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

After Mu Xin took them around Yuzhen Palace, the people who followed Zhang Xin memorized where to get water, where to cook, and all the daily needs.

Mu Xin then took his leave and left.

Zhang Xin took Zhu Zhanyong back to the side hall and ordered:

"Wanxiu, go and ask Lord Wei to come over."

"Yes, Your Highness."

He rolled up his sleeves and left.

Zhu Zhanyong, who was slumped on the couch beside him, could only sit up again:

"Aren't you going to rest, mother? Why are you still looking for Lord Wei?"

"Does your uncle have any jade pendants or something like that? Or scent bags?"

Zhang Xin could smell a faint fragrance all the way.

The people around her don't need fragrance, so the fragrance can only come from Mu Xin.

But Mu Xin is alone here, and Zhang Xin is only worried that he will suffer the same problems from his previous life in this life.

"Uh, I didn't notice..."

Zhu Zhanyong scratched his head, turned his head and raised his chin to look at his personal eunuch Shili.

"Your Highness, Commander Mu has a Pisces jade pendant on his waist, and he may also have a scented sachet on his body. I smell the scent of osmanthus."

Shili bowed and answered cleverly.

"Yeah. Watching?"

Zhang Xin snorted in his heart and asked again.

"Your Highness, it's quite neat, but maybe it's because the people below serve well?"

Shili provides another idea.

"Maybe."

If Zhang Xin didn't know about her past life, she would have made the same inference. Unfortunately, she knew.

Wei Guan came over quickly.

Zhang Xin only reported Mu Xin's name, and Wei Guan nodded clearly and left.

There were many places that needed to be cleaned up in the side hall. Zhang Xin asked his son to watch everyone work while he went to bed to take a nap.

Mu Xin was one of the outsiders who was most affected by her second chance.

Mu Xin was the fifth son of Mu Ying, Marquis of Xiping, and his biological mother was his concubine Yan.

Mu Ying died of illness in the 25th year of Hongwu. At that time, Mu Xin was only three years old and had four older brothers who were much older than him.

The one who inherited the title from the Mu family was Mu Ying's eldest son Mu Chun, who continued to guard Yunnan under Mu Ying's orders.

In the 31st year of Hongwu, Mu Chun died of illness in the army at the age of 36. Mu Ying's second son Mu Sheng inherited the title.

After Mu Sheng inherited the title, he caught up with Zhu Di's attack on Annan. Because of his meritorious service in the conquest of Annan, he was promoted to Duke of Qian and continued to guard Yunnan. The third son, Mu Ang, followed his brother to guard, and the fourth son, Mu Chang, died early.

The older brothers had already married and had children. When Zhu Di wanted to consolidate the relationship between the monarch and his subjects through marriage, Mu Xin was the only option left.

At that time, Zhu Anle and Zhu Zhiming were promised to the Song family by Zhu Di.

Since there were no more daughters of the Xu family, Princess Changning, who was not born to the Xu family, became the only choice.

To be honest, Princess Changning has always been a very invisible person in the palace.

But as the emperor's daughter, marrying Mu Xin, who was born to a concubine, was considered marrying down.

As the youngest son, Mu Xin's father's connections and military relationships were all divided up by his older brothers, making him even more obscure than an unknown person in the Mu family.

After marrying Princess Changning, he became a very good person.

He simply attacked wherever Zhu Di pointed.

At the beginning, Mu Xin was just like the princes-in-law of the Hongwu Dynasty, a servant who helped deliver things all over the country.

For example, he sent cattle, sheep, horses, wine, and rare and precious items from foreign countries to the King of Zhou three times in two years without any complaints.

There is no doubt how difficult it is to transport living cattle, sheep and horses.

For example, he was sent out to welcome the U-Tsang Shang Shi Halima.

After Mu Xin had done these welcoming and seeing off tasks to the great satisfaction of Zhu Di, he finally got a big job.

Just like this time, he was responsible for the construction of the palace and temple in Wudang Mountain together with Longping Hou Zhang Xin.

This renovation took almost ten years.

The officials who supervised the construction with him at that time all commented on Mu Xin - he worked hard day and night.

Zhu Di was particularly impressed by some of the auspicious signs that Mu Xin and Zhang Xin discovered during their time in Wudang Mountain.

