After the banquet was over, and after sending off the guests, Guo Zhong called Guo He to the study, but he was silent for a while.

Besides, he just stood quietly and didn't ask why. In his heart, he knew that his father was hesitating to tell him something, something very important and important to his life.

"There's one thing you have to keep in mind, don't ask why. The bell finally spoke.

"Hmm. ”

"In the future, if you are in danger, when your life is at stake, you will ask for help from a place or a person, but remember that it must be a very dangerous time to do so. ”

"What place, what person? is it Wudang?" besides, I took it for granted.

"No, it's Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou, and the person I'm looking for is the abbot of Hanshan Temple. ”

Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship.

Besides, this poem suddenly popped up in my mind, and I suddenly felt a little illusory.

"Remember, no matter who the abbot of Hanshan Temple is, you can ask him for help, and you can only ask him for help alone, if you can't go to the temple in person, you can have someone bring a letter asking for help. Guo Zhong didn't pay attention to the change in his son's mental state.

Besides, suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Did Nan Qiaoyun ask you something again today?"

"It has nothing to do with this, I'm just planning ahead, I said, you're older, there are some things you should know, but I can't tell you all about it. ”

"When, how old am I, can you tell me all?"

"It's not about how old you are, it's about reaching the highest point of your life, when you can. ”

"The highest point of life? is to lift people, to be a jinshi, it will not be necessary for me to be the champion, right?" and the more I listened, the more confused I became.

"It's even higher than that, when you take over the mantle of Old Master Chen one day. ”

"But why?" besides, he was a little angry, and the blood rushed to his brain.

He could feel the tragedy and desolation in his father's words, and there was more helplessness. He knew that his father didn't tell him to protect him, but he was able to stand on his own feet and didn't need anyone's protection.

"You'll understand when you know, and until then, don't ask why, just remember what I tell you. Guo Zhong said in an accentuated tone.

"Okay. Besides, he had to nod his head in agreement.

As he was talking, Ji Wu hurriedly walked in, forgot to salute, and said loudly and shyly: "Master, a few people came outside, saying that they were from the Zhongshan Palace, waiting to see the master and the young master, who are they waiting in the hall now." ”

Zhongshan Palace?

When Zhong Zhong heard this, his brain was dizzy, and he almost fell, and his heart cried bitterly: I knew it was almost coming, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

Now, what to do?

"People from the Zhongshan Palace's Mansion also come to us for medical treatment?"

Besides, it's a little confused, the treatment of all the royal palaces and the Guogong Mansion is the responsibility of the Tai Hospital, and you can't just go out for treatment, which is also the rules and regulations of the dynasty.

"They...... It's not like they're here to see a disease, they're all like wolves and tigers, so fierce. Ji Wu said with palpitations.

"How many people came. The bell asked sharply.

"Five people. ”

"Is there an ironclad out there? a soldier wearing a helmet and a chain armor?"

"No, the people of the Zhongshan Royal Mansion still have to be guarded by the Iron Armor Army when they are sick?" Ji Wu was completely confused, and kept scratching his head.

The bell's voice softened a little: "Oh. Okay, I got it. ”

Besides, Zhong heard that there were only five people coming, and there was no ironclad army to surround the house, which showed that the problem was not as serious as he thought.

"Don't go out yet, I'll go out and see, if something happens, you leave me alone, take your sister with you, go as far as you want, and never look back." ”

After saying that, he walked out generously.

Why do you want to escape?

He suddenly felt as if his brain had exploded, and he seemed to remember something for a moment, but when he seemed to be about to touch that memory, his brain died of pain. As long as you don't think about it, the headache will slowly go away.

Ji Wu asked in a low voice: "Young Master, then I'll go tell Mother Liu and make some preparations for Miss." ”

"No, I don't. ”

Besides, there is another plan, even if something really happens, the family will be stabbed together, and they must not leave their father to escape alone. In addition, although he felt that this matter was too strange, it might be completely opposite to what his father thought.

"Then I'll go see the master. Ji Wu asked again.

"Let's go, let's go together. ”

After saying that, he walked out first and walked towards the hall where the guests were entertained outside.

As soon as I left the door, I saw my father walking back, with a relaxed face and joy that could not be concealed.

