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

My father was fooled by the civil servants in the court. He used a ridiculous excuse to skip over all his brothers and enthroned a nothing grandson as the crown prince.

In order to ensure that the crown prince could secure his position, his father fabricated the Lan Yu case, and all the people originally matched with his eldest brother were executed.

The subordinates and personal soldiers of these people, who were not of high rank and were killed, all fell into the hands of him and his third brother, Prince Jin.

To be honest, Zhu Di didn't dislike Zhu Yunwen that much at first.

But so many people died before he even took office.

Those who were not dead were dispersed and sent here. In Zhu Di's army, everyone was depressed.

It doesn't matter if I risk my life for the Ming Dynasty, but it doesn't matter if I risk my life for the Ming Dynasty, because I'm afraid they will be unhappy about it.

The superiors and the leaders were all framed and killed.

They couldn't be happy.

This sentiment also greatly affected Zhu Di's original military personnel.

Everyone is afraid of being killed.

Many people came to Zhu Di to test his intentions.

What could Zhu Di say?

It can only be comforted.

But even after comforting others, his heart was broken.

Dad, you were a wise man all your life, but now you are confused as you get older!

The Northern Yuan forces had not been completely eliminated, and the world was still not at peace. For the sake of a king who was uncertain whether he could maintain his power in the future, the generals who were sure to be able to fight were killed.

Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

These people in the court simply think that the young emperor is easier to control!

He originally thought that his father had already made the choice, and as a son, he had to accept it no matter how unhappy he felt.

After all, he is still his father's son, so he will not suffer any loss in food or clothing.

But last year my second brother died, and the new King of Qin, who was his eldest son, could not even get the annual salary.

This is difficult to comment on.

If he is old and unable to fight, is it necessary for him to guard the border? Will the court still support him?

If it was like this when my father was in power, what about when Zhu Yunwen came to power?

Will Prince Yan’s Mansion be unable to even raise a child in the future?

Zhu Di only felt that he was the dog that was cooked after the rabbit was dead, and the bow that was hidden after the bird was dead.

Zhu Di fell into deep thought and didn't say anything, and Xu didn't urge him.

There are so many difficulties.

She followed her husband, and if Zhu Di made up his mind, she would have no choice but to follow him.

It is possible that in order to guard against Zhu Di, the father-in-law had pushed the Xu family into Zhu Yunwen's hands in advance and ordered the Duke of Wei to guard the capital.

Xu's family, including dozens of people, live in the capital.

Xu's eldest brother, the current Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, cannot act rashly for the sake of the entire Xu family. Any action could lead to disaster.

Xu mentioned her dissatisfaction with Zhu Yunwen several times in her letters, but was always scolded back.

Xu's younger brother, Xu Zengshou, told Xu that he was only close to his brother-in-law, but he could not make the decisions for the Xu family.

"If you are unsure, just hang it up for now."

Xu couldn't make the decision herself, let alone for Zhu Di.

They are all blood relatives.

Once it starts, it's a fight to the death.

If you can't even pass that level, what's the point of getting that position?

"Well, that can only be the case."

Zhu Di sighed and nodded.

"What did Monk Daoyan say? Is Chi'er going to die young?"

Putting aside the matter concerning the entire palace, Xu went back to what Zhu Di said at the beginning.

My grandson has the qualities of an emperor, but my son doesn’t?

Isn't that what the former prince did?

"I asked him that, and he said it was not a sign of a short life."

Zhu Di was also a little confused about this.

When he first met Monk Daoyan, he said he wanted to give him a white hat.

The king adds white.

When they arrived in Yan, Monk Daoyan met Zhu Gaochi, said nothing, and went back to the temple to chant.

A few years ago, Monk Daoyan suddenly brought up the old matter again.

It just so happened that he had the same thoughts in this regard, so Monk Daoyan often came to play chess with him.

But today is the first time Zhu Gaochi was mentioned.

"The Crown Prince must be Chi'er. No matter what position he holds, it must be Chi'er."

Xu was the first to reveal her choice.

In terms of intelligence, the second and third sons combined are not half as smart as the eldest son. The eldest son is just not good at this aspect of martial arts.

If Zhu Di wanted his second or third son to take over the position of Prince of Yan, Xu would firmly oppose it.

Impulsiveness, recklessness, and high profile, any one of these factors determines that these two people are more suitable for expanding new territories.

"I didn't say to change people—"

Zhu Di felt a little guilty.

Upon hearing this, Xu just glanced at Zhu Di. Even without saying anything, she expressed what she wanted to say clearly.

"How can he not tell us about his shortcomings? He is so petty, he doesn't even take me, his father, seriously!"

Zhu Di roared with his neck stiffened.

"Humph, I can see through your mind with my toes. You used to despise me, but you've only gotten better recently. Do you think I'm blind? Your son is even less blind!"

Xu's hand holding the teacup didn't even tremble, and she yelled back.

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. Anyway, your son is very smart! Your son has all his mother's intelligence, and he is even smarter than her!"

Zhu Di was so angry that he spoke without thinking.

"Hahaha, it's good to know!"

Xu was amused.

"You called me stupid again—"

Zhu Di had already said it, and he was too embarrassed to take it back, so he could only act arrogantly.

"That's not the case. I'm just not smart enough."

Xu smiled and scratched Zhu Di's old face.

"Humph!"

"You are just the right person to be my husband!"

“Hehehe!!!”

"Do you want to eat oranges? Peel them for the prince."

"I want no white silk at all."

"it is good--"

Xu picked up the white silk of the oranges for Zhu Di very cleanly. Zhu Di enjoyed being fed by his wife. Finally, he summarized the topic of the night:

"Let's wait until Daoyan comes out of seclusion. My father is still strong and healthy. Worry about tomorrow will come tomorrow—"

"Okay." Xu didn't care. After agreeing, she remembered something else. "My daughter-in-law gave me some money."

"Have a drink! There is such a good thing."

"Eight thousand taels."

"So many? Where did they come from?"

"The future of the dowry. She said that what she earns is just a small portion, and the Ning Wang earns the big portion."

"They are all richer than me..."

Zhu Di was upset.

They are all fathers, and my daughter-in-law’s father is very supportive and gives her real things.

The banknotes his father gave him filled up several warehouses and he couldn't even spend them.

Well, it seems that I haven't done a very good job as a boss and haven't given anything to my sons. How about asking Ma Sanbao to tidy up the warehouse and give some things to my sons and daughters?

"I'm planning to renovate our Prince Yan's Mansion. After so many years, we're still living in the corners. What do you think of expanding it, Your Majesty?"

Xu asked again.

"Well, that's perfect. I need a place too. You can gather around me when the time comes."

Zhu Di immediately remembered the plan he had made with Monk Daoyan. Now the weapons in the army were either missing or damaged, but the court would not provide new ones.

He still has some money, but he has no idea where to spend it.

This is just right.

"Okay. Wherever the prince wants, I'll send the blueprints from the palace over tomorrow. Once the land is marked off, I can do the work."
