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

"Genghis Khan was truly a great hero. It's just that his descendants are not that good."

When Zhu Di read the letter, he felt that the scene described by Prince Ning was very immersive. When Ma Sanbao mentioned it again, he vaguely felt that there was a smell everywhere and he could only blame the instigator.

"I, this old minister, dare to say that they are not his descendants. Besides, this is almost the same as our Ming Dynasty."

Song Sheng already had half his leg in the coffin, and having followed Zhu Di for some time, he knew that Zhu Di was not a pedantic person, so he spoke boldly.

"What are you talking about!!!"

Zhu Di was upset. The military officer was good, but he was too straightforward, and his words always hurt his heart.

"To be honest... Otherwise, I would have retired by now. Your Majesty, you should stay in Yandi. You don't have to travel long distances in the middle of winter."

Song Sheng became bolder for a moment, and seeing that Zhu Di just looked unhappy, he continued to attack him.

"Shut up, you."

Zhu Di felt that this might be the reason why emperors loved to use civil officials.

The military generals' words were too hurtful. If such truth were spoken by a civil official, it would surely sound much more pleasant to the ear.

"Oh. I'll shut up."

When Song Sheng saw Zhu Di's face turn dark, he knew that he might have gone too far, so he shut his mouth and said nothing.

At this time, they were in the big tent where they were camping, with only Zhu Di, Song Sheng and Ma Sanbao.

As soon as Song Sheng shut up, the big tent became eerily quiet.

It was only quiet for a short while before the curtain of the big tent was lifted and a burly man rushed in:

"Your Majesty, I will be the first one to go! There are only a hundred miles left, and we can reach it in no time with a quick march."

As soon as the man finished speaking, another person came in from behind him:

"Your Highness, no, Your Majesty, I'll go, I'll go! I want to go, too! If I go to the capital, I won't have to fight in the war!"

Then came the exasperated voice and futile arms of Ma Sanbao's apprentice at the door:

"Captain Wu!!! Captain Xue!!! You are here to see the emperor's report! Come out now!"

Zhu Di...

Ma Sanbao...

Song Sheng...

"Get out and do it again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

~~~~

When there was chaos inside and outside the big tent.

There was peace and tranquility in Prince Yan's Mansion.

Zhang Xin and Zhu Gaochi were each writing furiously at their desks.

Wei is coaxing her son to sleep.

Zhu Anle and Zhu Zhiming have already moved out of Zhang Xin's Xiaode Palace, but because they have developed feelings for each other, the two sisters no longer live separately and only live in one palace. Xu revealed some possible marriage partners to them in advance, and the two sisters are discussing it while sleeping in the same bed.

And Xu was discussing and answering questions for Zhu Zhanji before he went to bed.

Zhu Zhanji had a baby voice before he was two years old, but now he is over three and a half years old and speaks like a toddler.

He is also articulate and coherent when he wants to express something.

In an ordinary family, he can almost be called a child prodigy.

In his previous life, Zhu Zhanji was also a precocious person.

He would start to cheer his grandfather up for his father and mother at an early age.

Zhang Xin doesn't want her son to be like this in this life.

Zhu Gaochi should get whatever position he deserves, she just wants Zhu Zhanji to live a long life.

Moreover, for the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Zhu Zhanji's intelligence did not need to be exaggerated, and Zhang Xin always treated him as an ordinary child.

As for Zhu Zhanji's master, Monk Daoyan, it was a different story.

He taught Zhu Zhanji everything he knew, and even ignored Timur's invasion, and just focused on teaching Zhu Zhanji every day.

If Zhu Zhanji couldn't digest some things in class, Monk Daoyan would let him go home and think about them slowly.

If Zhu Zhanji still couldn't figure it out, he would discuss it with Xu or Zhang Xin.

"Today, Master told me the story of a man who has been away for three days, and one should look at him with new eyes. Grandma, have you heard of it?"

"Well, grandma knows this. Did our little fat boy understand the story?"

"I understand. It was Sun Quan who persuaded Lü Meng to study. Lü Meng really did study obediently, and this impressed Lu Su."

Zhu Zhanji was curled up in the quilt, with only his chubby face showing. He looked extremely cute, but what he said sounded extremely mature.

"What is it that you don't understand?"

Xu asked patiently.

"Master told me another story before, also about Lu Meng. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he said, 'If you don't explore the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger cub?' Why is the same person so inconsistent?"

Zhu Zhanji wrinkled his nose and pouted his lips, very confused.

Although the master did not boast about his intelligence all day long, he did say that he was smart.

And it is said that the more books you read and the more you keep learning, the smarter you will become.

It is impossible for an intelligent person to regress into a fool.

So did Lu Meng regress?

He could say such sensible things when he was fifteen or sixteen, but now he needs others to persuade him to study?

"Wow, my little Fatty is so amazing, he can even think of this!"

Xu was really a little scared.

"Master said that Sun Quan's Encouragement to Study is a very famous article in the Zizhi Tongjian, but I don't understand it."

Zhu Zhanji was a little depressed.

There must be a reason for being famous.

But where is the reason?

"Although it's a bit early, Xiaopang may not understand yet, but grandma, please explain it in detail."

Xu thought about it and realized that since her prince had become the emperor, Zhanji would inevitably face such things in the future. It didn't matter if he didn't understand. It wouldn't be a bad idea to write it down while the child was still young.

I guess Monk Daoyan meant the same thing.

Otherwise, it would be too early to talk about "Zizhi Tongjian" to such a young child.

"Grandma, tell me quickly."

Zhu Zhanji was thirsty for knowledge.

"On the surface, this article is about persuading uneducated subordinates to study and read, but in reality, it hides the power struggle in the Jiangdong government."

"Struggle for power?"

Zhu Zhanji understood something vaguely, but was still very confused and just stared at Xu.

"Yes, for power."

Xu tucked in the quilt for Zhu Zhanji, found a comfortable position to lie down, and then began to tell the story.

If you want to understand the "Encouraging Learning", you must first know the background in which it took place.

The background is the great victory in the Battle of Chibi.

Cao Cao was defeated and the allied forces of Sun and Liu won a great victory.

As a newcomer, Lu Meng stood out among the many brave generals in Jiangdong.

Because of the great victory in the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan began to hold real power and his prestige in the court soared.

The old ministers also began to look favorably upon Sun Quan.

The favor of the old ministers was not all Sun Quan wanted.

Sun Quan also wanted to overthrow the old people who were not on the same page with him, and recruit new people with great potential.

The scene described in "Encouraging Learning" is Sun Quan's way of killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Meng was one of the newcomers favored by Sun Quan, and he was also once a man of the old minister Zhang Zhao.
