Beijing, since Yongle moved the capital, more than 200 years, has been the capital of the Ming Empire, majestic, Zheng He went to the West in the past, all countries came to the court, how amazing.

Today, the city wall is still tall and majestic, but the military and civilians have long lost the high-spirited momentum of the past. The battlements of the enemy tower bear mottled traces, which have obviously been neglected, and the defenders inside and outside the city gate are mostly old and weak, all with yellow faces and thin muscles.

Gu Zhenhua and his entourage finally arrived in the capital, stood on their horses, and saw the dilapidated and depressed scene, and their brows couldn't help frowning.

"Fourth, it turns out that the forbidden army in the capital is still a bit fancy, but two years ago, the plague broke out, and the young and strong are almost dead, so they have fallen into such a virtue!" Sun Cheng said with a sigh.

In order to keep it secret, Gu Zhenhua, 6 Yong, Sun Cheng, and Xue Biao kowtowed on the road and became siblings of the opposite sex, Sun Cheng was the oldest, 6 Yong was second, and Gu Zhenhua was the oldest. As a result, the relationship between several people has become closer and more trusting.

"Hurry up, big guys, the city gate is going to be closed!" 6 Yong shouted loudly.

"6 Yong, this is noon, why do you have to close the city gate?" He Zhonghou poked his head out of the carriage and asked suspiciously.

"Sixth uncle, do you still need to ask, the city is scared."

Gu Zhenhua also said: "Second brother, let's not delay time, let's enter the city quickly." ”

When they arrived at the city gate, 6 Yong showed Cheng Guogong's waist card and entered the city smoothly, and as soon as they entered, the city gate was closed.

The big guy's mood was also a little uneasy, Gu Zhenhua grabbed 6 Yong, lowered his voice and said: "Second brother, when you go to restore your life, if Zhu Chunchen asks about the situation outside, you will push it on me." ”

"Well, fourth, you have to be careful, Zhu Chunchen is not easy to bluff."

"Don't worry." Gu Zhenhua swore that he was familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, this was a completely asymmetrical war, don't look at Zhu Chunchen as a prince, you have to drink foot washing water.

Through the streets and alleys, there are few pedestrians along the way, but there are a large number of beggars on the side of the road, dying**. Soon we arrived at the front of a magnificent building, and the mansion was staggeringly large, taking up more than half a block. After walking in, it was even more carved beams and paintings, which were brilliant and brilliant, and Gu Zhenhua was amazed.

More than 200 years of wealthy nobles are not ordinary, but it is a pity that such a mansion will fall into the hands of a group of savages in the near future, which is really a great shame.

Just when Gu Zhenhua was thinking, He Zhonghou and 6 Yong went to see Zhu Chunchen one after the other. As soon as I went around to the main hall, a big meat ball happened to come to me, and it was the housekeeper Zhu Han. This guy is less than 1.6 meters tall, but at least 1.2 meters wide, as if a ball has become a ball, and he keeps gasping when he walks.

"Lao He, you're finally back, you've scared me to death for the past few days."

He Zhonghou also smiled and said: "Butler, I am nine deaths in my life, but fortunately, I am not dishonored, I finally came back, is Grandpa Guo free?" ”

"Yes." Zhu Han said with a sad face: "Lao He, the grandfather of the country has been in a very bad mood in the past two days, and the emperor has sent people every day to let us give out the silver, so that Wu Sangui from Shanhaiguan can come to the king of Qin, but how can there be any silver here." ”

"Yes, the emperor doesn't know how to feel sorry for people."

After saying a few words, He Zhonghou and 6 Yong went directly to meet Zhu Chunchen, and as soon as he took a few steps, 6 Yong sneered: "If you want money, you don't want to die, and I don't know if it's really stupid or fake." ”

"Don't talk too much." He Zhonghou whispered, 6 Yong could only shut his mouth, and the two of them arrived in the main hall. On the Taishi chair in the middle sat a middle-aged man with three locks of beard, very elegant. It's just that this guy has thin lips and a hooked nose, which makes him shrewd and mean.

This is Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, in fact, he is in his early sixties, but he looks young when he is properly maintained, but at this time he also has a sad face, and his two eyes are bloodshot.

"Say hello to the master, I will wait for the safe return and return to the master." He Zhonghou and 6 Yong hurriedly saluted Zhu Chunchen.

Zhu Chunchen waved his hand lazily: "It's all free, how are things going in Shanxi?" ”

"If you go back to the master, the seven fields of land, a total of 3.42 million mu, have been transferred to the Fan family, and they will use one million mu in the southeast to compensate."

When Zhu Chunchen heard this, he also shook his head with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, you are a prince of the country, and you have to be exploited by these businessmen, it is really sad and infuriating!" ”

"Forget it, turn it out, and it'll be safe. What is the situation in Shanxi, and what news did you hear on the road? Where did the thieves go? ”

"Back to the master, the thief has broken the Ningwu Pass, Zhou Yuji's family was martyred, I heard that the thief is reorganizing the army, the next step is ...... The next step is to attack the capital. ”

Zhu Chunchen stood up suddenly, walked back and forth on the ground twice, his steps floating, and he seemed very impatient.

"Have you seen the army of thieves, and what are they saying?"

6 When Yong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master, we have never met, but on the way we met a young man named Gu Zhenhua, whose house was set on fire by thieves. I think he probably knew about some of the thieves and brought them back. ”

"Okay, bring someone in for me, I'm going to ask."

After a while, a burst of footsteps sounded, and the family brought Gu Zhenhua over, as soon as he entered the door, Gu Zhenhua hurriedly threw himself on the ground, first, he looked panicked, and second, he was really not used to kowtowing to others, so he lay on the ground to make up the number.

