Speaking of foreign envoys, Zhu Zhanji thought of a question: "Grandpa Huang, there are so many foreign envoys, most of them don't know our official language, so we have to send someone to be an interpreter, right?"

"It's natural."

Zhu Zhanji asked again: "Grandpa Huang, how many of us understand foreign languages?"

Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "Not many."

"Grandpa Huang, not many of them understand our official language, and few of us understand their official language, so it is easy to go wrong." Zhu Zhanji said with a very serious look, "If you don't understand each other's language, it is easy to cause trouble." .If the other party is playing tricks on language, we won’t be able to see it, and we will be at a disadvantage when the time comes.”

Zhu Di felt that what Zhu Zhanji said was right, and asked, "What's your idea?"

"Grandfather, in order to better maintain relations with these foreign countries, we must not only understand their languages, but also understand the customs and habits of their countries, so I think we should learn the languages ​​of foreign countries." Zhu Zhanji suggested, "Grandfather, you can set up a school or department dedicated to learning foreign languages, so that students or ministers can learn."

Hearing this, Zhu Di felt that the proposal of the baby grandson was very good, and he said with a happy face: "You continue to talk."

"People who learn foreign languages ​​should not be as strict as they are for imperial examinations. As long as someone is willing to learn, then recruit him." Zhu Zhanji said thoughtfully, "Of course we can't let people learn for nothing. Foreign languages, Grandpa, you can set up official positions, let these people who have learned well take up official positions, and let them have salaries to receive, so that there will be

Many more came to learn foreign languages. "

Zhu Di nodded slightly after hearing this: "You have a good idea, what else?"

"We can also let them translate the books of these foreign countries, so that we can better understand the foreign countries." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "By the way, by doing this, it can also be given to those who failed the imperial examination. An opportunity to enter an official position. Also, some people are very talented in languages, but not talented in reading or other things, which also gives them a chance to display their strengths."

Zhu Di nodded his head lightly, signaling Zhu Zhanji to continue.

Zhu Zhanji went on to say: "Of course there must be an assessment. Not everyone can hold an official position." After finishing speaking, he added, "It's one thing to study, but it's another thing to hold an official position."

Zhu Di bent down, picked up Zhu Zhanji, and kissed him hard on the face.

"As expected of the great grandson of Grandpa Huang, this idea is very good."

Zhu Zhanji kissed his grandpa's face back, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, learning a foreign language is also a very important thing." In his previous life, he seemed to know a few foreign languages, but which one did he know? How many, he couldn't remember.

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said: "You are right, I will discuss this matter with the ministers."

"Grandfather, I will also learn foreign languages ​​at that time." Zhu Zhanji was very interested in these foreign countries that came to the Ming Dynasty to congratulate him, and he wanted to know what their countries were like.

"You want to learn a foreign language?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded vigorously: "Well, I'm curious about them."

"Okay, Grandpa Huang will arrange for you to study then."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji first discussed the establishment of a department for learning foreign languages.

Ma Sanbao and Chen Wu who followed behind them were all shocked.

His Highness, at such a young age, actually thought of learning a foreign language, which is amazing.

When they arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji discussed the establishment of a department for learning foreign languages, and then Zhu Di will discuss this matter carefully with the ministers.

Empress Xu was waiting for their grandparents and grandchildren, and when she saw them coming, she rushed to eat because she was a little hungry.

During lunch, Zhu Di told Empress Xu about Zhu Zhanji's proposal to learn foreign languages.

After hearing this, Empress Xu praised Zhu Zhanji's proposal as very good, and a department dedicated to learning foreign languages ​​could be set up.

"Alas." Empress Xu yelled suddenly, so frightened Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji hurriedly dropped their bowls and chopsticks, and asked her what was wrong with worried and concerned faces.

"Is it about to give birth?" Zhu Di was just about to order Ma Sanbao to call the doctor Jiang, but he heard Empress Xu say, "The child just kicked me hard."

"What, little aunt kicked the imperial grandmother?" Zhu Zhanji walked up to Empress Xu and put his hand on her imperial grandmother's big belly. After a while, he felt that the little aunt in her belly was dishonest. "Kicked the imperial grandmother again!" .”

"Today, this kid is very lively and keeps kicking my stomach."

Zhu Zhanji pointed to the little aunt in his belly, and said with a straight face: "Little aunt, you must be obedient and stop kicking the emperor's grandmother, or I won't like you when you are born, and I won't play with you. I won’t bring you good reviews.”

As soon as he said this, the little aunt who was stretching and kicking in Empress Xu's stomach suddenly became honest.

Zhu Zhanji waited for a while, and smiled with satisfaction when he saw that his little aunt hadn't kicked Empress Xu's stomach again.He reached out and touched his imperial grandmother's belly, which was like a big watermelon, and praised: "Little aunt is good." After finishing speaking, he looked at Empress Xu and said, "Imperial grandmother, little aunt will not trouble you again."

Empress Xu stroked her stomach with her hand, and said with a broken smile, "This child listens to you."

When Zhu Zhanji was away, the child in her stomach kept moving, and Empress Xu told her not to move, but the daughter in her stomach didn't listen to her at all, and moved even more violently.Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanji only said one word, and made the daughter in her stomach become honest.

"Little aunt is obedient to be liked." Zhu Zhanji said to the child in Empress Xu's belly, "Little aunt, I don't like disobedient children.

Be good. "

Zhu Di was still not at ease: "I'd better ask Jiang Wusheng to come over and have a look."

Empress Xu understood Zhu Di's worries, so she didn't stop him.

"Then let Doctor Jiang come over and take a look."

