Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 647 Good News Arrives in Beijing, After Mrs. Zhang, My Great Ming Double Happiness Comes!

Zhu Qiqi nodded, leaned on Zhang Haogu and closed her eyes to rest, holding Zhang Haogu's big hand tightly with her small hands, as if she was afraid that her husband would disappear again in her sleep.

Looking at Zhu Qiqi's expression, Zhang Haogu felt even more guilty.

It is said that state affairs are the most important, state affairs are the most important, and a man is his home everywhere, but which man does not have a soft place in his heart, but whoever has a heart, who can not miss his family?
He usually faces the court officials and subordinates, he is the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty, he must be calm and steady, no matter how dangerous the situation is, he will not change his face, but how can he not miss Zhu Qiqi in his heart?
Self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

The Qi family is still before governing the country and the world.
Holding Zhu Qiqi's hand, watching Zhu Qiqi fall asleep, Zhang Haogu also showed a rare tired posture, leaning on the edge of the bed and slowly closing his eyes to take a nap, these few days, he wants to accompany his lady.

The peaceful time lasted only one night. On the first day Zhang Haogu was given a holiday by Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Qiqi was still chatting and laughing with Zhang Haogu just now, when suddenly a pained expression appeared on his face, and then Beads of sweat appeared on that white and tender forehead, Zhang Haogu immediately asked the imperial physician and midwife to come in, sure enough, Zhu Qiqi was about to give birth!
It was the first time in two lives that Zhang Haogu had no experience in giving birth to a child, so he could only watch the midwife guiding Zhu Qiqi.

Originally, Zhang Haogu wanted to go in to accompany Zhu Qiqi, at least to be by her side, and Zhu Qiqi would feel at ease, but the midwife refused Zhang Haogu because it was "unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room".

On the matter of giving birth, Zhang Haogu, who had no right to speak at all, had to wait anxiously outside the door. Although it was feudal superstition to say what the midwife said, he couldn't explain how he got here. , he would rather believe in some feudal superstitions.

Zhu Qiqi was in the delivery room, and Zhang Haogu could only listen to her cries of pain while pacing outside. At this time, Zhang Haogu really hoped that if there were gods and Buddhas in the sky, they could bless Zhu Qiqi and the child safely. .

Zhu Qiqi's painful cries kept coming, Zhang Haogu frowned, and clenched his fists involuntarily, suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps, Zhang Haogu looked up, it was Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu Yan is here.

"I heard that the righteous sister is going to give birth?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Zhang Haogu nodded: "He has already entered the delivery room."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help frowning when he heard the painful cry: "What's the situation?"

Zhang Yan looked at the two big men anxiously, and said, "I'll go in and have a look."

After saying that, Zhang Yan went directly into the delivery room. She is a woman and has experience in childbirth. Right now, Zhang Haogu can only hope that Zhang Yan can bring Zhu Qiqi some comfort and encouragement.

In the delivery room, Zhu Qiqi's pained voice never stopped. The voice made Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao outside couldn't help arousing his heart. Looking at Zhang Haogu's frowning brows, Zhu Youxiao didn't know what to do. How to comfort him.

Suddenly, Zhu Qiqi's painful voice weakened, and then there was a panic in the delivery room. Zhang Haogu couldn't help but feel his heart throbbing when he heard the chaotic movement inside, something was wrong!
Sure enough, an imperial doctor came out in a hurry, saw Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Yuanfu!"

Zhu Youxiao asked, "What's going on inside?"

The imperial doctor was a little embarrassed: "Your majesty, your righteous sister is currently having a difficult labor."

Hearing about dystocia, Zhang Haogu seemed to be stunned by a thunderstorm, his whole head was buzzing, dystocia?
How can it be? !
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking, "What's going on?!"

The imperial physician was frightened, and he explained: "Your Majesty, although your righteous sister is in good health, she is thin and weak, with small bones. Now"

Zhang Haogu understood that Zhu Qiqi's health is fine, but his pelvis is narrow, and now he is well-clothed and well-fed by the court physician, eating well and the fetus absorbs enough nutrients, which makes it difficult for the baby to come out when he grows up.

This nutrition is too good to be a problem!

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Haogu who was on the side, and ordered: "I don't care what method you use, I want to see that my righteous sister and children are safe. If you are done, I will not treat you badly!"

The imperial physician had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I will do my best."

