The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 358 I Have a Son (4000 words)
This sword is still in its infancy.

According to those swordsmiths, when this sword follows him to unify the world and becomes the symbol of the Ming Dynasty and a national treasure, its power will increase greatly.

He raised the sword and gently stroked the bright iron blade with a light golden color with his fingers.

The sword is three feet six inches long, one inch and six inches wide, and the hilt is nine inches long.

It looks extremely domineering and noble.

The more Zhu Houzhao looked at it, the more satisfied he became. With a thought, two words appeared at the junction of the sword body and the hilt.

Holy

武

"Groan~!"

The long sword hummed softly, as if it was happy that it had a name.

"Hahaha, from today on, you are my sword.

I will lead you to unify the world and establish an unprecedented great cause.

Let you follow me and your name will be remembered forever." Zhu Houzhao laughed.

The sword chanting became louder, and the sharp aura seemed to cut through the space.

After returning to the volcano, the swordsmiths no longer cared about anything else and asked Zhu Houzhao about the news of the Shengwu Sword, looking extremely excited and excited.

As swordsmiths, this sword, which was destined to be the best sword in the world, was forged by them. This honor and sense of accomplishment made them all feel like they were drunk.

They didn't care about the majesty of Emperor Shengwu and wanted to know every detail of the Shengwu Sword.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care and just took out the sword to show them.

The swordsmiths tried to touch it with trembling hands, but were directly shaken by the Holy Martial Sword and were shocked back.

This was because he sensed that these people had no ill intentions, and Zhu Houzhao took timely control.

Otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as just being shaken back.

The magic sword has spirit, and this is not just talk.

Finally, it was Zhu Houzhao who controlled the magic sword and calmed it down, allowing the swordsmiths to take a good look at it for a while.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao expressed his reward on the spot, left with the Shengwu Sword and the scabbard that had been prepared long ago, and returned to the capital.

As soon as he returned to the capital, Zhu Houzhao showed off his Shengwu Sword to others.

All the concubines, court officials, and eunuchs, anyone familiar to him, were not spared.

Everyone cooperated very well and kept showing off the Holy Martial Sword.

For more than a month, Zhu Houzhao carried the Shengwu Sword with him wherever he went to cultivate its spirituality.

And use your own strength to constantly become familiar with it and integrate with it.

What made him even more itchy was that there was no opponent for him to draw his sword and chop.

Now, what he wanted most was for a more powerful celestial being to come out and cause trouble for him so that he could try out his sword.

Unfortunately not.

All the celestial beings in the world were very honest. They did not show up, let alone cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty.

In the process of Ming Dynasty's vigorous reform and reckless charge, it can be said that it was pushing forward all the way.

Even if there were some minor disturbances, there was no need for Zhu Houzhao to take action personally.

All in all, the powerful people in the world, including the various countries, seem to have a deep understanding of reality.

They all had a tacit understanding and retreated, not confronting the Ming Dynasty head-on.

Then he took the time to do something in secret.

In May, another piece of good news spread.

Qin Mengyao is pregnant.

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, and all the civil and military officials in the court were even happier.

Now that they have the second dragon species, they don’t have to worry about anything at all.

The concubines in the harem became more and more envious.

Especially Yao Yue and Luo Xian.

They were also at the level of grandmasters, and arrived earlier than Qin Mengyao. They also drank the medicine prescribed by Cheng Lingsu to regulate their bodies.

Unexpectedly, I’m still not as fast as Qin Mengyao.

The two girls looked at their still flat stomachs and felt helpless.

If you can't get pregnant, you can't get pregnant. It's purely bad luck. There is really nothing you can do about it.

The ninth year of Shengwu passed day by day, and the reforms in Xijiu Road and Sui territory were progressing in full swing.

Zhu Houzhao's depression at having no rival was gradually dispelled by Cheng Lingsu's growing belly.

By August, the originally expected date of pregnancy, there was no sign of any movement.

Zhu Houzhao was a little anxious, but Cheng Lingsu was not at all anxious. She calmly told her husband, "Your Majesty, your strength is too strong, and your bloodline is too powerful. The child needs more time to grow."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he became complacent and was no longer anxious.

In fact, the outer court was also paying attention to this matter. By August, there was still no movement, and many people were a little worried.

