Since the news of Liu Jun's ascension to the yellow robe in Beijing and his ascension to the throne and proclamation as emperor has been transmitted back to Eastern Hubei, Eastern Hubei has also become a land of dragon prosperity. Decades ago, Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty was dying, had no heirs, and finally selected the son of King Xing of Hubei to enter Beijing to inherit the throne, and Hubei therefore produced a Jiajing Emperor.

Emperor Jiajing later promoted Anlu Prefecture to Chengtianfu and designated it as the capital of Xingdu.

Many Hubei officials gained power because of this, and most of the big families such as Mei, Li and Liu in Macheng flourished at that time. And now, there is another emperor in Eastern Hubei.

The Liu family of the Jinghu Ding clan flew out of a real dragon.

Many people think it's incredible, this dragon man is just the son of an old Xiucai in the early years, a little martial artist. Later, he became Mei Zhihuan's protégé, and then he actually became the descendant of the Liu family. Everyone watched this young son of the Liu family, build a township army, run civilian training, lead troops to suppress bandits, raise troops to recruit prisoners, guerrilla generals, staff generals, deputy generals, and chief military officers, and has been admitted, governors, supervisors, and even marquis and dukes, until he was crowned the king of the county, and finally the king of Han, and then became the son of Longhan.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Liu Jiye became the founder of the Longhan Dynasty, and Macheng was naturally the land of Longxing.

Not to mention that Liu Laoxiucai has now become the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it is Liu Jinwu back then, and now he has also become the Duke of Qi. The families of Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng, who brought Liu Jun back then, are naturally also very bright. Although Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng have passed away, both of them have also been posthumously presented as Yan Guogong and Song Guogong.

Li Changgeng's nephew, Li Chunjiang, a friend of Liu Jiye, is now the governor of Sanjiang and the founder of Taiping. Mei Zhihuan's daughter was also named Linjiang Bo. This is also the second countess of the new dynasty after Qin Liangyu was crowned marquis, not Mrs. Feng, but directly named Marquis, which is unprecedented in ancient times. The difference of the Longhan Dynasty is evident everywhere.

The people of Eastern Hubei are happy that their hometown has produced a true dragon son, but some people are not happy.

Zhu Changjun, the king of Andong County in Qizhou, was very unhappy, or rather very afraid.

Zhu Changjun is the county king of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Jiye is now the usurper of the Ming throne. In the Ming Dynasty, there were many county kings like Zhu Changjun, more than 270 years of the Ming Dynasty, and now, there are more than 30 princes alone, and more than 100 county kings, not to mention generals such as various towns and auxiliary countries.

Although there are many princes and kings of the clan. But as a county king, Zhu Changjun can still enjoy a lot of treatment. In the local area, although they do not interfere in government affairs and military, they can feel at ease and be a rich prince without any pressure.

In the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 60 princes, of which more than a dozen were abolished due to incidents, and some of them were removed from the seal. The king of the county has sealed more than 600 before and after.

The prince's rice is ten thousand stones, and the king of the county also has two thousand stones.

And in addition to rice, there are also various gifts such as silver, brocade, silk, yarn, Luo, silk, and cloth. There are even salt and tea introductions. In addition, there are many fields to be given.

Zhu Changjun is just a county king, he is from the Chengzu branch, in terms of seniority, or the uncle of Emperor Tianqi and Chongzhen. The fief is in Qizhou. It can be regarded as a wealthy party, and the various fields under his name and the contributions he has received over the years add up to tens of thousands of hectares. Although it is not as good as those princes. There are tens of thousands of hectares or even more at every turn, but there are definitely a lot of thousands of hectares. In addition, he also obtained a lot of salt tea monopoly rights, and Zhu Changjun was very rich.

In the past. He is also very happy with his life.

But he knows very well the source of all this, all because he is the county king of the Ming Dynasty. And once he loses this title, his great wealth will be lost.

When Liu Jun had just started to run a township soldier, Zhu Changjun hadn't taken this young man seriously. Later, Liu Jun became the inspector of Hutou Pass, and he once watched Liu Jun save his niece, and rewarded Liu Jun with an opportunity to do errands for him, crack down on smuggled salt dealers for him, and then share some benefits for him.

Who would have imagined that the kid who worked hard for him for part of the salt benefits of a township back then has now become the emperor and usurped the great future of their Zhu family.

Although it was said that after Liu Jun became emperor, he once announced that he would treat the descendants of the Zhu family well, but Zhu Changwei did not believe it.

Now his title of King of Andong County has been cut off, and he has only become a flat-headed commoner, a royal family of the former dynasty, which makes him feel uneasy.

Fortunately, no one has touched him yet.

This is thanks to the fact that he has a good brother-in-law, Li Shuchu, the current governor of the Central Plains, who is his brother-in-law. At that time, Li Shuchu was the son-in-law of their palace, and the palace fully supported him in studying for the imperial examination. Later, Li Shu became a junior high school jinshi, moved out of the house, and took his family to work as an official outside for many years.

Later, he offended people in the DPRK and returned to his hometown, unexpectedly because his niece and Liu Jun knew each other. Later, after Liu Jiye developed, he also pulled Li Shuchu, and since then Li Shuchu's official fortune has developed, and he has been following Liu Jun closely over the years, from the governor of Henan to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to the governor of Sanjiang, and then to the current governor of the Central Plains, he has always been Liu Jiye's humerus minister.

