As the saying goes: "There are indeed thousand-year-old trees in the mountains, and it is rare to find a centenarian in the world." Don't think that as an emperor, people call him "Long live! Long live! Long live!" In fact, his lifespan may not be as long as "Bai Yunsheng". People in the mountains, where there are people everywhere, live longer.
King Miaozhuang is a sensible man. He does not seek any immortal medicine or immortal prescription, nor does he expect to live forever. I just want to pass on the eternal inheritance that I created with my own hands to my descendants.
There is a saying: the sky has treasures, like the sun, moon and stars; the earth has treasures, like grains and gardens; the state has treasures, like loyal ministers and good generals; the family has treasures, like filial sons and virtuous grandchildren. It has been ten years since King Miaozhuang came to the throne. Except for Queen Baoyin who gave birth to two "daughters" for him, the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards were not happy.
It has been said since ancient times: "Among the five moral ethics, kingship, kinship, and kindness are the most important. The foundation of all actions should be loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest is not having descendants." This is the case for common people, kings and emperors No exception.
King Miaozhuang couldn't hold back his anger. When people are in desperate situations, they often turn to gods for help. King Miaozhuang originally did not respect gods and ghosts, but in order to succeed in the great cause he had created, he had to mobilize people to burn incense, worship Buddha, and ask gods for divination.
Within three years, he built more than ten temples and nunneries around the capital, of which Baique Temple was the largest.
In addition, he changed the robes of more than 200 Bodhisattvas and decorated them with gold, and recruited more than 3,000 monks, nuns, and Taoists to pray for the royal family all day long.
He swore that he would not stop praying to God until the queen was happy.
Heaven pays off. This time, the queen's pregnancy was different from the previous two babies. In the previous two babies, the left side of the belly was bulging, but this time the right side of the belly was high. In the first two babies, I didn't notice the fetus moving until they were five months old. This time, just three months later, the little thing was kicking around. It was only four months before I could see the movement through three layers of unlined clothes. After five months, it was already "pregnant". It's like hiding a white jade rabbit in the middle, with eight skirts opening the back door.
What's even more interesting is that during her first two pregnancies, she had always left the door with her left foot and entered with the right foot. This time, she went against the norm and always put her left foot first in every move she made. There are various signs that Queen Baoyin must be pregnant with the prince this time.
King Miaozhuang, who had always been prudent, suddenly became frivolous for some reason. He couldn't wait to announce to the civil and military ministers that the Empress of the Palace was pregnant with the prince for her third child.
When the news came out, everyone in the government and the public cheered for joy, and many impatient contestants sent congratulatory gifts in advance.
As the saying goes: the more people sing, the more people cheer. It didn't take long for gift givers to arrive in droves. No one knows exactly how much gold, silver, jewelry, clothing, and clothes were collected. They only know that there are 9981 boxes of shoes and socks worn by Xiaoyou.
Queen Baoyin complained secretly.
She felt that although the third child was different from the first two, the child was a living treasure in the belly. Who could say clearly? If there was another royal aunt, wouldn't it make King Miaozhuang embarrassed in front of the people?
In order to remain invincible, she persuaded King Miaozhuang to correct his previous faux pas by refusing to give gifts, explaining that it was still difficult to determine whether the fetus was a boy or a girl.
Unexpectedly, King Miaozhuang, who always obeyed the queen, said: "Once a word is spoken, it is difficult to follow it. How can a majestic king go back on his word!"
Queen Baoyin said: "The subjects can obey your Majesty's will, and the three armies can obey your Majesty's orders. Could it be that this unborn fetus..."
Before she could finish her words, King Miaozhuang smashed the teacup in his hand with a "bang" sound and shouted: "Go to Xiaoyaozhuang to announce the birth of a prince, otherwise this teacup will be the same!" After saying that, he got up and drove back to Xiaoyaozhuang. .
Once King Miaozhuang left, he did not return to the capital for several months and ignored the government affairs.
