From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang

This child named Li Pennu was a very ordinary farm boy in every aspect, and there was nothing special about him at this time. Yang Xingmi's insistence on adopting him made everyone confused.

Perhaps it is indeed what he said, because seeing this child reminds him of his miserable childhood, or the sympathy of the same people who have fallen from the world.

In short, this lucky child left the prisoner-of-war camp and followed Yang Xingmi back to the Palace of Prince Hongnong in the Gaomen Courtyard of Yangzhou, where he started a brand new life.

On the way back to Yangzhou, Yang Xingmi and Li Pennu rode in the same carriage and chatted while walking. The two gradually became familiar with each other from the beginning and started talking about more and more topics.

Hearty laughter could be heard from time to time in the carriage.

When lunch time came, the guards brought the food and delivered it to the carriage.

Yang Xingmi brought a bowl of rice to Li Pennu: "You must be hungry. Come, eat first."

Li Pennu no longer had the restraint he had when he first got in the car. He took the bowl and started to devour it. It looked like he hadn't had a full meal in a long time.

Yang Xingmi said with concern: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, you will hurt your stomach by eating like this. In fact, when I see the way you eat, I remember that when I was your age, I also devoured it like this. Just like you."

Speaking of this, Yang Xingmi couldn't help but laugh.

Li Pennu stopped his chopsticks and said, "My lord, were you hungry when you were a child?"

Yang Xingmi smiled and said: "Of course I'm hungry. I'm hungry every day. By the way, didn't I tell you that from now on you will call me godfather, not prince, remember?"

"Remember, godfather."

"You don't know. At that time, my parents were both dead, just like you are now. I was all alone, just like a weed. There was a war outside, and people were killing people and setting fires everywhere. In order to survive and have something to live for, We have no choice but to wander around and escape."

Yang Xingmi joked: "You are luckier than me. At least there is a temple to take you in. At that time, I could only rely on myself."

"What then?"

"Later, I was robbed by bandits."

Li Pennu looked nervous: "They didn't hurt you, did they?"

"No, I beat them up. Later, the bandits invited me up the mountain for dinner, hahaha..."

Yang Xingmi couldn't help laughing proudly when talking about the past events.

"Wow, godfather is so powerful. He can defeat the bandits. You are so powerful. How old were you back then." Li Pennu had an expression of admiration on his face.

"I'm the same age as you, and I'm still a teenager, but I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, so I'm not afraid of them."

Li Pennu blurted out: "That's awesome, godfather, I also want to learn kung fu, can you teach me?"

Yang Xingmi shook his head: "No, now you have to learn cultural knowledge first, literature first and then martial arts, otherwise you will be like your godfather and become a martial artist who can't even come up with an idea when encountering things. How terrible that would be." "

"When you return to Yangzhou, you will first learn cultural knowledge from your brothers. When the time comes, your godfather will teach you kung fu, okay?"

Li Pennu lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

After returning to Yangzhou, Yang Xingmi took Li Pennu to meet the children in the palace.

In recent years, due to the relatively stable political situation in Huainan, Yang Xingmi was able to solve his life problems and married the sister of General Zhu Yanshou. In addition, as Yang Xingmi was granted the title of King Hongnong and his status became more noble, there were naturally more women around him. He is no longer the country bumpkin he used to be. Now he has transformed into a local emperor in the Huainan area, and he has more and more titles on his head:

The military governor of Huainan, the military governor of Ningguo, the commander of all camps in the southeast of the Tang Dynasty, and the king of Hongnong.

He has successfully squeezed into the VIP Platinum Exclusive Member Club of Fan Town in the late Tang Dynasty and became an upper-class successful person at that time. This is definitely a very, very inspirational diaosi counterattack success story.

But now, not only did he have power, status, and territory, he even had a bunch of sons, all waiting in line to inherit the throne.

As of now, he has four sons (there will be several more later), namely Yang Wo, Yang Wei (also known as Yang Longyan), Yang Pu, and Yang Meng. Among them, Yang Wo is the eldest son. He has already been established as the crown prince of Prince Hongnong and the legal heir to the future throne.

The four brothers were playing cards at the moment. When they heard that their father had returned from a business trip to Haozhou, they all jumped up and ran to the study in a swarm. Not a single word of the homework left by their father before he left was written. Well, it's over now.

No one thought he would come back so soon.

Good guy, I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets one by one to find textbooks, and quickly sharpened my sword before the battle, hoping to cope with it.

The four boys shook their heads and pretended to read. After a while, Yang Xingmi walked in pulling Li Pennu.

Seeing that his sons were studying hard, Yang Xingmi showed a happy smile on his face. He waved his hand to indicate to his sons to pause, and he wanted to introduce someone to everyone.

"When I come back this time, I will bring you a younger brother. From now on, you will be a family. When you are together, you must love each other and not cause trouble. Do you hear me?"

The four boys all stretched their necks to look behind Yang Xingmi. Yang Xingmi pulled Li Pennu to his side and introduced: "He is your new brother. His name is Li Pennu now. I will give him a new name in the future. Just study with you."

Yang Wo made a face and whispered to Yang Pu beside him: "How can five people play cards?"

This was actually heard by Yang Xingmi. Yang Xingmi glared at him and asked, "Yang Wo, what are you muttering about?"

"Ah, no, no, I didn't mutter anything..." Yang Wo was startled and felt a little guilty.

Yang Xingmi thought for a while and said to Li Pennu: "From now on, you can call me Yang Bin and study with the four of them."

"Thank you godfather." Li Pennu, er, Yang Bin handed over his hand and thanked him.

In this way, the orphan Li Pennu became Yang Bin, the adopted son of King Hongnong. Things in this world are so wonderful. You never know whether you will face heaven or hell in the next second.

Seeing Yang Xingmi and Yang Bin talking, Yang Wo and others wanted to sneak away quietly. As soon as they took a step, they heard Yang Xingmi calling their names.

"You guys come here, let's talk about business now. Come on, let me check my homework."

Upon hearing this, several people were instantly petrified...

Yang Xingmi took out a book, minding his own business, which was the "Book of Filial Piety".

He turned to the first page and read, "The Master said: Filial piety is the foundation of virtue and the source of teaching. Yang Wo, memorize the next sentence."

Yang Wo was dumbfounded.

Yang Xingmi got a little angry and changed another book, which was "Book of Rites".

"A gentleman is polite and does not seek to be vulgar. Yang Wei, next sentence."

Yang Wei was dumbfounded.

Yang Xingmi was really angry. He glanced over and saw that Yang Pu and Yang Meng were also dumbfounded.

"I'm so mad at you, you bastards! Bring me the ruler, the expert method——"
