Yang Cong rectified He Qian, and he was in a good mood, and then, he just waited for the Luming banquet and took the papers, and then he could go to the capital to participate in the test.

There is Lu Ling'er in the capital who is waiting for him, his mind has already flown over, in the last two days of Jinling City, he didn't plan to play, he just stayed in the rented courtyard all day long, thinking about the things in the capital.

However, the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, he didn't want to go out, but someone came to the door.

Early this morning, he was holding a copy of "Notes on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books" there, when the guard at the door suddenly came to report that someone in the Sincerity Bofu asked to see him.

Sincerity?

Liu Bowen!

He naturally knows the story of this big celebrity, and it is rumored that this Liu Bowen knows astronomy, geography, Zhongrenhe, Yin and Yang, gossip, Xiaoqimen, Dunjia, Bogu and the present, and even can calculate the future, which is a rare strange person in the world.

Of course, this Liu Bowen has passed away, and now it is definitely his descendants who inherit the position of Cheng Bo.

What is the matter with this sincere man looking for himself?

Sincerity Bofu came, of course Yang Cong didn't dare not see it, he ordered the heirs of the guards to come in to meet him, and on the other hand, he straightened his clothes and came to the lobby to wait.

After a while, a rather thin old man Shi Shiran walked in and said, "The villain is sincere, and Liu Ge, the steward of the Bofu, has seen Yang Gongzi. ”

The subordinates of ordinary families are almost the same as slaves, and their status is even lower than that of ordinary civilians, but the subordinates of this noble mansion are naturally not among them, Yang Cong did not dare to snub others, he hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "I don't know what happened when Steward Liu came this time?" ”

Liu Ge quickly took out a post from his arms, handed it to him, bowed down and said, "Our lord was very happy to hear that the son was only eight years old, so I wanted to invite the son to the house to talk." ”

What is this?

Yang Cong didn't believe that his talent could alarm the strange man Liu Bowen.

So what is the matter with the sincerity of the uncle, is it impossible for the sincerity of the uncle to recruit himself!

In these years, the princes and gentry are not all the way, and there is no subordinate relationship between the two sides, even if they are sincere, if they do not have the corresponding authority in their bodies, they will not move anyone, let alone solicit gentry.

That's a strange thing.

After Yang Cong politely sent Liu Ge away, he ordered someone to hurry up and invite Zhang Ping to come, he didn't know anything about the situation in Jinling, so he didn't dare to run to the Sincerity Bofu recklessly.

He wants to have a good relationship with Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping also wants to have a good relationship with a bold "nobleman" like him, the two are good friends at this time, Zhang Ping not only actively helped him with things, but also told him his address and a few places he often stayed, so it was very simple for him to find Zhang Ping, and it didn't take long for Zhang Ping to be recruited.

Yang Cong exchanged a few words of greeting with him, and then asked directly: "Brother Zhang, do you know the sincerity of uncle?" ”

Zhang Ping nodded slightly and said: "I have been to the Sincerity Uncle's Mansion, because the current Sincerity Uncle Liu Yu was only renewed for the title in the eleventh year of Jiajing, and the Sincerity Uncle's Mansion was only built last year, and I also helped my friends in the yamen find some craftsmen at that time." However, I haven't seen Uncle Sincerity Liu Yu, and it's just hearsay about him, what's the matter, is Uncle Sincerity making trouble for you? “

Sincerity Uncle Liu Yu turned out to be a renewed title, there is a break before there is a continuation, which means that the sincerity of the line has been broken for several generations, Yang Cong really hasn't heard of this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Do you mean that there are still people in the middle of this sincerity who have not inherited the title?" It's not that they want to trouble me, it's just that someone from Uncle Gang's Mansion sent an invitation, saying that Uncle Cheng wanted to talk to me, and I didn't know him at all, do you know why this Uncle Cheng would look for me? ”

Zhang Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, it was really strange that Liu Yu, who was sincere, took the initiative to find this Yang Gongzi.

He thought about it, and then suddenly said: "I estimate that this matter must have something to do with the Duke of Wei, because you went to the Duke of Wei to hand over the post, and Cheng Cheng Bo and the Duke of Wei both belong to Hongwu Xungui, and the relationship between them is not ordinary." ”

Hongwu Xungui Yang Cong has faintly heard that the Ming Dynasty is mainly divided into two groups, one is Zhu Yuanzhang in the Hongwu years, the folk generally call it Hongwu Xungui, the other is Zhu Di in the Yongle years, the folk generally call Yongle Xungui.

However, he didn't know anything about the relationship between this Hong Wu Xungui, and he couldn't help but ask: "Is there still a faction in this Hong Wu Xungui?" ”

When Zhang Ping heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "How can they still divide into factions, there are only a few Hongwu Xungui left, and the relationship is naturally not ordinary." ”

And this kind of thing?

Yang Cong is not a native of the Ming Dynasty, he is equivalent to a halfway monk and parachuted in, and he has spent most of the past two years studying the "Four Books and Five Classics" and "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences", preparing for the imperial examination, and he has no time to care about anything else, and he really doesn't know much about these things.

He couldn't help but be curious: "Didn't you divide dozens of nobles during the Hongwu period, why are there only a few left?" ”

No matter how ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang is, it is impossible to kill all the dozens of nobles!

Zhang Ping continued to shake his head and sighed: "Young Master Yang, you are not from Jinling, you may not have heard of Hongwu Xungui, we Jinling locals basically know that this Hongwu Xungui is really miserable!" ”

Aren't all nobles enjoying all the glory and wealth, and they are described as miserable, so how miserable is it?

Yang Cong couldn't help but continue to ask: "How miserable are they." ”

Zhang Ping wrenched his fingers and introduced: "The first emperor Hongwu Nian was divided into ten dukes, fifty-two marquises, and three earls, among them, the Duke of Eguo often died in the Spring War, the Duke of South Korea Li Shanchang sat in the party to be punished, the Duke of Song Feng Sheng was given to death, the Duke of Liangguo Lan Yu was punished for his crimes, the Duke of Lelang Pu Ying died in battle, his son sat in the party to cut the knight, and the Duke of Yingguo Fu Youde was given to die. Fifty-two marquis were even more miserable, fifty were killed during the Hongwu period, and finally only Mu Ying, Marquis of Xiping, and Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, were spared because of Yongzhen Yunnan, far away from the center, and Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, was spared because his sister was the concubine of the first emperor Ning. As for the three counts, there is only the family of Sincerity Uncle, and Sincerity Uncle Liu Bowen has already retired bravely, his son has not inherited the title, and his grandson has inherited it for a few years and has been in seclusion, so their line has not suffered a disaster. “

My God, this Zhu Ming royal family is really ruthless, Zhu Yuanzhang sealed sixty-three nobles, and he killed more than fifty, and the rest were almost killed by his son Zhu Di!

Yang Cong secretly calculated, and the rest of this Hong Wuxungui seemed to be the first line of Wei Guogong and the four families of Xiping Hou, Wuding Hou, and Chengyi Bo.

The daughter of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, is the queen of Zhu Di, the sister of Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, is Zhu Yuanzhang's favored Concubine Ning, the Marquis of Xiping, Muying, went to guard Yunnan, and Liu Bowen, the sincerity of Bo, simply went into hiding, and these four families were spared, and the others were almost all clicked!

Ruthless, really ruthless!
