Zhu Jian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his mind was filled with happiness, and he suddenly understood many things.
"I'll be a good boy..." His expression changed drastically.
He discovered something great!
Zhu Youtang was a little frightened when he saw his father like this, and said calmly: "Father, did I say something wrong?"
He also heard what Li Dongyang said. Seeing his father acting like this, it seemed that Mr. Li was wrong.
"Father, father?"
"Ah? Oh." Zhu Jian deep in excitement, he laughed and said: "You are right, the last Yongqing Marquis was reused from the Hongwu Dynasty to the Xuande Dynasty, you are right..."
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Zhu Jianchen's face turned red, and his whole body was trembling with excitement, "No wonder it's like this...it's the only way! Ah~haha..."
Zhu Youtang stammered: "Father, please don't scare me... I just say things without meaning."
"Unintentional words? Hmm... unintentional is great!" Zhu Jianshen laughed loudly, "I understand, I understand everything..."
He murmured to himself, with a look of excitement on his face, almost crazy.
"Li Qing bullied me so much that he didn't even tell me, but I still found out..." Zhu Jianshen jumped excitedly, "When you come back next time, let's see how I punish you."
Zhu Youtang was so frightened that he almost cried, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
"Huh~!"
Zhu Jianshen breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down his excitement a little, and said calmly: "It's nothing, my father is... just thinking about the gold he extorted from me, and he is a little aggrieved."
"is that so?"
"Um?"
"That should be it." Zhu Youtang hurriedly changed his words and changed the subject with a smile: "They are all granted the title of Marquis of Yongqing, and they are also called Li Qing. I thought..."
"It's just a coincidence, what do you think?"
Zhu Youtang scratched his head and said, "I thought they had any connection."
Zhu Jianshen laughed and said: "This name is very common, no need to make a fuss. Okay, that's it for today. You can go and play."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Youtang was a little suspicious, "Father, are you really okay?"
"What, do you think something is wrong with my father?"
Zhu Youtang hurriedly waved his fat hand, "I don't think so, how could I have such thoughts!"
"It's better if you don't." Zhu Jianshen hummed, "Go ahead and study hard in the afternoon."
"Yes, I will retire."
Zhu Youtang saluted and got busy.
After his son left, Zhu Jianshen came to the outer hall and said, "Let Wang Zhi enter the palace to see him."
After a pause, he said to another Xiaohuangmen: "Go to Jinling and let Li Hong enter the capital."
"My slave obeys the order."
The two small yellow gates bowed in unison and exited the main hall.
Zhu Jianshen said again: "Go to Wenyuan Pavilion and find out the Records of Taizu and Records of Emperor Taizong for me. I want to study."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The remaining two Huangmen murmured in their hearts: What's wrong with Your Majesty? Why has he become so easy to learn in recent times?
But they didn't dare to ask, they were too busy.
Zhu Jianshen walked to the imperial desk and sat down. His agitated mood gradually calmed down, and at the same time, he couldn't help but murmur.
Is it really what you think?
Are there really people in the world who can live forever?
He couldn't help but have doubts...
Half an hour later, Wang Zhi came with the order.
"Long live my emperor, my slave!" Wang Zhi was excited: He's alive again!
"Pingsheng." Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and asked, "When you were handling the case in Jianning, you met Li Qing, right?"
Wang was halfway upright. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but stiffen and almost fell to the ground.
He hurriedly stabilized his body, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this servant has never seen Yongqing Hou. Besides... isn't he in Jinling?"
Zhu Jianshen couldn't tell the fact that Li Qing was in Japan. He just said: "He traveled around. When you were handling the case in Jianning, he happened to be there. He said he met you."
"That's it..." Wang Zhi suddenly realized, tried hard to think about it, but still shook his head: "I really didn't see Marquis Yongqing. At that time, I was focused on investigating the case and had no time to pay attention to him. Perhaps Marquis Yongqing met me, but I was blind. Didn’t see him.”
"Are you blind?" Zhu Jianshen was startled, then changed his question and asked, "Then who did you see?"
This was very embarrassing for Wang Zhi. He had met so many people that he couldn't remember them.
"My slave... I've met the Yang family."
Zhu Jianshen: "..."
He changed the question, "Have you ever seen anyone abnormal?"
"Well...oh, I actually saw one." Wang Zhi thought of the young man with the imposing aura of a superior.
He didn't hide anything and told Zhu Jianshen everything.
Zhu Jianshen suddenly became excited. He knew that if his prediction was correct, that person would be Li Qing.
So I was busy asking for details.
However, Wang Zhi kept saying those words over and over again, and there was no way to verify them.
It’s not Wang Zhi’s fault, it was just a face-to-face meeting.
"Forget it, please step back." Zhu Jianshen was a little disappointed. From Wang Zhi's words, he could not confirm Li Qing's identity.
It seems that if Li Hong comes to Beijing, Li Qing, who loves his godson so much, will definitely reveal some tricks...
Zhu Jianshen thought so.
Now he is very conflicted. Psychologically, he is sure of Li Qing's identity, but intellectually, he cannot convince himself.
After all...this is so ridiculous!
He wants to verify it in as many aspects as possible and cannot just rely on his feelings.