Queen Baoyin spends her days in the palace like years. She hopes that her child will be born as soon as possible, but she is also afraid that her child's birthday will be her death.
She wished she had been pregnant for three years and six months, and she wished she could report the good news to King Miaozhuang early tomorrow morning. She dreams almost every day, sometimes waking up with a smile, and sometimes wetting her pillow with tears. She doesn't want to taste the delicacies of mountains and seas, she just hopes to have a son.
The day of delivery is getting closer day by day. To prevent accidents, Queen Baoyin did not dare to ask a midwife to deliver the baby. He didn't dare to ask Gong'e Caimei to wait on the bedside, but asked his sister and two daughters to wait on the bedside.
She repeatedly warned: "If you give birth to a daughter, don't let any news out." The strange thing is that the child was born for eight days and eight nights, and she was not allowed to go to the ground.
Queen Baoyin couldn't keep her temper, and she made up her mind that she would never invite King Miaozhuang back to the palace until the child was born.
But on the ninth day when the baby was born, the deacon and eunuch suddenly shouted outside the palace: "The Holy One is here!"
Queen Baoyin was shocked and asked quickly, "What's going on?"
The eldest daughter Miaoqing said, "Mother, it was my daughter who saw that her mother was still unable to give birth after three days and three nights six days ago, so she took it upon herself to tell the deacon and eunuch that the child had been born, and that the child was a prince, and asked him to invite Miaoqing. King Zhuang got up and drove back to the palace."
When the Queen heard this, she suddenly got goosebumps all over her body: "My dear, you have done such a great harm to your mother..."
King Miaozhuang has returned to the palace. If the child is still not born, he will give birth to a boy made of gold tomorrow, which is also a sin of deceiving the king! The eldest princess, who is only nine years old, thinks that she is taking care of her mother's problems, but she does not understand the pros and cons. Hearing what my mother said, I was so scared that I burst into tears.
While comforting her niece, the imperial aunt shouted to the queen's belly: "My child, you have been waiting for nine days and nine nights. Now that King Miaozhuang is back, why haven't you been born yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the child really jumped out from Queen Baoyin's armpit. After the birth, the imperial aunt quickly pulled out a handful of hair and stuffed it into Queen Baoyin's armpit. Later, the hair became a woman's armpit hair, and there is a popular saying among the people that "a woman with hairy armpits is a real woman."
Queen Baoyin was very happy when she saw that when the child was born, the house was full of fragrance and the glow was everywhere. It must be auspicious light.
But when I picked her up and saw that she was still the "Royal Aunt", I was stunned and speechless for a long time.
She had originally executed the Third Emperor's Aunt in accordance with King Miaozhuang's will, but she couldn't bear to commit such a murderous act! She should have saved her daughter's life, but it was hard to violate the holy order.
What's more, if the eldest daughter falsely conveys Yi's wishes, she will be guilty of deceiving the emperor first. If the younger daughter is not killed, she will also be disobeying the emperor. That is: yellow mud fell into the crotch - either death (shit) or death (shit)!
She thought about it again and again, and felt that instead of just sitting back and waiting for death, it would be better to make a mistake and declare the third emperor's aunt as the "eldest prince".
King Miaozhuang was overjoyed when he heard the memorial and wanted to see the "Prince" with his own eyes.
Long Live opened Chrysostom, and no one dared to dissuade him.
Queen Baoyin really expected that she could hide it for a year, and she could count it for a month if she could hide it for a month. She didn't expect that the truth would be exposed under the unicorn's skin even if she didn't hide it for even a day.
Now that things were like this, she had no choice but to hand the child over, thinking: It's up to you whether you want to kill him or cut him into pieces!
When King Miaozhuang took the child and took a look, he was so happy that he shouted: "Amitabha, I finally gave birth to a fat boy!" After saying that, he reached out and touched the little bird, as if to test whether it was true or false.
