My Daming New Empire

Yang Zhangde asked excitedly, "Is it really unparalleled in beauty?"

He was lustful, but when he heard that the little girl of the Li family was unparalleled in beauty, he was really moved.As for Zhu Jixuan, as a Jinyiwei, he knew very well that this person was a standard villain.

Zhu Jixuan was the third son of Jin Gongwang Zhu Shushu, and the younger brother of Jinding Wang Zhu Jixuan.

In April of the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Jixuan attacked Jin Wang, and Zhu Jixi was granted the title of Pingyang King. Zhu Jixi did not like his father doting on his brother.He also learned that his elder brother was dissatisfied with Ming Chengzu's usurpation of the throne, so he took the opportunity to continuously slander Zhu Jixi in front of Ming Chengzu.

Zhu Jixuan instigated his younger brother Qingcheng Wang Zhu Jixuan and others to slander Zhu Jixuan and list crimes for many years.

On the first day of September in the 12th year of Yongle, Jin Wang Zhu Jixuan was abolished, and Zhu Jixuan succeeded him as Jinwang.

Zhu Jixuan attacked the Queen of Jin even more stubbornly and cruelly. He poisoned his mother-in-law Xie Shi, the concubine of Jin, and forced Jixiang, the maid of King Gong Zhu of Jin Dynasty, to put Zhu Jixi and his nephew Zhu Meigui under house arrest without giving them food.Most of the attendants in the palace were harmed by father and brother, so I dare not speak.

Zhu Di knew most of what Zhu Jixuan did, but he needed such a white-eyed wolf to deter his brothers and nephews, so he pretended not to know.

Such a person, in the eyes of Jin Yiwei, is doomed to die a bad life.

But he happened to have a noble status, and becoming his brother-in-law could bring Yang Zhangde into the noble circle.

Yang Zhangde figured out the middle link in a moment, and even felt excited that he would personally bring Zhu Jixuan to justice in the future.

At that time, if it was him who "killed relatives righteously", his reputation would definitely be even better.

Thinking of this, he leaned over to Chu Song and said, "Since Brother Chu mentioned Cao Guogong's mansion, he must be able to get in touch with him. I also hope that Brother Chu can send the Buddha to the west and help me to save myself."

He is now two levels higher than Chu Song, and Chu Song did not dare to accept his full salute, so he returned the salute and said, "I have been neighbors with Cao Guogong's mansion for many years, and I know his family's situation quite well. Now, except for that big house, their family property has been taken care of by others." The expropriation mainly depends on the women's family to do some embroidery work, and the king of Jin, Zhu Jixuan, provides relief. In other words, there is only that empty frame left."

Yang Zhangde smiled and said, "I just want to borrow that empty shelf from their house!"

Chu Song nodded and said with a smile: "They want to use you as a powerful minister to make the family's life easier, so if this marriage can be achieved, it will be of great benefit to Brother Zhang De!"

Zhongfufang, Cao Guogong's mansion.

As the first family of the Ming Dynasty in the past, the Duke Cao's Mansion has long since declined.Because the family property was confiscated, Cao Guogong's mansion, which originally occupied half of the neighborhood, had been divided up and sold out one by one, and now only the original main house is left.

More than 40 people now live in three courtyards, relying on women's family members to do some embroidery work in exchange for some money.

Li Jinglong was very handsome when he was young, but he is still a handsome old man now, but the aura of his early years has completely dissipated, and he is just a bad old man.

He, Li Zengzhi and Li Fangying couldn't go out or work, so they could only be useless people in the mansion.After committing suicide once, Li Jinglong didn't have the courage to commit suicide, so he lived like this day by day.

Early this morning, he had just finished drinking the gruel for the night, and before he put down the bowl, he saw the old servant Li Shou enter the lobby. "My lord, Chu Song, a thousand households of Jinyiwei outside the west gate, pay my respects."

"The son of Chu Laosan who works in Jinyiwei! There is no reason, why is he visiting?"

"He also brought the widow Qiao, who was in the neighborhood, with four gifts wrapped in red paper in his hand. He must have come to propose marriage."

Li Jinglong smiled wryly. In Cao Guogong's mansion, cats and dogs could visit the door casually, but now he dare not throw people out.

This Chu Song was working in Jinyiwei, so he couldn't deal with him, but he was able to deal with the few servants in the mansion, which made the whole mansion restless.

He just proposed marriage, but he didn't think about his own daughter.Whether it is him or the two younger brothers, there are several concubine daughters, and the concubine daughters are not married.

Today's Cao Guogong's mansion is not as good as before, and the children and grandchildren can marry at a low price. If this girl is married at a low price, the only reputation of the Cao Guogong's mansion will be ruined.

He pondered for a while and said: "Then call him in and see what's going on!"

