"Li Aiqing, ask the imperial guards to move and keep an eye on these gamblers. With my order, I can arrest them all.
By the way, let’s find out who is behind these bets. "
"In addition, arrange for some people to instigate the feudal kings' affairs and let them know how much the people of the Ming Dynasty hate them."
"I obey the decree!"
Watching Li Ruolian leave, Chongzhen sneered: "Since they want to play, then I will play with them to the fullest!"
At this moment, he strengthened his inner thoughts on how to deal with the feudal king.
Another day later, two days before the 100-day ceremony for the eldest son, Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, and Huang Daozhong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, entered Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, these are the characters chosen by the Hanlin Academy after the Imperial Academy approved the names of the clan members with the same name. Please read them and select a name for the prince."
Wang Chengen took Liu Zongzhou's memorial and presented it to Chongzhen.
"Xuan, bright and prosperous, is taken from "Book of Changes·Shuo Gua Chuan"."
"Hang, it's bright!"
"Jong, from Huo, from Ji, the fire is brighter, taken from "Cangjie Pian", Jiong, Mingye!"
"Huan, bright and vivid, taken from "The Analects of Confucius" Huanhu has an article!"
…
Good guy, there are a total of forty or fifty characters in the memorial. Every word has its origin and basically means bright.
He didn't know how many ancient books the Hanlin Academy read for this name before finding so many characters.
During Taizu's reign, the generation lines of each vassal king were determined. They are the lineage of Chengzu. The twenty generations are: Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Chang You, Ci He Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jing Di Xianyou.
He is the descendant of the tenth generation, and his children are the eleventh generation, the generation of Ci.
"Your Majesty, the word I have chosen has a profound meaning. Since your Majesty ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has begun to glow with vitality.
Your Majesty's various policies have illuminated the entire Ming Dynasty. I firmly believe that Your Majesty can create an unprecedented prosperous age and let the world feel the brightness of the Ming Dynasty, so it basically means bright and bright. "
Faced with the compliment from Huang Daozhong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Chongzhen thought for a while and then circled a word with a pen: "Then use the word "纺", Zhu Cihong!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Looking at the word circled by the emperor, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhong were shocked. The word "纺" also had a purpose.
In fact, Chongzhen was hesitating just now whether to use this word, because the prince in history had bad luck and ending.
But then I thought about it, I will be so powerful that I will come to court from all over the world. If I can't save my child, then it will be useless to change my name.
Moreover, he chose this word for two other purposes.
After seeing that the name was decided, Liu Zongzhou submitted another memorial and continued: "Your Majesty, this is the naming ceremony for the prince drawn up by the Ministry of Rites based on the Ming Dynasty ceremony. Please take a look at it!"
"I understand, as long as the etiquette department is ready!"
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
After the two exited Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen looked through the rituals and shook his head after a moment. The process was not as complicated as usual.
It can only be said that in order to achieve the purpose of the divine power of the emperor, those in power have formulated various complex etiquette systems and used complex and vast etiquette to fool the world.
On June 7, at Chen time, Chongzhen personally went to the Taimiao Temple and the Shimiao Temple and told the saints and emperor Kao the name of the prince. The general meaning was that I have a son, and I came to tell all the ancestors today, hoping for their blessings and so on.
After doing this, the prince had his hair cut, and then paid four obeisances to the concubines in the harem.
Later in Kunning Palace, Chongzhen took his eldest son's right hand and said softly: "From today on, I give you the name Zhu Cihong."
After finishing all these rituals, the whole morning passed.
But this was not the end. When Chongzhen arrived at Fengtian Gate the next day, all the civil and military officials had already arrived. Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity as to what the emperor would name his eldest son.
"Zhu Cihong, the universe is bright, the sun and moon are shining brightly!"
The ministers were shocked when they heard the emperor's voice.
Those who can stand at Fengtian Gate are those who have read the books of sages and sages, and naturally understand the meaning of the word "纺".
Lang Tongxang, Langlang Qiankun, Qianxun Qiankun.
Qiankun is the name of two hexagrams in the Book of Changes, which refers to heaven, earth and the world. Langlang Qiankun means political clarity and peace in the world.
To give the eldest son the character "纺" is to express expectations for this eldest son.
If we speculate further, Zhu Cixiang is likely to be the crown prince and future emperor.
If there are still speculations, it is that the emperor is sending a signal to the outside world that he must start to rectify the officialdom. Otherwise, the emperor will not say that the world is bright and the sun and the moon are shining.
But it doesn't matter to them. After working under Cintiq's watch for two years, they have no ideas anymore.
It must be said that the ministers have many minds, and one name can be associated with many things.
Seeing the flashing eyes of the ministers, Chongzhen had a smile on his lips. He could just guess what the big deal was.
After all the ministers paid homage, Chongzhen gave a few instructions and sent the name of the prince to the Ministry of Rites, so that the family could include it when compiling the jade ultimatum.
At this point, the prince's hundred-day ceremony was completed, and the officials slowly dispersed.
At the same time, the name of the emperor's eldest son was also published in the Ming Dynasty Daily.
"Well done, Your Majesty has high hopes for the prince!"
"Political clarity will lead to peace in the world. What a good metaphor. Under the leadership of Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the three major parts of the grassland and established slaves quickly. Once the slaves are eliminated, the world will be peaceful!"
"It's hard to say whether it will be politically clean. If the clan is still there, then...it's hard to say!"
"It's hard to say whether the clan is still there, but we are definitely gone. But having said that, the presence of the clan is not necessarily related to political clarity. It depends on how the vassal system is designed."
"If there is any design, just cut it off, and then cut off all the vassals."
"Old Wang, are you participating in gambling? I advise you to keep a low profile. If His Majesty finds out, your right hand will be gone!"
"A famous minister like Mr. Yuan Ge, who has experienced five dynasties, is the prince's teacher. It's hard to say other things. His upright nature is certain, and his majesty's personal teachings are also there. The future is promising!"
"Hahaha, if this is true, then the common people will be better off, but the officials will have a hard time, so they can't be greedy!"
"If you can do it, do it; if you can't do it, quit. What Ming Dynasty lacks most is people who want to be officials and people who want to do practical things!"
…
The common people were discussing the name of the emperor's eldest son, and the princes of the ten princes' palaces naturally saw the name printed in the Ming Dynasty Daily.
Although they were uneducated, they all had a long history with them, so naturally they knew the meaning of the emperor's eldest son's name for the first time.
Without waiting for them to think too much, Wang Chengen arrived at the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
After nearly half a quarter of an hour, the vassal kings living in the various courtyards of the Ten Princes' Mansion gathered together and loudly said: "Your Majesty has spoken, and tomorrow at midnight, the kings will be summoned to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to discuss matters!"
"My lords, Your Majesty's instructions have been sent to your servants, so don't be late!"
