Chapter 1 Please be kind
Xu Jingchang had a dream that he had become a fifteen-year-old boy with the same name and surname, and was born with a prominent background. He was a noble descendant. His grandfather was named Xu Da, the founding Duke of Wei of the Ming Dynasty. He was posthumously named King of Zhongshan and his father was Xu Zengshou.
There is also an aunt who married King Yan Zhu Di.
In other words, Zhu Di is his uncle!
This identity is a little bit powerful, and then everything becomes reality...
In July, Jinling City was shrouded in the heat of summer. Xu Jingchang was wearing a plain white mourning uniform and sat on the stone bench on the grape trellis, looking around at the small garden with acre of land. The heroic spirit of the Xu family was self-evident.
However, this magnificent general has reached the critical moment of rise and fall, and even the Hongwu Dynasty, where countless nobles have fallen to the ground, has never been so embarrassed.
The past four years have been the four years of the Jingnan Campaign.
Zhu Di defeated the strong with his weak defeat and overturned his nephew Zhu Yunwen. Just a few days ago, the big Malaysian golden sword broke into Yingtian.
Xu Jingchang's father Xu Zengshou kept providing information to his brother-in-law Zhu Di and made great contributions. He was about to harvest the fruits of victory, but he fell on the eve of his success and was killed by Zhu Yunwen.
This is also the reason why Xu Jingchang was wearing mourning clothes at this time.
Almost overnight, the two pillars of the Xu family's home collapsed.
Zhu Gaoxu did not notice it, but said happily: "My brother, our two families have always had the best relationship. I am almost the same as my brother, and I can talk about everything. To be honest, my father once told me to work hard. After all, my elder brother is in poor health and weak and pedantic ways, so he is really... not suitable to inherit the great cause. This country will sooner or later fall on my shoulders."
Zhu Gaoxu rushed to Xu Jingchang quickly, reached out and grabbed Xu Jingchang's arm, looked carefully, and then asked him: "I accompanied you to bury my uncle a few days ago. I heard that you are sick when you come back, but have you recovered?"
"His Royal Highness of Han is right. Everyone is thinking about following the situation." Wang Ning smiled, as if he was coaxing a child.
Zhu Gaoxu almost choked to death. Are you really stupid or fake? If I could tell my father directly, would it take so much trouble?
He was so angry that he was speechless, staring at his eyes, constantly sweeping Wang Ning who came with him.
As he said that, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the side, and Wang Ning immediately took out a memorial and placed it in front of Xu Jingchang with a smile.
God-given opportunity, the advantage lies in me!
As long as he swept his ministers and let Zhu Di let go, he would be the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.
However, Xu Jingchang didn't take this trick at all. He said calmly: "His Royal Highness and I are relatives, but the Great Emperor is the same? Even if he asked him to preside over his father's funeral, he would not neglect it. He is the same relative, how can he favor one and the other?"
No matter what, you can't get involved with them.
But this was so ridiculous that it was so stinking in Xu Jingchang's ears.
Xu Jingchang was not so easy to be fooled when he was a man in his two lives. He wrote his name in black and white, so he couldn't explain it clearly.
Zhu Gaoxu was really anxious. Just as Jingnan was successful, the generals were all living together with him, and speaking the most effective. The eldest brother Zhu Gaochi was still in the capital of Peking, and even his mother did not come to Beijing.
Xu Jingchang understood more and more clearly. These two people just wanted to force themselves to help Zhu Gaoxu shake the flag and shout.
Or just go to my uncle Zhu Di and tell him that my father is dead, you can't ignore it...
Xu Jingchang's tone was sincere, but he also pushed it cleanly. You should deal with your father and son's affairs by yourself, don't involve me. If you can't deal with your father, you are incompetent!
The huge Xu family, all the burdens of the thousand pounds fell on Xu Jingchang.
His uncle, Xu Huizu, who inherited the title of Duke of Wei, chose to be loyal to Emperor Jianwen and became the loser of the Jingnan Campaign.
Wang Ning was sweating in a hurry. Why did this kid look like a loach and not keep his hands off?
He said anxiously: "His Highness the King of Han is deeply loved by His Majesty. Making him the crown prince is just a way to go with the flow. How can there be such trouble? The Xu family is the leader of the founding nobles and is a real relative of the King of Han. He should stand up and call out, and the decision will be achieved. What's more, His Highness the King of Han and the Marquis of Wuyang have a deep relationship. He cried bitterly at the funeral, and everyone saw it."
If Xu Jingchang was just ruling and dodging in front of him, he was furious at this moment. Not to mention anything else, it would be impossible to just make him nod and harm Xu Huizu and his son.
"Congratulations to Your Highness." Xu Jingchang said calmly.
Xu Jingchang simply said, "Mr. Wang, it turns out that you are talking about state affairs! I was young and my father passed away just now. I was extremely sad. I really didn't care about state affairs. I was really sorry."
His history is not very good, but I just vaguely remember that the Xu family seems to be a two-month family, but I don’t know how they survived the difficulties at all.
"Not only him, but also his sons, will also be eradicated. At that time, the title of Duke of Wei will naturally be a virtuous person. The huge Xu family is the final decision. As long as you nod, I will go and handle it immediately, and you will never waste any time." Zhu Gaoxu said proudly, and he felt that Xu Jingchang would definitely agree.
Zhu Gaoxu took the initiative: "My brother, Jingnan has just come true, and he is very confused. My father is also busy. My uncle's funeral is a bit hasty. I told my father that he would find an opportunity to be buried again according to the etiquette of the Duke. My uncle lost his life for us. When I think of this, I feel sorry for me!"
