An unpretentious carriage drove out of the Boundless Palace and headed south under the escort of the black knights. To the south of the Wuya Palace is the Suzaku Gate, and on the left and right are the garrisons of the Praetorian Guard Administration and the guards and pro-army. Then go out of the middle gate, and on the left and right are the central court office and the audience room. To the south of the middle gate is a magnificent square, where the iron-clad wheels are crushed on the ground paved with stone bricks, and the bumps are reduced by half by the spring cushion of the carriage held up by the frame, and then absorbed by the sponge cushion wrapped in deerskin, and the body feels a dense and subtle vibration. This made Duan Yuyou, who was tired and lazy by nature, sleepy, and it was not for Li Shi sitting opposite, it was estimated that she had already fallen into a sweet dream.

Duan Yuyou lifted the curtain of the car, looked out through the glass window, and was immediately shocked by the grandeur of this square, which was almost the size of the entire Boundless Palace. The square is not yet finished, countless craftsmen are busy, and in the middle of the square there is a small building that is surrounded by jagged scaffolding.

"This is the Temple of Heaven, nine hundred and ninety-nine feet long, the same width, about the same size as the front yard of the imperial city outside Tiananmen Square in the Forbidden City. From the inside to the outside, there are three rings of ditches, interspersed with twenty-four waterways. The outermost circle is the gray brick floor, the middle is the bluestone floor, the inner circle is covered by the corridor, the ground is marble, the center of the sacrificial roof is built of white marble and English stone, the whole project costs 200,000 taels of silver, you ...... Will I be said to be extravagant? ”

Sitting opposite Duan Yuyou, Li Xian, who was looking through the papers, said lightly, Duan Yuyou bit his lip, lowered his eyes and said: "The Heavenly King knew three thousand years ago, and three hundred years later, he is an extraordinary person, and everything he does makes sense." The little woman is short-sighted and can only see her own selfishness, how dare she judge what the king has done? ”

Although it was sneering and sarcastic, his attitude was better than Li Xi expected. This girl was insulted by him, but she was still calm, as if nothing had happened, and she came back to "go to work", it is estimated that Yan Sanniang went to work, so Li Xian can do the rest of the work.

"You're half right, I, Li Shi, came to this world, and I was born to take on extraordinary things, which is destined by God, and I can't escape it myself."

Li Xian put down the paperwork and looked directly at Duan Yuyou, whether it was his tone or his gaze, there was a firmness that seemed to be difficult to erase even the vicissitudes of life, which made Duan Yuyou's mind also trance.

Then Li Xian said: "But my responsibility is to let the people of the world judge, measure, and see how far away from the world of Datong is what I do." As a monarch, he is destined to bear infamy, which is also inescapable. ”

said again and again that "there is no escape", Duan Yuyou Bingxue is smart and has already understood.

Sure enough, Li Xi began to extend the topic: "No matter who you are, you are born in the world, and there are many things that cannot be escaped. It's male or female, you can't choose...... This one doesn't count. As a son of man, you can't choose your parents, and as an ethnicity, you can't choose your blood race. There is always a predetermined destiny contained in the bloodline. But this fate is not bound to happiness or suffering, shackles or freedom, nor is it the end of the world, and the future is completely obscured. Fate is just a post on the road, connecting the unknown life little by little to the known distance. Where this path ultimately leads, whether it is heaven or hell, is up to you. ”

Duan Yuyou understood, her pupils lit up, swept away her previous sluggish demeanor, and said with a little excitement: "Then the Heavenly King, which European is this talking about?" Has Jiuxiu Niangniang finished translating? ”

Li scratched his nose, and he also understood that the neurons of brain cells of women, such as emotional animals, are naturally reflexive and amplified to the direction of thinking referred to by words such as "fate", "happiness", and "suffering". According to the book list he set, An Jiuxiu got a lot of books from the Europeans for translation, and Duan Yuyou naturally had some contact, and the words and phrases that were completely inconsistent with the ancient Chinese language should be carried from the Europeans. ..., Li Xian shrugged his shoulders and said: "I want to see, marry me, don't pretend to be stupid, just like what I just said, this is your established fate." ”

Duan Yuyou sighed and said, "The little girl's life is related to the secret that the Heavenly King and Uncle want to tell me." ”

She seemed to be joking, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that she is a little girl or the daughter of the Zhu family?" ”

Wuya Palace is in the northeast corner of Huangpu, the southernmost is Huangpu Wharf, the middle is the Huangpu Lecture Hall in the east, and the Huangpu Academy is in the west.