"Little aunt suddenly became so restless, she must want to be born." Zhu Zhanji guessed.

Empress Xu smiled lightly and said, "It's possible."

Jiang Wusheng came very quickly, and he took the pulse of Empress Xu seriously.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the empress's body, and the child in the empress' womb is also fine."

Zhu Zhanji asked: "Doctor Jiang, is the emperor's grandmother about to give birth?"

Jiang Wusheng said respectfully, "It's only been two days."

Zhu Di's heart trembled, and he asked again: "Jiang Wusheng, are you sure there is nothing wrong with the Queen's body?"

Jiang Wusheng knew what Zhu Di was worried about, and he assured Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the empress's body, and the fetal position of the empress is also very upright, so there will be no danger during childbirth."

Hearing what Jiang Wusheng said, Zhu Di felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't be completely relieved, unless Empress Xu gave birth safely and smoothly.

"Since the queen is going to give birth in these two days, you should prepare quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Wusheng stepped back and explained some things to Bai Hua and the others.

"I'm going to give birth in two days, so I'll eat more." Empress Xu stood up, and said boldly, "Go to the dining room for dinner." After speaking, she felt even hungrier.

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the dining hall, they saw the scene of Empress Xu eating big mouthfuls.

Empress Xu seemed to be very hungry, and she ate a little "violently", so scared that Zhu Di hurriedly persuaded her to eat slowly and not to choke.

Although Empress Xu eats fiercely, she is still very elegant, not vulgar at all.However, Zhu Zhanji was still surprised by his grandmother's appearance.

Having eaten a lot for lunch, Empress Xu took Zhu Di's hand for a walk in the yard.Because she was about to give birth, Empress Xu decided to walk a little longer today.

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji walked with Empress Xu for more than an hour, and they were a little sweaty when they walked.

Empress Xu was tired after walking.At this moment, she was sitting on the couch with her right leg resting on Zhu Di's stomach, and Zhu Di was massaging her calf.

Since she was pregnant, Zhu Di massaged her every day.

After Empress Xu's belly got bigger, her legs and feet not only often cramped, but also often swelled.Every day when Zhu Di came to Kunning Palace to visit her, he would massage her legs and feet to make her feel more comfortable.

"Grandfather, Grandmother is asleep."

Seeing Empress Xu falling asleep leaning on the couch, Zhu Di laughed helplessly, and immediately reached out to pick her up and carried her back to the bedroom.After sitting by the bed for a while, Zhu Di left.

After telling Zhu Zhanji to take a good nap, Zhu Di returned to Qianqing Palace, called Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong over, and discussed the establishment of a department for learning foreign languages.

Regarding Zhu Di's proposal, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong naturally agreed.

This matter is not difficult, after discussing for an hour or two, it was settled.

Zhu Di personally named this department "Siyi Pavilion".

As soon as he discussed with Yang Rong and other ministers about the establishment of the Siyi Pavilion, he learned that Empress Xu was about to give birth.He hurried to Kunning Palace, when Empress Xu had already entered the delivery room.

The Kunning Palace had already made full preparations for Empress Xu's birth, so just now Empress Xu's stomach suddenly started to move, Bai Hua and the others did not panic at all, instead they arranged it in an orderly manner.

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji were outside the delivery room, and they didn't hear Empress Xu's cry from inside for a long time, which made them very puzzled.

At this moment, Bai Hua came out of the delivery room in a hurry, and Zhu Di called her to stop: "How is the queen, why is there no movement inside?"

"Returning to the emperor, the queen mother said that she wanted to eat roast goose, and asked the servants to get the roast goose."

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji showed surprise on their faces at the same time, and exclaimed in unison: "Eat roast goose?"

"Yes, the empress said she really wants to eat roast goose." Bai Hua bowed to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, servant girl

Go get the roast goose now. "

"Go."

Zhu Zhanji looked shocked: "The imperial grandmother doesn't eat roast goose very much on weekdays. She basically never ate it after she was pregnant with my little aunt. Why do you suddenly want to eat roast goose now?" Although Empress Xu is very good at cooking roast goose, she herself I don't like to eat very much, maybe because I ate too much when I was a child.

Xu Da loves roast goose the most, and Empress Xu made roast goose for him since he was a child.She also often eats roast goose with Xu Da.When she grows up, she doesn't eat roast goose much.

Now, she suddenly wanted to eat roast goose, so why didn't she surprise Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was also puzzled: "Who knows." After the queen became pregnant this time, her taste became a little strange, not quite different from before.Some things that I didn't eat much in the past have become favorites, and some things that I used to love are not eaten.Fortunately, Empress Xu has a good appetite.

Although Empress Xu doesn't usually eat roast goose, Kunning Palace will have roast goose every few days.

There is roast goose for lunch today.

Zhu Zhanji likes to eat roast goose, and the small kitchen of Kunning Palace often prepares roast goose.Now that Empress Xu suddenly wants to eat roast goose, the small kitchen doesn't have to rush to make roast goose.

Bai Hua walked into the delivery room with a large plate of roast goose, and Empress Xu rudely picked up the roast goose leg and began to eat it.After eating most of the roast goose, Empress Xu began to give birth.

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji waited at the door of the delivery room for a while, and finally heard Empress Xu's cry from the delivery room.

Hearing the screams of his imperial grandmother, Zhu Zhanji sighed in his heart, this is the normal situation of giving birth.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi brought Zhang Mingzhen to Kunning Palace.

In the delivery room, Empress Xu was still yelling.From her screams, you can feel that she is exerting force, and at the same time, you can feel that she is in great pain.
