After dinner, Rushi went to clean up the dishes, and Ruhua brought hot water, so that Li Zicheng and Mu Sirong cleaned their hands.

After the two of them retreated, Mu Sirong suddenly approached Li Zicheng, lowered her head and said, "Governor, don't take a bath tonight...... Tonight, the maid will wait for the Metropolitan Governor to take a bath......" Before he finished speaking, his face was already crimson, and he didn't dare to look at Li Zicheng's eyes.

"You?" Li Zicheng almost couldn't believe her ears, she had never liked these things, or rather, she was ashamed of it, she didn't know why she changed her temper today, on such a cold day, he wasn't going to take a bath, it was rare for Rong to take the initiative, "Okay, it's just wronged Rong'er!" ”

Mu Sirong shook her head, "The sisters have served the Metropolitan Governor, and today the sisters are not here, and the maid is just compensating the Metropolitan Governor......"

Although Mu Sirong has the heart to serve, he was born as a young lady, and his skills are extremely jerky, and even things like adding water and rubbing his back are still done by his servants.

As long as you have a heart, it is enough, Li Zicheng did not blame, on the contrary, he encouraged her to try, he didn't mind being used as an experiment.

However, Li Zicheng is a little strange, isn't the picturesque maid given to him by Mu Fu, and he will bring it back to Lanzhou in the future, why don't he let them come over to help, but he is replaced by a maid he is not familiar with?

Li Zicheng and Mu Sirong returned to the boudoir hand in hand, the lights were on in the room, but there was no one in sight, I don't know where the two little maids went, and I don't know how to warm the kang bed first, and when I bring it back to Lanzhou in the future, I have to train and train it well.

Mu Sirong slipped to the back, plugged in the latch, and then came to Li Zicheng's side lightly.

Li Zicheng felt strange, what is this for, does he need to be a thief when he goes to the kang with his wife? A little wife is also a wife, and in this era, it is not illegal at all.

Mu Sirong pointed to the kang with her hand and whispered a few words to Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng was shocked, and when he looked sideways, the brocade quilt on the kang bed was really raised, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Rong'er, what the hell are you doing?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor has never liked ......," Mu Sirong lowered her head and smiled, "On the contrary, it is just like the picturesque will be brought back to Lanzhou in the future, if the Metropolitan Governor accepts them...... They'll be relieved, too......"

Isn't that what a strong man does? Li Zicheng is not ready in his heart......

However, for Rong'er's sake, it is also appropriate to give them a reassuring pill, these two little maids are picturesque, and they don't look annoying!

Li Zicheng looked at the kang bed, and was already thinking about the next move in his heart, these two little maids, compared with Mu Sirong, it is a different charm, although they just met yesterday, but they are much bolder than Rong'er......

Mu Sirong saw that Li Zicheng was still hesitating, thinking that he was not very willing, so he hurriedly said: "Governor, hurry up, they may be in a hurry if they are picturesque......"

"What's the hurry, let them wait!" Li Zicheng couldn't help but say, a princess hugged Mu Sirong across her chest, and slowly walked towards the kang bed.

"Metropolitan Governor, ...... tonight" Mu Sirong struggled, but she didn't dare to be too intense, she just kicked her feet wildly and almost kicked off the embroidered shoes.

"Rong'er is so lovely, how can I not love it?" Li Zicheng put his ear to her and said, "Let them wait, it's good to learn some experience on the side!" ”

Mu Sirong naturally knew what Li Zicheng meant, her cheeks were already crimson, and when she thought of what her mother said, she had to whisper: "Governor, turn off the lights......"

Li Zicheng first looked at the position of the kang bed, then hugged Mu Sirong, first went to extinguish the lamp and candle, and then turned back to the side of the kang bed and threw Mu Sirong on it.

Poetry and picturesqueness are at the other end of the kang bed, not daring to move, they are waiting for their most important moment......

Today's Mu Sirong took the initiative to give Li Zicheng a wide coat, but she was not very cooperative, she just asked for seeds, and drove Li Zicheng to the other end of the sheets.

There are legs everywhere in the brocade quilt, and I can't tell who is who, Li Zicheng crawled over in the direction of his legs and feet, and found that the two little maids were obscene clothes and pants, but they felt softer and didn't know what the material was.

He lay between the two little maids and stroked a delicate face casually, "Who are you?" ”

"The servant is like a poem!"

Li Zicheng changed his hand and twisted it on the other side of his face, "Then you are picturesque?" ”

"The maid is picturesque, picturesque and has seen the governor!"

"It's all on the kang, and there are so many etiquettes?" Li Zicheng's big hand ran down her cheek, moved to her fragrant shoulder, and then through the obscene clothes, caught her jade peak......

When he woke up, the picturesque picture was gone, but there were two bright red innocent sheets on the kang head, Li Zicheng picked it up, sniffed it, and then hid it under the pillow, and heard Mu Sirong sighing at the other end of the kang bed, he reached out to probe in the quilt, only grabbed two legs, and knew that the picturesque picture had gotten up, "Rong'er, what time is it now?" ”

"It's almost over, and Picturesque has already gotten up to prepare breakfast," Mu Sirong said lazily: "Is the Governor going to get up?" Servant serves you......"

"Forget it, I'll do it myself," Li Zicheng took care of his clothes and said, "Rong'er, you can sleep more, women sleep more, and ...... beauty."