When he saw Duan Hong, the old man first complained: "Why did you let that Xue Xue kid go to the north, I was trying to ask him to revise "Leviathan", and at the same time pondered how to get along with my Huaxia king, but you asked him to be a meticulous work with that Yinzhen's temperament, and the day he succeeded, it was when he lost his life."

Li Xian said helplessly: "It is he who is interested in the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the operation of imperial power, and wants to take the opportunity to see more deeply, the teacher can rest assured that his safety is no problem." ”

Hearing the master and apprentice casually say such confidential words, Duan Yuyou's apricot eyes widened, and only at this time did he turn his gaze to his niece and granddaughter, and said something that made Duan Yuyou feel that he was really destined: "Yuyou, you listened to your uncle's words five years ago, and you won't be distressed now." ”

Sort of, I recognized Li Shi's words five years ago, that was the fate she took the initiative to choose, but now she has become a pitiful child who goes with the flow. Bitter in his heart, Duan Yuyou angrily asked his uncle what kind of secret he had decided his fate.

Duan Hongshi said: "You are indeed the daughter of the Zhu family. ”

Duan Yu was stunned for a while before he smiled stupidly and said in a low voice: "Sure enough, ......"

The reaction was not quite right, it seemed that this girl had expected it, but Li Xi and Duan Hongshi were not surprised.

Duan Hongshi nodded: "That's right, when you were a child, when you rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find "Journey to the West", the genealogy you saw was real, and your father said that he kept it for others, but it was just a cover-up." ”

Duan Yuyou frowned and shook his head: "But what does this have to do with me having to marry Li Shi?" I'm just a daughter, he married me, and he inherited Zhu Ming's righteousness? This is Huaxia, not the daughter's family and the right to inherit the title."

Duan Hongshi nodded and shook his head: "What you said is true, but the key to the problem is not you, but your father." ”

This really made Duan Yu confused, and Li Xian said, "Your father...... It is the grandson of Zhu Changcheng, the king of Daming Xiang, and it should be counted as a Cizi generation. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di seized the position of Emperor Jianwen, and the lineage of the clan became the Yanwang lineage, named after Zhu Yuanzhang's "Gao Zhan Qi sees you, and Hou Zai Yi is often by." Ci and Yi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou" two crosses for the line.

This Zhu Changcheng was originally the king of Fuqing under King Xiang, and was later named the ninth generation of King Xiang by Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Duan Yuyou temporarily put aside the question of his fate and looked at Duan Hong: "Then uncle, you ......"

Her father Duan Yunchang should have been Zhu Cixu who he saw on the family tree, but what is the relationship between Duan Hongshi and his father?

Duan Hongshi shook his head: "My Duan family is just a servant of King Xiang, loyal and loyal, and bears the bloodline of King Xiang with the head of a family of old and young. ”

A dusty history, from Duan Hongshi's secluded road.

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong captured Xiangyang, the eighth Xiangwang Zhu Yiming was killed, and Zhu Changcheng fled to Jiujiang. In the first year of Hongguang, he was named the ninth king of Xiang. After the fall of Hongguang, King Xiang wanted to go south, but the emperor was chaotic, afraid of following in the footsteps of Longwu and Shaowu, and was used as a tool of authority.

