Xu Jingchang had a dream, dreaming that he had become a fifteen-year-old boy with the same name and surname, and he was born illustrious, after being a nobleman, his grandfather was called Xu Da, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Wei, posthumously crowned the king of Zhongshan, and his father was called Xu Zengshou.

There is also an aunt who is married to Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

In other words, Zhu Di is his uncle!

This identity is a little bit powerful, and then, everything becomes a reality......

In July, Jinling City was shrouded in a summer heat, Xu Jingchang was wearing a plain white filial piety dress, sitting on the stone bench of the grape trellis, looking around at the small garden with an acre of land, the pride of the Xu Mansion was self-evident.

It's just that this Xuanhe's general, but at this moment, it has reached the juncture of life and death, even the Hongwu Dynasty, where countless nobles and nobles have landed, has never been so embarrassed.

The past four years have been the four years of the Battle of Jingjing.

Zhu Di defeated the strong with the weak and overturned his nephew Zhu Yunwen, and just a few days ago, the Malaysian Golden Knife entered Yingtian.

And Xu Jingchang's father, Xu Zengshou, continued to provide information to his brother-in-law Zhu Di, and made great contributions, and he was about to reap the fruits of victory, but he fell on the eve of success and was killed by Zhu Yunwen.

This is also the reason why Xu Jingchang was wearing filial piety clothes at this time.

His eldest uncle, Xu Huizu, who inherited the title of Duke of Wei, chose to be loyal to Emperor Jianwen and became the loser of the Battle of Jingjing.

Those who bet right are dead, and those who bet wrong are still alive, but they are almost dead.

Almost overnight, the two pillars that supported the courtyard of the Xu family collapsed.

The huge Xu family, the burden of thousands of catties, all fell on Xu Jingchang's head.

His history is not very good, but he vaguely remembers that the Xu family seems to be a double family, but how he got through the difficulties, he doesn't know at all.

However, one thing is certain, my aunt Queen Xu must have made great efforts...... Why don't you write a letter to your aunt, as the only elder who still has the final say, pull the little nephew a hand!

Or go directly to your uncle Zhu Di and tell him that my father is dead, you can't ignore it......

Xu Jingchang searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while. Suddenly, a one-eyed old man hurried in and bowed.

His name is Xu Yi, when Hongwu was five years old, he followed Xu Da to fight in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, lost an eye, and then in Xu's mansion, for decades, he served three generations, and he has been doing his best, up and down, and respects him very much.

"Childe, His Royal Highness the King of Han, and Wang Ning of the Horse are visiting."

Xu Jingchang frowned slightly, His Royal Highness the King of Han is Zhu Di's second son Zhu Gaoxu, he is brave and martial, quite similar to Zhu Di. In the Battle of Jingjing, he made great contributions, Zhu Di ascended the throne, and was crowned King of Han by Zhu Gaoxu. Among the noble military ministers, he is quite prestigious, and he is still Xu Jingchang's cousin.

At present, there are a lot of things in the court, and his sudden visit is definitely not as simple as describing his family.

Xu Jingchang thought about it, but he went out to greet him, and after walking a few steps, he heard a loud and rich voice, and people took the initiative to come in, not thinking that he was an outsider.

"Brother Xian, Brother Xian?"

While speaking, a majestic young man walked in, in his early twenties, powerful and majestic, about Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty. Behind him, followed by a polite middle-aged man, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine named Wang Ning.

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly rushed to Xu Jingchang's approach, reached out and grabbed Xu Jingchang's arm, looked at it carefully, and then asked warmly: "I accompanied you to bury your uncle a few days ago, I heard that you are sick when you come back, are you okay?" ”

Xu Jingchang nodded slightly, he was not sick, he had crossed over, of course, this could never be said.

"Thank you for your care, it's a lot better." Xu Jingchang greeted the two people, let them into the living room, and sat down as guests.

