Zhu Yousong was not stupid either. He fled all the way. He understood very well what Huai'an Mansion was.

The key is that this thing is still in Jiangbei...

The smile in Xu Changqing's eyes also made Zhu Yousong quickly understand that Xu Changqing didn't really want him to go to Huaian Prefecture.

People's desire to survive is endless.

In front of the pressure of Mount Tai, Zhu Yousong suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Mr. Marquis, although Huai'an Mansion is good, it is too far from Gu's hometown. Moreover, Gu really doesn't like food from the south these days, but has always liked Shandong cuisine..."

As he said, he carefully looked at Xu Changqing's face, "Marquis, the land of Qilu, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, has always been a place that Gu yearns for. Moreover, Gu has always liked the sea very much. Look, Gu, can Gu go to Denglai? Of course, Gu cannot consider any reward. If he can pass on a son and half of his daughter to Gu's lineage, Gu wants to convert to Buddhism..."

Xu Changqing couldn't help laughing.

Who said that King Fu's lineage is stupid?

If King Fu was stupid, could Master Wanli like him so much back then?

"Prince, since you have made a request, Changqing should do his best. However, Changqing was powerless for a while."

Zhu Yousong was clever and soon captured Xu Changqing's deep meaning and said respectfully: "Marty, this matter, I will write a letter to the emperor as soon as possible and ask to leave the capital..."

After seeing off Zhu Yousong, Xu Changqing tasted the tea and his face gradually became solemn.

In this era, although the Han people's power failed and was repeatedly suppressed, don't underestimate anyone!

This is something that is difficult to describe.

The reason why the Han people were defeated by the Qing Dynasty was not only because of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but because of the many contradictions and the combined cause and effect.

In other words, no matter how cruel the Qing Dynasty was, it did not kill the Han people!

In history, the reason why they quickly pacified the south was that he was a Han slave, whether it was a plan or an execution!

I want to bring the general trend back to the right path under such a situation.

Just as the boss said: "The road is long and arduous, I will search up and down!"

...

After staying in Wangjiazhuang Villa for two days, I planned the arrangements for garrison here in detail, including the blueprint for infrastructure construction, and it was also on the eve of getting married to Zhu Ma.

At this time, the mansion near Fucheng Bridge had been cleaned up, and there were 200 beauties with dowry on Zhu Ma's side.

Many of these are in-laws of various families in Nanjing, and are more or less related to them.

No one is stupid.

Everyone knows this kind of thing.

Any girl who is lucky can give birth to a child for Xu Changqing in the future, and this transaction will make a lot of money!

As for other servants, decorations, and dowry, there are countless.

Early in the morning of September 281, the first year of Hongguang, Xu Changqing came to the imperial city again.

I first talked to Zhu Cixuan about government affairs and the situation for a while, and then turned to meet Empress Zhou.

The enthronement ceremony of her and her new queen Zhou Cairen, including Yuan Cairen, has been decided and will be after Zhu Meishi's marriage.

Xu Changqing must pick Yuan Cairen out before this.

"You are so comfortable that you actually ran out of the city to be lazy."

In Kunning Palace, Empress Zhou Yingying smiled and brought the fragrant tea to Xu Changqing. At this time, she had basically controlled the situation in the harem.

As expected, even if Zhou Cairen takes office later, he will not be able to occupy the Kunning Palace, which symbolizes the lord of the harem.

"Haha, I'm afraid many people will be uneasy in the city, right? How about it? How about it these days? Isn't you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xu Changqing smiled and played with the teacup, looking at Queen Zhou's beautiful eyes, sincerely and with teasing.

Queen Zhou's pretty face turned slightly red, and her heart was also warm. Xu Changqing said nothing, both in life and in work, and said angrily: "It's okay. After the time of work, I will move out of the palace. By the way, how are you preparing here? I heard that they have prepared enough generous gifts for you, two hundred beautiful girls, haha, I'm not afraid of getting tired of you!"

Xu Changqing was speechless and gave her a look in anger: "If I can choose, I am too lazy to support so many people. From now on, it depends on fate. If it is right, find a good family for them."

Hearing this, Empress Zhou was slightly moved and her pretty face was a little solemn: "Changqing, it's good that you have this heart, and it's not easy for them."

