Gu Zizhong had seen the power of King Kang Mian in his previous life.

So she is still resistant to King Kang.

But after a while, everything was too peaceful, and Gu Zizhong didn't think much about it.

The capital sent two elderly maids to Jinling to find Gu Zizhong.

Gu Zizhong received the two of them and called the two of them directly to the house.

The two maids were very concerned about Gu Zizhong, but the two maids had opinions on Gu Zizhong's current situation.

They first talked about the recent situation of the Queen Mother.

One of them said: "Today's Empress Dowager, but I am thinking about you." You gave birth to a child in Jinling, and you lived your own peaceful life. I think you're a little sorry for the Empress Dowager. ”

This tone of the people made Gu Zizhong speechless.

Gu Zizhong lowered his head and did not respond.

The other smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager thinks about you in her heart, so let the two sisters bring some food to the county lord, including pastries." The Queen Mother knew that your favorite thing to eat on weekdays, the county lord, was pastries, so she asked us to bring some more. ”

Gu Zi thanked them again.

The Empress Dowager is here to ask the teacher about the guilt.

No need for anyone to say it explicitly, Gu Zizhong already understood.

She waved at the two maids, and then was very sincere, and said: "You don't need to say more, I already understand the words of the Empress Dowager, don't worry, if something happens, I will definitely stand on the side of the Empress Dowager." ”

The Empress Dowager, the former Empress Dowager, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, she was older, but she watched the emperor ride the crane to the west.

Now that the dynasty is sluggish, there are not many relatives around the emperor.

The Empress Dowager is lonely, and she has to take her young grandchildren with her.

Whoever listens to this matter will not bear it.

What's more, Gu Zizhong, who was favored by the Empress Dowager?

Gu Zizhong agreed to others, invited them to dinner, entertained them, and sent them away, so that she could rest assured.

When Zhu Changxi went home, Gu Zizhong told him about it.

But he didn't think so.

Gu Zizhong pulled Brother Zishan's arm and said, "Don't take it seriously. We have to tighten the strings in our hearts at all times. What if the court needs us to come forward? What if the court needs us to take a stand? Do you want to be silent?"

Zhu Changxi was very impatient: "It's not that I answer disdainfully. Ever since I beat the Tartars away from outside the Great Wall, the affairs of the court, the matter of expressing one's position, have been around our ears. It's been so long, what can the imperial court do?"

Gu Zizhong also knew that the imperial court had been putting pressure on the Zhu family in Jinling.

But after all, this is the rule, and you can't help but abide by it.

Gu Zizhong still had to talk in Brother Zishan's ear.

Brother Zishan just didn't listen.

In the past two days, the governor also came to Zhu's house to look for them.

Now that Zhu Wangye is not at home, Zhu Changxi often goes to the barracks to deal with things.

Therefore, Gu Zi presided over it again at home.

The nurse is in the back of the three-entry house to retire.

Every time Gu Zizhong sees a guest, there are few people, so he is often so angry that he can't speak.

She was really annoyed to death.

The governor first sent a few officials.

Later, there were some concubines, and then later, Mrs. Liu, who was simply the governor, came.

Liu is an old slippery head.

Although Gu Zizhong has little contact with other people, he has also heard of other people's names, so he doesn't dare to underestimate them at all.

As soon as the Liu family entered the door, he gave Gu Zi a heavy dismissal.

Gu Zizhong almost couldn't catch this conversation.

Liu said: "Lord Gu, I should call you Mrs. Zhu, you also know that the current position of our Jinling is very embarrassing, the court has been newly reformed, and the personnel have been greatly changed." Our small city of Jinling has to rely on the imperial court. ”

Gu Zizhong grinned and said softly: "Xiaocheng, Jinling was originally Yingtianfu, and this was the capital of Emperor Hongwu when he founded the country. ”

The Liu family didn't mean this, and they didn't want to argue with Gu Zizhong.

So Liu just smiled and said, "Young lady, we are the emperor's favor." So let's think about the court. ”

Gu Zizhong didn't object, but just nodded and didn't argue.

She also knew that the barracks in Jinling had made the imperial court feel a disaster.

Especially the Empress Dowager, she was afraid that there would be some Ming army in the place, and then she would go to the capital and threaten the newly enthroned emperor.

Gu Zizhong knew that Brother Zishan, he was not the kind of person who rebelled.

But he's not the kind of person who wants to be doubted.

Brother Zishan knew that the court suspected him of rebellion, so he couldn't be angry in his heart?

Alas, Gu Zizhong didn't know how to answer, she just listened to Liu's words and nodded all the time, and then Liu's mouth was dry, and Gu Zizhong replied casually.

Liu stomped his foot in anger.

The guests were all gone, and Gu Zizhong thought to himself that he had to talk about this matter with Brother Zishan.

Zhu Changxi came back from the barracks, and Gu Zizhong told him this again.

He was even more impatient.

Gu Zizhong said: "Now that the governor has come to our house to knock on the side, the current situation has to let you make a decision, Brother Zishan." ”

Zhu Changxi didn't have much to do, so he had to agree.

After all, there are so many soldiers and horses in Jinling City, which is indeed a threat to the imperial court.

Zhu Changxi originally planned to use these soldiers and horses to protect the imperial court and protect the capital.

But he has 10,000 mouths now, and I'm afraid he can't say it clearly.

The best thing for him to do now is to quickly submit to the imperial court and return the military power to the hands of the military department.

However, Gu Zizhong knew that he handed over the military power to the military department Shangshu, but did not return it to the emperor.

The military department Shangshu is a treacherous person, maybe he colluded with Zhu Lequan.

In the end, if the military power is in the hands of Zhu Lequan again, then the court will be even worse.

The Empress Dowager sent letters to Jinling every once in a while, especially to Gu Zi.

And there have been some more people in Jinling City recently.

Those people are fresh faces, and they are usually idle, and they don't look at others right.

The Zhu family's eyeliner came back to report.

Zhu Changxi had already guessed that those people were Jinyiwei.

Gu Zizhong was heartbroken by the imperial court.

I really didn't expect the imperial court to be so suspicious of the Zhu family and the Gu family in Jinling.

Their Jinling Zhu family and Gu family were originally loyal to the imperial court, but the imperial court had always been suspicious of them.

Gu Zi was seriously sad, and Zhu Changxi was even more sad.

When he is in a bad mood, he tends to drink alone.

Gu Shizi came over to accompany him when he was fine.

The two brothers drank sullenly.
