Ten miles away from Qinhuai, the spring breeze is rippling.
The humidity outside the boat window was misty, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Li Hongbi was disturbed by his thoughts and felt a little cold, so he subconsciously wrapped himself in a mink fur.
"My son, come and drink this bowl of ginger soup quickly to avoid catching the cold."
Li Jinglong carefully brought a bowl of ginger soup and looked at Li Hongbi with hope.
This was his only son. If something happened to Li Hongbi, the lineage of the eldest son of the old Li family would be cut off!
But Li Hongbi still sat blankly, without any reaction, as if he was stupid.
Seeing his appearance, Li Jinglong felt extremely distressed.
"Son, drink the ginger soup quickly."
"When I become a father, I will listen to you in everything, okay?"
"My father will never come to Qinhuai, which is ten miles away. Tomorrow I will send off these courtesan Hu Ji, and even destroy the sunken river with this painted boat..."
"No!" Li Hongbi finally spoke, "You have to come, and come every day. You and I, father and son, will go into battle together, and your reputation as a playboy will be spread all over the world!"
His completely opposite attitude confused Li Jinglong.
"My son, what do you mean..."
"If you desecrate yourself, just defile yourself. It can be regarded as a means of self-protection."
Li Hongbi sighed and already recognized the reality.
This cheap old man of his is the famous Ming Dynasty God of War, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong!
Who is Li Jinglong?
Anyone who knows a little about the history of the Ming Dynasty should be familiar with him.
This guy is a complete swindle. He relies on his face and words to make the Jianwen court mistakenly think that he is a master of military strategy who knows everything.
As a result, during the Battle of Jingnan, Li Jinglong succeeded the defeated Geng Bingwen and became the second commander-in-chief of the Southern Army. He personally led an army of 500,000 people to attack Peiping. However, he was defeated by the King of Yan Zhu Di and was defeated. The war crippled all the elites of Emperor Jianwen, laying the foundation for the success of King Zhu Di of Yan!
Li Jinglong, the first generation God of War of the Ming Dynasty, a typical representative of the loser in the downwind game, the despised Duke Cao of the Ming Dynasty!
As the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army who had once lost an army and humiliated the country, not only did Jianwen's old ministers hate him for losing in a favorable situation and losing the elite of the Southern Army in the first battle, but even the Yan Army camp laughed at him and Li Jinglong was a general's dog. He is a dandy and a loser!
If that's all it is, then that's it.
After all, who can guarantee victory in a war like this?
If you lose in a battle, you are inferior in skill and humiliated, but you are not shabby!
But Li Jinglong, this idiot, did something earth-shattering again!
After he lost his master and humiliated the country, he was recalled to the imperial capital of Jinling by Zhu Yunwen, but he was not punished. Even though Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others repeatedly wrote letters requesting that Li Jinglong be killed to express gratitude to the world, Zhu Yunwen refused to listen.
As a result, Li Jinglong not only did not repay his kindness, but when the Yan army entered Jinling City and attacked the Jinchuan Gate, he and the Valley King Zhu Su directly opened the door to surrender and welcomed the Yan army into the city. The Jinling Imperial City fell, and Zhu Yunwen did not know whether he was alive or dead!
What is this behavior?
Rebellious guy!
Twenty-five boys!
Lead the way!
What a rebellious minister!
If you lose the battle, it's just a matter of ability.
But if you surrender to the enemy in front of the enemy and become a rebel leader, then this is a matter of character!
Not to mention the old ministers of Jianwen and Jingnan who looked down on Li Jinglong, even Li Hongbi looked down on this cheap guy like him!
Now that Zhu Di has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has successfully usurped the empire of his nephew Zhu Yunwen and sat on the throne of emperor. Naturally, the former Jianwen ministers will inevitably be purged.
However, Zhu Di not only did not attack Li Jinglong, but also gave him a gift far beyond that of the hero of Jingnan!
On the surface, because of Li Jinglong's "silent ministerial merits", he was awarded the title of Fengtian Fuyun, sincere Xuanli Military Minister, Special Administrative Officer of Guanglu, Zuozhu Kingdom, the title of Crown Prince and Grand Master, and an additional salary of 1,000 dan per year. But in fact, this is putting Li Jinglong on the fire!
Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu, the heroes of the Jingnan War, followed the King of Yan, Zhu Di, and rebelled. They climbed mountains of swords and seas of fire, crawled out from the pile of dead, and finally conquered the country.
As a result, when it came time to divide the heroes, they were surprised to find that this idiot Li Jinglong became the number one hero, ranking first among the civil and military officials. No one would be able to balance their hearts, let alone those murderous people. Hemp's Jing is difficult to kill!
So Li Hongbi is very panic now, a lot of people are panic!
If he remembered correctly, in the second year of Yongle, after Li Jinglong's residual value was drained by Zhu Di, Zhu Di would take action against Li Jinglong.
First, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji Shangshu exposed Li Jinglong, saying that he had "come to his residence to accept bribes" during the Jianwen period.
Then Zheng Ci, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, also impeached Li Jinglong for "harboring evil intentions, preparing for death, and committing evil acts."
Next, Duke Cheng, Zhu Neng, Minister of Civil Affairs, Jian Yi, Liu Ke Shizhong, Zhang Xin and other court ministers impeached Li Jinglong again, claiming that he had conspired with his younger brother Li Zengzhi to rebel.
From the beginning, Zhu Di refused to pursue the case, and then cut off Li Jinglong's title of meritorious official, and did not allow him to go to court to face the emperor, so he stayed at home with the title of Duke.
Finally, Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, wrote a memorial, saying that Li Jinglong accepted kneeling at home as a courtesy from a monarch and his ministers, which was treason and unethical. His younger brother Li Zengzhi set up many farms and raised hundreds of slaves. He had ulterior motives and gave Li Jinglong a fatal blow!
Zhu Di then became furious and deprived Li Jinglong of his title. He and Li Zengzhi, as well as dozens of his wife and children, were placed under house arrest at home, and their property was confiscated. Li Jinglong went on a hunger strike for ten days to clarify his will, but it was of no use. Lao Li The family's title as Duke of Cao was thus cut off.
Zhu Ji, the king of Zhou, Zheng Ci, the minister of punishment, Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, Jian Yi, the minister of official affairs, Zhang Xin, the minister of six subjects, Li Zhigang, the minister of rites... Look at this luxurious lineup, they are all the henchmen of Emperor Yongle. !
However, Li Jinglong was incompetent and had questionable character. He became a disgusting existence among the people in the court. Even though he was ranked first among the officials, everyone wanted to step on him. Li Jinglong himself couldn't even give a damn. He didn't dare to let go, and in the end he was deprived of his title and died in depression!
People hate dogs!
The beginning of hell!
Li Hongbi let out a long sigh, looking a little lonely.
God, aren't you playing with me on purpose?
A cold wind blew through the window, making people feel chilly all over.
But the chill of late autumn was far inferior to the coldness in Li Hongbi's heart now.
He knew very well that Li Jinglong's current situation was a dead end.
As long as Zhu Di squeezes out the last remaining value from him, he will be swept out of the court like garbage!
The famous founding general Li Wenzhong, who fought to the death for his descendants, would also be deprived of the title of Duke of the country, and the old Li family would be in decline and would never be able to stand up straight again!
All this is because of Li Jinglong, this goddamn second- and fifth-year-old boy who leads the way!
"Dad, have you ever thought that one day you will be infamy for thousands of years and your descendants will be affected?"
Li Jinglong was angry when he heard this. How could a son accuse his father of his faults? He raised his hand just to show off his father's majesty.
However, when he finally couldn't bear to continue the fight, he could only scold him with a grunt: "You kid's mouth is getting more and more vicious!"
Li Hongbi still stared at him, making Li Jinglong feel uncomfortable.
The father and son stared at each other like this. After a long time, Li Jinglong slumped on the chair, looking extremely lonely.
"You're right, I'm a father... I'm sorry for you!"
"But our Duke Cao's government is not short of money and food. It is enough for your kid to spend his whole life!"
When Li Hongbi heard this, he immediately sneered.
"hehe."
"Do you really think that person will make your life so comfortable?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jinglong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face turned as pale as paper!
