At first glance, he didn't treat her as his own.

She couldn't get over it in her heart, and said stiffly: "I am also a member of the Zhu family." Brother Zishan, you actually think of me like that. What am I not strong? What am I that makes you feel naïve?"

He said no, no, but in fact...... That's what he thought.

Gu Zizhong is a woman, can Zhu Changxi use her to block the front?

Zhu Changxi blinked, and his brows were wrinkled: "You are my wife, not my guard." I care about you, is that wrong?"

Gu Zizhong heard what he said, and he was a little happy, but he couldn't help it.

Brother Zishan is good to her.

But......

She was actually just thinking that he would tell her the truth, and she would help with the advice.

She stared at Brother Zishan fixedly, took a look, grabbed his arm, was very pleased, and said with a smile: "Brother Zishan, I heard from my father-in-law that something is going to happen in the court." I know I'm a woman, but at home, in the court, no matter what, as long as you don't understand, you should tell me. ”

Zhu Changxi thought for a while and said, "You're pregnant, I don't want you to be angry." ”

She pouted at him.

The most unbearable thing for him is that she is playing a temper.

After settling down, Zhu Changxi turned his head and stared at her: "Actually, it's nothing, it's Yan Pingnan's business." Don't you know? The governor of Liangguang and Zhu Lequan there have always been collusions, and there is also King Kang Mian in the southwest and the king of Liaodong in the north, so these characters are not easy to mess with. Now the emperor is a bit of a hollow out. There are many things in the cabinet that are directly approved and implemented without going through the emperor. The emperor is stuffed in the palace and doesn't know anything about the outside world. Moreover, Yan Pingnan has been to the court several times, and his words have become more and more wild, but the emperor actually held back. So ......"

She answered him: "So the court is not peaceful, right?"

Zhu Changxi spread his hands: "Yes, I don't even know what to do next." I'd like to leave, but ...... I...... The emperor did not clearly state the situation. Moreover, our Jinling Zhu and Gu families have made it clear that they must be loyal to the imperial court. If any of the vassal kings wants to rebel, we will charge into battle. You are my family, and I am not at peace when you are in the capital. In case of a fight......"

He didn't finish his sentence, but stretched out his hand and gestured.

She stared at him and laughed.

He laughed too.

The two of them smiled at each other, and then he relieved his mood: "So, I'll send you out first, if anyone dares to rebel, our Jinling Zhu family swore to protect the imperial court and protect the emperor, I rolled up my sleeves and fought with the rebels." ”

Gu Zizhong is no longer angry about this.

She understands Brother Zishan's intentions.

She also understands her own identity, she is just an ordinary woman now, not a queen, let alone a queen mother, and she doesn't have so much power in her hands.

She still persuaded Brother Zishan: "There are still quite a lot of our people in the capital." The ...... of the military department is still in the book."

"Come on. Zhu Changxi was quite angry, "The last time I handed over the military power, the secretary of the military department was vague in front of me, and when it came time to do things, he was always ambiguous. Otherwise, why would I still be in the capital now? And the last time I went to his house to drink the wedding wine, I gave him five hundred taels of silver as a gift. This old thing knows how to make our family's money. ”

Gu Zi thought about it again, and said, "Otherwise, it's Wu Yicheng, Brother Wu is really good friends with us." ”

"Hmm. Zhu Changxi affirmed, "This person and we are of the same heart." It's just that the situation is not very optimistic for him. There are a lot of royal forest troops in the capital, but there are also many gangs. Both civilian officials and military generals have their own people. If we really fight, the Royal Guards may not help us. Only military power is the most reliable. But what about the military department? As I just said, this person ......."

As soon as he said this person, Zhu Changxi was upset.

Zhu Changxi still persuaded: "Now the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry have their own relationships in these six departments. What my brother and I need to do is to get these relationships right, so as not to have any more rights and wrongs in the future. The emperor has no power in his hands, how can he be at ease?"

That's right, what the emperor wants is imperial power, and now the emperor is hollowed out, and that power is gone, but it is scattered into the hands of various vassal kings, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Just like in the Spring and Autumn Period of that year, if you develop further, maybe another Warring States will appear.

Gu Zizhong was well-behaved now, and nodded again and again: "I know, Brother Zishan, I will listen to you whatever you say." You let me go, I'll leave today, okay?"

Zhu Changxi felt a little sudden, he still asked her to prepare well and leave tomorrow.

Gu Zizhong agreed.

Zhu Changxi specially instructed the coachman who drove the carriage, and found dozens of brocade guards for Gu Zizhong as guards.

From the capital to Chengde, there may be bandits along the way, and if you mix it with the Tartar soldiers, it will be all over.

This protection work must be done well.

Gu Zizhong put the wooden figure given to her by Brother Zishan on her chest.

She brought the portrait she had secretly hidden.

The paintings are all portraits of Brother Zishan drawn by herself.

Feng Ming brought her a few more pots of chicken soup and prepared some pastries.

At night, she specially got into Brother Zishan's bed and let him love and pity.

Tomorrow the two of them will be separated, and if they see each other again, it may be a few months later.

She can't stand the taste of not having a good brother.

Zhu Changxi also hugged her so tightly for the first time.

Early in the morning, the carriage was waiting outside.

It's quiet outside.

Zhu Changxi did not go to the court, and accompanied her at home.

After Gu Zi got up, it was Zhu Changxi who helped her dress up.

She really didn't see that he still had this hand.

Zhu Changxi helped her dress up, and brought her breakfast, which was very simple, a bowl of gruel, a steamed bun, and vegetables.

The two of them ate face to face, and Zhu Changxi helped her into the carriage again, followed by Feng Ming.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one outside in the morning, Zhu Changxi hurriedly sent Gu Zizhong out of the capital.

lest you have long nights and many dreams, so as not to attract the attention of others.

She sat in the carriage and leaned into a corner, lifted the light curtain and looked at the scenery outside, but she had a different taste in her heart.

Feng Ming also comforted her: "County Lord, my uncle specially instructed me before we left, let me bring some osmanthus cake to the county lord." ”

As he spoke, Feng Ming took out the pastry.

Gu Zizhong was surprised, but Brother Zishan still cared about her.

She tasted it, and the taste was filled with the smell of Brother Zishan's body.

Alas, it was she who was too obsessed with him.

She took a bite, the corners of her mouth showing sweetness.
