Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 88 Jingnan Military Group
Indulge in wealth and indulgence, and drink and drink together.

that night.

Li Shunzu looked at the distinguished disciples in the main hall of Uncle Ning Yuan's mansion, exchanging cups and cups with each other. He didn't have the slightest sense of crisis that the country was about to be destroyed and the family was about to be destroyed, and he was very angry.

Due to the provisions of the Ming Dynasty etiquette system, noble children of the uncle level must be present in person, while marquis and duke can be replaced by direct relatives, so most of them are sent by a noble child of the family.

Li Shunzu was sitting behind the table on the north side, holding the wine glass in one hand and drinking in small sips.

He was very reluctant to participate in this kind of scene.

But today, after all, the emperor ordered them to come to support him. Even if he does not give face to these nobles, Emperor Chongzhen still has to give him face. No matter how unwilling he is, he will have to sit until dawn.

Yuan Yu seemed to be used to this kind of scene. He walked among the people and quickly became one with them.

She doesn't have such a heavy burden as Li Shunzu, and she can talk to anyone. After listening to Yuan Yu's words, many people cast their eyes to Li Shunzu above, with a look of surprise in their eyes.

But Li Shunzu knew that most of these nobles were just drunkards and lustful people when the Ming Dynasty died, so he had no intention of having a close relationship. He always sat on them, drinking dull wine at his celebration banquet, and looked at others as if they were thousands of miles away. Deserted.

Only when I occasionally raised my head and heard the shouts from the soldiers of the Shenshu Camp outside the main hall and the inner courtyard, did a slight smile appear on my face.

In fact, Li Shunzu now wants to go out and sit with his soldiers rather than with these noble sons.

If you don't belong to a circle that you don't belong to, you won't be able to blend in if you force yourself into it.

After just a brief glance, Li Shunzu saw many faces he had never seen before. Dozens or hundreds of nobles of all kinds were sitting together and making noises. None of these people had participated in the war, but they could act openly. Enjoy the fruits of victory.

When he thought of this, Li Shunzu felt very unhappy.

There was not a single duke present in person, and not many marquises. There were probably twelve or three people present in person, and they were all clearly differentiated, sitting together in twos and threes. It was obvious that they were not from the same faction.

The Marquis of Xining Song Yude, the Marquis of Yongkang Xu Xideng, the Marquis of Wu'an Zheng Zhijun, and the Marquis of Fengcheng Li Kaixian had been observing secretly at the foot of the stairs. When they saw Yuan Yu approaching, they all stood up quickly and saluted.

"Is this lady a relative of Uncle Ning Yuan?"

"Young lady is from a wealthy family. Uncle Ning Yuan is very lucky!"

Yuan Yu was very familiar with this kind of occasion, and he bowed slightly and saluted, and said: "The status of a commoner's daughter is not in the eyes of the princes. Uncle Ning Yuan's mansion is newly built in Beijing, and it will need more support and help from the princes in the future."

The four of them exchanged glances and nodded.

"sure!"

"That's natural. We have already intended to have a close relationship with Uncle Ning Yuan, otherwise we wouldn't have come here in person."

"Please also ask the young lady to lead the way. I think this Uncle Ning Yuan seems to be not easy to approach, right?"

They all have their own thoughts, but as a marquis, he can be present in person, which already illustrates his position.

Under Yuan Yu's introduction, Xining Marquis Song Yude, Yongkang Marquis Xu Xideng, Wu'an Marquis Zheng Zhijun, and Fengcheng Marquis Li Kaixian stood up from their seats, came to Li Shunzu, and each bowed.

Although Li Shunzu didn't know them, the gold medals on the waists of these four people said everything.

This kind of badge was given to Che Tianxiang after he announced the decree today.

It's just that they have gold medals on their waists, and Lee Soon-jo has silver-plated gold medals on his waist.

Li Shunzu didn't want to take the initiative to approach them, but after all, it was Yuan Yu who brought them, so he had no choice but to get up and return the favor.

"For the four princes to condescend to come here, it really brings glory to my uncle Ningyuan's residence!"