"Grandpa Guo, the villain Gu Zhenhua has asked you for peace!"

"Well, put your head up."

Zhu Chunchen looked at Gu Zhenhua, and saw that this young man was in his early twenties, with handsome facial features, and an arrogance between his eyebrows, unlike ordinary people, but his head was very short and a little weird.

"Young man, have you ever been a monk?"

"No, when the thieves set the fire, the little man's head was burned, and then it rolled into a puddle, and although the fire was extinguished, the head was burned."

"Hmm." Zhu Chunchen nodded: "Young man, tell me, how are the thieves doing, are they treating local officials and rich businessmen, have they robbed?" ”

As soon as Gu Zhenhua heard this, a thought flashed in his heart, according to common sense, this prince should ask about the war, whether Li Zicheng can fight, but he actually asked this, something is abnormal, it seems that this prince has the intention of surrendering!

If you want to surrender, stop dreaming! Even if Li Zicheng will let you go, I won't let you go.

"Grandpa Qiguo, thieves are prone to robbery, especially officials and wealthy families, and they never let go. After the villain heard that the big landlords in our county had been arrested, Li Zicheng had his wife and daughter tied to bamboo poles. ”

"What are the thieves for?"

"Of course, I forced him to ask for money, and he concealed one or two, and cut a knife on his family, but the rich man's wife and daughter were chopped up, and in front of him, he let the thief feed the dogs."

Vomit! When the family members on the side heard this, they couldn't help but gag, although Zhu Chunchen was still very calm on the surface, his brows were already furrowed.

"Young man, are you telling the truth?"

"Naturally, it is a fact, Li Zicheng said everywhere that Juntian is free of grain, but when you are a soldier, you always have to eat, you always have to spend, and all of this has to be paid by the officials and wealthy families. I also heard that Li Zicheng had drawn up a list, and after entering Beijing, he asked for money according to the map, and asked the silver, the capital is the capital of goodness, why should he squeeze out 100 million taels of silver! ”

"What?" Zhu Chunchen couldn't sit still all of a sudden, how much silver did the Ming Dynasty have, 100 million taels! Even if you turn the capital upside down, you may not be able to get it out!

"Young man, don't be a fool?"

"Grandpa Qiyuguo, the villain doesn't dare to lie, this is what the villain said from a landing showman, who defected to King Chuang not long ago."

"Landing talents? How much knowledge can there be, and are the thieves so confused as to use such people to govern the country? ”

"King Chuang said, all those who have been officials are insatiable, and they deprive the people of their fat and ointment, so they should all be killed. But you can't do without literati, so you can only find some people who are not out of office, not limited to people, or show talents, as long as you are literate and literate. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Chunchen was immediately speechless, he knew that Li Zicheng's two major strategists, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, were not well-educated people, according to Li Zicheng's employment habits, maybe it was really the case. A mountain boy can't be made up, and he has no doubts about Gu Zhenhua's words.

If Li Zicheng is so resentful of powerful officials, once he enters the capital, he is afraid that he will be burned. Thinking of this, Zhu Chunchen couldn't help but shudder.

The official is still like this, he is a rich and noble prince, what will happen to him, I'm afraid it is not difficult to imagine. Although it was March weather, for a moment, Zhu Chunchen seemed to have returned to the 39th day.

He glared at Gu Zhenhua viciously: "Boy, do you know that if you know a thief, you should die!" But if you are a first-time offender, you should honestly carry it in the house, don't talk too much, otherwise you will cut off your head. ”

"The villain doesn't dare." Gu Zhenhua pretended to be frightened and said.

Zhu Chunchen glanced at 6 Yong, and then said, "Take him to the backyard and take care of him." ”

6 Yong nodded, and hurriedly took Gu Zhenhua out of the main hall together. Walking to the back, 6 Yong let out a sigh of relief. said with a smile: "Fourth, your words frightened Grandpa Guo, I saw that his sleeves were shaking, and his face was even more pale." ”

Gu Zhenhua was also slightly proud: "Second brother, I guess this prince will continue to transfer property in the next step." I guess the number will not be small, just a few of us will definitely not work, it is better to find more people, it is a big deal to share more benefits. ”

"Don't worry, my brother will contact the other family guards now, at this time, everyone wants to protect themselves, and there must be someone willing to do it with us."

Gu Zhenhua was arranged in the courtyard where the guards lived, and after waiting for more than two hours, He Zhonghou staggered from the front to the back.

"Sixth uncle, what's wrong with you?" Gu Zhenhua hurriedly supported him.

"It's all tired, Zhenhua, let's talk inside."

The two of them arrived in the house, and after sitting down, He Zhonghou said with a smile: "Zhenhua, it's really amazing, after you left, Grandpa Guo was so frightened that he gathered all the staff and the account room to discuss ways together." ”

"Hahaha, sixth uncle, Lao Tzu said that if you hide more, you will die. Cheng Guogong's family business for more than 200 years, can he not be afraid? ”

He Zhonghou said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo asked me to settle the accounts with several other account offices, and sort out the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house, and see that this means to transfer out." ”

He Zhonghou looked at the door, and then stretched out two fingers: "I'm afraid there is this number!" ”

Two million taels! Gu Zhenhua also gritted his teeth secretly, when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, Chongzhen asked Wu Sangui to raise the army of the king, but he needed one million taels of silver, but Chongzhen's internal money had no money at all. asked these nobles for money, and as a result, they cried poor one by one, and now it seems that just one Chengguo Gong is enough to get it.

These moths of the country, it is simply intolerable not to rob them!
