When there were still more than ten meters away from Kunning Palace, I saw a figure turning back and forth in front of the door, and suddenly saw Chang Yu coming and hurriedly greeted him.

It's an old man, and he is still very familiar, and Chang Yu instantly remembered this person, Guozhang Zhou Kui! That is, the hexagram god who scolded him last time they collided.

was about to salute in a hurry, but Zhou Kui's face was anxious: "Grandpa Sun, you go and report to the queen again......"

"Master Guo, it's really not a small one who won't inform you, it's the queen who let go, I don't see it!" The eunuch next to Chang Yu directly interrupted Zhou Kui, with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry for the father-in-law, our family still has something to do, let's go first" said and pulled Chang Yu into Kunning Palace in a hurry.

Chang Yu had a rough idea in his heart, but he couldn't help but ask the eunuch surnamed Sun next to him: "Why doesn't the queen see the princess?" ”

"This thing, it's really strange, the last time the abbot came to the palace to visit the queen, but I don't know why I angered the queen, and I quarreled in the palace at that time, and directly drove the abbot out, and said that I would never see him again."

Eunuch Sun looked confused.

"But what about donating silver?" Chang Yu said this deliberately, and Eunuch Sun gave him a look that everyone knows: "I didn't expect this to be known to Chang Gonggong."

deserves it, Chang Yu secretly scolded in his heart, Zhou Kui is a strange person, his life is simply a legend, he was originally a fortune teller, but because of his daughter Zhou Yufeng, the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and his profession changed from a fortune teller to the boss of an entertainment company (Music Fang), forming a band, and the most famous artist signed under his name is Chen Yuanyuan, yes, the Chen Yuanyuan who was angry with the Sangui brother who later became a red face......

After moving to the capital, his people collected money everywhere, loved money like life, but were extremely stingy and stingy to the point of perversion, as early as the beginning of the year, the imperial treasury was tight, Chongzhen ordered all the emperor's relatives and relatives to donate money to the ministers of the court, knowing that the country's chief was rich Chongzhen even sent the eunuch Gao Ding to borrow money from him to make up the military salary, but this old dog strongly objected that the family was poor......

After hearing this, Queen Zhou secretly sighed to Chongzhen that her father was blind, if the thief broke the city, how could he keep his family wealth, so she called her father to reprimand, and Zhou Kui donated 5,000 taels (some say 2,000 taels).

But at this time, because this old dog has caused a very bad and bad impact, the rest of the emperor's relatives and relatives of the Manchu Dynasty have followed suit, deliberately made their homes in tatters, and put them up for sale.

And the most speechless thing is that Queen Zhou saw her father being so aggressive, secretly sold her jewelry in exchange for 5,000 taels of silver, and asked someone to hand it over to Zhou Kui and let him donate in his own name to set an example, so as not to let others laugh, but the funny thing is that this goods actually kept 2,000 privately, and reluctantly donated the remaining 3,000, and her face was extremely ugly.

This still can't reflect his love of money as his life, after the thieves broke the city, he arrested the nobles in the city one by one and tortured them to force silver, Zhou Kui as the national abbot is a key target, but this is hard to say that there is no money, so the wife and daughter-in-law were killed, or not, and the eldest son was killed or not.

So Li Zicheng, who specializes in all kinds of disobedience, personally went online, tied up Zhou Kui, his youngest son and nephew and whipped him with a horsewhip until he was dying, and this thing understood a truth, when people die, it is useless to keep more silver, so they recruited.

Three million taels! (It is said that 700,000, it is better to write a novel and exaggerate, so I will use the data of 3 million here) At that time, the treasury was less than 200,000 taels.

And it only takes about 100,000 taels to organize a tough battle.

Three million taels, Chang Yu, who was walking straight towards Kunning Palace, thought silently in his heart, and glanced back at the old man who was anxiously waiting at the door, with a playful smile on his face.

"Where did you go last night?" Before Chang Yu walked in front of the Kunning Palace, the crown prince Zhu Cihong walked out of the hall when he heard the sound, trotted down to Chang Yu and asked in a low voice.

"I went to the house to do some errands, I didn't come in one step, and I stayed out for one night," Chang Yu whispered as he walked.

"Prince, prince......" At this time, Zhou Kui, who was not far away, saw Zhu Cihong and exhaled loudly.

Zhu Cihong frowned, couldn't hide his disgust, turned his head to the eunuch surnamed Sun and said, "If someone blasts out, he will not be allowed to enter the palace in the future."

"Hey, it's come to this" Chang Yu sighed slightly,

"He is greedy and stingy, and he is ruthless and cold, but this palace must not forgive me for harming my child" At this time, Queen Zhou appeared at the door of the palace, looking into the distance, with a sad face, but extremely firm.

Chang Yu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but he was shocked in his heart, he didn't see Queen Zhou's haggard face for a few days, it can be seen that her inner torment in the past few days is very comparable, after all, who has acne on who hurts.

