On the eighth day of the 12th month, commonly known as Laba, the day when you want to drink Laba porridge, Haicheng ushered in a heavy snowfall.

This made the already cold weather suddenly colder again.

However, Haicheng has long purchased a large amount of coal from Laiwu, Xintai and other places, and has prepared a lot of firewood. The "honeycomb coal" jointly invested by Li Youwei, Chuxue, and Tang Yu and several women has also been officially launched. There is no need to worry too much about heating issues.

But the difficulty is that many female relatives under Dong Yu, including Zhu Chunchen, Zhu Guobi and his relatives, and some of their confidant servants, need Xu Changqing to be raised first.

It would be fine if the women under Dong Yu were raised. After all, they were all Xu Changqing's property. In the future, not only would Dong Yu reopen the Jinxiu Pavilion in Haicheng, but some of them could be rewarded to the meritorious soldiers, and even Xu Changqing enjoyed it himself, so he would not lose money no matter how he calculated it.

But Zhu Chunchen and his family members were a little disgusted.

I thought they were in the capital, and new tricks emerged every day when they asked for treatment.

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Changqing was not too rash and satisfied their basic heating requirements, and added some fish and meat levels to their diet.

After all, Zhu Chunchen and the others are still "charging in the battle" in Qufu, so they should give them some sweetness.

As it snowed, the effect of the panoramic balcony of Xu Changqing's study room began to appear. It was still very comfortable to lie on the sofa and lean against the warm brazier.

Of course, what is indispensable is at least a dozen encrypted information from all parties every day.

At this time, the talks in Qufu had entered the fourth day, but there was still no progress. There was no difference except quarrel, no substantial result.

But Xu Changqing didn't care at all.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Xu Changqing founded this meeting was to drag Shi Kefa and the others over there!

After all, you can’t really fight this kind of thing. At least you have to wait for the right time and the right reason, but you can’t let it go. The best way is to delay it.

In this process, you can also remove some impurities and kill the chicken to warn the monkey, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

wrong.

To be precise, it should be a kill of three birds with one stone!

The Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, but these Jiangnan master soldiers are always hanging out, not going up or down, and not going to mutiny.

Once they have civil strife, even if they really have to take action, the Model Army can save a lot of effort, and Xu Changqing is too lazy to pay attention to them too much.

To put it bluntly, it’s still the same old saying, ‘The butt determines the head’.

Even though Xu Changqing had not met with Shi Kefa and the others at this time, he had already expected that their thoughts were nothing more than the initiative of the "national foundation".

If Xu Changqing had not rescued the crown prince Zhu Cilang before, I'm afraid Mr. Hongguang would have ascended the throne in Nanjing.

What really worried Xu Changqing was the capital and Guanning!

The main reason is that history has already deviated greatly at this time. The Zu family and the Wu family are still there, and the refugee army is only stronger than in history. He is so cruel in all aspects. If he is not careful, it will be a huge uproar.

"Report—"

"The latest urgent report from the capital!"

While I was thinking, another secret report was sent.

Xu Changqing opened it and looked at it, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It was almost the Chinese New Year, and Li Zicheng finally couldn't help it. He had already started to attack the officials in Beijing and appointed the "clearance officer" this time as Liu Zongmin.

Even though Xu Changqing didn't know whether Liu Zongmin had developed the legendary "shackles", he thought it would be too soon.

Once the migrant army decides to start clearing,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Collecting silver at least indicates that in recent times, to be precise, there should be little problem here during the period before the New Year.

After all, they also want to have a safe New Year.

The refugee army did not move, and Wu Sangui and Zu's family would not have made too much move.

In this way, the Qing army would be the same.

In this way, the situation at this time is likely to be maintained, and Xu Changqing will undoubtedly get more respite and recovery opportunities.

After drinking a sip of tea, Xu Changqing took out his pen and quickly wrote a judgment on the paper that only he could understand, and then let Gu Hengbo, who was on duty in the inner study room, stick it on the wall.

Gu Hengbo twisted his slender waist and looked at the words written by Xu Changqing, and was speechless. He glanced at Xu Changqing helplessly, but she also understood that this was Xu Changqing's secret and did not say much. After posting it, Niao Niao went to add water to Xu Changqing's teacup.

"Haha, Meijie, Youwei has given birth to a son, don't you envy him? Xin'er is so lonely alone."

Looking at Gu Hengbo's beautiful figure, Xu Changqing couldn't help but tease.

Gu Hengbo immediately gave Xu Changqing another look and said softly: "I'll go and see if Xin'er is asleep, come over later..."

Seeing Gu Hengbo running away in panic, Xu Changqing was a little bored and could only concentrate his energy on the huge sand table not far away.

Xu Changqing actually understood Gu Hengbo's thoughts very well. If there was nothing in the afternoon, there would be fewer things in the afternoon. But at this time, when Zhengzhi was the busiest in the morning, she said that she would not let herself succeed.

Before Gu Hengbo left, Li Yan came here in person. "Lord, the rewards for the 2000th Corps are ready, and the men are already waiting."

