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

Chapter 188 How can we guard against thieves every day?

In his previous life, Zhang Xin was very grateful to Yang Shiqi and the ministers in the cabinet.

His father-in-law suddenly passed away, and Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne in a hurry.

Zhu Gaochi died suddenly, and Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne in a hurry.

Even Zhu Zhanji died suddenly, and she helped Zhu Qizhen ascend the throne in a hurry.

During these times, the cabinet, headed by Yang Shiqi, assisted in the administration, stabilizing the government and ensuring a smooth transition.

At that time, Zhu Gaochi trusted Yang Shiqi very much.

Whether during his time as crown prince or after he ascended the throne.

Yang Shiqi was also loyal to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi. He always protected Zhu Gaochi in front of his father-in-law and helped Zhu Gaochi overcome difficulties many times.

After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he worked even more diligently and did not dare to slack off at all.

Before Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he followed his father-in-law the most and was very good at fighting and killing.

But when it comes to handling state affairs and balancing the relationship between the entire court, he is far inferior to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi was very diligent in his work.

Zhu Zhanji still had the mentality of a prince, he was playful, and acted tough and would not accept advice.

Zhang Xin has always advised her son that the important ministers of the cabinet are admonishing the emperor for the sake of the entire country, and she has always believed in the Three Yangs.

This belief was so strong that Zhu Zhanji pushed forward the eighth voyage to the West and even planned to move the capital back to the capital, but then he suddenly fell ill.

When Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, she actually considered letting her second son succeed her, but in the blink of an eye, her idea spread outside the palace and into the court.

Some are against it, some are in support of it.

In order to avoid being criticized, and for the sake of so-called fairness.

Also for the sake of so-called orthodoxy, she announced on the spot that Zhu Qizhen would succeed to the throne.

At that time, she was not only grieving the loss of her son, but also saddened that her grandson lost his father at a young age.

He was afraid that if the second son was established, Zhanji’s children would have no place to stand in the future.

She didn't remember who instilled these ideas in her, but she did it anyway.

But in this life, after knowing more inside stories, Zhang Xin began to have strong doubts about these old servants whom he trusted very much in the past.

Was Zhan Ji’s death their fault?

Who are their people in the palace?

Is Yang Shiqi a good person or a bad person?

He is also a recommender.

He also entered the officialdom in the first year of Jianwen.

The person who recommended him was actually Fang Xiaoru.

As for Zhang Xin, she really had no good feelings towards Fang Xiaoru.

In her previous life, she hated Fang Xiaoru for throwing feces on his father-in-law in order to save his life. In this life, she understood that there were deeper conflicts of interest among the literati groups behind the throwing of feces.

She didn't know that Yang Shiqi and Fang Xiaoru had this relationship before.

She always thought that it was the former Hanlin editor Wang Shuying who recommended Yang Shiqi to compile "Taizu Shilu".

Now that I think about it carefully, it was all because Zhu Gaochi was closer to the civil officials than his father-in-law.

Whether it is Zhu Gaoxu or Zhu Gaosui, they are just military men who always shout for war and killing and have bad tempers. They are not the kind of emperor that the literati want.

Zhu Gaochi - in poor health, mild temper, stable personality, dedicated to work.

What an easy candidate to be the emperor.

As for Zhang Xin, the later Empress Dowager, and Zhu Qizhen, who knew nothing, they were easier to control than Zhu Gaochi.

Yang Shiqi was a capable minister.

Zhang Xin can be sure of this.

I believe my father-in-law knows better than I do how he got into officialdom.

This time Fang Xiaoru did not die, and the relationship between them should have been revealed.

My father-in-law did not use Fang Xiaoru, but he also made appropriate concessions and chose Yang Shiqi to join the cabinet.

It is estimated that this will be used until the end.

When Zhang Xin died in his previous life, Yang Shiqi was still a close and important official.

However, he was very old, and was made lucid by his son all his life.

"I'm back, exhausted."

As soon as Zhu Gaochi entered the room, he went straight to the study, shouting as he walked.

"Ah, why are you so early today?"

Zhang Xin came to his senses and looked at the sky. It was still bright.

"Nothing happened, I just came back. The good news is that Fatty Zhu will have regular classes from now on, the bad news is that I have to go to class too!"

Zhu Gaochi threw himself onto the only bench in the study and lay down in a floating position.

"Dad might as well let you take martial arts lessons!"

Zhang Xin is upset.

It is not possible to have classes every day. Zhu Gaochi has to go to court all the time recently and can only stand. He suffers from back and leg pain when he comes back. How can he go back to school without some active classes?

"No! I don't want to take any classes! I have so many little bastards, it's not easy for me, I'm calculating all day long!"

Zhu Gaochi roared and tried to play it, but it didn't work.

"Uh... whatever you want. If you have to make new clothes again, don't go into the house to sleep."

Zhang Xin wasn’t polite either.

She's just so kind.

He was afraid that he would die before his father-in-law, which would then cause trouble for Zhanji to succeed to the throne.

Otherwise I wouldn't care whether he lives or dies.

Leaving behind such a mess has enabled some civil officials to become arrogant and domineering.

My son died so early.

"Rare!!! Plenty of room to sleep!"

Zhu Gaochi glanced at the man with rolled-up sleeves in the room and spoke stubbornly.

"Let's eat."

Zhang Xin was too lazy to pay attention to him and gestured to roll up her sleeves.

"Yes, Your Highness."

When the food was served, Zhu Gaochi ate it up like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Feeling very satisfied, he had long forgotten about the previous quarrel with Zhang Xin and took Zhang Xin out to digest the food.

Zhu Di also strolled over to say goodnight to Xu and see his son.

"I think among the people chosen by father there is an official recommended by Fang Xiaoru."

Zhang Xin took this opportunity to ask about Yang Shiqi.

"Oh. Yang Shiqi. Not bad. This guy is efficient. He dares to speak."

Zhu Gaochi has had a lot of contact with Yang Shiqi recently.

There is always some waiting time before going to court.

He has always liked literature and poetry, and often discusses this with others.

Yang Shiqi was straightforward, saying that poetry was a minor skill and not enough to govern the country and maintain peace.

He also suggested that he read the Six Classics when he had time, and look at the imperial edicts of the Han Dynasty, which were more helpful than poetry.

Zhu Gaochi followed Zhang Xin a lot and was used to his directness.

Yang Shiqi was very direct from the start, and he had a good impression of him.

“Is there someone behind him?”

Zhang Xin asked.

"Needless to say, everyone has someone behind them."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

"Aren't you afraid that he might cause trouble?"

"These people take decades to plan and take action in a split second. You can't defend against them. It's better to use them to get things done first. Sometimes, it's all fate."

Zhu Gaochi felt that Zhang Xin looked a bit like a frightened bird, so he said something to comfort him.

"You are open-minded!"

Zhang Xin is upset.

"You don't have to be on guard against thieves every day. You'll be exhausted before the thieves even show up. Just relax."

Zhu Gaochi was happy again.

Zhang Xin had been carefree before, but when the past events of the Zhu family were brought up, she seemed a little scared.

"Oh, I can't tell you!"

Zhang Xin turned away and ignored him.

"Hey, has my wife gained weight too?"

Zhu Gaochi didn't mind Zhang Xin's temper. He grabbed Zhang Xin's hand and held it, and felt that it was soft and boneless, and soft and plump.

Looking at Zhang Xin's profile, she seems to have grown a cute double chin.
