In the winter of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Changxi returned from Beijing.

It's just with a tired body.

At this time, the northwest has been pacified by Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have disappeared again.

Da Ming temporarily regained his calm.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, really spinning, otherwise the ancestors' rivers and mountains would be lost.

The emperor was relieved, and Zhu Changxi was also relieved.

Everyone was relieved.

Only Gu Zizhong was not at ease.

Because Zhu Lequan was already in Beijing at this time, he kept looking for the emperor to say this and that.

During the years of the Great War, the imperial court needed military generals and talents who could defend the country.

Yan Pingnan counts one.

At this time, Zhu Lequan strongly recommended his righteous son Yan Pingnan.

Gu Zizhong was 10,000 unwilling, you were gone when the war was fighting, why did you all jump out when it was time to reward meritorious deeds?

The emperor is not stupid, he dealt with two sentences, but there was no follow-up.

The world has just been calmed down, and the emperor wants to reward many ministers for meritorious deeds.

But only the military general surnamed Zhu, the emperor did not reward anyone.

Zhu Bingtian is also one, he was busy for a long time, but he didn't even get a "thank you".

The emperor still thinks in his heart, isn't the world the Zhu family, as members of the Zhu family, it is natural for you to contribute something to the family.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason.

In fact, the emperor is still afraid, afraid that these people surnamed Zhu have bad intentions.

Yan Pingnan, whose surname is Yan, may rebel at any time.

There is no way, when the emperor left, there were not a few capable ministers left, the emperor was very lonely, and no one helped him, but someone pondered him.

It's not easy to be an emperor, especially in troubled times, the mess of the first emperor has remained.

It's not easy for the big guys.

Zhu Changxi returned to Jinling, and his whole body was in tatters.

However, Gu Zizhong didn't care, she only cared about whether her brother Zishan was a person.

Now that Brother Zishan is back, she is much more relieved.

At this time, Gu Shizi also returned.

However, everyone found out that the people from the Jinling Barracks did not come back.

Zhen Guogong did not return.

Zhu Changxi told Gu Zizhong that the soldiers and horses of the Jinling Barracks had been given to the Ministry of War.

The world needs people to guard it, and the people of the Jinling Barracks are also part of the Ming army.

The imperial court began to reclaim its military power.

In the past, the imperial court also collected the right to collect troops many times, but basically it was unsuccessful.

But this time it was different, the court accepted it.

Gu Zizhong was curious, but she felt that this should be a blow to Brother Zishan.

So she didn't ask much.

Let Brother Zishan rest more after he comes back.

Gu Shizi found the door.

At this time, the two brothers were already brothers.

But to be honest, there must still be estrangement, after all, as soon as the big guys compared, they talked about Zhu Changxi and Gu Shizi.

One said that Zhu Changxi has good kung fu, can lead troops, and has a future.

As for Gu Shizi, he is just a nerd, dumbfounded, and doesn't know anything.

This kind of remark still makes Gu Shizi very uncomfortable.

It's much better now, after all, Gu Shizi also led his troops to win the battle.

Gu Shizi took the initiative to find Zhu Changxi many times.

Zhu Changxi was taking a nap, and was also pulled up from bed by Gu Shizi.

Gu Shizi said bluntly: "Brother, if you ignore the affairs of the court, then if something happens to us in the future, it will be too late for you to regret it." ”

Zhu Changxi is already helpless, how can he be helpless.

When the emperor beckoned him to go, he went.

The emperor asked him to go, and he left.

He is the most loyal military general to the emperor among the surnamed Zhu, but after the emperor used him, he began to guard against him.

For the emperor, Zhu Changxi has only two ends, either suspected or used.

Zhu Changxi is very uncomfortable, where is the brotherhood and brotherhood.

is still the most ruthless of the emperor's family.

Zhu Changxi couldn't wait that he was not surnamed Zhu, if he was abducted by his father back then.

Gu Shizi also sympathized with him, who made him so capable.

But after all, the matter is in front of us, and it can't be solved if it is not resolved.

Gu Shizi said clearly: "If you don't take the initiative again, the emperor can only abandon you." Zhu Lequan has already started to act, he wants to be the next Zhu Guogong. ”

Zhu Guogong, such a familiar name.

At the beginning, Zhu Guogong was in the court.

Didn't Princess Yongyang look down on Gu Zizhong at the beginning? In the Paiyun Palace, in the Qianqing Palace, or in the Ten Thousand Gardens.

Gu Zizhong suffered the accusations and ridicule of the county lords in the palace.

But that's gone now.

The Zhu family in Jinling lived in Jinling, and the emperor could do whatever he wanted.

Zhu Changxi has made up his mind, and the emperor wants to remember the brotherhood, so let Zhu Changxi live well.

If the emperor had to suspect Zhu Changxi's self-respect and had to oppose Zhu Changxi, then Zhu Changxi would only have to suffer.

Who made you my brother, who made the whole world your emperor?

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land.

Zhu Changxi has already decided, so be it.

He went back to the house and went to sleep again.

But Gu Shizi quit and found his good brother.

Wu Yicheng didn't have any background, so he listened along.

Zhu Sanzi's background is not as much as Zhu Changxi, so he also listened.

Guo Zhishi turned out to be a royal guard in the palace, and he had no background, so he could only listen to it.

That is, Zhu Ziqin, he is the son of Marquis Wuqing, and the descendant of the surname Zhu of Zheng'er Bajing.

He can also wrestle his wrist with the emperor.

He made it clear that if the emperor doubted Zhu Changxi, he would be the first not to agree.

The Marquis of Wuqing around Jingshi, although he has no actual power, can be regarded as a respected old-timer.

As a junior, the emperor should give his old man a face.

Zhu Ziqin expressed his position, and the big guys were very happy.

Zhu Changxi was still depressed.

At that time, when defending the imperial court, the emperor did not let Zhu Changxi step into the capital.

Yan Pingnan's kid didn't participate at all, but the emperor let him in.

Zhu Changxi will never be relieved about this matter.

However, Yan Pingnan has already started to do it.

He wanted to ask the military department directly for military power.

The world needs someone to decide, the emperor needs someone to assist, and Yan Pingnan is a military general, so he can help.

The Ministry of War did not dare to decide on its own, as long as it asked the emperor.

The emperor wanted to know, but the cabinet stopped the excerpt.

Because of the inaction of the previous emperors, the power of the cabinet is already very large.

Since Zhang Juzheng, the cabinet has decided a lot of things.

The emperor was upset, and he didn't need to look at it, so the cabinet was given.

So the cabinet gave a lot of military power to Yan Pingnan.

When the emperor found out, he was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, the imperial court needs to rely on the cabinet to do things.

So give some soldiers, just give some soldiers.

To be honest, the emperor doesn't even believe Yan Pingnan now.