Xu Changqing instantly calmed down and asked his personal soldiers to help him put on his coat. He nodded and said, "Let's go there now. It's so cold, don't let the men wait for a long time."

"yes."

...

Military power has always been the top priority and the foundation of everything. Xu Changqing never dared to neglect the slightest part of this.

After finishing the reward from the 2000th Corps, I personally sent the reward silver to every child, and it was already time for Shen.

Xu Changqing was about to continue to talk to the soldiers and understand the status of the soldiers more deeply, suddenly a personal soldier rushed over and reported: "Master, there was just news from the Xinguan Hall that the Empress seemed to be sick..."

"Um?"

Xu Changqing frowned and looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan was also shocked, and a cold sweat oozed out for a moment. He quickly explained in a low voice: "Lord, my subordinates have been busy with rewards these days. The Empress has not looked for her subordinates except for her routine life needs..."

He couldn't help but be nervous.

On the road, it’s nothing to avoid suspicion between Xu Changqing and Empress Zhou. After all, it can be limited to Empress Zhou and the others in a small controllable area. Xu Changqing can also use the need to "guard them in full" to cover up the situation.

But when he arrived in Haicheng, there were many people and eyes, so he had to pay attention, so as soon as Xu Changqing came back, he handed over the contact matter with Queen Zhou to Li Yan.

Xu Changqing didn't expect that Queen Zhou would have been in good health and would suddenly get sick at this time.

This is not as good as in later generations. Not to mention a serious illness, a small cold is enough to kill people.

If Empress Zhou has an accident... then Xu Changqing is really going to cry.

Who would have thought that after finally nothing happened to the big head on several sides, I thought it was the best control, and it was just under my nose that something happened to Queen Zhou!

It really responded to the old saying: "You will never know which one is tomorrow or an accident will come first..."

"Let's go and have a look."

Xu Changqing quickly made a decision

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

.

"yes."

Soon, Xu Changqing and Li Yan and his group arrived at the Xinguan Hall.

Many people had gathered in and outside the side courtyard where Empress Zhou lived.

"Brother."

"Brother..."

"I've seen Mr. Bo..."

As soon as they saw Xu Changqing coming, everyone hurriedly saluted respectfully.

Zhu Chunchen's original wife was here at this time. Xu Changqing had met her several times before because of warmth and treatment, and she knew her. This woman was also a very delicate person. While greeting her, Xu Changqing asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Mrs. Zhu was also a little panicked and whispered in a low voice: "Master, I don't know... It's a bit sudden, I've just come here. Now several doctors and military doctors have entered. Please be content. The Queen has always been in good health and should be fine..."

Xu Changqing let out a long sigh, nodded slowly, and raised his energy to the living room.

At the end of the slender corridor, there were also many people gathered inside and outside the bedroom door, but no one dared to speak. Xu Changqing could clearly hear the voices of the doctor asking about Zhu Moe and Zhu Cixuan.

It was useless now, so Xu Changqing could only sit on the sofa with a gloomy face.

At this time, someone else rushed in outside and said as he walked: "What's wrong with this? Where is the Queen?"

The person who came was a beautiful woman in her early thirties, with a tall figure. Although she was just wearing a plain long skirt and didn't dress up much, her natural beauty and nobleness still made Xu Changqing's eyes shine.

Seeing her anxiously going to the bedroom, Xu Changqing said coldly: "Don't go there, there are so many people, why are you causing trouble in the past?!"

"Ai?"

The beautiful woman was in a hurry, but when she heard Xu Changqing's words, she was stunned and hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing subconsciously.

Xu Changqing was annoyed, but when Muran saw her face, she couldn't help but stand there cutely...

For a moment, Xu Changqing could not describe this woman in words and could not come back to her senses for a long time.

Before, when I saw her for the first time, Xu Changqing just glanced at her and thought she was very good, with a good figure, good skin, and better temperament, but that's all, and I didn't look at it much. After all, if you don't talk about this kind of woman, Xu Changqing's back house is really not short of them. The most representative one is Gu Hengbo.

But at this moment Muran saw her face clearly...

Xu Changqing never thought that there was someone who could combine countless temperaments such as purity, cuteness, maturity, intellectuality, nobility, etc. so perfectly.

But Xu Changqing did not recognize this beautiful woman. This beautiful woman recognized Xu Changqing at this time. Especially when Xu Changqing stared at her so blatantly, a shy blush appeared on her pretty face, and she hurriedly said: "I have met Uncle Zhongyi."

The voice was already a little cold, and the reminder was beyond words.

Xu Changqing also felt that this beautiful woman looked familiar at this moment, but she didn't expect to see her somewhere. Seeing that she was actually wearing thorns, Xu Changqing was a little unhappy and immediately replied, "You can come here and sit and wait. You can't help you in the past, you're just causing trouble."

"I……"

The beautiful woman's pretty face was choked and her pretty face turned red, and her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Changqing incredibly. She had never met anyone who dared to talk to her like this.

But seeing that Xu Changqing had already taken out a cigar and held it in a sloppy manner, she suddenly realized that at this time, things had changed...

Moreover, what Xu Changqing said is not wrong. Even if she goes through now, she can't help. It's really just causing trouble.
