Wanli Xinming

Chapter 353 Fertility
Zhu Yiliu came out of Yutai Teahouse and went into the palace to ask to see Empress Dowager Li.After all, he beat his grandfather's housekeeper. Although Li An's identity is extremely unequal to him, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, especially when the owner is his mother, grandfather and elder, timely communication is necessary.

After seeing Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Yili spoke angrily about the conflict between himself and that Li An, focusing on his domineering appearance.Empress Dowager Li has been worrying about her parents' family for many years, and she has long been tired and crooked. She heard that King Lu handled it in a reasonable and disciplined manner, but she just gave the housekeeper a few mouths, and sent the evil servant to the official court, and said: "My son, it's okay to beat him. His family sees all these rotten things. It annoys me to death."

King Lu scratched his head.Zhu Yijun had already crossed over when he was young. Although he didn't have much contact with this cheap imperial brother on weekdays, the emperor Shen Yi's resolute and indifferent character left an indelible impression on his young mind—— When Na Fei was in line with his sister-in-law, although there were teenagers' thoughts, the more reason was that he felt that the only thing that could match the emperor's brother was to find a wife, and the others could only stand up.

In the process of his growing up, he also saw the respect of the emperor's brother whom he admired so much to his mother, which led him to have a very strong admiration for the Queen Mother Li.Especially in the first year of Zhu Yijun's accession to the throne, his mother often held him to discuss military affairs with his brother, which made him even more fearful of his mother who loved him. It was because he didn't dare to ask Empress Dowager Li for permission.

Now listening to Empress Dowager Li's common complaint, Zhu Yiliu suddenly seemed to have broken through the "knowledge barrier", and found that his mother's level of worship and fear for years was not good enough.He heard the words and laughed:

"Mother, this Li An is very stupid. My son also said, 'Why have I never seen you?', this guy didn't understand what he meant, but was even more rude, which forced me to attack. "

After listening to it, Queen Mother Li thought for a while before she understood: "Yeah, you gave him a chance, he deserves this beating." After hearing this, Zhu Yiliu's heart was settled.

After the end was cleaned up, he changed the subject and said, "Mother-in-law, now your daughter-in-law has insufficient milk, do you know some good recipes?"

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she immediately turned her attention to her grandson, and said with her forehead: "Don't listen to the emperor's nonsense, not to mention our heavenly family's children, even the children of rural landlords are fed by wet nurses, how can there be direct mothers who breastfeed themselves— - The emperor has a lot of fallacies, how can he, a man, know the truth of having children!"

When Zhu Yiliu heard this, he couldn't help but retort: ​​"The imperial sister-in-law and the imperial concubines are all nursing their children. Now the prince and the nephews are all strong and strong, and there is no congenital deficiency. To be honest, in our Forbidden City, the prince was born, Why did he ever die? Grandpa Sejong raised eight children, the emperor and his uncle. Isn’t that scary enough? It’s just the same for a poor folk’s family.”

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she was stunned.Since she became the queen mother, people in the inner palace have always said auspicious words to her, so since Zhu Yijun got married, no one has said that the emperor's children did not die in front of her eyes-now looking back When you think about it, it's a miracle!
In this world, even if you are the emperor's family, whether the child can be brought up depends entirely on the destiny: the mortality rate of infants and young children is extremely high - Zhu Yijun once arranged for the medical school to do statistics, and the death of a one-year-old child in the capital area in the tenth year of Wanli The rate reached one-sixth, which is the result of a lot of science popularization conducted by the medical school in the capital; at the same time, a sample survey showed that in the 40 years from the 20th year of Jiajing to the ninth year of Wanli, the people in the capital could grow up healthy and grow up to 20 years old. Less than [-]% of children aged [-]--the non-Beijing areas where medicine is even more backward will only be lower.

The reason is nothing more than a large number of "hygiene" problems such as unprofessional delivery process and incomplete disinfection.When a baby is born, only one "tetanus" is sad. At this time, there is a folk saying that "seven days of wind, eight days of throwing", this is only the first calamity that these little lives need to survive.

Infectious diseases are even bigger killers, such as whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever, pneumonia, typhoid, and even colds and fevers. Any disease can be fatal to infants with weak resistance.The backwardness of medical care and medicine made the people of the time carry out superstitions in the process of giving birth. Witch doctors, gods and other popular ways are also doing evil. It is also inevitable in the inner palace. Zhuang Jingjia gave birth to his daughter Shihanshan monk. .

There is also a very important one, that is, women at this time give birth prematurely.

After Zhu Yijun fell off the horse, in order to make her sudden death, Empress Zhuang could legally control the political power and continue the reform plan, so she was pregnant and gave birth. At that time, she was actually sweating.

Fortunately, he came from a later life and knew some knowledge about pregnancy and infants by ear, so that the medical school made careful preparations; and he did not choose a poor family during the draft, and these harem women never lacked nutrition and were relatively healthy; , the concubines in the harem also surpassed it-this created the miracle that no child died.

King Lu reminded that Empress Dowager Li recited Amitabha Buddha in surprise, and prayed to the sky with her hands folded: "It's all the blessing of the Buddha." After thinking about it, she sighed, "Actually, there is an older brother in front of your royal brother, but unfortunately he Raised to the age of six - it seems that your royal brother's blessing is really great."

Before he finished speaking, the inner guard at the door came in to report: "The Empress Dowager, the emperor has come to greet you." Zhu Yiliu heard this, and hurriedly stood up from his chair, seeing the palace servants open the bead curtain, and the emperor came in in his uniform.

