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

"My sister-in-law hurriedly made a cushion for your saddle. I'll bring it over for you to use."

Zhang Sheng took a package off his horse and handed it over.

"Thank sister-in-law for me. Can everyone adapt?"

Zhang Xin smiled and asked after someone took the things.

"fine. "

Zhang Sheng didn’t think it was a big deal anyway.

Travel with the Emperor and Empress.

This, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?

All supplies are sufficient.

The traffic was moving extremely slowly, and no one was suffering, it was as if they were just going out for fun.

His brother Zhang Chang, with his two captains Tang and Lin, performed great service in this rearguard action. After Zhu Di's army left, they firmly pinned down the Shandong garrison.

They were also the first to discover the arrival of Timur's army.

As soon as Zhu Di came back this time, his entire rear guard was sent to the Beijing camp.

So this time, Zhang Xin moved the entire palace to the capital, and they did the same.

Take all your family and belongings with you on the road.

Zhang Chang and his men were all military personnel, and their main responsibility was to protect the emperor and empress.

As for his family, Zhang Chang could only ask Zhang Sheng to help take care of them.

"How about you? Are you okay? What are your plans for the future?"

Zhang Xin asked again.

"I'm fine too. I'll go back to Peking after this trip is over."

Zhang Sheng knew what his sister was asking.

My eldest brother is already a thousand households.

It would mean nothing if he wasn't in the military.

But he felt good about it.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

My eldest brother has encountered many inconveniences since he joined the army. The same goes for my younger sister. As the Crown Prince's Consort and will be the Crown Princess in the future, it will be very troublesome for her to go out.

He doesn't hold any title, so he is much freer.

"It has to be what the second brother thinks is really good. If the second brother wants to be like the eldest brother, I can still have a say."

Zhang Xin thought about it for a moment and gave only one answer.

They are all her brothers, and she wants them to have a proper career in this life, rather than just wasting their lives with empty titles.

Now the eldest brother has found his position and is highly valued by his father-in-law.

Then the second brother must be able to do it too.

It depends on whether my second brother wants it or not.

"I know! Sister is awesome. The little girl of Brother Tang looks a lot like you when you were a child."

Zhang Sheng knew that girls would not say anything they were not sure about, but since he felt comfortable at the moment, he decided to stay like this.

We'll talk about it later if he changes his mind.

It was the girl's serious expression that made him mention the little girl in Mr. Tang's family.

"how old are you?"

"One year younger than my eldest nephew. Born in the 31st year of Hongwu. It was because of my little girl that my eldest brother Tang moved to Peking. He is so naughty now, always asking to ride a horse and climbing a tree whenever he sees one."

Zhang Sheng wanted to laugh whenever he thought of the little girl. She looked delicate and soft, but her personality was exactly like Zhang Xin when she was a child.

"Bring him here later to keep Zhanji company. If there are any others who are similar, bring them here."

Zhang Xin became a little interested.

Her son is mature in every way, and she has always wanted to find him some friends of the same age.

But the two children of Ning Wang's family didn't get along with Zhanji.

From the look on Zhanji's face, she knew that he would look down upon anyone who was not smart enough.

At this time, Zhang Chang knows the children of these people under his command very well.

If we screen them along the way, maybe we can find a few study companions when we arrive in the capital?

"Oh, well, Captain Lin's family also has a little boy, the same age as Zhanji. Maybe they can get along well. He's very gentle and polite."

Zhang Sheng went over it in his mind and only added one.

The number of family members he escorted was not small, and there were many children as well.

But not everyone is suitable to be brought here to play with the nephew who might be the crown prince.

"Second brother will arrange it. Bring it here for me to see when it's almost done."

"it is good."

Zhang Sheng rode back, and Zhang Xin did not return to the carriage. She said goodbye to Xu and went to see Zhu Anle.

Among these sisters-in-law, Zhu Anle is just like herself. She is stupid and can't see the people around her clearly. On top of that, she is the daughter of an emperor and has no choice.

Song Sheng's son, Song Xuan, is not good-looking, and there is also a son who was left behind by his father. Zhu Anle took on the role of a mother as soon as she entered the house.

