Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 30th year, October.

Zhang Xin organized a family dinner for the younger generation in the mansion.

This includes Zhu Gaoxu and his wife, Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Anle and Zhu Zhiming.

The little princess born to the concubine in my mother-in-law's backyard still hasn't appeared.

"Is the tea good?"

Zhang Xin asked Wei with a smile.

After Zhu Gaoxu married Zhu Gaochi, he also married Princess Wei at the end of the following year.

"Very well, sister-in-law."

Wei hurriedly put down the teacup before answering.

"Second sister-in-law is still so restrained, hehehe——"

Zhu Anle laughed when he saw Wei's fearful look.

Wei's face suddenly turned a little pale.

"Isn't that normal!"

Zhu Zhiming pushed Zhu Anle.

"Yeah, the same thing happened to the one I just married."

Zhang Xin raised her eyes and motioned to roll up her sleeves to go over and add more tea for Wei, and at the same time block Wei so that she could adjust her expression.

"Well, I have been timid since I was a child."

Wei looked at Zhang Xin with gratitude.

From the time she married into the palace until now, she has been filled with fear.

When they got married, the wet nurse went to inquire and was told that the Crown Prince's wife was very pleasing to the Princess, the only shortcoming being that she had not yet gotten pregnant. She was asked to work harder to give birth to a grandson so that her mother-in-law could see her more.

But there was nothing she could do if the child didn't come.

When Zhang Xin was pregnant, she also arranged a family dinner. She wanted to share in the good fortune, but more than half a year has passed and still nothing has happened.

She began to doubt herself.

"Let's play some cards. It would be boring to just sit there."

Zhu Anle was impatient with this half-said atmosphere and stood up to make a suggestion.

"Okay!"

Zhang Xin had no objection.

Several people started playing happily, and soon, Wei relaxed and became as happy as her little daughter for winning the game.

While Zhang Xin was dealing with a few children, she was worried about Zhu Gaochi.

Although she arranged a family dinner, the focus was not on the female family members, but on Zhu Gaochi's efforts to "seduce" Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

It took Zhang Xin several days to figure out her plan to make money.

There is no problem with the way to make money, Prince Ning is much more capable than her.

What we lack now is manpower.

After all, Zhao and her man were ordinary people, timid and with small appetites.

Zhang Xin was always timid when doing things, and she didn't want her wet nurse to worry about her.

So, Zhang Xin decided to use her two brothers-in-law.

Until later in life, Zhang Xin didn't know how to evaluate these two brothers.

Zhu Gaoxu tried his best to act like this, and in the end, he finally annoyed Zhanji and filled the entire Han Palace with him.

Zhu Gaosui was half active and half timid, first active and then timid, and finally he lived until his death in the sixth year of Xuande. At least he had descendants.

Zhang Xin stood in the position connected to her two brothers-in-law, and she could understand what they were doing.

I just can't accept it.

What their father-in-law did later made them feel that they had a chance.

But the final result fully demonstrated that they were no match for Zhu Gaochi or Zhu Zhanji.

In Zhang Xin's opinion, the reason these two didn't succeed is simply because they were not bad enough!

And it's very simple.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw Tian'er saying bad things about Zhu Gaochi in front of his father-in-law, he laughed at Zhu Gaochi for being fat to his face.

Zhu Gaosui's subordinates attempted to poison his father-in-law, and then forged an imperial edict to depose Zhu Gaochi and make Zhu Gaosui the emperor. His father-in-law discovered this, and Zhu Gaosui was so frightened that he spoke out of turn.

All of the above were the excuses Zhu Gaochi gave to cover up for the two of them.

In her previous life, Zhang Xin was angry.

The two younger brothers-in-law are making a fuss every day. She and Zhu Gaochi are already exhausted enough, but they still don't stop.

It was only later that Zhang Xin figured it out.

Without these two brothers-in-law, Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince who actually sat in the rear and acted as regent, might have been deposed by Zhu Di long ago.

The emperor fought hard outside, and when he came back, all the court officials praised the prince for his ability to govern the country.

So who is the emperor?

It is precisely because these two people failed again and again that Zhu Gaochi's "kindness" quality appears even more brilliant.

Every time Zhu Gaoxu's false accusations and Zhu Gaosui's arrogance and domineering behavior formed a sharp contrast with Zhu Gaochi's.

This made the court officials feel that the prince was more tolerant, kind and wise.

The two people who constantly caused trouble became the best foil for Zhu Gaochi's benevolent image.

My father-in-law could not find any reason to depose Zhu Gaochi.

If he was forcibly deposed, no matter whether Zhu Gaoxu or Zhu Gaosui was enthroned, the court officials would be unable to do anything.

My father-in-law only has three sons.

In the end, the father-in-law had no choice but to accept it.

However, people who are valued by their father-in-law also have their merits.

Zhu Gaoxu was fond of martial arts and meritorious service, and was good at riding and shooting. He followed his father-in-law on many expeditions and made great contributions.

He was not very interested in women, was not a heavy drinker, and was not lustful. There were very few women in his backyard, so Princess Wei always lived a happier life than Zhang Xin.

After he became the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu was given a concubine named Guo.

Little Guo is as charming and graceful as big Guo.

At that time, Wei showed off to Zhang Xin, and little Guo threw a coquettish glance at Blind Bear.

Zhang Xin later read the poem written by Zhu Gaoxu——

The Penglai Palace embodies the clear autumn, and the airy guest leans leisurely on the building enjoying the breeze.

The sea and sky are as blue as a cup of water, and the nine fields of dust divide the Central Plains.

The fairy from the clouds returns with the sound of her jade pendant, and the purple phoenix makes her home in the Qi Garden.

Looking far into the west, I see half the forest is green; I know the peaches in the Jade Pool are not yet ripe.

So the blind bear is not necessarily blind, but he just has no ambition to succeed in this field. According to the artistic conception of this poem, Zhu Gaoxu both yearns for the Taoist realm of freedom and hopes to establish achievements in the secular world.

Zhu Gaosui was also good at fighting, but his academic performance was average. He was arrogant and domineering, but timid.

When Zhanji was in power, whenever there was any disturbance, Zhu Gaosui would write a long letter with detailed explanations.

In the end, he requested to return the Changshan Guards, the Herdsmen's Office, and the Ceremonial Guards' officers and schools to the court.

Zhang Xin later studied the attempt to murder his father-in-law in detail and concluded that it was not him who did it. His staff thought that their master had a chance and wanted to push him to the top.

So, taking advantage of this time, while his father-in-law had not yet started his counterattack, everyone was being friendly and respectful to each other, and Zhu Gaochi had not yet realized the role that his two younger brothers could play.

Send these two brothers-in-law out to see the outside world.

People who have seen the vastness of the world will naturally have a different perspective?

It just so happened that this time, King Ning planned to go to Annan.

The place that my father-in-law will conquer in the future.

King Ning also planned to travel around Annan, buying and selling as he went.
