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

Zhu Di raised his hand again to stop everyone from discussing, and continued:

"I didn't know about these things before. It was when Zhu Yunwen was in power that several marquises realized something was wrong and investigated. Only then did they realize that our Zhu family had been schemed against thoroughly."

“This is also the biggest reason why I can’t stand it.”

"As your fourth brother, I am good at fighting, but not so good at other things. But fortunately, your fourth sister-in-law is good, and your big fat nephew can also be used. It's no problem for him to take care of the Ming Dynasty."

"But they are in charge, what should I do?"

"I have to conquer the world! I have already conquered Annan. Then I will go to the north, south, east and west. The Ming Dynasty is so vast, and your sister-in-law doesn't have the energy. You know my fat son, he has been sick since he was a child. I can't let my family die of exhaustion."

"When I thought about this, I thought of you. Dad wants to raise you like pigs, but I can't do that."

"Even in ordinary families, there is no elder brother who supports the entire family of his younger brothers. This is not just one or two, but more than a dozen. Every year, half of the national treasury is spent on the annual salary. What do I want?"

"So, I recruited you guys."

"I'm short of people, short of my own people. It's up to you whether you treat me as your own people or as outsiders. I won't force you."

"I will definitely reduce the number of vassal states. The imperial court is not wealthy, and I still have to fight wars. I can't use the money to support people for nothing."

"The throne is no longer hereditary. It will be passed down from one generation to the next. If you want to keep it, you must have military merit or civil governance. Think about it and tell me when you've figured it out."

"Especially in the north, if you can take it down and hold it, I will give you money and people. It's better than being trapped in the interior, where you can only indulge in sensual pleasures and pretend to be low-key."

"So be it."

The group of people who didn't know how to react to Zhu Di's unconventional move, actually responded in unison when Zhu Di ordered them to retreat.

"Yes, fourth brother!"

Zhu Di still smiled and left.

Zhu Gaochi bowed and nodded as he escorted the princes out of the study, and then arranged for a young eunuch to go to Xu to inform her that the work ahead had been completed.

The prince was called to the study by Zhu Di, and the princesses were left to be entertained by Xu.

As a junior, Zhang Xin only needs to smile and continue eating and drinking with everyone.

Zhu Di's ending was a little unexpected. Before Zhang Xin could even recognize everyone, a young eunuch came to tell her that the princes were waiting for the princess to leave the palace.

After everyone had left, when Zhu Gaochi came back, Zhang Xin was already lying down.

After Zhu Gaochi washed up and lay down, he told Zhang Xin roughly about Zhu Di's unilateral output in the study.

After saying this, Zhu Gaochi, who had been busy all day, fell into a deep sleep immediately.

Zhang Xin felt sleepy and could only keep her eyes open while thinking about how to proceed.

The trend now is completely different.

Of course, this family dinner tonight had never happened in my previous life.

At that time, only the King of Qi was summoned to the capital. The King of Qi angered his father-in-law and was directly demoted to a commoner.

Zhang Xin had never thought about summoning all the princes to Beijing this time, but surprisingly, everyone came.

She originally thought that those who were dishonest in her previous life would not dare to come.

If things go wrong, the country may continue to be in chaos for a while.

In his previous life, Zhu Gaochi had been named the crown prince. He played the role of respecting the wise and humble to the extreme and was the template of the emperor that everyone hoped for. All the civil officials in the court supported Zhu Gaochi, while the military officials were indifferent.

I won't act anymore in this life. Things are not going smoothly among the court officials.

Next, my father-in-law may have to start the conquest of Mongolia early.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xin couldn't help but climb up.

It was night and Wanxiu came over to support Zhang Xin and asked quietly:

"Your Highness, do you want to get up to sleep?"

"No, go to the study."

"Your Highness, it's too late."

"It's okay, I can't sleep."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Wanxiu had ground the ink, Zhang Xin sat down with a notebook and used shorthand that only she could understand to record the time of Zhu Di's several expeditions and some unexpected events.

In the first month of the seventh year of Yongle, my father-in-law had already secured his position and my mother-in-law had passed away, so my father-in-law decided to go on a tour to the capital.

He ordered Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi to govern the country.

Assisting the regent were the Minister of Personnel and Chancellor Jian Yi, the Minister of War and Chancellor Jin Zhong, the Left Academician of the Imperial Academy and Imperial Reader Huang Huai, and the Left Instructor and Imperial Lecturer Yang Shiqi.

My father-in-law's tour lasts for a whole year.

In February of the eighth year of Yongle, he went directly to lead the expedition to Mongolia.

It was not until October that my father-in-law returned to the capital.

This time, Zhu Gaochi served as regent for one year and ten months.

In February of the eleventh year of Yongle, my father-in-law said he would tour the capital again, and this time he took Zhanji with him.

It was still the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi who was the regent.

Assisting the regent were Shangshu Jin Zhong, scholar Huang Huai, imperial tutor Yang Shiqi, and Xima Yang Pu.

In March of the 12th year of Yongle, my father-in-law personally led the expedition to Mongolia for the second time.

It was not until September of the same year that my father-in-law returned to the capital.

This regency lasted for one year and nine months.

In March of the fifteenth year of Yongle, my father-in-law visited the capital.

Zhu Gaochi is still the regent.

Assisting the regent were Shangshu Jian Yi, Yude Yang Shiqi, and Shidu and Zanshan Liang Qian.

My father-in-law never returned to the capital after he left it this time.

However, this time, my father-in-law did not go to the war and stayed in the capital.

It was not until December of the eighteenth year of Yongle that his father-in-law summoned Zhu Gaochi to the capital.

This regency lasted the longest, three years and ten months.

In March of the 20th year of Yongle, my father-in-law personally led the expedition to Mongolia for the third time.

Zhu Gaochi was still the regent, and there were only two ministers assisting him in this role - Jian Yi and Yang Shiqi.

The founding of this country took seven months.

In July of the 21st year of Yongle, my father-in-law personally led the fourth expedition to Mongolia.

Zhu Gaochi was regent, and he had only one regent - Yang Shiqi.

The regency period lasted for four months.

In April of the 22nd year of Yongle, my father-in-law personally led the sixth expedition to Mongolia.

In July of the same year, my father-in-law died in Yumuchuan.

During this period, the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi was the regent, and Yang Shiqi was the assistant governor.

The regency lasted for four months.

All in all, during the entire Yongle period, my father-in-law personally led five expeditions, and Zhu Gaochi served as regent six times, for a total of eight years and eight months.

The number of regents decreased from four at the beginning to only one in the end, which could be regarded as recognition of Zhu Gaochi by his father-in-law.

After my father-in-law turned fifty, his health was not good. Even when he was in the capital, it was Zhu Gaochi who handled state affairs.

But the problem is that every time my father-in-law appointed Zhu Gaochi as regent, he would clearly require that the task of regent be given to Zhu Gaochi.

They made demands, conducted inspections afterwards, and even sent the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to conduct secret surveillance.

The couple lived in this fearful way for more than eight years.

My mother-in-law is still alive and my father-in-law hasn't changed.

But Zhang Xin always felt that she couldn't take the risk.

Try to make this period of time as short as possible.

Now that these uncles have been summoned to the capital, can she expect that her father-in-law will go to war less often?

Although my father-in-law is a very hands-off person.

But this time, it’s not that cool.

Another thing is that Zhang Xin didn’t dare to comment on her father-in-law’s five personal expeditions.

Looking back on that outcome now, it’s so embarrassing.
