Gu Zizhong first glared at his aunt.

Immediately, she smiled contemptuously, but she felt very sweet in her heart.

Where does Aunt Cui understand her relationship with Brother Zishan.

She didn't speak, and then looked down to get the letter.

Aunt Cui's face turned a little purple.

I'm bored, what is this sentence for?

Gu Zizhong packed the letter, handed it to Aunt Cui, and told again: "Auntie, please find someone who is at ease to deliver it." ”

Aunt Cui was much more kind and respectful, bowed down to take the letter, and hurried out to deliver it.

Gu Zizhong's face was red, thinking back to the letter he had just written, and he still had palpitations.

After all, it would be embarrassing for her to write it by herself, so she would have thought that there was an old man watching behind her back.

Aunt Cui can be seen through her thoughts.

However, she was still relieved that her aunt was doing things, and she was relieved that the letter was sent.

But one day, when she heard the news, the Tartar was making a fuss again.

After the Nine-Sided Mutiny, the imperial court sent a large number of troops to clean up the rebels on the Nine Sides.

However, no more troops have been sent over there.

This year's Central Plains was another bumper harvest.

Feng Minglai said specially: "There is a weather problem on the grassland, and there is no good harvest this year. Most of their cattle and sheep also died because of the grass problem, and most of them were so hungry that they went south to grab food to eat. ”

Gu Zizhong didn't have any special feeling when he heard it, after all, the Tartar soldiers would come to make trouble almost every year.

Whether they have food to eat or not, they will make trouble under the pretext of lack of food.

If you can make trouble, you will continue to make trouble, and if you can't make trouble, you will ask the court for peace.

It's their usual trick.

She shook her head and said, "That's what these people are. Ever since Da Yuan was driven north by our Ming army, they have been coming down to make trouble. ”

But after all, this is too far away from them, and they can't fight with them, so they just take it as a story and listen to it casually.

Gu Zizhong got up and washed his hands, not caring at all.

She was still thinking about the letter she wrote to Zhu Changxi, and she didn't know when she would reply.

Feng Ming didn't talk about it anymore.

Aunt Cui is also talking about this matter.

This involves her hometown of Chengde.

The Great Wall in the north can't defend against the Tartar soldiers, and the Central Plains is in danger.

Aunt Cui looked a little worried.

Gu Zizhong asked about the nine sides again.

Aunt Cui is serious, after all, she still knows a little about this kind of thing: "Among those people in the Nine Sides, who are officials and leaders, they will either die in battle, or they will be arrested and beheaded, and the other soldiers below are basically just arrested." After all, everyone is from the Central Plains, and those soldiers are desperate to do this. ”

Gu Zizhong didn't care about this, but what she cared about was Aunt Cui, so she took this opportunity to comfort Aunt Cui: "Chengde Mansion is around the capital, and the imperial court will definitely send heavy troops to guard it." ”

If only that were the case.

Aunt Cui prayed secretly in her heart.

Wu Yicheng was also anxious, after all, his wife was in Chengde.

Sure enough, Lord Futai also came to talk to Lord Zhu.

However, he was stopped by Gu Zizhong.

Prince Zhu is old, and now he has handed over all the affairs of the family to Gu Zizhong to deal with.

Gu Zizhong was stunned.

Lord Futai is also an older person, and he has been in the court longer than she has been out.

Even if he left the capital and went to a local official position, it would be ten thousand times stronger than Gu Zizhong.

Gu Zi saw people again, and he was respectful.

But Lord Futai is also a human being, when he saw Gu Zizhong, he talked and laughed with her, and there was no fight at all.

Gu Zizhong gradually relaxed his mood and relaxed his vigilance.

When Lord Futai came to their Zhu family, he must not have visited the door at random.

It must be that the imperial court has something to do again.

Gu Zizhong has always been thinking about this in her heart, so she still keeps paying attention to it and is ready at any time.

Once Lord Futai says something related to the imperial court, she will respond at any time, and she will not be shocked and in a hurry.

Sure enough, Lord Futai's face gradually changed, and he took out a letter from his chest.

This letter immediately attracted Gu Zizhong's attention.

She suddenly remembered, and just opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Lord Futai's words.

"This is a letter from Zhu Dashizi to you. Since you're here, I don't need to look for you. Young lady, please take a look. ”

Futai-sama handed her the letter.

She took two steps over with a red face and took the letter, and hurried back to sit down.

Master Futai's face is serious, so you can never guess what he is thinking.

This letter is not sticky, and no one knows whether he has read the contents of it or not.

The more Gu Zizhong thought about it, the more chaotic his heart became.

She had already planned it, but now her mind was completely confused.

Lord Futai asked her to read the contents of the letter, but she was embarrassed to read it.

Handing the letter to Feng Ming and asking Feng Ming to take it back and put it away first, Gu Zizhong sat up straight, and said solemnly: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about me." It's all small things between us. Now the affairs of our Jinling and the imperial court are the most important. ”

She already has a score in her heart, and Lord Futai will definitely talk about Brother Zishan and Jiubian.

The imperial court has already decided to do so more than once.

Lord Futai really mentioned the matter of the Nine Sides to her.

Zhu Changxi is now in the capital and is the best candidate for the border area.

Lord Futai said bluntly: "The nine sides are going to be chaotic, and the lives of the people in the border are not guaranteed." This time the Tatars robbed a total of fifteen counties. There are county towns in Shaanxi and Shanxi that were robbed by the Tatars. More than 200 of our people have died. ”

Gu Zi stared again.

Lord Futai spread out his hands, and the tear stains on the side of his eyes were almost soaked again: "After all, the imperial court is weak, and the power is not concentrated. So you see......"

He was embarrassed to say this.

Gu Zizhong actually wondered what he was embarrassed about as an elder.

Gu Zizhong himself said bluntly: "Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it." If Zizhong can help, he will definitely help you. Brother Zishan, isn't he just a ready-made general? Let him go and defend the nine sides, and I also agree. ”

Lord Futai smiled a little contemptuously.

Isn't that a request?

Gu Zizhong felt as if a boulder had fallen in his heart.

She suddenly realized that things were not as simple as she thought.

Although Lord Futai was not very embarrassed, his attitude was hesitant, and his tone was tactful, but he still said his request: "The emperor asked Jinling to send troops to rescue, and there are many soldiers in the barracks in Jinling City, which can just fill the deficit in the nine sides......"

Gu Zizhong's eyes widened.

She almost got to her feet.
