Chapter 15 The Unlucky Imperial Relative

Wei Liangchen decided that the Xu Xianchun in front of him was the famous "eagle dog", and the reason was that Xu Xianchun was born as a martial artist!

In the world, there can't be too many coincidences, and there can't be two Xu Xianchun, who are also martial artists.

Liangchen concluded that he would not admit his mistake, in fact, the tall, handsome young man with elegance in his bones was indeed Xu Xianchun, one of the "Five Biao" of the eunuch party in the future.

Speaking of which, Xu Xianchun is a relative of the emperor, and his grandfather Xu Congcheng is the son-in-law of Emperor Sejong, Princess Shang Jiashan.

The current Wanli Emperor is the grandson of Emperor Sejong, so in terms of generation, Xu Xianchun's grandfather is the uncle of the current emperor, and his father and the current emperor are cousins.

To paraphrase the words of later generations, Emperor Wanli is Xu Xianchun's cousin.

With such an identity, why did Xu Xianchun fall into the Beijing martial arts examination, and squeeze the car with the people of Pingtou?

Wei Liangchen couldn't figure this out.

In other words, the emperor is his cousin, how can a good minister pee three feet in the wind, and he will shake if he doesn't urinate.

In fact, the good ministers don't know that Xu Xianchun, a "relative of the emperor", does not have a high gold content, and it can even be said that he is not in the stream.

The reason is that the princesses of the Ming Dynasty are not as good as the Tang and Song dynasties, and their status is actually very low, so low that they are often bullied by eunuchs and palace maids, but the royal family and the court do not pay attention to this.

Take the current Wanli Emperor as an example, his sister Princess Yongning married Liang Bangrui, the son of an ordinary rich family in the capital.

This Liang Bangrui was suffering from a vicious disease, and his time was short, so he wanted to marry a princess before he died, so he bribed tens of thousands of taels of silver from Feng Bao, the great eunuch at the time, so in the situation that everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knew and even the first assistant Zhang Juzheng also knew, the sick ghost Liang Bangrui was really selected as a concubine.

On the wedding night, it was really miserable, the groom Liang Bangrui was bleeding from his mouth and nose, stained with his robe, and could not salute. The heartless eunuch actually said that the groom was bleeding, which was a red auspicious omen, a happy event!

Afterwards, the emperor's brother and the queen mother's mother knew the truth, what could they do?

Poor and dignified princess Daming, after getting married, she didn't even have the reality of husband and wife, and she died of illness after a few years of depression.

This is true for my sister, and so is my daughter.

Emperor Wanli's biological daughter, Princess Shouning, because she did not ask the female officials in the palace around her for instructions, privately announced that the concubine Ran Xing let her meet, but after being known by the female officials and eunuchs, she rushed to the princess's room and dragged Ran Xing out and beat her wildly. Shouning's husband was heartfelt, and he came out to reprimand, but he was also scolded by the female palace.

Shou Ning was angry, and went to the palace with the horse to complain, but he was not even allowed to enter the palace gate. The horse simply wrote a petition and prepared to enter the court to cry out for injustice. Unexpectedly, the eunuch who was in ambush was beaten severely and almost died on the spot.

The sister and biological daughter of a mother's sibling are still like this, and an aunt who died a long time ago.

Therefore, maybe Emperor Wanli didn't know that he had a cousin surnamed Xu at all.

Under such a background, the grandson of a mere princess is a relative of the royal family.

His family is really not worthy of the surname Huang.

The princess has a low status and is not taken seriously, and even with a colt is naturally not much better.

In the Ming generation, the master of the horse is either from a noble background, otherwise, most of them are unknown to everyone and have no influence at all.

This also led to many Jinshi not being proud of marrying a princess, but instead hiding far away, lest they be unlucky enough to become an emperor's daughter.

Imagine, after ten years of hard study in the cold window, once the title of the gold list, before the spring breeze showed her skills, a princess fell from the sky and smashed into her body, that must be the hat on the ancestral grave to be kicked in, and the unlucky can no longer be unlucky.

There are three major hardships in life, and marrying a princess is the first one.

Moreover, Xu Xianchun's grandfather was a colt, his father was not, and neither was he himself. This horse cannot be hereditary, and in his generation, the Xu family may be said to have been a royal family. Right now, it's just an ordinary family with a solid background.

