There is no such thing as in the TV series in later generations, saying that the child is born with a feeling of blood connection, at least Zhu Zhanyan does not, he just feels a little strange in his heart.

It's not so much a blood connection, but rather a feeling of helplessness when facing the role of a father for the first time, which is a very novel and strange feeling.

"How?" Princess Wu looked at her son with a loving face.

"How does it feel to be a father?"

"Feelings?" Zhu Zhanyan was holding the child, looking cautiously like holding a landmine.

"Okay...... ......."

"Alright, alright, you're not like your dad at all." The kindness on Princess Wu's face disappeared, and was replaced by an angry white eye.

"When you were born, your father was on the battlefield like you, but your father was different from you, he went off the battlefield and hugged you like a sword, you were so ......"

As she spoke, Princess Wu gave the father and son a big roll of their eyes.

"What are you afraid of? It's your kid! Look at you like this, like you're holding something that can kill you. ”

……

Zhu Zhanyan shrugged his shoulders very innocently: "It's not that I'm inexperienced, where have I experienced this?" ”

"Go, go, go! Go aside! ”

Seeing that the child had already begun to squirm because of Zhu Zhan's wrong posture, Princess Wu knew that the child was about to cry, so she quickly pushed Zhu Zhanyan aside and snatched the child over.

"Okay, okay, leave this matter to your mother, you still have to think about the child's name."

Zhu Gaoxu also felt that his son's appearance was a little funny, so he pulled his son to sit down.

"Name......" Zhu Zhanyan sat down with his father's strength, looked at the teacup in front of him, thoughtful.

"yes, name." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

"Originally, I wanted to give one, but after thinking about it, there are many differences in the thinking of our two sons, in the end, it is your child, what kind of expectations and what kind of outlook for him are your business, I am not as good as you in this regard."

"So, I'll leave the name to you."

Zhu Zhanyan didn't look up, just looked at the teacup in front of him quietly, as if he was attracted by the teacup.

The Zhu family came up with a name, and it was easy to say that it was good, and it was not easy to start if it was not good.

Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang has long set the law of naming the children and grandchildren of the Zhu family, for example, the original crown prince Zhu Biao's lineage is "Yunwen obeys the ancestral teachings, Qinwu Dajun wins, the way is auspicious, and the teacher is good at using Sheng".

As for Emperor Taizong, it is "Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Changyou, Ci He Yi Bozhong, and Jian Jingdi Xianyou".

The surname is Zhu, which goes without saying.

With the rules of Emperor Taizu Gao, when it came to Zhu Zhanqi's son's generation, the second word of the name was Qi, such as the name of the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Therefore, what Zhu Zhanyan wants to think about is the third word of the name, and this third word also has rules.

Emperor Taizu Gao set the rule that the last word of the name of the descendants of the Zhu family should be started according to the law of the five elements.

The five elements are born together, "Spring and Autumn Dew: The Righteousness of the Five Elements" says: "Wood, the beginning of the five elements", so the son of Emperor Taizu Gao is next to the wooden character on the last word of the name, such as Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, etc.

When it came to the third generation, that is, Zhu Gaoxu's generation, it was wood to make fire, and the word "fire" had to be taken as the radical.

For example, Zhu Gaochi's blazing, Zhu Gaosui's flint and Zhu Gaosui's Zhu Gaosui are all next to the word fire, as for the only special Zhu Gaoxu, it seems unreasonable but it is actually reasonable.

The radical of the word cozy seems to be the bottom of the word water, which has nothing to do with fire and is also restrained, but in fact, the radical of the word is also a separate word, and this word is 灬.

灬, in ancient times, refers to the light and flame emitted by objects when they burn.

Later, fire gave birth to earth, that is, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanji, who took soil as the radical, and then the earth born of gold.

A character with gold as a radical......

Zhu Zhanyan quickly brainstormed in his mind, and then raised his head suddenly, with a bright glint in his eyes.

"Got it figured?" Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly spoke.

"Well, I've figured it out." Zhu Zhanyan smiled and nodded, reached out and dipped the water in the teacup, and wrote a word on the table.

"It's ...... Ming? Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son, a little puzzled, but also a little clear.

"Well, the inscription, the words engraved on the utensils, some sing praises of merit, some affirm the precepts, and never forget."

"Whether it is singing praises of merit, affirming the precepts, the road, I paved it for him, this inscription, I hope he can remember the glory of his ancestors, and always be vigilant, and never forget the mission of the descendants of the Zhu family."

"Ming...... Zhu Qiming ......" Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly, he felt good.

