Jiangpu County is located in the northwest of the capital, is the traffic artery connecting several provinces, across the Yangtze River and the capital in the distance, the geographical location is very important, has always been known as the west gate of Jinling.

Jiangnan County has a long history, rich literary style, there are many places of interest and historic sites, there are businessmen and tourists passing by the county all year round, it is very prosperous. Moreover, over the years, the imperial court has successively hit dozens of wealthy families who have moved from all over the country, and have bought land to build mansions and courtyards to purchase land and property, making the county more and more prosperous.

Today, three young men in fresh clothes and angry horses came by boat on the other side of the river, with a group of powerful slaves with weapons, walking on the main street unscrupulously, causing everyone's attention.

Huifeng Liquor Shop's shopkeeper Yu Xiaosi is well-informed, refining a pair of fiery eyes, looking at the young man passing by before the door, his eyes rolled, and he said to the guests who were eating wine with a smile: "See? That's the first-class prince of the capital. ”

The guest was a silk merchant from Sichuan, and said disdainfully: "The turtle son doesn't want to deceive people, are you deceiving us that we haven't seen the world?" Obviously wearing the royal flying fish suit of the brocade guard, where is the prince and grandson. ”

Yu Xiaosi smiled confidently: "Since the guest officer doesn't believe it, then let's make a bet and bet on the money." ”

The merchant held the wine bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "Ge Laozi, are you trying to cheat?" Yes! The big guy also asked me to help me testify, and gambled. ”

Seeing this, several tables of guests around them clamored one after another, some inclined to shop junior, and some inclined to businessmen. Yu Xiaosi said proudly: "Anyone who doesn't believe me, he must not have been to the capital a few times, is it right?" ”

The guests who were inclined to the merchant couldn't help but nod, and the merchant had a premonition that he was going to lose, so he laughed and scolded: "Hurry up, if you make it clear, this consistent money will be given with both hands immediately, and you will have a long insight, and the province will enter Beijing without knowing the depth and offend people." ”

Yu Xiaosi immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "You have extraordinary knowledge, you will definitely make a lot of money when you enter Beijing this time, and you will not be wronged by your consistent losses." ”

Yu Xiaosi looked around, smiled lightly at the shopkeeper who shook his head and was speechless, and said, "The little one will talk to the big guy carefully." First of all, I'm afraid you don't know, now no one in Jinyiwei is qualified to wear a flying fish suit, what is the reason for the small inconvenience to say, it's best not to inquire after you enter Beijing, in short, Jinyiwei is no longer the Jinyiwei of the past.

Second, even in the past, the flying fish suit is not the exclusive wear of the brocade guard, some Tianhuang nobles like to wear it, the difference is very simple, let's look at the age, under the age of 20 dare to wear the flying fish suit to swagger, it must be the princes and grandsons, as for the adult princes and grandsons are more stable, either wearing ordinary clothes or wearing a red python robe to go out. ”

The merchant shouted unbelievingly: "There are many sons and eunuchs of the family who have been rewarded by the imperial court with flying fish suits, and they can wear them differently?" I've seen a lot, Xiao Er, you lost. ”

Yu Xiaosi grinned and said: "Wait for the little one to finish speaking, this third is that in our county, there is a princess's mansion, and the three princes and grandsons know at a glance that they are not going far away, and they naturally come to Jiangpu to visit the princess's mansion." Would you like to believe it or not? Although he sent an entourage to follow him and take a look. ”

The businessman has been traveling south and north for many years, and his eyesight is just as good, combined with Xiao Er's analysis, he actually believed it in his heart, but he deliberately asked: "This is strange, the eldest princess's mansion of which dynasty does not live in the capital, will move to you?" Could it be that the previous dynasty did not succeed? ”

Yu Xiaosi lowered his voice and said, "It's me to the eldest princess, Princess Lin'an." It is still the eldest son of the deceased Li Shanchang Li Lao Prime Minister, after the old prime minister sat down, only the horse master and his two sons were saved from death, and were exiled to Jiangpu County to live in seclusion, not wanting to be a horse master Fu Bo, and died of depression in less than two years. Only the princess was left to raise her two sons alone, alas, pitiful! ”

