Chapter 359: Quite helpless
The Gu family hasn't visited yet, so the Zhu family went first.
It seems that the Gu family doesn't understand the rules.
There are two princes in Jinling City, one is Prince Zhu, and the other is Prince Gu.
So when Zhu Shizi said this, Gu's mother was always not very upset: "I went late, which made the family feel that the Gu family had lost their etiquette." ”
How can you still mix in Jinling from now on?
Gu's mother was faintly worried in her heart.
However, the smile on her face could not be lost, Gu's mother was still happy, and said: "The prince just came back from Hangzhou, and immediately went to Lord Futai's house, it is really hard for you." ”
Zhu Shizi shook his head: "This is nothing." Because after all, this dowry is related to Lord Futai. ”
Gu Mu was stunned, she didn't understand, but her smile was a little forced: "What do you mean?"
Zhu Shizi disagreed, and continued: "Oh, it's nothing. When I was transferring money from Hangzhou, Lord Futai of Zhejiang Province invited me to his mansion for a drink! ”
Gu Zizhong couldn't help but asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Shizi said: "In the past two days, there have been battles everywhere, and now that the Japanese have landed on the shore of Zhejiang and Taiwan, our Ming army is organizing manpower to fight against the Japanese people." Therefore, to recruit soldiers, you need silver and copper coins. There's a shortage of money everywhere!"
In this way, Zhu Shizi went to exchange money when people were short of silver.
In this way, Zhu Shizi is a bit of a person.
After all, this is an obstacle to the affairs of the imperial court.
Gu's mother was worried, but Zhu Shizi smiled and shook his head: "Lord Futai of Zhejiang has been notified by the emperor to vigorously support our family affairs." Lord Futai also said that this is the will of the Queen Mother. ”
The Queen Mother ......
Gu Zizhong's face was full of joy, and a blush crossed her face.
She has now returned to Jinling, and the Queen Mother is still so good to her.
However, it is estimated that the Queen Mother has also thought about it, Jinling will definitely be short of money, and Zhu Shizi will also raise silver taels around.
Otherwise, a capital, a Zhejiang, such a long distance, how could the Queen Mother pass such a decree to Lord Futai?
Zhu Shizi said: "Zhejiang has urgently transferred silver taels from the surrounding places, such as Lianghu and Liangguang, Anhui and Shandong, to solve the urgent need. Therefore, the silver of my dowry is nothing to the needs of the entire Hangzhou City. ”
Hearing what the prince said, Gu Zi's heart was relieved.
It's good now, the relationship between the two of them is a certainty, right?
Zhu Shizi turned his words around again: "But all the people and horses of our Zhu family in the Fujian General Barracks have been transferred to Hangzhou City. ”
Gu Zizhong was stunned and immediately got up from his seat.
Originally, everyone in the hall was smiling, but they were all frightened by Gu Zizhong's sudden action.
Everyone stopped smiling, but they all became serious.
Gu Zizhong asked tentatively: "Does this mean that Zhu Shizi and your men and horses are now under the control of Yan Pingnan?"
Zhu Shizi didn't want to say it so thoroughly, but he was asked by Lord Gu.
They had no choice but to nod.
Gu Zi was upset in his heart.
This breath didn't come up, and her face turned red.
It turned out that the prince had exchanged money, but he gave his most beloved soldiers to others.
In this regard, Zhu Shizi is incompatible with Yan Pingnan.
Now that the soldiers led by the prince have been given to Yan Pingnan, in the position of general, the prince is no longer competitive.
Gu Zizhong was unwilling for the prince of the world, and said, "Won't you exchange something else for the prince?"
Zhu Shizi was helpless and said: "People just want this, I'm ...... I can't help it. ”
I'm afraid this is also the idea of the Queen Mother.
As soon as the Queen Mother did this, she handed over the military power of the Jinling Zhu family to Yan Pingnan.
Yan Pingnan was afraid that he also picked up a hot potato.
After all, the people of the Zhu family in Jinling are used to listening to Zhu Changxi's words, and if they listen to Yan Pingnan's words, they will not be sincere.
The Queen Mother's clever move not only satisfied Gu Zizhong's wishes, but also fulfilled the emperor's wishes.
It's good now, the two princes of Jinling don't have the strength to rebel.
Even if you have a heart, you don't have the guts.
Zhu Shizi looked very optimistic: "It's okay, those soldiers should follow Lord Ming to fight and make contributions." Now that I've been disarmed and returned to the field, I'm no longer a general, so I've been holding the title of a general, and it's useless. ”
Gu Mu nodded, but it was not as natural as Fang Cai: "That's good, that's good." ”
Zhu Shizi suddenly laughed and said, "Auntie, I came here today to give the gift list of the dowry, and you and your family will take a look at it today." If there's anything wrong, tell me again, and I'll fix it. ”
Gu's mother said: "Okay, I'll give you an answer tomorrow." ”
Zhu Shizi said: "I still have to go back to Lord Futai's mansion, after all, the master sent from Hangzhou is still there, and I have to send someone away." ”
What's going on here?
As soon as Gu's mother wanted to ask, she heard Zhu Shizi say: "When I came back, the people of Futai in Zhejiang were afraid that I would encounter mysterious thieves on the road, and it was really difficult to eliminate the prevalence of Japanese robbers in Zhejiang. That's why I sent a hundred officers and soldiers to escort me back. More than 100 people are still with our Futai lord. ”
Oh!
Zhu Shizi said again: "I'll go back, so I can send people." Give people a way to say. Actually......"
He was halfway through his speech, but he didn't know what to say.
After a pause, he put his face next to Mrs. Gu's ear again, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, as soon as the master leaves, I have to take out several silver tickets in my hand." ”
Gu's mother suddenly widened her eyes.
But think about it, people have come all the way to follow, how can you give a little hard-earned money.
So Gu's mother didn't ask again.
This incident alarmed Futai, Zhejiang, and Futai, Jiangsu.
Gu Zizhong's small dowry made people make such a big move.
Gu's mother didn't feel much in her heart.
Because the Gu family was afraid of provoking the emperor.
Okay, that's it.
When the money arrives, so do the people.
All this is easy to say, so don't talk about anything else.
Gu's mother patted Zhu Shizi on the shoulder: "I know, how is the gift list of the dowry, and I will give you an answer tomorrow." You go back first. ”
Zhu Shizi said goodbye and led everyone out of the Gu family.
In the hall, Gu Mu and Gu Zizhong looked a little overwhelmed.
For this dowry, Zhu Shizi even lost the soldiers and horses in his hand.
Gu Zi thought about it again, this was not a taste in his heart.
She also cried to her mother: "Leading the army to make meritorious contributions is the dream of the prince." Now the soldiers are gone. ”