Seeing that Zhu Yiliu was here, Zhu Yijun didn't think it was different, and laughed loudly: "Why are you here today? Didn't you go to the horse race to listen to the book?"

Empress Dowager Li nodded in return and smiled: "Our mothers are saying that the emperor is a blessed person, so you are here."

King Lu knelt down and saluted: "If you go back to the emperor, the younger brother beat up the housekeeper of Uncle Wuqing's mansion today, and came to apologize to the mother."

Seeing him salute, Zhu Yijun hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Don't be restrained, just sit down and talk. Who do you think you hit?"

Seeing the question, Zhu Yiliu explained the ins and outs again.Finally, he said: "This Li An is using the banner of Uncle Wuqing's mansion to make a fortune, and he has to take the shop by force. It's really a shame for the uncle's family. This small broken teahouse can be worth a few dragons, so it's worth being this fellow to make trouble. ?"

Empress Dowager Li didn't want the emperor to know about the bad things about her mother's family. I didn't expect that when King Lu met his brother, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. The second son is too cowardly.

After listening to it with a smile, Zhu Yijun said to King Lu, "You handled it very well, you are brave and resourceful." After speaking, he looked him up and down and said, "Well, after becoming a father, you look like a man."

When King Lu heard this, he felt that a wave of heat was only reaching the sky, and he wished that he could go to the street again to be chivalrous and righteous, and help his brother to eradicate the injustices in the world.The mouth grinned to the ear and said, "Then brother will go to Uncle Wuqing's mansion in a while, and then talk to the uncles."

Zhu Yijun glanced at Empress Dowager Li, smiled and said, "No need, when Mrs. Wu Qing goes to the palace to greet her, let the empress remind his family. You can't be addicted to slaps in the face, after all, it is our grandfather's house." King Lu listened. Embarrassed, she took out her flattering face and smiled dryly at Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li gave him a sideways glance.

Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment, smiled at Empress Dowager Li, and said, "There are fewer clans and honorable officials who dare to forcibly seize business, but it is not impossible. It is difficult to stop it. If these tyrannical slaves in the uncle's family do not restrain themselves, their son will inevitably take it. His family is arrogant, and he asks his mother to be stricter."

Empress Dowager Li was panicked by the emperor's two words. She secretly hated her brother's failure to live up to his expectations, and at the same time, she was also a little resentful towards the emperor, so she responded lightly on the face, but she was secretly ruthless in her heart, ready to come to Uncle Wuqing's mansion. A big embarrassment.

Zhu Yijun finished his sentence, and then changed the subject: "What did the queen mother and King Lu say? How can you say that your son is blessed?"

King Lu didn't dare to say these words - he was afraid of the good spirits but not the bad spirits. Don't say these words, the prince and the princess will die prematurely, and the emperor can't help but take out his anger.Seeing that he was silent, Empress Dowager Li said that the princes and princesses were all healthy and safe.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "Actually, it's not complicated, it's all about things and hygiene. If all is done, the infant mortality rate can be reduced. Last year, the one-year-old infant mortality rate in the capital has dropped to ten percent. One, the capital alone will increase the population by [-]."

After finishing speaking, he laughed again: "Princess Shouyang was in charge of the Wang family of Zhongxing County at the time, and it was time for weddings, and the queen mother was still in a hurry. Now that she has given birth safely, how wonderful! The girl is really young, and she is really not suitable for childbearing. But if The first child has passed through, and thereafter rebirths, even continuous births, are good for both mother and child. Therefore, delaying marriage for a few years and allowing men and women to grow up is indeed conducive to population reproduction.”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li squinted at the emperor and scolded with a smile: "Who do you think is connected?"

Zhu Yijun smiled and apologized - Empress Dowager Li was the most able to give birth among Mu Zong's concubines, except for the first child who was not raised, and after Zhu Yijun was born, she gave birth to four consecutive children, which made great contributions to Mu Zong's establishment of the reserve.Now, except for Princess Yanqing, who was born to Concubine Mu Zongshu's Concubine Qin, the other five brothers and sisters who are on the same level as Zhu Yijun are all surrounded by Queen Mother Li alone.

After laughing for a while, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "When Sister Shouyang got married, there were still rumors among the people. I don't know how ugly she is. She hasn't married yet at eighteen. Now that Sister Yongning is here, I have to take care of it this year and then do it for the people. For example, from now on, women will not be allowed to marry under the age of [-], and men under the age of eighteen will not be allowed to marry wives—this is also a matter of immeasurable merit.”

Speaking of merit, Empress Dowager Li, who believed in Buddhism, recited a sentence of Buddha.Immediately, she smiled and said, "The emperor takes it for granted. If the family is rich, it would be better. Whoever wants to let the girl eat for free for four or five years from a poor family will feed it to her in-law's family!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun frowned and nodded and said, "The queen mother said that the imperial court will increase publicity in the past two years, and then legislate, that early marriages will all be fined heavily, and this matter must be turned around."

Speaking of the princess, Empress Dowager Li said: "The emperor is really cruel, Princess Leping's newly married Yan'er, you let the concubine Xu Guangqi go [-] miles, now two and a half years later, you can't be a grandmother after your mother, she has two mothers. Don't blame you?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun touched his nose and said, "There is a light report from Guangzhou again, and the ship sent by Xu Guangqi has also arrived, saying that he brought back several ships - he should return in the next year at the latest."
