Chapter 1207: Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors
Kaiping Wangfu is the Huaiyuan Hou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty Founding Warrior Chang Yuchun, Chang Yuchun is like Huo Quai, brave and good at fighting, often bluntly said that there are 100,000 troops can run rampant in the world, the army is called Chang 100,000, but it is a pity that he died young, even so he still ranks second among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, which shows his great achievements.
I don't know if the ancestral grave of the Chang family is not buried, Chang Yuchun died early, not to mention the fate of his descendants, the two sons Chang Mao and Chang Sheng were not allowed to die well and the family was relegated to the common people in all directions, to the fifth generation Chang Fu was found by Hongzhi to place the hereditary Nanjing Jinyi Wei commander, to the eighth generation Chang Xuanzhen in the eleventh year of Jiajing to continue to seal Huaiyuan, since then the court has been stable, the Chang family has also learned the lessons of the ancestors, low-key and less mixed with some messy things, to the twelfth generation of Qiao Yanling even the hereditary Jinyi Wei command is not rare, Some people speculate that it was because Qiao Yanling didn't want to have a lot of trouble with the Duke of Wei.
Although Qiao Yanling does not attach importance to the official title, but he is very concerned about state affairs, when the fall of Quanchu last year, he invited himself to go to Jiujiang to assist in the defense, and also organized the Jiangdu Chang clan to train troops to resist thieves, but they were all vetoed by Emperor Chongzhen, but it can be seen that he has a heart of loyalty to the monarch and defending the country, and historical records also record that the nobles of the southern capital are arrogant and arrogant, and they are alone in order to keep their titles.
And he was indifferent to fame and fortune, after Chongzhen was martyred, he saw the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty fooling around, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng messing around, and hung up their crowns in anger, living in seclusion in the countryside to grow vegetables for a living, poor and even dead without money to be buried, which shows his integrity.
Since Mao Sui's self-recommendation attempt last year, Qiao Yanling has been a little disheartened and knows that the imperial court does not look down on them at all.
Think about the glory of the ancestors, the famous Chang 100,000, but now ...... When the national disaster is at the head, you can only eat in the house and wait for death, one generation is not as good as the generation to be ashamed of the ancestors! Chang Yanling wasted his ambition every day in the Hou Mansion, but he paid more attention to state affairs, and he must read every issue of the newspaper, and inquired about the situation in various war zones through various channels, of course, mainly in the north, and even ordered Jiading to go to the mouth of the Yangtze River outside the city to inquire about the guest brigade.
Dongchang suddenly appeared a eunuch The rise speed was jaw-dropping, the record was jaw-dropping, and it turned out to be the same surname, so he paid special attention to this person, and then all kinds of rumors flocked to listen to Chang Yanling's blood boiling, sometimes stroking his palms and sometimes sighing, why can't such talents come out after the dignified Kaiping King, but he is not as good as a eunuch, and the face of the ancestors has been lost.
Although Chang Yanling is indifferent to fame and fortune, he attaches great importance to the honor of the family, otherwise he would not have the temperament to be clothy rather than embarrassed.
The war in the north subsided, the eunuch poured half of the country's military and financial resources with the strength of one person, and several major battles fled the thief army with the Tartars, and there was no worry about war in the north within two years, but now the thieves in the south are getting more and more intense, and they have hit the doorstep, although there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Nanjing, but there is not even a person who can fight, and the thief army Ruolai can only defend the city against the enemy, I am afraid that I don't even dare to go out of the city to fight, and may even not be able to hold it. But even if you can defend the city of Nanjing, what about other places, will you let the thieves spoil it?
So if you want to break the enemy, you have to come to the eunuch to help, Chang Yanling is good friends with Shi Kefa, he has learned from Shi Kefa's mouth that the little eunuch will go south to help, and Shi Kefa's evaluation of the little eunuch is particularly good, so good that he feels incredible, because civil officials, especially those with an upright personality like Shi Kefa, cannot have a good face for a power eunuch, let alone such a good reputation.
It seems that there must be something peculiar about this eunuch, Chang Yanling is thinking every day, if he comes to the vicinity of Nanjing, he must find a chance to meet, and even lick his face to ask Shi Kefa to be introduced when the time comes, Shi Kefa is sincere, only said that if he comes to Nanjing, he should be introduced, as for people who can't see it, they dare not guarantee it, because that little eunuch doesn't like to socialize, especially civil officials and nobles, which makes Chang Yanling a little disappointed, but there is still a chance.
So he couldn't have imagined that the person who might not have been able to see him after all his efforts would take the initiative to come to the door today.
Chang Yu did not come to the door directly, but someone explored the way first.
