Chapter 383 My son’s name is Aokiji
In the Ou Mansion, with the help of Master Ding Xian, Liu Qing recovered a lot, but was still in confinement.
The practice of confinement can be traced back to the "Book of Rites" in the Western Han Dynasty, where it was called "Yuenei" and is the key to helping mothers safely get through the period after giving birth.
When Ou Zanghua walked into the backyard, he heard Madam Ouyang discussing with Master Dingxian and Female Doctor Tan about the matters that Liu Qing needed to pay attention to during her confinement.
"According to the rules of the older generation, you can't brush your teeth, you can't take a bath, you can't eat raw or cold food, and you can't eat spicy or dry food during the confinement period. Is there anything else?" Mrs. Ouyang asked.
"There's no need to be so strict with the rules. Just adjust according to Qingqing's physical condition." Master Dingxian said with a wry smile after hearing this.
"That's even better!" Madam Ouyang nodded with a smile and said, "With Master here, we will all listen to you."
Ou Zanghua did not interfere with the two of them, but walked straight into the room. Seeing Liu Qing holding the baby and feeding it, he was stunned and stood at the door waiting.
After a while, the little guy was full. A nanny came forward, picked up the little guy from Liu Qing's arms, patted his back gently, and burped him.
This nanny was specially sent by the Queen to help Liu Qing take care of the baby. She was a veteran in the palace, but there were no newborns in the palace in recent years, so she was sent to various ministers' homes to help, so her skills have always been there.
Ou Zanghua walked in only after Liu Qing had adjusted her shirt.
"Husband, you're back!" Liu Qing looked at Ou Zanghua, her eyes full of joy.
"Well, how was your day?" Ou Zanghua asked with a smile, hugging Liu Qing.
"It's much better than yesterday. I think I can go out in a few days, but my mother and Master Dingxian want me to stay in confinement for 30 days. How can I endure this?" Liu Qing said, and couldn't help pouting.
Then she looked at Ou Zanghua with bright eyes and asked, "Husband, have you thought of a name for the child?"
"Just call you Ou Qing. Take my last name and your first name." Ou Zanghua glanced at the little guy in the nanny's arms and said with a smile.
Liu Qing was stunned, and couldn't help hugging Ou Zanghua. She was very happy, but also a little nervous and asked: "Is it not rigorous enough?"
"No! Qing means small bamboo. Bamboo is elegant and graceful, slender and soft, and evergreen."
Ou Zanghua paused and said with joy: "There is no better name than this."
"Ou Qing." Liu Qing looked at the little thing and said happily, "Then let's call it Aokiji!"
"Aokiji?" Ou Zanghua was embarrassed, and an image of a tall, lazy man wearing a white suit vest, a dark blue shirt and a righteous navy coat immediately appeared in his mind.
"Yes!"
Liu Qing nodded and said, "Brother, have you forgotten? I told you when I was a kid that I saw a bird about the size of a pheasant in the back mountain of Nanyue. Its neck was gray, its neck was white and gray, and its face was bright red. When I came back, I asked my husband what bird it was, and he said it was a blue pheasant, with the blood of a phoenix, and seeing it would bring me good luck."
"I hope Aokiji can grow up healthily like Aokiji."
Ou Zanghua was stunned for a moment, then he remembered this incident. At that time, he was still thinking about learning martial arts to protect his teacher's family, so when Xiao Liuqing asked him about it, he made up a story.
Now that I think about it, I guess what Xiao Liuqing saw was a national first-class protected animal - the White-necked Long-tailed Pheasant.
"Husband, what do you think?" Liu Qing looked up at Ou Zanghua and asked expectantly.
"Okay! I like it too." Ou Zanghua thought of Aokiji, who was one of the top fighters in "One Piece" after all. According to the setting of doing push-ups in that world, Aokiji estimated that he could survive until the end.
