Chapter 732: The Second Elder Returns to the City
Zhu Changxi didn't think so.
Zhu Sanzi was moved by Zhu Changxi's emotions, and his face was already green: "You and I are both surnamed Zhu." Let's go up a few generations, aren't we all emperors? Don't you see I'm not afraid?"
If the Empress Dowager wanted to attack their Jinling Zhu family, none of the brothers under Zhu Changxi would be able to escape.
Zhu Sanzi said this, and Zhu Changxi was still frightened.
Gu Zizhong wrote a letter to his father and father-in-law who were far away in the capital, telling him about the situation at home.
Unexpectedly, two days later, the two old men came back.
Everyone was surprised.
Gu Zizhong also specially sent two sedan chairs to meet him at the city gate.
However, on the way there, they met Zhu Gu and the two princes.
After taking them home, Gu Zizhong's heart was steady.
It is okay to have the elderly at home to support you.
If Brother Zishan is allowed to take over the burden of the Zhu family now, I am afraid that he will collapse.
I heard that Prince Zhu was back, and the rich man Li of Jiangnan and the Marquis of Wuqing came to visit.
The Zhu family is now lively.
Gu Zizhong specially arranged to set up a few tables in the main room, and when it was noon on the day of the erection, the younger generation of them sat together, and the older people sat together.
Zhu Wangye has not eaten such a sumptuous meal for a long time.
Especially when you are far away in the capital, you are away from home, after all, living in a guest country, nothing is satisfactory.
Zhu Wangye ate his hometown dishes and nodded in praise.
Zhu Changxi sat next to his father, although the two were not at the same table, Zhu Changxi's attention was all on his father.
He waited for his father to give him an idea.
Zhu Wangye was quite surprised, after all, the status of Marquis Wu Qing was higher than him.
Rich Li is second to none among the rich people in Jiangnan.
Both of these big men sat down beside him and kept him company.
He also paid attention to the two people beside him from time to time.
Rich Li is hindered by his status and is not easy to speak.
Wu Qinghou was the first to speak: "Brother Zhu, how are you in the capital?"
Zhu Wang Ye also paused, not knowing how to answer.
With a dry cough, he seemed much more comfortable, and then said: "Nothing, except for accompanying the Empress Dowager to the court all day long, there is nothing to do." There have been no major events in the past two days, and the people below have not had any troubles. The emperor is young and doesn't know anything about court affairs, so there is no big trouble. ”
These few words are said lightly, as if they don't care at all.
Wu Qinghou didn't seem to be too satisfied with Zhu Wangye's answer.
People say that the court is going to be a mess, can it be okay?
Seeing that Brother Zhu was embarrassed, Gu Wangye immediately grabbed the conversation and said, "The two of us were originally auxiliary ministers appointed by the Empress Dowager, and after our auxiliary ministers, they were basically some trivial things, and there were no major matters. So we're back. The court was quite calm. ”
Wu Qinghou put down the chopsticks in his hand, was stunned, and frowned: "No, will the few people who can make trouble stop? Brother Zhu of Liangguang, when I was in charge with him in the past, I felt that this guy was an old fritter, and he could calm down? Also, although Zhu Guoxuan has returned to his hometown, there are still six of them." How many of the six are at the mercy of the emperor? Aren't the others still at the mercy of the local princes?"
When everyone heard this, their brows were furrowed.
Wu Qinghou thought about it, sighed, and then said: "Alas, I'd better tell the truth, anyway, these people sitting here are their own people, I don't need to be glammy." Now the imperial court is selling official titles, and the people of the six departments are winning people's hearts. You two brothers, you don't notice it at all?"
Maybe he was too serious and scared Zhu Gu and the others.
Wu Qinghou leaned back, haha, and looked a little surprised: "Won't the two of you also sell officials?"
Zhu Wangye and Gu Wangye looked at each other awkwardly and smiled.
The two of them don't have any officials in their names, and now in this situation, it's good to protect themselves, what kind of officials are they selling?
Wu Qinghou was also joking, and then said: "I'm not joking at the fact that you two have no power. I just want to ask you, is there no sign in the court at all?"
How could it not be!
These two people just want to stabilize people's hearts and don't want to talk about it.
Zhu Changxi is waiting to listen to this paragraph.
Gu Wangye looked at Brother Zhu and didn't want to speak.
He took the initiative to say: "Those signs are naturally there, but they have nothing to do with us." My son-in-law, don't be afraid, we two old guys are in the way in front, are you still afraid that the court will find you?"
Zhu Changxi blushed, and in front of the elders, he had no backbone at all.
Gu Wangye persuaded him: "The Empress Dowager does have a will, and she asked an adult surnamed Guo to send it over." ”
Gu Zizhong's mind immediately buzzed.
Zhu Changxi fixed his expression and did not move.
Brother Zishan locked up Master Gu, and it took several days to lock him up.
Isn't this tantamount to slapping the Queen Mother in the face?
She was almost crying, her mind was buzzing, and she didn't know how to speak.
Zhu Changxi wanted to speak, but Gu Zizhong reached out and pressed his hand.
Zhu Changxi looked back at her.
She opened her mouth first: "What will happen if you don't listen to Yi's order?"
Everyone's nerves tensed.
Zhu Sanzi originally persuaded Brother Zhu, but when he heard Uncle Gu say this, his heart also rose to his throat.
They also dared to shut up the people sent by the Empress Dowager, and it seemed that they were impatient.
Gu Wang Ye smiled softly and said, "It's nothing." Lord Guo returned to the capital, and without saying anything else, he said that the meaning had been transmitted. ”
Zhu Changxi was stunned again.
Zhu Wangye smiled in a low voice: "The imperial court still needs to rely on us." Now there is no one around the Empress Dowager who can be trusted. What she can believe is our Jinling people. So what can she do with us? We all know that Zishan has detained Master Gu. ”
Zhu Changxi lowered his hair and smiled.
Zhu Wangye said: "Don't be afraid, we're fine." But why did the two of us come back? The court is fine, the Empress Dowager just wants us to be a shield. Later, we didn't have any use, so we came back first. Most of the soldiers raised by the emperor when he was there are no more things to talk about. The Empress Dowager has to rely on us. So what we say, she has to listen to what the old man has to listen to. ”
Zhu Changxi said suddenly: "How good would it be for the imperial court to move the capital of the Ming Dynasty back to Jinling?"
Zhu Wangye's whole body trembled.
What do these stupid kids think? They are the overlords of Jiangnan. When the capital is moved, they don't have that status.