“You’re welcome to play everywhere, so please don’t be polite!”

The four of them also smiled and exchanged greetings, and sat down around Li Shunzu.

"Why doesn't Uncle Ning Yuan go have fun with all the nobles?" "Today is a great day, why is Uncle Ning Yuan so dull?"

"I've long wanted to meet the upstart who has made many military exploits, and today it's better to see him than to hear him once!"

The four of them exchanged greetings with Li Shunzu, but were speechless.

Several people sat in a circle, but the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

At this time, Yuan Yu stood aside and reminded him quietly.

"If the four princes want to see Uncle Ning Yuan for something, they can speak directly. It is difficult for others to overhear the noisy scene today."

The four people looked at each other after hearing this, and they all looked at Yuan Yu in shock.

"How did the young lady know that I am waiting for this trip and have other important matters?"

Yuan Yu smiled slightly, walked to stand behind Li Shunzu, and said: "The ancestors of the four marquises were all knighted for their military achievements in Jingnan. Lord Jingnan has lost power since the battle of Tumubao in the Zhengtong period."

"Of the dozen marquis who were present in person, four of them happened to be here. Isn't this a coincidence?"

After hearing this, the four people looked at each other with admiration on their faces.

"My lady's common sense is far from ordinary!"

"Can you tell me your name so that we can know more about it?"

Yuan Yu glanced at Li Shunzu and saw that Li Shunzu had no objection, and then said calmly: "My father's surname is Yuan. My father once served in Liaodong and is somewhat related to the interests you have."

When Xining Marquis Song Yude, Yongkang Marquis Xu Xideng, Wu'an Marquis Zheng Zhijun, and Fengcheng Marquis Li Kaixian heard this, they were all in awe, but they did not say anything explicitly.

Song Yude, the Marquis of Xining, looked behind him, then leaned closer and said, "Since Miss Yuan has made it clear, we will no longer be mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Now the court is dominated by traitors and sycophants. We all have established ourselves with the merits of our ancestors. Just like Uncle Ning Yuan, we are ashamed of our peers." You and I are together!"

Xu Xideng, the Marquis of Yongkang, also sighed and said: "It's a pity that after the Zhengtong Campaign, I, Jingnan, who was awarded the title of military merit, lost power and let these little people occupy the prominent place. This is the misfortune of the country and the world!"

Wu'an Marquis Zheng Zhijun and Fengcheng Marquis Li Kai first looked at each other and then stood up.

"Ning Yuanbo's great-grandfather was knighted for his military exploits, and his grandfather also had outstanding military exploits. Now Ning Yuanbo personally leads the army against the Jiannu and is the governor of the capital. He is really a role model for our generation. There are some things I have to say. We are waiting for people like Ning Yuanbo to appear. , I’ve been waiting for a long time!”

"I am a noble person who has been deprived of the emperor's salary. I have received great favors from the country and have a close relationship with the country. However, I cannot lead troops to fight against the enemy. I just watch these gang of corpse-like people corrupting the country. The country is getting worse day by day!"

"Uncle Ning Yuan, if you have something to say, please tell me in the room!"

Li Shunzu turned his head and looked at Yuan Yu in surprise.

This woman is not simple!

Even Li Shunzu didn't notice this kind of detail.

Among the dozen or so marquis who were present in person, the Marquis of Xining Song Yude, the Marquis of Yongkang Xu Xideng, the Marquis of Wuan Zheng Zhijun, and the Marquis of Fengcheng Li Kaixian were all distinguished figures in the Jingnan Army and belonged to the same branch, so they all sat together.

If they didn't have something to discuss, they wouldn't have come in person.

Seeing these few knowledgeable people among the nobles, Li Shunzu became interested. He stood up and winked at the servant standing beside him with his sword in hand.

The servant also stood up immediately and led the four people into the inner room first. Li Shunzu sat here for a while and then followed in.

As for Yuan Yu, he stayed in the main hall and continued to greet these nobles for Li Shunzu.

In this kind of situation, she is simply familiar with the situation.
