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

According to the news sent back by the Geng, Li and Xu families.

Ge Cheng, the chief officer of the Prince of Yan's Palace, who had behaved very well in Peking, was on his way to the capital to report on the situation of the Prince of Yan's fiefdom in the past year. Everything was normal.

But once he entered the capital, he was put into a sack by Qi Tai, then Minister of War, and was not released until a few days later.

They weren't sure what had happened, but Qi Tai and the others' faces did look a little grim.

The imperial court's military movements were frequent.

"It's only been a few days. Zhang Xin sent someone to bring a message."

Zhu Di couldn't tell whether he was excited or relieved.

"Your Majesty, a virtuous man will have many supporters."

Monk Daoyan smiled and clasped his hands together.

"Many helpers, many pigs, how many pigs are there in the palace?"

Zhu Zhanji didn't understand and shouted twice. Xu even took him to touch the piglets.

"Zu, not pigs. The righteous will have many supporters, the unrighteous will have few supporters. This comes from Mencius: Gongsun Chou, Part 2. It means that if you stand on the side of justice and benevolence, you will get the support and help of the majority. If you violate morality and benevolence, you will inevitably fall into isolation."

Monk Daoyan explained patiently to Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji listened but didn't understand. However, that didn't stop him from following Monk Daoyan and repeating the eight words.

Zhu Di was deeply touched.

Sometimes there are things that need not be done for a reason.

He and Xu didn't care much about the fact that Zhang Xin gave away the treasure notes as rewards.

There are only so many people in the palace.

There's no big expense.

The two of them made Zhang Xin do this just because they wanted to celebrate the late emperor's birthday.

But it works surprisingly well.

The hearts of the people in Yan were soon firmly locked in Yan through these reward seal notes and auspicious cloud notes that were only circulated in Yan.

What the people want is what the military wants.

The prestige of Prince Yan's Mansion has increased a lot.

To put it in an exaggerated way, the identity of King Yan now commands the support of hundreds of people in Yan.

When the Beiping governor and Beiping commander-in-chief sent by Zhu Yunwen came to take over Beiping's political and military affairs, they were quite unwelcome.

As for the other deputy commander of Beiping, Zhang Xin, who was sent by Zhu Yunwen, coincidentally, he was originally his subordinate.

Zhang Xin came to the gate of Prince Yan's mansion three times as the deputy commander to ask for a meeting, but was turned away each time.

The last time, I happened to meet Zhang Xin.

The daughter-in-law was kind-hearted. When Zhang Xin said that he was an old subordinate of Prince Yan and gave his name, she invited Zhang Xin into the palace.

After asking Xu, she nodded before he put the letter in front of him.

At that time, Zhu Di didn't know the purpose of Zhang Xin's visit, so he just lay there pretending to be sick.

The man fell to his knees, kowtowed three times, and then revealed all of Zhu Yunwen's secrets in a few words.

The imperial court secretly ordered the Beiping governor, Beiping commander-in-chief and him, the Beiping deputy commander-in-chief, to escort the Prince of Yan, who was attempting to rebel, back to the capital.

The two were already waiting for troops from the capital to arrive because they were afraid that the news would leak out.

Soon they will secretly surround Prince Yan's mansion and arrest Prince Yan's entire family.

If the Prince of Yan wants to return to the capital to explain to the Emperor, then he should go with him. He will ensure that the Prince is safe along the way and will not allow anyone to harm him along the way.

If the King of Yan had other ideas, he would be willing to go through fire and water for his old master. . .

Zhu Di was frightened at the time. Zhang Xin's head was hit so hard that he felt pain just by hearing it. When he looked back, he saw bleeding. He did not bother to pretend to be crazy or sick and quickly got out of bed to help Zhang Xin up.

I also wanted to call someone to bandage Zhang Xin's wound.

This honest guy won't give a damn, he just wants a definite answer, and he can do it anytime.

Zhu Di was actually a little touched at that time. He had always been suspicious, but he didn't know why, but he was sure that Zhang Xin was not here to test him.

He summoned monk Daoyan and his subordinates Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu.

That night, the five people finalized the matter.