"I see." How can a businessman not know the founding hero Li Shanchang? also sighed, and sighed with emotion, and took out the usual treasure money and rewarded it to Yu Xiaosi.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion was built on the west side of the county seat, and there was no plaque hanging on the gate, so it was not a local neighbor, and few people knew that there was a princess living here. The whole mansion looks like an ordinary big family, with three in, three out, and four square courtyards with white walls and blue tiles.

The sides of the door were covered with half-foot-tall weeds, the scarlet paint of the doorposts was peeling, and the walls were mottled with moss and creepers.

The two old husbands leaned listlessly against the door, their cloudy old eyes slightly closed, dozing off.

The people who came were Xu Hao and Zhu Gaoxu Mu Ang, because Xu Hao remembered the entrustment of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, so he came by boat with them who were idle and panicked.

Zhu Di doesn't seem to have much family affection for this eldest sister, but as a sect member, he has to worry about it, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang accidentally asked about the bad business, and Zhu Gaochi directly ordered Xu Hao to visit on his behalf.

Xu Hao was curious, so he went to the Zongren Mansion to check the royal jade disc file, he acted on behalf of King Yan, and the officials of the Zongren Mansion did not dare to slack off and showed it to him. It turned out that the biological mother of the eldest princess of Lin'an was the late Sun Guifei, and she gave birth to her one daughter. When Sun Guifei was alive, her status was second only to Queen Ma, and she was the concubine who Zhu Yuanzhang married when she was longqian, and her father-in-law was Ma Shixiong, the marshal of Yangzhou at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

As for the relationship between Ma Shixiong and Queen Ma, the records in the archives are unknown, and Xu Hao estimates that he should be related to him, otherwise it would be too much of a coincidence.

In this way, Concubine Sun and Queen Ma can be regarded as cousins, and it was normal for cousins to marry the same husband in ancient times. At that time, Xu Hao couldn't help but think when he saw this, is it normal for Qingshuang to marry him? Don't you need to ask, it's definitely not normal, how can there be two county lords who are sisters and married to the same husband?

Of course, it is also Xu Hao's normal crankiness, the so-called ideological derailment, which is just occasional.

Princess Lin'an is the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, and she is favored by her biological mother Sun Guifei and Queen Ma at the same time, just like Zhu Qiaoqiao, even if she is a concubine, she is just as noble.

At that time, he married Li Qi, the eldest son of Li Shanchang, the second meritorious person, and married the princess for the first time.

After marriage, the husband and wife were harmonious, and the concubine Li Qi was deeply valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, but unfortunately later with Li Shanchang's family were unjustly killed, if it wasn't for the face of the eldest daughter, Li Qi and the two sons would have to be executed, and it was a big deal that the princess would marry someone else.

Li Qi died of illness a few years ago, leaving behind two sons. Now that the emperor is getting old, he gradually has no energy to pay attention to all his children all the time, and Princess Lin'an's status in his eyes is probably insignificant, not to mention that she is married! There is no shortage of cute and lively daughters around Zhu Yuanzhang, and now there are four or five young princesses raised in the palace under Chenghuan's knees, and eight or nine married daughters live next door to the Forbidden City, and they can enter the palace at any time to meet each other.

Sun Guifei and Queen Ma passed away one after another, Zhu Biao, the crown prince born to Queen Ma, also died of illness, and the second son of King Qin was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang for making repeated mistakes. The third son, King Jin, has been in the fiefdom and his bones have always been bad, as if he was taking medicine and eating. Therefore, except for King Yan, who claims to be the fourth son, in the huge Ming Dynasty, there are few people who remember Princess Lin'an and shelter her from the wind and rain.

