Judging from Li Shu’s surprised reaction, Zhu Pingan knew that he had guessed correctly.
“Hehe, I also know that Emperor Yongle is very fond of your family’s high great-grandfather.”
Facing Li Shu’s surprise, Zhu Pingan once again added with the corner of his lips hooked.How could he not like it, this was the person who “helped” Yongle Emperor ascend the throne.
Li Shu’s grandfather was Zhu Yuanzhang’s brother-in-law, married Zhu Yuanzhang’s second sister, Zhu Yuanzhang’s relatives were poor when Zhu Yuanzhang was young, but Li Zhen’s family still had enough to eat, and often helped Zhu Yuanzhang.Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, among all his relatives, he took the most extra care of Li Zhen’s family.Zhu Yuanzhang not only let Li Zhen “Royal Edicts exempted from the regular dynasty, praise and worship not name”, but also licensed him to wear the five-clawed golden dragon dragon robe.Li Zhen was the only living relative of his generation after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor.
Li Shu’s great-grandfather was Li Wenzhong, son of Li Zhen and nephew of the Great Ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang.He was also a famous general and strategist of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the third most meritorious official in the founding of the Ming Dynasty.When Li Wenzhong was twelve years old, his mother, Princess Cao, died, and his father, Li Zhen, took him through the chaos of the army, many times on the verge of death.It was only after two years that he met his uncle Zhu Yuanzhang in Chuzhou.When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Wenzhong, he loved him so much that he adopted him as his adopted son and took his surname Zhu.Li Wenzhong was so brave and successful that he was named Duke of Cao, and after his death, he was posthumously named King of Qiyang.
Li’s family at that time can be said to be “the clothes united in the three generations, grace in a door, premise that the family has not been too much salary ministers”.
As the saying goes, a tiger’s father has no son, but in Cao Guo Gong Li Wenzhong this will not work, Li Wenzhong’s son, that is, Li Shu’s great-great-grandfather is the history of the very famous “God of War” general, Li Jinglong.
The name is very big, but the ability with the name inversely proportional to the upgraded and strengthened version of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo 0. Li Jinglong is also especially love to read the book of war, memorised more than Zhao Kuo familiar, but also often play backward, and special blowing, like to set up a bureau about a few cups of friends, so in the time of the children of the nobility in the quite prestigious.
Of course.Li Jinglong is in the battle of Jingnan achieved his fame.The battle of Jingnanxi is the Ming dynasty royal family within the war for the throne, but around this battle for the throne, the war’s most shining, no better than the “God of War” Li Jinglong.
When Zhu Di Jingnian offensive was thwarted.When Zhu Di’s Jingnian offensive was thwarted, his men had to go home, and the battle of Jingnian was about to fail, who stood up?Yes, it was him, our “God of War” Li Jinglong, who stepped forward.He stood up. He was so handsome, he laughed and laughed, and the millions of Jianwen Emperor’s army was annihilated.
When Zhu Di attacked the city of Nanjing, the face of a hundred feet of the city wall helpless, scratching his head and sighing, and who stood out?It was him or him or him, our “hero” Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong, our “hero”, can be considered as the number one contributor to the battle of Jingnian, so how could our Yongle Emperor not like him.
However, the only problem is.Our comrade Li Jinglong is the general of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunzhu, he is not in the same league as Zhu Di.
The corners of Zhu Pingan’s mouth curved up when he said that the Great Emperor of Yongle was very fond of Li Shu’s family’s high ancestor.Li Shu was not blind, so she naturally saw that arc at the corner of Zhu Pingan’s mouth clearly, and knew exactly what Zhu Pingan had in mind.
“You think you know the truth of history just because you read a few history books?”
For Zhu Pingan’s ridicule, Li Shu, however, was not angry at all, her slender jade hand playing with her hair, lightly opening her vermilion lips to faintly ask.
“So that means I’m wrong?”Zhu Pingan leaned against the carriage and said slowly.
