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

"So Uncle Eighteen refused to go back. He doesn't even have a proper palace. Fifteen years! How dare you say that!"

Zhang Xin didn't know much about the twists and turns during the Hongwu period, and only now did he realize it.

Uncle Eighteen also had a family when he was enfeoffed, but he didn't even build a palace for him! Absolutely amazing!

"Why not? Dahua, you don't know much about the Mu family. The former Xining Marquis Mu Chun and the current Mu Sheng are not born from the same mother. Mu Chun was born to Mu Ying's first wife Feng, and Mu Sheng was born to his second wife Geng. Geng is Geng Bingwen's biological sister. In other words, Grandpa Geng is Mu Sheng's biological uncle. Doesn't my royal grandfather have to take a step back?"

Zhu Gaochi revealed another shocking revelation.

"Ah? Is there still such a thing?"

Zhang Xin opened her mouth wide.

The Geng family is related to the Mu family. She has never paid attention to this in her two lifetimes.

"Yes, the Mu family is very tough. Uncle Eighteen was tricked before he became a vassal, and they didn't stop even after he became a vassal."

If Zhu Gaochi was not the crown prince, he would have wanted to applaud the Mu family.

All the twists and turns in this matter were told to Zhu Di when his eighteenth uncle was determined not to return to Yunnan this time.

When Zhu Xun brought his whole family to the fiefdom, there wasn't even a proper royal palace.

Even if Mu Sheng didn't say anything, the local chieftain understood.

This is a vassal prince who is not valued by the emperor, and also a member of the Zhu family who is not liked by the Mu family.

Therefore, his attitude towards Zhu Yu was naturally not very warm, and he firmly supported the Mu family, who were actually in power in Yunnan.

It’s okay to not be enthusiastic, and it’s okay to support others.

Princes usually have guards. As long as Zhu Xun has the guards, the Mu family will not be able to do anything to him.

So Zhu Yu wrote a letter and asked his royal grandfather to give it to the person.

However, his royal grandfather had his sights set on the Mu family's army and ordered the Mu Mansion to allocate three guards to protect King Min.

At Mu Sheng's suggestion, Mu Chun once again reported to Zhu Yuanzhang that the Yunnan soldiers were accustomed to fighting and were an important force in protecting Yunnan. If they were used to protect the royal palace, the stability of Yunnan could not be guaranteed.

This memorial once again put his royal grandfather on a high pedestal.

Do you want the safety of Yunnan or the safety of your son and his family?

There was no other way, so his royal grandfather finally issued an edict to disband two of the three guards of King Min and put the remaining guard under the jurisdiction of Mu Mansion.

Zhu Xun was a prince, but not only did he not have a palace, he didn't even have a guard that he could truly control.

But what can he say? If his own father can’t behave like a human being, how can he expect others to behave like human beings?

Zhu Yu endured three years in Yunnan, and was suppressed by the Mu family everywhere.

It was not until the 31st year of Hongwu that Mu Chun died in battle while suppressing a rebellion.

At that time, he thought that he could finally hold his head high. Unexpectedly, Mu Chun's younger brother Mu Sheng inherited the title, and Mu Sheng was even more difficult to deal with than Mu Chun.

In fact, most of Mu Chun’s memorials back then were written by Mu Sheng.

Under Mu Sheng's suppression, Zhu Yu had no place to stay.

Moreover, although Mu Sheng's title came from his father and brother, it was conferred by Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen himself, so Mu Sheng was actually a minister of Jianwen.

In August of the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yunwen issued an edict to reduce the power of the feudal lords three months after he ascended the throne.

The reason why Zhu Yu, who was far away in Yunnan, was weakened in the first wave was because of Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng collected a wide range of evidence of Zhu Yun's crimes and handed them all to Zhu Yunwen, giving Zhu Yunwen an excuse to take action.

This action triggered a series of reactions.

The direct result is that the person sitting in the position now is his father, not that stupid Zhu Yunwen.

"You know what happened next. My father actually didn't like Mu Sheng very much, but he wanted my eighteenth uncle to restore the fiefdom, but he refused. At that time, we still had to fight Jiaozhi, so if we wanted to use him, we had to make him our own. So Zhiming later married Mu Sheng's brother. So Mu Xin couldn't go back to Yunnan. It was almost like she was detained in the country."

Zhu Gaochi felt quite sympathetic towards his eighteenth uncle, Mu Xin, and Zhu Zhiming. After all, they were all pawns of the imperial power.

Fortunately, Mu Xin has a good relationship with his sister.
