This is true, and Gu Zizhong used to be wary of this Lord Sun, but later Jinyiwei's incident made her forget about Lord Sun.

Aunt Cui's words woke up Gu Zizhong.

That's right, Jin Yiwei came here, not necessarily to find Brother Zishan, maybe it was to guard that Lord Sun.

A harmonious smile appeared on her face, and she said, "The emperor later took back King Kang's military power to the imperial court, so he put that Lord Sun back. But since Master Sun returned to Jinling, I haven't seen him. ”

Aunt Cui said in a mocking tone: "Lord Sun, after he came, he was very timid, and he shrank into his own mansion at every turn. If you want to see him, you must not go to his house to find him. ”

These words amused Gu Zizhong.

Gu Zizhong's heart was relieved, and he didn't say anything more.

After two days, Brother Zishan stopped making trouble.

Gu Zizhong was still wondering, Feng Ming told her that Aunt Cui went to teach Zhu Changxi.

Gu Zizhong covered his lips and laughed secretly.

Brother Zishan is afraid of his elders.

He listens to what the elders say.

She was relieved and took care of the affairs of the family very well.

Gu Zizhong heard that the affairs of the barracks were going well, and those soldiers did not have any emotions, and some of them were even loyal to Jinling City.

She thought it was strange.

My cousin would come to the house when he was fine.

Gu Zizhong expressed doubts to his cousin: "The emperor has died, and the imperial court has also put pressure on our side." Isn't there any movement in your barracks?"

My cousin was still surprised: "Don't talk nonsense. It's right in the barracks right now. Many people say that it is right to follow Zhu Shizi of Jinling. Because with Zhu Shizi, there is money, food, clothes, and some people can even ask for a good wife in Jinling City. There are so many benefits to being a soldier here, who wouldn't want to come. ”

Gu Zizhong heard it freshly.

The cousin said: "When the emperor died, none of the civil and military officials in the court had any money. Therefore, the Ming army that fought in the war did not have any salary. They can only fight for the court, but they can't take any money. Who wants to do this kind of thing that doesn't charge money?"

That's it.

The treasury is empty, year after year, the treasury is beyond its means.

Gu Zizhong understood, and he was also impressed by Brother Zishan.

The cousin said: "Those people in the court are unwilling to do it, and several people have gone elsewhere. There are also people who want to give gifts, hoping to find a relationship to leave the capital and go to the local government to be an official. This kind of thing sounds new. ”

Gu Zizhong was laughed at by his cousin.

The cousin continued: "And what about our Jinling? With the silver and silver subsidies of the Jiangnan fathers, our salary here is not a lot of money every month. And we still have meat, vegetables, and clothes to wear. This kind of good thing, those who are soldiers outside can't even dream of it. ”

Gu Zizhong is very beautiful, and he thinks that Jinling City can be saved.

Two days ago, she was still having a nightmare that her hometown was beaten down by the imperial court.

My cousin smiled and said, "Now there are so many people in our barracks, and everyone is working together. It's not like other places, like the Nine Sides, they haven't paid their money for months, and they've been attacked by Tartar soldiers. They're getting impatient. ”

Oh.

Gu Zizhong knew that her cousin was sometimes willing to brag, but she was also skeptical.

She didn't question, she didn't refute, she just listened and nodded.

My cousin went back to the barracks, and her heart relaxed.

I don't know what the situation is like outside, anyway, she is relieved, and there will be nothing wrong in the southern Jiangsu area.

But that won't last long.

When it was evening, she went to ask Brother Zishan.

Brother Zishan was so busy in the barracks during the day, and he was very sleepy when he came back, so he thought about quickly turning his head to sleep.

Gu Zizhong didn't let her fall asleep.

She shook Brother Zishan's shoulders and woke him up.

She told Brother Zishan about her inner worries.

Zhu Changxi felt that she was talking nonsense.

She said seriously: "No matter how solid Jiangnan is, it is not a long-term solution after all." In the end, we still have to throw ourselves into the court and follow the current emperor. You're fine now, of course you don't mean to rebel, but you don't bother with the court. In this way, sooner or later it will be you who will be passive. ”

Zhu Changxi yawned: "Do you know how chaotic the court is now? Do I dare to say anything? You still say that the Empress Dowager loves you." But why haven't I heard that her old man is coming to help us?"

This sudden question stopped Gu Zizhong.

Also, she really can't answer that.

The Empress Dowager can't even protect herself now, how can she protect Jinling?

However, they still have to take refuge in the emperor in Jinling City in the end.

Gu Zizhong told Brother Zishan what she was thinking.

Zhu Changxi already had this idea: "I don't need you to say it, when the situation in the court is clear, I will naturally make a decision." Let me tell you, my father and father-in-law did not eat for nothing in the court. The two of them are our eyes. ”

Without further ado, Zhu Changxi was very impatient and lay down and fell asleep.

It didn't take long for him to snore.

Gu Zizhong was really helpless.

Early in the morning, Gu Zi recollected the accounts brought by the housekeeper and looked at them, but he couldn't remember them at all.

She sighed beside Feng Ming: "I'm dazzled now, I've seen it once, but I don't count it in my heart." I can't read it, Feng Ming, you can help me look at it. ”

Feng Ming helped her take a look, and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, the county lord's face was not very good.

Feng Ming looked at her and said, "County Lord, are you feeling unwell now?" If you feel unwell, just tell me directly. I'll go find a doctor and show you. ”

Gu Zizhong waved his hand.

Aunt Cui came over and saw the county lord's problem at a glance.

The county lord has something on her mind again.

Aunt Cui separated the housekeeper and servants, came to Gu Zizhong's side, and said, "County Lord, I just heard a report that some of the people on the nine sides have rebelled. ”

Gu Zi is very gossipy, and he also likes to listen to the news outside.

She quickly asked, what is the situation.

Aunt Cui said: "Jiubian has been restless for the past two days, but the court has ignored Jiubian. So those soldiers were reluctant to rebel against the court. Because the Tatars had no food, they had to go south to get some food. Jiubian is too close to the Mongolian steppe, and the Tatar soldiers are close at hand. ”

Gu Zi said solemnly: "How can the imperial court not care? ”

That's the question, Aunt Cui smiled awkwardly.