“No, you are right.Chengzu does indeed like my family’s Gaozu.However, it is not the kind that you laugh at, but really like it, Chengzu is a few years older than my family Gaozu, and he is quite close to my family.The two of them have been in the same field of practice, and the two of them have been in the same field of practice.The two had been in the field of military training, after the Chengzu clan Yan land, but also several letters to and from, contact constantly.”
Li Shu’s delicate jade hand played with her hair.Her big watery eyes looked at Zhu Pingan, there was a sparkling brightness in her eyes, and her small cherry mouth raised a shallow smile.
Eh?
Listened to the words of Li Shu, Zhu Pingan slightly stunned, Zhu Di even and Li Jinglong is hair small, this let Zhu Pingan really did not think of, but it is not to say that there is no possibility, after all, Li Jinglong’s father is the righteous son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and Li Jinglong is considered to be relatively close to the relationship, the age difference is not too big, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Wenzhong led the troops out of the war, it is very likely to be the time that they are thrown into a piece of letting people take care of it, the hair of a small one said that it is not impossible to say.It is not impossible.
“The Battle of Jingnian, my family Gaozu attacked the Beiping Changyi Gate, why not?In the battle of Baigou River, Chengzu was almost captured, why did he get away on his own?My Gaozu was defeated by 500,000 soldiers, but why was he trusted by Emperor Jianwen to allocate another 600,000?As a defeated general, why Cheng Zu on the throne, sealed him as Fengtian auxiliary transport pushed the sincerity of Xuan Li Wu Chen, special advanced Guanglu Daifu, the left pillar state, in the Cheng Zu class above the ministers, the court has a big event, to him as the head of the main discussion.Jianwen emperor know people is not clear, is Yongle emperor also know people is not clear?”
“Do you think a straw general did it?”
“History books are all written by the victors, this sentence is not precise, the precise statement is that history books are all written by the victorious ones in power.”
“What Emperor Chengzu, who seized the throne by pacification, needed was a straw general to set off his great achievements, shock the world, and stabilise his throne; he did not need an enduring god of war to divide his achievements and dilute his influence.”
Li Shu’s voice was soft, but in Zhu Pingan’s ears, it was resounding.
While Zhu Pingan was pondering over Li Shu’s words, discerning the truth of them, he saw that a handsome, fair face suddenly appeared in front of him, with the corners of his brows and eyes, all smiles, a pair of large, watery eyes that seemed to be dripping out of the water, and a playful smile on the side of his small mouth.
“Cluck stupid toad, you really believe it, cluck.”
Li Shu slightly squinted her big watery eyes as she looked at Zhu Pingan, smiling like a scatterbrained little fox.
“My Li family’s high great-grandfather was stripped of the Duke of Cao’s title, then restored the title, then shaded and demoted, and now our Li family inherits a Marquis, the hereditary Marquis of Linhuai.”
After laughing, Li Shu then proceeded to introduce Zhu Pingan’s own family’s situation, only briefly mentioning the changes in the Li family’s titles.
Marquis is also a very high title, in the noble children is also considered to be the highest existence, now there are not a few dukes of state in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Xu Da’s descendants are still in the title of the Duke of Wei, that is, Chang Yu Chun’s descendants are in the title of the Duke of Kaikuo, is about to be the Pacification of the meritorious ministers of the Zhu Neng was appointed the Duke of Chengkuo is still in the inheritance of the Tang He and so on the founding of the dynasty during the period of Zhu Yuanzhang about are also downgrade the title.The marquis is still a hereditary marquis, so Li Shu’s family’s marquis is also considered a magnate amongst the nobles in the capital.
“The current Marquis of Linhuai is my eldest uncle, but the one in charge of the family is my grandmother, and I have quite a few uncles and so many siblings.Oh, almost home, so I’ll tell you one by one then.”
Li Shu said, hearing a movement outside, stretching out her slender jade hand to pull open the curtains and look out, she then lowered the curtains and summarised to Zhu Pingan, then uneasily admonished again.
“The people in the Marquis House are not oil-saving lamps, you have to be careful.”
