Chapter 498 The birth of the crown prince
"My lord is so happy, my lord!"
Before Zhu Zaijing saw anyone, he heard one after another uncontrollable shouts of joy from outside.
Zhu Zaijing and Gao Gong looked at each other. Both of them looked a little confused. Apparently they didn't know what the big news was?
Zhu Zaijing asked him to open the door curtain of the greenhouse and let the person who announced the good news into the greenhouse.
Zhu Zaijing saw that it was Liu Dezhu, the chief eunuch of Prince Jing's Mansion.
After Liu Dezhu saw Zhu Zaijing, he bowed excitedly: "Your Majesty, I am so happy!"
Zhu Zaijing looked at Liu Dezhu's excited figure and asked curiously: "Why are you so happy? Could it be that Princess Jing gave birth to the heir apparent?"
The moment he saw it was Liu Dezhu, Zhu Zaijing had a rough guess in his heart. Otherwise, how could Liu Dezhu come to his house alone to announce the good news?
Liu Dezhu said excitedly: "My prince is wise and he is the heir apparent born to the princess, so my prince sent his slaves to announce the good news."
Gao Gong on the side couldn't help but frown a little when he heard that it was Prince Jing's Mansion who had given birth to the heir apparent.
Gao Gong originally didn't pay much attention to Prince Jing, but now that Prince Jing actually has a son, if he wins a heavy reward from Emperor Jiajing, wouldn't it affect the court situation again?
You must know that Yan Shifan and other die-hard strict party members are still counting on King Jing to stand up.
Therefore, it is definitely not a good thing for Prince Jing's Mansion to give birth to a heir apparent at this time.
But Zhu Zaijing's expression was different. Zhu Zaijing said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, it's really a blessing for brother Zhen. Has this matter been reported to Xiyuan?"
Liu Dezhu said: "Prince Jing personally went to Xiyuan to announce the good news."
Gao Gong on the side heard again that it was King Jing who went to Xiyuan in person, and his heart skipped a beat. He must have known that Zhu Zaijing had not been summoned by Emperor Jiajing so far.
As a result, now King Jing is arrogantly taking advantage of the birth of the prince's son to go to Xiyuan to meet him in person. Isn't the distance and distance between them immediately clear?
Could it be that King Jing is the most favored in your Majesty's heart? Is King Yu just a cover for him? Is it a chess piece used to balance the court?
Gao Gong was a little confused for a while.
However, Zhu Zaijing smiled happily at Liu Dezhu and said: "You go down to receive the reward. I will personally go to Prince Jing's Mansion to congratulate you."
Liu Dezhu was excited and bowed to Zhu Zaijing again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will leave."
Zhu Zaijing smiled and waved his hand, asking Liu Dezhu to retreat.
At this time Gao Gong finally couldn't help it anymore, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong's suddenly nervous expression, and after a moment's thought, he knew what Gao Gong was nervous about.
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "Sir, don't have any distracting thoughts. This is a happy event. Just act as usual. I will go to Prince Jing's Mansion in person to congratulate you later, so I won't leave you lunch. ”
Gao Gong was still a little nervous and said: "But the prince, that is Prince Jing. Although his birth is a great joy, for the prince"
Zhu Zaijing's face darkened, and he looked at Gao Gong with warning eyes, "Sir, there are some things that you should not say or consider. I have my own calculations in my heart."
After Gao Gong was looked at by Zhu Zaijing like this, he felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but become confused, as if there was indeed a secret in this matter that he didn't know.
But obviously the secret was something Zhu Zaijing couldn't tell him.
Therefore, after Gao Gong was warned by Zhu Zaijing, he immediately surrendered and bowed: "I am scared, thank you for your teaching."
Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong's attitude that finally softened, and his tone became much better. Zhu Zaijing said: "This matter is not as complicated as you think, sir. You only need to know that the birth of Prince Jing is a joyful thing." It’s a happy event. As for other thoughts, it’s just a waste of time. Maybe you understand this?”
Gao Gong replied repeatedly: "I understand, thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up the confusion."
Then Zhu Zaijing said: "You just need to deal with this matter calmly. If someone is as anxious as you and tends to think about other things, just respond and comfort the anxious person like this, and you don't need to explain too much." .”
Gao Gong bowed excitedly again: "I understand!"
Zhu Zaijing said: "Okay, that's the end of the matter. Now I am going to make preparations."
Gao Gong bowed again: "I retire."
After Gao Gong left, Zhu Zaijing finally couldn't help but sigh, "There's really no way to explain this, but there's no need to explain it to anyone."
