Because Zhu Hongsan was going back to Nanjing to organize the Northern Expedition, he was expected to stay in Wuchang for only five days. These five days were arranged every day, and the first day was to meet some of the remaining royal representatives of the royal family in Wuchang.

Because Huguang is a hometown of fish and rice, forty-four vassal kings were successively awarded for more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, becoming one of the regions with the largest number of vassal kings at that time, second only to Henan. The most famous of these vassal kings in Huguang is Zhu Hongsan's ancestor Zhu Zhen, the first generation of Chu King. The King of Chu himself gave birth to ten sons. The tenth son, Zhu Mengju, the king of Jiangxia County, was Zhu Hongsan's second generation ancestor. Then, Zhu Hongsan passed on to eleven generations, and the population reached tens of thousands.

This is still the Ministry of Rites that has a certificate of sanctions, that is, the official archives. Those married county lords and township lords are not included. If all of them are included in the Chu Fan, there will probably be no less than 100,000 people in total.

Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong cleaned up the door for Zhu Hongsan. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong captured Wuchang. Zhu Huakui, the last King of Chu, and his direct descendants, were all thrown into the Yangtze River by Zhang Xianzhong. Other royal families were also in trouble. Three-quarters of the royal families in Huguang were killed, and the rest fled into the mountains and forests.

However, the suffering of these royal families was not over. Next, the governor of Huguang, Liu Silai, retreated to Wuchang and threw these royal masters to the Qing army again. After several struggles, the remaining royal families are less than a hundred. However, the royal families in the Ming Dynasty are still very backbone. Although they know that they will die, not many surrender to the Qing army.

Now the closest relationship with Zhu Hongsan in Wuchang City is Zhu Hongbao, the general of Fuguo. This guy’s grandfather and Zhu Hongsan’s grandfather are cousins. They both came from Zhu Huayan, the seventh generation of Jiangxia County Prince. However, Zhu Hongbao’s ancestors were Zhu Huayan’s second sons, and Zhu Hongsan’s ancestors were concubines, so Zhu Hongbao has always inherited the position of General of Fuguo, and there are dozens of acres of good land outside Wuchang City. His family’s life was far better than Zhu Hongsan.

It can also be seen from the name that Zhu Hongsan himself and his father did not have any money to bribe officials of the Ministry of Rites, so the name could only be replaced by a number. Zhu Hongba's life is good, so his name is naturally a character. Although it is not a good character, it is better than Zhu Hongsan's.

When Zhu Hongba's grandfather was still alive, he still had contact with Zhu Hongsan's family, but when the older generation died, his relationship naturally faded. By the time Zhu Hongsan's father was about to contact, both families no longer contacted him. As for Zhu Hongsan's father, his father was already dead when he came here, so he naturally had no impression of this relative.

Zhu Hongbao knelt in front of Zhu Hongsan and got luggage. On the surface, he was respectful but cursed in his heart: It's really unreasonable. This guy was so poor that he was the emperor's turn to beg for food back then?

Although I am not satisfied, there is no way that the situation is better than others. Zhu Hongsan is now the emperor, and if you are unhappy, you can die and destroy the clan.

"My brother, Chu Fan, the Prince of Jiangxia, is the general of the auxiliary state, Zhu Hongbao. Long live my visit to my emperor!"

Zhu Hongsan saw the cousin in his forties kneeling in front of him, and he didn't know him either, but he had no choice but to win over the royal family, so Zhu Hongsan said in a whisper: "Cousin, please get up!"

"Cousin, I am the only one of my three generations. Now I am the closest brother to me is you!"

Zhu Hongba was ecstatic when he heard the emperor say this. He knew that the emperor's third prince inherited the Chu Fan and he had no hope at all, but the Prince of Jiangxia was still empty. If he could please the emperor, wouldn't Prince of Jiangxia be his own?

"Emperor, the Chu Fan is now in chaos. Fortunately, the Majesty stepped forward, so the Chu Fan was not allowed to be sacrificed. However, the Prince of Jiangxia heard that he was missing, which really made me feel sad!"

Zhu Hongsan knew that when he heard Zhu Hongba say this, he wanted to inherit the Prince of Jiangxia. In fact, it was nothing to give him a title, but what should I do if other vassals came to see him after giving it to him? Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but feel unhappy when he thought of this.

Zhu Hongluo didn't know that the emperor was unhappy. When he saw the emperor not talking, he thought the emperor was pondering. You should know that the prince of Jiangxia is not theirs, but who knows that there is a royal family closer to Zhu Hongluo's blood relationship in which valley.

Today, in order to show that his descendants are prosperous, Zhu Hongluo brought all his descendants and unmarried daughters over. There were 18 people in total. What he was afraid of was that the emperor would not give him a title and was preparing to win by quantity.

"Your Majesty, I have many disciples. How can they live in the future if I lose my title?" After Zhu Hongluo said that, he started crying in front of Zhu Hongsan, and his eighteen children also began to cry.

However, this strategy is useless in front of Zhu Hongsan. Not to mention that you cry with your children, you will not blink even if you hang Zhu Hongsan with your children.

Zhu Hongsan was so troubled by these people that he was about to kill the Jinyiwei beat the guys out, but when he looked up, he saw a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old in the crowd. He was pretending to be faked to cry, and he looked at him with his eyes while howling. He found that he immediately covered her face with her sleeves and then pretended to be crying.