Zhu Gaoxu took the initiative to say: "Virtuous brother, Jing is just done, there are thousands of things, my father is also busy, my uncle's funeral is a little hasty, I will tell my father when I look back, find an opportunity to re-bury at a high level, my uncle even lost his life for us, when I think of this, I don't want to go!" ”

Xu Zengshou was killed by Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di was too busy, it was indeed Zhu Gaochu who helped with the burial, very attentive, Xu Jingchang was still quite grateful to Zhu Gaoxu at that time, and he couldn't wait to obey His Royal Highness's brother and serve the dogs and horses.

"Your Highness, I am grateful." Xu Jingchang said words of thanks, but his thoughts were different, after all, he was not the simple teenager he was a few days ago.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't notice it, but said happily: "Brother Xian, our two families have always had the best relationship, and between you and me, we are almost like brothers, and we have nothing to talk about." To tell you the truth, my father once told me to work hard, after all, my eldest brother is not in good health, and he is weak and pedantic, which is really ...... Not suitable for inheritance. Sooner or later, this country will fall on my shoulders. ”

You?

Xu Jingchang was stunned, although my history is not very good, but I also know that the big fat man has the last laugh! And how can the emperor's promises be taken seriously?

It can be seen that Zhu Gaoxu's brain is indeed not very good.

"Congratulations, Your Highness." Xu Jingchang is not salty or indifferent.

Zhu Gaoxu was full of confidence, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, since this is the case, I have prepared a note here, and I want to invite the big guys to jointly play the father and emperor together, and ask for the early establishment of the prince, you can also write your name." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu glanced to the side, and Wang Ning immediately took out a note and put it in front of Xu Jingchang with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han is right, the big guys mean this when it comes to pushing the boat down the river." Wang Ning grinned, as if he was coaxing a child.

Xu Jingchang was a human being in two lives, how could he be so easy to be fooled, and he wrote his name, in black and white, so it was not clear.

He frowned, thinking about a way to refuse, "Your Highness, I think whoever is the prince is a private matter of the heavenly family, Your Majesty just said a word, there is no need to be so troublesome, between your father and son, just be open and honest." ”

Xu Jingchang's tone was sincere, but he also pushed it cleanly. Handle the affairs of your father and son by yourself, don't get involved with me. If you can't settle your father, that's your incompetence!

Zhu Gaoxu almost choked to death, are you really stupid or fake stupid? If I can tell my father directly, do I need to make such a big move?

He was so angry that he was speechless, his eyes widened, and he kept sweeping Wang Ning who came with him.

When Wang Ning saw it, he hurriedly persuaded: "The prince is not only a family matter, but also a national matter, as a courtier, he can also advise, His Royal Highness the King of Han has both ability and political integrity, and is admired by everyone, so he is the most suitable candidate." ”

Xu Jingchang understood more and more that these two people just wanted to coerce themselves and help Zhu Gaoxu wave his flag and shout.

It's a pity, why are you the opponent of Zhu Dapang, that person was Di Ge Lao in his previous life!

In any case, you can't get mixed with them.

Xu Jingchang simply said: "Wang Yuma, it turns out that you are talking about state affairs!" When I was young, my father had just passed away again, and I was so sad that I really couldn't take care of state affairs, and I couldn't help it. ”

Zhu Gaoxu only felt that his head was buzzing, he had contacted so many people, and none of them were as difficult as Xu Jingchang.

"Brother Xian, you asked me to find Your Majesty for family affairs, and you don't care about state affairs, what are you going to do?" Zhu Gaoxu's voice was raised.

Xu Jingchang said calmly: "I just lost my father, I am upset, my mind is dizzy, I really can't understand anything, and I hope that His Royal Highness will raise his noble hand." I plan to mourn my father for three years and study behind closed doors. Three years later, I'll be eighteen years old, and I know more things, maybe I can get involved in one or two. ”

"No way!"