Compared to my previous life, it’s nothing.

It turns out that Zhu Anle married Song Hu, a person whose character Zhang Xin doesn’t even want to comment on…

The story begins with Song Sheng.

In the previous life, when my father-in-law led his army to attack Nanjing, Zhu Yunwen had mobilized Song Sheng's troops to come to the rescue, but he "slowed down the advance" and watched the Jianwen Dynasty fall.

After his father-in-law ascended the throne, Song Sheng immediately went to the capital to pay homage to the new emperor and was appointed as the Left Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army Commandery.

There is no doubt that Song Sheng has definitely been his father-in-law's person for a long time.

This is pretty much how it’s going to be in this life.

The difference is that in this life, Song Sheng’s actual eldest son Song Xuan did not die in battle for Zhu Yunwen.

Song Sheng had seven sons in total.

The eldest son was not born to the first wife and died early.

The second son was Song Xuan, also born to a concubine.

The third son was the legitimate son of the first wife, and died early like the eldest son.

The eldest son and the legitimate son are both gone. Basically, if Song Sheng is granted a title of nobility or duke, the second son Song Xuan will be the heir.

In his previous life, Song Xuan died in the Jingnan Rebellion and stood on the side of Zhu Yunwen.

Anyway, at that time, no one knew whether the information was conveyed incorrectly or someone had tampered with it, or whether Song Sheng had bet on both sides.

Song Xuan didn't know that his father Song Sheng had already sided with his father-in-law.

So when his father-in-law went south, Song Xuan fought desperately on the battlefield, killed many of his father-in-law's men, and died for his country.

When everything was settled, the father-in-law wanted to confer the title of marquis on Song Sheng, but he didn't want the son left behind by Song Xuan to inherit the title.

In order to skip Song Xuan, the father-in-law discussed with Song Sheng about marrying a daughter into the Song family.

Song Sheng said this when he returned home.

Song Sheng's fourth son, Song Hu, began to think about it.

Song Hu's biological mother was also a concubine.

Anyway, no matter how you arrange the rank, he is just a bastard and it will never be his turn to inherit the title of marquis.

Once Song Sheng is gone, these illegitimate sons who do not inherit the title will not be rich for more than three generations.

For his own wealth and glory, he found a reason to divorce his original wife.

His father-in-law actually married Zhu Anle to him in the second year of Yongle.

This is outrageous.

Zhang Xin couldn't understand why her father-in-law liked such a shameless man.

In the third year of Yongle, Song Sheng was awarded the title of "Loyal and Sincere Military Minister", the rank of "Special Advancement and Honorary Official", "Military Pillar of the State", and the title of "Marquis of Xining", with an annual salary of 1,500 dan, which was inherited by his descendants.

On the second day of July in the fifth year of Yongle, Song Sheng, Marquis of Xining, died.

Zhu Di first ordered Song Hu to wear the seal of General Pingqiang and serve as the commander-in-chief to garrison Gansu, and then in July of the sixth year of Yongle, he let him inherit the title of Marquis of Xining.

Song Hu was highly regarded by his father-in-law, who not only gave him double annual salary (Marquis of Xining plus the title of Princess Consort of the Emperor), but also gave him the power to control the Shaanxi Dusi and Xing Dusi.

However, the father-in-law soon discovered that Song Hu was not worthy of being appointed, and that he had acted in a presumptuous manner.

Finally, in the eleventh year of Yongle, Song Hu was recalled to the capital.

Even so, Song Hu has not lost his power.

When his son Zhanji got married in the 15th year of Yongle, the chief envoy in charge of the wedding ceremony was still Song Hu, Marquis of Xining.

A man who divorced his wife and remarried for fame and fortune became the chief envoy of his son's wedding ceremony.

How ironic.

After the theft occurred in the Tianku of the Nanjing Grand Altar, Song Hu was ordered to lead the troops from five cities to capture the thieves.

Both Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Xin disliked Song Hu very much, and they had told Zhu Di that this person was not good enough.

But Zhu Anle and Zhu Di seemed to have been drugged by Song Hu.

Song Hu is still active in the court.
