Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"Ohhh, okay, mom."

Zhang Xin was very happy about this. She felt that the late emperor had gone too far in correcting the wrongs.

"Then I'm done. Xin'er has no objection. I'll teach Xiaopang lessons at night from now on. The bookmarked ones are the homework for the past ten days. You have to read them too."

Xu was very satisfied. She stood up and stretched, then handed the "Zizhi Tongjian" on the desk to Zhang Xin.

"Okay, mother, I will watch carefully. Besides, can I make a request on behalf of Zhanji?"

Zhang Xin also stood up, took the book respectfully, and asked again.

"Go ahead."

"Children also love to play. How about taking a break every five or ten days?"

"Ten days, let Xiaopang go back to Yande Palace to sleep."

"Yes, mother, mother is so kind——"

"Go away, stop being clingy!!! Even Fatty Zhu doesn't do that!!!"

"I'm Zhang Xiaohuabei."

Zhang Xin held her face and bared her teeth.

"...at least be cute with Chi'er! What's the point of acting like a spoiled child to me every day!!"

Xu's face was filled with black lines.

"The prince will only call me a fool."

Zhang Xin didn't want to at all.

"I don't know how many women will be stuffed into the prince's mansion by then. You better be careful. If a man starts to be tempted by other women, he will be struck by lightning faster than the sky."

Xu was not happy.

"Hahahaha, you're so fickle, mom, you're making me laugh to death."

"Fuck it, isn't it?"

Xu hit Zhang Xin.

"It's enough that my mother loves me! I don't care if there's lightning or thunder!"

Zhang Xin is full of confidence.

"Virtue!!! Go ahead, your father, you have to be here today anyway."

Xu was helpless, pinched Zhang Xin's face and urged her to leave.

"Okay, what would you like to eat tonight, pot?"

Zhang Xin touched the flesh on her face as if she felt heartache and asked again.

"Naughty! Eat roasted whole lamb!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xin walked out of the gate of Xiaode Palace very happily, turned around to give instructions for what to eat in the evening, and strode towards Yande Palace.

The scenery in winter is naturally not very good.

Only on the leafless and black branches were hung streaks of white snow, baring their fangs and claws on both sides of the road.

The Prince of Yan's Mansion, which had not undergone major renovations, was actually more comfortable for Zhang Xin to live in than the later Forbidden City.

The several palaces occupied by their family were not far from each other, and they would warm up their bodies by walking around every day.

There are trees, flowers and grass on both sides of the alley connecting the palace.

Unlike the Forbidden City, where people come and go in silence.

Living in the Forbidden City, there is only a small, narrow piece of sky when you look up.

During the last few years, every time Zhang Xin looked up at the sky, she felt sad.

Her previous life was just like this, muddled and she felt sad from time to time.

Then she had to get up early the next morning to deal with things she didn't want to deal with at all.

The sky is very big and blue at this moment.

There are also people who raise pigeons and release a bunch of pigeons to fly in the sky from time to time.

She looked up, smiled, and even her breathing became smoother.

Now that the problem of Zhu Zhanji's early death has been solved, she actually doesn't have any deep hatred or grudges to hold.

The early death of the second son and the eldest daughter had to wait until she was born.

Now that this small world has changed so much, the fate of the second son and the eldest daughter should also change a lot. We can only take it one step at a time.

Apart from many wars and high expenses, my father-in-law's Yongle Dynasty did not have any major turmoil.

Because my father-in-law is strong enough, he suppresses all potential problems and no one dares to raise them.

As soon as my father-in-law died, all kinds of problems arose.

The Hongxi Dynasty after Zhu Gaochi took over, the Xuande Dynasty of his son Zhu Zhanji, and the Zhengtong period of his grandson Zhu Qizhen.

They're all like balls of twine.

It seems that no one is satisfied.

The people were poor, the officials were in distress, the finances were in difficulty, natural disasters occurred frequently, and foreign races invaded the border.

Geng, Li, Xu and Guo joined forces to solve a problem that Zhang Xin had been thinking about for several years.

This tangled mess of hemp rope was deliberately messed up by the civil officials.

Especially when her son died and Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, she was assisting in the administration.

Zhu Qizhen knew nothing. He had always been in the deep palace, and his ears and eyes were all the civil officials around him.

No matter what the actual situation is, they can exaggerate it or hide it.

They wanted her to be dependent on them.

The previous Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to die if he did not rely on them.

If Zhanji's death was caused by the civil officials.

Then the deaths of the second son and the eldest daughter must be the same.

The second son was not as talented as Zhu Zhanji, but he was not bad either.

Before Zhang Xin supported Zhu Qizhen in order to maintain orthodoxy, many people in the court believed that the succession could be passed from brother to younger brother.

In the fourth year of Zhengtong, Zhu Qizhen was already 14 years old. But Zhang Xin did not let Zhu Qizhen rule the country.

She was indeed very dissatisfied with Zhu Qizhen, who favored and indulged the eunuchs around him, had a weak personality, was fond of listening to slander, and was lazy about having fun.

Even Empress Sun couldn't control him.

If Zhang Xin had been more decisive at the time, she could have deposed Zhu Qizhen and let her second son succeed to the throne.

In order to prevent Zhang Xin from suddenly waking up, he became decisive.

So, the second son died.

The man the eldest daughter married, Julu Hou Jingyuan, was originally a scholar, but he had been fond of martial arts since childhood. When he grew up, he joined the army and married the eldest daughter only after he had made many military achievements.

One is the emperor's uncle who may endanger the throne, and the other is the eldest princess who is inclined towards military merit.

Naturally, they have to be eliminated one by one.

What's more, nothing can defeat an old man in the palace who has always stood firm.

The children died one after another.

As expected, she couldn't bear it and died after forcing herself to hold on for four years.

This time, Zhu Qizhen was finally completely under their control.

From beginning to end, no one's death was accidental, and no one's death could be directly attributed to a murderer.

It's just a chain of coincidences that eventually cause their target person to suffer from sudden illness, acute disease, or accident.

Even the fact that she did not allow Zhu Qizhen to take power was part of the plan of those behind the scenes.

The story was passed around and evolved into many unbearable versions by the literati.

Finally, she had no choice but to let Zhu Qizhen take power in the sixth year of Zhengtong.

Even so, there are still many rumors that the Empress Dowager is secretly controlling the government in the palace, and everyone is advised to be careful about the Wu Zhou incident happening again.

What happened in the court and the palace was known to everyone on the street.

He also instigated a group of students to write big-character posters in the Imperial College, calling on the Empress Dowager to return power.

Now Zhang Xin finds it ridiculous when she thinks about it.

She was really stupid back then.

But, without the silliness of those years, there would be no happiness like now——
