It was almost mid-hour, and there was a vast drizzle in the night sky, and the air began to cool down, but the wine banquet in the front yard of Haicheng Houfu was still not over, and there was a lively hustle and bustle everywhere.

What is the difference between a warrior and a literati?

The literati had already retreated at this time, but a group of rough men must have a good drink.

For this, Xu Changqing not only didn't mind, but even took the initiative to integrate into them and encourage them to get drunk and rest.

Because, if you say goodbye today, you will see him again in the future, and it is very likely that it will be a vicissitudes of life......

However, Xu Changqing finally finished his work, and came to the cave room with a smell of wine, and finally could enjoy his cave room candle night.

Zhu Yujiao has been almost nine months at this time, and she must not be able to sit still in bed, she has already removed her hijab, and is laughing and chatting with a few little girls who have a room.

When there was a little girl outside, Xu Changqing came over, and the group came back to their senses and hurriedly returned to their normal rhythm.

"Squeak."

Soon, the door opened, and Xu Changqing walked in unhurriedly, although there was a lot of alcohol on his body, but this bit of wine didn't seem to have reached Xu Changqing's line.

"I've seen the old man......"

A few little girls hurriedly knelt on the ground respectfully.

Xu Changqing waved his hand at them, and looked at the bedside with a smile, wearing a red hijab and being as warm as water.

The candle flame fluttered, and the red was reflected everywhere, and the indescribable festivity also made Xu Changqing's heart gradually relax, ignoring a few little girls, sitting next to Zhu Yujiao with a smile, holding her jade hand and saying, "Now, it's finally my daughter-in-law, right?" ”

Although he and Xu Changqing are already old husbands and wives, under the red hijab, Zhu Yujiao's pretty face still can't help but turn red, and she said in a coquettish voice: "Don't you want to cherish it when you get it?" Man, sure enough, there is no good thing. ”

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he didn't say much, just hugged her tightly into his arms.

Feeling the most familiar aura on Xu Changqing's body, Zhu Yujiao quickly relaxed, and said in a low voice: "Xu Lang, how is it, are you all busy?" ”

Xu Changqing stretched out his hand to a few little girls and asked them to get the golden scale rod, and said with a smile: "It's almost." Tired today, aren't you? ”

"It's okay......"

Zhu Yujiao laughed, but soon sighed a little, "But, I'm about to leave Nanjing......

Here, the little girl had already brought the golden scale rod, Xu Changqing gently picked up Zhu Yujiao's red hijab, and Zhu Yujiao's pretty face suddenly turned redder and more beautiful.

Xu Changqing was also a little distracted for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Zhu Yujiao's appearance may not be as top-notch as Gu Hengbo and Tang Yu, but the kind of temperament around her, especially the nobility of being born in a heavenly family, is almost unmatched.

Looking at Xu Changqing's appearance, even Zhu Yujiao couldn't help but be a little shy, and quietly lowered her eyes.

Xu Changqing suddenly hugged Zhu Yujiao into his arms again, sniffed the fragrance between her hair and murmured: "Jiao'er, don't worry, no matter where you go, where I am, there will be our home!" ”

Zhu Yujiao was about to be melted in an instant, and hugged Xu Changqing tightly: "Xu Lang, I believe in you." ”

A few little girls suddenly blushed and didn't dare to look, but they didn't dare to leave, like frightened deer.

Time seems to stop at this moment, no longer moving forward.

After a while, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "My princess lady, it's not too early, we should rest in peace." ”

Zhu Yujiao's pretty face couldn't help but turn redder, and she was busy whispering a few words in Xu Changqing's ear.

A few little girls quickly understood the deep meaning, and they couldn't find the north at all, but they were all scared but happy, and they were all secretly looking at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing smiled: "I'll talk about this in a few days." Tonight, it's a candle night in our cave room. ”

Saying that, Xu Changqing sent them away directly, and said with a smile: "Lady, we haven't drunk a glass of wine yet, tonight, how about letting the master and I serve you?" Now, it's out of danger. ”

“……”

Zhu Yujiao was speechless for a while, and her pretty face was about to drip water.

With her understanding of Xu Changqing, she already understood what Xu Changqing meant, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only say coquettishly: "You can't mess around, otherwise, this princess will not be done with you......"

……

With the marriage of Xu Changqing and Zhu Yujiao officially settled, the prosperous city of Nanjing also began to 'turn from prosperity to decline', and began to enter a normal rhythm more effectively.

Xu Changqing's layout of Nanjing City at this time was basically the same.

It's not that you can't meddle in it anymore, but it's not necessary.

Just like the classic saying: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh." ”

If Xu Changqing is all-encompassing and everyone is hidden under the mask, then how can this matter be done?

It's an extremely delicate balance.

It is necessary to maintain a certain amount of large framework, but also to give more buffer space to everyone, including a certain 'comfort zone'.

A few days later, with the arrival of the vanguard of the model military fleet, the day of Xu Changqing's departure was officially set, and it was set on the eighth day of October.

Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhou, who had been officially canonized as the Queen Mother, looked at Xu Changqing with a complicated expression, "Really don't stay for a few days?" Say goodbye this time, see you next time, I don't know when it will be......"

Looking at Queen Zhou's true feelings, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile, held her hand and said, "Don't be so pessimistic, maybe after the New Year, I can come over to report on my work." Strive to send some gifts to the new emperor before the year. ”

Empress Zhou instantly understood Xu Changqing's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Doesn't it still have a contract with the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" Really, really do you want to do it? ”

At this time, everything is not completely stable, and she seems to be unwilling to cause more trouble.

