Chapter 337: Strange Letters
Zhu Wangye smiled slightly, sighed and shook his head, lowered his head and continued to drink his soup.
Gu Zizhong looked at Zhu Shizi, pointed to some details on the letter, and said to Zhu Shizi: "Yan Pingnan, a person like him is too much to do. How could he say such a thing to the emperor?"
Gu Wang Ye and Gu Mu on the side stared at her with wide eyes, really wondering what was going on.
Gu Zizhong pointed at Zhu Shizi while getting angry, and after a while, he picked up the bowl and took a sip.
Zhu Shizi shook his head and said, "This is just a little trick, don't worry too much, county lord." ”
Gu Zizhong said to his parents: "Dad, mother, he Yan Pingnan knows about me and the Queen Mother." He went to cry to the emperor. ”
Gu Shizi on the side was drinking deliciously, and when he heard his sister's words, he didn't care much, and said with some disdain: "What is this, what can he tell the emperor about the flowers?"
Li Nanyu said: "Yan Pingnan has a lot of eyes, maybe something will happen!"
Gu Shizi thought for a while and said, "During the period of time I stayed in the palace, I also saw Yan Pingnan's work, but he couldn't do anything. I've seen him talk to people about something, trying to fool them into doing something, but none of them succeeded. ”
When he speaks, he is straightforward and gives others a sense of security.
In that case, there's no need to worry too much.
Gu Shizi put down the bowl, clapped his hands, and said, "Sister, if you have something to do, run to Cining Palace." And you're not from the palace yet. It's a matter of people who talk a lot about this kind of thing. And Yan Pingnan always likes to make trouble. Therefore, it is also destined for you to fall into his hands. ”
Gu Zizhong was really a little worried.
She said suspiciously: "But the last time the two holy decrees were made, wouldn't it really be that Guo Gongzi deliberately changed it?"
Zhu Shizi smiled sweetly: "No, Guo Gongzi won't do such a thing." ”
Everyone will believe that this kind of thing can only be done by the emperor alone.
The emperor wanted Gu Zizhong and Zhu Shizi to go home, so he came up with such a thing.
Gu Shizi said: "The names of Zhu Shizi are written in the two holy decrees, this is the emperor's original intention. What does Yan Pingnan want to do, he can't disobey the holy order, right? Besides, this is the emperor's words, no matter how much Yan Pingnan wants to mess around, can he still mess around with the emperor?"
The place that Gu Zizhong is worried about now is the Holy Decree.
She really didn't know if this holy decree was written by the emperor.
So she didn't dare to jump to conclusions.
Zhu Wangye sighed: "Zhu Lequan is about to take troops from the emperor and go to the shore of Zhejiang and Taiwan to fight against the Japanese. So why do their father and son have to provoke some right and wrong, in order to attract the attention of the people around them. So I also think that what Yan Pingnan said is not a score. And don't take it to heart. ”
The words have been spoken, and the letters have been sent, how can Gu Zizhong and Zhu Changxi not take it to heart?
Zhu Shizi said: "What if the emperor changes his mind? What if the emperor summons Gu County Lord back to the palace because of this matter? After staying with the Queen Mother for a long time, most of the things in the palace will be known to Gu County Lord." ”
What he meant, Gu Zizhong, had already understood.
Gu Zizhong can know what he should know. But what if she didn't know what she shouldn't know?
Although the emperor has no ability to govern the Ming Dynasty, he is outstanding in terms of intrigue.
For the emperor, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one.
So thinking of this, Gu Zizhong was about to tremble.
She was really afraid that the emperor would change his mind temporarily.
was originally excited to go back to Jinling to get married, but at this time her heart became out of character.
The bowl that was originally held was also put down, and Gu Zizhong groaned for a long time, not speaking or eating.
Zhu Shizi had a lot of appetite, and persuaded while eating: "It's all a trivial matter, don't take it to heart, county lord." Eat it. ”
Gu Zi said heavily: "I offended the county lord of Yongyang, and I was already offended when I was in Paiyun Palace. And I didn't care about the feelings of the county lord of Yongyang, and I kept going to get close to the queen mother. So I ...... I know what I should know, maybe there are things I shouldn't know......"
Gu Shizi sighed and said: "Sister, you are too careful, what else can the emperor do with you?" He has already let you back, and it is impossible to deliberately call you back." ”
Gu Wangye thought for a while and said, "Zizhong, I seem to remember, when our family was about to leave yesterday, Wu Yicheng came and wanted to look for you, but he didn't find you, so he came to look for the two of us." He told us that the emperor couldn't bear Zhu Lequan and their father and son anymore. If it weren't for the emperor's need to let them go to Zhejiang and Taiwan to defend against the Japanese invaders, they would definitely not let Zhu Lequan's father and son open their mouths. ”
What do you mean?
Gu Wang Ye continued: "The emperor wanted Zhu Lequan and Yan Pingnan to go to Zhejiang, Taiwan, and Fujian to defend against the Japanese invaders, so he promised them any request. However, the two fathers and sons first demanded 300,000 taels of silver from the imperial court on the grounds of insufficient military spending. ”
300,000 taels, poor crazy, right?
How many years have Zhu Lequan and Yan Pingnan occupied Liangguang, who dares to provoke Zhu Lequan in the entire south?
No matter how poor anyone is, Zhu Lequan will not be poor.
Zhu Shizi was straightforward and said, "Nonsense, right? Zhu Lequan has no less than twenty or thirty residences in Liangguang. ”
Gu Wang Ye smiled awkwardly and said, "Doesn't this mean that he Zhu Lequan opened his mouth widely? The emperor knows in his heart, who among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty does not know in his heart? But there is no way. The emperor needed to let them lead the troops, and he had to promise them. ”
The imperial treasury is empty, where is the money for them?
I don't know how much more taxes the emperor will collect from all over the country.
Gu Mu sighed and said: "Instead of this, it is better to let Zhu Shizi lead the troops, Zhu Shizi is no worse than Yan Pingnan to lead the troops!"
Hearing his future mother-in-law say this, Zhu Changxi was very pleased, and his face was already red.
Zhu Wangye shook his head: "No, although we have talents to protect the country in our family, we have no soldiers." Let's put it this way, this time the imperial court let Zhu Lequan and Yan Pingnan father and son lead the troops, not only the imperial army, but also Zhu Lequan and Yan Pingnan's own private army. Otherwise, relying only on the imperial court's soldiers and horses is not enough. ”
Oh!
The emperor is borrowing someone else's hand to expel the Japanese invaders.
But how could Zhu Lequan be so stupid?
In a battle with the Japanese Bandits, a lot of people on his side died, and nothing good could be done.
It is estimated that the emperor also has his own small calculations, and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to consume the forces of the local vassal kings and weaken their strength.
The Queen Mother has always been worried about the rebellion of the local vassal kings, so the Queen Mother and the emperor are also using this trick to cut the tide. 17010