After Cheng Lingsu's words spread, everyone expressed their agreement.

Your Majesty's dragon seed must indeed be different from that of ordinary people, so it is normal to be pregnant for a longer period of time.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-September again, and the little one, who had been pregnant for eleven and a half months, was finally born.

"Wow~!"

The childish cry seemed to break the peace in the palace in an instant.

"Hahaha~!"

The loudest one, of course, was the father Zhu Houzhao.

The laughter was so loud that it seemed to spread throughout the world.

"Where is my child?" Without caring about anything, he rushed into the delivery room with his huge body, shouting and yelling.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your prince charming!" The midwife and several palace maids immediately saluted in unison.

The little prince, already wrapped up, was also presented.

"Son." Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and he took the little guy with his big hands.

Holding it with one hand and poking the little face with fingers with the other hand, it was very novel.

The next moment, his brows furrowed: "Why is this little guy so ugly?"

"Your Majesty, all babies are like this when they are born. It will be fine in a few days." The midwife said respectfully.

"Oh." Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized, his eyes slightly moved downward, and he used his fingers to push aside the quilt, revealing the little thing.

He stretched out his thick and long fingers, flicked them, and laughed in amusement: "It's really a son."

"Wow~!"

The little guy started crying immediately.

Zhu Houzhao was startled and quickly handed the baby to the midwife: "The little one is crying, you come and comfort him."

"Yes." The midwife replied, and after taking the little prince in two or three places, he stopped crying.

Zhu Houzhao smiled, took the little guy again, and walked to Cheng Lingsu's bed with him in his arms.

"Lingsu, this is our son. When he grows up, I will teach him myself.

You will definitely become a great hero like me in the future." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Although there was a hint of fatigue between Cheng Lingsu's brows, he was in the innate realm after all, and was also a master of medical skills, so his overall spirit was still good.

I saw everything that happened just now.

Lying on the bed, he reached out to take his son, looked at him happily for a few seconds, then nodded and smiled gently: "Well, he will be fine."

Zhu Houzhao nodded heavily and said something else. The midwife reminded that it was time for the little prince and the queen to rest.

Zhu Houzhao left with some reluctance.

As soon as he went out, looking at all the concubines who had arrived, Zhu Houzhao suppressed his voice and laughed: "Lingsu gave me a son. I have a son now."

The concubines who had heard the voices from the inner room long ago said in unison with envy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of the prince."

"Haha." Zhu Houzhao continued to hold back his laughter and said, "Let's go, Lingsu and the little one need to rest, let's leave and not disturb them."

The concubines nodded, and the group left Cheng Lingsu's palace. As soon as they left, Zhu Houzhao no longer cared, and his laughter spread with his dragon-like and tiger-like steps.

The laughter seemed to be spiritual, but it avoided Cheng Lingsu's palace.

"Hahaha, I have a son."

"You don't know, when my father was still alive, he really wanted to see me have a child, and he even said that he would take care of the child for me and leave all the state affairs to me.

Haha, if my father knew that I have a son and another one in my belly, he would be so happy that he would be speechless.

Our father——"

Zhu Houzhao, who was talking to the concubines, was suddenly stunned and his face quickly became somewhat sad.

He immediately said, "I have to take my son and tell my father that I have a son."

"Your Majesty, don't be sad. My father would be very happy to hear that the emperor's grandson was born. He would not want to see your Majesty sad.

As for taking the prince to see his father, we should wait a few days until the prince is older." Jin Bingyun said softly.

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and felt that the little guy was indeed too small.

These days, he also learned a lot about children.

It is not advisable to carry a newborn baby out for a walk to avoid getting sick.

Although Daming had already made all kinds of preparations to raise this little guy, there would definitely be no problem.

But you should wait a few days.

"Well, I'll wait a few days before taking him there.

But I have to tell my father right away that I have a son." Zhu Houzhao nodded and said impatiently.

After saying this, he waved to the concubines and ran away.

The concubines didn't say much and dispersed with envy.

Zhu Houzhao stayed in front of his father's mausoleum for a quarter of an hour, and then returned to the palace and laughed, "Spread the news that I have a son throughout the world immediately.

I want everyone in the world to know that I have a son."

"Yes."

With this order, the news of the birth of Emperor Shengwu's eldest son quickly spread throughout the world.