Fortunately, Queen Ma also has two biological daughters, Princess Ningguo, the second daughter of the emperor, and Princess Anqing, the fourth daughter of the emperor, who often exchange letters with each other, and the four seasons are constantly ritualized, which comforts the widowed Princess Lin'an, who lives at home, and uses this to chat to get by.

The emperor's daughter does not worry about getting married, no matter how tragic her fate is, she will have no worries about food and clothing, because Xu Hao has no feelings for this widow princess, and there is probably nothing to do except sympathy.

Anyway, it was a matter of being entrusted by people to be loyal, Xu Hao rode his horse to the gate of the mansion first, and Zhu Gaoxu followed behind with a smile, not feeling anything about it. With Zhu Gaoxu's violent and straightforward personality, in his opinion, everyone is a brother, and if they don't appear on formal occasions, there is nothing to worry about in terms of identity.

"Wake up."

Xu Hao, who turned over and dismounted, frowned and said, the two old men who were guarding the door opened their faint old eyes, and when they saw that they were the children of the royal family wearing flying fish suits, they would not mistake them for Jinyiwei, this is the valuable experience of the old man, and suddenly trotted over with a smile on his face.

Xu Hao, in line with the purpose of spending the public's money casually, pointed to the clumps of weeds under the wall, and then pointed to the incomplete tiles on the house, and said: "Let the steward go to the Zongren Mansion tomorrow and send some craftsmen to repair it, and say that he was instructed by His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

"Yes, yes, great." The old man suddenly smiled from ear to ear, and the two turned around and ran into the house together, calling someone to go.

Here, Zhu Gaoxu came over with a grin, pouted, and said, "I'm going to sue you for making your own decisions." Whoever tells you not to consult with me first. ”

Xu Hao waved his hand at him and said, "Go, while playing, I haven't seen you do anything serious." ”

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly smiled: "It's all trivial, I'm not interested." When you return to Yanjing with me, I will ask you to teach me my skills and take you to fight the Mongols. ”

There was no one left and right, Xu Hao couldn't help but say again: "How many times have I told you, the best policy is to raze and control the party, and the surrounding subjugated Mongolian tribes should focus on comfort, and don't easily burn, kill and loot." After using the Mongol knights who are good at cavalry and archery to suppress the rebellion in all directions, it is not too late to settle accounts after the autumn, you are now running to kill people and set fires, and if you don't raise your murderous reputation, who will be willing to serve you in the future? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was not convinced, and couldn't help but say: "You always nag endlessly, with the 100,000 elites of my Yan Wangfu, I can use it to recruit those barbaric and ignorant Mongolian knights?" It's better to slaughter them all. ”

Xu Hao saw that someone had come out, and hurriedly said, "Let's talk about this in advance." ”

Mu Ang was already dizzy when he heard it, pulled Zhu Gaoxu's sleeve to the side, and whispered: "You must take me with you when you go back to the north, can I be your own soldier?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his size and small body, and sneered: "Just you? No, stay at home and play with your maids. ”

Mu Ang suddenly became anxious, and said angrily: "Why don't you drag your brother-in-law to fight together?" He's a scholar, and his martial arts aren't as good as mine. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "You can't compare with him, my brother likes to fight side by side with him, that's called a pleasure." Do you dare to kill someone at the slightest disagreement? ”

"Why don't you dare? Why don't you try me and see if I dare? Mu Ang puffed up his chest, looking like he was not afraid of heaven and earth.

Zhu Gaoxu subconsciously pointed at the person who was riding a tall horse on the opposite side, and seemed to be surrounded by many subordinates, and said, "Go and beat him, and I'll take you to fight." ”

Mu Ang is also a tiger, regardless of his small size and weak strength, he immediately ran towards the people with a fierce light in his eyes.

Xu Hao noticed the two of them at this time, seeing that it was too late to hold Mu Ang, and he was afraid that he would have three long and two short, so he secretly said that he would be evil this time, so he immediately yelled: "Copy the guy, the big guy will go together." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed, in his eyes, the lives of the people were as small as grass mustard, and said with a cruel smile: "Kill them." ”