"Yes, it conforms to the rules of the ancestors, and the meaning is not bad, so it's decided?"

"That's it." Zhu Zhanyan turned his head to look inside the house, although he couldn't see anything, he still looked straight in the direction of the door.

"This child, maybe he has ordinary talents, maybe he chose it himself, or he didn't have a choice, but since he was born in our Zhu family, born in our lineage, and gave birth to my son, then he has no choice."

"Actually, I don't want to force this on him, but ......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanyan turned his head and looked at his face reflected in the teacup in front of him, and his tone was a little self-pity.

"There's no way to ......"

"Yes......" Zhu Gaoxu also sighed when he heard this.

"There's no way to ......"

……

This generation of the Zhu family, like Emperor Taizong's lineage back then, has no way.

Maybe the old monk was right back then, the hands of the Zhu family will be stained with the blood of the Zhu family sooner or later.

……

It's night.

Zhu Zhanyan stood in front of the window, looking at the sky outside through the newly replaced glass windows of the palace.

Actually, he didn't really like coming back, because as long as he came back, he had to face something he didn't want to face.

He still prefers to fight in Europe rather than face internal strife, and likes the feeling that he can kill without any scruples, without thinking about any consequences.

And yet now......

Zhu Zhanyan tilted his head slightly, looked at Hu Shanshu who was sleeping soundly behind him, and then looked at Zhu Qiming on the small bed next to him.

Right now...... It's not the same as before.

……

People, especially men, mature in an instant, and this moment is usually some kind of change.

Or the death of a loved one, or the dedication of relatives and friends, or a moment of enlightenment.

For Zhu Zhanyan, it was the birth of his son that made him begin to imagine the future and begin to pave the way for the future.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Glancing at his wife who was still asleep beside him, Zhu Zhanyan got up and got out of bed lightly.

After a simple wash, Zhu Zhanyan changed his clothes and tied his hair in the side room.

"His Royal Highness, Chen Shangshu and others have arrived, and they are waiting in the side hall."

"His Royal Highness King Wu has already done a good job of integrating the affairs of your time away from Beijing, and it was already in your study last night."

"There is also the matter of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, because it only made a few small moves in the Eastern European battlefield and did not make a move against the Central Plains, so His Royal Highness King Wu did not rush to deal with it, but wanted to wait for you to come back and get a charter."

Zhu Gaoxu's personal bodyguard, Zhu Heng, stood behind Zhu Zhanyan, holding a booklet in his hand, and reported everything during this period of time to Zhu Zhanyan, especially some things that needed to be dealt with urgently.

For example, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

"After the incident on the battlefield in Eastern Europe, did the Eastern Chagatai Khanate make any moves?" Zhu Zhanyan asked while letting the palace maid tie his hair.

"For example, to deploy defenses in the border areas of the Central Plains or other places, or to send people to Beijing, and so on."

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the Return, not for the time being." Zhu Heng put away the booklet in his hand and bowed down to reply.

"I see."

The palace maid just tied Zhu Zhan's hair, bowed and retreated, and Zhu Zhanyan also stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Official documents from the beginning of the battlefield changes in Eastern Europe to the present, especially those on the border areas of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, have been sent to my study."

"Zhu Ling Zhu Ping, you call Chen Xun to go to the study."

"Yes......"

……

Den.

Zhu Zhanyan held a bowl of porridge in his hand, and looked at the official document in front of him while drinking.

In front of Zhu Zhan Yan are the official documents related to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate that he named, and on the right hand side are important documents such as taxes in various places in the past two years, and on the left hand are some relatively not very important official documents.

For example, the mining in various parts of Xiangzhou Prefecture, and the attrition of the Ming army stationed in the Wa Kingdom.

"Chen Xun." Zhu Zhanyan put down the porridge bowl in his hand and pushed an official document out.

"Who is the current garrison general over there in Kansai Qiwei?"

Chen Xun took out a booklet from his sleeve when he heard this, and after flipping through it a few times, he found what he wanted.

"His Royal Highness Hui Shizi, it was Xu Heng a year ago, and the last time he changed his guard was on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and the general who changed his guard was Li Bin."

It was very important to garrison the border fortresses, especially the Kansai Seven Guards near the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

In order to prevent accidents, the generals stationed in the garrison were basically Li Bin and Xu Heng, because only the two of them were the most trusted generals of King Wu's lineage.

Well...... It should be said that among the generals currently in Beijing, the two of them are the most worthy of the trust of King Wu.

"Tell them that they can put some pressure on them appropriately, such as embarrassing the merchants of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate who are crossing the border from the Kansai Seven Guards."

