Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling smug and thought that he had given his son a good name, Zhu Zhen rejected him directly.
"What? You don't want it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded. He stared at his strange son with wide eyes.
Of course, Zhu Zhen was unwilling to have his name changed. He knew that the names given to the descendants of the Zhu family followed the example of Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Song Dynasty. The format of the name was: surname generation given name. It was also stipulated that the name must be given with the radical of the five elements, which was metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and in the order of wood, fire, earth, and gold.
And Zhu Yuanzhang's sons were all named after the word "Mu".
Old Zhu named himself Zhu Xi. Firstly, he had a body fragrance. The fragrance of the fragrance plus the word 'Mu' became 'Xi.' This was understandable, but Zhu Zhen had his own name. Why did he have to come up with a name? Moreover, Zhu Zhen's original name was also in line with the standards of the old Zhu family.
"Father, I want to give myself a name.”
Zhu Zhen looked straight at Zhu Yuanzhang and said bluntly.
"What? You want to give yourself a name?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded. Everyone around him was also stunned when they heard this. Strange expressions fell on Zhu Zhen.
"Yes, sir!"
"Hehe, this is new. Someone actually gave himself a name. Alright, tell me, what name do you want to give yourself?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was curious. He looked at Zhu Zhen and asked. He felt that Zhu Zhen was quite interesting and was very different from the other princes.
"Let's call him Zhu Zhen. Next to the word 'Mu' is Qin, Zhu Zhen!
Zhu Zhen reported his original name. It was a coincidence that his own name also followed the rules of Old Zhu's naming. Therefore, Zhu Zhen could really be used.
"Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen, that sounds pretty good, and it's also in line with our Zhu family's naming rules. However, tell me, why do you call yourself Zhu Zhen?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised to hear that the name Zhu Zhen gave him was actually in line with the name rules of the Zhu family. Moreover, Zhu Zhen sounded very catchy and not a bad name. Therefore, he could not help but be curious. He looked at Zhu Zhen and asked, wondering why his freak son would give him such a name.
The others were also surprised. They did not expect Zhu Zhen to really give himself a name.
For a moment, the expressions of Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi became a little strange. To be honest, their names were really a little strange. They didn't know how Old Zhu came up with them. Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, it sounded strange.
Compared to the name Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen sounded much better.
"It's simple. Hazel has the meaning of flourishing vegetation. I possess the body fragrance, and the body fragrance is similar to vegetation. This means that I have an affinity with vegetation. Therefore, hazel leaves and peach blossoms were beautiful. I named myself Zhu Zhen to let myself grow up healthily. What does father think?”
Zhu Zhen raised his head and told Zhu Yuanzhang why he named himself Zhu Zhen.
Of course, his name had nothing to do with his body fragrance. The name Zhu Zhen was actually given by his grandfather. At that time, he was weak and sickly when he was young, so his grandfather wanted him to grow up healthily, so he named him Zhu Zhen. He did not expect that this excuse would be used one day.
"Hazel leaves, burning peach blossoms, beautiful.”
"Hahahaha, good, good, good name. Hahaha, I didn't expect that the name my son gave himself would be more cultured than ours.”
When Old Zhu heard this, he was so happy. He looked at Zhu Zhen and was overjoyed.
Obviously, this Zhu Zhen was ten thousand times better than the Zhu Xi he had named.
"Brother, this name is indeed good. Zhu Zhen means luxuriant, and hazelnut means firm.”
Zhu Biao was a Confucian scholar, so he could hear another meaning behind it and immediately praised.
"It's indeed not bad!"
Zhu Di nodded.
The others agreed.
"Biao 'er is right, it also has the meaning of perseverance. My son's name is good!”
"Alright, that's it. From now on, you'll be called Zhu Zhen. Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen, hahaha, Old Thirteen, from now on, you'll be called Zhu Zhen.”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said happily.
"Wait…"
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was still laughing heartily when Zhu Zhen interrupted him.
"What's wrong, child?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zhen. At this moment, he did not find Zhu Zhen strange. Instead, he treated him like a treasure. This child was strange and beautiful. He had an immortal aura. At this moment, Old Zhu seriously suspected that this was the Lin 'er that the heavens had given him.
In addition, Zhu Zhen's spiritual medicine body made people feel close to him, so Old Zhu liked Zhu Zhen very much now.
"Father, I should be the eldest. I was born in the first year of Hongwu, but I stayed in mother's stomach for a long time. How can you let me die at the age of thirteen?”
Zhu Zhen expressed that there was a problem with his order.
Zhu Zhen came to the Ming Dynasty in the first year of Hongwu. According to seniority, he should be the eighth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. However, because he had stayed in Empress Ma's stomach for a long time, he was born five years later. If he was born, he was indeed the thirteenth.
However, Zhu Zhen did not want to be the 13th. He wanted to be the 8th. The 8th was so good. Fa, 13th. It reminded him of the 13th and he felt a little offended.
"Um…"
"This…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded again. However, after careful calculation, it seemed to be true.
"Father, that seems to be the case.”
Zhu Biao nodded. Logically speaking, Zhu Zhen should be five years old now. It was true that he had just been born today, but the problem was that he had already lived for five years. It was just that he was in his stomach.
"Eh, alright, then you'll be Eighth Brother. Eighth Brother Zhu Zhen, hahaha, good, good.”
"Since I've already given you a name, I might as well give you a title of nobility. How about this, I'll give you the title of King of Wei.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up as he looked at Zhu Zhen.
"Alright, what capital is good? Thank you, Imperial Father.”
Zhu Zhen giggled. He was quite happy in his heart. He did not expect that a modern person like him would run to ancient times and become a vassal king.
One had to know that the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty had real power. This was unlike the vassal kings of the Song Qing Dynasty who had no power at all.
"No, doesn't that mean we have to be wary of Zhu Yunwen, that little bastard?”