When Queen Baoyin heard this, she didn't know where the strength came from. She sat up with a "swish" sound, "dong, dong, dong" and ran up to the child with three steps and two at a time. I looked again and again, touched again and again, but couldn't find any flaw, and I was secretly surprised.
The lips kept trembling...
You say someone used a trick to transfer the baby. Less than an hour after the birth, my sister and daughter had not left the bedroom, and the baby had been in her arms. What's more, the beauty mark between the child's eyebrows cannot be exchanged or lost at any cost! What is going on? Because the secret cannot be leaked, the author dare not Making wild guesses becomes an unsolvable mystery.
After the third princess became the eldest prince, King Miaozhuang hoped that his son would change three times a day, grow up in three to five years, and be able to act in government affairs in eighty-nine years.
King Miaozhuang, who was eager for his son to become a dragon, also put a lot of thought into naming his son. His two daughters were named Miaoqing and Miaoyuan respectively according to the reign names of "Miaozhuang". His son was the young master of Xinglin Kingdom, so of course the character Miao was indispensable.
He thought of a long list of names around the word Miao, such as Miao Mei, Miao Bin, Miao Man, Miao Nv, Miao Zhu, Miao Jun, and even Miao Cat and Dog, but none of them clicked. Miaoshan is too girlish. Although Miaobin means both civil and military, it lacks the metaphorical meaning of "the son comes from the father and is stronger than the father". Miaonan and Miaonu are too vulgar, and Miaozhu and Miaojun are too shallow and straightforward. Lu, although calling cats and dogs has the meaning of "fame is cheap and people are expensive", it is really difficult to achieve elegance.
When the queen saw that King Miaozhuang had spent a full hour on the name and still couldn't decide, she said distressedly: "The birth of the prince is good news to the royal family and also to the people of Xinglin Kingdom. Unexpectedly, it is not good news to you, Long Live You." ."
"Okay, the gospel is good, it would be better to name her Miaoyin!" King Miaozhuang wanted to worship the queen as his "one-word teacher".
"Miaoyin" has since become the name of the young master, and the hope and spiritual sustenance of King Miaozhuang and Queen. For the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the concubines of the three palaces, the word "Miaoyin" became a sacred symbol.
Things in the world tend to be that the greater the hope, the more disastrous the failure.
Unexpectedly, this sentence came true for King Miaozhuang.
Children of ordinary people can walk at one year old, talk at two years old, act like a baby at three years old, and sing and dance at four years old. Eat some simple meals, and grow black and red, chubby, and able to withstand wind and rain. But this prince, who is as precious as his heart, eats delicacies and wears silks and satins.
All year round, the wind does not blow or the rain does not hit, but for some reason, he "shrivels up, turns yellow and thin", like a garlic clove stuck in yellow sand - it does not grow much, and his hair does not grow thick.
If it's just that, then that's it. According to King Miaozhuang himself: "I don't want him to grow up, I just want him to be here year after year."
The most frustrating thing is that he couldn't walk at the age of two and couldn't speak at the age of three, making him completely mute.
King Miaozhuang was really worried about this matter.
He felt that as the leader of a country, he could not carry his shoulders or lift his hands, but it was understandable. Even if he was blind in one eye and lost one hand, he could still lead his subjects as long as he had management skills. Only a mute who can't speak can't sit in the country no matter what! In order to let the prince speak, King Miaozhuang invited dozens of famous doctors, collected nearly a hundred ancestral secret recipes, and spent nearly a thousand days. Every night, not only was it "rice soup and rice--restored to its original state", but it also caused many unreasonable rumors.
Some people privately discussed that he had done evil in his previous life and had become a monk in this life.
Others say that he received this retribution because he blasphemed the gods.
King Miaozhuang never dreamed that the "royal gospel" three years ago would become the "royal bane" three years later.
The disillusionment of hope and the passion after being humiliated made King Miaozhuang lose his psychological balance. He began to complain and hate, complaining that God did not have eyes, and hating the gods for bullying others too much.