Zhu Hongsan shouted: "Zhu Hongba, don't cry, cry, get out of me!"

Hearing the emperor getting angry, Zhu Hongbao never dared to cry anymore. When the group of people stopped crying, Zhu Hongsan pointed at the last girl and asked, "Zhu Hongbao, who is that?"

Zhu Hongluo looked at what the emperor pointed out and quickly said, "Brother, that is the youngest daughter of my brother. He just turned fourteen this year!"

It turned out to be Zhu Hongbao's daughter. She looks good and looks very similar to a star commonly known as "Bun Face" in later generations. The most important thing is that this girl is only fourteen years old. She was young and a sense of vitality appeared between her eyebrows.

Zhu Hongsan is 38 years old this year. Although he is only middle-aged, he is almost eighty in his forty years in his previous life. When he first traveled through time, Zhu Hongsan likes the royal sister very much, but as he grows older, he has become more and more fond of luoli in recent years.

Zhu Hongsan couldn't let go of his daughter, Zhu Hongsan, who got Jingjiang King in Guizhou. He was serving in bed every day for those months, and now he saw Zhu Hongrao's daughter being a little moved again.

Zhu Hongsan thought about how he wanted to get the little girl, and then pretended to be angry and said, "Your father and brother were crying bitterly just now, why are you pretending to cry?"

The little girl was only fourteen years old. She used to be alone in the gate and never left the door. She had seen such a scene and was so scared that she cried out by Zhu Hongsan's words. This time she was really crying.

Zhu Hongru was also very worried. When he came just now, he told his children that he must not reveal flaws. Now that this dead girl was caught by the emperor, what should I do?

"Your Majesty, the little girl is young..."

Zhu Hongluo was about to explain, but Zhu Hongsan said directly: "Okay! Don't say it anymore. Your daughter is very disrespectful. I will stay in the palace today and I will teach you personally! As for you, Zhu Hongluo, please inherit the title of Prince Jiangxia!"

Zhu Hongba was stunned when he heard the emperor say this. He is all adults and no one knows who! Stay in the palace to teach? You are still sleeping with the emperor! His daughter is the emperor's niece according to her seniority. Isn't this incest incompetence in sleeping with her uncle?

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's rule of the Ming Dynasty, the same surname cannot be married, but the cousins ​​are not within this limit. Therefore, it is very common for Ming representatives to marry and are very recommended by the ruling class. The parents of many great scholars in the Ming Dynasty were cousins, but there was no one in this marriage. In fact, according to blood ties, Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongba had already had five meals and could get married in later generations, but this was the Ming Dynasty. As an uncle, Zhu Hongsan had to force his niece to become a niece. This is a real incest scandal!

Zhu Hongba didn't know much about Zhu Hongsan. In fact, there were already many cousins ​​in Zhu Hongsan's harem. Not only this, the grandmother of the cousin had two people entering Zhu Hongsan's harem, that is, the two concubines of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, and one of them was even made out of a child by Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongba didn't expect that Zhu Hongsan was so shameless. He was about to speak, but Zhu Hongsan waved his hand directly. The Jinyiwei outside the door drove Zhu Hongrao's family out, leaving only the little girl alone.

When the little girl saw her father and brother being driven out, she cried: "Dad, don't leave the embroidery lady!"

Zhu Hongrou was sad when he saw his daughter crying, but when he thought that he was already the prince, he turned his head and ignored him. He followed the Jinyiwei out of the palace and sold his daughter to Zhu Hongsan.

The Jinyiwei in the hall knew that the emperor would do unethical things next, so they went out to stand outside the door, leaving only Li Chengen and a few young eunuchs in the hall.

When Zhu Xiuniang saw that her father and brother were out, she was so scared that she dared not speak, looking at Zhu Hongsan like a frightened little rabbit.

Zhu Hongsan walked off the dragon chaise, came to Zhu Xiuniang, and looked at the little girl in detail.

Zhu Hongluo has a good family background. It seems that this little girl has never suffered any hardships. She has already started to develop at the age of fourteen, and her chest is bulging like two pigeon eggs. Zhu Xiuniang is about 1.4 meters tall and less than 1.5 meters tall. She didn't know where to put her little hands, so she had to fiddle with the handkerchief in her hand.

"May I have your name?"

Zhu Xiuniang didn't dare to look up, but saw a pair of bright yellow dragon boots coming to her. Zhu Xiuniang replied in a low voice: "I'm called Zhu Xiuniang!"

"Miss Zhu Xiu, not bad! Do you know who I am?"

"I know... I know! You are the emperor and the uncle of my uncle!"

"Just know, do you know why I keep you?"

When Zhu Xiuniang heard the emperor say this, she knelt down quickly: "I know my mistake, I don't want to pretend to cry!"

Zhu Hongsan grabbed Zhu Xiuniang's little hand and gently pulled her up: "I'm not because of this, but because I found out that you have a disease! I ask you, do you have lower abdomen when Tiankui comes every month?"

Zhu Xiuniang blushed when she heard the emperor ask about her daughter's family. Zhu Hongsan continued, "Don't be shy, Empress, I am your uncle, and I will not harm you. Please answer me!"

Zhu Xiuniang nodded with a blushing face, and then Zhu Hongsan said, "That's right. I found that you are sick, so I left you to check your body!"
