"Queen Mother, why are you standing here?" Zhu Gui asked distressedly.

Concubine Guo Hui took Zhu Gui's hand and said, "Don't worry about you." ”

Zhu Gui couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "What's so worrying about such a close distance?" By the way, why didn't you go to the Imperial Garden? ”

Zhu Gui thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was meeting those harem concubines in the imperial garden, and he couldn't help but have some questions in his heart.

Shouldn't Concubine Guo Hui be Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite concubine?

Concubine Guo Hui said with some disapproval: "This is what I requested, I want to meet you here, I usually don't have the opportunity, just this time while the emperor is happy." ”

Zhu Gui asked puzzledly, "Is there anything happy about the emperor?" ”

Concubine Guo Hui glanced left and right, and then whispered: "I heard that the emperor has found a way to heal the crown prince, so he is celebrating." ”

Found a cure for the prince? Zhu Gui couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, but he immediately reacted, this should be another method used by some 'alchemists' to cheat money.

He didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, and then entered the other party's bedroom with Concubine Guo Hui.

The mother and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, as if they had endless words.

Until Zhu Gui was summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang again.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Zhu Gui in Fengtian Temple.

"Zhu Gui, I heard that you have been moving quite a lot in Nanjing City recently? Do you have anything to say? Zhu Yuanzhang said majestically.

Zhu Gui hurriedly replied, "Erchen actually accepted the appointment of his father, and some things naturally have to be taken care of." ”

"Hmph, what you said sounds good, but don't you know that little bit of caution? Tell me, I don't want much money for how much money you got this time, you just need to hand over half of it to the treasury. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed his fangs and actually put his hand into Zhu Gui's pocket.

But Zhu Gui is helpless about this, who let this be Nanjing instead of Datong Mansion.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang is also the only person he is afraid of in this era, if it weren't for the other party's age, he really didn't want to toss anymore.

So, this time he was summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Gui obediently took out 500,000 taels of silver.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has been peeping at these wealthy businessmen in Nanjing for a long time, but he has not found a suitable reason.

Now that Jinyiwei has been abolished, he has lost his best hand, which will make Zhu Gui pick up a bargain.

However, it can also be seen from this incident that Zhu Yuanzhang has paid more and more attention to him.

Zhu Gui didn't know if this was a good thing, but as far as the current situation was concerned, at least he could be safe.

After being 'blackmailed' by Zhu Yuanzhang again, he was finally able to leave the palace.

However, before leaving, he still asked people to send a batch of cosmetics to Concubine Guo Hui.

Zhu Gui explained the situation in the attached letter.

This batch of cosmetics was actually given to the harem concubines at Zhu Yuanzhang's request.

And Zhu Gui was sent to the harem concubines through Guo Guifei, so that on the one hand, Concubine Guo Hui and the harem concubines could have a good relationship, and on the other hand, the harem concubines could change their attitudes towards him.

However, before Zhu Gui left the palace gate, he was blocked by a eunuch beside Concubine Guo Hui.

However, the other party only sent a letter, which stated that the Guo family sent someone to contact Guo Huifei and wanted to reconcile with Zhu Gui.

"Reconciliation?" Zhu Gui actually laughed when he saw this word.

It seems that the Guo family has noticed the changes in Nanjing, and the other three major families have surrendered to the Taiwang Mansion, and the Guo family is naturally difficult to support alone.

And because of the relationship between the two sides, the Guo family didn't want to make things too stiff, but the two negotiations between the Guo family and the acting king Zhu Gui had made them obviously feel that the attitude of the net was tough, and they would not compromise with the Guo family because of the relationship between the two families.

So they had to find Concubine Guo Hui and wanted to mediate through her identity as Zhu Gui's biological mother.

But is Zhu Gui really such an easy person to compromise? Apparently not.

Even if there is a handwritten letter from Concubine Guo Hui, Zhu Gui does not plan to negotiate with the Guo family on this issue.

Because this is not only a matter of interests, but also related to Zhu Gui's layout in the whole of Nanjing.

So even at the risk of Guo Huifei being unhappy, Zhu Gui would not reconcile with the Guo family.

What he wants is for the Guo family, like the other three major families, to completely surrender to the Dai Wangfu.

So Zhu Gui asked the eunuch to bring a message to Concubine Guo Hui, "You don't have to worry about this matter of the queen mother, the sons will handle it themselves." ”

After dealing with this matter, Zhu Gui left the palace, but as soon as he left the palace gate, he almost collided with a carriage.

Someone dared to drive a carriage at the gate of the palace, which Zhu Gui did not expect.

The carriage driver walked down and was about to push Zhu Gui, but was stopped by the guards on both sides of the palace gate.

"Are you doing the opposite? Don't you know who is sitting in the carriage? The coachman shouted arrogantly.

Zhu Gui almost got his nose crooked when he heard this.

"This king is the acting king, who is in the car, this king wants to see it."

The muscles on the coachman's face twitched a few times when he heard this, and then he wanted to say something, but he was knocked back by the sound of the carriage.

Then Zhu Gui saw a man who looked like a general in a military uniform walking down from the carriage.

This person is eight feet tall and has a face like a crown of jade, his hands are not strong, and his eyes are bright, and there is no trace of awe in his eyes when he looks at Zhu Gui, but it seems to have a mocking look.

"The great general Lan Yu has seen the acting king." The man just bowed his hand to Zhu Gui, which could be regarded as a sign of respect.

"Sappy?" Zhu Gui frowned when he heard this name.

Because he is too familiar with this name, this is one of the few famous generals who survived at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

In history, Jin Yiwei was removed by Zhu Yuanzhang because of framing Lan Yu.

However, it is indeed true that Lan Yugong is the master of the town, and he is proud and complacent, so it is logical for Zhu Yuanzhang to get rid of him.

However, now because Zhu Gui used a trick in advance to let Zhu Yuanzhang revoke Jinyiwei, this changed the original history and allowed Lan Yu to escape.

However, Lan Yu's temperament has not changed from history, and he has no respect for him as a king, which also makes Zhu Gui understand why Zhu Yuanzhang gave him death.

If Lan Yu survived to the time when Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, whether Zhu Di could beat Lan Yu may be two words, and whether Lan Yu would obey Zhu Yunwen's dispatch and become a generation of powerful ministers?

And before Zhu Yuanzhang died, getting rid of all the existences that could threaten him for Zhu Yunwen was the only thing he could do.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that Zhu Di would launch the Battle of Jingjing on the grounds of "Qingjun's side".
