Because Zhu Hongsan was going to rush back to Nanjing to organize the Northern Expedition, he was expected to stay in Wuchang for only five days. These five days were full of arrangements every day, and the first day was to meet with some of the remaining clan representatives in Wuchang.

Because Huguang is the land of fish and rice, 44 vassal kings have been enshrined in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, becoming one of the regions with the most vassal kings at that time, second only to Henan. The most famous of these vassal kings in Huguang is Zhu Zhen, the first generation of Chu King Zhu Hongsan's ancestor, the king of Chu himself gave birth to ten sons, and the tenth son, Zhu Mengju, the king of Jiangxia County, is the second ancestor of Zhu Hongsan, and then Zhu Hongsan passed on a total of 11 generations, and the population reached tens of thousands.

This is still in the Ministry of Rites There are degree documents, that is, the official archives, those county lords and township lords who married have not been counted, if all of them are counted, I am afraid that there will be no less than 100,000 people in total.

But fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong cleaned up the portal for Zhu Hongsan, in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong broke through Wuchang, the last Chu king Zhu Huakui and his descendants were thrown into the Yangtze River by Zhang Xianzhong, and other clans were also unlucky, the entire Huguang clan was killed three-quarters, and the rest fled into the deep mountains and old forests.

However, the suffering of these clans did not end, and then Liu Siyi, the governor of Huguang, retreated to Wuchang and threw these clan masters to the Qing army again. After a few tosses like this, the number of remaining sects is less than a hundred. However, the Ming Dynasty clan still has a lot of backbone, although they know that they will die, but not many surrender to the Qing army.

Now the closest relationship between Zhu Hongsan in Wuchang City is the auxiliary general Zhu Hongyan, this guy's grandfather and Zhu Hongsan's grandfather are cousins, they are all from the seventh generation of Jiangxia County King Zhu Huayan, but Zhu Hongyan's ancestors are Zhu Huayan's second son, and Zhu Hongsan's ancestors are concubines, so Zhu Hongyan has always inherited the position of auxiliary general, and there are dozens of acres of good land outside Wuchang City, and his family's life was far stronger than Zhu Hongsan.

It can also be seen from the name that Zhu Hongsan and his father did not have the money to bribe the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so the name can only be replaced by a random number. And Zhu Hongbaan's branch has a prosperous life, and the names are naturally all written characters, although they are not good words, but they are also stronger than Zhu Hongsan's.

When Zhu Hongsan's grandfather was still alive, he still had contact with Zhu Hongsan's family, but when the older generation died, their feelings naturally faded, and by Zhu Hongsan's father, the two families were no longer in contact. As for Zhu Hongsan's father who crossed over, he naturally had no impression of this relative at all.

Zhu Hongyan knelt in front of Zhu Hongsan, respectful on the surface but scolded in his heart: It's really unreasonable, this guy was poor and asked for food, why did it take his turn to sit as emperor?

Although he is not satisfied in his heart, there is no way that the situation is stronger than others, Zhu Hongsan is now the emperor, and an unhappy person can make you die and the clan be destroyed.

"Brother Chu Fan Jiangxia County Wang Department Auxiliary General Zhu Hongyan, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Hongsan saw this forty-year-old cousin kneeling in front of him, he didn't know either, but there was no way, the clan still had to win over, so Zhu Hongsan said softly: "Cousin, please get up!" ”

"Cousin, I have been the only seedling for three generations, and now the closest brother to me is you!"

Zhu Hongyan was ecstatic when he heard the emperor say this, he knew that the emperor's third prince inherited the Chu Domain, and he had no hope at all, but the king of Jiangxia County was still empty, if he could please the emperor, then the king of Jiangxia County was not his own?

"Brother Huang, now the Chu Domain is messy, fortunately, His Majesty has stepped forward, so it has not made the Chu Domain extinct, but the King of Jiangxia County heard that he was missing, which really made the younger brother sad!"

Zhu Hongsan heard Zhu Hongyan say this, and knew that this guy wanted to inherit the king of Jiangxia, but in fact, it was nothing to give him the title of county king, but what if the other feudal domains came to find him after giving it to him? Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but feel a little unpleasant.

Zhu Hongyan didn't know that the emperor was unhappy, and when he saw that the emperor didn't speak, he thought that the emperor was pondering. You must know that the king of Jiangxia County is not still alive in this branch, who knows in which ravine there is a clan closer to him than Zhu Hongyan's bloodline.

In order to show the prosperity of his children and grandchildren today, Zhu Hongyan brought over all his descendants and unmarried daughters, a total of eighteen people, and he was afraid that the emperor would not give him a knighthood, and he was ready to win by quantity.

"Your Majesty, there are many disciples and grandchildren, if they don't have the title, how will they live in the future!" After Zhu Hongyan finished speaking, he cried bitterly in front of Zhu Hongsan, and his eighteen children also began to cry.

But this kind of strategy is useless in front of Zhu Hongsan at all, not to mention that you cry with your children, even if you hang Zhu Hongsan with your children without blinking.

Zhu Hongsan was hurt by these people crying, and he was about to order Jinyi Wei to beat these guys out, but when he looked up, he happened to see a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl at the end of the crowd, who was pretending to cry at first glance, peeking at himself with his eyes while howling, and found that he immediately covered her face with her sleeves, and then pretended to cry.