Xu Changqing naturally understood her profound meaning.

These girls are the pitiful people, and they are even worse than those courtesans who are sold to brothels...

To a certain extent, Empress Zhou still retains a kindness.

After chatting for a while, Xu Changqing also shifted the topic to the main topic and directly brought up Yuan Cairen's affairs.

This is also the result of Xu Changqing's careful consideration.

Even if Xu Changqing uses other means, he has some methods to replace Yuan Cairen with the prince, but this kind of thing is not without omissions and will undoubtedly leave hidden dangers.

Why not just explain it to Queen Zhou and see how she deals with it?

"You, you, you..."

Queen Zhou was indeed shocked, and her pretty face turned pale.

Xu Changqing has undoubtedly touched her bottom line.

However, she felt a little more uncomfortable when she saw Xu Changqing telling this. After all, Yuan Cairen has always been very disagreeable with Zhu Cixuan.

After a while, she couldn't help but look at Xu Changqing and said, "I really don't know, what will be the historical books evaluate in the future..."

Xu Changqing smiled: "We will write whatever we ask them to write, so they can write it?"

“…”

Queen Zhou finally came back to her senses after a while and said resentfully: "I will arrange this matter as soon as possible. By the way, when will you leave?"

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "It's early October. The sir is about to give birth, and there are many things in Haicheng. Moreover, I just received the information that the bandits and the Qing army had already burst into great sparks around Tongguan. It is very likely that there will be a big collision in a few days. I want to take this opportunity to see if I can recover some lost land."

Hearing that Xu Changqing was still enterprising, Queen Zhou's beautiful eyes were obviously bright, but her face was filled with coquettish reluctance: "So anxious? Changqing, you want to leave, me, what should I do?"

...

After leaving the imperial city, Xu Changqing immersed himself in the smoke in the carriage, and suddenly smiled coldly.

What Jin Da said from Zhang Wuji's mother Yin Susu is really too classic.

A creature like a woman should not take it seriously unless it is absolutely necessary!

This time, Xu Changqing did not return to the military camp, but came directly to the "Haicheng Hou Mansion" in Fucheng Bridge.

When he came here, Xu Changqing couldn't help but be amazed.

There is a tributary of the Qinhuai River flowing here, and along the river bank, the carriage takes more than ten minutes to reach the main entrance.

This does not mean that the house is big.

Xu Changqing's new mansion in Haicheng is even bigger than this.

But don’t forget that this is in Nanjing where every inch of land is valuable, and it is the core area of ​​Nanjing!

Especially outside this mansion, a moat that was built thirty or forty meters wide with the help of natural river water was built, like an isolated island, standing in the center of the city.

Close the door, this place is completely an independent kingdom.

After entering the house, it was even more amazing.

Pavilions, towers, small bridges and flowing water, layer by layer, lingering in mist, exquisite like a painting!

But it is not an ordinary picture, but has been immersed and precipitated by a long period of time.

Even Xu Changqing couldn't help but sigh.

This house is not much inferior to the imperial city.

Later generations, like the "humble administrator's garden", this garden and that garden are simply not worthy of carrying shoes.

It is no exaggeration to say that if this house was preserved in future generations, no one could afford it except the country.

but……

The same goes for the other way around.

At this time, except for Xu Changqing, only the Duke of Wei and Duke of Ding dared to live in such a house.

"I've seen the master..."

"I've seen the master..."

The little maids in the house have already taken office. Sure enough, they are all like lotus flowers coming out of the water, one more handsome and lovely.

Moreover, there is no dust, and many maids have the calmness and nobleness that has been accumulated from wealthy families.

Even though Xu Changqing has been baptized by the Haicheng "Flower Courtesan Selection Competition", he has seen many big scenes in later generations, and he can't help but be amazed at this time.

The life of rich people is not something that ordinary people can imagine...

When he arrived at the main hall, he sat on the Taishi chair made of Huanghuali in Hainan. Looking at the majestic historical accumulation in the hall, Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.

This is a god, I won’t change it to a god.

"Master Qian Ge Lao asked for a meeting."

At this time, Wang Xi came to report with great respect.