When the imperial doctor returned to the delivery room, he immediately got busy, bringing in pots of hot water, and then bringing out pots of bloody water. Seeing Zhu Qiqi's voice getting weaker and weaker, Zhang Haogu couldn't bear to rush He entered the delivery room, but he was blocked by Zhang Yan: "We are busy inside, everyone is anxious, you are here now, don't go in, don't disturb Qiqi."

Zhang Haogu had no choice but to continue to wait outside the delivery room, listening to the sometimes sharp and sometimes weak voice inside, his heart also fluctuated.

Zhu Youxiao grabbed Zhang Haogu's hand at this time: "Master, don't worry, the righteous sister and the child will be safe and sound."

Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Youxiao and nodded heavily: "Yes."

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Zhang Haogu prayed silently: God, since you let me come here, you also bless my wife, my children, and keep them safe.

In the palace, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu waited anxiously outside the delivery room. In the delivery room, Zhu Qiqi's voice was exhausted and hoarse. It had been two hours and Zhu Qiqi had lost all strength, but the child never came out. Zhang Yan couldn't help frowning.

The sky is getting darker, the spring rain season, the rain comes in such a hurry, I don't know when it has started to drizzle, Eunuch Wei hurriedly asked the little eunuch to bring oiled paper umbrellas for Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, and Zhang Haogu Looking at the rain, Gu felt more and more uncertain.

God, what does this sudden rain mean? !

In the city of Beijing, because of the sudden drizzle, pedestrians hurried to the nearest shops to take shelter. As the saying goes, there will be no sunshine for three days in spring. The sudden drizzle made pedestrians talk about the hottest topic recently. battle.

The common people were drinking tea and eating snacks in taverns and teahouses, their eyebrows were beaming, and they described the battle on the grassland vividly, as if they had personally experienced it:
"You don't know that General Cao led an army of [-] to fight against Huang Taiji on the grassland for three days. Huang Taiji attacked desperately, but he couldn't move an inch, and General Cao forcibly defended him."

"For three days, for three full days, Huang Taiji's [-] troops fought day and night without sleep, but General Cao stood still, letting him be blown by the wind and rain, and defended without leaking. The Tartars didn't take advantage of it."

"At this time, General Zhou's reinforcements arrived. General Cao and General Zhou joined forces to fight Huang Taiji! This battle was fought in darkness, and the sun and moon were dark. Our Daming Shenji Battalion fired all kinds of artillery, and the rockets were like rockets. Meteors fell to the ground endlessly, and the Tartars who hit them lost their helmets and armor, and their livers and gallbladders were torn."

"General Cao took the opportunity to dispatch iron cavalry. I, Da Ming's [-] iron cavalry rampaged, and chased Huang Taiji's [-] troops across the grassland for thousands of miles!"

At this time, someone couldn't help but ask: "Has been chased for thousands of miles? Can the horse bear it?"

The face of the storyteller froze, how could there be a real master here?
Just thinking about how to go around, I heard the sound of horseshoes outside. The sound of horseshoes was very clear on the stone road. The red flag and the army horse under the crotch, this is an urgent report from the border!
Sure enough, only the flying cavalry shouted loudly: "Great victory! Great victory!"

"Sai Khan Mountain Victory!"

"General Zhou chased the Tartars for eight hundred miles, and defeated Huang Taiji and Saihan Mountain!"

"Sai Khan Mountain Victory!"

Hearing that it was another great victory, the crowd in the teahouse couldn't help clapping their hands and applauding immediately: "Okay! Another victory!"

"The imperial court has won another battle!"

"Okay, okay, Master Daming is mighty!"

The storyteller also cheered up: "Have you heard the good news?"

"General Zhou personally led the iron cavalry to chase the Tartar chief Huang Taiji across the grassland for eight hundred miles. This is chasing death and chasing the north. Wei Qinghuo Qubing in the Han Dynasty was nothing more than that."

When the crowd heard the great victory, they also believed in the storyteller's words. A man who was not short of money asked the waiter to serve him good tea and said, "Mr. Zhou, you continue to talk, everyone is listening."

The onlookers nodded one after another: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, please continue."

The gentleman surnamed Zhou was drinking his good tea triumphantly. Now that he is making up stories, he is confident. He has already told about the great victory, so is it false?

After the good news arrived at the cabinet, the cabinet ministers who were dealing with government affairs were stunned.