Just after noon, a Taoist with fairy wind and bones came to the gate of the Hou Mansion, knocking on the door and directly scolding the family Ding and saying that he wanted to see Chang Yanling, the head of the Changfu family. Although the family saw that his temperament was extraordinary, it was impossible for you to see it, not to mention that there are so many people in the rivers and lakes who are swaggering and deceiving, so he wants to coax him away, and at this moment, as soon as the person raised his hand, he saw a black mist rushing out of his sleeve and turning into a tiger's head, and faintly heard the sound of whistling.
The family was shocked and didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed it into the house, and hurriedly told Chang Yanling.
Chang Yanling was slightly surprised to hear the news and came to the lobby to meet, that person is really immortal, from the face does not look like a traitor has a good impression in his heart, but the person who is about to speak first speaks: "The poor road is the abbot of the Lu Xian Temple in Guangping Mansion, and I have seen the head of the Chang family" (Note: The word abbot is originally derived from Taoism, and the Buddha is also called the abbot after entering the countryside after entering the middle of the road)
Guangping Mansion Lu Xian Temple, Chang Yanling has heard of it, but he doesn't understand why this Taoist came to the door, it is not because of the autumn wind, but most people will call him the Hou Ye, but this Taoist priest called him the head of the Chang family, so he arched his hand: "The Taoist is polite."
Li Muxian bowed slightly, and then looked left and right: "After King Kaiping, there is a genius, and the Chang family has been prosperous for five hundred years!" ”
Sure enough, he came to fight the autumn wind, Chang Yanling smiled bitterly in his heart, whether it was a monk or a Taoist priest who came to the door, it was all like this, either your family had a disaster or your family was happy, anyway, first find a reason and then flicker.
In these years, the people are superstitious and wealthy families eat this set, even if there are unbelievers, they are not willing to offend these monks, and they mostly give some money and food to beat them away.
However, this Taoist priest's words are very interesting, Chang Yanling had nothing to do, so he wanted to listen to him for a while, so he was not in a hurry to send him away, but when Li Muxian's next sentence made him bounce up from the chair in shock: "Poor Dao is the staff of Chang Gonggong, the superintendent of Dongchang."
The people of the East Factory, the people of the eunuchs!
"Where is Grandpa Chang? He came to Nanjing? Chang Yanling recovered his expression a little and hurriedly asked, but Li Muxian gently waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be nervous: "The overseer is on official business in his place, and he specially ordered Poor Dao to come to the Hou Mansion to inform him first, and Changyu, the fourteenth grandson of King Kaiping, will come to see his uncle later."
What the! Chang Yanling was like five thunderbolts, he took a few steps back and sat on the chair again, looking at Li Muxian with a stunned face, the dignified Dongchang Supervisor, the invincible god-killing eunuch turned out to be the fourteenth grandson of Chang Yuchun, the descendant of Chang Yuchun, the founder of the Ming Dynasty???
It was a bolt from the bolt for him, it was incredible.
Of course, the Chang family can't admit it casually because a person's surname is Chang You want to recognize the ancestors, we have to find out whether it's right or not, this is also Li Muxian's cleverness, he only said that it was after Chang Yuchun, and he didn't say which one it was.
Chang Yuchun has a son and often rises to Changmao, Chang Mao has no children when he dies, this vein is absolute, Chang Sheng has a son and often succeeds in the ancestor, but he was demoted to Yunnan at the time when he was only seven years old in Yunnan, and it is impossible to stay in the north, and Chang Yu is from Hebei, if you want to say that Chang Sheng and Chang Mao's lineage is absolutely not right.
Therefore, it can only be from the fifth Chang Fu to lead the people back to Nanjing. It is difficult to investigate the lineage, and it is difficult to investigate the branches and leaves of the side lineage, and some may just be the family members of the Chang family who marry a wife and have children, and it will be said that it is from after Chang Yuchun, this kind of thing is difficult to investigate carefully.
For example, last year, Chang Yanling asked for the order to train thousands of people from the Changjia Sha tribe in Jiangdu to train and suppress thieves, Jiangdu was in Yangzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the first year of Hongwu, when it was still the Duke of Hubei Chang Mao in Yangzhou, leaving this tribe in Yuliu Lane, Xiaodongmen, Yangzhou, to the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were thousands of people, they all said that after the spring, but Chang Mao had no queen!
Therefore, Chang Yu's true genealogy is impossible to find out.
"The Lord Governor lost his father since he was a child, and his family was as poor as his mother raised him until he was ten years old, and he did not forget to tell him that he was the queen of Kaiping when he was dying! Later, he was not allowed to enter the palace for his livelihood, and often cried bitterly and cried out to his ancestors...... Although he is now famous all over the world, every time he thinks about it, he is very painful, always thinking about recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, but he is afraid of dishonoring his ancestors, and he sends poor people to hear the meaning of the head of the family."