"Meng Chong!"
Zhu Zaijing called Meng Chong again and told him to come to him.
Meng Chong bowed to Zhu Zaijing: "My servant is here."
Zhu Zaijing said: "Go and prepare all the gifts for Prince Jing. Later, I will go to Prince Jing's Mansion in person to congratulate you."
At the same time, in Xiyuan Yuxi Palace.
King Jing Zhu Zaizhen came to Xiyuan with great anxiety and arrived outside the Jingshe in Yuxi Palace.
He was not summoned by Jiajing Xuan into the monastery. Instead, he announced the good news nervously at the entrance of the monastery, separated by a door and several curtains that made it difficult to see his figure.
"My son Zhu Zaizhen pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
Zhu Zaizhen conscientiously knelt down and saluted in front of the monastery.
When Emperor Jiajing in the monastery heard Zhu Zaizhen's voice, his reaction was also extremely dull.
"Is it the Crown Prince?"
Emperor Jiajing's voice came out from the monastery so calmly, as if it was the indifferent voice of heaven coming from above the nine heavens.
Zhu Zaizhen replied: "Father, bless me, the princess will give birth to a prince."
After Emperor Jiajing heard that it was the crown prince, he felt inexplicably relieved. He said to King Jing again: "Thank you for your hard work, Wang. You can go down."
Zhu Zaizhen did not dare to show much, and quickly kowtowed and said: "Thank you, father, I will retire."
After Zhu Zaizhen left, Huang Jin, who was serving Emperor Jiajing, could not tell whether he should be excited or happy, but this was still a happy event.
So Huang Jin still licked his smile and said to Emperor Jiajing: "Congratulations to the emperor on getting another grandson."
Emperor Jiajing looked at Huang Jin who congratulated him angrily, "Are you congratulating me?"
Huang Jin smiled awkwardly, "Of course I would like to congratulate the emperor. This young prince of Prince Jing's Mansion is your grandson!"
Emperor Jiajing sighed, "Can I not know? It's just that this matter still feels a bit hard to say."
Huang Jin was embarrassed again and did not respond to this sentence. Huang Jin reminded him: "Your Majesty should give the young prince a name." Emperor Jiajing looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to Huang Jin: "Give me a name." Forget it, you can go to Prince Jing’s Mansion later to deliver the order and say something long. As a brother, like a father, let the third son give me a name for this child. This can be regarded as a special favor from me. As for the reward for this child, it can be considered as a normal prince. It’s my kind of compensation.”
Huang Jin was a little stunned. This seemed to be against the rules.
Even if Emperor Jiajing was not happy to give him the name, Prince Jing should be the one who gave it to him.
As a result, Emperor Jiajing directly handed over the task of naming Prince Jing to Zhu Zaijing. This is really an anecdote for the ages!
But Huang Jin didn't say much. He also knew the reason for this, but he couldn't explain the reason.
As for the increase in rewards, this is not a problem, because when Zhu Yiyi, the younger prince of Prince Yu's palace, was born, Emperor Jiajing raised Zhu Yiyi's rewards to the reward standard for the birth of a prince.
Therefore, it makes sense to give the eldest son of Prince Jing the standard reward for a prince now. After all, this is the emperor's grandson, no matter how much he is loved, it is justified. Even if the officials want to find fault with this, they have nothing to say.
After all, not everyone can bear the sin of alienating the Tian family.
And even if the rewards are based on the prince's standards, they are just some insignificant gadgets and some palace ladies and eunuchs.
Therefore, Huang Jin certainly had no doubts about such an intention.
Therefore, since Emperor Jiajing had such a decree, Huang Jin would just act in accordance with it.
Huang Jin responded and immediately went to do things according to Emperor Jiajing's order.
At the same time, the news that King Jing had given birth to a son was like a whirlwind, spreading throughout the capital in an instant.
Yan Shifan, who had been a bit out of temper and had a loss of appetite these days, immediately became excited and excited when he heard the good news, and his only one eye also shone with excitement.
"Okay, okay! This is really a good thing! King Jing has a son. From now on, who dares to say that the emperor has only one choice?"
Yan Shifan excitedly opened a bottle of ginseng lemonade, and drank most of the bottle regardless of the coldness, which showed how good he was.
At this time, Yan Maoqing also came to Yan Shifan's house very excitedly.
Yan Maoqing danced and shouted excitedly, "I'm so happy, Mr. Xiaoge, I'm so happy, Mr. Xiaoge!"