While speaking, a tall young man walked in. He looked in his early twenties. Kong Wu was powerful and majestic, probably King of Han Zhu Gaoxu. Behind him, a gentle middle-aged man was Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law named Wang Ning.
Three years later, the daylily became cold.
Xu Jingchang nodded slightly. He was not sick, but traveling through time, of course, he could never say this.
"Brother, please ask me to find His Majesty for family affairs, but you don't care about state affairs. What are you planning to do?" Zhu Gaoxu said with a high voice.
Xu Jingchang frowned slightly. His Highness of the King of Han was Zhu Di's second son Zhu Gaoxu. He was brave and martial, quite like Zhu Di. He made great contributions in the Jingnan Battle. Zhu Di ascended the throne and was named Zhu Gaoxu. He was quite famous among the noble and military officials, but he was still Xu Jingchang's cousin.
Xu Jingchang thought, but went out to greet him. After walking a few steps, he heard a loud and thick voice. He came in and did not think he was an outsider.
Zhu Gaoxu only felt his head buzzing. He had contacted so many people, but none of them were as difficult as Xu Jingchang.
"no!"
This guy Zhu Gaoxu only comes up with bad ideas, and no matter what, he can't get involved with him.
Xu Jingchang was scraping his stomach and was still unable to make up his mind. Suddenly, a one-eyed hometown was about to come in and bow to him.
If you harm your relatives and seize power, even if you allow yourself to inherit the position of Duke of Wei, can you sit firmly?
After all, Zhu Di took his nephew's dragon throne in the name of clearing the king. If he really listened to Zhu Gaoxu's words, the Xu family would kill each other and the news spread, would he still want to be a human being?
Especially when my aunt is still there, she is in trouble and dealing with her brother and nephew. If she causes her aunt's anger, she will be in real danger.
There are a lot of things in the court now, and his sudden visit is definitely not as simple as family traditions.
"Brother, my father will soon issue an edict to inherit your uncle's Marquis of Wuyang. He is just a mere marquis. How can I be worthy of my brother? I plan to do you a favor. As long as you sign your name and are willing to represent the Xu family and support me as the crown prince, I will make you a hereditary Duke." Zhu Gaoxu said confidently: "Xu Huizu is loyal to Zhu Yunwen. He wanted to arrest me at the beginning. He led troops several times to oppose his father. Since he wanted to follow Zhu Yunwen, he would die together, and no one could save him."
But one thing is certain, my aunt, Empress Xu, must have made great efforts... If you don’t write a letter to my aunt, as the only elder who has the final say, please help me!
"Thank you for your care, it's much better." Xu Jingchang welcomed the two of them, let them into the living room, and took the seats with guests and hosts.
Now even Wang Ning doesn’t know what to say. This kid doesn’t eat the soft and hard things, and doesn’t know how to be grateful, but what should I do?
Zhu Gaoxu stared at Xu Jingchang and gritted his teeth. He thought Xu Jingchang would be easy to get up, but he didn't expect that this kid would be too scrupulous and could not control him. There was no way, so he could only take out some real things.
Xu Jingchang said frankly: "I just lost my father. I was upset and confused. I really couldn't figure out anything. I hope Your Highness would be proud of me. I plan to mourn my father for three years and study behind closed doors. After three years, I will be eighteen years old and know more things. Maybe I can participate in one or two."
Zhu Gaoxu was full of confidence and smiled and said, "My brother, since that's the case, I have prepared a memorial here. I want to ask everyone to report to the father together and ask for the crown prince to be appointed soon. You can write your name as well."
you?
Xu Jingchang was stunned. Although my history was not very good, I also knew that it was the fat man who had the last laugh! And how could he take the emperor's promise seriously?
From this we can see that Zhu Gaoxu's mind is indeed not very good.
"Young Master, Your Highness, and Your Highness, and Your Majesty Wang Ning, are here to visit."
The one who bets right died, and the one who bets wrong is still alive, but it is almost the same as dying.
Xu Zengshou was killed by Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Di was too busy. It was indeed Zhu Gaoxu who helped the burial and was very attentive. At that time, Xu Jingchang was quite grateful to Zhu Gaoxu and wished he could follow his orders and follow his elder brother.
"Your Highness, I'm so grateful." Xu Jingchang said thank you, but his thoughts were different.
"My brother, can you be here?"
What a pity, why are you the opponent of Zhu Dapang? That person was Mr. Di in his previous life!
His name is Xu Yi. In the fifth year of Hongwu, he followed Xu Da to fight against the Northern Yuan Dynasty and lost one eye. Then he served three generations of people in the Xu Mansion for decades. He has been doing his best to respect him.
When Wang Ning saw this, he hurriedly advised: "The crown prince is not only a family matter, but also a major national matter. As a court official, he can also give advice. His Highness, the King of Han, is both virtuous and capable, and admires it from all over the world, and is the most suitable candidate."
He frowned and thought about a way to refuse, "Your Highness, I think who is the crown prince is just a matter of heaven's family. Your Majesty's words are just such trouble. You father and son should be honest and honest."
Marquis of Wuyang was conferred by Zhu Di to Xu Zengshou, and Wang Ning used his father to suppress Xu Jingchang.
Xu Jingchang suddenly stood up and said, "Uncle's life and death are all in the thoughts of Your Majesty. I have nothing to say. But I also ask Your Highness not to forget that Uncle is also the Empress's brother. His children, like me, are your cousins! Whose root do you want to remove the roots?"
How dare this kid yell at him?
Zhu Gaoxu was in a daze for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his ears. Who gave you the courage?
"Xu Jingchang, what do you mean?"
Xu Jingchang said coldly: "It's not interesting, I just want to advise Your Highness: Please be kind and kind!"
