Zhou Xian was still very satisfied with his craft. The sea bass was delicious and tasted just right. He tasted it carefully, and personally carried the plate to give it to his wife Princess Kunxing to taste.

But at this moment, Princess Kunxing's personal maid rushed over: "Mr. Princess, Princess, big, big things are wrong, princess, princess, princess, princess, princess..."

Zhou Xian's heart was pounding, and his hands holding the plate couldn't help but tremble: "What's wrong with the princess? Tell me quickly!"

The maid was so anxious that her forehead was sweating, her little face was red, and she said breathlessly: "Your Highness the Princess got up early in the morning, suddenly, she suddenly fainted, and, even more, was red."

With a 'bang!', the plate in Zhou Xian's hand fell to the ground. The whole person was spinning, the princess fainted, and her lower body was bleeding. How dangerous this is? You should know that ancient women gave birth to children was equivalent to walking in the gates of hell.

In ancient times, human lifespans were generally low, and both the people, the high-ranking officials and nobles, and even the royal relatives were ultimately not spared.

Especially the royal family, many emperors in history ended up having no children. For example, starting from the Han Dynasty, there were: Emperor Cheng of Han, the nephew of Emperor Ai, Emperor Ping, the heir of Emperor Ruziying, Ruziying, Emperor Shang, the heir of Emperor Liu Qingzi, Emperor An, Emperor An, former Shaodi, Emperor Chong, Emperor Zhi, Emperor Huan, and Emperor Shaodi.

The last emperors of Northern Qi and Northern Zhou were all children. Sui Dynasty: Emperor Gong and Yang Tong were both children. Tang Dynasty: Shao Emperor, Jingzong's younger brother Wenzong, Wenzong's younger brother Wuzong, Wuzong's younger brother Xuanzong, Xizong's younger brother Zhaozong and so on.

Even Emperor Renzong of Song, Emperor Zhezong, Emperor Gaozong, Emperor Ningzong, Emperor Lizong, Emperor Gongzong, Duanzong and Zhao Bing had no descendants.

But when it came to the Ming Dynasty, there were Daizong and the most interesting emperor Wuzong of Ming, including Emperor Chongzhen's elder brother Xizong, etc.

However, if you offend anyone, don’t offend those civil officials. If you put the standard template of the ancient emperor on Zhu Houzhao, you will definitely come to a conclusion. This is a debauchery and insane monarch. You just eat, drink, play around every day. You don’t handle official duties honestly, and you want to go out to experience life every day. Moreover, you also set up a place like “leopard room” in the palace. In the end, you also died in the leopard room. Therefore, in the past historical books, Zhu Houzhao received no high comments.

In fact, Emperor Wuzong was not as unbearable as recorded in history books. Even some were heroic. Zhu Houzhao was an emperor who pursued freedom. At the same time, he was also a talented emperor. He personally led his troops to fight and defeated the little Mongolian prince. During the war, he lived with soldiers and had a very civilian style. He handled disaster relief and relief affairs in an orderly manner.

But this playful emperor offended too many censors, as mentioned earlier. Many of these civil servants like to touch historical figures. Even the emperors, they would not let them go.

It's a bit far from going on. The reason why the lifespan of ancient times was short and the child's death rate was high is that there was no way, it was the limitations of this era.

According to incomplete statistics, the death rate of ancient people before the age of four is as high as 25%. Although this data is doubtful, it shows how dangerous the ancient people were in giving birth.

So many emperors in history did not end up having their own offspring, including those who had given birth to many children, but were not spared.

Although Princess Kunxing Zhu Mai, although she was careful and treated by the Imperial Hospital, even though she was the care of the prince-consor Zhou Xian, something happened in the end.

Zhou Xian was distracted and rushed to the princess' room. He walked along the way and couldn't help but pray: Bodhisattva bless him, bless His Highness the Princess, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life...

Due to the lack of historical data, we can only look at the history of the Qing Dynasty. Among the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, except for the last three emperors, there were no descendants. The first nine emperors had 195 children, and each emperor had an average of 21 children. This number is much higher than that of ordinary people. However, 81 people died under 20 years old, accounting for 42% of the total number. 74 people died at the age of 15, accounting for 38% of the total number. 68 people died at the age of 10, accounting for 35% of the total number.

Medical care in the Qing Dynasty had great progress than before, and even Western doctors came to China to practice medicine in the late Qing Dynasty. Even if the royal family was like this, how could we talk about ordinary people?

The same situation was also faced during the Ming Dynasty, such as the Princess Kunxing Zhu Ma. Zhou Xian saw her, she was already weak.

Zhou Xian hurriedly ran to Princess Kunxing and hugged her: "Princess, Princess, what's wrong with this? What's wrong with this?"

Zhou Xian's beloved wife was anxious and was in a hurry. Princess Kunxing's face was pale and she felt unbearable abdominal pain: "Mr., I, I'm afraid I won't do it."

When Zhou Xian heard this, he was so scared that he was scattered and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hurry, why don't you go and hire an imperial physician!"

...

Gongs and drums were loud and firecrackers were ringing. During the Ming Dynasty, firecrackers had entered thousands of households. Even the fireworks among the people were almost the same as modern times.

However, during the war, the court lacked black gunpowder. At one point, the court ordered that the people should ban fireworks from being set off. Later, with the large-scale mining of saltpeter mines in Laojun Mountain, Sichuan, and saltpeter mines discovered throughout the country. This ban was finally lifted, and the entire people returned to the lively scenes of the past.

Today is the happy day for Crown Prince Zhu Cilang to return to Beijing in triumphant return. Whether it is civil and military officials or ordinary people, they are celebrating and cheering each other.

This is a time worth celebrating. The Liaodong crisis was resolved and the grassland crisis was no longer there. The Ming Dynasty today has an unprecedented territory and is already vaguely comparable to Emperor Taizu Chengzu.

What’s important is that there is no more war in the border. The people have truly lived and worked in peace and contentment. Especially the development of the Great Bright Firearms has stood on the top of the world.

Such a prosperous era was created by the crown prince Zhu Cilang. Now that Zhu Cilang has returned triumphantly, how can the people not cheer or be unhappy?

Especially the high yield of crops has made the people more and more prosperous. It is said that beggars begging in the capital no longer care about brown rice and mixed grains, but yearn for white flour steamed buns and millet porridge.

You know, this was something I didn’t dare to think about before. In the past, beggars were just a luxury to be able to eat. Now, not only are they full but also picky. In fact, beggars appeared in the capital who specialize in begging for money. These beggars should not eat, they only need copper coins.
