Chapter 341: Avoiding Calamity
If he doesn't say anything more, it is estimated that the Gu family will be anxious with him.
Zhu Liuhong thought for a while and said, "The few Jinyi guards who came to Jinling City to pick up Dailan all said that the two Jinling families in Beijing have angered the emperor. ”
He said this carefully.
also scared the Gu family enough.
Gu Zizhong frowned and said, "Where did this come from? We don't know it ourselves!"
It's really funny, the Gu family themselves don't know that they have angered the emperor.
Zhu Liuhong argued: "County Lord, think about it, is there anything wrong in the capital?"
Gu Zizhong really thought about it according to what he said, and he really didn't come up with anything boring.
Zhu Liuhong said: "I am often in Jinling, and I have not entered the Beijing Division much. Although I am only hearsay, I am eighty or ninety percent sure, otherwise I would not be able to disturb you. Mrs. Wang Ye is not in good health and is also old, as a junior, if it is not a very important matter, I can't come and disturb you!"
Gu Wangye was annoyed by hearing this, and said, "We all understand Zhu Gongzi's good intentions. It's just that you still know something, so tell you all about it. ”
Zhu Liuhong said: "When you were in the capital, did you join forces with the Jinling Zhu family to meet the emperor?"
There is such a thing.
But how did he, Zhu Liuhong, know?
Could it be that those brocade guards broke their mouths and revealed this kind of thing?
It's a killer.
This Zhu Liuhong must have something to worry about.
Gu Zizhong then asked, "What did those Jinyi guards say to Brother Zhu?"
Zhu Liuhong shook his head: "This is not what Jinyiwei said, this is what the merchants outside Jinling City said who came back from the capital." The merchants did not have a high status in the city anyway, and they did not need to please others, so most of them were straightforward. I also heard it while eating. ”
The Gu family looked a little confused.
Zhu Liuhong then explained: "I have heard about this more than once, so I dare to come and tell you kind words. I've heard that the emperor is already angry with you. Now the imperial court is pondering how to cut it!"
At first glance, these two sentences don't seem to have anything to do with each other.
But after careful consideration, the relationship is too big.
The emperor is preparing to cut Tibet.
It's true.
Gu Zizhong listened to the cry of the Queen Mother in the capital and watched the emperor's big moves.
Now it seems that the Emperor and the Queen Mother are trying their best to clear the obstacles and threats around them.
How many years has the Zhu family been in the world now, and the descendants of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang are now all over the Ming Dynasty, right?
There are more and more people surnamed Zhu, and the emperor is naturally more and more worried.
What if a vassal king becomes the climate and then follows the example of Chengzu Zhu Di?
Gu Zizhong was also worried, after all, this was just a superficial effort.
The emperor really didn't come up with any substantive decrees.
But as soon as I heard that Zhu Liuhong was here to talk nonsense, the Gu family couldn't worry about it anymore.
Zhu Liuhong's face was full of confusion and worry when he looked at his family, so he let go of his courage and said, "I also heard that it has been a sensitive period for the imperial court recently. What is the emperor afraid of? Two or more ministers play to him together. This kind of nepotism is difficult to resolve, and once it happens, it will be out of control. ”
So......
Zhu Liuhong continued: "Don't say it's the prince, even the ministers are like this." You said that Prince Gu and Prince Zhu went to ask the emperor together, didn't this just make the emperor worried?"
This kid's analysis makes quite sense.
But what to do?
The people of the Gu family and the Zhu family have all returned safely, and they don't feel that there is anything abnormal.
Gu Zizhong asked cautiously, "Master Zhu, are you sure?"
Zhu Liuhong looked aggrieved, shrunk his shoulders, spread his hands, and explained seriously: "What I said is true. The emperor has decided to remove several vassal kings in the northwest, leaving only their names and their fortunes, and all other powers are withdrawn. I was convinced of this after hearing this. ”
Gu Shizi frowned: "No, our Gu family has nothing but a name." We have no power and no soldiers. Can the emperor doubt us?"
Zhu Liuhong explained: "Why was my grandfather denounced as a common man back then?"
This Gu family really doesn't know.
Zhu Liuhong: They are getting farther and farther away from the orthodoxy of the royal family, right?
Although the Zhu family is not short of money, they can't afford to support more and more Zhu family members.
The Gu family has always thought so.
Zhu Liuhong explained: "Back then, my grandfather commanded the soldiers and horses, and led people to fight once, but because the credit was too great, it shook the master, so there was no choice but to return to the hometown." In the end, even the name of Prince Zhu was gone. Our family has completely become a common people's home. ”
Hearing him flicker like this, the Gu family also began to believe it a little.
Anyway, Zhu Liuhong's grandfather was not born at that time, Gu Shizi and Gu Zizhong were not born, and they didn't know what the situation was.
Gu Wang Ye and Mrs. Gu were also small.
So the Gu family was skeptical.
Zhu Liuhong said: "The emperor rectified the vassal king this time, and naturally he will reward the vassal king that the emperor believes." But for the other vassal kings, the emperor wants to weaken. For the other vassal kings who wrote together, the emperor was extremely suspicious. Although the two of you do not have military power, after all, you are also princes, what if you do not stand firm in the future?"
Gu Wangye was so shocked by Zhu Liuhong's words that his brain broke out in a cold sweat.
And so he did.
Zhu Liuhong said: "I also heard that this ......"
He couldn't say.
But where is there anything that is only half spoken?
The Gu family wanted to hear it even more.
Zhu Liuhong really had no choice, so he had to say: "I heard that the emperor will see if you are going elsewhere halfway." If you go and stop somewhere else, that's the end of it. The emperor will take you to prison first, and then check the place where you are staying before and after. ”
Although Gu Wangye is calm on the surface, he is already very calm in his heart.
Zhu Liuhong sighed and said, "Now is the sensitive time, fortunately, you didn't stay halfway." It's okay, the emperor knows that you have a smooth journey and returned to your hometown in Jinling, at least he already has trust in you, and he will no longer doubt you. ”
Mrs. Gu thought about it, and her back was also cold.
When she opened the seal, she also planned to stop at Wu's house to rest for a day or two!
Fortunately, because there were too many people, Gu's mother was not embarrassed to stay at other people's homes.
However, how could the Gu family not be aware of this throughout the whole process?
Gu Zizhong didn't believe it either, although she was stunned by Zhu Liuhong's foolishness, she still suspected that Zhu Liuhong, an outsider, knew much more than their Gu family.