Yan Maoqing ran towards Yan Shifan excitedly. He accidentally stepped on the thin ice on the ground and slipped to the ground. However, this still did not stop Yan Maoqing's enthusiasm. He still shouted excitedly and got up from the ground.
Yan Shifan was in a very good mood when he saw Yan Maoqing being so excited.
Yan Shifan chuckled and said: "Slow down, slow down."
But Yan Maoqing was still unstoppable in his enthusiasm. He got up from the ground and ran towards Yan Shifan again.
When he ran to Yan Shifan, his face turned red with excitement, "The boss of Xiaoge is so happy!"
Yan Shifan asked knowingly and smiled: "Where does happiness come from?"
Yan Maoqing said excitedly: "Happy to be from Prince Jing's Mansion! The news that Princess Jing gave birth to a young prince has spread throughout the capital. Now everyone is paying attention to Prince Jing's Mansion. We can finally move back to the first city this time. .”
After Yan Shifan heard Yan Maoqing's words, although this was all news he knew, he still couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Okay, okay, okay, okay! It's such a great thing! It can be regarded as a good thing for Wang Ben. That city has been moved here. Go and prepare. We will go to Prince Jing’s Mansion to congratulate you tomorrow!”
Yan Maoqing said happily: "Old Xiaoge, my subordinates have already prepared it. We will go to congratulate you early tomorrow morning."
Yan Shifan sighed with emotion, "It's really not easy. When we move Prince Jing's position to that of the crown prince, how arrogant is the traitor Zhao Wenhua? How dare he betray me? I really don't know how many Prince Ma has grown." Eye? ”
Yan Maoqing on the side glanced at Yan Shifan's one eye, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Isn't it just one eye? Do you think you have three eyes?"
Of course, these words were just a rant in Yan Maoqing's mind, and he didn't really make a sound.
Yan Maoqing asked: "What should Wang Bengu do now?"
Yan Shifan snorted, "Why do you care about this idiot? We now have Prince Jing, who is much stronger than Wang Bengu. He is already a street rat. It will not do us any good to cling to him, so let him Live and die. I, Yan Shifan, hate such sanctimonious hypocrites!”
Yan Maoqing looked at Yan Shifan's angry expression and sighed slightly in his heart, "What you hate is that he was also a Jinshi, right?"
However, Yan Maoqing did not say this aloud, because he was also a Jinshi, so when acting as a dog for Yan Shifan, Yan Maoqing would never show off his status as a Jinshi, because he knew that this would irritate Yan Shifan.
After all, Yan Shifan only obtained the status of a prison student and the qualification to be an official because of his father's help. Otherwise, no one would want someone like him, let alone an official, even if he was just a lowly official.
But who gives people good luck? There is a father who is the chief minister of the cabinet!
Yan Shifan was in a good mood and drank the remaining half of the bottle of ginseng lemonade, and then let out a long roar: "So cool!"
Seeing Yan Shifan's high interest, Yan Maoqing also smiled and said, "It's so cool!"
Just when Yan Shifan and the others were feeling happy, Zhu Zaijing also asked Meng Chong to prepare gifts, and he also took Chen to Prince Jing's Mansion.
When Zhu Zaijing arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, Zhu Zaizhen also returned from Xiyuan.
When he heard that Zhu Zaijing had arrived in front of the mansion, he didn't have the news or preparations in time, so he immediately went to the door to greet him.
"Third brother!"
Zhu Zaizhen bowed excitedly to Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing looked at Zhu Zaijing and also smiled and said: "Brother Zhen, there is no need to be polite, let's go into the house together quickly."
Zhu Zaizhen hummed, then invited Zhu Zaijing, and the two of them entered the mansion together.
At this moment, Prince Jing's palace is also full of joy, and everything is filled with joy. Whether it is the eunuchs, maids, or the servants who work as handymen, everyone is beaming with joy.
Obviously, the birth of Prince Jing this time also brought them tangible benefits.
"Third brother, I will take you to see the child."
Zhu Zaizhen welcomed Zhu Zaijing into his mansion and said excitedly to Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing waved his hand and said: "No need for the time being. Children's resistance is weak. It's a cold season now, so it's better to see some strangers. Remember to follow the instructions of Dr. Li and Dr. Wan and take good care of yourself." Do a good job in the health of the young prince.”
Zhu Zaizhen gave a heavy hum. Isn't what he hopes for is that the young prince can grow up healthily and shoulder the inheritance of Prince Jing's Mansion?
Now Princess Jing has really lived up to expectations and given birth to a little prince, which is a worry for Zhu Zaizhen.
So today Zhu Zaizhen is also excited and excited from the bottom of his heart.