"Besides, it is the little prince of Zhongshan Wangfu who wants to invite you to play chess, and the people from the palace are here to pick you up. ”

"Playing chess?"

Besides, I hate this little prince to death, I don't know if it can scare people to death?

Zhongshan Wangfu is the descendant of Xu Da, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the system of the Ming Dynasty is that the opposite sex is not allowed to be crowned king, which is learned from Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's desk book is the Han book, and the most admired is Liu Bang.

However, a military minister can be crowned a prince, and after the death of an official, the court is usually to raise his rank before his death by one level and become a gift, which is regarded as the final title of the person.

Therefore, after the death of the Duke of Guo, he can be crowned king, Xu Da was crowned the Duke of Wei during his lifetime, and after his death, he was crowned the prince of Zeng, that is, the king of Zhongshan. This is the so-called king of life and death. Descendants can also enjoy the gift of their ancestors and the false name of the prince.

This is not the case with the Zhongshan Palace, they are similar to the real palace in the eyes of the world and the court, and even the mansion is built according to the specifications of the Prince's Mansion. It is not comparable to other national governments.

This is also for a reason, Zhu Yuanzhang takes the world, Xu Da has the greatest credit, it can be said that it is his Han Xin, Zhu Yuanzhang is called the emperor, and Xu Da is still the eldest brother and the eldest brother, and he never calls him by name. The Duke of Wei naturally has a special status in front of all the princes.

Zhu Di rebelled against the imperial court in Yanjing, and Xu Da's two sons went their separate ways and embarked on the road of confrontation.

At that time, the Duke of Wei was Xu Da's eldest son Xu Huizu, who succeeded his father as the Duke of Guo. He strongly advocated Emperor Jianwen's plan to reduce the feudal domain and was loyal to the imperial court.

Xu Da's youngest son, Xu Zengshou, because of his father's merits and qualifications, was also promoted to the governor of Zuodu, which is equivalent to the vice minister of national defense. However, because his sister married King Yan as a concubine, he also had a similar relationship with King Yan, so he secretly informed Zhu Di of the movements in the capital, and became a senior spy lurking beside Emperor Jianwen.

Later, the matter was revealed, and Emperor Jianwen couldn't bear to treat Xu Da's crimes because of Xu Da's merits, so he just put him under house arrest in the palace.

At the last moment when Zhu Di broke through the city of Nanjing, Emperor Jianwen was furious, thinking that it was Xu Zengshou who led the wolf into the house, and he suffered this catastrophe, and in anger, he personally slashed Xu Zengshou with a sword, and then led a group of eunuchs to escape.

After the Yan army entered the city, Xu Huizu also personally led his family to fight in the streets, and later knew that he could not be defeated, so he had to flee to the grass house next to his father's tomb in the suburbs, avoiding Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was unwilling to cure the eldest brother's sin because of the relationship between the princess, so he personally took someone to see him and wanted to give him a step down. Unexpectedly, Xu Huizu didn't say a word when he saw him, but just wrote a line of words on the stone case between the two:

I am the hero of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he could only put Xu Huizu under house arrest for life, and the title treatment was as usual.

After Zhu Di became emperor, he thanked Xu Zengshou for his kindness and named his son the Duke of Dingguo, and his favor was even higher than that of the Duke of Wei. The Xu family was the only family in the Ming Dynasty that produced two princes, but it was exchanged for blood.

After moving the capital to Yanjing, Yanjing was changed to Beijing, Jinling was changed to accompany the capital, and the family of Dingguo Gong followed Yongle to Beijing, and Wei Guogong still stayed in Nanjing and was called the Zhongshan Palace.

After Yongle, Renzong, Xuanzong and others regained their trust and favor in Wei Guogong, and of course it was better for Dingguo Gong. It is a pity that there are many characters in the line of Wei Guogong, but Dingguo Gong is a mediocre person, and he only knows that he enjoys the rich lords and rewards of the emperor and the court.

Foolish people and stupid blessings, for some reason, the line of Dingguo Gong has always been the most favored by the emperor, and Wei Guogong is ashamed of himself. Xu Zengshou's life has really been exchanged for more than 200 years of wealth and wealth for future generations, and he is the best of the people.

Due to the relocation of the capital to Beijing, Nanjing's defense was inevitably a little empty, so the imperial court issued an edict that the Zhongshan Wangfu concurrently served as the garrison of the capital, so only the Zhongshan Wangfu had military power.