Most people in the Ming Dynasty were happy.

The other countries were somewhat disappointed.

It would have been great if Emperor Shengwu had never had a son.

Of course, this can only be thought but not spoken.

While disappointed, they immediately prepared envoys and gifts to go to the Ming Dynasty to congratulate.

Although it is just the birth of a prince, it is still unknown whether this prince can grow up.

But at this time no one dared not to give gifts.

Anyone who dares not to give gifts will definitely be remembered by the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Shengwu.

All the countries in the world have seen through it.

September 24th was Zhu Houzhao’s 21st birthday.

He specially brought the little one and his whole family to Zhu Youtang's tomb on this day.

Holding the sleeping little guy in his left hand, Zhu Houzhao looked at the tombstone and laughed, "Dad, I brought your grandson and daughter-in-law to see you.

When you were alive, you always said you wanted to see me get married and have children.

Now I have fifteen wives, a son, and a baby in my belly.

In the future, I will have more children, one for each wife, at least a dozen in total.

I will also train them all to become great heroes, and together they will govern the world with me and their names will be passed down through the ages.

Dad, you are not a great hero, but it doesn’t matter, you have an unprecedented great hero son.

There will be at least a dozen grandchildren of great heroes, and you will also be famous through the ages."

“Dad, you and mom are living well down there, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Although you have only one son, he is invincible and can defeat one hundred thousand, one million, or even tens of millions of them.

You still have many grandchildren who will support you in the future.

But I’m afraid your grandson and I don’t know when we will go to the underground to find you.

But don’t be afraid. If anyone dares to bully you, just send him to me in your dreams.

I will punish those who bully you and your relatives on earth.

You should remember those people first, and when I find you, I will avenge you and tear apart those who dared to bully you."

"Dad, take a good look at your grandson. He has grown up to be handsome, white and plump.

When you meet my mother in the underworld, tell her about your grandson.

Forget it, I guess you don’t even know my mother.”

"Dad, I have named your grandson Zhu Zaitian, the next son Zhu Zaidi, the third Zhu Zaixuan, and the fourth Zhu Zaihuang.

Next are yu, zhou, hong and huang.

I haven’t thought about what to do next yet, I’ll talk about it later.

First, tell me the names of your eight grandchildren.

Rule the sky, rule the earth...

The vast universe and the earth have all been slaughtered by your grandchildren.

How about it, domineering, right?

This is a name I have been thinking about for a long time."

“Originally, I didn’t care about the generations established by Taizu.

But the name of this generation, Zai, is not bad, it sounds almost the same as Zai, so I used it.

But as for the third word, it must contain the character "土", so I have no use for it.

The names given by the ministers are difficult to recognize and write, and not domineering at all.

My son, of course, must have a domineering reputation.

I don’t care about the rules.”

"Hahaha, Dad, you are far inferior to me. You can't become a great hero or a good emperor, not only because you have poor talent and even weaker strength, but also because you are not smart, and you don't have courage or resolution.

It's because you always stick to those broken rules and don't dare to break them, making people think you're easy to bully..."

Zhu Houzhao held his son in his arms and kept talking, sometimes happily, sometimes proudly, and sometimes a little sadly.

He was so excited that he was dancing with his hands and feet.

However, Zhu Houzhao deliberately used his strength to isolate his son so that his son could not hear any sound or feel any movement, and he always slept well.

Behind him were the concubines, including Cheng Lingsu.

Being in the innate state, she didn't need to observe the confinement period. She would be basically fully recovered after resting for two or three days.

They listened carefully and just smiled when they heard their husbands' outrageous words.

When I heard the name sounded domineering, I just smiled helplessly.

My own Majesty and husband, he is domineering in everything.

There were some words that they couldn't understand.

For example, how could Dad not recognize Mom?

They already knew who their Majesty's biological mother was, and it was not the Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace.

But there was no specific news, and they did not deliberately inquire about anything.

As they guessed, His Majesty's biological mother should have passed away long ago.

The late emperor only loved Empress Dowager Zhang and probably had long forgotten the woman who gave birth to Your Majesty.

This may be the reason why Your Majesty said so.

I sighed slightly in my heart, lamenting the misfortune of Your Majesty's biological mother, and also lamenting the late emperor's devotion and ruthlessness.
