    Nanjing!

    The golden powder land of the Six Dynasties, the imperial state of Jinling!

    It can be said that this city plays an extremely special role in the entire history of China!

    Although it is known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, no matter which dynasty established its capital in Nanjing, it would basically not last long!

    Even Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, lost his throne in just a few years after his grandson Zhu Yunwen established his capital in Nanjing!

    Whether it was because he really planned to protect the country or because he was afraid that his nephew would kill him, after Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, the Ming Dynasty became completely stable. Even the Tumu Fort Incident, in which the emperor was captured, did not shake the foundation.  !

    I don¡¯t know what Zhu Di was thinking at the time. After moving the capital to Beijing, he still left a full set of civil and military personnel in Nanjing, creating an unprecedented two capitals in one dynasty.

    It¡¯s just that everyone knows that although Nanjing also has six ministries and nine ministers, being an official in Nanjing is basically equivalent to severing one¡¯s official career, so Nanjing¡¯s officialdom has a peaceful and casual atmosphere that is definitely not found in Beijing!

    However, Nanjing has not been peaceful recently, because a fatal team is slowly approaching. As this team gets closer and closer to Nanjing, there is a tense and weird atmosphere in Nanjing's officialdom from top to bottom!

    In this weird atmosphere, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji chartered a boat on the Qinhuai River to entertain Lu Qingping, the eunuch guarding Nanjing!

    "Some people would say that inviting eunuchs to the boat is equivalent to swearing, isn't it?

    In fact, this is completely wrong. As a powerful person like the eunuch guarding Nanjing, no matter who is on the ground in Nanjing, he is a person who can move the wind and rain. Even if such a person is physically disabled, his power is enough to frighten him.  Woke up!

    So Xu Hongji invited Lu Qingping to drink on the boat. It was definitely not a curse. On the contrary, if he really found a place without women, it would be suspected of swearing. Xu Hongji, as the tenth generation successor of Wei Guogong in Nanjing, naturally could not commit such a low-level behavior.  mistake!

    Speaking of Nanjing's Wei Guogong, many friends know it. It was a direct descendant of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.

    Xu Da was Zhu Yuanzhang¡¯s number one general, and Lao Zhu was definitely interested in him. Not only did he become the Duke of Wei, but he also became the in-laws of his children. After Xu Da¡¯s death, he was posthumously named the King of Zhongshan!

    As for the rumor that Xu Da was killed by Lao Zhu with a roast goose, it is basically a rumor in unofficial history.  It's no longer possible, there is really no need for Lao Zhu to do this!

    After Xu Da's death, his son Xu Huizu ascended the throne and became the second generation Wei Guogong. However, because Xu Huizu supported Zhu Yunwen wholeheartedly when Zhu Laosi was in trouble, Xu Huizu even refused to welcome Zhu Laosi when he entered Nanjing, so he was dismissed.  Zhu Laosi deposed his title!

    But in any case, Xu Huizu was also Zhu Laosi's brother-in-law, so although Xu Huizu's title was deposed, he was only imprisoned at home.

    After Xu Huizu died, Zhu Laosi asked his son Xu Qin to ascend the throne and become the third generation Duke of Wei. However, Xu Qin was also a stubborn person and even wrote to Zhu Laosi to resign from the Duke of Wei. Zhu Laosi was also  The fourth son was deposed. Later, after Renzong ascended the throne, Xu Qin's title was restored, and the Wei Guogong lineage was continued!

    Of course, Xu Da¡¯s descendants also have the lineage of Ding Guogong of Beijing. This is because during the Jing Dynasty, there were also differences within the Xu family, or they were hedging their bets. The fourth son of the Xu family, Xu Zengshou, was a die-hard fan of Zhu Laosi.  Killed by Zhu Yunwen!

