Capital City, the end of Zhuque Street.
Here, sits the Xu Mansion, the first family of the founding nobles.
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the only prince with a different surname was the ancestor of the Xu Mansion. Xu Zhengqi, who was revered as the God of War at the time, was named Prince Taiping on the day the Taizu of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne. He was hereditary and allowed to build a mansion. .
Xu Zhengqi was Taizu's brother, and they were born and died more than ten times.
To put it bluntly, without Xu Zhengqi's life and death protection, Taizu of the Tang Dynasty would have died countless times.
Because of this, Xu Zhengqi was named Taiping King, and no one dared to say even a few provocative words.
When Xu Zhengqi died, he resigned from the title of Taiping King.
Emperor Taizu agreed.
Xu Zhengqi's three sons were canonized at the same time a hundred days after Xu Zhengqi. The eldest son was granted the title of Duke Changle, the second son was granted the title of Duke Yong'an, and the third son was granted the title of Duke Antai.
One sect and three masters have never existed since ancient times.
Although King Taiping Xu Zhengqi passed away, the Xu family was appointed by Taizu's royal pen and still lived in Haiyan Mansion, the palace where King Taiping lived.
Haiyan Mansion, which means Haiyan River Qing, reflects the title of King Taiping.
The old lady who now lives in the Xu Mansion was an orphan adopted by Taizu during the war. She became the adoptive father of Taiping King Xu Zhengqi, and later married the third son of Taiping King.
In terms of seniority, this old lady is two generations senior to Emperor Yongping.
When Emperor Yongping saw this person, he had to respectfully call her great-aunt.
As the adopted daughter of Emperor Taizu, the righteous daughter of Prince Taiping, and the concubine of An Tai Gong, this old lady can be said to be the most noble person in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Although the three princes of Xu Mansion are parallel, the three princes now are only the children and grandchildren of this old lady.
Xu Shuo, the Marquis of Dingbei who had made great achievements in the border battles, was expelled from the Xu Mansion in the first place. This old lady was the key to it.
It's just that few people know the truth about Xu Mansion's affairs.
Cishou Hall is the residence of the old lady of Xu Mansion.
Every day, the junior members of Xu Mansion came to pay her respects, without exception.
The current Duke of Antai, Xu Huaian, is the grandson of Mrs. Xu. He is kneeling respectfully in front of Mrs. Xu, not daring to breathe.
"Grandma, my grandson has realized his mistake!"
An Taigong knelt for a long time, feeling that his knees were going numb. He still didn't wait for Mrs. Xu's response, so he could only admit his mistake again.
"What's wrong?"
Mrs. Xu finally spoke.
"My grandson should not take it upon himself to contact Princess Yan!"
An Taigong was really regretful at this moment.
He never thought that Princess Yan would be so bold and would take advantage of King Yan's only son. Of course, what he didn't expect was that King Yan was so merciless and didn't care about the Xu family's face that he imprisoned Princess Yan directly.
"madness!"
Mrs. Xu shouted sharply.
When An Taigong heard Mrs. Xu's scolding, he trembled again and said hurriedly: "Please teach me, grandma!"
"I thought you understood!"
"This is how I overcame all opinions. I even expelled your second uncle from the Xu Mansion and asked you to inherit the title of An Taigong. Who would have thought that you are getting more and more stupid!"
"Princess Yan is the daughter of my Xu family. If Prince Yan treats her like this, where will he put my Xu family?"
"Although Rou Niang and Nizi made mistakes, it was not a big mistake. At this time, what you should do is not to admit your mistake to King Yan and apologize, but to make the decision for Rou Niang!"
"If our Xu family can't even protect the married girl, how can we live up to the name of Xu family and Haiyan family?"
"But what did you idiot do?"
Mrs. Xu suddenly stood up and shouted, "Come here!"
The two women who were guarding the door immediately came in, each as strong as an ox.
"An Taigong has insulted the family tradition. He will be punished with a rod for thirty years and he will have to face the wall in the ancestral hall for half a month!"
"Grandma...?!"
An Taigong was stupid at that time. He made such a small mistake, thirty yuan, and still had to go to the ancestral hall for half a month? (End of chapter)
