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

Zhu Gaochi sighed before speaking out about the bigger crisis.

In the second year of Yongle, when the foundation of the Forbidden City had just begun to be laid, Zhu Di took Xu to fight outside.

He and Zhang Xin stayed in the capital with their children.

Once the map of the imperial city was completed, he showed it to Zhang Xin.

But Zhang Xin started crying as she looked at it, and her tears flowed freely, soaking the entire drawing.

He asked a few more questions.

Then Zhang Xin beat him up, a real beating, not just tickling.

Zhu Gaochi kept this matter secret and did not let Zhu Di and Xu know. Later, he even forgot about it.

Zhang Xin said that the reason she was beaten was because she had a nightmare.

Zhu Di went crazy after dreaming that Xu died early.

Zhu Gaochi served as the crown prince under the crazy Zhu Di for more than 20 years and also married many women.

After he ascended the throne, he favored the imperial concubine even more.

He even wanted to depose Zhang Xin to make room for the imperial concubine.

This imperial concubine was Guo, the granddaughter of Guo Ying.

As a result, the queen was not deposed, but Zhu Gaochi died. Then Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne and Zhang Xin became the empress dowager.

This was not the end. Zhu Zhanji died early, and Zhang Xin helped her grandson to become the Grand Empress Dowager.

During this period, Zhu Zhanyong died and Zhu Jiabao also passed away. Zhang Xin said that she had seen three young people die before her.

After his grandson finally grew up and took power, he was urged to lead the army in person, killing more than 100,000 elite soldiers left behind by Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji.

When Zhu Gaochi recalled it now, he realized that Zhang Xin's expression at that time was truly heartbreaking, and it was far from being just a dream.

"really?"

Xu took several deep breaths before asking.

"It's absolutely true. Dahua used all her strength to beat me that day. After that, she couldn't find a reason, so she told it like a dream, what should have happened."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Xin have been together for so many years.

Although Zhang Xin hid so many things, he still knew Zhang Xin very well.

Zhang Xin has never been good at lying, and he is the type who sticks to his guns and does things exactly as he says. He is very down-to-earth and doesn't have a bad temper.

He was originally happy that Zhang Xin was jealous, which led to this dream.

Now it seems that Zhang Xin really told the truth, but he just didn't believe it. No wonder she has always done it without saying it.

"So you died early, and Zhanji died even earlier?"

Xu felt more and more that all this had really happened.

Zhu Gaochi had been the crown prince for more than twenty years, which meant that Zhu Di had less than ten years to live.

Zhanji should have been in his twenties at that time.

How short were Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji's reigns that Zhang Xin needed to help his grandson ascend to the throne?

"I estimate that Zhan Jijia and I will be in office for no more than ten years."

Zhu Gaochi also calculated it carefully.

As the saying goes, the old send off the young, which means that both his son and daughter must have died very early.

"That's not right! If you calculate the time, if your father has less than ten years left, and you and Zhanji have ten years left, then your grandson will be an adult by then."

Xu counted with her fingers, but the result was never right.

"There is one thing I didn't say."

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Zhanji, and only continued speaking after seeing him nod.

"Dahua told Zhanji in a letter that he was destined to have no legitimate son."

"What???"

Before Xu could answer, Zhu Di, who had been found, was furious.

"Calm down! Why are you so jumpy all day long? Sit down, Zhanji will tell your grandfather about this matter, I will take a break!"

Xu has a headache.
