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

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhang Guangping, the brother of Princess Ning, were relatively honest at the beginning, after all, they knew nothing.

These two people who have no interest in reading have one thing in common: they can't sit still and are very interested in doing something practical.

So they hit it off immediately.

Every day I follow the old people who have been out to sea and learn with an open mind.

If you don’t understand, just ask.

If you don’t know how to study.

Although he was originally a dandy boy, he was actually highly regarded by the old people on the boat.

After a round, when they came back, the two of them had already learned most of the basics they needed to know about going out to sea.

Just at this time, some short-sighted Japanese pirates set their sights on their returning treasure ship.

They fired a few shots and destroyed the other party's ship.

After the captured Japanese pirates were severely tortured, many of their strongholds were revealed.

He also said that because the court was investigating strictly, the things they had looted over the past year had not yet been shipped out.

Immediately, the two young men's eyes lit up.

Anyway, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. In the end, the two let the other nine ships loaded with cargo go first, leaving only an empty treasure ship, and brought a group of frigates to do black-eating-black business in the vicinity.

They circled around the sea, collecting goods from one point to another, and always met some "colleagues".

These two brothers are not polite to outsiders.

In the Ming Dynasty, anyone who went out to sea without permission would be killed, just like these two.

Anyway, it eats from both ends and has been rampant in this area for nearly a month.

When the news reached the imperial court, it became known that Japanese pirates were rampant at sea.

This is why Xu Huizu was sent out to capture the Japanese pirates.

"This is too indiscriminate. Killing some people outside is fine, but are you also robbing people from the Ming Dynasty? You've won, right? Xu'er is really good at fighting!!!"

Zhu Di slammed the table excitedly.

“Is this the point?!!!”

Xu Qin was dumbfounded.

"Don't pay attention to your uncle. Now that your father has caught you, you should come back. You've been out for a long time—"

Xu pushed Zhu Di and asked.

"Uh, my dad asked me to come over and tell my aunt that he wants to borrow my second cousin for a month or two."

"Ok?"

Xu raised her eyebrows.

"My second cousin is familiar with us. My father wants to occupy the strongholds that were vacated by my second cousin. We need to extend the defense line outside. It's useless to just set up defenses on the beach. People will run away when they see us from a distance."

Xu Qin felt a little embarrassed and pointed his finger at me.

"What about Prince Ning's brother-in-law?"

"I'll leave this behind as well..."

Xu Qin felt even more embarrassed.

"So this means that we should go and tell King Ning?"

Xu understood.

"That's about right. My father also said that he couldn't understand the current situation in the court. The Xu family is all in the capital. Aunt and uncle, take care of yourselves."

Xu Qin actually didn't quite understand what his father said, but since his father asked him to convey it, he just conveyed it directly.

"Okay. Can't you take a night off and meet your cousin tomorrow?"

"Next time, my father didn't leave the capital alone."

"it is good."

By the time Xu Qin wolfed down his food and slipped out of Prince Yan's Mansion, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

Xu and Zhu Di lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

"Don't think too much about it. It's just the worst-case scenario. Maybe it won't happen?"

Zhu Di knew that Xu was feeling unhappy.

On one side is him, and on the other side is his closest flesh and blood.

My brother-in-law has the entire Xu family on his side. No matter what happens on his side, my brother-in-law dare not act rashly.

As for him, if he acts rashly, even if it has nothing to do with the Xu family, his brother-in-law will be implicated.

"Alas, life is full of disappointments. Go to sleep."

Xu sighed, turned around and hugged Zhu Di without saying anything else.

Early the next morning.

Zhang Xin, who always came to pay her respects on time, was rewarded with a depressed mother-in-law and another explosive piece of news.

"Your third uncle has passed away. Prepare the funeral offerings and let Chi'er and Sui'er go."

"what?"

Even though Zhang Xin was somewhat mentally prepared, she was still shocked.

"If you say it's a sudden illness, just treat it as old age. Make arrangements as needed."

Xu was not in the mood at all. She went to bed late to begin with, and the Chief Secretary asked to see Zhu Di early in the morning.

With the death of my third uncle, the whole situation changed.

It is still unknown what kind of storm the Prince of Yan’s Mansion will face.

"Yes, mother. I'll arrange it now."

Zhang Xin came to his senses and took the order to leave.

He hurried back to Yande Palace and asked someone to tell Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui to have the subordinates prepare the necessary funeral gifts. Only after all the arrangements were made did he have time to sit down and think about what had happened.

The last time the Zhongdu ancestral mausoleum was struck by lightning it happened a few days earlier, this time, Third Uncle’s death happened nearly two months earlier.

In his previous life, King Jin Zhu Gang died on March 30th.

He fell ill at the beginning of the month, and his grandfather sent imperial physicians from the capital to Taiyuan, but he eventually died.

Is this life going to end silently like this?

Even though my father-in-law later described my third uncle as being disliked by my great grandfather, in fact, my great grandfather had always liked my third uncle very much, at least more than he liked my father-in-law, and valued him much more, which was very obvious from the way he named him.

My eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle are all one year older than my father-in-law.

Let’s not talk about my eldest and second uncles.

The year my third uncle was born, my royal grandfather had just occupied Nanjing and was so busy that he even had time to choose a name. But by the time my father-in-law was born, Nanjing had already been stabilized and he had no time?

My father-in-law was named when he was seven years old, together with his six younger brothers.

My third uncle also started to learn very early. At the age of three, he became a disciple of Song Lian together with his eldest and second uncles.

Later, when my third uncle turned ten years old, we specially invited the calligraphy master Du Huan to teach him calligraphy.

Later, when my grandfather ascended the throne, everyone began to study together in the main hall.

Song Lian also taught all the princes, but the meaning was very different. The meaning of being a formal apprentice and being a simple teacher was completely different.

My father-in-law also had a serious teacher, Long Wenyuan, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Not long after this man taught his father-in-law, he resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown.

If Zhang Xin hadn't helped to compile her father-in-law's true story later, she would have had no idea this person existed.

My father-in-law also invited this teacher to come to Beijing, but unfortunately, he died of illness on the way to Beijing.

No matter how you compare it, my father-in-law's teacher is far inferior to the three brothers above.

In the Lan Yu case in the 26th year of Hongwu, my third uncle was also the main force.

My great-grandfather had made arrangements in advance in the 25th year and transferred the powerful generals of the Hongwu Dynasty, such as the Duke of Song, the Duke of Ying, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, and the Marquis of Dingyuan, to Shanxi, which was the territory of my third uncle.

The first two had a very good relationship with the third uncle, had more seniority than Lan Yu, and were able to control the generals in the army.

The last two were Lan Yu's men, and the Emperor's grandfather used the third uncle to suppress these two people.

When the Lan Yu case broke out, the third uncle killed Huining Hou, Anqing Hou and other members of Lan Yu's faction with lightning speed. Even the third uncle's own father-in-law was captured by him for the sake of justice.

Countless generals, both big and small, under Lan Yu's command were also captured by the third uncle.

My third uncle participated in many large and small killings during my grandfather’s time.

The father-in-law is often the one standing on the sidelines.

The fiefdom of the third uncle was also the province with the highest tax revenue in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

According to Zhu Gaochi, the troops under the command of the third uncle crossed the border to Yan territory many times, and a thousand households robbed the orchards of the subordinates of my father-in-law. Although my father-in-law complained to the emperor's grandfather, he never really broke up with the third uncle.

This person died so suddenly?
