Chapter 955: Just a confidant

Zhu Changxi was quite discouraged, how much military salary did the court give him, and did the emperor treat him as his brother?

Who are you fooling here with some stuff at this time?

He wasn't interested in the court.

The emperor made him an official of the fourth rank of military general, but this official seems to be very far away.

However, he is still very grateful to the emperor for giving him time to play freely.

He entertained the envoy well, and then asked the envoy to bring back his gifts and letters to the emperor.

Gifts are still exchanged.

Zhu Changxi repeatedly emphasized brotherhood in his letters, and the Ming Dynasty was in danger, and the two brothers should be brothers at this time.

Brothers, brothers!

The emperor read the letter and was also very moved.

However, the eunuchs below were not moved, and many civil officials were not moved either.

The Donglin Party is still thinking about how to suppress those generals.

After all, everyone knows that the war is about to go, and it's time for the generals to shine.

Zu Dashou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Wu Sangui and other people are all waiting for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

So when the officials are fine, they go to the book and discuss it or something.

The emperor didn't take it to heart.

The emperor knew that at this time, Zhu Changxi was one of the few royal descendants, and compared with those generals with foreign surnames, he had to rely on his own brothers in times of trouble.

Even if the emperor died in battle, the emperor was killed by his own brother.

As long as the country does not fall and the Zhu family does not die, the world will still be there, and the Ming Dynasty will still be there.

The emperor still understands this truth.

So the emperor began to treat Zhu Changxi intentionally or unintentionally.

But people need faces, and trees need bark.

Everyone understands that when the emperor first ascended the throne, he was ready to suppress the vassal kings in various places.

Zhu Changxi was hard-hitting, so he didn't succeed in beating a few times.

The sword between the brothers has been revealed.

At this time, no matter how good the emperor is to Zhu Changxi, it is a ghost, otherwise it will be stinky and shameless.

Are you good to your enemies?

Zhu Changxi will definitely not get used to it.

The emperor is really embarrassed, is it so difficult to do something good?

He scraped together 100,000 taels of silver and was going to send it to Jinling, even if it was a military salary.

The 100,000 taels of silver were saved by the emperor from the seams of his shoes.

To put it decently, that's called self-respecting silver.

To put it mildly, the pants are almost gone, and it takes enough money to make up such a small amount of money.

More is not more, less is not less, as for how much, brother, you can do it, I don't plan you to remember my favors.

With such an idea, the emperor sent someone to send the silver to Jinling.

Zhu Changxi is self-sufficient, in the family law of his ancestors, soldiers usually have to farm the land, and they only copy the guys when it is time to fight.

So Zhu Changxi asked his soldiers to farm the land.

It is better to ask for others than for yourself, and the vegetables grown in your own vegetable garden are delicious.

And Gu Zizhong also beckoned the widows and lonely people in the good hall to make clothes for the soldiers.

Sometimes the woman who delivered the clothes entered the barracks, and she might get along with a man.

This solves the problem of eating and dressing, and also solves the problem of marriage, killing three birds with one stone.

The surrounding areas of Jinling City have begun to self-care mode.

As a result, the imperial court sent 100,000 taels of silver at once.

What to do?

Zhu Changxi was used to the life of a poor person, and he didn't dare to take 100,000 taels of silver at once.

Gu Zizhong was very happy, and she often chatted with the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was originally a rebel and was going to be beheaded. If it weren't for the emperor's remembrance of the friendship between her ancestors and grandchildren, she would have died a long time ago.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager has always considered the emperor.

Now that the emperor has sent silver, her old man's heart knows best.

So she sometimes chatted with Gu Zizhong, and she told Gu Zizhong what the emperor meant, intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Zi was a little more thorough, of course he knew what the emperor meant.

When you are in trouble, you still look at your brother.

So Gu Zizhong went home, and when she came into contact with Brother Zishan, she told Brother Zishan what it meant.

Zhenguo Gong is now old, and sooner or later he will have to hand over all the military power to Zhu Changxi.

And now the power in Zhu Changxi's hands is not small.

Therefore, Gu Zizhong hoped that Zhu Changxi would make his own decision, accept the silver, and then write a letter to the emperor to show his determination to be loyal to the imperial court.

Zhu Changxi was moved by Gu Zizhong's words, and was so moved that his nose flowed turbulently.

He also knows that no matter what decision he makes, his father will support him.

So he listened to Gu Zizhong's words and took the silver.

Gu Zizhong can be regarded as having done another good thing for the Zhu family.

She was very relieved, and when she went to chat with the Empress Dowager again, she straightened her back, as if she was becoming more and more confident.

The Empress Dowager admired the girl in front of her very much.

did not shy away from it, the Empress Dowager said that she once valued Gu Zizhong very much, and also valued the Jinling Zhu Gu family.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor would not become the prince when he was young, it would be difficult to say, and the emperor couldn't clean up the mess at that time, the empress dowager might have summoned Gu Zi to the palace.

However, at the beginning, the treasury was empty, and the imperial court became more and more powerless.

That's why the Empress Dowager kept saying good things to other people.

This also includes Gu Zizhong.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager cried a lot of emotion to Gu Zizhong, which means that no one in the court can beat anyone, so don't make trouble for your Jinling Zhu family.

Looking back now, she was very emotional.

Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Jinling Zhu and Gu families not only did not make trouble, but played a decisive role in suppressing the rebellion.

Therefore, in front of Gu Zizhong, the Empress Dowager has admiration, remorse, and shame.

Gu Zizhong is not a cautious person, everything they do is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family.

Of course, by the way, it is also for the sake of the Jinling Zhu Gu family themselves.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager can understand the loyalty of the Jinling Zhu and Gu families at this time, and for Gu Zizhong, this is enough.

Death for a confidant!

Gu Zizhong can also be regarded as a "scholar" at this time.

She served the Empress Dowager as her grandmother.

The Empress Dowager was very happy.

is reunited, and the Zhu brothers can be united again.

Gu Zizhong felt that this was very good.

But suddenly it was not good.

Because Zhang Xianzhong is the opposite again.

This guy surrenders when he is given a bowl of rice, and rebels if he doesn't eat.

And anytime, anywhere, if you want to rebel, you rebel, and you don't play cards according to the routine at all.

Gu Zi panicked again, because the era of peace she hoped for was finally over.

She vaguely felt that Brother Zishan was going to break his promise again.

The wind and rain are about to destroy the building!

Gu Zizhong went to Li Nanyu and wanted to discuss countermeasures with her.
