Tian Hong met Tian Daozhang these days like an ant on a hot pot, whether he was in the court or in the mansion, he was not sitting or standing. Sighs came one after another.

Of course, the food is not fragrant, and even the songs and dances of a few of the concubines who I bought from Yangzhou in the past, I can't listen to it at all, and I can't see the taste. This panic is almost the same as the situation when her baby daughter Tian Guifei died two years ago.

He really wanted to immediately go to Beijing, the place of right and wrong, and not go to Nanjing, the capital of China, and go back to his hometown Yangzhou to be a rich man. So when he listened to the prince's horse washing Chen Rui's persuasion to donate outside the noon gate this morning, he was quite moved.

He is different from those old nobles who have lived in Beijing for generations, he is a father and a daughter. Before her daughter became the imperial concubine, she was just a thousand presidents in Yangzhou, and she only became noble in the past ten years. Therefore, there is no intertwined network of relationships in Beijing, and they dare not put all the family business obtained through hard work and corruption and bribery in Beijing...... Most of his family property is in his hometown of Yangzhou, mainly land and shops. In Beijing, the silver that is left on hand for spending is only a hundred thousand taels in total, but it is enough to buy a decree to leave the city.

Because of the demonstration effect of Wang Zhixin and Cao Huachun, and the army of thieves has already arrived in the city, a considerable number of officials and nobles choose to believe that Zhu Cihong's "order to leave the city" is valid.

Of course, most of the officials and nobles in Beijing did not buy this life-saving order, they either have no money - not everyone is rich when they are officials in Beijing! Either the family business is too big and reluctant to abandon it. Or, like Tian Hongyu, he didn't dare to buy orders from Zhu Cihong.

And Tian Hongyu didn't dare, and they were not the same as Luo Yangxing, Chen Yan, and Wei Zaode. Although he has the official title of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he does not have much real power. There is not much more of him in the capital city, and there is no less of him. After the death of his daughter Tian Guifei, he was a character with no sense of existence.

But when his daughter was alive, she fought with Queen Zhou for favor and grudges. And Zhu Cihong happens to be the son of Queen Zhou...... Tian Hongyu was worried that Zhu Cihong would be angry with his mother and treat himself for a crime of corruption and perversion of the law.

Even if you don't cure your own sins and go out of the gate of Jingshi, it will be a lawless realm! He Tian Hongyu doesn't have many thugs in his family, and he is not a fat pig when he goes out of the city? Zhu Cihong wants people to kill the Tian family, isn't it a piece of cake?

Therefore, Tian Hongyu can only stubbornly stand in the city of Beijing, and live one day at a time!

But he's still afraid of death! He is only in his forties, and his life is much richer than that of Emperor Chongzhen, of course he has not lived enough.

But if the city of Beijing is broken and the thieves come in, will he still be alive? Even if you live, can you still have glory and wealth?

So today, when the sound of artillery came from the west of the city, he was scared to death, and he almost lost his breath. Fortunately, the news of the bombardment of Li Zicheng and the temporary retreat of the thieves brought Tian Dahuang back to life.

Just when he was glad that his old life was temporarily preserved, Zhu Chunchen, the head of the Jingying Rongchengguo Mansion, suddenly sent someone to send an invitation to invite him to the Chengguo Mansion for a drink.

This Zhu Chunchen participated in the Battle of Fuchengmen this afternoon, and it is said that he also made great contributions. So Tian Hongyu had to go and talk to him, and by the way, inquire about the battle situation...... There will be no good news, but Tian Hongyu still wants to hear it!

Therefore, Emperor Tian immediately asked his son Tian Dungen to join him, bring a few antique calligraphy and paintings, and go to the Chengguo Mansion for a banquet in a sedan chair.

The sedan chair flickered, and it had stopped steadily, and the housekeeper of Tianfu lifted the front curtain and poked his head in: "Master, Fuxue Hutong has arrived." But it's a good day, there are too many carriages and sedan chairs, and the road is blocked, so we can't move forward anymore, is the lord wronged? ”

encountered a traffic jam, Tian Hong did not have a problem. Not to mention that he doesn't have the support of the concubine's daughter now, even the old emperor's prince Zhou Kui (Zhou Hou's father), he has to walk by himself when he encounters this incident. If you want others to make way, you have to be a first-fu university scholar!

