Volume 1: Birth! Seven time travelers Chapter 003 Everyone is a Drama Queen
"Just touch it, kiss you MMP!"
Wang Dong felt nauseous as he looked at Wanli's bearded mouth, which had a bit of bad breath due to the lack of toothpaste and toothbrush of later generations, approaching his tender face.
Hey, hey, hey, as a doctor, I always have a tolerant and understanding attitude towards the various hobbies of ordinary people. But I still only like girls. How can you, a man in his thirties, kiss me? Although my body is that of a newborn, my soul is that of an adult male!
Unfortunately, no matter how Wang Dong resisted in his heart, he was too weak to resist Wanli's lips. So, when he came to this world, the first kiss of this new body was taken away by Wanli helplessly.
Well, luckily the ancestor said that as long as this body is not killed, it can live for a hundred years without any disease or disaster. Otherwise, just based on this kiss, I might have died at birth!
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except for Taizu, Chengzu, and Sizong, did not look like emperors. Instead, they were more like ordinary people, often showing their true feelings.
Wanli looked at the baby in his arms and loved him from the bottom of his heart.
On the one hand, this was his first grandson. He had just become a grandfather, and his joy was spontaneous and irrepressible.
On the other hand, holding the newborn in his arms, and looking at his eldest son who looked terrified and displeased no matter how he looked at him, Wanli couldn't help but think of another group of three grandparents and grandchildren from his own family.
Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di, Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi, and Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji.
Chengzu was a wise and brave man. He used a city to seize the world from the eldest son to the fourth son. What a hero he was? Unfortunately, he gave birth to an eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, who was as fat as a pig, slow in movement, kind-hearted and a little weak. It is said that Chengzu did not like Renzong at that time, and preferred the third son who was strong and skilled in martial arts. But after seeing the smart Xuanzong, he changed his mind...
Now, although my military achievements are not as good as Chengzu's five expeditions to the desert, I have also quelled the rebellions in Bozhou and Ningxia. The Japanese invaded Korea and were also defeated by me. In the future, although I will definitely not be given the temple name "Zu", this posthumous title should not be bad, right? And what about Chang Luo, the child? Well, he was born to a palace maid and has a weak personality, but he should be a benevolent monarch when he succeeds to the throne in the future, right?
Therefore, this baby in swaddling clothes, who had such a strong aura of heaven and earth when he was born, his future achievements should at least be as good as Emperor Xuanzong Zhang, right?
Forget it, this dispute over the foundation of the country not only failed to divide the officials, but also made the officials form a whole party because of this matter. It's just that I couldn't bear it and couldn't find a way out, so I insisted on it... This time, maybe it's a good opportunity.
"Chen Ju..."
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"I remember that when Taizu was born, an immortal gave him elixir and the room was filled with red light, right?"
"Your Majesty has a photographic memory , and I admire you deeply."
"Very good. Write down the strange phenomena of heaven and earth when the emperor's eldest grandson was born today in the imperial newspaper and spread it to the whole country!"
"As you wish."
"Hmm~~ I still remember that the generation below Chang is called You, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Gao Zhanqi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Changyou. Kind and harmonious, brother and brother, Jian Jingdi Xianyou. These twenty generations were bestowed by the Great Ancestor on the Chengzu family. Below the Chang generation is the You generation. According to the Five Elements Principle, the Emperor is the gold radical, the eldest son is the water radical, and when it comes to the eldest grandson, it should be the wood radical."
"Good! Our four branches, starting from Emperor Chengzu, now have the eleventh generation of descendants. My son."
"Father, I am here."
"I will name this child Zhu Youdong! When he reaches the age of enlightenment, I will take him into the palace to educate him personally. I hope he will become a pillar of my Zhu family soon!"
"Your Majesty, I obey your order. Thank you for giving me this name!"
Two days later, Wanli, who had not attended court for more than ten years, announced the convening of a grand court meeting. All the ministers were extremely excited. They were eager to write down memorials in various fonts, some of which were fierce, some were earnest, some were earnest, some were sincere, and some were affectionate and tactful, asking for the prince to be appointed as soon as possible.
