Chapter 351 The Successor of the Ming Empire

(Please subscribe!)

Kangxi was educating the Rakshasa people in Yaksa, and the Ming Dynasty was not idle either!

Back in February 1686, Tang Duanhu, the head of the Ministry of Industry's Renovation and Cleaning Department, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, will the Beijing-Hangzhou Railway start construction tomorrow? Today is the Lantern Festival, and everyone is waiting to go home for the festival."

Zhu Kezang snorted: "Are you all waiting to go home for the holidays? Shouldn't they have already been at home for the holidays by this time?"

It was difficult for Tang Duanhuang to answer such a question. After looking at the emperor's face, he bravely explained: "The Ministry of Industry thought that the emperor might come to inspect the railway construction site, so everyone was asked to wait at the work station for the emperor. You can’t have a holiday until you leave Hangzhou.”

Zhu Kezang: "..."

This kind of preparation for inspection reminded Zhu Kezang of the days in later generations when people from above came to do a surprise cleaning. As a result, after the cleaning was completed, the people from above went to other units and left.

Now Zhu Kezang is facing such a similar situation. When the emperor comes, even the countryside below must be cleaned up. What if the emperor is happy and goes away?

This is called being prepared!

Zhu Kezang waved his hand and told Shen Cheng and Old Eunuch Li: "Try not to reveal your whereabouts when you go out in the future, don't cause trouble to the local area, and don't delay the normal rest of the people. If you do anything like this in the future, you will be severely punished!"

Shen Cheng and Old Eunuch Li bowed in response.

Concubine Chen suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes when looking at Zhu Kezang were still so bright and innocent.

Seeing her dying look, Zhu Kezang leaned down, took her hand and asked softly: "Concubine Chen, I'm here."

The General Administration of Manufacturing now has many of its own research projects, such as research on large flat glass in glass factories, research on tempered glass, research on high-permeability glass, research on new coke ovens in coking plants, and new artillery projects in foundry factories, etc. It was a high-precision technology that took Zhu Kezang away with a lot of silver coins!

Tang Duanhua also handed over his hand: "The emperor's compassion for the people is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"

I saw the queen, Concubine Chen, lying quietly on the big bed with her eyes closed, her face very pale, and even her lips were completely bloodless.

There are also many people looking around near the newly built train station, wanting to see the novelty of this locomotive.

It's a pity that the Beijing-Hangzhou Railway has not been repaired yet, otherwise there would be many people experiencing the train.

There were many people in the main hall of Kunning Palace. A baby's cry was heard, and everyone in the hall was immediately overjoyed.

After giving birth to the prince, Queen Chen Concubine was strictly protected, and Zhu Kezang also changed the bodyguards and royal guards of Queen Chen Concubine, and stipulated that they should be changed every year.

I heard the wet nurse say happily: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen, the baby is a prince!"

Zhu Kezang was shocked and rushed to Kunning Palace immediately.

Then, her ardent eyes stared at the child held by the wet nurse, and asked feebly but nervously: "Is it a boy or a girl?

Tang Duanhuang agreed very much with this: "What the emperor said is that in fact, during the construction of the Hangzhou section, many workers below proposed many improvements that improved efficiency. As for the research machine that the emperor mentioned, Huang Luzhuang of the General Administration of Manufacturing is studying one. This track-laying car is inspired by the cranes used in coal yards and docks. It uses train steam engines as power. The sleepers and rails are assembled on the train. It can be transported to the location at one time, which can save manpower!"

However, Zhu Kezang's descendants are difficult to arrange. After all, he became a monk halfway and was not a true descendant of the Zhu family.

Zhu Kezang went back to the palace directly. In recent days, Concubine Chen has reached her due date, and Zhu Kezang is still waiting to see the child.

In choosing this name, many ministers could see Zhu Kezang's ardent hope for his son!

If there is no accident, the prince must be him!

Zhu Kezang didn't care about anything. He didn't look at anyone at the door and walked into the Nuan Pavilion quickly.

On this day, when Zhu Kezang was handling political affairs in his study, the official daughter of Kunning Palace rushed over and said in an excited voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen is about to give birth!"

On the day of the Ming Dynasty, the whole world celebrated, and the hearts of the people were put back into their stomachs, especially those who followed Zhu Kezang to conquer the country. If Zhu Kezang has an heir, it means that their wealth and title will be continued.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Railway is the railway from Yingtianfu to Hangzhou.

Zhu Kezang wanted to name him Zhu Yiming, which means talented and outstanding. It means being knowledgeable and memorizing, far-sighted and outstanding.

Zhu Kezang ignored this flattery: "During railway construction, use your brain more and study machines more. If workers have good ideas to save time and labor, invent useful tools, and improve certain parts, they must

Encouragement should be rewarded. Railways are a new thing. Don’t think that the regulations are correct. Everything is still in the exploratory stage. You must be brave enough to try and make mistakes. In the end, the Beijing-Hangzhou Railway is still a test line. It must be continuously improved before it can be used in large-scale railway construction.

.”

Therefore, according to his seniority, Zhu Kezang could only choose the generation with the character "yi", and the last character must be accompanied by the character "gold".

Not only Zhu Kezang was waiting, many people throughout the Ming Dynasty were eagerly looking forward to the birth of the emperor's eldest son.

The carriage started to move, and Zhu Kezang set off to respond to Tianfu at about three o'clock in the afternoon. Most of the people who wanted to build the railway had dispersed.

The people of Hangzhou Prefecture are not afraid of this new thing called train!

They had heard about it in Huangming Daily. The emperor often sat in Chengtian Mansion, where he was very safe!

Zhu Kezang heard that this thing looked like the track-laying machines of later generations: "Very good, don't be afraid of difficulties. I think it is feasible and will report it to the Ministry of Finance to approve research funds for you."

On the eighth day of February in the fifth year of Shenwu in the Ming Dynasty, Concubine Chen successfully gave birth to the eldest son of the Ming Emperor.

This year Zhu Kezang was twenty-four years old and the crown prince of Ming Dynasty was born, which means that the crown prince came of age when Zhu Kezang was forty-two years old.

According to the naming rules of the Ming Dynasty royal family, the characters "Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Chang You, Ci He Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jing Di Xian You" were formulated starting from Yongle, and then the radicals of the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood were stipulated.

A wet nurse was holding an infant child beside her. Zhu Kezang ran straight to Concubine Chen without even looking at the child.

After all, what do they have to worry about when the emperor has already sat on it? Besides, the emperor has already sat on the same seat as the emperor. It will be a source of conversation in the future, right?

At the imperial meeting on March 1st, Zhu Kezang named the emperor's eldest son Zhu Yiming the crown prince and declared March 1st every year as Children's Day.

The overt and covert fights in the palace have always been bloody. Zhu Kezang was deeply influenced by later TV dramas and was afraid that something would happen within the palace. Originally, the Ming Dynasty was in good order, but was suddenly dragged down by palace fighting.

For the safety of the crown prince, Zhu Kezang helped him choose his personal eunuchs.

In addition, in order to prevent the emergence of wet nurses like Hakka, the wet nurses who breastfeed the prince also have a prescribed working time. Each person can only nurse for half a year, and the prince must be weaned when he is one and a half years old.

All the wet nurses who had fed him had left the palace to make a living and were not allowed to stay with the prince.

Zhu Kezang thought of everything he could think of and formulated everything he could stipulate. Since the birth of the prince, the inner palace has formulated and promulgated a rule almost every day, which is so scary that even the inner palace is afraid of violating the system!
