my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 283 Double Happiness

Chapter 283 Double Happiness

Zhang Anshi heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard the words "Mother and Daughter Safe".

However, Imperial Physician Xu has skillfully wrapped the child with the cloth that had been prepared, and after wrapping it tightly, he began to finish it.

The child was still young and was still making whining noises.

The voice is very small, obviously... because of the lack of months, the cardiopulmonary function is weak.

Therefore, although it was born, in fact... the mortality rate in this era is also terribly high.

In this era, giving birth to a child is like taking a trip through the gates of hell, not to mention a body like Queen Xu's.He only glanced at the child, probably extremely tired, and immediately fell asleep.

Zhang Anshi came out from behind the screen.

Seeing that Zhu Di was holding the tiny child, he looked very cautious.

Zhang Anshi said: "Give the child a bath first, and then look at the situation. Oh, yes, I will wipe the blood with alcohol later. Has the umbilical cord been cut?"

He started talking a series of times, and then began to look at the child.

It was very small, ugly, dying, and its eyes could not be opened, so it seemed that it was not even breathing.

However, it seems to be breathing well.

However, she was still whimpering.

Zhang Anshi immediately wanted to take over the child from Zhu Di, but Zhu Di was a little bit unwilling.

He lowered his head and looked at the child with pity, as if he was looking at some precious treasure, and he was filled with emotion for a moment: "His mother, this child is really troublesome."

These words were rough, but Zhu Di's voice was relaxed and somewhat nervous.

Seeing that Zhang Anshi raised his hand for a long time, he wanted to carry the child over, before handing it over to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi took the child out of the swaddle, gently dragged her feet, and hung her upside down in the air with his backhand.

Zhu Di was about to suffocate seeing people, and opened his eyes involuntarily.

And the child continued to cry, crying, and his voice seemed to be louder.

Zhang Anshi explained: "This is because I am worried that the amniotic fluid is still in her mouth, so don't swallow it.

As he spoke, he spread the child on a warm towel and asked Mrs. Xu to wipe it gently with alcohol.

Doctor Xu reported: "There is a piece of damage on the skin on the neck, which should be caused by the forceps. The breathing...is still normal."

After a while, he said again: "There are 97 heartbeats."

"Test it again." Zhang Anshi said.

It's still a bit low, but...it's obviously more normal than the previous fetal heart rate.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, this child has a big life. If it is a few days later, it may be..."

This is also true. Although the medicine Zhang Anshi prescribed is an oxytocin, it is not an oxytocin injection for later generations. The efficacy of this medicine depends entirely on fate. Alive.

Fortunately, the oxytocin medicine is effective, and... Dr. Xu's skills are very good. When he used forceps to assist the delivery, he quickly clamped the baby out.

Here, if there is a slight mistake, the child will definitely be lost.

Doctor Xu continued the test cautiously: "One hundred and one."

Zhang Anshi finally let out a long breath of relief.

But Zhu Di became worried: "How, how?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...it should be safe, but...the child is still young, so he needs to take good care of it right now, otherwise...if there is a slight mistake, I'm afraid..."

Zhu Di's face softened slightly: "Don't worry, I will make people..."

Zhang Anshi shook his head, frowned lightly and said: "It's better not to let other people take care of you at will. You have to let Imperial Physician Xu and a few old mothers take care of everything according to the rules here. This child... I'm afraid it will be temporarily Live here."

Zhu Di asked in surprise, "Here?"

"Yes." Zhang Anshi said: "If you live here for a month, if you don't have any problems, then you should be fine. The child's care is the top priority, and nothing can go wrong."

Zhu Di nodded: "It's all up to you, Xu Qing's family."

Doctor Xu, who was named, said in fear, "I... I am here..."

"You're not bad." Zhu Di said, "You're a person who is willing to put his life on the line, and you owe a lot to this child's survival."

Imperial Physician Xu felt like he was on a roller coaster, hurriedly said: "I... I am so ashamed."

Zhu Di no longer had the intention to speak, and all his eyes fell on the child.

After a long time, it was finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the child. After staying here for a while, Empress Xu finally woke up.

Empress Xu only felt that she woke up from dizziness and felt weak all over.

This kind of dizziness has never been seen before. It's not the kind of falling asleep, but it's as if I've been fragmented all of a sudden. I can't recall a memory just now.

But out of mother's instinct, Empress Xu subconsciously said: "My child... is the child safe?"

Zhu Di changed into a gentle expression on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's safe now, come, Zhang Anshi, bring the child to the queen to see."

Zhang Anshi had already wrapped up the child, held it gently, and sent it to Empress Xu.

Empress Xu was originally worried, but at this moment, she suddenly burst into tears.

