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

Speaking of which, the first ten of Zhu Gaochi's uncles include their sons who left behind.

Apart from the fifth brother Zhou Wang's branch, there is still some hope.

It's basically useless.

The eighth uncle after the seventh uncle, Prince of Tan Zhu Zi, was involved in the Hu Weiyong case. In the 23rd year of Hongwu, he committed suicide by burning himself to death along with his princess consort.

The ninth uncle who came after the eighth uncle died young.

The tenth uncle who came after him, Prince Lu Zhu Tan, was born to Concubine Guo Hui. He was crowned king at just two months old, but also died in his early twenties after taking elixirs.

He is only twenty years old, and I don't know who fooled him, but he is obsessed with pursuing immortality.

If it wasn't ridiculous, then what was it? After his death, the late emperor gave him the bad posthumous name "Huang".

Few of the first ten digits are usable, but a few of the last dozen or so are useful.

For example, eleven and sixteen.

As Zhang Xin was thinking, Zhu Gaochi had already turned to the page of his eleventh uncle, the King of Shu, Zhu Chun.

"Uncle Eleven is good."

Zhu Gaochi was slightly relieved.

Finally, an uncle who isn't so terrible.

The wife of Zhu Chun, the eleventh uncle, was Lan Yu's daughter. Lan Yu's body was skinned and stuffed with straw, and then displayed to the nine borders. When Lan Yu's "fur" was brought to Chengdu Prefecture, Zhu Chun, as Lan Yu's son-in-law, pleaded with Zhu Yuanzhang to bury Lan Yu.

In the atmosphere at that time, Uncle Eleven dared to plead with Zhu Yuanzhang for the sake of his princess, and successfully buried Lan Yu.

This is a man who is very responsible and can get things done.

Uncle Eleven also did a series of practical things in Shu.

However, the problem is that this person has a good relationship with Fang Xiaoru, and his father may not be happy to use him.

"I heard that Shu is well governed."

Zhang Xin said this based on what she had heard from the outside world in this life.

She had never had much contact with people outside the palace before. She only knew that Zhu Chun was Concubine Guo Huifei's eldest son, seven years older than Zhu Gaochi. He was very good at studying and the late emperor had praised him as a "Shu scholar" in his early years.

In this life, the caravans and shops in Zhang Xin's hands had many interactions with Shu, and only then did he realize that Zhu Chun had done a lot for Shu and had a good reputation in the vassal state.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Zhu Chun was enfeoffed in Chengdu and began to repair various temples and historical sites in Shu, such as Daci Temple, Wanfu Temple, Qingyang Palace, Yanbian Tower, Wangjiang Tower, and Sanhua Tower. His eldest son invited Fang Xiaoru as a teacher. When he visited the county school, he saw that the doctors who taught were poor, so he paid out of his own pocket to increase their salaries and gave them a stone of rice every month. Chen Nanbin, the chief of the palace, was unable to move, so he specially built a carriage for Chen Nanbin. Among the talents he recruited, one of the fathers died in a foreign land, and he also paid for the return of the father to his hometown for burial.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zhu Chun immediately sent the crown prince Zhu Yueshun to the capital to pay homage.

No matter what Zhu Chun himself thought, at least he did a good job on the surface.

In his previous life, Zhu Chun's half-brother, Prince Gu Zhu Tan, plundered the people's wealth and raised soldiers in Changsha with the intention of rebellion. It was Zhu Chun who reported him for the sake of justice.

This would be the time when Zhu Chun was in his prime.

Moreover, Zhu Chun lived a long life, and lived until the 21st year of Yongle.

It will be enough for Zhu Gaochi to use for a while.

"I originally wanted Uncle Seventeen to go to Annan. Do you think Uncle Eleven would be more suitable?"

Zhu Gaochi was a little undecided.

Shu is actually a place where the people are tough and brave. In fact, it is a bit similar to Annan.

If King Zhu Chun of Shu can manage Shu well, he will certainly be able to manage Annan well.

King Ning Zhu Quan did not have a clear advantage in this regard.

But Zhu Chun was very secretive, and no one knew his true identity when he led the army to fight.

At that time, the Western Barbarians in Shu were in rebellion and burned down Heiya Pass. Zhu Chun did not suppress the rebellion himself, but instead asked the court for help.

Lan Yu was still alive at that time, and it was Lan Yu who led Qu Neng to defeat the barbarians.

