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

"So there was a Great Xia before our Great Ming?"

Zhu Zhanyong seemed to be thinking deeply after listening to this.

"Yes, there are. If Ming Yuzhen hadn't died, maybe our family would be in North Korea."

Zhu Zhanji felt sad.

"So brother, you won the fight almost without fighting?"

Zhu Zhanji was completely bewildered. He led tens of thousands of people out, but they didn't fight?

"Ah, almost."

Zhu Zhanji spread his hands.

"Big bro is so lucky!!!"

Zhu Jiabao yelled.

"Fat Si, you have to know that luck is the key to success."

Zhu Zhanji grinned.

"Is Ming Sheng from the Ming family very powerful?"

Zhu Zhanyong is older, so his ideas are naturally different from the two younger ones.

"That's right, Fatty is still smart! But he's just average."

Zhu Zhanji patted Zhu Zhanyong on the shoulder to express his appreciation.

Mingsheng met with him.

It was a very pleasant meeting.

They played several games of chess together, and Mingsheng also drew a picture for Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji himself was good at everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In his opinion, Mingsheng's talent was slightly better than average, but not good enough to be evaluated as very good.

But Mingsheng is indeed a good person.

While playing chess and chatting, Mingsheng inadvertently revealed his indifference to the country.

He said that when his great-grandfather was alive, he knew he was too young to control the Great Xia Kingdom, so he tried to show goodwill to his great-grandfather.

Twice in a row.

The first time was in the first year of Hongwu, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, and he sent envoys to deliver a letter of congratulations.

The second time was in the second year of Hongwu, when my great-grandfather sent envoys to Daxia to solicit timber. In addition to providing timber, Mingsheng also presented specialties from Ba and Shu.

However, later on, the government of the Great Xia was controlled by powerful officials.

He was unable to resist at all and was trapped in the deep palace with Empress Dowager Peng.

The line from my great-grandfather was broken.

Zhu Zhanji felt that if Emperor Mingsheng had been a few years older when he ascended the throne, he might have been able to take control of the government.

The feeling he showed was very similar to Zhu Gaochi. He was not fawning on his superiors, and dared to speak and act. He was courteous to his subordinates and had no airs.

As a king of a fallen country who was invisibly exiled, he was able to thrive in North Korea.

Zhu Zhanji believed it.

If he had been given a few more years to win the hearts of the people, the Great Xia Kingdom might not have declined.

The Central Plains may now be a place where two countries coexist.

During those years when my great-grandfather did all kinds of evil things to help Zhu Yunwen ascend to the throne, it is hard to say whether, if they had a choice, the military heroes would have defected to Daxia, which had a young and benevolent monarch.

Ming family, time and fate——

"It is unacceptable to be arrogant."

Zhang Xin heard Zhu Zhanji's complacency and reminded him.

"That's right, big brother is showing off his skills!"

Zhu Jiabao agreed with Zhang Xin to sabotage.

"Hmph, then Fatty, tell me, how did I get so cocky?"

Zhu Zhanji could not refute Zhang Xin and could only smile at Zhu Jiabao.

"Mom, go ahead and tell my brother his tail is about to fly up to the sky!"

Zhu Jiabao pouted and brought up Zhang Xin.

"That won't work. Mother has her own way of speaking, and you have to say it, too. Otherwise, will your brother be slandered in vain?"

Zhu Zhanji did not let Zhu Jiabao go.

"Hehe, just say it! I think they might have lost to you on purpose! Just like those people in the main hall who are obviously older than me but always can't write as well as me."

Zhu Jiabao was not panicked either.

"Hiss—what did Fatty eat? He suddenly became smarter!"

Zhu Zhanji acted as if he was terrified, which made Zhu Jiabao giggle.

"Fat Si is smart. Humph."

Zhu Gaochi was taken away by his two younger brothers. He had just sent his two younger brothers away when he entered the room and heard Zhu Zhanji's words, and immediately defended him.

"father!"

"father!"

"father!"

"father!"

"Your Highness, why are you here so early? Don't you want to meet up with your second and third brothers?"

The children saluted and called people, while Zhang Xin asked questions.

"They won't leave until next year, so there's no rush." ​​Zhu Gaochi sat down next to Zhang Xin after answering, and started to drive them away, "It's time to settle them down. Your mother usually sleeps by now, so you all have to get up early tomorrow."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Gaochi's expression and wisely left with his three younger brothers and sisters.

Zhang Xin only heard a burst of rustling sounds, and then the room became quiet.

After Wanxiu and the servants in the room helped Zhang Xin and Zhu Gaochi to wash and dress, they were also sent away by Zhu Gaochi.

As soon as he lay down in the bed, Zhu Gaochi turned sideways and moved Zhang Xin so that her face was facing him.

"Big flower."

"Ok?"

"Big flower."

"Ok?"

"Big flower."

"explain--"

"It's okay. I just wanted to yell at you. The pillow pushed your face up against your nose. It looks a little funny."

"Get lost! Your face can even squeeze your other cheek, and you still have the nerve to talk about me!"

"I can't see. Are you really okay? I suddenly feel so heartbroken today."

"Ugh. I think it's fine. I don't have to look at your fat face!"

"Zhang Dahua, are you saying one thing and thinking another? I want to comfort you, but I don't know how."

"No need to comfort me."

"why?"

"You still want me to be a wronged monster, whining every day?"

"You can be aggrieved. You can whine. You can go crazy. You can cry."

"You think I'm that kind of person?"

"It could be. Don't demand perfection, don't force yourself to smile."

"Got it. I didn't force a smile."

"Big flower."

"go to bed!"

"Oh."

~~~~

The next morning, Zhu Gaochi left.

Zhang Xin still went to the greenhouse to bask in the sun.

I have eye problems now and cannot write.

There are many things she can only do in her mind.

After listening to Zhu Zhanji talk about Mingsheng yesterday, Zhang Xin recalled some related things in her previous life.

Ming Yuzhen had a nickname, "Mingyanzi" because he was blinded in his right eye by a stray arrow during a battle.

Yao Guangxiao mentioned this in his previous life.

This shows that Yuzhen was originally the ruler of the world, and people born with double pupils have the appearance of an emperor.

But it's because one eye is blind.

So, this blessing was lost.

In the end, he only served as ruler for a few years.

Otherwise, judging from the size of the territory alone, when the late emperor first established his dynasty, it was not as big as the Great Xia Kingdom.

The name Mingsheng.

Zhang Xin also vaguely remembered it.

In my previous life, my mother-in-law died in the fifth year of Yongle.

For the purpose of appeasement and also for the control of the suzerain state over the vassal state.

In the sixth year of Yongle, my father-in-law sent an envoy to Korea and had two requests to Korea.

One was to ask North Korea to help track down the whereabouts of the missing Zhu Yunwen, and the other was to ask North Korea to pay tribute with women.

Since his father-in-law had spoken, Li Fangyuan dared not disobey.

Marriage was banned in Korea at that time. After a vigorous selection process that lasted several months, the three chosen women, namely Kwon, Im, Lee, Lu, and Choi, were all daughters of powerful eunuchs in Korea.

The only thing missing here is the women from Yin’s family, the one Mingsheng married.

When the five daughters of the Korean noble family were sent to the capital, their fathers-in-law were greatly disappointed.
