    Duke Wei¡¯s Mansion in Nanjing!

    The Duke of Wei, Xu Hongji, sat in the main seat with a sad face, flanked by distinguished military attach¨¦s from Nanjing on both sides!

    Since Xu Hongji became the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, the nobles in Nanjing have naturally risen with the tide, and everyone has been involved in errands, so these people are very high-spirited!

    But this time, Duke Wei called everyone to his house and didn¡¯t talk to everyone. He just sat there with a gloomy face, which was strange!

    "My lord, what's wrong with you? If you have any difficulties, just tell the brothers, and they should help the lord!" Liu Kongzhao, the son of Chengyi Bo, said in a low voice!

    As we all know, the first generation of Chengyi Bo in the Ming Dynasty was the divine fortune teller Liu Bowen, who was hereditary to Liu Kongzhao, his father, and the current generation of Chengyi Bo Liu Xinchen has been passed down for six generations. Now Liu Xinchen is bedridden, so although Liu Xinchen became the left minister of the Ministry of War, he still does things for him  It was his son Liu Kongzhao!

    However, Xu Hongji did not like Liu Kongzhao, because Liu Xingchen was originally the concubine of the Liu family. The reason why he could inherit the title of Count Chengyi was because when the old uncle Liu Shiyan died of illness, his legitimate son Liu Laichen was still young, so he inherited the title of Count Chengyi.  The concubine Liu Xinchen borrowed the title!

    It is said that what is borrowed must be repaid. Since the title of Liu Xinchen was borrowed, it must be returned. In other words, after Liu Xinchen dies, the title of Lord Chengyi will be inherited by Liu Laichen!

    So it stands to reason that if Liu Xinchen cannot be a director, he should let Liu Laichen do it for him, but now he has asked his son Liu Kongzhao to step in. The meaning can be imagined!

    Originally, this was the Liu family's own business, and Xu Hongji didn't want to interfere with it. But Liu Kongzhao was a restless master. He jumped up and down and had a hand in everything. It was really annoying!

    But now that Liu Kongzhao has broken the silence, no matter how much Xu Hongji bothers him, he can only take the opportunity to say: "This time it is not my own trouble, but yours!"

    As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Liu Kongzhao quickly asked: "I wonder what the Duke means by this?"

    Xu Hongji sighed and said: "Do you still remember His Majesty's decree last year? It's just that His Majesty has sent the money to you, but can your fields be returned?"

    When Xu Hongji asked this question, everyone's faces showed a look of embarrassment. To be honest, the eunuch Li Jinzhong made seven to eight million yuan in Nanjing last year and also brought new income to Nanjing's nobles.  The land inside has not been returned much!

    Liu Kongzhao glanced at everyone and knew that they did not take the retreat seriously at all. After all, after Li Jinzhong left, no one from Beijing was sent to ask about the matter, and the Nanjing garrison eunuch Lu also ignored it.  So each company just retreated a little symbolically, and then let it go!

    Now that Xu Hongji has mentioned this matter, it is natural that the little emperor in Beijing has thought of it and is afraid that he will send someone to check it out. That¡¯s why Xu Hongji, the Minister of War in Nanjing, is worried!

    Of course Liu Kongzhao would not persuade Xu Hongji to dig out all the land in the hands of the noble military attach¨¦, but Xu Hong would be in trouble if he could not solve the matter!

    After thinking for a while, Liu Kongzhao said with a smile: "My lord, this matter shouldn't be difficult for my lord, but each family's land has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and the land has been growing for a while.  It¡¯s not clean. If the superiors want to come and check, my nephew has some ideas!¡±

    Xu Hongji glanced at Liu Kongzhao and said calmly: "What can I do?"

    Liu Kongzhao smiled complacently and said: "This kind of dealing with the superiors is nothing more than arranging the scene in advance and spreading favors. If I want to come to Nanjing for the superiors, I won't embarrass you, the Duke!"

