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

The family in the palace was discussing how to implement the capital relocation and how to "appease" the literati.

In the dark night of the capital, many houses were brightly lit.

Many court officials did not go home after the court session ended, but gathered in groups of three or five at someone's home or in a secret restaurant to discuss the topics discussed in today's court session.

"We cannot move the capital. This would be a waste of money and manpower. Your Majesty is foolish!"

"Fool, you are confused."

"Is the Emperor planning to settle the score later? Using the relocation of the capital as an excuse?"

"From now on, I will say goodbye to the small bridges and flowing water, and live with the wind and sand all day long. When you play the music, you don't have to be afraid of eating a mouthful of sand!"

"Our century-old foundation is all in the south. If we move to the north, all the years of operation here will be in vain."

"Who says it isn't?"

"Eating will be a problem by then. We have to transport food from thousands of miles away, and the tribute from the south will be at least half of what we received. How can we feed a large family?"

"The previous emperor was so foolish. I don't understand this new emperor."

"They threw a bunch of random punches. Two young regents, have you ever tried this?"

"Humph! Someone who can act crazy and stupid, do you think you can tell whether he is a human or a ghost at this moment?"

"The late emperor is a person who cannot be opposed in public, but even if he is opposed, he will forget it quickly. This one is difficult."

"Your Majesty, you are the one who can dig up a person's grave after he dies, take out his corpse and whip it."

"Alas, Lord Chen, his death was too tragic. He was just being loyal to the emperor. Why did he have to—"

"You can't just say that. The day before yesterday, didn't that person flatter the wrong person?"

"So no one can understand the new emperor's pulse?"

"It can't be so fast!"

"What do you think of those three, Lord He?"

"Big smart."

"Isn't he a cripple?"

"You believe this. They say the elder one didn't want to marry the granddaughter of the old Guo family, so he was beaten by the emperor."

"So, what should we do here at the Guo family?"

"Don't worry - Lao Guo is very smart! You think you are writing articles, but he sells you out the next time."

"Did the Guo family place their bets early?"

"Of course not. His family sent someone in there back then. Although he didn't get anything out of it, the Guo family has stood firm for three dynasties and is thriving."

"Now these soldiers have learned their lesson."

"Just do what needs to be done. I have seen this man clearly in the past six months since he ascended the throne. If he doesn't like you, he can find a reason to rage even if he does nothing."

"My teacher has not done anything serious until now. He is resentful of my teacher for opposing his ascension to the throne and for not writing an imperial edict."

"Hey, there are only three sons in your family? No illegitimate son or anything like that?"

"No, didn't you listen to what was said when the Queen was canonized? You are just like the late emperor!"

"The queen is virtuous?"

"Hard to say."

"How about urging the Emperor to appoint a crown prince?"

"This is fine. Big, small, medium, let's try them all."

Ming Dynasty, the first year of Yongle, February.

【All the books of classics, history, philosophy, and hundreds of schools of thought since the beginning of writing, as well as the words on astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medicine, divination, monks, and arts, have been compiled into one book, without being too tiring of its vastness.】

"From the beginning of written records, whether it is classics, history, philosophy, literature, or knowledge of astronomy, geography, yin and yang, the five elements, medicine, divination, monks, and various crafts, all should be collected and compiled into a book. Don't complain that the content is too much."

Xu would explain Zhu Di's new edicts to Zhu Zhanji every day.

After Lin Sancheng became his reading companion, he naturally listened along.

The same goes for Tang Sai'er, who was raised by Xu.

Finally, there is the oldest Princess Baoqing.

“So many to compile into one book?”

Princess Baoqing asked cautiously.

"Aunt, a book can be divided into many volumes."

Zhu Zhanji often hangs out in the study, so he knows everything about it.

"Yes. A book can be divided into upper, middle and lower volumes, or it can be divided into volumes. It all depends on how the editor arranges it."

Xu held Princess Baoqing in her arms and explained it in more detail.

It's really a sin to say the least.

After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he had no time to care about this little kid who was of no use to him.

The people in the palace have always been the most snobbish.

Concubine Zhang and Princess Baoqing are two invisible people living in the palace.

The seven-year-old Princess Baoqing is very small and looks only four or five years old.

When he first came to Xu's side, he couldn't even speak coherently.

I heard from the palace maids around her that she was frightened at first.

With the encouragement of Zhu Zhanji and Tang Sai'er, he finally got much better, but he still often spoke according to other people's expressions.

From the age of four to seven, no one arranged for her to receive any enlightenment classes, and now she doesn't even know how to read.

Speaking of it, most of the princesses of the Hongwu Dynasty were pitiful people.

Princess Lin'an, Princess Ningguo, Princess Chongning, Princess Anqing, Princess Runing, Princess Huaiqing, Princess Daming, Princess Fuqing, Princess Shouchun, the Tenth Princess, Princess Nankang, Princess Yongjia, the Thirteenth Princess, Princess Hanshan, Princess Ruyang and Princess Baoqing.

There are sixteen princesses in total.

The tenth and thirteenth princesses died before they got married. Several others died early after they got married.

The princesses' husbands-in-law were either killed or exiled during the years when my grandfather carried out the killing spree.

At this time, only the princes-in-law of Princess Lin'an, Princess Runing, Princess Huaiqing, Princess Fuqing, Princess Hanshan, and Princess Ruyang were still alive.

The rest are widows.
