Suddenly, she looked at Li Guorui, who was looking for something, and hurriedly asked, "Did he persuade you to change your hexagram?" ”

"That's him!" When Li Guorui heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for him, I would still be the Hou Ye now, and at least half of the family fortune would still be there!" It's all because he hurts me, and it's hurt me ......."

Before he finished his words, he heard footsteps outside, and at the same time a voice sounded: "I said Brother Li, how could I harm you!" You're not good, you kindly gave you an idea yesterday, and you agree with it! ”

Li Guorui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, turned his head to look, but saw a middle-aged man stepping inside, who else could it be if it wasn't Linhuai Marquis Li Zushu!

Suddenly, Li Guorui pointed at Li Zushu and shouted: "Why didn't you hurt me, do you dare to deny it now?" If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here! ”

"No, no, no!" When Li Zushu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said sincerely, "It was Zhou Quina who coerced you to hurt you, don't blame me." ”

His words made Li Guorui stunned after hearing it. For a moment, I forgot to continue to condemn and find him desperately.

If you really want to talk about it, it does seem to make some sense. If it weren't for Zhou Kui's backlash and a fierce stab in the back, he wouldn't have ended up like this, and maybe he wouldn't have to pay 200,000 taels of silver.

After all, when he first sold pots and pans, he saw the bustle at the door and heard the movements, which were all beneficial to him. Moreover, the subordinates of the nobles are also induced in the crowd, and if it is not good, it is really okay.

Thinking of this, the anger towards Li Zushu in his heart was vented, and when he thought of what happened now, he sat back on the stool in annoyance, with a sad face that was loveless.

"Sister-in-law, can you let me and Brother Li have a few words alone." Li Zushu turned his head to Mrs. Li Guorui and said, "Or the current situation may not be irreparable." ”

Hearing this, all of a sudden, a glimmer of hope immediately appeared in the eyes of Li Guorui and his wife. Looking at Li Zushu, it was as if he saw a life-saving straw.

Even Li Guorui couldn't wait, and hurriedly said to his wife: "Why don't you hurry up and make a pot of tea...... Boil some hot water, go, go! ”

It was scraped dry and scraped clean by the East Factory, and where did the tea come from to entertain guests!

Poor, if you want to be poor, you can only boil hot water.

When Mrs. Li Guorui heard this, she hurriedly got up and went out. It's just that when I go out, out of curiosity, I want to eavesdrop on what can I do to save this situation?

However, as if Li Zushu knew that she wanted to eavesdrop, he actually followed, smiling and watching Mrs. Li Guorui, who was a little embarrassed, walk away, before he closed the door and went in to talk to Li Guorui.

"Brother Li, no matter what, you are the cousin of the Empress Dowager Xiaoding, and you are a relative of the emperor." Li Zushu said in a low voice, "Even if the Heavenly Family is ruthless, you can't do anything on the surface, right?" ”

Li Guorui listened and nodded. If there is no relation, today's matter will not be resolved, and he will be arrested in Dongchang Prison.

But speaking of which, he actually envied Li Zushu's dignity even more.

He won the title by relying on his relatives, and his foundation and connections could not be compared with Li Zushu's military merits. Especially Li Zushu, the ancestor is not only the founder of the country, but also the nephew of Emperor Taizu, and this relationship is even more incredible.

This Li Zushu is the eleventh grandson of Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang, and in the Ming Dynasty, he was the real nobleman of the roots. Not to mention the countless protégés and former officials, just the relationship between the founding heroes can make them and the Ming Dynasty and the country rest together. It is said that the Li family has always maintained the iron coupon passed down from their ancestors!

It is precisely for this reason that when Li Zushu came to the door last night, he was a little surprised, and naturally believed what Li Zushu said.

Li Zushu saw Li Guorui nodding, so he continued: "So, your chance to turn the tables is on the word 'absolute'. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Guorui couldn't understand, so he hurriedly asked.

Li Zushu was not in a hurry to answer, turned his head to look outside, and after not finding anyone listening to the root of the wall, he whispered to Li Guorui: "You think, today's events, you must be very sad, you are so poor that you have nothing, and if you are forced to do this, you will hang yourself." In this way, when this matter spreads, will it be said that the emperor is too ruthless, and his own relatives, why is it so. You're right? Moreover, we will also try our best to spread the news and seek justice for Brother Li. Think about it, with our ability, is it possible that this will turn around? ”

Li Guorui's face turned a little pale when he heard this: "This ...... How can this be, I'm dead, why do you want justice for? You...... Are you teasing me? ”

"Brother Li, you are really honest." When Li Zushu heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "You can really commit suicide!" ”

"Then ......" Li Guorui was a little confused by what he said.

