Judging from Li Shu's surprised reaction, Zhu Pingan knew that he had guessed correctly.
"Haha, I also know that Emperor Yongle was very fond of your great-great-grandfather."
Facing Li Shu's surprise, Zhu Ping'an once again raised the corners of his lips and added. Don't you like it? This is the person who "helped" Emperor Yongle ascend the throne.
Li Shu's Taixuan grandfather was Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law, and he married Zhu Yuanzhang's second sister in his early years. When Zhu Yuanzhang was young, his relatives were relatively poor, but Li Zhen's family was the only one who had enough to eat and often helped Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, all his family members
Among the relatives, Li Zhen took the most special care of his family. Zhu Yuanzhang not only asked Li Zhen to "remove Chang Chao and praise him without name", but also allowed him to wear the dragon robe of a five-clawed golden dragon. Li Zhen was the only one alive after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor.
Relatives of the same generation.
Li Shu's great-grandfather was Li Wenzhong, the son of Li Zhen and the nephew of the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang. He was also Zhu Yuanzhang's famous general and adviser, and the third hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. When Li Wenzhong was twelve years old, his mother, Princess Cao, died, and his father, Li Zhen,
He was tossed about in the rebel army and nearly died many times. It was two years later that he met his uncle Zhu Yuanzhang in Chuzhou. Zhu Yuanzhang liked Li Wenzhong very much when he saw him, so he adopted him as his adopted son and followed his surname Zhu. Li Wenzhong was brave and good at fighting and had outstanding military exploits.
, was granted the title of Cao Guogong, and was posthumously granted the title of King of Qiyang after his death.
At that time, the Li family could be said to have been "resplendent in clothes and honors for three generations, and rich in favors and favors. To this day, no one in the family is more worthy than a minister."
As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog sons, but this was not the case for Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong. Li Wenzhong's son, Li Shu's great-great-grandfather, was the famous "God of War" general in history, Li Jinglong.
His name is very impressive, but his ability is inversely proportional to his name. He is simply an upgraded and enhanced version of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo 0. Li Jinglong also loves to read military books, and can recite them more skillfully than Zhao Kuo. He often memorizes them backwards, and he is very good at blowing.
He liked to organize games and invite friends to have a few drinks, so he was quite famous among the nobles at that time.
Of course, Li Jinglong made his name during the Battle of Jingnan. The Battle of Jingnan was a battle for the throne within the Ming Dynasty royal family, but the most shining thing in this battle for the throne was the "God of War"
"Li Jinglong said.
When Zhu Di's Jingnan offensive was frustrated and his men were about to pack up and return to their hometown, and the Jingnan campaign was about to fail, who stood up? Yes, it was Li Jinglong, the God of War. He stood up. He looked majestic, chatting and laughing.
, Emperor Jianwen’s million-strong army was wiped out.
When Zhu Di attacked Nanjing City, he was helpless in the face of the hundred-foot city wall, scratching his head and sighing, who stood up again? Is it him or is he a hero? "Li Jinglong.
Li Zhanshen can almost be regarded as the number one contributor to the Jingnan Campaign. How could our Emperor Yongle not like him?
However, the only problem is that our Comrade Li Jinglong is the general of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, and he and Zhu Di are not the same group.
When Zhu Pingan said that Emperor Yongle liked the great ancestor of the Li Shu family very much, the corner of his mouth curled up. Li Shu was not blind, so she naturally saw the curve in the corner of Zhu Pingan's mouth clearly, and she also knew what Zhu Pingan was thinking in his heart.
"Do you think you can know the truth of history by reading a few history books?"
Li Shu was not angry at all for Zhu Ping'an's ridicule. She played with her hair with her slender hands, opened her red lips and asked lightly.
"So I made a mistake?" Zhu Pingan leaned against the carriage and said slowly.
"No, you are right. Chengzu really likes my great-grandfather very much. But it's not the way you laugh, but he really likes me. Chengzu is a few years older than my great-grandfather, and we are very close. Another piece of cake.
We are eldest friends and have a very good relationship. They trained together in other places, and later became the ancestors of the vassal Yan. They also exchanged letters several times and kept in constant contact."
Li Shu played with her hair with her slender hands. She looked at Zhu Ping'an with her big, watery eyes, and there was a sparkle in her eyes, and her little cherry mouth raised a slight smile.
Um?
After listening to Li Shu's words, Zhu Pingan was slightly startled. Zhu Di and Li Jinglong were childhood friends. This was something Zhu Pingan had never thought of. However, it was not impossible. After all, Li Jinglong's father was Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son. Zhu Di and Li Jinglong
The relationship is relatively close, and the age difference is not big. When Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Wenzhong led the troops on the expedition, it was very likely that they were left together to be looked after. It is not impossible to say that they were younger.
"In the Battle of Jingnan, my great ancestor invaded the Zhangyi Gate of Peking. Why didn't he enter? In the battle of Baigou River, Chengzu was almost captured. Why did he escape with only one horse? My great ancestor was defeated by 500,000 soldiers. Why did he still gain victory?
Emperor Jianwen trusted him and allocated another 600,000. As a defeated general, why did Chengzu ascend the throne and appoint him as a minister of Fengtian's auxiliary movement and sincerity to declare power?
He is the first to make decisions on major matters. Emperor Jianwen didn't know people well, so could it be that Emperor Yongle didn't know people well either?"
"Do you think an idiot general can do that?"
"History books are written by the victors. This statement is not accurate. The more accurate statement is that history books are written by the victorious people in power."
"What Chengzu, who has an elusive throne, needs is a fool general to set off his great achievements, shock the world, and stabilize his throne; he does not need a humiliating 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 sonorous and powerful.
While Zhu Ping'an was thinking about Li Shu's words and distinguishing whether they were true or false, he saw a handsome and fair face suddenly appeared in front of him. There was a smile on the brows and corners of the eyes, and a pair of big watery eyes seemed to be dripping with water.
, with a playful smile on his little mouth.
"Giggle, stupid toad, you really believe it, giggle"
Li Shu narrowed her big watery eyes and looked at Zhu Ping'an, smiling like a playful little fox.
"My great-great-grandfather of the Li family was deprived of his title of Duke of Cao, and then his title was restored, and then he was conferred and demoted. Now our Li family inherits the title of Marquis, the hereditary Marquis of Linhuai."
After laughing, Li Shu went on to introduce her family's situation to Zhu Ping'an, and just briefly talked about the changes in the Li family's title.
Duke Bozinan, the title of Marquis is also very high, and it is considered the highest existence among the noble sons. Now there are not many Dukes in the Ming Dynasty. Except for the descendants of Xu Da, they are still seizing the Duke of Wei, that is, Chang Yu
The descendants of Chun are inheriting the title of Duke of the Republic of China. Probably the Duke of Chengguo who was named Zhu Neng, the hero of Jingnan, is still inheriting the title. The descendants of the founding hero of the Republic of China such as Tang He and Zhu Yuanzhang have also been demoted. The marquis is still a hereditary marquis, so
, the marquis of Li Shu's family can be regarded as a wealthy family among the nobles in the capital.
"The current Marquis of Linhuai is my uncle, but my grandmother is in charge of the family. I have many uncles and many brothers and sisters. Oh, I'm getting home soon, so I'll tell you one by one then.
"
As Li Shu spoke, she heard something moving outside. She stretched out her slender hand to open the curtain and took a look outside. Then she lowered the curtain and said a summary to Zhu Pingan, and then gave another uneasy warning.
"The people in the Hou Mansion are not easy to use, so you have to be careful." (To be continued.)
