Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 362 Centenary Banquet

Hongwu tenth year, February 16th.

On this day, the Prince of Qin's palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful banquets, and was packed with guests. It was really more lively than the Chinese New Year.

The royal family and nobles from the capital gathered together to drink the 100-year-old wine of the second eldest son.

Boss Zhu was in a good mood with the addition of a new member to the old Zhu family. Naturally, he and Empress Ma came to the Qin Palace to accept the congratulations of the ministers as grandparents.

"Haha, the eldest and the third have sons, and the second has a son now," he said happily and started to drink. "My old Zhu family is really prosperous."

"Yes, yes." All the old brothers naturally complimented him endlessly and kept toasting.

But in fact, the prince had been married for many years before giving birth to a son. So does the third child. The second child just gave birth to a son now. All three families are single seedlings...and there has been no movement from the fourth child's side so far. It seems that it is difficult to give birth again.

But Lao Zhu is right when he says that his family is prosperous. Last autumn, he gave birth to his fourteenth son Zhu Kai; yesterday, he gave birth to his fifteenth son Zhu Zhi...

It has to be said that Lao Zhu is very capable. A group of sons tied together are not as good as him alone.

Empress Ma was speechless for a moment when she thought of this, and rolled her eyes at the guy, that's pretty much it. With so many sons, how will the court be able to support them in the future...

Zhu Yuanzhang felt the chill instantly and quickly said to Zhu Di: "Fourth brother, you have to hurry up. It's just a matter of giving birth to a child. It's a grind. Your father-in-law is very disappointed when he returns to Peking."

"Alas." Zhu Di blushed and said, "My son, I will work hard."

"Fourth, don't listen to dad, he is drunk and talking nonsense." Queen Ma had to speak. If Lao Zhu's words reached the ears of the fourth daughter-in-law, how much pressure would it put on her.

"How many days did you get married last year? He sent you out for a whole year and didn't come back until the twelfth lunar month." She glared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Have you given the young couple time? Where are you? Do you have time to have a baby?"

"Okay, we won't rush you." Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his wife didn't like him recently, so he quickly expressed his position: "Fourth brother, we won't let you go anywhere this year. You will make a baby with your wife at home. When will it be successful? Get out!"

"Dad..." Zhu Di was so embarrassed that he was going to laugh to his death.

Not only the third child, but also Li Jinglong, Xu Huizu and their gang of bad friends also laughed so hard that they lost their humanity...

Fortunately, at this time, the second child and his wife came out from behind with the fat boy in their arms, and kowtowed to the father, the emperor and the queen together.

"Haha, good." Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma couldn't help but smile happily. This young couple has been a problem that his old couple has had for many years.

Now that Qin and Se are harmonious and have created a fat and white boy, Boss Zhu and Queen Ma never dared to dream about it before.

"Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang reached out to take his third grandson and kissed his tender cheeks.

At this time, the female official presented Baijia clothes and Baijia locks, and Empress Ma personally put them on the little baby.

This is the traditional ceremony of the centenary ceremony. A baby born one hundred days ago is called a "hundred-year-old" or "hundred-year-old". In order to pray for their children, people will collect cloth of various colors from many homes and piece it together to make a child's clothes, called "Baijiayi". The intention is to pray for a long life for the child, and it is usually worn until the child is one year old and then taken off.

Similar to Baijia Lock, gold and silver from many families are often collected to make a long-life lock for the child. The meaning is self-evident.

Boss Zhu's third grandson's Baijiayi and Baijiasuo are amazing. They were contributed by 101 families who ranked second in the Ming Dynasty.

There were too few things to get rid of, so each family contributed a piece of cloth and a piece of gold.

So a hundred pieces of cloth sewed such a small Baijia Yi; a hundred gold coins made such a small Baijia Lock.

As for the remaining materials, Boss Zhu will not return them!

Well, in a few months, his family's fifteenth will come again. The palace will make clothes this year, so there is no need to buy any more cloth.

~~

After the empress personally dressed her third grandson, Minmin quietly poked her dick, which had been enjoying itself.

"What, what happened?"

"My son hasn't been named yet." Princess Qin was speechless for a while.

"Oh," the second child suddenly understood, and quickly said, "Please, please, please give me a name for your grandson."

"Haha, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed and started thinking on the spot.

Before the emperor's eldest grandson was born, he had already named him. It's the third grandson's turn. He's already a hundred days old and he hasn't thought of a name yet.

Alas, this gap really cannot be considered in detail...

Fortunately, it is very convenient to name it now, because Boss Zhu, the setting mad boss, has already figured out the poems of generations.

In most families, brothers of the same generation share the same generation. But Boss Zhu considered that his children and grandchildren would marry many, many wives in the future. It would be too difficult to name each generation with the same word. So I decided to write a five-character generation poem for each son, so that each of the sons could have an independent poem.

This was obviously not in line with tradition, and officials from the Ministry of Rites naturally objected. But the objection was ineffective, and Boss Zhu insisted on distinguishing the descendants of each branch. He said that this way, just by looking at the names, you can know which grandson belongs to which branch and which generation he belongs to, which will make it clearer.

Those of you who have few offspring can't understand the troubles of having many offspring, right?

History can prove that Boss Zhu’s worries are not unnecessary...

Anyway, the matter is settled.

The eldest prince Zhu Biao's poem is: "Yunwen obeys the instructions of his ancestors, and the emperor Qinwu wins." It is good to follow the road, and a good teacher will make good use of it. ’

The poem written by the second Qin king Zhu Zhenyi is: "Shang Zhigong is honest and sincere, but only respects and friendship remains." The auxiliary heir is honest and upright, and he will always be trustworthy. ’

A poem written by Zhu Fan, the third king of the Jin Dynasty, is: "I love beauty and strange appearance, but I am cautious in seeking new things." Examine your heart and admire the scenery, and continue your previous studies by describing your studies. ’

The poem written by Zhu Di, the fourth king of Yan, is: "Looking high at Qi Jianyou, carrying Yi often." Ci and Yi are brothers, and Jian and Jingdi are the first.

Although the sixth child is not yet married, Boss Zhu has already made preparations for him - 'Meng Jijun will show his glory, his talent will be magnified, his talent will be promoted, and his career will be complete. ’

At that time, the third child asked his father, what should I name him if he is twenty generations later? Boss Zhu replied, let’s do it again.

Zhu Zhen didn't really care. Half the poem mentioned someone hanging himself on a southeastern branch...right, Youjian?

~~

So the second character of this child’s name has already been decided – ‘Shang’

And the last word cannot be used freely. Boss Kuang Zhu stipulated that this character should also be based on the order of the five elements, with 'wood, fire, earth, gold, and water' as the radicals.

Because the names of Boss Zhu’s sons all have the character “木” next to them. Wood makes fire, so the third generation of each tribe uses the word "fire" next to it.

For example, the eldest son of the third child is named Zhu Jixi...

Of course, all the above rules do not apply to the emperor's eldest grandson. First, when Zhu Xiongying was born, Boss Zhu had not yet figured out this set of nomenclature that made an outstanding contribution to the periodic table of elements. Secondly, the prince asked for permission later on whether to rename Xiongying according to the nomenclature.

Zhu Yuanzhang, a patient with advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder, said without hesitation - no need! My grandson, the emperor, should be different!

Talking back to the poor third grandson, the eldest son of King Qin was named Zhu Shangkang by his grandfather...
