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

Therefore, Lu Ben must be a person who has layers of relationships to protect him.

He can be equated with those children of aristocratic families who were active in officialdom in any previous dynasty.

No matter how the imperial power changes, they will always grow and become stronger in the court.

After serving as an official in the Song Dynasty, one could continue to serve as an official in the Yuan Dynasty.

After serving as an official in the Yuan Dynasty, he suddenly became an official in the Ming Dynasty.

In the eyes of these aristocratic families, the emperor may be just a passing cloud.

After all, they must be used when governing the world.

In this court, there are probably countless people like Lu Ben who come from aristocratic families and work as civil servants of varying ranks. They rely on the network of relationships among aristocratic families to do all kinds of deceitful things.

The major families have formed an invisible network through various relationships in private.

Thus, in the sixth year of Hongwu, Lü Ben was promoted to the third rank.

A surrendered official from the Yuan Dynasty had a smooth career path in the Ming Dynasty, but after his death he was left with only a lonely grave.

The daughter of a surrendered minister of the Yuan Dynasty entered the Eastern Palace, became the prince's woman, and finally became the empress dowager.

No one would believe this if I told them!!!

Geng, Li and Xu could only come to one conclusion in the end:

Lu Ben was a player in the game, and the Lu family was just a chess piece, a chess piece of a prominent family.

This chess piece was sent to the East Palace and became the first nail of the civil servant faction buried in the Zhu family.

Although Lu had a good relationship with the crown prince and the crown princess after entering the palace, the crown prince was upright and did not favor Lu alone.

This is very obvious from the fact that no title was ever requested for the Lu family.

The initial goal of the people behind the Lu family to control or influence the prince to favor the civil service faction failed.

It doesn't matter if the first step fails. Lu is not only a chess piece, but also a tool, a breeding tool.

Judging from the situation at that time.

The Crown Princess's family is a family of military honors, so it is more likely that the Crown Prince will stand on the side of the military officers, and after he ascends the throne, he will be impartial at best.

The Crown Princess had already given birth to a son, who was made the Crown Prince as he was past the age when he was most likely to die young. He was highly valued by the late Emperor.

The maternal family of the Crown Prince was a military hero, and this natural bloodline inheritance meant that no matter whether it was the Crown Prince or the Crown Prince, now or in the future, they would not be able to rely solely on civil officials after inheriting the throne.

Therefore, once the crown prince is not successfully taken down by Lu herself, Lu's identity as a breeding tool will begin.

So Lu became pregnant and gave birth to a child safely.

It is not easy to influence the prince, so what about raising a future prince yourself?

It is not easy to get rid of a current prince, so what about getting rid of a prince who has not yet grown up?

As a result of this crazy plan, people kept dying.

The first person to die was Lu's father, Lu Ben.

It is hard to say whether he died truly or not. He had already endorsed Lu's identity and retired after completing his mission, so as to avoid becoming an obstacle to Zhu Yunwen's ascension to the throne because of his status as a third-rank civil servant.

All those who died later were members of the Zhu family.

The former crown prince, the former crown princess, the former crown prince's grandson, Empress Ma, and the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Jin.

The deaths of these people all had causes and consequences.

Chang had a difficult delivery, the Prince of Qin was poisoned, the Crown Prince fell suddenly ill, the Crown Prince fell suddenly ill, the Prince of Jin fell suddenly ill, and Empress Ma was overworked taking care of the Crown Prince.

Except for Empress Ma who was old and the Crown Prince who was young, the remaining four all died young.

Chang was twenty-four, the crown prince was thirty-eight, the King of Qin was thirty-nine, and the King of Jin was forty-one.

The late emperor spent his whole life in military service and lived to be seventy-one, but all of his descendants are fragile and die at the slightest illness?

Even more people who were not from the Zhu family died. From the founding of the dynasty by the late emperor to the present, there have been so many military heroes, and apart from the so-called causes of death, the number of people is too numerous to count.

Everyone is very clear about everything that happened over the years.

Many people died unjustly.

Most of them were killed by the previous emperor.

The driving force behind this, this aristocratic family, did not bleed a single drop of blood, but manipulated the entire Ming Dynasty from top to bottom, from clan members to court officials, from the front court to the backyard, in the palm of their hands.

If they hadn't gone through the whole thing from start to finish this time.

Everyone’s death will be considered as the result of the times, personal negligence, an accident, or fate.

This allowed the new emperor Zhu Yunwen to ascend the throne smoothly.

Little do people know that the current results are all the result of the hard work of the people behind them.

After achieving this result, in order to consolidate the achievements.

The next step is to cut off all the original support of the new emperor who sits on the supreme position.

The new emperor will have to rely on them in the future.

This allows them to better control the Ming Dynasty and seek benefits for their families and the aristocratic families hiding in the dark.

Therefore, all the vassal kings who might pose a threat to Zhu Yunwen's rule could not escape.

The Geng family, the Li family, and the Xu family will be fine for now because the new emperor needs them to kill the vassal kings.

When the princes are no longer threatening, they will have to step down and bow.

Therefore, the three companies have the same idea - why? Fuck him!

Ming Dynasty, the first year of Jianwen, March.

Beiping.

By the time Zhu Gaochi finished writing the letter and arranged for his secret guards to deliver it to Peking at full speed, it was already March.

Zhang Xin was very sure that she had never read this letter in her previous life.

But in this life, Zhang Xin read this letter word by word to the lazy Xu.

After reading it, Zhang Xin broke out in a cold sweat.

And Xu sneered.

"A bunch of fools, you only understand now?"

"I still remember when I first started listening to my mother's lectures, she said that if the wives and concubines were in harmony, no one would know how the Crown Princess died!"

Zhang Xin murmured in response.

"I have long said that there is something wrong with the Lu family. But my brother didn't believe me. He said that I am just a woman and am limited to the fights in the backyard."

Xu curled her lips.

My younger brother is so stupid that he doesn't understand anything.

Now I finally have an epiphany.

"Then what are we going to do now?"

Zhang Xin asked again.

"Bixi, go to the martial arts hall and ask the prince to come back. Xin'er, just do what you need to do as before. Just respond to the moves you make."

Xu didn't think it was a big deal.

Anyway, what is supposed to come will come, and the dead are already dead.

"Yes, mother."

After Zhu Di returned to Xiaode Palace, everyone talked about the letter, and then Zhang Xin took his leave and returned to his own Yande Palace.

She seemed to be talking to her two sisters-in-law, eating, and doing daily routines as normal, but when it was time to settle down, she hid in the quilt and couldn't control her tears.

I see! ! !

I see! ! !

She was really stupid for many years!

She had never understood why Zhu Zhanji died in her previous life, but today, after reading Zhu Gaochi's letter, she suddenly understood.

same.

Although Zhu Gaochi's reign was short, the cabinet he arranged had already taken shape.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he started a conflict with the cabinet because of political differences. Later, in order to counter the cabinet, he made public the fact that his father-in-law let the young eunuch study and established the Nei Shu Tang.

If such an independent-minded and courageous emperor doesn’t die, who will?
