Chapter 20: The Eight Founding Kings
The founding emperor of the Great Qi was Yang Yong, Yang Yong was originally a former Song minister, and later abolished the late Song Emperor and sent people to kill him, and established himself as the emperor, which was the Taizu Wu Emperor of the Qi State.
When a new dynasty is established, of course, many heroes from the dragon will emerge. Yang Yong and the heroes were knighted, allowed to be hereditary, and divided the princes and uncles.
Among them, there are eight top heroes, namely Erli, Chen, Wu, Deng, Zhu, Nian, and Dugu, whose founder was named a prince, and the descendants of later generations were replaced by hereditary princes.
Now that Daqi has lasted for thousands of years, Dugu and Nian, among the eight nobles, have been wiped out because of major crimes, and only six of the remaining eight nobles remain.
Li Yuanba was born in the Ningguo Mansion, one of the two Lis, and is the eldest grandson of Li Qianning, the Duke of Ningguo of this generation.
Zhang Ning is very low-key in Qidu, and the friends he makes are all peddlers, pawns, and common people, and they are basically general friends, Li Yuanba is one of Zhang Ning's few friends, and the two are called brothers.
However, Zhang Ning and Li Yuanba have not seen each other for many years, and when they think of their friend Zhang Ning, they can't help but sigh.
Li Yuanba is a lover, trapped by love, and has gone away to become a monk.
After sighing for a moment, Zhang Ning returned to normal and said to Liu Xiuxiu: "It's not a disaster, Xiuxiu is relieved." ”
"It's not a disaster. Xiuxiu patted her small chest and exhaled.
After coming back to say goodbye to peace, and having something, Zhang Ning said goodbye to the mother and son of the Liu family and returned to his mansion. Although he was out for many days, the inside of the mansion was spotless.
It was because of Yoo so-so-so's cleaning from time to time.
Zhang Ning rummaged through a bag of good tea, prepared to entertain the guests, and then rested in the mansion until the middle of the afternoon.
Ningguo Mansion!
There are eight kings in the founding country, and the descendants are replaced by hereditary princes. The eight major families are respected by the two Lis, and among the two Lis, the Ningguo Mansion is respected.
Because Emperor Taizu Wu rewarded the meritorious heroes and calculated the meritorious deeds, King Ning had the most credit among the founding families of the Ningguo Mansion, and he was the most meritorious hero.
For thousands of years, every generation of the Ningguo Mansion will have a master of the Heavenly Realm, and there are even several when it is strong, and every generation of Great Qi Emperors has also taken Ningguo Gong as his right-hand man, and he has been honored and favored.
Ningguo Mansion is known as the luxurious home of the world.
The architectural layout of the Guogong Mansion naturally does not need to be said, the buildings are all over the field, there are many rare treasures, the children and grandchildren are luxuriant, and the servants are in groups.
Halfway through the afternoon.
The gate of Ning Guogong is open, the gate is vermilion, there is a pair of unicorns standing in front of the door, there is a team of family soldiers guarding in front of the door, and the leader of the team is a master of the realm.
A young man walked out of the door, this young man was extremely handsome, with a slender body, covered with a purple brocade robe, and a golden belt around his waist, and a unicorn jade pendant tied on the right side of the belt.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl chased after her and hurriedly asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
The little girl is very similar to this young man, except that the woman is soft, so the man is handsome and the little girl is beautiful. The little girl is covered with a white shirt, and her lower body is a pink jacket skirt, and she does not use powder on her face.
The young man is Li Yuanba's brother Li Yuanxiong, and the woman is Li Yuanba's sister Li Hussar.
"Little grandfather, third miss. Seeing the two brothers and sisters, the soldiers saluted in unison.
Li Yuanba, Li Yuanxiong, and Li Huqi The father of the three siblings is called Li Jia'an, and he is the eldest son of Li Qianning, the contemporary Duke of Ningguo, so Li Yuanba is the eldest grandson, Li Yuanxiong is the grandson, and Li Huqi is the granddaughter.
Originally, the little grandfather referred to Li Yuanba, but Li Yuanba had been missing for many years, and there were even rumors that Li Yuanba had passed away, so the princess called Li Yuanxiong the little grandfather.
"I'm going to do something, you don't have to come along. "Li Hussar is a little pestering, many people in the public government have a headache for Li Hussar, Li Yuanba, Li Yuanxiong's brothers both like their sister and have a headache for their sister. Today, Li Yuanxiong is going to do a serious thing, and he really doesn't want to bring his sister.
"Is there anything you need to hide from me? Could it be that you have a private tryst with a certain young lady for life?" Li Huqi said suspiciously.
This is exciting news, and the soldiers in front of the door pricked up their ears and probed their brains.
Li Yuanxiong also saw it, and couldn't help glaring at these guys, and the soldiers immediately became honest, lowered their heads but their ears were still pricked, and waited for the following.
"In a month, it will be my grandfather's 100th birthday. The government invites guests and friends, and I am going to invite a very important guest. Li Yuanxiong said helplessly.
This sister is really pestering, if you don't say one or two, I'm afraid that you will be suspicious of gossip, and when the time comes, there will be a tryst between the little grandfather and a certain lady, and there is no way but to explain.
"Just send someone to go, there are many deacons in the mansion, why do you need your little grandfather to go out in person?" Li Hussar continued to say suspiciously, implying that you lied to me.
Li Yuanxiong saw that his sister was really pestering, and if he didn't say it today, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to go out, so he looked left and right, then pulled his sister's sleeve and came to a secluded corner, and said in a deep voice: "Do you remember the eve of the eldest brother running away from home?"
"Remember, the eldest brother left us alone. Li Huqi thought of his eldest brother, his eyes turned red, and tears were rolling.
"My eldest brother told me privately that if something happened, he would go to someone. No matter how big the matter is, as long as it is a domestic matter in Daqi, there are very few things that he can't solve. If there is any important matter in the house, such as if I marry you, I will invite him to come and be a guest. The eldest brother confessed, of course, I can't forget. It's my grandfather's 100th birthday in January, and I'm going to invite him over in person. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yuanxiong took out a gilded invitation from his sleeve to show that his words were true.
"Why are you marrying me?" Li Huqi glanced at Li Yuanxiong, Xia Fei's cheeks were very shy. However, it also diluted a lot of sadness, she pulled up her sleeves and wiped the tears in her eyes, and then asked curiously: "Who is this? How can the eldest brother have such a big breath, as long as there are few things that he can't solve?"
"I haven't met him, but I've inquired privately. This person's surname is Zhang's single name Ning, and his family lives in the No. 8 house of Liujia Lane, Yiyang District, and he is in his early twenties this year, and he has been a strong man for generations. ”
Li Yuanxiong said, his expression was also skeptical.
The eldest brother's cowhide blew the earth-shattering sound, and I thought that person was either an important minister of the court, a high-ranking power, or a hermit in the rivers and lakes, and cultivated to the sky.
But the person who blew the cowhide and shook the sky was actually such a young man. If it weren't for the fact that this matter was something that the eldest brother repeatedly told him to explain before leaving, he would have abandoned it a long time ago.
"Big brother must be bragging. Li Huqi crossed his hands on his waist, and he didn't believe it. Then he said: "I'm going to see what kind of person this person who can't do anything in Daqi is who is." ”
"Where is the next post where is my daughter's house to follow. Li Yuanxiong said helplessly.
"I'm going. Li Huqi crossed his hands on his hips, with an expression on his face that if you don't take me there, I will cry to you.
"Okay, I'm really scared of you. Li Yuanxiong said helplessly.