Seeing this, Li Zushu secretly cursed a pig in his heart, and then explained in a low voice: "Brother Li hanged himself in the room, I watched outside the door, and as soon as Brother Li hanged himself, I broke into the door and saved Brother Li." In this way, Brother Li has also committed suicide, and I can also prove it to Brother Li. Isn't that it? ”

Hearing this, Li Guorui couldn't help but be overjoyed. It would be great if he could save himself from dying and save himself from the current situation. Even if the odds of success are unlikely, at least try it, what if it can be reversed? Or save a little bit, it's better than the current situation, that's also good!

Thinking so, Li Guorui agreed.

The two of them immediately began to act, but when Li Guorui stood on the stool and his head was about to reach into the rope sleeve, he said a little worriedly: "If you don't do it directly, even if I have committed suicide?" ”

"This can't work, do you think the East Factory is all decorations? To do it, you have to be real, otherwise it will be a crime of deception, and this crime will be great! When Li Zushu heard this, he immediately vetoed.

Li Guorui seems to make sense when he thinks about it, the crime of bullying the monarch is not a joke, there is still one hanging in Zhengyangmen!

Thinking like this, he had no choice but to obey, but at the last moment, he hesitated again and said to Li Zushu again: "I am in heavy health, you have to come in quickly and save me, otherwise, you will suffer!" ”

"Brother Li, rest assured!" When Li Zushu heard this, he hurriedly patted his chest and promised, "Don't look at my family, but it is passed down by martial arts, this action is fast!" ”

Hearing this, Li Guorui was relieved a lot, and after some more advice, he started acting.

Inside the house, Li Guorui watched Li Zushu standing at the door staring at the movement inside, and after confirming that he could see his movements, he put his neck into the rope sleeve and kicked off the stool.

The chubby weight made him breathless, and he hurriedly signaled with his eyes, and hurriedly beckoned Li Zushu to come in and save people with his hand.

But who knows, at this time, Li Zushu's face showed a hint of mocking sneer. didn't make any moves, just watched Li Guorui struggle to survive there.

At this moment, Li Guorui suddenly woke up to the fact that he was going to die by himself!

This time, he panicked, but it was useless, he struggled for a while, and then he didn't struggle again, just a corpse floating there.

Li Zushu, who was outside the house, sneered when he saw it, and when he heard that there seemed to be movement coming from the courtyard, he hurriedly avoided it.

There was indeed movement, it was Mrs. Li Guorui who came over with a pot of hot water.

coughed at the door, then pushed the door in, and said at the same time: "Master, Hou Ye, drink some hot water to drive away the cold!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, when he looked up, he suddenly saw his master hanging on the beam of the house, floating there, but without a trace of struggle.

With a "bang", the thing in her hand fell to the ground, and Mrs. Li Guorui was so frightened that she sat on the ground, and then cried: "Come on, come on......

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Li Zushu appeared, and after seeing the situation, he pretended to be surprised and said, "What's going on, when I went to Xiaojie just now, I also persuaded Brother Li to want to open a little, why did he hang himself!" ”

rubbed the time, and when he finally rescued Li Guorui, he was already out of breath.

Seeing this, Li Zushu said indignantly: "The imperial court actually forced the nobles to hang themselves, and it is not a major crime of rebellion, this is too much!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Li Guorui and said to her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, you must handle Brother Li's funeral well, his justice, our other families will definitely stand up and ask for an explanation!" ”

Mrs. Li Guorui, with a sad face at this time, just lay on Li Guorui's corpse and cried, her mind was a mess, and when she heard his words, she whimpered and said: "How can you have the money to do it, master, why did you leave my mother and daughter, what should we do in the future......"

When Li Zushu heard this, he immediately took out a few silver tickets from his arms, stuffed them into Mrs. Li Guorui's hand, and said at the same time: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad, Brother Li's matter, the rest of us are in charge, and we will definitely ask for an explanation for you." ”

After saying that, after a few more perfunctory words, he left, but did not return to his house.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen had a busy day and finally had time to rest.