    After Zhu Laosi became the emperor, although he imprisoned his brother-in-law, he was very sad about his brother-in-law's death. He directly made Xu Zengshou the Duke of Dingguo and let his son Xu Jingchang directly ascend the title. Later, Zhu Laosi moved the capital and made Duke Dingguo.  Yimai followed him to Beijing!

    ?????????????????????????? However, although Ding Guogong¡¯s lineage is a die-hard faction of Zhu Laosi, after going to Beijing, although he has a high position, his power is never heavy. On the contrary, Wei Guogong¡¯s lineage is more powerful in Nanjing.

    Take Xu Hongji as an example. The Duke of Wei ascended the throne in 1595 in the 23rd year of Wanli. In the 35th year of Wanli, he was ordered to assist in the defense of Nanjing and became the commander-in-chief of the rear army. In the 37th year of Wanli, he became the admiral of Jiang Cao.  , is to take charge of Nanjing's first-line river defense!

    Now that Xu Hongji is over fifty, he really has no clue about the new emperor. Especially Zhu Youxiao's series of actions towards the emperor's relatives made Xu Hongji feel that it was best for him to retreat bravely and avoid it for the time being.  Very sharp!

    Although it was nothing to just give up the power in his hands, Xu Hongji was afraid that the little emperor in Beijing would not let him go so easily, because the Duke of Dingguo had already sent a letter telling him about the situation in Beijing!

    Seeing the letter, Xu Hong?My heart is heavy. All the land in Beijing's noble capital has been cleared, and the merchants have also paid taxes. The Duke of Wei's mansion in Nanjing has millions of acres of fertile land and hundreds of merchants. These are the guarantee of the luxurious life of the Duke of Wei.  If the little emperor takes a fancy to him, it will be troublesome!

    The reason why Xu Hongji hosted a banquet with Lu Qingping this time was to get some accurate information from the Nanjing garrison eunuch and see how much money he could spend to satisfy the little emperor.

    In fact, Xu Hongji already had a plan in mind. It would be best if he could spend less. But if that doesn't work, he still has to keep the title of Wei Guogong first.

    The warm breeze is blowing, the waves are rippling, and the night is gradually covering the earth, but the stars are poking on the Qinhuai River, and the music is melodious!

    Xu Hongji stood on the bow of the painting boat, his tall and tall body like a green pine, and his calm and handsome face with a hint of sadness. Although Xu Hongji was over fifty years old, he still had the magnanimity cultivated by being pampered and in a high position.  The girl looked sideways!

    At this time, a simple carriage came slowly, and soon stopped in front of the boat. The driver jumped out of the car, opened the curtain, and walked out of a man in his forties, wearing a green monk's robe, with a white face and no beard.  Young man, this person is Lu Qingping, the eunuch guarding Nanjing!

    This Lu Qingping is also a person. He has been in Nanjing for less than two years, and he has earned 800,000 yuan instead of one million. However, he has always maintained an extremely frugal living habit. Not only is his food and clothing expenses extremely ordinary,  Even when I go out, I always have one car and one servant, and I never take one more person with me!

    Lu Qingping got off the carriage and saw Xu Hongji greeting him at the bow of the boat. He quickly showed a sincere smile, walked quickly to the bow of the boat with a slightly bowed body, bowed deeply and said: "You are welcome, Mr. Laoguo, from afar, our family  What a sin!¡±

    Xu Hongji laughed and returned the courtesy: "Eunuch Lu, you are so polite. I invite Eunuch Lu to drink this time. Xu has something to ask for, so please don't refuse Eunuch Lu!"

    Lu Qingping naturally guessed why Xu Hongji invited him, and the smile on his face did not change: "It's easy to say! It's easy to say! If the Duke of Guo can find something useful for our family, just ask, as long as our family can do it, we will do our best to die!"

    But Lu Qingping secretly thought in his heart: "It seems that the nobles in Nanjing can't sit still and have moved the Duke of Wei out. This is a good opportunity. If we handle it properly, we will be able to achieve great success soon!"