She gently stretched out her hand, lifted a corner of the swaddle, and after looking at it, she said, "Okay, okay, okay... that's great..."

She kept nodding her head and said: "It's all thanks to Zhang Qing's family, Your Majesty... Without An Shi, this child... must be in danger. He not only saved the child's life, but also the life of the concubine, and also the life of the concubine." saved by him."

Zhu Di hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes, of course I know."

Empress Xu looked at Zhang Anshi at this moment, with gratitude in her eyes, and said, "Anshi, you have worked hard these few days."

Zhang Anshi grinned and said, "It's not hard work, it's not hard work. At this time, Madam, it's better to rest more, don't worry about it, first take care of your body, wait for ten days and a half months, when your body recovers, you'll be fine." gone."

Empress Xu nodded and said: "In any case, at least for now, I feel at ease. I am indeed tired and want to take a rest."

Zhang Anshi then said: "Drink some soup before resting. Doctor Xu...go, go..."

After hearing this, Imperial Physician Xu hurried away.

At this time, there were a few nurses and nurses who had been carefully selected. They all took a bath and wiped their bodies with alcohol before they were allowed to come in. At this time, they were busy.

Zhang Anshi felt tired.

After Zhu Di came out of the delivery room, many people were still anxiously waiting outside.

Zhu Gaochi paced back and forth, because they were outside, and the child's crying was so weak that it could not be heard outside.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel worried after seeing no movement for so long.

Until Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi came out.

Zhu Gaochi stepped forward nervously and said: "Father..."

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi, showing approval: "Okay, don't worry, your mother and your sister are safe, thanks to Zhang Anshi, people say, marrying a wife and a virtuous person, you are good, married a virtuous wife, He also took care of a good brother-in-law."

After Zhu Gaochi heard it, he was overjoyed, but he is a dull person, speaking of high emotional intelligence, he is not good at words, and he didn't know how to respond at this time, so he kept nodding: "Yes, yes, it is something taught by the emperor."

"I'm not teaching you, I'm praising you." Zhu Di said: "Your mother will live here for a while, and your sister also needs to be raised here. It's inconvenient to see outsiders here. , now that you are relieved, then... you can go about your own business."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Yes."

Zhu Di walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, looked at Zhu Gaochi with a big belly, sighed and said, "I'm a little tired these days, and you will preside over tomorrow's court meeting."

"Ah..." Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Zhu Di fixedly.

In fact, Zhu Di had connived at the prince. For example, the money and food from the Ministry of Households, and the criminal name from the Ministry of Punishment, including the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, were all handed over to the prince.

I am also willing to let Zhu Gaochi participate in some political affairs.

This is relatively rare in other emperors.

In this aspect, Zhu Dinai immediately gained the world, and felt that he had enough prestige to hold the scene.

On the other hand, it is also that he really has no interest in tedious government affairs.

But now, even the court meeting is allowed to be presided over by the prince, which is obviously a bit too much.

This is not to tell the world clearly that the prince's position has been determined, and he may be the most powerful prince in the past few hundred years.

The status...can already be compared with Zhu Biao when Emperor Taizu was Gao.

When Emperor Taizu Gao was there, Zhu Biao, the prince, almost gained the full trust of Taizu. Not only did Emperor Taizu Gao condone Zhu Biao to build his own team, but he was also very happy to see Zhu Biao rule over all the civil and military officials.

This is why, as soon as Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang had to start major cases again and again, and had to eradicate a large number of heroes.

Because the prince Zhu Biao is here, Zhu Yuanzhang is confident that Zhu Biao can completely control them.

And once Zhu Biao is not around, these rebellious or extremely shrewd people cannot be controlled at all.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and said: "Apart from that...the affairs of the East Palace... the crown prince handles it himself, and he doesn't need to report everything. Only in this way can there be successors in the future."

He paused, and then said: "I think the crown prince is in poor health, and it is difficult for him to walk. In addition to presiding over the court, he will not have to come to the palace at other times. If there is any matter, he will deal with it in the East Palace. Among all the proposals, Hanlin must send a copy to the East Palace for review, if there is any conflict between these memorials and my Zhu Zhu, I shall prevail, but if I cannot approve in time, then the East Palace’s review shall be followed.”

Ever since Zhu Gaochi heard this and worshiped on the ground, he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow. This was tantamount to letting the East Palace open the mansion directly and have the power of a real prime minister.

The prime minister is not the prime minister. In ancient times, the prime minister was a real high-ranking and powerful person, because he directly established the government, appointed officials by himself, controlled the world's affairs, and could even compete with the imperial power.

This is why Emperor Taizu Gao deposed the prime minister.