Li Muxian told the story, Chang Yanling's five flavors and mixed Chen also had a rough idea in his heart, it is impossible for the eldest son and eldest grandson of the lineage to be mixed to such a point, it is very likely that which side branch will be like this, but it is not easy to say, the Chang family in the middle of the second ancestor and the fifth ancestor are not all civilians, there is no difference between the descendants and the side families at that time, and they are also running around for their livelihoods, and they may not be able to pass on to the north, as for how they lost their fathers at an early age, it is unknown and impossible to investigate, as for returning to their ancestral hometown to ask the clansmen, Li Muxian explained: "I have been." , implicated in the war disaster has long been uninhabited".
This sentence is true, Li Zicheng's thief army swept in Hebei, the cavalry of the Tartars plundered, and thousands of miles of white bones were ten rooms and nine empty.
For such a powerful eunuch to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, Chang Yanling couldn't figure out his mind for a while, and everyone wanted to be attached to the power, but the identity of a eunuch is indeed a gap that is difficult to cross, and in this era, no matter who has a eunuch, it is a shame for the family.
Although Wang Zhi and Wei Zhongxian are powerful eunuchs, countless people cling to them, and even shamelessly recognize him as their father, but on the surface, they don't poke their backbones behind their backs, and look down on them from the bottom of their bones.
But while kneeling and licking and calling other people's fathers, isn't it more shameful to secretly scold people like fathers, Chang Yanling was relieved when he thought of this, and he also knew why Chang Yu sent people in advance, just not to make him in a dilemma when the incident suddenly happened.
"My ancestors were also thieves, but eventually became the founding heroes of our Ming Dynasty, the so-called heroes do not ask about their origins, Chang Gonggong was forced to enter the palace by himself for life, but also to live, although he was a eunuch but also a man who stood up to the sky, better than now Ming I don't know how many self-righteous people, his own power to sweep away the thief and establish the prestige of our country, my Chang family is proud of it, how can there be no reason not to admit it."
As soon as Chang Yanling's words came out, Li Muxian became the governor, although he didn't know what the reason for his recognition was, but he definitely made this decision after consideration, so he laughed: "Changmen will do it for another five hundred years is not empty talk."
"Dao Chang must not deceive me," Chang Yanling said solemnly.
Li Muxian also straightened his face: "Poor Dao is proficient in Zhou Yi odd numbers, if you are not sure, how can you open your mouth, if you don't have some ability, how can Lord Datuk stay with Poor Dao to assist, he can be invincible and invincible, and he has his own place to help Poor Dao."
Seeing him say this, Chang Yanling became more and more curious, he was already very interested in Chang Yu, how could he let go of the opportunity to gossip at this time, so he asked people to serve tea, and the two of them were foaming at the mouth and listening to each other, unconsciously it was almost evening, but they were still unsatisfied.
"At that time, there were tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry outside Qingzhou City, Master Hou, you know that the Tartar cavalry is known as invincible in the world......" Li Muxian was talking about the battle of Qingzhou, and said that Chang Yanling clenched his fists at the critical point, and he didn't dare to take a breath in the tense atmosphere.
At this moment, the official family hurriedly came: "Master, master, there are two people outside the door, saying that the surname is often invited."
Ah, Chang Yanling stood up slowly: "Quick, quick, open the door to greet."
Chang Yu stood outside the gate of Changfu, and soon after seeing the family Ding go in to report, the gate of the Hou Mansion was opened, and more than ten families poured out to make the governor, and he was a little nervous, and after straightening his clothes, he saw Li Muxian walking quickly with a middle-aged man, and hurriedly went forward to bow down: "The fourteenth Sun Changyu of Kaiping King kowtowed to his uncle."
Chang Yanling quickly stepped forward and helped him up, although he was prepared, he was still surprised, how could he be so young, Xingmei Sword looked like a crown of jade, and the killing aura loomed where there was a little eunuch temperament, and he wanted to be a fierce general in the army like his ancestors, and he even felt for a moment whether this was a group of liars.
"Changmen has descendants, the ancestors should be proud, our generation is also proud, Chang Gonggong please." Chang Yanling had long admired Chang Yu's great military exploits before, but now he had a good impression when he saw people, and he ignored his identity as a eunuch for a while.
"It's good for my uncle to call me Chang Yu, I don't dare to invite this as a family matter." Chang Yu hurriedly gave up his hand, and the identity he gave himself was the fourteenth grandson of Chang Yuchun, and the two generations of Xiao Chang Yanling.