After hearing this, Liu Qing happily teased the sleeping baby, tapped his face and called out, "Little Green Pheasant~"
Aokiji smacked his lips, seeming to be quite satisfied with the name. Liu Qing didn't notice that every time she called him Little Aokiji, Ou Zanghua's expression was a bit indescribable.
In mid-August, the capital city was hit by a rain, and the rain slid down the roofs, blurring the distant view.
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Zhengde sat here for a rare time. Chief Minister Yang Tinghe, Cabinet Minister Fei Hong, Marquis of Xianning Qiu Yue, Minister of War Lu Wan, Right Vice Minister of Rites Ou Zanghua and other court ministers were present.
In front of all the ministers, Emperor Zhengde said directly: "I just received news that Peng Qing has suffered from hemiplegia, cough, back pain and other diseases due to long-term fatigue in military affairs. He begged to retire to recuperate. I have rejected it. Recuperation is allowed, but retirement is not allowed."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Except for Lu Wan, no one else had any objection to this. Peng Ze was indeed a capable fighter among the civil officials.
With him around, everyone feels at ease.
Then, Emperor Zhengde took out a memorial and said indifferently: "In early July, Yibula led his people to Sichuan and sent envoys to the residence of Zhang Yi, the governor of Gansu, requesting to stay in the border area to graze and resume tribute."
"As a result, Zhang Yi used gold, silver and other valuables as bait to ask them to stay away from this place and migrate to a more distant place."
"It's so stupid!"
Emperor Zhengde slammed the memorial on the table and said coldly: "Does he think Yibula is a bandit? Can he buy peace by spending some money? Even so, he still has the nerve to report this as a victory report to the court!"
Ou Zanghua lowered his head and thought for a while. This was the grandson of Yesen, a powerful official of the Yibula Mongol dynasty. He had a conflict with his father over religious beliefs in his early years and eventually parted ways.
Later, he succeeded to the position of Grand Tutor of the Mongol Empire. However, because Dayan Khan abolished his position as Grand Tutor, he killed Jinong, who was appointed by Dayan Khan, and launched a rebellion, openly splitting with the Mongol Khan.
Zhang Yi didn't know this person's behavior, so he thought of solving the problem with money.
Ou Zanghua speculated that based on Yibula's character, he would most likely think that Zhang Yi was insulting him, thus causing chaos.
Yang Tinghe stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the governor of Gansu is responsible for assisting military affairs, planning military affairs for the generals and the officers of the military garrisons, and offering advice to the troops. He can also raise money to support the army and ensure that the military supplies are safe. He can also submit memorials to the emperor, explaining the gains and losses of military affairs and discussing the safety of border defense."
"I believe that relying on the words of one person to get a full picture of a place is often biased and leads to misjudgment."
"Rui Zhao, the first governor of Gansu Town, once pleaded guilty and admitted his fault for failing to cooperate with the army to strengthen the border defense and resist the enemy."
"The Censor Tian Deng once impeached Zhang Yi. More than half of the people in Gansu died, and the tribes in Hami invaded each other. All of these were Zhang Yi's faults. I beg for his execution to appease the people. However, Your Majesty did not take it to heart and only gave Zhang Yi a lenient punishment."
As expected of Lao Yang, he is really awesome.
You don't have to be surprised to hear this statement. It is a blatant accusation against Zhengde for messing around. If you had paid more attention and removed Zhang Yi at that time, this terrible thing wouldn't have happened.
After listening to this, Ou Zanghua couldn't help but wipe the sweat off Lao Yang's face. He looked up at Emperor Zhengde.
Sure enough, Boss Zhu looked very unhappy. He could explain that he did not punish Zhang Yi severely because he believed Liu Jin's lies at that time.
However, based on Emperor Zhengde's understanding of Yang Tinghe, he would definitely retort after hearing this explanation. At that time, the court was full of upright people, so why not trust Liu Jin? Isn't it your fault?
Therefore, Emperor Zhengde wisely chose to ask someone else: "Ou Qing, what do you think?"
'I'm just standing there watching!'
