"Buy a road?" Zuo Erniang couldn't help but raise her brows when she heard Zhu Gui's words. She could not see through the man in front of her more and more. He clearly looked like a young man on the outside, but he had an incomprehensible heart.
heart.
"My lord, didn't you make it clear that you are my concubine? The Jin family not only has old grudges with the prince, but they also have a deep hatred for the current royal family. If they know your identity, they will never provide any help.
" Zuo Erniang explained.
"What you said is too absolute. Since the Jin family dares to stay in Nanjing, and now it is the Ming Dynasty, then they will not be without needs, otherwise they will not have money to help."
Zhu Gui said.
After he finished speaking, when he saw that Zuo Erniang wanted to continue, he stopped her and said, "Okay, you can just be responsible for liaison on this matter. As for the rest, just leave it to me."
A trace of sadness flashed in Zuo Erniang's eyes, but she still nodded in agreement.
In the following time, the two chatted for a while. Zhu Gui mainly learned about the development of the Money Gang during this period and the problems it faced.
Before leaving, he gave Zuo Erniang a silver check worth one million taels.
Although Zhu Gui could not help Zuo Erniang emotionally, he was still willing to help him solve other problems.
After coming out of the Money Gang, Zhu Gui took a deep breath.
It was really dangerous in the Money Gang just now, he almost lost control.
In the original world, even if he knew that hugging one another was immoral, he would not have any burden.
On the contrary, after entering this more open world, Zhu Gui learned better.
This is not to say that Zhu Gui is a gentleman, but that he is very satisfied after having Xu Miaoqing.
What's more, his ambition is not in the love between his children, so he is not willing to invest too much energy in this aspect.
However, when she thought of Xu Miaoqing, the corners of Zhu Gui's mouth turned up involuntarily.
He walked around several streets and finally bought some sweets that Xu Miaoqing liked before returning to the palace.
What Xu Miaoqing didn't expect was that there were several sedan chairs parked in front of the palace.
Looking at the decoration of these sedan chairs, Zhu Gui judged that they were from the Ministry of War.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Gui entered the palace, he heard a familiar voice.
"When will the prince come back?" This was a deep baritone voice.
"I don't know about that. You can send more people to find the prince." This was Xu Miaoqing's voice.
"My king is back. I wonder which master is here?" Zhu Gui asked knowingly as he walked.
A square-faced man wearing a red official uniform and a black gauze on his head walked quickly out of the living room.
"The Minister of War Yu Chengcheng paid a visit to the prince and came to issue the edict on the prince's order." Yu Chengli said and took out a document from his arms.
However, Zhu Gui stopped his movement first.
"You mean it's the prince's order, not the emperor's?" Zhu Gui asked.
"Yes, the emperor has handed over all government affairs to His Highness the Crown Prince. Now the Crown Prince's documents, like the imperial edicts, are the decrees of the imperial court." Yu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then explained.
Zhu Gui nodded, but since it was a document from the prince, there was no need to bow down and receive the order like an imperial edict.
The content of this document is also very simple. It requires all feudal kings, including Dai Wang, to reduce the number of soldiers in the guard army to one-third of the original number from now on.
After Yu Chengli finished speaking, he handed the document to Zhu Gui and then left with the others.
"Your Majesty." Xu Miaoqing walked over with a worried look on her face.
"It's cold outside, let's go in." With a smile on his face, Zhu Gui took Xu Miaoqing's hand and entered the house.
"Your Majesty, this prince's document..."
After the two sat down, they inevitably talked about the topic just now.
Zhu Gui sighed and said: "What is supposed to come will come sooner or later, but I did not expect that the prince would take action as soon as he took office."
"This document has no impact on us, right? Hasn't the prince's escort army not been formed yet?" Xu Miaoqing asked.
"Indeed, this has a very limited impact on me. The opinions of other vassal kings may be greater. However, it also shows the prince's attitude, which is to cut down the vassal."
Zhu Gui said seriously.
"If we cut down the vassal, we will cut down the vassal. We won't have to fight in the future. Without the shackles of the vassal position, we can 'wander around the world'." Xu Miaoqing was very tolerant of this.
Zhu Gui couldn't help but scratch her neck, and Xu Miaoqing actually looked like she was enjoying it and moved her face towards her.
Zhu Gui rubbed her hair and said: "This matter is not that simple. Let's find an opportunity to leave Nanjing."
"But if we leave without the Emperor's order, will we offend the Emperor?" Xu Miaoqing asked.
In the past, Zhu Gui would not have made such a risky move.
But judging from today's situation, I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang will not be alive for long.
So even if you risk making the other party unhappy, it's still better than being imprisoned in Nanjing.
"You don't have to worry about this. I will take care of it. By the way, where is the Crown Prince?"
It is rare for Zhu Gui to see Zhu Jixi not with Xu Miaoqing.
"He was tired and went to rest as soon as he came back from the funeral. Well, why did I smell something delicious?"
As Xu Miaoqing spoke, her nose twitched slightly, and then she reached out and took out a bag of things from Zhu Gui's arms. It was the snacks Zhu Gui bought for her.
However, this left Zhu Gui with lingering fears. Fortunately, nothing happened between him and Zuo Erniang. Otherwise, with Xu Miaoqing's 'knowledge and color', he might really have discovered something.
Xu Miaoqing took the snacks and ate them happily, while Zhu Gui watched from the side.
His colleagues are also waiting for news from the Money Gang.
The Jin family concerned him very much, and even in Hu Shidao's intelligence network, this force was never mentioned.
And according to Zuo Erniang, even the mysterious organization like the Money Gang, which was able to dominate Nanjing in the past, is just the tip of the iceberg of the Jin family, which shows how powerful the other party is.
He was also thinking that if he really met the other party, what could he offer to make the other party agree to cooperate?
Does he have a chance to eradicate this cancer for Daming?
However, if there is an opportunity to penetrate or even turn against customers, Zhu Gui will never let it go.
This went on until the afternoon, when someone finally came to the door again.
It's just that she is not Zuo Erniang's person, but Xu Yingxu.
"Your Majesty, the general has received the transfer order from the Ministry of War."
Xu Yingxu's words made Zhu Gui frown.
Ministry of War? It seems that this is the work of the prince again. He wants to evade Zhu Gui's power a little bit.