Zhu Gaochu is really anxious, Jing Nan has just succeeded, the generals are all born and died with him, and his words are the most effective, the eldest brother Zhu Gaochi is still looking after the family in Beiping, and even the queen mother has not entered Beijing.

God-given opportunity, the advantage is mine!

As long as he coerced the ministers and let Zhu Di loosen his mouth, he would be the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

After three years, the daylilies are cold.

Wang Ning was also so anxious that he was sweating, why did this kid be like a loach and slip without leaving his hands?

He said eagerly: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is deeply loved by His Majesty, and being the crown prince is just a boat pushing down the river, how can there be such trouble?" The Xu family is the head of the founding of the country, and he is a real relative of the King of Han, so he should stand up and shout, and the work of this decision will be in hand. What's more, His Royal Highness the King of Han and the Marquis of Wuyang have a deep relationship, and they cried bitterly at the funeral, and the big guys saw it in their eyes. ”

Wuyang Hou was posthumously presented to Xu Zengshou by Zhu Di, and Wang Ning was using his father to press Xu Jingchang.

However, Xu Jingchang didn't eat this set at all, he said calmly: "His Royal Highness the King of Han and I are relatives, but why not His Highness?" is to let him preside over his father's funeral, and he will not be lazy if he thinks about it. They are all the same relatives, how can they favor one over the other? ”

Even Wang Ning doesn't know what to say now, this kid doesn't eat hard and soft, and he doesn't know how to be grateful, but what should I do?

Zhu Gaoxu stared at Xu Jingchang, gritted his teeth, he thought that Xu Jingchang would be easy to get on the road, but he didn't expect this kid to be at the mercy of him. There is no choice but to come up with something real.

"Brother Xian, my father will soon issue a decree to let you inherit your uncle's Marquis of Wuyang, just a mere marquis, where is worthy of a virtuous brother. I plan to do you a favor, as long as you sign your name and are willing to represent the Xu family and support me as the prince, I will make you a hereditary prince. Zhu Gaoxu said confidently: "Xu Huizu is loyal to Zhu Yunwen, he wanted to arrest me at the beginning, and led the troops several times to oppose his father, since he wants to follow Zhu Yunwen, then he will die together, and no one can save him." ”

"Not only him, but also his sons, also have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, when the time comes, the title of Duke of Wei will naturally belong to the virtuous brother, and the huge Xu family is also the virtuous brother, as long as you nod, I will do it immediately, and I will not delay a little time." Zhu Gaoxu said triumphantly, he felt that Xu Jingchang would definitely agree.

But when these words heard Xu Jingchang's ears, they were simply ridiculous and smelly.

If it was Xu Jingchang who just shirked and dodged before, but at this moment, he was furious, not to mention anything else, just let him nod his head and harm Xu Huizu and his son, it would be impossible.

mutilating relatives and seizing power, even if he allows himself to inherit the position of Duke of Wei, is it possible to sit firmly?

After all, Zhu Di snatched his nephew's dragon chair, and he had to use the name of Qingjun's side. If he really listened to Zhu Gaoxu's words, the Xu family would kill each other, and the news would spread, would he still be a man?

Especially when my aunt is still here, she will deal with her brother and nephew, if she provokes her aunt's monstrous anger, then she will be really dangerous.

Zhu Gaoxu, this guy, will only come up with bad ideas, no matter what, he can't get involved with him.

Xu Jingchang suddenly stood up and said: "Uncle's life and death are all in the thoughts of His Majesty, and I have nothing to say." But I also ask Your Highness not to forget that Uncle is also the elder brother of the Queen Mother, and his children, like me, are your cousins! Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, whose roots are you going to remove? ”

How dare this kid yell at himself?

Zhu Gaoxu was in a trance for a while, as if he couldn't believe his ears, who gave you the guts?

"Xu Jingchang, what do you mean?"

Xu Jingchang said coldly: "It's not interesting, I just want to advise His Highness: Please be kind, please be kind!" ”