However, Tian Hongyu leaned out of the sedan chair, but he did not move forward immediately, because he saw that the lights in the Fuxue Hutong were bright, and the prince's guard of honor was parked outside the Chengguo Mansion. Moreover, there were hundreds of carriages with the prince's guard of honor, some of which had been piled up with large boxes with seals and fastened with ropes. There were also some of the carriages that were empty, and they kept coming out of the mansion with the boxes and loading them onto the empty carriages.

This posture looks a bit like raiding a house......

"Is it Emperor Tian?"

When Tian Hongyu was stunned, he suddenly heard someone calling him in his ear, and he hurriedly looked back and saw that it was the British public Zhang Shize.

The British Duke and the Chengguo Duke are neighbors, both live in the Fuxue Hutong of Zhongjiaofang, and now they are also walking to the Chengguo Mansion with a few retinues.

Tian Hongyu immediately saluted, "British Princess, are you also going to Chengguo Mansion?" ”

"yes, let's do it together."

"Okay," Tian Hongyu nodded, and then pointed to the scene of the house, "Guogong, do you know what this is doing?" ”

"I don't know," Zhang Shize shook his head, "I also just returned home...... I've been busy all day, and I'll have to continue tomorrow. ”

"What are you busy with?" Tian Hongyu asked as he walked.

"Block the door."

"Whose door is blocked?"

"The gate of Beijing City!" Zhang Shize said, "The Chitose Master faction, six of the nine gates in Beijing, and all seven gates in the outer city, must be blocked. ”

"It's all blocked?"

"Yes, only Chaoyangmen, Dongzhimen, and Zhengyangmen have not been blocked." Zhang Shize said, "But the blocked door is not strong, and it will continue tomorrow." ”

"That's a big job!" Tian Hongyu smiled, "There's a lot of oil and water, right?" ”

"What's the oil and water? The family put money in it. Zhang Shize sighed, "The Ming Dynasty is like this, what money do you mention?" The city is about to be broken, and we, the royal relatives and nobles, must not be martyred by our families! ”

Die......

Tian Hongyu only felt a chill in his neck. There was no more words at the moment, just followed the British Duke to the gate of Chengguo Mansion.

The Chengguo Mansion who guards the door knows the British Princess, and the two Mansions are warm, and they usually visit each other like their own, and they go in when they say they go in. So I didn't report it now, and directly invited the British Gonghe Tian Hongyu in. After entering the gate, he didn't go far, and the British Gonghe Tian Hongyu found that he couldn't walk. Because they were blocked in the courtyard outside the outer hall of Chengguo Mansion, a large number of noble royal relatives who received invitations from Chengguo Mansion were crowded here.

The courtyard is also brightly lit, and a bunch of royal relatives and nobles are standing there without even a seat!

"What's going on?" The British Duke asked casually.

"Chitose is here...... Ouch, it's an English duke! You please, you please......"

Now there are not many grandfathers in Beijing, Zhang Shize is naturally noble, that is, among a group of nobles, he is also a top figure, everyone saw him coming, and naturally let him. Tian Hongyu also followed him and squeezed forward together, and when he got to the front, he found that someone was moving boxes of money from Chengguo's family out!

But it's not a raid, because Zhu Chunchen and his sons are standing there happily, watching their beloved silver being moved away like this. There was a Taishi chair beside Zhu Chunchen, and Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, sat on it.

What the hell is going on?

It doesn't look like it's a copy, but Zhu Chunchen can still laugh if he raids his house? But the silver of Chengguofu is really moving out in boxes!

The silver has almost been moved, and the people have almost arrived, Zhu Cihong coughed, got up from the chair, and looked at a group of stunned nobles and royal relatives with a smile.

"Today, the palace invites you to come to Chengguo Mansion to commend Chengguo Gong in public!" Zhu Cihong opened his mouth to explain, "You should have also heard that today on the battlefield of Fuchengmen, Chengguo Gong took the lead, killed the rebellious Du Xun, and shot the thief Li Zicheng, making the first contribution!"

Not only that, but Cheng Guogong has now donated 250,000 taels of silver to make up his salary...... Having such a noble is really a blessing for me! Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, is really an example for all the nobles of my Ming Dynasty!

You should all learn from Cheng Guogong! ”
