Chapter 709: Laying the Foundation

Well!

Gu Zizhong was not interested in this.

She just wanted to know about Brother Zishan's situation.

Li Nanyu hesitated, hesitated, thought about it, and said, "Lord Gu, I won't hide it from you." Our lord is not at home, but in the court. The first assistant of the cabinet is now our people. ”

Now that the first sentence has been made clear, the next thing is to say more.

I have to say.

Li Nanyu simply finished saying everything in one breath: "The emperor is now critically ill......"

She looked out, and there was no one.

Gu Zizhong was very serious, calmed down, and listened attentively.

She was inherently curious.

Li Nanyu said: "The emperor is critically ill, and the queen mother has no real power, so the real power has fallen into the hands of some ministers." The most obvious is the first assistant to the cabinet. Shousuke-sama's current power is comparable to that of the prime minister of the past. ”

Halfway through, no.

Gu Zizhong had to ask again.

Li Nanyu didn't dare to say more, but after all, it was inappropriate to say this kind of thing halfway, and it was still to her own sister.

She looked out the door again.

Gu Zizhong simply got up and went to close the door.

Now you can rest assured, right?

Li Nanyu smiled and said, "I don't feel at ease in our family, my father once told me so." Afraid that the wall has ears. ”

Now there are no outsiders.

Li Nanyu clenched her fists, cold sweat came down, she tried her best to lower her voice, and said, "Let me tell you, we now have the power to elect the prince in the future." ”

Gu Zizhong was cold, and his whole body was trembling.

She recalled experiences from her past life.

It's a thrilling situation.

It's a head-scratching job.

Her face froze.

Li Nanyu saw that the county lord was nervous, and he was even more nervous.

Gu Zizhong calmed down, let Li Nanyu rest assured, and tried her best to speak.

Li Nanyu said: "The first assistant of the cabinet is now our person, and Gu Shizi is also in the cabinet now, and he is a university scholar. Therefore, if the emperor dies one day in the future, our cabinet will take over the affairs of the imperial court. ”

Gu Zizhong was also strange, there were not many people in the family.

Even her mother was not at home.

At home, Li Nanyu and Baoyu are up.

Gu Zi was stunned again.

Li Nanyu raised her finger at Gu Zizhong and made a "shhhh ”

Gu Zizhong understood this truth, because after all, this is a national event.

Li Nanyu's voice was very low: "The Queen Mother also knows about this situation, but she keeps her mouth shut and lets the situation develop." Now not only is the power of the entire Ming Dynasty very unbalanced, but also the power in the imperial court is unbalanced. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites are now standing together with the Cabinet. But the other four have their own masters. Zhu Lequan controls the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households. The silver in the imperial treasury is controlled by Zhu Lequan. ”

No wonder, at that time, the construction of the water division and the construction of the barracks in Jinling, these important things were not allocated by the imperial court.

Zhu Lequan and the Zhu family in Jinling have never been very harmonious, so it is natural not to give silver.

Gu Zizhong didn't ask anymore, it was better to ask less about this kind of thing.

She went to see Hoyu.

As a result, during the day I stayed at my mother's house, at ten o'clock in the evening, I heard the news that the imperial court had come and that the treasury was preparing to gather silver taels and wanted to attack the Watters.

The cabinet has been writing to the emperor to stop this.

The Ming Dynasty has been at war, laboring and losing money, and the treasury is really unable to support it.

The letter also said that the Gu family's father and son were going back to Jinling.

Li Nanyu discussed with the housekeeper, arranged the house, and prepared to wait for Gu Wangye and Gu Shizi to come back and serve them well.

This is something that the young lady must learn.

Gu Zi looked at Sister Li and matured a lot.

She stayed at her mother's house for two days and then went back.

Back at the Zhu family, Gu Zizhong kept his mouth shut, not talking about the messy things of the court.

Because Zhu Wangye returned home and the family has the backbone, this kind of thing can't be said.

If the word of the market spreads, it will not be good for them.

What's more, Sister Li is only a woman and a child after all, and what she said is a bit true and a little false, and she is not accurate.

All is safe.

It's August, and it's hot.

The scorching sun outside is almost scorching.

Zhu Changxi and a few of his brothers came back with people and horses, but there were few people who came back in a carriage.

There is no shelf at all.

However, the people of Jinling were waiting at the gate of the city, waiting for a few of them to return.

When they returned to Jinling, Zhu Changxi and the others were able to take a breath.

Gu Zizhong helped Brother Zishan take care of the family at home, and also cooked for a few of their brothers.

This time I went to the southwest, mainly because of a few of their brothers and a few retinues, and no one else followed.

Zhu Changxi said that only in this way can they show their sincerity.

Sure enough, their sincerity was enough for King Kang Mian to hand over the military power.

Alas, but this trip can scare Gu Zizhong enough.

Gu Zizhong took care of Brother Zishan, and helped him beat his legs and rub his waist when he was fine.

This guy has become an old man.

Tang Xiannan was not idle, and came to the Zhu family to help.

After August, Qing'er was able to walk on her own.

Gu Zizhong was so happy that she was about to go crazy, she put Qing'er on one side in the room, and she went to the other side, waiting for Qing'er with open arms.

Qing'er staggered and threw herself into her arms.

She was overjoyed, muttered to herself, and went out the door, talking to Feng Ming.

She originally wanted to talk to Brother Zishan.

But Brother Zishan was not at home.

Feng Ming said that Zhu Shizi went to the barracks.

"Tang Xiannan brought some silver taels from Jiangnan again, ready to be used by us. Zhu Shizi went to the barracks early this morning, talking about those silver taels. Feng Ming knew that the county lord would be unhappy if she said it, so she spoke, lowered her head, and didn't dare to raise her head.

Gu Zizhong was not angry, but he was very disappointed.

She turned around to see Qing'er standing alone on the ground, staring at her with her head up.

This little guy.

The smile on Gu Zizhong's face came out again.

She squatted down, picked up Qing'er, and went back to the house.

In order to punish Brother Zishan, I won't cook for him today.

His own children can walk, and he doesn't come back to see it.

Alas, Brother Zishan is a person who doesn't want to be in his family too much.

She teased Qing'er's kung fu, and Zhu Changxi came back outside, sweating profusely and very tired.

Feng Ming said that the barracks had recruited hundreds of more people, and the silver transported from Gusu had been used to recruit soldiers.

One person gave the family some settling-in expenses, and then bought the whole person of Zhuang Ding.

One morning, hundreds of people were recruited, all of whom were from other places.