How did Zhu Gaochi think that his father would have such trust in him? Even in the past dynasties, the power of prime minister would not be handed over to the crown prince. After all, the crown prince himself is a royal family and a legitimate heir. Has a double bonus of legitimacy and power.

"My son... I'm just afraid that I won't be able to do enough to live up to my father's entrustment..."

Zhu Di's face was gentle: "What are you talking about disappointing? If you are not strong enough, you should study hard and sharpen it, instead of talking about disappointing you. You are the crown prince, and the big responsibility will fall on you sooner or later. Could it be that at that time, you Can you still say that you are not strong enough?"

Zhu Di paused, then looked at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing's family..."

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister is here."

Zhu Di said: "You also add a general manager of Zhan Shifu. If you have any free time, you should go to Zhan Shifu to discuss politics. He is your brother-in-law. I know you have a deep friendship and help me."

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty..."

He wanted to shirk it, but seeing Zhu Di's stern face, Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "Yes, obey the order."

Zhu Di sighed, and said: "The remnants of the White Lotus Sect must be wiped out, and those backbones must be taken down, so don't slip through the net."

Zhang Anshi said: "I will do my best."

Zhu Di is in a good mood, and getting a daughter in old age is a happy event, but he hopes to have more sons. In this case, he will have another tool man, so that he can be thrown overseas in the future and teach himself to spread his branches and leaves.

Now that he has made up his mind to enshrine the princes based on the Zhou Dynasty and let the princes defend Daming, then...Zhu Di naturally hopes that the more offspring he can have, the better, and he can't let his brothers take all the cheap ones.

But the daughter is also very good, at least now that she is older, she has a little girl when she grows old, and it is a little more comforting to have a little girl by her side.

Especially Empress Xu, although she is not in good health, but judging by her complexion, she is much more energetic, and the mother and daughter are safe, which is a great joy.

He was alone, returning to Beijing alone, but his mother and daughter still had to be raised outside the palace, which didn't worry him, but he couldn't see each other day and night, and felt a little lonely after all.

Yi Shiha came to see Zhu Di in a hurry, expressed his joy, and said, "Your Majesty, Master Yao and Jin Butang are here."

Zhu Di took his seat and said, "Xuan come in."

Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong entered the hall, and after saluting, they congratulated each other.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that you came here. When I was furious, you didn't see a single ghost. Now, when I'm happy, the two Qings came out."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Amitabha... No, Your Majesty, this is just a chance meeting, this is a good fate."

Zhu Di smiled, which was his answer to these words.

After a pause, he said, "Has the news spread out?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "Yes, I have heard some rumors."

"What do you think?"

Yao Guangxiao had always known Zhu Di, and he knew what Zhu Di was going to talk about, so he said, "Your Majesty trusts the crown prince, there is nothing wrong with that. During the time of emperor Gao, crown prince Yiwen was also very wise. Today, crown prince and crown prince Yiwen are both It shouldn't be a problem for a benevolent person to open a mansion in the East Palace."

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao with a smile: "I don't want to hear your polite words."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Could it be that your majesty wants to see if the crown prince has the ability to be arbitrary?"

Zhu Di sighed and said, "It's not to test him, but to test other people."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty is so hardworking and hardworking, which is admirable."

Zhu Di shook his head: "What is there to admire? It's just that one thing after another made me realize that it's time to take a look at the many covers of my Ming Dynasty. Some people always say that it's rare to be confused, but I can't do it." Confused Son of Heaven."

"The matter of the White Lotus Sect... is the same, and the same is true for other matters. If I don't ask, the civil and military courts will treat these things as if they have never happened. My ministers, it seems that everyone is doing their best. You go to look at them, they are buried in their papers every day, and they are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground. But if you ask them what they have done, they can't say anything except citing scriptures and saying that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish coming."

After a while, Zhu Di went on to say: "The White Lotus Sect is more than just plotting evil. They fool the people, teach the people to sacrifice countless property, and even go bankrupt, leaving their families in ruins. This is such a cruel thing, but no one does such a cruel thing." I don't care, no one cares about it, everyone thinks nothing happened, I don't believe it, all the princes in the temple are deaf and blind, they are all smart people of mine, but they don't say..."

As Zhu Di said, his eyes swept over Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong.

Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong immediately said: "I will wait for ten thousand deaths."

Zhu Di said: "I don't mean to blame you. You are old and can't move anymore. Since you want to live for the rest of your life, let the active people toss."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he said, "Between his mother."

Zhu Di didn't know who he was scolding.

Jean then took a deep look at Yao Guangxiao, and said, "It's good that you are here, Master Yao and Master Jin, but do you still remember... our conversation not long after I ascended the throne?"

Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong looked at each other, and they said in unison, "I remember."

Zhu Di said: "I think...it has to be like this, and you all have to be prepared."

After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao said, "Your Majesty, is it really this time?"

Zhu Di just nodded and didn't make a sound.

Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong said: "I obey the order."

It didn't take long for the two of them to leave with their concerns in mind.

At the same time, Zhu Di sat alone in this hall for a long time, and Yi Shiha tiptoed over: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di nodded at him: "Is Jin still alive?"

"Bai Ling has been given." Yi Shiha said in a low voice, "She thanked His Majesty for her kindness, and left after that."

Zhu Di said: "Okay, it's fine."

Yi Shiha said: "Your servant... just got a piece of news."

Zhu Di said, "What news?"

"The Zhang family... is happy, and has given birth to a son, and they will be together with His Majesty in Duke Wei..."

Zhu Di was stunned: "It's such a coincidence? In this way, I owe Zhang Anshi. His own son was not around when he was born."

Yishi laughed and said: "Yes, but Duke Wei was very happy, I heard... someone took a lot of copper coins and threw them everywhere."

Zhu Di also said with a smile: "The Zhang family has a descendant. This is indeed something to be overjoyed about. Today is also a double happiness. You go there in person to see the child, and come back to tell me when the time comes."

"Yes, the slaves obey the order."

It's just that Yishiha just turned around when he heard Zhu Di say again: "Come back."

Yi Shiha hurriedly turned around and said, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Don't go empty-handed, prepare a reward...a generous reward."

"Yes."

…………

The Zhang family was decorated with lights and festoons at this time.

Zhang Anshi never expected such a coincidence.

Soon, some relatives also came.

The prince and princess Zhang also rushed over.

Zhu Zhanji, who came with the prince and concubine, was very happy. He excitedly went to see the child, and howled: "Little Baoer, you are my brother who I love the most, and I love you the most. "

Zhang Anshi was listening, but he only felt a lot of emotions.

After a while of excitement, Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi went to the small hall.

Zhu Gaochi still had joy on his face: "Today is Double Happiness, I haven't been this happy for a long time, and your sister, after hearing the news, almost passed out."

Zhang Anshi said with a little helplessness: "Sister, this is too happy."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Now she can rest assured, the Zhang family is only you, she is very worried every day."

The two chatted for a while, then Zhang Anshi started talking about the business, and said, "Brother-in-law, what does Your Majesty mean by letting my brother-in-law have teeth built?"

The smile on Zhu Gaochi's face gradually subsided, and he said with a little bit of distress: "Father's meaning is really unpredictable, but if you think about it, you want to experience this palace."

Zhang Anshi said: "Then what do brother-in-law think?"

Zhu Gaochi didn't hesitate, and said, "Naturally, it's natural to follow the rules, and it's good to share the worries for the father."

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said, "But I don't think so."

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhang Anshi, he no longer treated Zhang Anshi as a child.

Zhang Anshi said: "This time the White Lotus Sect has been troubled, and His Majesty has been worried. It is obvious that there are deeper intentions for brother-in-law to do this at this time. If brother-in-law only follows the rules, but does not have the courage to break the law, I am afraid... Your Majesty will be very disappointed. .”

Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean..."

Zhang Anshi sighed, and then said: "Of course, Your Majesty knows that brother-in-law is a filial prince, so he is not worried about brother-in-law, but the prince's restoration of teeth will eventually cause tension in the palace and the East Palace, brother-in-law... This is the truth that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. "

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head, of course he knew what Zhang Anshi meant.

Two tigers cannot be tolerated on one mountain, but it does not mean that these two tigers have a desire for power and must fight to the death.

After all, this is father and son, no matter what, there is affection between father and son.

The problem is not with the emperor and the prince, but with the subjects of the world.

If you are a minister, the emperor is old, but the prince is still young, and the prince's position is extremely stable, at this time, do you listen to the prince or the emperor?

And this question is actually a proposition.

At least the vast majority of people will choose to please the prince, because the prince represents the future, while the emperor only represents the present.

But another question arises, why do you please the prince?

At this time...another terrible problem arises. If you want to show your loyalty to the prince, you have to do things for the prince. If it is an ordinary matter, it is not your turn to do it.

What should we do at this time?

That is, there is no opportunity, and an opportunity must be created to serve the prince.

Zhang Anshi said right now without losing the opportunity: "Brother-in-law... No matter how I look at it, it seems that something big is going to happen."

………………

Today's Chapter 2 may be later. I stayed up late last night, went to bed too late, and got up late.

(End of this chapter)