Thank you Brother Shake your head for the rewards, and also thank you Shan Qingying, Da Sui Zhang Degong, bamboo sticks, I spit on you, super cowardly hair ball, thank you everyone

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Chu Song entered the lobby respectfully, but the smiling matchmaker behind him was blocked by the old housekeeper.

Although Cao Guogong's mansion has fallen, it is not something that ordinary people can enter the house casually.This hall once entertained three emperors, and on the lintel of the door there is still the three characters "Ruyuan Hall" inscribed by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, which cannot be profaned by ordinary people.

After all, this Chu Song is also an official of the imperial court, and this matchmaker is too low-grade.

The matchmaker wasn't angry either, anyway, it was a trip today, not only to receive Xie Jin, but also to see the glorious Duke's Mansion in the past, it was already a worthwhile trip.

Chu Song entered the lobby, bowed respectfully to Li Jinglong to the end, and said, "My neighbor, Chu Song, has seen the father-in-law."

Li Jinglong was quite satisfied with his attitude, nodded and said: "I remember you, I think back then, when your elder brother replaced your father and entered Jinyiwei, I originally wanted to arrange you to walk in my mansion, but I didn't prevent your elder brother from being with you. You entered Jinyiwei only after the rebels were killed in battle."

Chu Song didn't dare to be sloppy, and said respectfully: "My father-in-law took extra care of our neighbors and neighbors at the beginning. Song was also taken care of by my father-in-law when he was young, and he dared not forget his roots."

Li Jinglong shook his head and said: "You don't need to mention the title of Lord. I am now a commoner, and I am worse than you, Jin Yiwei Qianhu. What is the reason for this visit?"

Chu Song clasped his fists and said, "Song's visit to the lord this time is because he really wants to make a good family for the lord, hoping to help the lord get out of the predicament."

Li Jinglong said with a chuckle: "Boy of the Chu family, it seems shameless to say such words!"

The decline of the Li family was on Zhu Di's mind. Before Zhu Di changed his mind, no one could save the Li family.

It is indeed a bit brazen for Chu Song to say this now.This is Li Jinglong's white body now. In the past, Chu Song could be beaten out with just this sentence.

Chu Song said solemnly: "If these words are said from my mouth, it is indeed a shameless statement, but... what if it is said from the mouth of His Royal Highness?"

The smile on Li Jinglong's face froze there, looking at Chu Song with a surprised expression.It took him a while to react, looked at Chu Song and asked, "How do you say that?"

Chu Song first bowed three times in the direction of the palace, and then said: "Song's trip was entrusted by His Royal Highness, to form a good family for the father-in-law and the young daughter, and he came here by order!"

Li Jinglong's face showed a half-smile, half-cry expression, and he was so excited that he couldn't say a word.

His Cao Guogong's Duke is Xijue and his father Li Wenzhong.

It has been more than ten years, from being the leader of the ministers at the beginning to becoming the god of plague that everyone can't hide from, Li Jinglong can be said to be ashamed of his ancestors.

The right and wrong, kindness and resentment of these years are too numerous to record.

But if there is a chance to make the Li family rise again, why wouldn't he be eager?

In the past ten years of living in the capital, he has not been ignorant of things outside the window. He also has a deep understanding of this grandson who has been valued by Zhu Di since he was a child.

Just because of his understanding, he is very aware of the weight of the grandson in Zhu Di's heart. If there is anyone who can make Zhu Di change his mind, it is only this grandson.

If this is Taisun's intention, he will know what to do without even thinking about it.

At this time, he became interested in Chu Song's marriage proposal, and asked, "Who is the man?"

Chu Song showed a smile, the grandson's sign is still easy to use, anyone who faces the grandson will let go of his pride. "The man is Yang Zhangde, the commander of Jinyiwei recently promoted by His Royal Highness. This person has a single family and a simple population. This person has only two concubines with no children in the capital. When a female son marries, he does not have to serve his in-laws, and he does not have to face it." It's really a good match to have a side room."

Li Jinglong glanced at him and said: "Since the founding of the country, the Taizu established the Jinyiwei, how many officials of the Jinyiwei have been safe and sound?"

Chu Song said with a smile: "My lord, this moment, that moment. At the beginning, the officials were just competing in this small circle, but since His Royal Highness Taisun decided to go overseas, the situation is very different now. If you don't say anything else, just talk about it." Today's Commander Ji Gang, Commander Zhuang Jing, and Peacekeeper Pang Ying, although they have done a lot of evil, but now there is still an extra way to retreat! As long as that Yang Zhangde does not disobey His Highness, in the future, even if the country is angry and people complain, it will be fine. There is a place to live overseas. My lord may not know it yet, but if Ji Gang succeeds this time, he will be able to become a duke and a marquis!"

Although Li Jinglong has some understanding of the situation in the capital, he has no way of knowing about some personnel changes and personnel adjustments.

He only knew that Ji Gang had been going to sea since last year, but he didn't know exactly what he was doing.