"No, the maid still has to prepare breakfast for the Metropolitan Governor," Mu Sirong stared at her despite Li Zicheng, and put on her jacket three or two, "The maid still has to prepare breakfast for the Metropolitan Governor......"

"Hey, aren't they going to be picturesque?" Li Zicheng withdrew his gaze from Mu Sirong's body and tidied up his clothes and pants.

"Oops, some ...... They won't, the governor will wait a minute......" Mu Sirong quickly put on her clothes, didn't freshen up, and went out of the boudoir directly, and when she came back a while, she held the bowl and chopsticks in both hands, "The maid remembered the bamboo chopsticks today......"

Li Zicheng fixed his eyes and saw that it was four boiled sheep treasures, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Mu Sirong forced the porcelain bowl into Li Zicheng's hand, and handed over the bamboo chopstick, "Mother said...... No, it's as the poem says, the original sheep treasure is the most replenishing body...... "I knew that I had said the wrong thing, and my cheeks were already crimson.

How old is Rushi, she knows this? Li Zicheng smiled, didn't say anything, looked into the bowl, there was no condiment, there was only a layer of oil beads on the water surface, and there were a few shallots floating, and after drinking the soup, there was only a faint salt taste.

Just when Li Zicheng was enjoying the joy of family, Xiong Wencan, who was far away in Xiangyang Mansion, was coming to a crossroads in his future, and he was facing a choice.

In the letter written by the emperor to him, he asked him what he meant, whether he wanted to continue to exterminate the rogues, or to use the method of appeasement, so that he could reply in time.

When he read the letter, he immediately understood.

The military salary owed, the court has no money, what kind of war is there without money? The emperor's meaning is clearly to appease, he is the front-line commander, and the emperor wants to say it through his mouth!

But in this way, will it offend Lord Yang? And those who oppose the appeasement of the rogues, if they don't do well, they will become scapegoats......

What if you pretend to be deaf and dumb and continue to suppress bandits?

Xiong Wencan not only shuddered, although he was the prime minister of the five provinces, but the soldiers he could actually control were only 10,000, and most of the troops were in Zuo Liangyu's hands, and Zuo Liangyu often picked on his sons, sometimes obeying military orders, sometimes he was very stubborn, and even Lord Yang's military orders were in his ears.

Zhang Xianzhong, who is on the other side, still has at least 90,000 rogues in his hands, even if he excludes the women, he will not be less than 30,000 young and strong, and he also likes to drill into the deep mountains and old forests.

There is no military salary, there is no certainty of fighting, and Zuo Liangyu does not accept domination......

Lord Yang has a good calculation, but if he really wants to completely exterminate Zhang Xianzhong and his ilk, he doesn't know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey, which still requires Zuo Liangyu's absolute cooperation......

The emperor's handwritten letter is simply a pie falling from the sky!

Xiong Wencan no longer hesitated, he immediately took up the pen and wrote a letter, stating the reasons for appeasement one by one, and most importantly, the cost of pacifying was far less than that of suppressing the bandits.

The emperor's handwritten letter is not a holy decree, Xiong Wencan's reply is not a sparse, and he does not have to go through the review of the cabinet, he sent a fast horse to immediately send the letter to the Beijing Division, and then turned around and carried out the work of appeasement.

The good intentions of the imperial court must be conveyed to the Liukou in time, but the Liukou are either mixed with the people, or they are buried in the deep mountains and old forests, and they cannot be contacted for a while.

Xiong Wencan asked the clerks in the army to immediately write hundreds of messages of appeasement, and asked the soldiers to post and publicize them in the places where the rogues often frequented, and at the same time inform Zuo Liangyu to suspend military operations so as not to anger the rogues.

After everyone was sent out, Xiong Wencan breathed a sigh of relief, since the emperor meant to appease, he got up early and started, and finally there was no mistake, and he should still be able to get military merits!

You don't have to fight, you can get military merits, why not? Even if someone objects, what does it matter, the final decision is always in the hands of the emperor.

Xiong Wencan lay on the marching bed, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he was thinking about the appeasement in his mind, if Zhang Xianzhong and them accepted the appeasement, how much official should they give......

"Prime Minister, message from the Ministry of War!" The voice of the guard interrupted Xiong Wencan's thoughts.

What is the message of the Ministry of War? Ma Qiao, there is no military salary, but the documents are one after another, standing and talking in Beijing does not hurt your back, if you have the ability, you don't have to invite Lao Tzu from Guangdong!

Xiong Wencan scolded in his heart, but the message still had to be read, he lazily took the message, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help frowning.

The message was a letter from Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, but Yang Sichang was sent in the name of the Ministry of War, and it was nothing, but in the letter, Yang Sichang vaguely told Xiong Wencan that he should step up the encirclement and suppression of the Liukou, and there must be no wavering in the slightest, and all forms of interference should be eliminated.

The emperor and the military department, the voices made are obviously different, what should I do? If Yang Sichang's letter can arrive half a day early, it can be ...... now

Now he has given the emperor a secret excerpt...... The excerpt can be chased back on a fast horse, but he doesn't want to be recovered, since the emperor and the military department do not agree on the opinion, he naturally chooses the opinion that is most beneficial to him!

Xiong Wencan was born as a civilian official, and unlike a military general, he may not be as good as Zuo Liangyu, who has more soldiers and horses, for the war itself, but his judgment of the situation is ...... I would rather offend Yang Sichang than the emperor!

Xiong Wencan put away the message from the Ministry of War, and he had already made a decision: after half a day, he would reply to the Ministry of War!