If it weren't for his brother-in-law Liu Jiye's confidants, how could he, the former dynasty clan, be so stable.

But people have no long-term worries, and there must be near-term worries. Even if there is a brother-in-law who is the governor of the new dynasty, he will not be able to save a lifetime if he is guaranteed for a while. As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

He, a former dynasty clan, has millions of family assets and thousands of acres of fertile land in his hands, and he doesn't know how many people are staring at him, wanting to pounce on him at any time and take a bite.

Hearing that Liu Jiye had named Miss Mei a countess, he couldn't help but make up his mind.

Liu Jiye is still very nostalgic, he has also heard a lot of things about the Miss Mei family, knows that Mei Zhihuan is a very special person, and has raised a very special daughter, it is said that in the early years, Miss Mei has always dressed as a man, and led the troops to fight under Liu Jiye, she has a bit of a heroic style, and even Qin Liangyu praised it back then.

I heard that if it weren't for Mei Zhihuan's sudden death, Miss Mei would have returned to her hometown to guard her filial piety, maybe Miss Mei might also be the chief military officer of a town in the new dynasty, and she would have been crowned a marquis this time.

There is also a rumor that Miss Mei actually had a private relationship with Liu Jiye back then, just because when they met, Liu Jun had already married. There are even rumors that when Miss Mei's filial piety period expires, she will definitely enter the palace.

Zhu Changjun was skeptical of this statement.

But he thought of his predicament, he thought of his niece. When her niece was captured by bandits, she was fortunately rescued by Liu Jiye. Later, his niece was really fascinated by Liu Jiye for a while, and he was against it at that time. At that time, Liu Jiye didn't seem to accept his niece too actively, and in the end, the two were gone.

But a few years have passed, and his niece has reached the age of marriage early, but he has never been in love, and he used to estimate that it may still be related to Liu Jiye.

Now that I think about it, that's a good thing.

If his niece can renew her old relationship with Liu Jiye, then she will have double insurance.

After breakfast, Zhu Changjun looked at his wife, "The weather is getting warmer, has Shi Niang gone out to play?" ”

"Nope." The wife replied, "Shi Niang is not young anymore, and now that her in-laws are not in love, how can she still show her face outside at will." ”

"It's not a matter of being bored at home every day, I know that Shi Niang and Lin Jiangbo used to have a good relationship, and now the weather is good, it is better to send a car to send him to Macheng to see Miss Mei."

"I heard that the new emperor made Miss Zhou an earl, I can't believe it, women can also be knighted, this new dynasty is really different everywhere. You said, this Mr. Mei's son has not been knighted, but his daughter has been knighted, if you want me to say, it must be as rumored that this Miss Mei must have had something with the new emperor. "Zhang, who is no longer the princess of the county, is almost fifty years old, but she is still dressed up very gracefully and richly, with a wig and a flower on it.

"Don't talk nonsense, the new emperor is also something you can talk about? Don't understand what it means to be in trouble? We are not as good as we were at the beginning, now the world is the Longhan Dynasty, and we are just the clans of the previous dynasty. No matter what, you have to be a man with your tail between your legs. ”

"I know, it's not like there's no outsider at home. You said this, the good Ming Dynasty Zhu family in the world, how could it change the dynasty in a blink of an eye? really knows people and knows their faces, but they don't know their hearts, before everyone in the world praised Liu Jiye for his loyalty and filial piety, but who knew that he was Cao Cao Wang Mang. ”

"Say a few words, don't put yourself in it, now you have to burn incense and worship the Buddha." Although Zhu Changjun is a descendant of the Zhu family, he does not have the slightest idea of restoring the kingdom to King Qin.

These descendants of the clan have been confined to local fiefdoms from generation to generation for many years, and they must not leave the domain lightly for the rest of their lives, let alone entering Beijing, even if they leave the city, they may be reprimanded. For hundreds of years, the imperial court has been guarding them like thieves, and they are not allowed to meddle in the slightest local affairs.

To tell the truth, although the imperial court provides him with a lot of money every year, he really has no feelings for the imperial court. As for saying that now that the country is dead, those privileges will also be lost, and there is no unwillingness in my heart, but what is the use of being unbearable. Let's just say that this Qizhou, here is Liu Jiye's base camp, the land of Longxing, not only there are many elite soldiers and horses stationed in the locality, but even many landlords and squires in eastern Hubei are actually on Liu Jiye's side.

Zhu Changjun didn't dare to have the slightest thought like that, and he didn't dare to think about it.

The wife chattered for a while, then went to her niece's yard.

In the courtyard of the West Wing, Li Zhen was playing chess with the maid on the stone table under the peach tree that had already opened.

Another maid who was making tea saw her come in and hurriedly shouted, "Girl, the princess of the county is here." ”

"Why don't you change your words, you will be called Mrs. in the future, and you are not allowed to call the princess of the county again."

Li Zhen got up and greeted her, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”

"It's such a nice day, you're sitting here in a daze." Zhang took Li Zhen's hand, "I plan to go to Nengren Temple in Macheng tomorrow to make incense, I know that you have a good relationship with Miss Mei in Qiligang, Macheng, so I asked you if you would like to go with me, and by the way, you can also visit Miss Mei." ”

"Okay, it's a bit boring to stay at home all day." Li Zhen smiled happily when she heard this. "And I really haven't seen Sister Mei for a long time." (To be continued.) )
