A knife in love

Chapter 3401

When Murong Danyan said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "It is said that the husbands of the implicated women with nine surnames include Jiang, Tang, Hu, Xu, Shi, Ji, Pan, Lu, Fang, Zhang, The twelve surnames of Wang and Wu, together with the nine surnames, are called nine surnames and twelve households. These 21 surnames have lived on the boat for generations, and have suffered from the eyes of the world, bullying and government oppression. It can be said that life is worse than life. After more than a hundred years, the grievances of the 21 clan members have become more and more serious. If the world changes drastically one day, I'm afraid they will not be peaceful."

After listening to Murong Danyan's words, Li Qiufeng felt startled and uncertain, thinking to himself that I was working as an errand in Jinyiwei South Town Fusi, and in my spare time I would look through the case files in the document storehouse.There were a lot of big cases in Taizu's reign, and I have read most of the case files, but I have never seen the records of the family with nine surnames that Miss Murong just mentioned.Could it be that the case involves too much, and there are many grievances in it. The Emperor Taizu was worried that future generations would slander him, so he ordered the case file to be destroyed?However, Emperor Taizu was headstrong and conceited, and was never afraid of criticism from the common people.For example, when he killed Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Fu Youde, Lan Yu and other heroes, the relevant files were all intact and stored in the Nansi document library.Although the case of the family with the nine surnames mentioned by Miss Murong is quite tortuous, it is not considered a major case. Besides, most of Chen Youliang's generals have already died in battle. Zu, became a general of Ming Dynasty.I have been in Jinyiwei for many years, but I have never heard of Chen Youliang's generals rebelling.Moreover, when the Emperor Taizu was in power, although Jin Yiwei was granted great authority, the Second Division of the North and the South was subject to a lot of restrictions.Miss Murong also said just now that she heard other people's stories about these things, and there is no corroborating evidence. Moreover, old Mr. Murong Qiushui was noncommittal about the origin of the family with the nine surnames.Therefore, what Miss Murong said may be unreliable.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, Ye Fengchun flattered Murong Danyan, complimenting her for her knowledge and experience, and her experience in the world was unmatched.Even the high officials in the court may not know about such court secrets, but Miss Mu knows it clearly, which is really admirable.Although Murong Danyan is not a very happy person, she is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl after all. Hearing Ye Fengchun praise her so much, she was humble at first, but later she was very pleased with it, and she was a little elated.

Seeing Murong Danyan's complacent face, Li Qiufeng had many doubts about this matter in his heart, but he couldn't raise them in front of Murong Danyan, so he coughed twice and said to Chen Ping: "Mr. Speaking of which, I wonder what your opinion is?"

When asked by Li Qiufeng, Chen Ping looked a little embarrassed, smiled wryly, and said, "I'm ashamed to say, although I was born in the Chen surname among the nine surnames, I don't know why my ancestors became fish households. I don't know much."

Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Ye Fengchun didn't expect Chen Ping to say such a sentence, so they couldn't help hiding it, and didn't believe it in their hearts.Seeing the appearance of the three of them, Chen Ping knew that they had doubts about him, so he hurriedly continued: "I'm just an ordinary child of the Chen family, a rough guy who can't read a single word, and there is no question about how the ancestors did the Yuhu thing. I don’t know. Besides, there are many rules in the clan, so I don’t dare to inquire casually, even though I’ve heard some rumors, I’m afraid they can’t be taken seriously.”

While talking, Chen Ping paid attention to the expressions of Li Qiufeng and others.At this time, only Ye Fengchun was holding a torch in his left hand, and because of the dim light around him, he could only vaguely see the faces of the people, but couldn't clearly see what everyone's expressions were.Chen Ping pondered for a moment, and then continued: "However, on February [-]th every year, our children from Shuizhai with nine surnames will participate in the ancestor worship ceremony. The next few people are the fourth-generation nephews of the Chen family, and the ranking is almost at the end. I can’t see clearly what the elders of the nine families are doing on the platform set up on the wooden boat. I just heard from the elders of the same clan that there are fourteen pictures hanging on the wooden platform, and the picture in the middle hangs the highest, and there is a painting on it. A child in a yellow robe. There is a picture on the left and right sides of the child. The one on the left is a civil servant with a long beard, and the one on the right is a military general with a helmet on. It is juxtaposed with the picture in the middle, but it is three feet lower than the picture in the middle. And before these three pictures, there is another picture, which depicts a scribe with a high crown. Before this picture, line up The nine pictures, it is said that the characters painted in the nine pictures are the ancestors of our family with nine surnames."

When Chen Ping spoke, the five Chen family children standing behind him kept nodding their heads in agreement.Li Qiufeng thought to himself that the fourteen ancestors worshiped by the family of nine surnames must have a lot of background.The portrait of the child hanging on the highest place is probably Chen Youliang's son Chen Li.At that time, Chen Youliang led an army of 60 to march eastward and fought against Emperor Taizu in Poyang Lake. In the end, Emperor Taizu defeated Chen Youliang's army with less and defeated Chen Youliang's army. Chen Youliang himself died in the chaos.Later, Chen Youliang's general Zhang Dingbian and others supported his son Chen Li as emperor and ascended the throne in Wuchang City. Chen Li was only eleven or twelve years old at that time.Later, Emperor Taizu forced Chen Li to surrender and exiled him to Koryo. Finally, Chen Li died in Koryo, and his body was missing.If the family of the nine surnames were the descendants of the general under Chen Youliang's account, it would not be surprising to hang up Chen Li's portrait when offering sacrifices to their ancestors.As for who the other three portraits were painted, it is not known at the moment, but they are all generals under Chen Youliang's subordinates.For example, the famous general Zhang Dingbian is brave and invincible, and he is as famous as Chang Yuchun, the number one general under Taizu's account.After Chen Li surrendered to Emperor Taizu, Zhang Dingbian disappeared.Some people say that he became a monk, while others say that he fled overseas.When I was reading documents in the Nansi Library, I once saw a record of Emperor Taizu sending two generals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to the north.Emperor Taizu told Chang Yuchun not to underestimate the enemy. He specifically mentioned that after the Battle of Poyang Lake, all the generals thought that Chen Youliang died in the chaos, and the 60 army was wiped out. Birds of fright, when the army surrounds Wuchang City, Chen Li, Zhang Dingbian and others must surrender.Unexpectedly, when the army arrived at the foot of Wuchang City, Zhang Dingbian commanded the soldiers to defend Wuchang City, not intending to surrender at all.If the Emperor Taizu hadn't sent people to buy off the favorites around Chen Li, coaxing and deceiving them to make Chen Li surrender, it would have been even more difficult to defeat Zhang Dingbian and seize Wuchang City.Moreover, Zhang Shicheng was watching fiercely, and would come from Jiangsu and Zhejiang at any time.At that time, the Chen family and the Zhang family joined forces, and the Taizu emperor would be defeated by the enemy, and he would have to lose a lot.When Emperor Taizu mentioned Zhang Ding's defense of Wuchang City, he reminded Chang Yuchun not to think that the Tatars were defeated like a mountain, and the metropolis was vulnerable, so he had to be careful not to repeat the mistakes of the Wuchang City War.Emperor Taizu valued Zhang Dingbian so much, he must have extraordinary abilities.He is an important minister of Chen Youliang Tuogu, and the Nine Surnames juxtapose his portrait with Chen Li's, but it makes sense.As for who the other two are, it is hard to say right now.