Zhu Hongsan shouted: "Zhu Hongyan, don't fucking cry, I'm crying to get out of here!" ”

Hearing that the emperor was angry, Zhu Hongyan didn't dare to cry anymore. When the gang stopped crying, Zhu Hongsan pointed to the little girl at the end and asked, "Zhu Hongyan, who is that?" ”

Zhu Hongyan looked at what the emperor was pointing at, and hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, that is the youngest daughter of the younger brother, who just turned fourteen years old this year!" ”

It turned out to be Zhu Hongyan's daughter, who looks good, and looks very similar to a star commonly known as "bun face" in later generations, the most important thing is that this girl is only fourteen years old, it is when she is young, and there is a vitality between her eyebrows.

Zhu Hongsan is Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today, although he is only middle-aged, but he is almost eighty years old in his previous life. When he first crossed over, Zhu Hongsan liked Sister Yu very much, but as he grew older, he liked Lori more and more in recent years.

The daughter of Zhu Hengshu, the king of Jingjiang, who was obtained in Guizhou, made Zhu Hongsan love it, and he slept every day for a few months, and now he is a little moved when he sees Zhu Hongyan's daughter.

Zhu Hongsan thought about how to get this little girl, and then pretended to be angry and said, "Your father and brother were crying bitterly just now, why are you pretending to cry?" ”

That little girl was only fourteen years old, and she used to go out of the door without stepping out, but when she saw this kind of scene, she was so frightened that she cried out loud when Zhu Hongsan said a word, but this time she was really crying.

Zhu Hongyan is also very worried, when he came just now, he told his children that he must not show his flaws, and now this dead girl has been arrested by the emperor, what can I do?

"Your Majesty, the little girl is young...

Zhu Hongyan was just about to explain, but Zhu Hongsan said directly: "Okay! Don't say it, your daughter is very disrespectful, stay in the palace today, and be taught by me personally! As for you, Zhu Hongyan, just attack the king of Jiangxia County! ”

Zhu Hongyan was dumbfounded when he heard the emperor say this, they are all adults, who doesn't know who! Stay in the palace to teach? It's not like sleeping with the emperor yet! This daughter of mine is the emperor's niece according to her seniority, and isn't it incest for her uncle to sleep with her niece?

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's Daming law, the same surname cannot be married, but cousins are not within this limit. Therefore, it is very common for the Ming Dynasty to marry relatives, and it is also very recommended by the ruling class, and the parents of many great literati in the Ming Dynasty are cousins, but this cousin is not married. In fact, according to the blood lineage, Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyan have already come out of the five suits, and they can get married in later generations, but this is the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Hongsan is an uncle, but he wants to force his niece, this is a real incest scandal!

Zhu Hongyan doesn't know Zhu Hongsan very well, in fact, there are already many cousins and cousins in Zhu Hongsan's harem. Not only that, but two of the grandmothers entered Zhu Hongsan's harem, that is, the two concubines of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, and one of them was also made out by Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongyan didn't expect Zhu Hongsan to be so shameless, just about to speak, who knew that Zhu Hongsan waved his hand directly, and the brocade guards outside the door drove out all the Zhu Hongyan family, leaving only the little girl alone.

When the little girl saw her father and brother being kicked out, she cried, "Daddy, don't leave the embroidery girl!" ”

Zhu Hongyan was sad to see his daughter crying, but thinking that he was already the king of the county, he turned his head ruthlessly and ignored it, followed Jinyiwei out of the palace, and sold his daughter to Zhu Hongsan.

The Jinyi guards in the main hall knew that the emperor was going to do something immoral next, so they went out and stood outside the door, leaving only Li Chengen and a few little eunuchs in the main hall.

Zhu Xiuniang saw that her father and brother were going out, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, looking at Zhu Hongsan like a frightened rabbit.

Zhu Hongsan stepped down from the dragon chair, came to Zhu Xiuniang's side, and looked at the little girl in detail.

Zhu Hongyan has a good family background, this little girl doesn't seem to have suffered much, she is only fourteen years old, and her figure has begun to develop, and her chest is bulging like two pigeon eggs. Zhu Xiuniang is about one meter four, less than one meter five, and she doesn't know where to put her little hands, so she has to fiddle with the handkerchief in her hand.

"What's your name?"

Zhu Xiuniang didn't dare to look up, only to see a pair of bright yellow dragon boots coming to her, Zhu Xiuniang replied in a low voice: "The slave family is called Zhu Xiuniang!" ”

"Zhu Xiuniang, not bad! Do you know who I am? ”

"Know. Know! You are the emperor and the uncle of the slave family! ”

"It's good to know, do you know why I left you?"

Zhu Xiuniang heard the emperor say this, and quickly knelt down: "The slave family knows that it is wrong, the slave family is not pretending to cry!" ”

Zhu Hongsan grabbed Zhu Xiuniang's little hand and gently pulled her up: "I didn't leave you because of this, but because I found out that you had a disease!" I ask you, do you have pain in your lower abdomen when the monthly geranium comes? ”

Zhu Xiuniang's face turned red when she heard the emperor ask about her daughter's family, and Zhu Hongsan continued: "Don't be shy, Xiuniang is your uncle, I won't harm you, you answer me!" ”

Zhu Xiuniang blushed and nodded, and Zhu Hongsan said: "That's right, I found out that you are sick, so I left you to check your body!" ”
