Chapter 2 Is the princess good-looking?

Li Jie felt that she really responded to the saying, "Unlucky mother opened the door for unlucky, and unlucky is home."

After finally traveling through time, he became Li Shanchang's grandson. Next year, Li Shanchang's whole family will be killed by the whole family. His grandson will definitely not escape this knife, which made him want to yell at the sky: "God, are you playing with me?"

"Cousin, what month is it now?" After a while, Li Jie asked weakly. The facts were powerless. He only asked God to give him more time to find a way to save his life.

"It's winter month now, and it will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days." Liu Yi didn't know why Li Jie asked this, but he answered truthfully.

Li Jie almost cried when he heard this. He remembered that Li Shanchang's family was killed in May of the 23rd year of Hongwu. It was almost December now. In other words, he still had half a year to do so.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yi asked worriedly when he saw Li Jie's expression was wrong. He was really afraid that Li Jie's old illness would recur. If he went crazy again, it would be troublesome.

"I'm fine, cousin, please calm me down!" Li Dao covered his face with his hands and rubbed it hard a few times to calm himself down.

Liu Yi didn't dare to stimulate Li Jie too much, so he sat patiently on the side and waited.

Li Jie was confused at the beginning and couldn't think calmly, but in the end he forced himself to calm down, carefully analyzed the current situation, and finally came to a conclusion.

There are only two ways in front of Li Jie now. The first one is to accept your fate. While there is still half a year left, I will eat all the delicious food, drink all the delicious food, and play all the fun food. Half a year later, the family was pushed to the entrance of the vegetable market and cut off their heads with a "click". It is said that as long as the knife is fast enough, the head will not die immediately. At that time, I may be able to verify it myself.

As for the second path, it is that Li Jie took advantage of his time traveler and used the past six months to change his fate and escaped from Zhu Yuanzhang, a skinned maniac.

Li Jie carefully considered both paths, and finally felt that the first path was more attractive to him. It was not that he didn't want to survive, but that the second path was too difficult.

According to historical records, Li Shanchang was implicated by the Hu Weiyong case, but in fact, it had been a full ten years since the Hu Weiyong case when Li Shanchang was killed.

In addition, when the Hu Weiyong case broke out, Li Shanchang's younger brother Li Cunyi and Hu Weiyong were relatives and participated in the Hu Weiyong case. However, even so, Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill Li Cunyi, nor did he blame Li Shanchang for it. As a result, it was not until ten years later that Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly attacked and said that Li Shanchang was involved in Hu Weiyong's rebellion and ordered the entire Li family to be executed. This made no sense.

In other words, the killing of Li Shanchang was actually involved in some power struggles in the court, and these power struggles had already aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction, which made him feel like killing. This was the main reason why Li Shanchang caused trouble.

Li Jie couldn't get involved in the battle in the court, even if he was Li Shanchang's grandson, let alone Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a ruthless man from the bottom of society and became an emperor. It was hard to change the decision of such a person.

Of course, there is not no hope for survival from Zhu Yuanzhang. For example, although Li Shanchang's family was killed, Li Shanchang had a son who survived because his son married a princess. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was cruel and ruthless, he was still very kind to his children. So if Li Jie wanted to survive, there would be a ready-made path.

"Cousin, is it easy to marry a princess?" Li Jie finally raised his head and asked Liu Yi seriously.

"Why do you ask this question? Do you have any ideas about the princess?" Liu Yi also asked in a confused look. Li Jie's thinking was too jumpy, and he felt that he could not keep up.

"I have some idea. I am the prime minister's grandson after all. It's not too much to marry a princess?" Li Jie asked tentatively.

"The princess was not married, there was only Princess Shang, and there was no saying that she would marry the princess." Liu Yi corrected.

"Okay, is the princess so pretty?" Li Jie was kind and thoughtful, but why did this sentence sound a little wrong?

"Cousin, you're thinking too much. Although Your Majesty has many princesses, you want more princesses. Your fifth uncle has already given him a princess, so it's basically impossible for the Li family to have a second princess, let alone you are not the eldest grandson of the legitimate family, but the concubine's side branch..."

Following Liu Yi's explanation, Li Jie realized that his father Li Zhu was not Li Shanchang's legitimate son, but the concubine's son born to his concubine. During this period of the Ming Dynasty, the concubine's son was not at high a high status in the family, so Li Zhu was not usually favored by Li Shanchang.

