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

Chapter 144 Pointing out the way

"I'm fine, mother... My mother said I was well-nourished and my blood and qi were fine. Did you induce labor?"

Xu's mind was in a state of confusion, but Zhang Xin was still confused.

"What the hell! Do you think having a baby is a top priority?"

Xu was not happy.

"Uh, mother, can you show me the way? My wife is stupid!!!"

Zhang Xin begged for mercy.

"Since your father has become the emperor, I will definitely appoint a queen. What about you, Chi'er?"

Xu pinched Zhang Xin's face and said, "How can you not take such an important matter seriously?"

"Ah, Dad can register whatever he wants. This is not something I should be thinking about."

Zhang Xin was frightened.

Xu never told her this in her previous life, at all.

Is there a rule for this? Does the mother-in-law want me to fight for it?

"Why not? You're just an idiot! If you were really an idiot, I wouldn't be saying this. But you're not an idiot. Now that your father hasn't come yet, let's discuss this."

Mrs. Xu looked at the dazed Zhang Xin and felt both angry and amused.

She cares about other people's affairs, but when it comes to her own affairs, she is as stupid as a cow.

"I think the prince can still be the crown prince. Does father want the second or third brother to be the crown prince?"

Zhang Xin really hadn't thought about this.

In his previous life, his father-in-law was indeed not very satisfied with Zhu Gaochi, but he still conferred the title on him in the end. He said that it was because he was a good grandson, but if Zhu Gaochi really did not meet his father-in-law's eyes, then what was the point of letting him govern the country later?

"What are you thinking about! I'm talking about whether the position can be passed to Zhanji smoothly in the future!"

Xu frowned, as if she wanted to shake the stupidity out of Zhang Xin's head.

"This. This—"

Zhang Xin widened her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands.

"Birth, aging, sickness and death happen to everyone! Why are you staring at me?

How long children live depends on their parents' generation. Adding and subtracting will probably yield a middle number.

The previous emperor was over seventy years old, and that one passed away very early.

To put it bluntly, your father probably won't live to the age of the late emperor. At most he will be in his sixties.

But even if you live to be in your sixties, that's still nearly twenty years.

It’s too long, enough for the former prince’s story, let’s do it again.

It’s enough to drive the four men in our family apart.”

Xu followed Zhang Xin's example and opened her eyes wide, staring back. Then she hugged Zhang Xin, who was in shock, and told her what she had to say today.

It was a foregone conclusion that Zhu Di would become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After they go to the capital together, there will definitely be a lot of people causing trouble, Xu sees it clearly.

The second and third sons both followed Zhu Di to fight in the wars, so they must have made military achievements, and some people would want to bet on them.

Then many of Xu's original ideas and practices must also be adjusted accordingly. . .

Xu has been thinking about this these days.

Zhu Gaochi's title of crown prince was designated by the previous emperor, and no one could overturn it.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were dissatisfied, but their main dissatisfaction was with the previous emperor.

As for the throne, Xu felt that although Zhu Gaochi had some shortcomings in every aspect, he was basically competent.

Since he was young, Zhu Gaochi has been a prince who knows how to behave.

Apart from not pleasing Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi had a lot of influence among his grandfather and the officials in the Prince of Yan's Palace.

But the two younger sons were also her own flesh and blood and were not suitable to be in charge of the palace, so Xu wanted to let them live a worry-free life.

So Xu did compensate her two sons.

The main thing is the financial subsidies after the division of the government in the future when Xu and Zhu Di are gone.

As long as they manage it well, they will never be in financial difficulties within three generations.

Before Zhu Gaochi got married, Xu and Zhu Di invited the three brothers to their side and made all the arrangements, and everyone agreed.

But when it comes to words, the three brothers still fight and look down on each other.

That is how the three brothers got along that Zhang Xin saw after she got married.

As for Zhu Gaochi, Xu originally thought that Zhu Gaochi was more inclined towards civil affairs and would become a prince guarding the border in the future, so he was lacking in martial arts.

So Zhu Zhanji was brought up as a child at an early age.

Zhu Zhanji started taking medicinal baths when he was one year old. Once his foundation was laid, he invited a skilled master to teach him.

A grandson with excellent martial arts skills was the bargaining chip she added to Zhu Gaochi.

As long as Zhu Zhanji grows up, he can help the eldest son to secure his position.

If the eldest son and his wife manage the fiefdom well, it will be stable when their grandson becomes a prince in the future.

Monk Daoyan is willing to teach about civil affairs, and it would be better if Zhu Zhanji could learn from him.

Being both civil and military, you will not be cheated by others in the future without knowing it.

It's just that things have developed to this point.

The situation has changed. The people in Zhu Gaochi's line are no longer just princes, crown princes and grandsons, but the emperor's crown prince and grandson of the emperor.

Zhu Di's counterattack was due to the fact that the civil officials were plotting against the royal family. According to Xu's understanding of Zhu Di, Zhu Di was extremely disgusted with those who were used to civil governance.

Sooner or later, there will be conflicts between father and son.

Once the identities of father and son are removed, the conflict becomes between the emperor and the prince.

It's too easy for someone to take advantage of you.

The late emperor had already fully demonstrated the foolishness of an old man.

Xu felt that Zhu Di would one day become as suspicious and thoughtful as the late emperor.

By then, even if no one else instigates him, Zhu Di will be able to cause trouble on his own.

Neither she nor Zhu Di knew who would leave first.

What if she left first, and Zhu Di suddenly became displeased with Zhu Gaochi again, who knows what he would do?

For the sake of his three sons, he lived well and died of old age.

In order to prevent the brothers from killing each other, she could only add more pressure on Zhu Zhanji.

This was not something that Xu could do alone, so she said she would discuss the rest of the matter with Zhang Xin.

"Chi'er is the eldest son and has been canonized as the Crown Prince. He should be the Crown Prince in the future.

But there are no normal people in the royal family.

My father-in-law even let a grandson inherit the throne, bypassing all his sons.

If I am gone, no one will be able to control your father-in-law."

When Xu said this, she sighed.

Sometimes plans are not as fast as changes, just like my man changed from a prince to an emperor.

She and Zhu Di originally just wanted to live in peace in a corner and rule the country.

Now that the throne is in front of his three sons, it's hard to guarantee that they won't have some thoughts.

"Mom will live a hundred years! Bah, bah, bah, say it again."

Zhang Xin quit.

She went to so much trouble to bring her mother-in-law into the mansion, wasn't it just so that her mother-in-law could live longer? She didn't need to curse herself like this.

"Okay, okay, bah, bah. I'll live like a thousand-year-old turtle!"

Xu was quick to accept good advice.

"...mother!"

Zhang Xin stared.

"Let's get down to business. Mom is in good health. She enjoys everything she eats. I guarantee she'll live to be eighty years old!"

Xu raised his hand to assure her.

"So what is mother going to do? I think mother has thought it through very carefully."

Seeing that Xu had promised, Zhang Xin withdrew her wide eyes and asked back.

She just felt that she had lived her whole life in vain, as she was not as foresighted as Xu, who guessed what would happen so early.

"I'm going to start teaching Xiaopang seriously. I don't know how much Xiaopang can accept right now. If he cries or something, you can't feel bad."

Xu was the first to reveal the truth.

"Hasn't mother been teaching me?"