However, there is one thing that Wei Liangchen does not know, that is, Xu Xianchun actually ran away from home.

Like the protagonists of countless wild histories or orthodox novels in Chinese history, Xu Xianchun is also a young man who has set up a loyal and loyal service to the country since he was a child.

Perhaps, he was moved by the loyalty in the book, or listened to the romance of the storytelling outside, anyway, when he was ten years old, Xu Xianchun decided that when he grew up, he would abandon the pen and follow the Rong and gallop on the borders of the motherland.

Xu Xianchun, who had ambitions, studied hard and practiced hard, not only did he study very well, but also secretly worshipped an old military household near his home to learn martial arts, and he was even more proficient in equestrian skills.

All kinds of preparations are only for him to participate in the martial arts and serve the country. However, Xu Xianchun's ambition was strongly opposed by his father Xu Mingyuan.

The so-called Lao Tzu has walked more bridges than his son has walked, Xu Mingyuan knows that learning martial arts will definitely be useless in the future, so he wants his son to take the imperial examination from the road to the imperial examination in the future, and glorify his ancestors.

One idea of being a father, another idea of being a son, so the relationship between father and son is extremely stiff.

Last year, Xu Xianchun secretly went to Shuntian Mansion to participate in the Wuju Township Test without telling his father, and won the fourth place. After returning home, Xu Xianchun thought that his father would agree with his ambitions, but what he ushered in was a big scolding, and then he was grounded behind closed doors.

In order to prevent his son from learning martial arts again, Xu Mingyuan let the servants watch day and night, and was worried that his son had already won the martial arts and would go to the capital to participate in the martial arts examination, so he simply didn't give his son pocket money.

No more entanglements, see where you run!

It's just that the father underestimated his son, and in the middle of the night, Xu Xianchun finally ran out and stole a golden hairpin from his mother.

Because he was afraid that his family would stop him in Hejian Mansion, Xu Xianchun, who was familiar with the art of war, attacked the east and west, and set up a maze array in Hejian Mansion, and then Jin Chan escaped and ran to Suning.

Suning is a small place, and Xu Xianchun is not worried that his father will chase here. As long as he entered Beijing and reported to the military department, even if his father brought people to the capital, it would be impossible for him to go home.

As for the hardship on the road, Xu Xianchun doesn't care. The man's husband has ambitions of thousands of miles, what is this hardship.

Because of the relationship between the second uncle, after Wei Liangchen knew Xu Xianchun's identity, he was thinking about making friends with this person, which could be regarded as an early emotional investment and the formation of a future eunuch team.

But this kind of thing can't be rushed, there must be a chance, a suitable opportunity to get closer to the relationship between two strangers.

If you attack rashly, I am afraid that the effect will be counterproductive.

Liangchen was thinking about it, and the coachman shouted in front of him, asking everyone to get out of the car conveniently.

Liangchen looked up and saw that the cart was parked in front of a wood.

In the forest, there are several pergolas, some selling water and some food. Some villagers also put some local specialties on the table to sell.

Hey, isn't this just the service area on the highway?

Liangchen was happy, and a familiar smell came to his face.

Unfortunately, there are no huts in this service area, only a few pits have been dug in the woods. All convenient guests go to the convenience of themselves, a wave of men, a wave of women. Peeking or not peeking or anything, it all depends on self-realization.

The fat man is a self-cooked, and he pulls everyone to make it convenient.

Xu Xianchun and Wei Liangchen both got out of the car.

A group of men who sat in the car with numb legs walked back one by one after draining the inventory in their bladders.

The fat man estimated that his stomach was not very good, so he squatted there with his face in his face.

Liangchen really wanted to ask Xu Xianchun about your uncle's situation, but after thinking about it, he followed Xu Xianchun quietly. It takes ten days on the road, and there are opportunities, but there is no hurry.

Back at the side of the car, Liangchen just wanted to get in the car, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance again.

A carriage stopped, and the one who got out of the car was the old man of the Zhang family, Zhang Bing, the treasurer of the banknote nicknamed "Pig's Head Bing".

Zhang Bing didn't enter Beijing alone, and there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy on the side, who looked like a gentleman, dressed in a Confucian shirt, and looked more like a scholar than Xu Xianchun.