Things like the sensation of black clouds, the fruiting of mulberry trees, the auspicious response from heaven, the "appearance" of the God Zhenwu, etc. were all inscribed one by one by Mu Xin in the "Imperial Stele of the Palace on the Taihe Mountain Road".

The last sentence, "God's response is like this," hit Zhu Di's heart directly.

Therefore, during the Yongle period, Mu Xin was extremely favored by Zhu Di, and even at the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the capital, Mu Xin was ordered to "perform the ceremony" on Zhu Di's behalf.

Mu Xin's affair was exposed only after Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne.

He took government wood without permission and built his own private residence. He forced women to become his concubines and indulged in evil. He expanded government streets without permission, destroyed soldiers' barracks, and demolished the government warehouses to build his own private residence. He stole bricks, tiles, and timber from the public and extorted craftsmen from the army. He also occupied government land and forced the people to farm the land. His greed was insatiable.

At that time, Zhu Gaochi had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable.

Just by sealing the impeachment memorial and giving Mu Xin a warning, Mu Xin's illegal crime was pardoned.

At that time, Zhang Xin didn't pay much attention to Mu Xin.

Princess Changning was an unknown person before she got married, and she died a few years after her marriage.

At that time, there were rumors that Mu Xin was not kind to Princess Changning.

But at that time, Xu was still there. When Princess Changning returned to the palace, she would usually go directly to Zhu Di and Xu, or even go directly to Zhu Di without going through Xu. She would only say hello to Zhang Xin when they met.

Princess Changning's funeral was grand, but that was all.

Afterwards, Zhang Xin had no reason to pay attention to Mu Xin, a widower.

All we know is that this man was quite capable of handling things. He coaxed Zhu Di into doing what he wanted and even sent women into the palace for Zhu Di.

In this life, Zhu Anle and Zhu Zhiming were not married off early by Zhu Di like in their previous life because they were running a girls' school and other miscellaneous matters.

But Zhu Anle finally married into the Song family. She did not marry the divorced Princess Song Hu, but Song Ying.

Zhu Zhiming married Mu Xin, whom he met by chance in the Treasure House when he accompanied his brother to Beijing to pay homage to Zhu Di.

At that time, Zhang Xin couldn't stop it anyway.

Zhu Zhiming was a little old at that time and it was difficult for her to get married, so she could only look for widows, which of course Zhu Zhiming was not very happy about.

Mu Xin, who happened to be one year younger than her, showed up.

Zhu Zhiming was eager to get married, and Zhu Di also thought she was a good match, so the marriage went smoothly.

After they got married, they settled in the capital.

Zhu Zhiming continued to be busy with her own affairs, and Mu Xin just assisted her.

Prince Zhou has been living in the capital all his life, so Mu Xin doesn't need to send him anything, but he has never been idle. He goes to the palace from time to time to make his presence felt here and to show his loyalty to Zhu Di.

After the capital was moved, he traveled between the capital and the city. Finally, Zhu Di gave him the job at Wudang Mountain.

This made Zhang Xin pay more attention to Mu Xin.

Zhu Zhiming did not die as early as Princess Changning. Given the closeness between Zhang Xin and Zhu Zhiming, if she suffered any grievances, she would definitely tell Zhang Xin.

At the end of last year, Mu Xin wrote a letter asking for leave in order to take Zhu Zhiming to visit Wudang Mountain, and not return to Beijing for the New Year.

Just now Mu Xin also said that their little family is very harmonious.

So, just now, Zhang Xin felt that everything was fine.

But as soon as Mu Xin stood beside her, the faint fragrance drifted over.

In a military family, unless the family is a playboy, there is no one who wears perfume or powder.

He is away from home all year round.

What if there are some things that Zhu Zhiming doesn’t know?

Just like what was revealed in the last life, there was absolutely no news before the censor impeached him.

Even if it was exposed, he would still be a meritorious official and a noble relative.

The emperor likes ministers who can speak and do things. Mu Xin has served four emperors, Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande and Zhengtong, and he still enjoys the emperor's favor. This is his ability.

"I am back!"

When Zhang Xin was lost in thought, Zhu Gaochi's words broke the silence in the room.

Everyone in the room started moving, and Zhang Xin sat up and waited for Zhu Gaochi to approach.