However……
The ministers stood still, and after three whip blasts, an eunuch stepped out and opened a scroll of imperial edict:
"The imperial edict says: The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine Guo, gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor on October 18, the 28th year of the Wanli reign. The emperor gave him the name Zhu Youdong.
The eldest son of the Emperor, Zhu Changluo, is gentle, modest, and prudent in his words and deeds... He is very similar to me and can inherit the ancestral temple and be made the Crown Prince. Announce this to the whole world so that everyone can know.
The eldest grandson of the Emperor, Zhu Youdong... the blue dragon appeared, the white crane guarded him... he was made the crown prince. The announcement was made to the whole country, so that everyone would know.
The eldest prince of the emperor selected Guo, who was dignified, virtuous, gentle, respectful, and kind, with a gentle and kind character, and was made the crown princess..."
"Your Highness, I congratulate you on the great Ming Dynasty's stabilization and the birth of your eldest grandson. Long live your emperor!"
…
And in the east of Japan, on October 25th, in Gifu Castle, Mino Province.
"What did you say? Father actually named his newborn ninth brother Takechiyo?"
"Haha, I have checked it over and over again, and it is indeed correct."
"Is this... Father blaming me? Is he asking me to commit suicide?"
The one trembling here is Tokugawa Ieyasu's third son, Tokugawa Hidetada, whose status as heir has now been clearly identified by the Tokugawa family.
Why would the childhood name of Takechiyo cause such a stir in the hearts of the masters and retainers of the Tokugawa family?
Because this name is really unusual.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's father, Matsudaira Hirotada, was named Takechiyo when he was a child. Tokugawa Ieyasu himself was also named Takechiyo when he was a child. Tokugawa Ieyasu's eldest son, Nobuyasu, was also named Takechiyo when he was a child. After Nobuyasu was forced to commit suicide by Oda Nobunaga, his third son, whose original name was Nagamatsumaru, was renamed Takechiyo - this was later Tokugawa Hidetada.
After Ieyasu's eldest son was forced to commit suicide, Ieyasu gave the name Takechiyo to his third son instead of his second son, which immediately made it clear to his retainers who they should be loyal to. Therefore, the name Takechiyo is the exclusive name of the heir of the Tokugawa family.
Now, Ieyasu named his ninth son Takechiyo. This made the third son Hidetada feel extremely uneasy: in the Battle of Sekigahara not long ago, the 30,000 troops he led were manipulated by the Western Army's Sanada Masayuki with more than a thousand troops, which seriously delayed the journey and ultimately missed the decisive battle. Ieyasu had to rely on the enemy's disunity and the allies' hard work in the war, which could have been won by him. As a result had to increase the rewards for allies and opponents who turned against him after the war, which greatly reduced the scope of the Tokugawa family's fiefdom expansion. This alone was enough for Ieyasu to commit seppuku.
"My lord, I have heard some news."
"……explain."
"It is said that before the Ninth Prince was born, a huge phantom of a fully armored warrior appeared in the sky and claimed to be Takeha Susanoo no Mikoto (Susanoo), and was ordered by Amaterasu to guard the Ninth Prince until his birth."
"What did you say? How is this possible?"
"My lord, I didn't believe it when I first heard it. But everyone in Edo City spread it by word of mouth, and the palace also knew about it."
"Is that so? Haha, it seems that I have to hurry up and arrange my funeral affairs."
…
In the Indochina Peninsula, a child standing on a lotus suddenly appeared in the sky. The child pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other. He said: "I am the only one who is supreme in the world."
In the southern part of the Indian peninsula, the three gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva appeared.
In Western Europe, in the holy light, the six-winged archangel Michael, holding a holy sword, stood solemnly in the air, watching the holy light enter the body of a pregnant woman.
Over the Dardanelles...
All the main gods, in order to ensure that their representatives would be recognized by the world as soon as possible, made every effort to create fanfare and perform miracles for their birth!
