Chapter 4 Ten generations of hatred can still be avenged!
All the way from the residential shops in the south of the city, Peng Ke walked all the way to the Xuanjin Bridge at the foot of the eastern imperial city.

Huaininghou Mansion is located in Liuxiang Lane on the south bank of Xuanjin Bridge.

According to the "Daming Huidian", the maximum scale of a duke's mansion can only be seven rooms in the front hall, nine frames in two mansions, seven rooms in the middle hall and nine frames, seven rooms in the back hall and seven frames, and three rooms and five frames in the gate house. and shape construction.

Naturally, the Marquis of Huaining did not dare to overstep in the slightest, and was built in full accordance with the regulations.

But even so, the Huaininghou Mansion still occupies a very large area, about 20 mu of land, 1.3 square meters in size, about the size of two modern football fields.

Fortunately, both the land and the Hou's Mansion were given by the imperial court, and the imperial court paid for the repairs. If the old Peng's family were to build it themselves, the whole family might go bankrupt and they would not be able to build such a big house.

Since the completion of Huaininghou Mansion, it has become the largest property of Lao Peng's family.

Although it is real estate, it cannot be sold, but at least it can support the image of the majestic Marquis of Ming Dynasty.

This may also be the reason why Emperor Hongwu, who was so picky to the extreme, was willing to spend money to build mansions for the princes.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is powerful, and the appearance of the nobles of their own family still needs to be decorated. If it is not magnificent, there is no prestige. Otherwise, when foreigners come to the dynasty, they will find that the great nobles of the Ming Dynasty live in small families. How can there be a kingdom of heaven temperament?

Peng Ke crossed the Xuanjin Bridge and walked into the Liu Lane on the south bank.

A large area of ​​willow trees is planted on the south bank, and the branches of the trees flutter in the spring breeze, which is very beautiful, and the name of Liuxiang Lane is also derived from this.

After entering Liuxiang Lane, within a few steps, Peng Ke walked to his Huaininghou Mansion.

It is said to be the Hou's Mansion, but in fact, except for the vermilion gate that can allow at least a dozen people to enter in parallel, it is really very elegant, and the other aspects of the house are not very different from ordinary houses.

After all, Emperor Hongwu stipulated that, except for the royal family, the roofs of the houses of any other officials and princes are not allowed to have corners, double eaves and heavy gongs, and can only be sealed with single eaves and single gongs like ordinary people.

At the gate of the Hou Mansion, there are no stone lions or unicorns that are commonly seen in TV dramas, and there are no auspicious beasts such as dragons and phoenixes, suanni, unicorns, and rhinoceros engraved on the door.

In Daming, if you randomly carve auspicious beasts and sages on your door, you will lose your head!
Master Hou can't even do it!
On the contrary, the gate is painted with gold lacquer, the doorknob is a tin ring made of animal faces, and there are patterned tile beasts on the roof ridge, and there are some common animal pictures painted and decorated in color on the beams, dougongs and eaves. , it still looks so solemn and atmospheric.

"Huaininghou Mansion"

After looking up at the gilded plaque above the main entrance, Peng Ke stepped forward, pulled the animal face and put a tin ring on it, and knocked.

Soon, the side door opened, and a boy dressed as a servant poked his head out.

The boy first glanced at Penke in a daze, then he realized, and shouted in surprise: "The prince is back!!"

As soon as the words fell, he turned his head and ran towards the inner courtyard without any image, and decided to notify the Patriarch of the situation.

Peng Ke shook his head and laughed, and ignored it. He walked into the Hou Mansion through the side door with Azhu Ahu, and closed the door by the way. Although no one would dare to steal from the Hou Mansion, it is a good habit to close the door casually.

Huaininghou Mansion is really big, just a front yard, and Penke walked for several minutes before crossing the front hall, crossing the middle hall, and entering the back yard.

As soon as he entered the backyard, the sound of reading from a side room closest to the nave attracted Penke.

"In the 25th year of Hongwu, His Majesty was furious for the northern barbarian bandits. He sent General Zhou Xing to plead for his crimes. He brought a battalion of flying armored troops and chased them to Cheche'er Mountain. They defeated them and captured more than [-] people alive. They also captured horses, camels and cattle. The sheep, silver seals, books, silver characters, iron plaques and other things were sent to the capital."

"This is the No. 11 war with the northern barbarians during the Hongwu period."

"Second Young Master, do you know why I, Daming, have never ceased to persevere with Beiman and never made any attempt to make peace?"

In the side room, a teacher wearing Confucian shirt and single-frame glasses is teaching an eight or nine-year-old child.