"Come in and talk" Empress Zhou retracted her distant gaze, squeezed out a smile at Chang Yu, and then approached the hall.

Soft seat, hot tea, Chang Yu is as calm as water to sit.

"I saw the emperor in this palace last night" Queen Zhou took a sip of tea, waved away the other eunuchs and palace maids around her, and glanced at Chang Yu, but saw that he was still looking at his nose and nose, and his right hand was holding the teapot and rubbing it gently.

"And the prince together" Empress Zhou continued: "Not as the emperor and empress of the Ming Dynasty and the crown prince, but as an ordinary family of three, sat down and talked for half a night, talked about the future of the Zhu family, the future of the Ming Dynasty, and that dream."

Chang Yu's hand stopped, and he glanced up at Zhu Cihong, but saw that he was crying silently, and Queen Zhou knew what he meant when she looked at him with sharp eyes.

"Don't worry, I didn't mention you, as you said, it doesn't make much sense to carry you to the court except for wading through those troubled waters and getting dirty, but it's better to do things in peace behind the scenes"

After a pause, he continued: "That dream has become a fact, and it is being verified one by one, although everything is destined, but we must do our best, and in the end, it is really difficult to disobey the mandate of heaven, and I can only admit it."

Chang Yu nodded silently.

Empress Zhou continued: "At present, the emperor is busy with state affairs, and the matter of moving south has been proposed to the court, and the most urgent thing at the moment is to transfer troops and generals, as well as prepare food and salary. But these are all court matters, we don't have that heart, but do what we can in the harem."

Speaking of this, he was stunned again, and glanced at Chang Yu: "The matter of transferring the treasures in the palace you said, the palace also mentioned it to the emperor, and the emperor also has intentions but worries, this matter must be extremely secret, presumably you know the internal cause."

Chang Yu nodded, of course he knew, not to mention that it was the royal treasures that were transferred, how many people were angry, and they needed a large number of guards, and even more people who had been trusted to do it, but who Chongzhen could trust at the moment, those who he had trusted before, were later proved to be more disgusting than the other.

There is also one most important thing, if the news is not secret, and the news is revealed, it will inevitably cause panic, and even the emperor has begun to pack, so you can imagine how much ...... impact will be.

is also because Chang Yu once wrote some lists of loyalty and rebellion, Chongzhen who watched it was shocked, gasped, and suddenly felt that no one could be trusted, Li Guozhen, Zhu Chunchen, Zhou Kui...... Originally, these henchmen ......

"Of course, the palace and the prince believe you the most, but in order to hide your identity, I strongly recommend Gong Yonggu, but in fact, you are still fully responsible......"

There is only Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horse, who has always been trusted by Chongzhen, and at this time he was strongly recommended by the prince as a confidant, but the horse is also not allowed to be an official in power, and only participates in court discussions as a confidant.

Queen Zhou kept speaking softly and slowly, Chang Yu listened quietly, and Zhu Cihong also obediently wiped her tears beside her, and time slipped by minute by second.

"In the name of re-registering and checking the treasures in the palace, pack and seal those items, and then I will arrange trustworthy people to ship out a part of the ...... every day," Chang Yu proposed, and the three of them began to sum up again.

"Queen, I still have something to ask for," after some discussion, Chang Yu suddenly said.

"Just say, what this palace can do is try its best to satisfy you," Zhou Huanggong said solemnly.

"I want a token to go out of the city, and I can enter and exit the ninety-six city gates outside the capital at will within twelve hours."

When Empress Zhou heard this, she was silent for a moment, if it was a pass token for the imperial city, it would never be possible, but there were inner and outer city gates, although there were very few, such as the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the governor of the Nine Gates of the Beijing Camp.

"I'll do it" Zhu Cihong, who has always been a good baby, took it without waiting for Queen Zhou to speak.

Then several people discussed it for a while, Chang Yu said goodbye, turned around and left after giving a salute.

"Grandpa Chang" Queen Zhou suddenly stopped him again.

Chang Yu turned around, but saw Queen Zhou's sad face,

"This, can this dream be solved?"

"Queen, obey the destiny of heaven and do your best" Chang Yu closed his eyes slightly, and took a long breath: "The emperor may be able to change his fortune by sending troops!" ”

Said with a slight smile: "I remember that in the dream, the prefect of Pingyang Prefecture, Zhang Luran, surrendered to the thieves, Taiyuan because of Zhang Xiong's dedication to the city, and the imperial court did not know the specific attack route of the thief army, but now, Zhang Luran was dismissed, Zhang Xiong was banned, they all had no chance to surrender the city, and the imperial court also formulated a plan for the thief's attack route, which shows that we are already quietly changing the pattern, and it is really hard to say in the future, but we still have to have confidence, all this we are doing now is just preparing for the worst outcome."

Queen Zhou was teary-eyed and nodded: "I hope, it's just ...... The imperial court can't even make up 100,000 military salaries now......."