After all, this kind of thing, she can't control it even if she wants to.

Xu Changqing said solemnly: "It's not good to say now, everything depends on the timing." However, there should be no large-scale war, and I will do my best to exercise restraint and maintain the current situation. On your side, pay more attention. Remember, don't think you're in control of everything, there are more people smarter than you. ”

Queen Zhou was more comfortable when she was scolded, and nodded vigorously: "I know." ”

said, but looked at Xu Changqing with some resentment: "I have arranged it for you on Yuan Cairen's side, and I will send it to you tonight, but, Zhang Baozhu's side, you, do you really want to take her away?" ”

Xu Changqing thought for a moment, looked into her eyes and said, "If you want to leave, I can also take you away!" ”

“……”

Queen Zhou suddenly threw herself into Xu Changqing's arms uncontrollably: "Remember your words, if you dare not want me one day, I will die to show you......"

……

Leaving the imperial city, Xu Changqing took one last look at the tall blue tile red wall, and then turned his head and left.

This farewell, whether it is Tianya or a passerby, Xu Changqing can't say well.

However, what Xu Changqing can be sure of is that only when he is getting stronger and stronger can he maintain a greater initiative.

In the next few days, Xu Changqing met many people again, and all affairs were basically handled by Zhou Zheng.

Fu Wang Zhu Yousong's 'please out' recital has also been completed, but it will not be sent to the Son of Heaven until Xu Changqing leaves Nanjing.

The time will soon come to the eighth day of October.

Xu Changqing originally wanted to meet Zhu Yanlang and Chang Wen, and say goodbye, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't rush it.

According to the strength of Zhu Yanlang and Chang Wen, if Xu Changqing rashly promoted them, it would harm them, it would be better for them to move forward in a down-to-earth manner, even if they can't get rich and noble in their lives, as long as they can shine in their suitable positions, it is enough.

It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

The only thing that made Xu Changqing a little entangled was Li Xiangjun's side.

After the party in the feudal mansion that day, I heard that she was having a bad time now. But this matter should not be rushed.

Xu Changqing thought about it for a long time, but decided to think about it slowly.

Finally, the ninth day of October arrived as promised.

On the temporary wharf outside the Jiangdong camp, hundreds of large ships are like a continuous mobile castle, lying across the river.

Although the new emperor Zhu Cihong and Empress Zhou did not come to see them off, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Xu Hongji and others all arrived.

"Master Hou, have a good trip!"

Shi Kefa hugged Xu Changqing heavily, quite a bit mixed.

Ma Shiying and everyone also clenched their fists.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Everyone, take care." ”

"Master Hou, take care!"

As the huge fleet officially began to set sail, the clouds gradually dispersed, and everyone on the dock felt a lot lighter.

Shi Kefa looked at Ma Shiying with a smile: "Colleagues, in the future, everyone should work together to deal with the important affairs of the imperial court, and Zhongxing I will be Ming!" ”

Everyone said yes, but their eyes were extraordinarily wonderful.

……

The fleet is certainly much more comfortable than by land.

Although Zhu Yujiao was about to give birth at this time, she had adapted to the rhythm of the ship as early as when she was in Haicheng, and she had been carefully served, so it was not a big problem.

Yuan Cairen and Zhang Baozhu have no problem here, they are all happy to 'jump out of the birdcage'.

It also allows Xu Changqing to have more time and energy, and to gather on business.

At this time, the situation outside Tongguan had reached a critical point.

It doesn't seem to erupt for the time being, but once the weather cools down, or if there are any unexpected factors, it will definitely erupt!

As Zhao Lao Er famously said: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?" ”

Dolgon knew better than anyone that if he couldn't take advantage of the year of peaceful cultivation with Xu Changqing to solve the trouble on Li Zicheng's side as soon as possible, the Great Qing Kingdom would fall into the quagmire of being attacked on the back of the enemy.

But Li Zicheng is not a vegetarian either.

After successive blows, their Dashun Kingdom is now extremely solid, step by step, even if their lives are poor, they can maintain well in all aspects.

This means that there is inevitably another tug-of-war.

Haicheng, in the inner study.

Xu Changqing flipped through the latest information and lit a bag of cigarettes, and he was also a little emotional for a while.

Although the Qing army occupied the Jingshi at this time, and the more than 300 miles around the Jingshi had become the sphere of influence of the iron crops, in the outer areas, the minions of the Han army banner had begun to divide the land.

This may seem like nothing for a short period of time, but in a year and a half at most, this effect will snowball.

What is the most favorite thing of Chinese people and engraved into their genes?

O land!

Contrarily.

Emperor Li Zicheng of Yongchang also engaged in some land distribution activities in Guanzhong, but they were all on a very small scale.

The main reason is that there are too few places in Guanzhong, and there have been wars for many years, which are a bit out of shape.

The most important thing is that Li is self-conscious, a bit too 'benevolent'.

This Emperor Li, in his bones, is too sympathetic to the toiling masses to be ruthless and take care of the interests of the old brothers under his command first.

Just like pregnancy.

It takes a long time to see it.

In a short period of time, Dashun still has the strength to fight.

But if there is another year and a half of fermentation, if they can't make effective and powerful changes, it is inevitable to hit the streets.

Of course, if they are lucky enough to take the initiative at the military level, that's a different story.

In short, no matter how they fight, Xu Changqing and the entire Ming Dynasty will usher in a precious respite!

Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Xi's knock suddenly came from outside the door, and he said respectfully: "Dashuai, there is news about Jining, and the identity of the assassin has been found out!" ”

"Huh? Bring it in! ”

"Yes!"
