Gu Zizhong listened carefully to her mother's words and guarded at home.

One day later, Zhu Wangye returned home, and Gu Wangye also returned to Jinling.

And Gu Shizi is also back.

Gu Zizhong knew about it, and he was very excited, and he said that he would go home and have a look.

Gu Shizi was tidying up in the yard.

When he came back from the capital, he didn't bring back much, but a bunch of books.

Gu Zi returned home, and happened to see his brother cleaning up broken books in the yard.

She couldn't control her emotions, her nose was sore, and she laughed, and at the same time tears fell like beans.

Gu Shizi's ears moved, and when he raised his head again, he saw his sister crying and running towards him.

He wasn't ready, and his sister had already thrown herself into his arms.

Gu Zizhong sobbed in his arms, letting his tears sway on his brother's shirt.

Gu Shizi touched his sister's long hair and smiled: "You kid, why did you cry suddenly?

Gu Zizhong raised his head, thumped and pounded his chest, choked up and laughed: "I thought you weren't coming back, you stayed so well in the capital, why did you come back?"

Gu Shizi was very aggrieved, crying with a sad face, and said, "How did you stay? I'm really tired." In the days when the emperor was critically ill, hundreds of recitals were handed over every day, and the people in our cabinet had to read them in a period of time. Do you think I'm going to the capital to enjoy the flowers?"

Garrulous.

Gu Zizhong shook his chest and drooped, and said, "As far as you know, flamboyant tongue." ”

As soon as he spoke, Gu Zizhong couldn't help but laugh.

It's the kind of laugh that gets angry but is helpless.

Gu Shizi was serious: "But I'll tell you the truth, several of us don't know what to do." In the days you sent me letters, my whole body was going to blow up. You've been urging me all day long to come back. But I really can't come back. ”

Gu Zizhong complained again, and it was useless to complain about his brother again.

She didn't say anything more, just shook her head, thumped and thumped at his chest, and then stared at his face for a long time before finally saying, "You've lost weight." ”

Gu Shizi said with a smile: "It's normal to lose weight, who made me work all day?"

She suddenly saw that behind her brother, Li Nanyu was standing and staring at the two of them.

She quickly got up and said, "Brother, sister-in-law is staring at you." ”

Gu Shizi looked back.

Li Nanyu came over with Baoyu in her arms: "Shiziye, I listened to your words and took care of Baoyu." ”

Gu Shizi hugged Baoyu and laughed.

The father and son haven't seen each other for many days, and they still miss each other.

The family went home, and in the evening, the family had a meal.

Gu Wangye said: "Dog, does the cabinet still want you?"

Gu Shizi shook his head: "No, I came back on my own initiative." I can't stay in the Cabinet anymore. Now that the cabinet is divided into several factions, I am caught in the middle of them, unable to move, and very uncomfortable. I'm afraid that before the new little emperor ascends the throne, I'll be pushed out of the cabinet. Rather than that, I'd better come back on my own. ”

Gu Wang Ye sighed and said, "We have lost control of the imperial court. And to tell the truth, the Queen Mother asked us to help at this time, let me be the auxiliary minister, and let the dog be in the cabinet, this is to use us as a shield. People with the local surname Zhu will turn their attention to us. We can't afford to lose this. Come back, just shrink in Jinling, and don't go anywhere. ”

No matter how good the court is, it is not as good as the family.

Gu Zizhong sighed and said, "I originally thought that a few of us would have a good future." Alas......"

Gu Shizi was full of gratitude to his sister: "Sister, if it weren't for my brother-in-law's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to enter the cabinet." ”

Gu Zizhong was pleased.

Gu Wangye said: "Let's not go anywhere first, just stay at home." Dog, tomorrow you will go to Zhu's mansion to find Zhu Changxi and follow him. ”

Gu Shizi was very willing.

Gu Zizhong was also very willing.

When she returned to Zhu's house that night, she discussed this matter with Brother Zishan.

Zhu Changxi did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.

Of course, my brother has to help, there is nothing to say.

Gu Zizhong asked in particular: "Brother Zishan, where have you been in the past two days? ”

Zhu Changxi talked about the coastal disaster area.

It was still the Yangtze River that caused a flood.

This year, Daming was full of disasters and disasters, earthquakes and floods.

The world is not peaceful, which means that there is something wrong with the emperor.

The dragon veins are not pure.

Now it seems that it has been fulfilled.

As soon as the emperor died, the world was in chaos.

Gu Zizhong was concerned about Brother Zishan's achievements.

Zhu Changxi said: "Our entire Jiangsu has no problem now. Let me tell you, if it weren't for the donation of the Jiangnan gentry, we wouldn't be where we are today. So I must thank the gentry of Jiangnan. We need mercenaries to respect themselves now, ignore the imperial court, and ignore the other princes surnamed Zhu, just stay in Jiangsu, and don't go anywhere. ”

Gu Zizhong was worried: "I heard that Yan Pingnan has recently gone to the coast with soldiers and horses, and you two may be able to meet it." ”

Zhu Changxi is not afraid, he is afraid that the two of them will not be able to touch it.

He rubbed his hands and said, "If I didn't have the power in my hands, would I be afraid of Yan Pingnan?" Let him come over, I really want to compete with him." ”

Brother Zishan is saying stupid things again.

Gu Zizhong smiled and shook his head.

Zhu Changxi called several brothers over.

Among them, Zhu Ziqin is not easy to deal with, after all, Zhu Ziqin's home is still far away in the north.

However, a few of them didn't speak, but Zhu Ziqin took the lead in expressing his position: "My father said that if we want mercenaries here to be self-respecting and self-reliant, he is willing to support it." ”

Wu Yicheng said: "Li Caier is still in Chengde, she is alone with the child in her parents' house, it is not easy." I thought to myself about taking the two of them. ”

This is a good method, Gu Zizhong immediately agreed.

Zhu Ziqin said: "I'm not afraid that they will hit the north, anyway, there is no one in my house." My father is also a well-known figure in the court, and ordinary people dare not touch my father. ”

Marquis Wuqing is also famous in Chengde.

Gu Zizhong said: "It's better to be careful in everything, otherwise we will invite your family back, and when we get to our side, we will be much more relieved." ”

She didn't want to pass up any chance to build a relationship.

Didn't Gu's mother always think about trying to win over the relationship before?

Zhu Ziqin was quite moved.

He gathered all his men and horses and trained them more.

Not to mention anything else, just these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are the strength of the Zhu family and the Gu family in Jinling.
