Chapter 288 Li Shu's Ancestor
The carriage drove to Xicheng, and the team grew a lot. There were five more large carriages. The ruts were deep, indicating that there were a lot of things on the carriages. In addition, there were a few more old ladies and girls, and seven or eight more guards and servants were accompanying them, heading towards the West City in a mighty manner.
This is where Li Shu temporarily stayed before going to find Zhu Pingan.
Li Shu also just arrived in the capital yesterday and stayed briefly for one night. She had not yet gone to the old residence of Li Mansion. She went to Gongyuan to find Zhu Pingan early that morning. Li Shu originally planned to wait for Zhu Pingan. A piece of the past.
Zhu Pingan lowered the curtains and retracted his eyes.
"Zhu Pingan, aren't you nervous anymore?" Li Shu's watery eyes seemed to be dripping with water. She looked at Zhu Pingan with a half-smile, and the corners of her mouth curved up slightly, with a sarcastic smile.
"Why should I be nervous?" Zhu Pingan asked.
“Because the ugly daughter-in-law is going to meet her parents-in-law.” Li Shu covered her small mouth with her slender hand and said with a smile, comparing Zhu Ping’an’s visit to their old house in Li’s family to the image of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.
"Your Li family is not a dragon's den or a tiger's den. What should I be nervous about?" Zhu Ping'an curled his lips disdainfully.
"Then do you know who our Li family is?" Li Shu held her cheeks in one hand and played with her inky hair with the other, pursed her lips and looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile.
"It's probably something like Lu Yan Pu Di, Zhong Ming Ding Shi House, etc. Anyway, he's not a rich man from Shanghe Village." Zhu Pingan put his hands behind his head, resting his head on the carriage, stretched his legs, and stretched comfortably. He lazed and replied casually.
Li Shu rolled her eyes when she heard this. Then seeing Zhu Pingan's casual action, he curled his lips.
"My Grandfather Taixuan wears a five-clawed golden dragon robe." Li Shu held her cheek in one hand and twisted the ends of her hair with the other. He said it lightly.
What the hell?
You really can’t stop talking without surprising me!
When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes. Five claws or a golden dragon robe? Dragons are divided into three, six, and nine grades. The image of the dragon with two horns and five claws is exclusively used by the emperor. The dragon pattern is the emperor's royal thing, and ministers and common people are not allowed to use it arbitrarily. Five claws are a dragon and four claws are a python. It doesn't matter if you are a four-clawed python. These five claws are still a golden dragon. Can your Li family still be a royal family? Is it possible that your grandfather Taixuan was the emperor?
Then Zhu Ping'an remembered looking at luck when he was a child, and saw that this stinky girl's luck was so purple
It's rare to say that this stinky girl can really be a royal?
But it’s wrong and impossible. Li Shu's surname was Li, and his father's surname was also Li. The current emperor's surname was Zhu. There was no way the emperor would let his descendants change their surname. Changing your surname is a serious crime of disobedience among the people, let alone the royal family that values bloodline inheritance!
For a while, Zhu Ping'an was a little confused about where the Li Shu family came from.
"My great-great-grandfather was the prince of Emperor Hongwu."
Li Shu looked at Zhu Pingan's surprised eyes and couldn't help but smile at Zhu Pingan with a smile on her lips. She had a pair of big black eyes and a strange face. Qi.
The royal prince?
Zhu Pingan looked at Li Shu, who was like a little fox, and narrowed his eyes slightly. His mind quickly searched the history books of the Ming Dynasty that he had read before. Ninety-nine percent of the princes of the Ming Dynasty had their own royal surnames. king. There are only a few princes named Li, and they were all granted posthumous titles. It seems that they have some idea.
“My Taizu and Emperor Hongwu have the same blood flowing in their bodies.”
When Zhu Ping'an felt like he had some clues. But Li Shu pursed her lips and added something.
Uh, have the same bloodline? Does this mean that the blood is from the same origin?
Zhu Pingan was a little unsure again, but looking at Li Shu's little fox-like smile, he roughly understood that this stinky girl deliberately misled him, but a combination of circumstances made Zhu Pingan closer to guessing. Here comes the answer.
There is the same blood in the body. They are not necessarily blood relatives, they may also be relatives by marriage. But as far as the Taizu of the Li Shu family is concerned. They must be the in-laws.
The scope suddenly narrowed again, and Zhu Pingan felt that he was close to the answer.
"My Taizu's surname is Zhu, and he is known as father and son to Emperor Hongwu. Queen Ma watched him grow up. My Taizu risked his life three times to remonstrate, which angered Long Yan. Emperor Hongwu once wanted to kill our Taizu, and Queen Ma heard about it. Later, Hong Wu was sad and shed tears. The emperor then pardoned my great ancestor."
Li Shu looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile and told her the story of her great ancestor word by word, wanting to see what Zhu Pingan heard about her great ancestor. What a reaction.
Compatible with Emperor Hongwu and his son? Did Queen Ma grow up? After Zhu Pingan heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly. The more this girl misled him, the closer she got to the answer.
It doesn’t matter if they match the father and son of Emperor Hongwu, or it doesn’t matter if Empress Ma grows up watching them. You must know that Taizu Hongwu had a hobby, the same hobby as Genghis Khan, which was to recognize his adopted son. Of course, it may also be a common hobby during the war years. The relationship between father and son is more stable, and he can be driven with confidence without worrying about betrayal. The relationship between father and son is consistent. If you betray your father, the whole world will despise you. According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang had more than 20 adopted sons during his lifetime. These adopted sons made great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang's unification of the country. Empress Ma started her family together with Zhu Yuanzhang. Empress Ma was the kindest and most generous person. She treated the adopted sons adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang as their own sons and treated them as her own children. She took care of their lives and found partners for them. She was very considerate. .
Most of the adopted sons adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang were out of utilitarianism. Seeing that the young man was a talented person, he recognized his adopted sons, trained them carefully, and let them work for him. When these adopted sons reach adulthood and have made sufficient achievements, Zhu Yuanzhang will let them restore their own surnames and give them independence.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son Zhu Wenying, also known as Mu Ying, was picked up by Zhu Yuanzhang when he was a child. After Mu Ying made great achievements in battle, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to restore his original surname, but Mu Ying was too young to remember it at the time. Mu Ying was moved by Zhu Yuanzhang's adoption. When Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to restore his original surname, he cried and said, "Your Majesty Mu and the Queen Mother's holy grace are as good as heaven and earth." Because of this sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the surname Mu, taking a word from Wenying's name. Ying, this is the origin of Mu Ying's name.
It can be seen that Li Shu’s Taizu should be one of the adopted sons adopted by Emperor Hongwu.
So, the original surname of Li Shu's great ancestor should be "Li". After being adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang, his surname was "Zhu". When he grew up and gained fame, he returned to his original surname of "Li".
Li Shu’s Taizu was the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang. His real surname was Li. His military exploits were relatively outstanding. He was named a prince. He should have been named a king posthumously.
Then the answer is ready to come out.
"Your Taizu was named the 'King of Qiyang'?" Zhu Pingan looked at Li Shu with a smile on his face and asked lightly.
If what Li Shu said was like rolling dark clouds filling the sky, then Zhu Pingan’s light words were like lightning piercing the sky. Even though the dark clouds rolled for most of the day, the lightning just disappeared in the blink of an eye. But it lit up the entire sky.
"Ah, how do you know?" Li Shu couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise when she heard this