"It's okay to eat and take cards, but pay attention to the impact and let them have their own degree."

"Yes." Chen Xun bowed his head in response.

Some things in the dark are actually impossible to be completely eliminated, and Zhu Zhanyan doesn't care about those people filling their pockets properly, as long as it is not too excessive, Zhu Zhanyan still allows it.

After all, the people of this era are more realistic than the future generations, and the greatest purpose of striving to climb the ladder is to be able to enjoy the happiness of their families and future generations.

"This side of the northern steppe......" pushed the excerpt that wrote about the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Seven Guards of Kansai to Chen Xun, and Zhu Zhanyan took out another official document.

"Previously, the first emperor led the army to a decisive battle with Warat, and according to the agreement between the two sides of the decisive battle at that time, Warat should retreat to the area north of the Nan River."

"When spring begins, let the Ministry of Industry send some people to the grassland, and build a few guards there in the name of building horse farms for grazing and raising horses."

"As for the people stationed, there are not too many, just tentatively set up four guards, and the number of people stationed at 40,000 is enough, after all, it is in the name of raising horses and grazing."

"However, after the establishment of the guard, once the phenomenon of cross-border grazing of the Warat people is discovered, it must be dealt with seriously, the resisters can be executed on the spot, and the cattle and sheep of those who surrender will be confiscated, and the people will be brought back and sent to Xiangzhou Mansion to open mines, without mercy!"

"Yes!" Chen Xun's heart sank, but he was also a little excited.

Remembering to eat or not to fight, maybe it is talking about people, and maybe only people will be tempted in the minefield again and again.

Although Emperor Xuande chose to make a desperate bet for the sake of his son, the orthodox emperor, it has to be said that it still had an effect, at least he beat Wara away.

However, later, as Zhu Zhan Yan went to the European battlefield again, and the news of Emperor Xuande's death also spread to the grassland, the group of things that remembered to eat and not to beat began to move again.

In the past two years, Zhu Zhanyan has not freed up his hands to deal with them, and Chen Xun and them can only deploy troops when they encounter emergencies, so they have not been left alone.

Now Zhu Zhanyan has directly set the charter, which shows that there will be zero tolerance for Warat in the future.

"Also, what's going on?" Zhu Zhanyan pushed the fold related to the tile in front of Chen Xun, and there was another one along with the fold.

Chen Xun hurriedly leaned over, and when he looked at it, he realized that it was an excerpt from last year's work.

"His Royal Highness Hui Shizi, last year's Gongju, a total of two people were screened out, and the inventions that these two people took out to participate in the Gongju are very useful, but before you said that once the person who participated in the Gongju was selected, he could be knighted."

"It's the first time for our Daming to hold a work lift, and we don't have much experience in this, so I'll hold it down for the time being."

"You also said that I said before that once you are selected, you can be knighted, why didn't you get it?" Zhu Zhanyan looked at Chen Xun with a serious expression.

"His Royal Highness, isn't this knighthood a little ......?"

Zhu Zhanyan's tone was not very good, which made Chen Xun's heart burst out.

But in fact, he can't be blamed for this, it can only be said that Zhu Zhanyan's step is a little too big.

Previously, everyone thought that Zhu Zhanyan was a daughter who bought horse bones, and wanted to finally obtain inventions at the level of artillery and white phosphor eggs through the way of gongju.

It stands to reason that this level of invention is enough to be knighted, after all, the current Ming Dynasty has a deep understanding of the importance of firearms.

But when it came to the knighthood, except for Zhu Zhanyu, almost everyone, including Zhu Gaoxu, felt that something was not appropriate.

This is mainly because of the particularity of the Ming Dynasty titles.

The titles of the Ming Dynasty are divided into two kinds: clan and clan, and the clan has nothing to do with this matter, mainly the knighthood system of the clan.

For a long time, the title system of the duke and the prince has continued for a long, long time, and it was also continued in this way in the early Ming Dynasty, but later the Ming Revolution except for the viscount and the baron, that is to say, since then, the Ming Dynasty has only three titles.

Zhu Zhanyan said before that those who are selected for the job can be knighted, and according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the title is the earl's start.

That's a bit of a high starting point.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty has other rules for knighthood, such as "all knights who are not for social and military merits cannot be awarded, and titles cannot be given unless they are specially intended."

That is to say, under normal circumstances, unless it is a military merit, and it is a very large military merit, it can be knighted.

Because of this reason, the matter of the work was delayed for more than half a year, and it was not decided until Zhu Zhanyan came back.