Zhu Yuanzhang established the ancestral system: eunuchs, relatives, princes and nobles are not allowed to interfere in politics, and military ministers are not allowed to listen to political affairs, so they have the right to participate in national affairs, and only literati are left to govern the country. The Zhongshan Palace, however, was the commander and military general who controlled the army, becoming the only exception to the dynasty.

The Zhongshan Royal Mansion could not help but manage the defense of the south of the Yangtze River, and also took care of the security of this area, and it was also the responsibility of the Zhongshan Royal Mansion to arrest and rob and level the Kou. Therefore, when Guo Zhong heard that someone from the Zhongshan Palace, he was so frightened that he couldn't give up, which was not strange at all.

Moreover, these historical materials flashed in his mind in an instant, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Wouldn't my father be a Jiangyang thief in his early years, would he be afraid that the Zhongshan Palace's mansion would come to the door? Besides, the elegance of Yi Zhong is really not the material for being a thief.

"It's the son, the villain greets you. When the two men in military uniforms saw this, they pretended to be respectful and said, saying "please be safe", but their bodies did not even mean to move.

Besides, he hurriedly smiled: "Don't dare to be, the little prince is summoned, and he will send someone to inform him, why bother to drive a few big brothers, but I am ashamed." ”

"The son is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, and the little prince is also very admired. When the man saw that he was very informed, he was very happy in his heart, and praised him in vain.

"Then let's go, we can't let the little prince wait for a long time. Are you going to Nanjing?" and he asked, anxious to take these people away, and the farther away from his home the better.

"No, it's in the local Old Master Chen's mansion. ”

"Little Lord has arrived in Suzhou?"

"Mr. Guo doesn't know yet, Mr. Chen is also the teacher of the little prince, and he is still in the same family as Mr. Kuang. ”

Besides, hurry up and thank Bumin, he is not tired of being alive, and he does not dare to climb the little prince of the King of Zhongshan to be a fellow disciple. But Chen Musa was surprised that he would be the teacher of the little prince.

After Xu Da's death, he specially gave the three generations of princes of the Xu family, and now he is no longer the prince, and this prince is hereditary. It's just that people are used to calling it, so it's called that, even the provincial government and the prefect.

For example, the Mu family in Yunnan, Shizhen, the ancestor is Mu Ying, just a marquis, because he is the righteous son of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was specially awarded the title of prince after his death, and after that, the Mu family in Yunnan was called Mu Wangfu.

Yunnan was still under the Tiangao Emperor Yuan, and the Mu family became the actual ruler of Yunnan, so that the people of Yunnan only knew the Mu Wangfu and did not know that there was a court. When the holy decree of the imperial court arrived in Yunnan, it was to be replaced by the decree of the prince of Mu Wangfu, and the toasts were willing to obey the order, and they said to the holy decree, and the toasts said it, I don't know what it is.

The imperial historians felt that this matter was an insult to the dignity of the court, and wrote to the emperor to impeach him many times, thinking that the Mu family should be changed to the Marquis' Mansion and should no longer bear the name of King Mu, but the officials in Yunnan stopped doing it, saying that both the Tusi and the people in Yunnan were accustomed to the Mu Wangfu, and they would not be able to guard Yunnan if they were changed to marquis.

The court thought about it again and again, but also felt helpless, and finally could only approve.

Therefore, the Mu family in Yunnan is the Mu Palace, and only when he plays a chapter to the imperial court, he signs it as a marquis.

Speaking of which, this Zhongshan Mansion is even more strange than Mu Wangfu, and what it has done is even better.

The stability of the position of the King of Zhongshan is extraordinary, and even the imperial history does not dare to impeach in case of trouble. Every time the imperial court issued an edict, it was also called the Zhongshan Palace, not the Wei Mansion.

The imperial court also relented, at least acquiesced.

This time, there were only four family members from the Zhongshan Palace, and they came with a sedan chair just to pick up the situation and pass.

The four family members asked him to get on the sedan chair, but they refused, and wanted to hire a sedan chair to go over, but the four family members talked badly, so they coaxed him into the sedan chair and carried him all the way to Chen Musa's house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the pomegranate looking forward to it.
