Zhu Changxi smiled, gently stroked her back twice, and said with a smile: "Isn't this to prepare for the future?"

Gu Zi said solemnly: "The affairs of the imperial court are naturally managed by the people of the imperial court. You don't have to worry about it. You have already recruited tens of thousands of troops for the imperial court, and you have also established a sailor, so we don't have to be afraid of fighting the Japanese people in the future. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Aren't you afraid that Yan Pingnan will get in the way?"

When Zhu Changxi heard this, he was very disdainful when he even "cut" it: "Give him ten dares, he dares to make a hindrance." Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fact that we hadn't won it, we would have already earned the credit for fighting for the Japanese people. Last time we went out to sea with our sailors to exterminate pirates. The first time we won the battle, who knew that the emperor would let us withdraw later. ”

He was still very unwilling, and this was a good time to make contributions.

Gu Zi poured his cold water on him: "The emperor built a water division to increase the strength of the imperial court. What the emperor can control is the capital, and as for the rest of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings are all mercenaries and self-respecting. It's not like you're unaware of this. If you want me to say it a few times, you will understand, don't you have to be greedy for merit?"

Zhu Changxi closed her eyes, still perfunctory to her: "I know, I know." Let's not talk about that. ”

The merit is high, and the emperor is already unhappy.

What the imperial court needs is a military general who is loyal to the emperor, and does not need warriors who can fight well.

Gu Zizhong said helplessly: "Now the emperor is the most insecure, we Jinling must speak to the emperor." You have already built a water division, and you have shared so many worries for the emperor. So, your mission is done. Nothing else, it has nothing to do with you. ”

Zhu Changxi thought about it, but he was quite disappointed.

After thinking about it, he still raised his head and said very sincerely: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to personally train the sailor I brought out." In summer, the seaside is at high tide, which is suitable for military training. In addition, when the tide is high, it can simulate sudden weather conditions overseas. It's not a bad thing for us to know more. ”

The two of them didn't talk about the topic at all.

Gu Zizhong was helpless, pushed him away, pointed to the outside and said, "It's very chaotic outside now." The sailor will only become the emperor's bodyguard, and will not go to sea to fight against the Japanese invaders. You don't listen to what I say, you can read the book by yourself, and leave me alone. ”

Zhu Changxi wanted to comfort her, but she didn't think that the more she comforted, the more angry she became.

He chased him out, and said to Gu Zizhong that he was good and bad, and then persuaded him to come back.

As soon as he returned to the house, Zhu Changxi hurriedly threw away "The Art of War".

She took good care of Gu Zizhong at home for several days.

Until the emperor came to the holy decree, saying that Zhu Changxi should rest well and no longer have to worry about court affairs.

Gu Zizhong was relieved.

The emperor is still sensible.

On the one hand, Zhu Changxi breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the court anymore.

On the other hand, he also sighed a little, after all, he established the sailor, but he couldn't lead the troops himself.

A military general like him is like a soldier like his own brother.

He's been resting at home for two days.

So all day long, he basically sleeps in bed.

One day or two days, if it goes on like this, Gu Zizhong is also annoyed.

She was also quite helpless in her heart, Brother Zishan should do something good, right?

Brother Zishan didn't do anything, and she wasn't happy.

Marquis Wu Qing sent someone over again, saying that he was inviting Zhu Changxi to the mansion for a gathering, and there was also the prefect.

and the magistrate below, too.

With so many characters present, Zhu Changxi is just one general.

People came to pass the news and reached Gu Zizhong's ears.

Gu Zizhong was embarrassed.

Brother Zishan hasn't woken up yet.

She thought for a moment and said, "I see." As for whether to go or not, let's talk about it when Brother Zishan is rested. ”

People are very embarrassed.

Gu Zizhong rewarded a tael of silver, and the people were willing to leave.

Gu Zizhong was still worried in his heart.

Something like this is quite critical, and if you don't get it right, you're not good at popularity.

Gu Zizhong is also worried about Brother Zishan, he is resting at home, can he go?

That night, she told Brother Zishan about it.

Zhu Changxi didn't have much reaction after hearing this.

He said it was okay to go, and it was okay not to go.

Gu Zizhong originally felt quite embarrassed, but he didn't expect Zhu Changxi to return this problem to her again.

She straightened up and said, "Okay, I'll excuse you." Hello rest and don't go anywhere. ”

Zhu Changxi yawned again.

Gu Zi looked at him like that, as if he couldn't wake up.

She was upset when she saw Brother Zishan now.

Early in the morning, when she was chatting with Li Caier, she talked about this matter.

Li Cai'er was still surprised when she heard this: "I'm afraid that such a big banquet won't happen once in a few years, right?" He gets to know a lot of people at the banquet. If he is familiar with all the people here, wouldn't it be easy for him to do anything in the future?"

She had a point.

Gu Zizhong changed his mind again, and went back to persuade Brother Zishan, saying that he would let him go to this banquet.

Zhu Changxi said that he was not tired, it was not time.

As soon as he rested, he realized how sleepy he was, so he slept for several days, and he still hadn't woken up much.

He was all uncomfortable, where did he have the heart to go to any more banquets?

He wanted to quit.

Gu Zizhong was indeed embarrassed for Brother Zishan.

But she didn't want to lose the opportunity to make friends.

She still persuaded Brother Zishan to let him go.

But he didn't want to go.

It was Aunt Cui who interceded: "General Zhu, don't blame the old man for being too talkative." If the emperor hadn't asked you to come here to rest, I'm afraid you wouldn't have invited so many people. The prefect of the county, the prefect, and the Marquis of Wu Qing, don't you see so many big people? If there is something to do in the future, won't they do it if you say a word?"

Aunt Cui has a point.

Zhu Changxi thought about it, but still listened to Aunt Cui's words.

Aunt Cui said with a smile: "That's right, General Zhu, your martial arts are world-famous, you can dominate the imperial court, and now you have made so many friends, in the future, in our area, what do you want to say, what do you want to do, isn't it a matter of one sentence?"

Zhu Changxi also guessed that sooner or later he would go to guard Shanhaiguan again.

So after thinking about it, he readily agreed.

In the future, if he goes out of Jiayu Pass again, or Niangzi Pass to fight the Tatars, he can be regarded as having a basis here.

Isn't it easy to talk about those who borrow soldiers, food, and money?

He smiled, got up and went to prepare, preparing to go to the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion.