Huang Liji was a little unbelievable: "Another great victory, another victory?"

Zhang Ruitu, the second assistant to the cabinet, peeled off the sealant and looked at the good news. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahahaha! General Zhaoyi Zhou Yuji led my iron cavalry from the Fifth Ming Army Battalion to chase Huang Taiji for eight hundred miles, and defeated Huang Taiji at the foot of Saihan Mountain. Huang Taiji Once again, the soldiers were lost and returned to Liaodong, Dorgon was seriously injured, Duoduo was shot in the thigh, Huang Taiji himself was shot by an arrow, and the Tartars will not last long!"

"Now all the ministries of the grassland have come forward to proclaim their ministers, expressing their willingness to be Hanchen's concubine!"

Hearing this good news, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing loudly: "Good, good! God bless me, Daming!"

"Ride across the vast desert, chasing death to the north, what a hero!"

Zhang Ruitu put away the good news: "This pavilion is going to tell the emperor and Yuanfu the news, everyone, this pavilion is going to go first."

At this time, Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao, who had no idea that the good news had arrived in Beijing, were still waiting for the news from the delivery room. As Zhu Qiqi's voice became weaker and weaker, Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao's hearts also rushed Mentioned throat.

Finally, with a sharp cry, a moment later, the child's loud cry sounded, Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial physicians and midwives in the delivery room also breathed a sigh of relief. Those who took care of the children took care of the children, and those who took care of the mothers took care of the mothers. One of the imperial physicians hurried out to report: "Your Majesty, Yuansuke, luckily you did not disgrace your life. Mother and child are safe."

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, rewards! All rewards!"

Listening to "Mother and child are safe", Zhang Haogu's tense spirit completely relaxed, and the smile on his face could not be stopped. First, he gave Zhu Youxiao a big hug, and then he threw the umbrella away regardless of the rain. The eunuch at the side hurried into the room, looked at Zhu Qiqi who was covered in sweat and pale as paper, couldn't help but stepped forward and held her hand tightly: "Thank you, ma'am."

Zhu Youxiao also walked in, and Zhang Yan, who was also tired, took a sip of tea: "Fortunately, mother and child are safe."

Zhu Youxiao looked at the righteous sister on the bed and Zhang Haogu in front of the bed and heaved a sigh of relief: "Yes, it's a good thing."

At this time, Zhang Ruitu hurried over: "Your Majesty, great victory, great victory!"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, another great victory?

Hurriedly walking out of the delivery room, seeing the good news that Zhang Ruitu handed over and opening it, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing and said: "Double happiness is coming, double happiness is coming, God bless me!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhang Ruitu looked at Eunuch Wei next to him. Eunuch Wei smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Cifu, just now, the emperor's righteous sister gave birth to Master Zhang's son, mother and child are safe."

Zhang Ruitu also smiled when he heard it: "Sure enough, double happiness is coming, double happiness is coming."

Just as we were talking, the rain stopped, and the sky was clear after the rain. Seeing the sun shining down again, the eunuchs also cheered and said: "The rain has stopped, the rain has stopped."

Hearing the sound of joy outside, Zhu Qiqi said: "Husband, my concubine is tired."

Zhang Haogu quickly said: "Madam, rest well, I will stay here with Madam as my husband."

Zhu Qiqi shook his head: "There are so many joyous voices outside, it seems that the court has won the battle again, Husband, you should go and have a look quickly, the concubine should just sleep for a while."

Zhang Haogu had no choice but to ask the midwives to take good care of Zhu Qiqi, and then walked out of the delivery room. Can't help smiling.

At this time Zhu Youxiao stepped forward quickly: "Master, we have won again!"

"At the foot of Saihan Mountain, Zhou Yuji used [-] cavalry to fight against Huang Taiji's [-] men, a big victory!"

"Now these two thousand miles of Chahar Grassland belong to me, Da Ming!"

Zhang Haogu also smiled: "Okay, okay!"

Zhu Youxiao took the opportunity to say again: "Master, look, the righteous sister gave birth to Lin'er for you today, and the mother and child are safe. My Ming defeated Huang Taiji again on the grassland, and the Chahar grassland belongs to my Daming."

"This can be described as double happiness!"

"Looking at the clear sky, it can be said that it is the blessing of the heavens, and protect the safety of the righteous sister, mother and child."

"I plan to name Master your son Zhang Chengen, what do you think?"