As for Li Jie's desire to marry a princess, let alone the gap in identity is too big. Not to mention him, even his father Li Zhu is not qualified. Only his fifth uncle, who was born in the legitimate state, is qualified.

"No wonder I was so seriously ill, but my grandfather didn't come at all. I guess he didn't remember my grandson anymore, right?" Li Jie pondered for a moment and said to himself again.

"You are wrong. I believe your grandfather must remember you because your illness was caused by him." Liu Yi sighed when he heard Li Jie's words.

"He caused my illness?" Li Jie again showed a surprised expression.

"This matter is a long story, and it also involves several elders in your family, so it is not convenient for my aunt to tell you, so I can only tell you..."

Liu Yi sighed again, and then told Li Jie some things.

Li Jie's father, Li Zhu, was the son of Li Shanchang's illegitimate son, and ranked third in the family. Because he was a illegitimate son and Li Jie's grandmother died early, Li Zhu was not valued at home. He was even often bullied at home when he was young. It was not until he married Li Jie's mother when he became an adult, and then moved outside to live, which became much quieter.

However, at the end of last year, it happened to be Li Shanchang's 74th birthday, so Li Zhu took Li Jie back to Li's house to celebrate his birthday. At the birthday party, he happened to meet Li Zhu's second brother Li Li.

Li Li is a legitimate child. He has always looked down on Li Zhu, who was born in illegitimate child. He bullied Li Zhu a lot at the beginning. During this birthday party, he was also sarcastic about Li Zhu. Originally, Li Zhu didn't want to cause trouble, so he pretended that Li Li didn't hear what he said.

But Li Zhu forgot that Li Jie next to him was young and energetic. Seeing that his father was bullied, he immediately slapped and angrily criticized Li Li. Li Li was not arguing with Li Jie, but he was unreasonable and directed his three sons to come forward and beat Li Jie. Even when Li Zhu stepped forward to fight, he was punched several times by his nephew and his nose was bleeding.

Of course, Li Shanchang was very angry when such a thing happened at the birthday party. Logically speaking, as his father and grandfather, even if he couldn't do anything, he could not be too partial. After all, this was wrong with Li Li, and he was beaten up by the people. Even if he was in trouble, they were still in the wrong hands.

However, Li Shanchang only had the legitimate son of Li Li, who treated Li Zhu, a illegitimate son, as a slave. He immediately ignored Li Jie and directly arrested him for his master's law, because he was wronged and contradicted his elders. However, Li Li's son beat Li Zhu, but he turned a blind eye.

In the end, the poor Li Jie was beaten twenty times. Li Zhu felt sorry for his son and leaned on Li Jie to beat him for him. However, Li Shanchang was not soft-hearted at all. He beat them together, and finally expelled them from the birthday party. Even the birthday gift prepared by Li Zhu was thrown out. It can be said that he was extremely heartless, and he almost expelled them from the house and cut off their relationship.

Li Jie is the only son of Li Zhu and his wife. He is usually favored. In addition, Li Jie is very smart. He entered the Imperial College to study at a young age. He is also quite talented among young people, so he is a little arrogant, but this time he suffered humiliation at his grandfather's house. This blow is almost devastating for a young man.

Actually, it’s normal to think about it. Li Jie is only fifteen years old this year. In the words of later generations, he is in adolescence and his physiological and psychological are not perfect. Now he is mentally stimulated so much that he cannot bear it at all. There is also a special disease in medicine called schizophrenia, which is a psychological disease unique to adolescents.

In this case, Li Jie went crazy shortly after returning home, which is the madness mentioned by Doctor Xu. Li Jie, who is usually very smart, can no longer read books. He is usually in a daze, or sleeps with his head covering, his clothes are disheveled, and he is filthy, or laughs in the mirror, talks to himself, and sometimes even hits and smashes people when he is crazy.

As for what happened after Li Jie was crazy, there is no need to explain in detail. Anyway, just today, Li Jie went crazy and ran out again, but accidentally fell into the river and drowned. Then Li Jie crossed over.

After listening to the above content, Li Jie showed a thoughtful expression again. He did not expect that the situation in his home was so complicated, and he did not expect that his predecessor was driven crazy by Li Shanchang.

However, no matter how bad the relationship between his family and Li Shanchang is, it cannot change the blood relationship, so after half a year, I am afraid that I can't escape that knife.
