Rise From the Humble

When the carriage arrived at the West City, the team expanded a lot, with 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 Ping'an.

Li Shu also just arrived in the capital yesterday and stayed briefly for one night. She had not yet gone to Li's old residence. She went to Gongyuan to find Zhu Pingan early that morning. Li Shu originally planned to wait for Zhu Pingan to go there together.

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 mouth with her slender hand and said with a smile, comparing Zhu Ping'an going to their old house of the Li family to the image of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.

"Your Li family is not a dragon in 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. She 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. I stretched my waist, and replied casually.

Li Shu rolled her eyes upon hearing 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. A sentence came lightly.

What the hell?

You are so insane!

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 reserved exclusively for the emperor. The dragon pattern is the emperor's royal possession and cannot be used by ministers or common people. 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 the emperor's family? Could it be possible that your Taixuan grandfather 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 purple.

It's rare to say that this stinky girl can really be a royal family?

But no, it's impossible. Li Shu's surname is Li, and his father's surname is also Li. The current surname of the emperor is Zhu. There is no way that the royal family will watch their descendants change their surname. Changing one's surname is a serious crime of disobedience among the people, let alone the royal family that values ​​bloodline inheritance!

For a moment, Zhu Ping'an was a little confused about where the Li Shu family came from.

"My great-grandfather is the prince granted by Emperor Hongwu."

Li Shu looked at Zhu Pingan's surprised eyes and couldn't help but look at Zhu Pingan with a smile at the corner of her lips. She had a pair of big black eyes and a face full of weirdness.

The royal prince?

Zhu Ping'an 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 point nine percent of the Ming Dynasty princes were royal surnames. 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 some clues. But Li Shu pursed her lips and added another sentence.

Uh, same blood? 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 the answer.

There is one blood in the body. Not necessarily by blood, but by marriage. But as far as Li Shu's family Taizu 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. Empress 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. Afterwards, he was heartbroken and shed tears, and Emperor Hongwu pardoned my ancestor."

Li Shu looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile and told her about her great ancestor word by word, hoping to see Zhu Pingan's reaction when he heard about his great ancestor.

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.

So what if they are worthy of Emperor Hongwu and his son, or what if Empress Ma grows up. 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 Zhu Yuanzhang adopted were out of utilitarianism. Seeing that the young man was a talented person, he recognized his adopted sons, trained them carefully, and made 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 like 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 from this that Li Shu's Taizu should be one of the adopted sons adopted by Emperor Hongwu.

Therefore, 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, whose real surname was Li. His military exploits were relatively prominent, and 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 Li Shu's words were like rolling dark clouds filling the sky, then Zhu Ping'an's light words were like lightning piercing the sky. Although the dark clouds rolled for most of the day, the lightning only disappeared in the blink of an eye, but it illuminated the entire sky. piece of sky.

"Ah, how do you know?"

When Li Shu heard this, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.
