When the carriage arrived at Xicheng, the team expanded a lot. There were five more large carriages. The deep ruts showed that there were a lot of things on the carriages. In addition, there were also a few more old ladies and girls, as well as the nursing staff and boys who were accompanying them.
Seven or eight people were also added, and they headed towards the West City in a mighty manner.
This is where Li Shu temporarily stayed before going to find Zhu Ping'an.
Li Shu also just arrived in the capital yesterday and stayed briefly for one night. She had not yet gone to Li's old residence. She went to Gongyuan to find Zhu Pingan early that morning. Li Shu originally planned to wait for Zhu Pingan to go there together.
Zhu Pingan lowered the curtains and withdrew his eyes.
"Zhu Pingan, aren't you nervous anymore?" Li Shu's watery eyes seemed to be dripping with water. She looked at Zhu Pingan with a half-smile, and the corners of her mouth curved up slightly, with a sarcastic smile.
"Why should I be nervous?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"Because the ugly daughter-in-law is going to meet her parents-in-law." Li Shu covered her mouth with her slender hand and said with a smile, comparing Zhu Ping'an's visit to their old house of the Li family to the image of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.
"Your Li family is not a dragon in a tiger's den. What should I be nervous about?" Zhu Ping'an curled his lips disdainfully.
"Then do you know who our Li family is?" Li Shu held her cheeks, pursed her lips, and looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile and asked.
"It's probably something like Lu Yan Pu Di, Zhong Ming Ding Shi House, etc. Anyway, he's not a rich man from Shanghe Village." Zhu Pingan put his hands behind his head, resting his head on the carriage, stretched his legs, and stretched comfortably.
I hesitated for a moment and replied casually.
Li Shu rolled her eyes when she heard this. Then she curled her lips when she saw Zhu Ping'an's casual actions.
"My Grandfather Taixuan wears a five-claw golden dragon robe." Li Shu held her cheek in one hand and twisted her hair with the other hand. She said lightly.
What the hell?
You really can't stop talking without surprising me!
When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help but opened his eyes. Five claws or a golden dragon robe? Dragons are divided into three, six, and nine grades. The image of a dragon with two horns and five claws is reserved for the exclusive use of the emperor. The dragon pattern is the emperor's royal possession and is not allowed to be used by ministers.
Use five claws as a dragon and four claws as a python. If you are a four-clawed python, it would be fine. These five claws are still a golden dragon. Can your Li family still be an imperial family? Is it possible that your Grandfather Taixuan is an emperor?
Then Zhu Ping'an remembered looking at luck when he was a child, and saw that this stinky girl's luck was purple.
Is it rare to say that this stinky girl can really be a royal?
But it’s wrong. It’s impossible. Li Shu’s surname is Li, and his father’s surname is also Li. The current royal surname is Zhu. The royal family will never let their descendants change their surnames. Changing surnames is a serious crime of disobedience among the people. What’s more,
Not to mention the royal family that values bloodline inheritance!
For a moment, Zhu Ping'an was a little confused as to where the Li Shu family came from.
"My great-great-grandfather was the prince conferred by Emperor Hongwu."
Li Shu looked at Zhu Pingan's surprised eyes and couldn't help but look at Zhu Pingan with a smile at the corner of her lips. She had a pair of big black eyes and a face full of weirdness.
The royal prince?
Zhu Ping'an looked at the little fox-like Li Shu, squinted his eyes slightly, and quickly searched the history books of the Ming Dynasty that he had read before. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the princes of the Ming Dynasty were from the royal family. The prince's surname was Wang. The prince's surname was Li.
There are only a few of them, and they were all awarded posthumously, so they seem to have some clues.
"My Taizu and Emperor Hongwu have the same blood flowing in their bodies."
When Zhu Ping'an felt like he had some idea, he heard Li Shu add another sentence with her lips pursed.
Uh, they have the same bloodline? Does this mean that the bloodline comes from the same source?
Zhu Pingan was a little unsure again, but looking at Li Shu's little fox-like smile, he roughly understood that this stinky girl deliberately misled him, but a combination of circumstances made Zhu Pingan closer to guessing the answer.
They have the same blood in their bodies. They are not necessarily blood relatives, they may also be relatives by marriage. But as far as the Taizu of the Li Shu family is concerned, they are definitely relatives by marriage.
The scope suddenly narrowed again, and Zhu Pingan felt that he was close to the answer.
"My Taizu's surname is Zhu, and he is known as father and son to Emperor Hongwu. Queen Ma watched him grow up. My Taizu risked his life three times to remonstrate, which angered Long Yan. Emperor Hongwu once wanted to kill our Taizu, and Queen Ma heard about it.
Afterwards, he was heartbroken and shed tears, and Emperor Hongwu pardoned my great ancestor."
Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile. She had black hair like lacquer, skin like jade, and beautiful eyes. Her every frown and smile had an indescribable charm, like a budding plum blossom, faintly revealing the charm of beauty.
Tender.
Comparable to Emperor Hongwu and his son? Did Empress Ma grow up watching her? Zhu Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this. The more this girl misled him, the closer he got to the answer.
So what if the father and son of Emperor Hongwu are worthy of each other, and so what if Empress Ma watched her grow up. You know, I, Emperor Yuanzhang, have a famous hobby, or a common hobby of that era, which is to recognize adopted sons. Emperor Yuanzhang seems to have a total of
She has adopted more than 20 adopted sons. Queen Ma is kind-hearted and the most kind-hearted. She treats these adopted sons as her own and loves them very much.
The adopted sons adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang were all underage; most of them were orphans, but some of them had living parents; most of them were not relatives, but were adopted by chance encounters; all of them were given the surname Zhu, lived in Yuanzhang's home, and were adopted by horses.
The Queen took care of them. Zhu Yuanzhang saw a lot of orphans. He adopted Mu Ying and others because he saw their "talent and courage" and thought they had a bright future, so he particularly favored them.
After his adopted sons gained fame, Zhu Yuanzhang allowed them to live independently and restore their original surnames. When restoring their surnames, Zhu Yuanzhang had to explain the truth about the adoption. For example, to Mu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: Zhu Wenying, whose son are you? Mu Ying
The answer was the emperor's child. Zhu Yuanzhang asked repeatedly, Mu Ying said this, and then Zhu Yuanzhang explained his origin. Mu Ying was so moved that he cried and said, "Your Majesty Mu Ying's holy grace is like heaven and earth." Because of these words, Zhu Yuanzhang,
He was given the surname Mu, and the character Ying was taken from his given name Wenying. This is the origin of Mu Ying's name.
Therefore, Li Shu's Taizu should be one of the adopted sons adopted by Emperor Hongwu.
Therefore, the original surname of Li Shu's great ancestor should be "Li". After being adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang, his surname was "Zhu". When he grew up and gained fame, he returned to his original surname of "Li".
Li Shu's Taizu was the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, whose real surname was Li. His military exploits were relatively outstanding, and he was named a prince. He should have been named a king posthumously.
Then the answer is ready to come out.
"Your Taizu was named the 'King of Qiyang'?" Zhu Ping'an looked at Li Shu with a smile on his face and asked lightly.
If Li Shu's words were like rolling dark clouds filling the sky, then Zhu Ping'an's light words were like lightning piercing the sky. Although the dark clouds rolled for most of the day, the lightning only passed in the blink of an eye, but it illuminated the entire sky.
piece of sky.
"Ah, how do you know?"
When Li Shu heard this, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise. (To be continued)