Soon, Xiaohuangmen brought the records of ancestors and went into the palace to repeat the decree.
Zhu Jianshen was so hungry that he immediately devoted himself to the records of his ancestors...
This time it was not for the purpose of learning, but to find Li Qing's presence, so he saw it quickly.
"In the summer of the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Queen Gao was critically ill, and the imperial hospital was helpless. The emperor was furious and sent the royal guards to find the immortal Zhang Slutty..."
Zhu Jianshen found the earliest record of Li Qing's appearance and began to study it...
Thousands of households in Jinyi, the governor of Jinyi Town, the supervisor of the army, the Marquis of Yongqing, the prince and grand master, the supervisor of the army, the supervisor of the army, the supervisor of the army...
In the Hongwu Dynasty, it was unimaginable to grant a title to someone who was not the founding hero, and it only took a few years... Zhu Jianshen thought to himself.
Before this, he had never cared about the Yongqing Marquis, but now he took a closer look and realized how terrifying it was.
Continuing to look down, Li Qing offended many people. He always attacked the prince-in-law and opened fire on civil servants. Even Li Wenzhong, the nephew of Taizu, was forced to bear a thorn to plead guilty...
But the result was that Marquis Yongqing offended many people, and instead of being punished, he was promoted repeatedly.
Especially the part: Shang was furious and wanted to kill with his sword. Li Qing was frightened and ran away.
Zhu Jianshen was shocked. How could he still play like this?
That was Taizu, the Taizu who killed tens of thousands of officials in one day!
And this passage appears not just once, but many times.
This guy really... has two brushes... Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but marvel.
He has never met Taizu, but he still knows Taizu's murderous nature. He broke out in the sea of corpses and blood mountains. This tough character will never change easily.
From the great purge in Taizu's later period, it is not difficult to see how murderous Taizu was!
However, Li Qing is an exception.
So many times I tried to kill him, but never took action.
According to historical records, they did not catch up, but this is very funny. The emperor wants to kill someone, so why should he chase him?
The reason is that he still doesn’t want to kill!
"It's not simple!" Zhu Jianshen exclaimed, "This Yongqing Marquis is really not simple. It seems to be even worse than this one... By the way, are they the same person?"
With curiosity, Zhu Jianshen continued to look for Li Qing's footprints.
After Taizong succeeded in appeasing the emperor, the first thing he did was to visit Li Qing, appoint him again, and still let him be the crown prince and grand master.
Even so, Li Qing still ignored him and often did not go to court.
After Renzong ascended the throne, he transcended the relationship between monarch and minister and treated him as an elder brother.
After Xuanzong ascended the throne, he respected him even more, and often rewarded him with gold in the name of betting...
Then, Li Qing left the jungle.
As for his whereabouts, Xuanzong's actual records did not record it.
By the time the name Li Qing appeared again, it had been orthodox for five years.
As soon as he came, he overthrew Yang Shiqi, who was in the limelight. Not only did he overthrow him, but he also ruined his reputation.
However, the history books of the Zhengtong Dynasty are very rudimentary. They were compiled by his second uncle. Since he is not sure about his eldest brother's situation, they are not called true records.
Zhu Jianshen could not deduce the whole truth from a few words, but he could feel how difficult it was to achieve this step with a status of being an official at the height of the civil service.
"This Li Qing... is that Li Qing." Zhu Jianshen's eyes were firm, "This kind of method can only be achieved by someone who has been immersed in the temple for decades!"
Zhu Jianshen spent a month reading Li Qing's footprints in the history books.
The case was solved.
Combined with the box of books sent by Li Hong, Zhu Jianshen firmly believed that the two Yongqing Hous were the same person!
That was not a secret at all, but Li Qing's essay, which was written about things he had personally experienced.
This also explains why the unreasonable things in the actual records become extremely reasonable in Li Qing's book.
"Li Qing, Li Qing, you are really good at hiding this from me for so long..." Zhu Jianshen was both angry and excited.
Next, we’ll wait for Li Hong.
Physical evidence alone was not enough, there had to be witnesses. He wanted to thoroughly prove Li Qing's identity.
Otherwise, this guy will definitely refuse to admit it when the time comes.
Zhu Jianshen began to look forward to it...
More than ten days later, Li Hong finally entered Beijing.
Li Hong was also quite speechless. He had just arrived in Jinling and before his butt was hot, the imperial edict arrived.
Without saying anything, he just asked him to come to Beijing, which made him confused and unprepared.
Qianqing Palace.
Li Hongxing greeted the emperor and his ministers with a great gift: "Long live my emperor!"
"No gifts, no gifts." Zhu Jianshen stepped forward to help him up in person, his face full of affection, "Give him a seat and give him a banquet."
Li Hong looked confused: What's going on, uncle?
Although the two have such a relationship, their daughter-in-law and brother-in-law are not the same mother after all.
To take a step back, even if you are a compatriot from the same mother, as the emperor, there is no need to be so polite...
He was really flattered. Even the father-in-law may not be treated like this.
"The emperor summoned his ministers to collect the smuggling caravan?" Li Hong asked.
In his opinion, this was the only possibility.
