Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 289 Li Shuqi's family

   Judging from Li Shu's surprised reaction, Zhu Ping'an knew that he had guessed right.

   "Hehe, I also know that Emperor Yongle likes your great great-grandfather very much."

   Facing Li Shu's astonishment, Zhu Ping'an added with the corner of his lips hooked again. Can you not like it, this is the person who "helped" Emperor Yongle ascend the throne.

  Li Shu’s grandfather Taixuan was Zhu Yuanzhang’s brother-in-law. He married Zhu Yuanzhang’s second sister in his early years. When Zhu Yuanzhang was young, his relatives were relatively poor. Only Li Zhen’s family was able to eat enough and often helped Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, among all relatives, he took extra care of Li Zhen's family. Zhu Yuanzhang not only asked Li Zhen to "exempt from the imperial court, but not to be named in praise", but also allowed him to wear the dragon robe of the five-clawed golden dragon. Li Zhen is the only living relative of the same generation after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor.

  Li Shu's great-grandfather was Li Wenzhong, son of Li Zhen, and nephew of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. He is also Zhu Yuanzhang's famous general and adviser, and the third hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. When Li Wenzhong was twelve years old, his mother Princess Cao Guochang passed away, and his father Li Zhen took him to the rebellious army and was on the verge of death many times. It was two years later that I saw my uncle Zhu Yuanzhang in Chuzhou. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Wenzhong, he loved him very much, so he adopted him as his adopted son and took his surname Zhu. Li Wenzhong was brave and good at fighting, with outstanding military achievements, he was named Cao Guogong, and he was posthumously named Qiyang King after his death.

   At that time, the Li family could be said to be "clothed and crowned in the third generation, and the kindness was poured out in one family. Today, there is no family that is more than a minister."

   As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs, but this is not the case for Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong. Li Wenzhong's son, Li Shu's great-great-grandfather, is the famous "God of War" general in history, Li Jinglong.

  The name is very powerful, 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 is also very fond of reading military books. He is more familiar with memorization than Zhao Kuo, and he often plays backwards.

  Of course, Li Jinglong made his name during the Jingnan Battle. The Battle of Jingnan was a battle for the throne within the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, but the one who controlled this battle for the throne, and the most shining person in this battle was none other than "God of War" Li Jinglong.

  When Zhu Di's Jingnan offensive was frustrated, and his subordinates wanted to pack up and go back to their hometown, and the Jingnan campaign was about to fail, who stood up? That's right, it was him, our "God of War" Li Jinglong, he stood up, he was majestic and heroic, talking and laughing, the million-strong army of Emperor Jianwen was wiped out.

  When Zhu Di attacked the city of Nanjing and was helpless in the face of the Baizhang city wall, scratching his head and sighing, who stood up? Is he he or he, our "hero" Li Jinglong.

   God of War Li can almost be regarded as the number one hero in the battle of Jingnan, how could our Emperor Yongle not like him.

  However, the only problem is that our Comrade Li Jinglong is the general of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi, and he and Zhu Di are not in the same group.

  When Zhu Pingan said that Emperor Yongle liked the ancestor of Li Shu's family very much, the corners of his mouth curled up. Li Shu is not blind, so she can see the curve of Zhu Ping'an's mouth clearly, and she is also very clear about Zhu Ping'an's thoughts.

   "Do you think you can know the truth of history by reading a few history books?"

  For Zhu Ping'an's ridicule, Li Shu was not angry at all, playing with her hair with her slender hands, and gently parting her lips to ask a question.

   "So what I said was wrong?" Zhu Ping'an leaned against the carriage and said slowly.

"No, you're right. Chengzu really likes my Gaozu very much. But it's not the kind you laughed at, but he really likes it. Chengzu is a few years older than my Gaozu. They are close relatives. Another piece The grown-up and the young are good friends, and the relationship is very good. The two once trained troops together in other places, and later became the ancestors of Yan, and they also exchanged letters several times, and kept in touch."

  Li Shu played with her hair with her slender hands, looked at Zhu Ping'an with big watery eyes, there was a sparkle in them, and a small cherry mouth raised a shallow smile.

Um?

After hearing Li Shu's words, Zhu Ping'an was slightly taken aback. Zhu Di and Li Jinglong were young. It can be considered that the relationship is relatively close, and the age difference is not too big. When Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Wenzhong led the army to go out, it is very likely that they were left together and let people look after them. It is not impossible to make a small story.

"In the Battle of Jingnan, my ancestor Gaozu broke into the Zhangyi Gate in Beiping. Why didn't he enter? In the battle of Baigouhe, Chengzu was almost captured. Why did he escape alone? My Gaozu defeated 500,000 troops. How could he still win the battle?" Emperor Jianwen trusted him, and allocated another 600,000? As a general of the defeated army, why did Chengzu ascend the throne and enshrine him as a military minister of Fengtian Fuyun to promote sincerity and Xuanli, special Jin Guanglu doctor, Zuozhuguo, and was above Chengzu's team of heroes, the court has For important matters, let him be the leader to discuss. Emperor Jianwen didn't know people well, so could it be that Emperor Yongle also didn't know people?"

   "Do you think an idiot general can do it?"

   "The history books are written by the victors. This sentence is not accurate. The accurate statement is that the history books are written by the victorious people in power."

   "What Chengzu, who is hard to win the throne, needs is an idiot general to set off his great achievements, shock the world, and stabilize his throne; he doesn't need a **** of war who endures humiliation to divide his achievements 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 Pingan was thinking about Li Shu's words, and distinguishing the authenticity of them, he saw a handsome fair face suddenly appeared in front of him, with smiles on the brows and corners of his eyes, and a pair of big watery eyes seemed to be dripping water , with a playful smile on his small mouth.

   "Hehe. Stupid toad, you really believe it, hehe."

  Li Shu narrowed her watery eyes slightly and looked at Zhu Ping'an, smiling like a little fox having fun.

   "My Li family's great-great-grandfather was stripped of his title of Duke of Cao, and later regained his title, and then he was conferred a lower title. Now our Li family inherits the Marquis, the hereditary Marquis of Linhuai."

   After laughing, Li Shu went on to introduce the situation of her family to Zhu Pingan, but simply talked about the changes in the title of the Li family.

Male Duke, Marquis is also a very high title, and he is considered the highest among the noble children. Now there are not many Dukes in Ming Dynasty, except for Xu Da’s descendants who are still attacking Duke Wei, that is, Chang Yu The descendants of Chun are inheriting the title of the Duke of the founding of the country, probably the Duke of Cheng who was named Zhu Neng, the hero of Jingnan, is still inheriting it, and Tang He and other heroes of the founding of the country during the Zhu Yuanzhang period are probably also descended. The Marquis is still a hereditary Marquis, so the Marquis of Li Shu's family can be regarded as a wealthy family among the nobles in the capital.

"The current Marquis of Linhuai is my uncle, but my grandmother is in charge of the house. I have many uncles, and many brothers and sisters. Oh, I'm almost home, so I'll tell you about them one by one. "

  As Li Shu said, hearing movement outside, she stretched out her slender hands and opened the curtains to take a look outside, then put down the curtains and said something to Zhu Pingan in conclusion, and then gave another word of worry.

   "The people in Hou's mansion are not easy-going lamps, you have to be careful."