After the imperial court conquered Annan, it was inevitable that local people would rebel. If the imperial court kept asking for troops to help quell the rebellion, that would be unnecessary.

"I feel that my love is priceless."

Zhang Xin reminded.

Zhu Gaochi was only selecting uncles and nephews who could be used at this time, but it did not mean that these people could be used by him.

No matter how good his idea is, if the princes are unwilling, they may resort to passive resistance.

"My wife is right. I'll hook him up first. He can be used. Then we can catch him all at once—"

Zhu Gaochi dared to say this because he had already thought about how to convince these people.

In fact, men are often easier to fool than women.

Often, the phrase "achieving great things" can make people excited.

At present, Zhang Xin is the person that Zhu Gaochi thinks is the most difficult to fool.

Even Xu occasionally fell for the sugar-coated bullets, but Zhang Xin was not affected by them. He was too clear-headed.

He admired it very much.

"Well, next one, Uncle Twelve is gone, so there is no one left in the family?"

There was an inexplicable admiration in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, but Zhang Xin didn't understand it and just jumped down.

"Well, no more, not one."

These few short words on the page - the country will be destroyed without a son - made Zhu Gaochi sigh.

"Then it's over, Uncle Thirteen?"

Zhang Xin looked at the time and quickened her pace. She couldn’t stay up late every night.

"Leave this to my father and mother to see how to use it. Thirteenth Uncle is the younger brother of Eleventh Uncle from the same mother. They are both born to Concubine Guo Hui. His princess consort is my mother's second sister."

Zhu Gaochi made a tick and scrolled down.

"okay."

Zhang Xin also made a mark in her notebook. She remembered that King Dai lived to be 72. Although he had killed people and taken money and was reported by others, he restrained himself later.

"Uncle Fourteen, I would forget you even if I didn't mention you... You have such a low sense of presence."

Zhu Gaochi also ticked the box for his fourteenth uncle, Prince Su Zhu Jian.

Zhang Xin nodded in agreement. She could hardly remember Zhu Liang's life, which meant there was nothing special about it.

"Fifteenth uncle? When my father went to rescue Seventeenth uncle, he also went to see him. At that time, people from the Liao Palace said that he had been summoned to the capital by Zhu Yunwen. I think my father might not like him."

"The Liao king stationed at the border is definitely capable of fighting. We can hook him up."

"Sixteenth Uncle, I heard he was a good student, but I don't know why Grandfather made him the Prince of Qing and sent him to Ningxia to guard the border."

"Just because you don't understand what Grandfather Emperor saw, it doesn't mean he can't do it."

"Okay, hook it up."

"Uncle Seventeen is not important, but what about Uncle Eighteen?"

"If there's nothing serious going on, just pick it up."

His eighteenth uncle, Prince of Min Zhu Xun, was also one of the princes who were killed in front of Zhu Di. His fief was Yunnan Prefecture. He lived a long life. At least, he was not dead when Zhang Xin died.

"Uncle Nineteen opened the city gate to welcome my father, and he was conferred a title in Changsha when he ascended the throne. How about not moving him for the time being?"

"Your Highness, please make the decision."

Zhang Xin yawned.

Among the remaining ones, I don’t know if it’s because they were born in the emperor’s grandfather’s later years, so they were weak from birth.

Twenty-sixth uncle Zhu Nan died young.

My twentieth uncle was Zhu Song, the King of Han; my twenty-first uncle was Zhu Mo, the King of Shen; my twenty-second uncle was Zhu Ying, the King of An; my twenty-third uncle was Zhu Gao, the King of Tang; my twenty-fourth uncle was Zhu Dong, the King of Ying; and my twenty-fifth uncle was Zhu Yi, the King of Yi. These six did not live long, some died in their twenties and some in their thirties.

Several of them she had come into contact with recently and in her past life.

They are all poor little princes without a father or a mother.

At that time, Zhu Di was busy sorting out state affairs, Zhu Gaochi was busy dealing with his father's seizures, and Xu was in poor health and passed away early.

For several years, Zhang Xin was in charge of the eating, drinking, and defecation of these little princes who were still staying in the capital.

It was not until the sixth year of Yongle that they were released one after another to become fiefdoms, but they all died before her.

Uncle 22 and Uncle 24 didn't even leave any offspring. How bad must their health be?

Or maybe it was because the court officials didn't want the Zhu family to occupy the fiefdom and waste the annual income?

She didn't want to accompany Zhu Gaochi any longer.

A little sad.
