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

Chapter 173: It's the Emperor's Fault That the World Is Not Well

Ming Dynasty, the first year of Yongle, April.

The capital, Li’s Restaurant.

The storyteller was talking with great enthusiasm.

"Just to tell you, something new has happened in our Ming Dynasty!"

"The Empress has issued an imperial decree, and Princess Nankang and her husband have severed all ties and will have nothing to do with each other from now on!"

"The Emperor even added an imperial decree with only four words on it - The Empress is mighty!"

"If you want to know the details, please listen to the old man's detailed explanation."

"Speaking of which, Princess Nankang is the eleventh daughter of the late emperor—"

"Sister-in-law, did my brother ask someone to make this up?"

The three aunts and sisters-in-law were once again kicked out of the palace by Xu. When they were tired of shopping, they went into a restaurant to have some snacks.

As soon as Zhu Anle heard the storyteller's content, he felt something was wrong.

Although Dad is good to Mom, there is no time for him to show off in front of others.

Besides, my father is too concerned about his reputation.

How could it be possible to add to the Queen's majestic imperial edict?

At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court knew that my father was even more henpecked than my grandfather, but no one dared to mention it.

"Dad wrote it and stamped it with his official seal, but he didn't send it... Mom kept it."

Zhang Xin lowered her voice to explain to Zhu Zhiming.

"Hehehe, just tell me, it was really my brother who asked me to make it up—"

Zhu Anle was so happy.

"The husband sings and the wife follows, and the wife sings and the husband follows. Our parents are done with it. Besides, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is not a righteous divorce, it's a divorce. If Dad really doesn't agree, Mom wouldn't say it openly."

Zhu Zhiming and Zhu Anle are both facing the hurdle of getting married, but after looking around recently, they can't find anyone as responsible as the men of the Zhu family.

My father and mother have a very good relationship, my eldest brother and his wife are also quite good, and even my second brother, who is the most unreliable, is not bad to his second sister-in-law.

The backyards of the three men in the family were all very quiet.

Compared with those young talents in the capital, I am really not that good.

"This capital city, although it's called the imperial capital, can't even keep up with the good customs of our capital city. There's not even a woman to go shopping."

Zhu Anle was very dissatisfied with the capital.

"That's right, it's so pedantic. If we hadn't come out, we wouldn't have known that going out for a walk is like breaking the law of heaven."

Zhu Zhiming also pouted and complained.

In the past few years, the two sisters were pulled out of the Prince Yan's Mansion by Zhang Xin, and they also took care of many things respectively, and they never felt that there was anything wrong.

When I arrived in the capital, every time I went out, people pointed and talked about me.

There was also a memorial from my father that secretly suggested that the princess should stay in the palace and should not leave the palace and disturb the people.

"So, just hang out when you have nothing to do. They'll get used to it after hanging out a lot."

Zhang Xin is quite mature.

She and Zhu Gaochi used the same routine, but the methods were a little different.

One does it in front of you, the other does it behind your back.

We all reach the same destination through different paths.

The court officials were certain that the emperor could not rule the country alone without them.

They started raising the price little by little since the time of my royal grandfather, and deceived my royal grandfather step by step.

Princesses could only marry commoners, and princes and grandchildren of the emperor could not marry ladies from high-ranking noble families. This was said to be to prevent external relatives from forming factions and interfering in state affairs.

It is true that external relatives interfered in government affairs, but were there few court officials who controlled the government?

If the emperor didn't attend court for a day, they would write memorials of rebuke all over the place, and if he showed any signs of being complacent or frivolous, they would kneel outside the palace gate and make a death appeal.

The emperor is too hardworking, so they don't want to do it.

They couldn't stand the emperor not working.

The most hateful thing is that this group of old scoundrels control the only weapon in the world that can fight against imperial power - the pen.

They used the emperor's fame during his lifetime and after his death to confine him to a circle where they only wanted the emperor to stay.

On the one hand, they were sitting in office doing nothing and squeezing the people's wealth to support the big landlords behind them, and on the other hand, when people's livelihood was declining, they asked the emperor to issue an edict of repentance.

It seems that the problems in the world are all the emperor's fault, and have nothing to do with the court officials who manage the government.

What good things are you thinking about?

Now my mother-in-law has opened up the situation with the incident of Princess Nankang, let’s just wait and see.

The emperor's daughter has divorced her husband, so shouldn't the imperial edict follow suit?

While Zhang Xin was thinking, the voices from the private room next door suddenly became louder and came over.

"Your Bai Dan is no good. He tried every means to accuse my daughter of a crime and divorce her just for a merchant girl."

"What are you thinking? You have taken all the good things. Divorce! And the child must belong to my daughter!"

"This child is the blood of my Bai family. How can he belong to your family? Don't even think about it!"

"We haven't even settled accounts with you for sneaking into the mansion in the middle of the night and taking the child away, yet you dare to ask for a divorce!"

"We've been married for three years, but we haven't even given birth to a son. What use is there for my Bai family to have her?"

"Asshole!!! You've been hanging out outside all year round, doing all kinds of dirty and smelly things, who would dare to give birth!"

"Madam Qi, let me be fair. This child still has to stay with the Bai family."

"That's right. How can you take someone's child away during a divorce?"

"Your daughter is the same. She divorced and returned home. What about the unmarried and unengaged ones in the family? I'm too proud. Why should the Bai family separate their wives and children if they can just take a concubine?"

"Yes, there is an aunt who is divorced. It is difficult for them to get married."

"Since Madam Qi has asked me to be a witness, I will be so generous as to say that I will send her to the temple."

"What do you mean? The Bai family betrayed my daughter, and then they were able to marry and have children, living a happy and romantic life. My daughter did nothing wrong, but ended up with nothing, and the child has to stay in the Bai family and be tortured by that merchant girl?"

"The Bai family slapped us in the face, and we went over to let them slap us again, and then we slapped ourselves in the face? We say sorry for causing you trouble?"

"no way!"

"Listen for yourself to what the storyteller said. The emperor protects his own sister. Whoever's sister it is, he will love her!"

"The Bai family doesn't want to talk at all! Mom, let's go!"

"Don't leave! Give my granddaughter back!"

"Go away! I'll only give you one meal a day when you go back. You're so hungry that you don't even have the energy to move!"

"what--"

"You actually hit me! I'm going to go to the government and sue you for public assault!"

"Say, my sister is in this state now, hitting you is the least of my worries, mom, let's go. This matter is not over yet!"

"Sir, Sir, there's blood..."

"If anything happens to my young master, my Bai family will never forgive you—"

"Come if you dare! I'll make sure you never come back."

Followed by the sound of many people speaking one after another, finally there was the sound of tables, chairs and benches hitting people.

There was a burst of chaos and a large group of people came down the stairs rumblingly.

The owner of the restaurant quickly came over to apologize.

But what he saw were three pairs of sparkling eyes.

"Talk about it."

Zhu Zhiming was extremely excited as he never expected that he would hear a live version of gossip while listening to a book.

The boss was very upset, but he still asked a waiter who had heard the whole farce to come and tell the story to the three women he couldn't afford to offend.
