Old Man Zhu was naturally very happy to see that the two of them could work together.

Let's settle the matter first.

Old Man Zhu left happily.

Leaving Gu Zizhong and Zhu Changxi facing each other, it was very embarrassing.

In the end, Zhu Changxi took the initiative to open his mouth, and only then did the atmosphere between the two of them ease up.

He is just a bad temper, and once he gets on his head, he can't stop talking.

Zhu Changxi was forgiven by Zizhong, and naturally he was willing to stay at home longer.

Just half a day later, at night, Feng Ming came in and said that an acquaintance had come outside.

Gu Zizhong was still puzzled, and Feng Ming then said, this person is the Guo family.

Isn't this a concubine of Lord Futai?

The concubines in Lord Futai's mansion can come around if they have nothing to do.

Gu Zi saw that they were all used to seeing them again.

But the adults have already gone home to worry about it, why is this little concubine still here and not leaving?

She was curious and asked Feng Ming to invite people in.

When Guo came in, he looked embarrassed.

Gu Zi saw that she was pitiful, so she asked the kitchen to quickly boil a bowl of porridge and make some steamed buns.

Guo devoured it.

Gu Zizhong was surprised, he was still swaggering two days ago, looking like Mrs. Kuo, why did he suddenly become like this?

She was still wondering in her heart, so Guo expressed his gratitude to her and told the truth.

When Lord Futai left, he took away all the valuables in the house, and when he dismissed their concubines, he didn't pay much.

As soon as Guo Shi left the city, he was robbed by bandits.

The tiger falls in Pingyang.

Gu Zizhong sympathized with her.

Guo Shi said that he actually talked about the affairs of the imperial court.

A person who is so depressed that he wants to eat, how can he still say anything about the court?

Gu Zizhong's heart became nervous, but she kept smiling and arranged Guo's in the guest room for the time being.

She told her father-in-law about it.

Zhu Wangye was suspicious, but it was difficult to come forward.

After all, for the sake of someone's concubine, he came forward, which was too shameless.

And Zhu Changxi also responded to the outside drinking party at this time.

When Zhu Changxi came back, his face was full of consternation.

Gu Zizhong asked him what was going on.

Zhu Changxi said that he saw a lot of fresh faces at the dinner table.

He was also very annoyed, and when he returned home, he was angry, and muttered to himself, "Well, what should I say?" These rich people in Jinling City are not all of the same heart. ”

Gu Zizhong asked him what was going on.

Zhu Changxi said bluntly: "I drank with a few rich children in our city, and I got drunk, and I heard that they were talking nonsense." ”

How so?

Gu Zizhong was curious and sat beside him.

Zhu Changxi sighed: "In vain, I still regard them as brothers." What about them? But they've been thinking about how to find a way out. They even thought about going to King Kang. ”

Is this worth it?

Gu Zizhong sarcastically mocked him: "With your temper, don't give them a knife on the spot, see if they dare!"

Zhu Changxi is also soft-hearted, after all, everyone has been together for many years, and it is not easy to start.

Gu Zizhong also guessed his temper, and did not blame him, but said, "Your benevolent heart will not start." ”

Zhu Changxi waved his hand and said, "If you want to blame it, blame me for seeing the wrong person." They, I will never see each other again. ”

Brother Zishan said this every time, when did he do it?

Gu Zizhong just smiled, but told him about the Guo family.

Zhu Changxi was puzzled.

Old Man Zhu came over at this time.

He closed the door tightly, and told Feng Ming outside the door to let her keep the door open and no one could let in.

Zhu Wangye turned around and walked into the room, sat down next to the two of them, and said, "I'll just say, things will come to the door sooner or later." Zishan, Zizhong, the court has news for us. ”

Zhu Changxi's eyes widened.

Zhu Wang Ye took out the holy decree from his cuffs and handed it to them.

The two of them stared at the Divine Decree for a long time.

It was indeed the little emperor who asked Jinling for help.

The people in their family guessed so right!

Zhu Changxi said: "Dad, since this is the case, let's just take this opportunity to take refuge in the emperor." ”

Zhu Wangye closed his eyes and did not speak.

Gu Zizhong trembled in his heart, but said, "Dad, I always feel that this matter is not so simple. Or is it a bureau deliberately set up by the Empress Dowager to lure us?"

Old Man Zhu nodded with satisfaction.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Gu Zizhong and said, "Zizhong, you still have a reasonable analysis." ”

Zhu Changxi closed his mouth, whatever he said, his father didn't want to hear it.

Gu Zizhong said: "We just discussed the imperial court today, and the imperial court came to the holy decree. It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?"

Zhu Wangye said: "No matter what, anyway, we can't watch the fire from the other side anymore." When the emperor died, Zhu Lequan dared to tell the world the news, which was a big crime to kill his head. But the Empress Dowager did not mention this matter. It is enough to show that the power of the imperial court is too small. ”

Zhu Changxi said "um": "The Empress Dowager can't hold Zhu Lequan anymore." King Kang is even more uncontrollable. We belong to a family that can't go up or down. Either we will rebel, or we will hurry up and take a stand. Otherwise, we will be more passive. ”

Right!

Zhu Wangye also nodded.

The situation forced them to make a choice.

If they keep dragging it out, they just don't express their position, then whether it is King Kang Mian, Zhu Lequan, or the imperial court, they will be regarded as a thorn in their side.

The military power in their hands is not small, and the number of troops is also quite large.

In this case, they can be mercenaries with self-respect, why should they collude with King Kang and Zhu Lequan?

They first made a gesture of favor to the court.

That's it.

Gu Zizhong suggested: "Let's do what the holy decree says, in short, we are dedicated to the imperial court." ”

Yes, there is nothing wrong with showing loyalty to the imperial court.

Zhu Wangye also agreed with Gu Zizhong's statement.

Of course, Zhu Changxi agreed.

So be it.

Zhu Wangye wrote an excerpt overnight and sent a secret envoy to the imperial court.

Zhu Changxi greeted Gu Shizi, and the two young men also handed the emperor an excerpt together.

They all expressed their willingness to follow the imperial court and defend the Ming Dynasty.

Sure enough, the people of the court were satisfied.

Especially the Empress Dowager, after reading their excerpts, she couldn't stop talking.

The imperial court was isolated, and a city like Jinling was needed to protect them.

The Empress Dowager took the opportunity to issue another edict to Jinling, asking them to march the terracotta warriors of Jinling to Shanxi.

Nominally, it was to guard against the Tatars.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Empress Dowager wants to use them as a shield to block the King Kang Mian in the southwest.
