It was almost evening. Zhang Mingwei was busy for a long time and finally made preliminary resettlement of the refugees. Further measures should be taken tomorrow. The faster the action, the easier it will be to solve the refugee problem.

Taking stock of these things, he returned to Zhang's mansion under the escort of Li Ruolian and Zhou Yuji.

At this time, Princess Kunxing had returned to Zhang's mansion. Hearing the sound, he immediately led everyone in the mansion to greet him and met in the front yard.

"Huh?" Zhang Mingwei was a little surprised when he saw it. He saw that behind Zhu Mei, there was a team of female soldiers in military uniforms, one of whom was heroic and heroic.

However, he quickly came to his senses, looked at the tall woman in front of him, and turned to Zhou Yuji and asked, "Is this sister-in-law's wife?"

Zhou Yuji nodded and said, "It is Liu, a member of the lowly family, who is ordered to come to protect the Lord and the Princess."

The deputy general and his wife would protect a foreign minister together, and even the chief minister would not be treated like this. It was too horrible. Just like the princess in the Zhang Mansion, it would arouse surprise to the world. Therefore, Liu led her female soldiers into the back door and stationed in the inner courtyard of the Zhang Mansion, as quiet as possible.

As for going out, there were the Jinyiwei commanders Li Ruolian and deputy general Zhou Yuji to protect him. Of course, it was mainly Zhou Yuji to protect him. This was safe enough. This was the arrangement made by Emperor Chongzhen himself after learning about Zhang Mingwei's situation.

At this time, after hearing Zhou Yuji's answer, Zhang Mingwei said politely: "That's really a trouble for you couple!"

In general, it would be troublesome and reluctant.

But at this time, Liu had already seen Princess Kunxing, and Zhou Yuji actually found that the Crown Prince was among Zhang Mingwei's entourage. This discovery refreshed their cognition. Therefore, by this time, they had no desire or reluctance, after all, even the Crown Princess was there.

What's more, Zhang Mingwei's two notices have been spread throughout the capital, and they also admire Zhang Mingwei's character.

"You are polite!" After hearing this, Zhou Yuji and his wife quickly clasped their fists and returned the salute.

Zhang Mingwei's kindness made Zhou Liu very fond of him, and he became even more polite to speak.

At this time, Zhang Mingwei was still thinking about the matter, so he said to Zhu Ma: "The prince and I will talk about it first and help me get some food. Today I have been busy for a day but have not eaten, so I starved to death!"

Zhu Moe was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly urged someone to prepare food.

Zhang Mingwei led the people to the front yard. When he was about to enter the door, he turned around and said to the crowd behind him, "You wait first, I have some things to say to the prince alone."

Zhu Cixuan, who was originally excited to leave the palace, was already a little silent after passing through the refugee camp outside the city. Hearing him say this, he knew that the gentleman might have to say something about future generations, so he quickly explained to others: "No one is allowed to get close!"

When the others saw this, of course they wouldn't go in, but they were a little curious.

The door of the lobby was closed, and under the setting sun, it was no longer so bright inside.

Seeing this, Zhang Mingwei looked at Zhu Cilang and said seriously: "The prince is going to rush back to the palace, so I will tell a long story."

"Sir, please give me advice!" Zhu Cixuan answered seriously.

"If you want to revive the Ming Dynasty, the people's living and working in peace are the most basic conditions." Zhang Mingwei said to him seriously, "But you should see that there are so many refugees at the foot of the emperor, struggling on the front line of life and death. But even so, there are still corrupt officials who want to make money on them. This forces the people to survive, either starve to death and freeze to death, or rebel from the thief as a thief..."

Zhu Cilang listened carefully, with a very serious expression.

If it were before, although he heard that there was no peace outside, he really didn't have much idea of ​​what happened. But this time he followed Zhang Mingwei and had really seen it.

"Do you know why many people in later generations have a good impression of the Ming Dynasty?"

"The Ming Dynasty lasted for 276 years. It did not marry, did not pay compensation, did not cede land, and paid tribute. The emperor guarded the country's borders, and the king died." Zhang Mingwei gave the answer directly without waiting for Zhu Cilang to answer, and then continued to say to Zhu Cilang seriously, "The situation is now severe, I believe you have a good idea. Your father and I will always stick to the north. If you can't do anything, at least you will be in the south."

When Zhu Cixuan heard this, his eyes turned a little red. His husband and his father really fought for the Ming Dynasty! But as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the future emperor would have to escape to the south...

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth to speak.

Zhang Mingwei guessed what he wanted to say, and then said first: "What you have to do in the south is also very important. Moreover, this is also the reason why I want to talk to you alone."

When Zhu Cilang heard this, he immediately stopped talking and listened carefully.

"Did you see that corpse today? Once their interests may be damaged, such murder can be done." Zhang Mingwei said seriously, "You go to the south and you have to collect debts. For Jiangnan, they are also reluctant to see you. Therefore, you must be vigilant and obey the advice of Li Ruolian and Sun Yingyuan. Others cannot believe it, including the nobles in Jiangnan, etc., can't you understand it if you have any accidents? Jiangnan water towns are normal."

Hearing this, Zhu Cilang finally realized that his southern tour would definitely not be so easy. But fear does not exist. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but instead makes him excited.

Zhang Mingwei continued to explain to him: "After you return to the palace, you go to see Your Majesty. I have officially started a war with those corrupt officials, and maybe they will have any trouble. However, I already have Zhou Yuji and his wife to protect me, so there will be nothing wrong. I am worried about the palace. What happened to Wang Chengen secretly investigated before must be investigated as soon as possible. And the palace should be reviewed repeatedly by investigating Wang Dehua's affairs to ensure the safety of the palace!"

Zhu Cilang knew that Zhang Mingwei had previously speculated that his fifth brother might have been murdered. Therefore, when Zhang Mingwei's reminder at this time, he was even more alert and nodded seriously to agree.

Zhang Mingwei then looked up at the sky and knew it was getting late, so he went over to open the door, and then explained to Li Ruolian seriously: "If you protect the prince, you must pay attention to the prince's safety and never underestimate the cruelty of those people in the south. Although you will not openly rebellion, once the prince harms their interests, they have to guard against it. For example, falling into the water, for example, a fire..."

Li Ruolian didn't expect that Zhang Mingwei would say such a serious statement as soon as he spoke. He immediately became serious and listened carefully. After Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, he immediately promised: "Don't worry, as the prince's guard, even if I die, I will not let the prince have any trouble!"

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei nodded and said, "I have Marshal Zhou here, so there will definitely be no problem. Just guard the prince and return to the palace!"

After hearing this, Li Ruolian turned to look at the prince, then looked at Zhou Yuji again, and then said to Zhou Yuji seriously: "Sir, I'll give it to you!"

Hearing this, Zhu Cilang also said, "You must protect Mr. Jingyi, and you must not have any trouble!"