It's just that this topic is somewhat esoteric.

Penke curiously walked to the side room, and looked into the room through the glass window.

"Sir, the Northern Man broke the former dynasty and slaughtered tens of millions of Chinese people. My Chinese ancestors were treated as the fifth class by the Northern Man, and they were slaughtered by them like livestock. This is a bloody feud, and I have to avenge it! How can we make peace? !"

The child sitting in the center was dressed in brocade and was full of regalia, but the words he stood up to answer were murderous!
But the teacher was very satisfied with his answer, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Of course!"

"The enmity of ten generations can still be avenged!"

"The shame of the previous king is like the shame of the present king. This is a national enmity, and it can be revived for a hundred generations!"

"Hey!" Pen Ke looked at the teacher with eyes full of approval and admiration.

My good fellow, this is a scholar of the Ram School!

What the teacher said came from "Gongyang Zhuan Zhuanggong Four Years", which is a dialogue between Gongyangzi and Confucius.

"Gongyang Zhuan", also known as "Chunqiu Gongyang Zhuan", was written by Gongyang Gao, a native of Qi during the Warring States Period, and is one of the Confucian classics.

It has the same start and end time as "Spring and Autumn", so it can be understood as an interpretation of "Spring and Autumn" written by Confucius.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, it became one of the prominent schools at that time and was carried forward by Hu Wusheng.

In this world, because the dynasties of the Chinese land have been constantly fighting against the Northern Man, the Southern Man, and the Xirong, this school of great revanchism did not depose the hundreds of schools in Dong Zhongshu, and only respected his "Heaven-Man Response" like in the previous life. "Confucianism later weakened and declined.

Even among the different schools of Confucianism in this world, the Gongyang School has gradually become one of the prominent schools of thought in the world after its continuous growth in recent decades.

After all, the value of "the enmity of ten generations can still be avenged!" can still be recognized and accepted by the people who have just experienced the history of blood and tears in the old Song Dynasty.

This sentence was originally just a very common dialogue in "Gongyang Spring and Autumn", but it has also become the main idea of ​​the Gongyang School in the mouths of famous officials of the Gongyang School in recent decades!

Counting up three generations, which family has no one killed by Beiman?
This revenge must be reported!

With such a sense of identity, many scholars have devoted themselves to the embrace of the Gongyang School. Confucianism has also risen again through the shell of the Gongyang School. It is also known as the three major schools of the world with its old enemy Mohism and the allied military strategists of Mohism!
"It's strange, the second child has already finished enlightenment, why did my father find a Confucianist to teach the second child? Although it is said to be from the Gongyang School, it is still Confucianism in the end. Our family is a Shixun general , you should find a gentleman who is a military strategist!"

However, Peng Ke still felt a little baffled. Their Huaininghou Mansion was a well-known family of military generals. Why did the next generation develop Confucianism? Is this to cultivate a champion?

Ah Hu, who had been standing behind Peng Ke, twitched his lips. After hesitating for a moment, he still reminded him: "My son, you are the son of the Marquis of Huaining. The second son is not a descendant, so you cannot serve him in the family temple!"

Ah Hu was very speechless.

My family is good at everything, but sometimes I always make jokes about some common sense issues.

Hou Ye's son is also different.

As the orthodox heir, the eldest son should naturally be the focus of training. The main learning in the family must be inherited by the eldest son, and the way should be paved for him early. After the Marquis passes away, the eldest son will automatically become the head of the family and inherit the title.

As for the second sons of the other direct relatives and the sons of the concubines, they naturally do not have these privileges, and there will be no title inheritance in the future, and the Marquis's military connections must all be tilted towards the eldest son, striving for the eldest son to inherit the family business.

It is impossible to allocate resources to pave the way for another son. Isn't this a source of joy for the family?
The second son chose to study literature and go into politics, and then work hard on his own. This is the normal situation of noble families!
Peng Ke slapped his forehead and gave an embarrassed laugh. As a modern person, he was naturally somewhat repulsed by this classical concubine system, and he usually didn't think much about it, so he didn't think about it for a while.

The old man of his family really cleared all the obstacles to succession for him. Even the second child doesn't plan to let him join the army, so he is so optimistic about himself?

Just as Peng Ke was thinking about it, the sound of striding meteor footsteps and a thick and energetic voice came from far to near.

"My eldest son, you are back!"

"This is the first time you have traveled far away from Beijing. You didn't encounter any difficulties on the way, did you get used to the food and lodging? Did you rest well?"

"Father is worried to death!"
