Chapter 287: Li Shu's Family
Judging from Li Shu's surprised reaction, Zhu Ping'an knew that he had guessed correctly.
"Hehe, I also know that Emperor Yongle likes your great-great-ancestor very much."
Facing Li Shu's surprise, Zhu Ping'an once again hooked the corners of his lips and added. Can you not like it, this is the person who "helped" the Yongle Emperor to ascend to the throne.
Li Shu's grandfather is Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law, and he married Zhu Yuanzhang's second sister as his wife in his early years. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, and among all his relatives, he took the most special care of Li Zhen's family. Zhu Yuanzhang not only let Li Zhen "exempt himself from the Chang Dynasty and praise and worship his name", but also authorized him to wear the dragon robe of the five-clawed golden dragon. Li Zhen is the only living relative of Zhu Yuanzhang's generation after he became emperor.
Li Shu's great-grandfather is Li Wenzhong, the son of Li Zhen and the nephew of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. He is also Zhu Yuanzhang's famous general, strategist, and the third hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. When Li Wenzhong was twelve years old, his mother, Princess Cao Guochang, died, and his father Li Zhen took him to the chaos of the army and was on the verge of death many times. Two years later, I met my uncle Zhu Yuanzhang in Chuzhou. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Wenzhong, he liked him very much, so he adopted him as his adopted son and followed his surname Zhu. Li Wenzhong was brave and good at fighting, and his military exploits were outstanding, and he was awarded the title of Duke of Cao Guo, and was posthumously named the king of Qiyang after his death.
At that time, the Li family could be described as "well-dressed in the third generation, and the grace was abundant in one door, and there was no one in the family of Shilu today".
As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son, but this is not possible in Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Li Wenzhong's son, that is, Li Shu's great-great-grandfather, is a very famous "God of War" general in history, Li Jinglong.
The name is very atmospheric, but the ability is inversely proportional to the name, it is simply an upgraded and enhanced version of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo 2.0. Li Jinglong also likes to read military books, and he is more familiar with memorizing than Zhao Kuo. He also often plays inverted back, and he can blow it very well, and he likes to form a game to invite friends to have a few cups, so he was quite famous among the children of Xun Gui at that time.
Of course, Li Jinglong achieved his fame in the Battle of Jingjing. The Battle of Jingyan was a battle for the throne within the Ming Dynasty royal family, but it affected the battle for the throne. The most shining thing in this war is none other than the "God of War" Li Jinglong.
When Zhu Di's Jingnan offensive was frustrated, his subordinates wanted to roll up and go back to their hometown, and the battle of Jingnan was about to fail, who stood up? That's right, it's him, our "God of War" Li Jinglong, he stood up, he was heroic, talking and laughing. Emperor Jianwen's million-strong army was wiped out.
When Zhu Di attacked the city of Nanjing, helpless in the face of the Baizhang city wall, scratching his head and sighing, who stood up? Is he him or him, our "hero" Li Jinglong.
Li Zhanshen can almost be regarded as the first hero of the Battle of Jingjing, how could our Yongle Emperor not like him.
The only problem, though. We, Comrade Li Jinglong, are the generals of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, and he and Zhu Di are not in the same group.
Zhu Ping'an was saying that the Yongle Emperor liked Li Shu's ancestor very much. The corners of his mouth curled slightly. Li Shu is not blind, so she naturally sees the curvature of the corners of Zhu Ping'an's mouth clearly, and she also knows what Zhu Ping'an thinks very well.
"Do you think you will know the truth of history by reading a few history books?"
For Zhu Ping'an's ridicule, Li Shu was not angry at all, slender jade played with her hair, lightly opened her lips and asked lightly.
"So I'm wrong?" Zhu Ping'an leaned on the carriage. Say slowly.
"No, you're right, Cheng Zu really likes my ancestor very much. But it's not the kind you laugh at, but I really like it, how old is Chengzu and how old is my ancestor. It's very close, and it's a small friend who grew up, and the relationship is excellent. The two had trained together in other places, and later became an ancestor in the land of Yan, and exchanged letters several times, and kept in touch. ”
Li Shu played with her hair, looking at Zhu Ping'an with big watery eyes, there was a glittering light in her eyes, and her cherry mouth raised a shallow smile.
Well?
Listening to Li Shu's words, Zhu Ping'an was slightly stunned, Zhu Di and Li Jinglong were young, which made Zhu Ping'an really unexpected, but it is not impossible, after all, Li Jinglong's father is Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son, Zhu Di and Li Jinglong are relatively close, and the age difference is not big, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Wenzhong lead the troops to the battle, it is very likely that they will be left together for people to take care of, and it is not impossible for Fa Xiaoyi to say it.
"In the Battle of Jingjing, my ancestor invaded the Changyi Gate in Beiping, why didn't he enter? In the battle of Baigou River, Chengzu was almost captured, why did he get rid of it alone? My ancestor was defeated by 500,000 troops, why can he still be trusted by Emperor Jianwen and allocate another 600,000? As the general of the defeated army, why did Chengzu ascend the throne, and named him Fengtian Fuyun Tui Cheng Xuanli Wuchen, Doctor Tejin Guanglu, and Zuo Zhuguo, living above the heroes of Chengzu's team, and there were major events in the court, with him as the leader. Emperor Jianwen doesn't know people, doesn't Emperor Yongle also know people? ”
"Do you think a straw bale general can do it?"
"History books are written by victors, this sentence is not accurate, the accurate statement is that history books are written by victorious authorities."
"What Chengzu of the throne that is difficult to win is a straw bag general to set off his great achievements, shock the world, and stabilize his throne; There is no need for a god of war who endures humiliation to divide his exploits and dilute his influence. ”
Li Shu's voice was soft, but in Zhu Ping'an's ears, it was sonorous and powerful.
Just when Zhu Ping'an was thinking about Li Shu's words and distinguishing the truth from them, he saw a handsome and fair face suddenly appear in front of him, with a smile at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, a pair of big watery eyes seemed to be dripping, and a playful smile on the side of his small mouth.
"Cluck, stupid toad, you really believe it, cluck"
Li Shu squinted at Zhu Ping'an with big watery eyes, smiling like a happy little fox.
"My great-great-grandfather of the Li family was stripped of the Duke of Cao Guo, and then restored the title, and then he was demoted, and now our Li family inherits the marquis, the hereditary Marquis of Linhuai."
After laughing, Li Shu continued to introduce Zhu Ping'an's situation to his family, and simply talked about the changes in the Li family's title.
The prince is a man, the marquis is also a very high title, and it is also regarded as the supreme existence among the sons of the nobles, and now there are few princes in the Ming Dynasty, except for Xu Da's descendants who are still attacking the Duke of Wei, that is, the descendants of Chang Yuchun are attacking the Duke of the Founding of the Kingdom, and the Duke of Chengguo who was named Zhu Neng is still inheriting, and the founding heroes of the Zhu Yuanzhang period such as Tang He have also been demoted. The marquis is still a hereditary marquis, so the marquis of Li Shu's family is also a wealthy family among the nobles in the capital.
"The current Linhuai Marquis is my uncle, but it is my grandmother who is in charge of the family, and I have many uncles and many brothers and sisters. Oh, I'm almost home, so I'll tell you all about it then. ”
Li Shu said, heard movement outside, stretched out her slender jade hand to open the curtain and glanced out, then put down the curtain and said a summary to Zhu Ping'an, and then said another word uneasily.
"The people in the Hou Mansion are not fuel-efficient lamps, you have to be careful." (To be continued......)