Zhang Chengen?
Zhang Cheng'en?
Wu Chengen? !

For some reason, Zhang Haogu suddenly thought of it in his mind: Hello everyone, I am practicing for a long time.
wrong!

Shaking his head, another classic figure appeared in Zhang Haogu's head, saying some obscure words such as the combination of things, up and down, and north and south.

This made Zhang Haogu quickly dispel the random thoughts in his head.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Chengen, I agree, but I want to change the word."

Hearing Zhang Haogu's words, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Which word?"

Zhang Haogu laughed and said:
"Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is strong and the people are rich, and Liaodong and Monan have won consecutive victories with troops. Not only is the imperial treasury abundant, the people live and work in peace and contentment, but they have also won repeated battles abroad."

"It's his luck that the minister's child was born in such a prosperous age. In the words of the emperor, it is not an exaggeration to say that God blesses you."

"Fortune from heaven, the so-called grace, why not call him Zhang Chengze, let him know that he was born under the auspiciousness of the apocalypse dynasty, and remember the kindness of the predecessors, but when the blessings of the ancestors are exhausted, I hope he can Stay true to your heart, be honest and loyal, serve the country with loyalty and filial piety, and just don’t become the heirs of those nobles.”

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Chengze, Chengze, good."

"What Master said is true. When the blessings of the ancestors are exhausted, in the end, the fame and fortune still have to be obtained by oneself. Zhang Chengze, okay, let's call it this name!"

"Come here, pass the decree, make Zhang Chengze, the son of the Duke of Liao, the crown prince, give him the title of riding captain Xiao, enter the Imperial Academy at the age of five, and serve as the prince's best man and attendant."

Good guy, he was awarded the honor of the fifth-rank Xiaoqiwei when he was born, and he was appointed as the son, and he started to study with the servant at the age of five. What kind of favor is this? !

Zhang Haogu had no choice but to thank him, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the newborn child is so favored, is it over?"

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "It's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration, I still feel lighter."

"I once said that if the righteous sister gave birth to a son, let the prince and your child study together and become brothers when they grow up; Zhengfei."

"At the moment, it's just my uncle giving a little reward to my nephew, what's going on?"

What else can Zhang Haogu say, so he can only thank you.

Two days later, Zhu Qiqi was sitting on the bed, leaning on the cushion at the head of the bed, holding the sleeping child in her arms, her new mother's face was full of love.

Zhang Haogu watched this scene quietly, with a smile on his mouth, such a leisurely and happy time for the whole family is really rare.

Zhu Youxiao gave him a vacation these few days, and he felt uncomfortable when he had a rare leisure time. Without a lot of government affairs, he even felt uncomfortable, which made Zhang Haogu laugh secretly that he was a hard worker with too much time to spare. .

"Master, Master and Madam learned that Mrs. Young was born, so they insisted on coming to Beijing to take a look." Zhang An approached Zhang Haogu and said.

Zhang Haogu nodded, he would definitely tell his family about Zhu Qiqi's labor, it was impossible to keep it a secret, and now that the old man and the old lady were coming, it was reasonable.

But Zhang Haogu didn't want to see too many people congratulating him. Are those people really happy that he has a queen?
Don't you want to take advantage of his good mood to get a job or get promoted?
So Zhang Haogu said: "Just let the master and the old lady come, don't let too many people come, the lady has just given birth and needs to rest quietly."

Zhang An chuckled: "Young master, don't worry."

In the past two days, all the officials of the capital came to congratulate him. Even Wang Wenyan from Jiangnan, Yuan Chonghuan from Liaonan, and Shi Kefa from Ganshan all sent him private messages wishing Zhang Haogu a son.

This is just childbirth, and when the hundred days come, I am afraid that all the officials will come to the banquet, and the scale of this hundred-day banquet should not be small, even if one item advocates frugality, Zhang Haogu knows that this time frugality will not be possible.

Not only is it impossible for Zhu Youxiao to make him frugal, but it is also difficult to be frugal because of the number of people who come here.

And the house provided by the imperial court is obviously not able to accommodate so many people. After all, a house of [-] square meters cannot accommodate hundreds of officials in the capital even including the courtyard.

Zhang Haogu has already begun to think about whether to ask Zhu Youxiao to borrow a garden. After all, the emperor has a lot of homes, so he will hold a hundred-day banquet at that time, and see what his son will catch in the lottery.
