Chapter 282: Understood
Gu Wangye stood at the door with a teacup, staring at the door for a long time before turning his head stupidly.
Staring at his daughter, Gu Wangye's eyes were full of resentment.
This frightened Gu Zizhong.
Her father was puzzled by her.
Why is that?
Gu Zizhong wanted to ask questions, but he was afraid of his father's prestige and didn't dare to speak.
Gu Wang Ye threw the teacup in his hand to the square table, and the sound of the teacup hitting the wooden table sounded, and Gu Zizhong trembled three times.
No matter how much endurance you have, you can't withstand this sudden change.
Gu Zizhong couldn't help it anymore, and hurriedly looked pitiful, but still asked with squeamish words: "Father, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Wang Ye stared at his daughter, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Daughter." What do you let your father say about you. Do you know that Zhu Changxi and his family once had a history of being denounced as commoners by the former emperor?"
This Gu Zizhong had heard of it.
It was Zhu Shizi's father, who was once appointed by the former emperor as the general of Fuyuan, and went to the Mongolian steppe to appease the people of the Ming Dynasty.
However, due to the harassment of the Northern Yuan and the Tatars, Zhu Shizi's father, the now old Zhu Wangye, was surrounded by the Tatars in the hinterland of the Mongolian steppe.
In the end, he abandoned the people there and broke out of the encirclement alone with a few retinues and ran out.
Because of this, the emperor belittled his most beloved son as a commoner.
It was only later that the emperor gave Zhu Wangye another chance to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make great contributions, so he returned to the capital.
But this matter is already an old thing, and no one talks about it after dinner.
How many years have passed.
In the face of that situation, even if he leads the army to protect the people, he is afraid that it will be broken, and he will not be able to protect the people.
Therefore, Gu Zizhong didn't have much prejudice against Zhu Wangye, but instead spoke to Zhu Wangye: "How many years have passed since that incident, father, why did you mention this matter again?"
Gu Wang Ye sighed and said, "It's not that I mentioned this. It was the emperor who brought it up. ”
Gu Wangye turned around again, walked slowly to the door and stopped, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the already dark courtyard outside, as if in a daze.
After a while, Gu Wangye said: "The emperor took this matter and gave Zhu Wangye a name, Zhu Youbei." Seal your father and me a name, Gu Shizhu. ”
Gu Zizhong was confused when he heard it.
Gu Wang Ye sighed and turned around with his hands behind his back, facing his daughter, his eyes showed guilt again: "Father is incapable, so you juniors have been wronged." ”
Gu Zizhong didn't understand, and asked suspiciously, "Why did my father say this?"
Gu Wangye sighed and said: "The emperor has already issued an edict, in order to commend Zhu Changxi and Zhu Shizi's last conquest merits, Zhu Shizi was named the general of Zhenming, and Zhu Changxi's father Zhu Wangye was given a new name, Zhu Youbei. The emperor also said that if he found time, he would really accompany Zhu Wangye to Mobei for a tour. But what about ......"
With a sigh, Gu Wangye sat down and said, "Who doesn't understand this matter, this is the emperor is jealous of Zhu Wangye." Prince Zhu is the emperor's brother, so he is naturally threatened by the emperor. The emperor is also afraid of his brother's mercenary self-respect!"
Oh!
That's what it looks like.
It's just that......
Gu Zizhong frowned and asked, "This time I went to the palace, didn't the emperor just ask my father to settle accounts?"
With a wave of his hand, Gu Wangye looked very disdainful: "What kind of account, it's just an excuse." Of course, a small account can still be calculated. Like the treasury of the treasury and the deployment of the heavy troops of the Ming Dynasty, this is all a secret, how can it be obtained verbally at will under normal circumstances?"
Gu Wangye took a sip of tea and said: "The emperor is afraid that the Jinling Zhu family has risen, the Jinling Zhu family and the Zhu prince in the northwest, as well as the rich families in Zhejiang and Fujian, have contacts and are very close. The emperor was naturally afraid of Prince Zhu...... He ......"
Needless to say, both father and daughter know it.
The emperor is most afraid of his own brother's rebellion.
Zhu Di, the king of Yan, took the position of emperor of his nephew Emperor Jianwen.
A lesson from the past, we have to guard against it.
The emperor turned out to have this in mind.
So......
Gu Zizhong also suddenly understood something, this time the emperor gave Zhu Shizi the opportunity to fight against the Japanese and gave it to Yan Pingnan, in fact, it may really be because of this.
The emperor was afraid that the Zhu family in Jinling was full-fledged.
That's why Zhu Changxi and Zhu Shizi will be restricted.
Oh!!!
Gu Zizhong sighed again and again in his heart.
She has become the scapegoat of the emperor's thoughts, right?
She thought that it was the queen mother who interceded with the emperor to become like this.
She felt wronged.
Gu Wang Ye suddenly stared at her and asked her what was wrong.
She hurriedly came back to her senses, smiled awkwardly at her father, and shook her head.
Gu Wang Ye sighed and said, "Zizhong, do you really not mind Prince Zhu's past?"
Gu Zizhong pursed his lips, and he was a little angry: "Father, you have asked a few times." I said it had nothing to do with me. ”
But in this era, it is fashionable to sit together.
If one day the emperor wants to talk about the past of Prince Zhu and arrest the Zhu family, Gu Zizhong will naturally be inevitable.
This is what Gu Wang Ye is worried about.
Gu Wangye pondered for a moment, then comforted his daughter and said, "Okay, my daughter is single-minded, very good, not bad." Father is happy for you. ”
Gu Zizhong lowered his head shyly, playing with his long hanging hair with both hands.
Gu Wang Ye sighed: "Actually, if you don't do this, there is no way. We are in Jinling with Zhu Changxi, and we are already bound to them. If one day in the future, the emperor wants to attack them, of course we will not escape. Well, so be it. ”
Gu Zizhong didn't think so.
In the near future, the Tatars will go south, and when Zhu Changxi and Zhu Shizi take the heavy troops of the Ming Dynasty to resist a large number of Tatar soldiers at Shanhaiguan.
If it weren't for Zhu Shizi and Wu Yicheng in the capital, the Ming Dynasty would have been destroyed by the Tatars.
Yan Pingnan is very powerful, but at that time, he and his father were watching the excitement of the Jingshi in Liangguang.
So this kind of thing is absolutely impossible.
Based on the experience of her previous life and her understanding of the emperor, Gu Zizhong was also sure that the emperor would not attack his own brother.
It's just that she can't tell her father about her past life.
She could only comfort: "Father's worry is not unreasonable, but isn't it a bit groundless to worry about us now?"
Gu Wangye was stunned.
Gu Zizhong immediately realized that he had used the wrong words.
Reaching out and slapping her face lightly, she still pouted decently: "Father, don't worry so much. ”