He was quite satisfied with this day. I started to lay out before, solved the biggest trouble through the queen, and got 700,000 taels of silver at once, and with these silver in my hands, I can fight a good battle with Kannai Jianyu again.

In this world, in fact, no one is not afraid of death, especially those royal relatives and nobles. Once they realize that there is a possibility of catastrophe, the compromise will definitely be compromised, because they don't have hard bones in them.

In the original history, Emperor Chongzhen's disposal methods were not good, so he couldn't do anything. For example, in the matter of Zhou Kui, he just sent a eunuch to persuade Zhou Kui to set an example. Even the queen secretly gave 5,000 taels of silver to his father to donate it. It's no wonder that this kind of behavior that doesn't hurt or itch, and is even obviously kind words, can make people feel scared.

To be reasonable, it is even more useless to say that the Ming Dynasty will be sad and that it is likely to lose the country. If these royal nobles can be solved by reasoning, it will not be the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will not die.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen gave Empress Zhou a very strong impression from the beginning, and for the sake of the Daming Society, anything could be done. After a few times, I was deeply impressed by Queen Zhou. Therefore, as soon as Empress Zhou learned about Zhou Kui's affairs, she immediately felt her own crisis, as well as her son's crisis. Under such pressure, after hearing about Zhou Kui's affairs, and seeing the emperor's performance of Zhou Kui's ingenuity and snatching, these things added up, and it was impossible for Queen Zhou to be kind and pleasant to Zhou Kui, and begged Zhou Kui to obey.

This is not to say that Empress Zhou is not virtuous, or that these things have nothing to do with being virtuous or not, it can only be said that the most basic interests determine what actions to take.

Since ancient times, ruling the world with filial piety has been the foundation of the rule of successive dynasties. Zhou Kui is the queen's father, and if she is harsh, she will be criticized. In particular, some competitors will say that the queen has a problem with her character, which she does not want to see. The so-called righteous annihilation of relatives is just a last resort. However, when this kind of reputation conflict with her most basic interests, there is only one way to go. Those who can stand firmly in the palace will not be stupid and sweet.

The most ruthless emperor family, in a way, it is true!

Emperor Chongzhen is also quite satisfied with the current disposition result, and the public opinion outside does not say how his emperor is. On the contrary, they all sympathized with him, who was the emperor, and it was unlucky enough to have such a relative. It's okay to say that Wu Qinghou's relatives are a little farther away, even the old man is like this, which is really emotional!

After all, this kind of thing may happen to every family, and if you empathize, you must be on the emperor's side.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about the next step, he should take this opportunity to repair and beat those royal relatives and nobles.

Think about it, even the queen mother's brother can be a marquis, and it has been passed down, if this kind of thing was thought to be okay before, then starting with himself, it is good to establish a clear rule for this. The title of Da Ming is too easy to give, and those who raise them are all moths.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen was not very worried, because these relatives and nobles only relied on the royal family, and they did not have much strength themselves.

However, for the other type of nobles, Emperor Chongzhen did not have any special way to govern them at the moment. These nobles are the descendants of those who made great contributions to the founding of the country. Their power is far from being comparable to that of their relatives. There are many intermarriages between each other, protégés and former officials, especially generals in the army, and even many nobles are in charge of military power.

If these nobles can really fight for the country and serve the country loyally like their ancestors did when they founded the country, then it is nothing. However, at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, these nobles, the original Emperor Chongzhen couldn't see them, but the current Emperor Chongzhen knew it in his heart, and most of them were rotten. At least in later generations, I have never heard of a person who could fight in the late Ming Dynasty from among these nobles. However, many of them surrendered in the end, either surrendering to Li Zicheng or surrendering to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen at this time had no good impression of these nobles at all.

However, these nobles are just some simple crimes that can't move them. Like that kind of bullying men and women, you can't use the law of the afterlife to deal with them. They are in the Ming Dynasty, they are a privileged class, do some such things, don't be too normal, just a little punishment, if you want to do a raid or something, it will definitely detonate this noble group, this consequence, at least the current Emperor Chongzhen can't bear it.

The nobles of the Ming Dynasty should be sealed by themselves, hit a batch, and replace the old with the new!

With that in mind, he began to look at the messages in the eavesdropping system.