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng led the palace's 800 guards into the palace and lay in ambush with Zhang Chang's 3,000 Yanshan guards, ready to be on standby at any time.

Zhang Xin will return to the Capital Command Headquarters and take action accordingly.

When they parted, Zhu Di casually asked Zhang Xin why he went to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

People said that he hadn't thought it through at first, but later said that it was his mother who asked him to do so.

Zhang Xin's mother came with him to Beiping to take up his post.

When I arrived, I felt that the people in the north were simple and honest. Even though the products in Yan could not compare with those in the capital, the common people were happy.

Such a precious place in the border area has been developed into such a place.

When Zhang Xin said that the current emperor wanted to arrest Prince of Yan, Zhang Xin's mother felt that the young emperor was not a good master and insisted that her son follow his old master back.

Even if it is a huge taboo, we cannot do anything to such a good old master.

The reason for coming here like this made Zhu Di feel even more emotional:

"The people of a country are not bounded by frontiers, a nation is not secured by the dangers of mountains and rivers, and the world is not intimidated by the power of weapons.

Those who gain the way help more, those who lose the way help few.

When one has few supporters, even his relatives will betray him; when one has many supporters, the whole world will obey him. "

Monk Daoyan added the last sentence:

"So, my lord, use what the world agrees with to attack what your relatives oppose, so a gentleman will win even if he does not fight."

"Thank you, Master."

Zhu Di bowed.

Ming Dynasty, the first year of Jianwen, July, the fourth day.

On the same day and at the same time as in the previous life, Beiping Governor Zhang Bing, Beiping Commander-in-Chief Xie Gui, together with Beiping Deputy Commander Zhang Xin, and three thousand troops, surrounded the Prince of Yan's Mansion silently.

"Rebel, you are a commoner of Yan. Now the emperor has ordered that you all surrender and be escorted to the capital by us. If you resist arrest, you will be killed without mercy."

When the knocking sound came from outside, Zhang Xin inexplicably felt a sense of lack of energy.

Zhu Gaoxu almost laughed out loud on the spot.

Just like in her previous life, Zhang Xin stood next to Xu.

The difference is that this time Zhu Zhanji is in Xu's hands, while Zhang Xin's elder brother Zhang Chang has already organized his troops and is waiting deep in the palace.

The officials of the palace included everyone in the palace, and this time the father-in-law did not tie them up to show weakness.

When the shouting outside stopped, Ma Sanbao took the young eunuch and went forward to open the heavy door of Prince Yan's Mansion.

As the door opened little by little.

What people outside saw was Prince of Yan Zhu Di standing at the door like a gun shot out of the body.

"Come here."

Zhu Di hooked his finger.

Zhang Xin was the first to ride forward. With the sound of horse hooves, he walked towards Zhu Di step by step. When he was about to reach Zhu Di, Zhang Xin jumped down and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, I obey your orders!"

"killed."

Zhu Di pointed casually.

"kill!"

Before Zhang Bing and Xie Gui could react, Zhang Xin uttered the word "kill" and the adjutants beside them raised their swords and swung down heads and blood, scattering them and leaving a dazzling red streak in the air.

The moment their heads hit the ground, just like in their previous life, their eyes opened wide with only disbelief on their faces.

Wei, who was next to Zhang Xin, couldn't help but cover her face.

"I'm leaving. I'll come back and coax Zhan Ji to sleep."

Zhu Di mounted his war horse and gave Xu some advice before leaving.

This caused everyone around to burst into laughter.

"Stop laughing! Hurry up! You are disturbing my grandson's sleep. You will be punished with thirty lashes!"

Zhu Di smiled and gave each person a whip, and the last whip hit the war horse's butt.

The horse neighed and rushed out of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Then everyone came out in droves.

That night, in the city of Peking, the rumbling sound of horse hooves woke up the people who had fallen asleep early.

I stood up and listened carefully, but the sound of horse hooves did not appear again.

The sporadic sounds of fighting at the nine gates of Peking City did not even wake up the nightingale.

In the midst of harmony, the city of Beiping has changed its owner.

Zhu Di returned to Prince Yan's Mansion on time to coax his grandson to sleep.