After Yongli and the generals of Daxi joined forces to resist the Qing Dynasty, the situation changed slightly, when Li Dingguo invaded Guangdong, Zhu Changcheng had the intention to help, and wanted to send his son to the Yongli Dynasty to listen to the seal, but was blocked by the Tao. After the fall of Yongli, Zhu Changcheng died of sorrow. In order to cover the identity of Zhu Changcheng, the bloodline of the Zhu family, the Duan family succeeded his son into the Duan family, the son of Zhu Changcheng, that is, Duan Hongshi's elder brother, Duan Yuyou's grandfather. ..., when Zhu Changcheng fled to the Duan family in Changsha, the genealogy was naturally carried with him, and the Duan family recognized Zhu Changcheng's son as the Duan family's "clan recognition into the ancestral hall", and the documents were all available. It's just that I'm afraid that the Qing court will find out, so I keep it secretly, but I was turned over by Duan Yuyou, who was naughty and mischievous when I was a child, and I took a few looks.

Looking at Duan Yuyou, who had a straight gaze and had actually only really understood his identity until now, Duan Hongshi smiled and said, "As for why you have to marry Li Shi, this is up to Li Shi." ”

Li Xian coughed, his eyes swayed from side to side: "My teacher Yu Yinghua has the merit of founding the country, and now that Yinghua has risen, the teacher wants to let King Xiang's lineage continue." But your mother died early, and your father had no intention of continuing the strings, and you were the only woman in the line of King Xiang. The teacher is unwilling to be succeeded by the Zhu family's foreign branches, nor can he be succeeded by the Duan family, so this matter can only fall on you. Inherit the son you gave birth to into the Duan family, and then follow the lineage of King Xiang, and then let the son return to the Duan family after getting a son. The love between Zhu Duan's two families and the succession of King Xiang can be taken care of. ”

Duan Yuyou's eyes were dizzy when he heard this, first the Duan family, then the Zhu family, and then the Duan family, this is ...... This circle can be really big enough. But the uncle's request is also very reasonable, the Duan family covered King Xiang and adopted her grandfather as a son-in-law, and her father Duan Yunchang also occupied the Duan family tree. Now that he wants to separate the lineage of King Xiang, Duan Hongshi wants to leave Duan Yunchang's lineage in the Duan family, which is not too much to ask. And this is also a good story that will leave a name in history in the future, and Duan Hongshi is naturally reluctant to let it go.

But Duan Yuyou still doesn't understand, what does this have to do with Li Shi?

Li Xian spread his hands helplessly: "The teacher is not only the founding hero, but also my teacher, he wants to make this request, how can I refuse?" ”

Duan Yuyou's eyes widened, and Duan Hongshi nodded with a smile: "Our Duan family, we have to find a relationship to climb the God Wang family." You are no longer surnamed Duan, but you can also give us a Li family to our Duan family, hehe, our Duan family, Zhu and Li have inherited the lineage, do you say it is the best choice? ”

Rao is Duan Yuyou is smart, and it took several turns to taste the taste, and his pink cheeks flushed and said: "After saying so much, Uncle Affection is still stuffing me into his arms in a corner."

Duan Hongshi showed a smile of "You're still smart", and said: "Throw away any bloodline, what emperor's family, just ordinary people, one is my only personal disciple, and the other is my favorite daughter in the family, of course I want to match your pair, this is just my old man who has been in the ground for most of the time, and the only wish for the rest of his life." ”

Speaking of this, Duan Yuyou's eyes also had tears in his eyes, and while pretending to say that his uncle had learned Sanniang's five-bird play, how could he live past a hundred years old, and at the same time he secretly aimed at Li Shi. As Duan Hongshi said, throwing away his identity, Li Shi at this time has a calm temperament, which is very different from the kid who jumped out five years ago. Thinking about the various government affairs he dealt with in the government office before, as well as the battlefield battles that he had not seen, he had to be such a husband, how many women in the world would be envied......

The problem is that this guy always doesn't give himself a good face, and he is the emperor after all, and he has to share it with Sanniang, Guan Xuan, An Jiuxiu, and even Pan Bodhisattva.

Thinking of this, his heart twisted, and Duan Yuyou slipped away under the excuse that he wanted to read the book.

When only Li Xi and Duan Hong were left in the room, the two looked at each other for a long time, and Li Xi sighed: "This big circle is really difficult to ......."

Duan Hongshi said: "As long as it can dissolve her heart knot, and ...... These words are also basically true. ”

Li Xian smiled: "Basic...... Teacher, the truth that you are her biological grandfather has been hidden, can you still tell the truth? ”……，