    "Hmph!" Xu Hongji slapped a piece of official document on the table and said angrily: "What you say is easy. This is a document from the Ministry of War in Beijing. His Majesty has established the Nanjing Fleet of the Guards Navy. Now the warships of the Nanjing Fleet have sailed from Tianjin.  Sailing, coming to Nanjing, do you know what this means?"

    No one dared to answer this question. Xu Hongji glanced at everyone and said with a cold smile: "Beijing and Nanjing used to be thousands of miles apart. Even if Beijing wanted to take care of the affairs in the south, it was beyond its reach. But after the Royal Navy is stationed in Nanjing, it is equivalent to Beijing's reach.  When we get to the south, are you still going to hang out like before?"

    "My lord, if I'm not an expert, our ancestors worked hard to create this great world. How come it's become a sin for us people to have more land now? Even if this matter comes to the emperor, I won't accept it!"  Although Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yinxu was over sixty, he had a very hot temper. He shook his gray head and said angrily!

      This Huaiyuan Marquis is the bloodline of Chang Yuchun, King of Kaiping, who was granted the title of Duke of E.  Hongwu died in the army in July of the second year. Zhu Yuanzhang was distraught after hearing the news. He cried and fainted several times. Of course, whether Lao Zhu was really faint or fake, only God and himself know.

    In October, Zhu Yuanzhang posthumously named Chang Yuchun as the hero of Yi Yun's promotion of Xuande Jingyuan, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shangzhuguo, Taibao, Zhongshu You Prime Minister, Kaiping King, with the posthumous title Zhongwu.

    After Chang Yuchun's death, his eldest son Chang Mao was promoted to Dr. Ronglu, Youzhu Kingdom, Zheng Guogong in the eleventh month of the third year of Hongwu's reign because of Chang Yuchun's achievements.

    However, in September of the 20th year of Hongwu, Chang Mao was put under house arrest for a crime and placed in Longzhou. Chang Mao died of illness in the 24th year of Wanli, leaving no one to inherit his title.

    And Chang Yuchun's second son Chang Sheng, in October of the 21st year of Hongwu, was granted the title of Qin Qin, inheriting his father's business and promoting the sincerity of Xuanli Military Minister, Youzhu Kingdom, and the founding Duke of the country, with a salary of three thousand dan!

    The title of Chang Sheng's branch was passed to the eighth generation Chang Xuanzhen, who was renewed as Huaiyuan Marquis in April of the 11th year of Jiajing, with a salary of thousands of stones, and was hereditary.

    Chang Yinxu was the tenth generation Huaiyuan Marquis of the Chang family. He ascended the throne in August of the ninth year of Wanli and took charge of the Nanjing military mansion!

    Although Chang Yinxu is only a marquis, he is a descendant of Kaiping King Chang Yuchun after all. In addition, he is also old, so even in front of Xu Hongji, he will not be too taboo!

    If it were in the past, Xu Hongji wouldn't care if Chang Yinxu said something excessive, but now it's time to get angry, and Chang Yinxu is still fussing over the land, and Xu Hongji can't help but feel a little angry!

    The reason why Xu Hongji is so anxious is not because the Xu family is reluctant to part with the land. In fact, the Xu family's land has been cleared long ago. However, as the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, Xu Hongji is in charge of the military affairs of Southern Zhili!

    If the matter of clearing out the military fields cannot be handled well, it will be difficult for him to explain to Zhu Youxiao. If the Minister of War of Nanjing is really thrown away because of this trivial matter, Xu Hongji feels that it is really unfair!

    Therefore, after Chang Yinxu finished speaking, Xu Hongji's face became even more ugly. He said coldly: "Your Majesty wants us to return the occupied fields, but His Majesty didn't give us compensation? How much money have you made this year? You must be thinking  You know, why do you put a lot of money in your pocket, but you can't spit out a little bit of land?"

    When everyone saw that Xu Hongji didn¡¯t even give Chang Yinxu face, they couldn¡¯t help but shrink their necks!

    Xu Hongji continued: "My Lord, please remember that now is not the time to be careless. Clear out all the extra fields at home as soon as possible. Don't be taken as the leader when the time comes!"

    Although everyone is also afraid, they are really reluctant to give away their fields!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
