"If you have a copy, you will leave the court without any trouble." Wang Chengen opened his sharp voice and shouted. He finally could leave the court. He got up at three o'clock in the morning, took a sip of porridge, and stood until now, exhausted. Li Guodong said in his heart.

The former Xincheng Bo Mansion, which was confiscated and confiscated, has now become Li Guodong's mansion in Nanjing. Chongzhen rewarded Xincheng Bo Mansion to Li Guodong.

Liu Rushi arranged the matters in the backyard of her home. Although she was a concubine, she knew better how to housekeepers than the wife of He Xiuying, a farmer's daughter. The arrangements at home were arranged in an orderly manner, and the plaque of Xincheng Bo Mansion was also replaced by the Duke of Chu's Mansion.

Thinking of Liu Rushi, Li Guodong glanced at Qian Qianyi. Before, Liu Rushi was arranged by Li Guodong as the shopkeeper of the Donglin Silver House in Jiangnan because he knew how to settle the score. As a result, Qian Qianyi kept asking various excuses to talk to him after seeing Liu Rushi. It seemed that their fate was not over in another time and space. However, Li Guodong believed that Liu Rushi could not betray him. After all, he was only in his thirties and became a Duke with his true ability. He had a bright future. If he had no woman, he would not have given up on himself and turned into the arms of an old man.

Just as Li Guodong was about to leave the Forbidden City, Wang Chengen walked up and said, "Dude, the emperor asked you to have a meal."

Li Guodong didn't know what Chongzhen called him. To be honest, he didn't like to go to Chongzhen's imperial meals. After arriving in Nanjing, Li Guodong had dinner with Chongzhen in the palace a few days ago. Chongzhen had silver in his pocket and went to the prosperous place in Jiangnan. However, he still saved as usual. A meal consisted of four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables. In this way, he also said that his life is so good now. In the past, he often couldn't see meat and fish in a meal, but now half of them are meat dishes.

Following Wang Chengen into Wuying Hall, there was a table in the middle of the hall. Today, Chongzhen didn’t know why, but there were six dishes and one soup on the table, plus a staple fried noodles and a dessert, which could be considered eight dishes and one soup. When did Chongzhen be so luxurious?

"Your Majesty!" Li Guodong saluted.

"Li Aiqing, get up and sit down." Chongzhen said.

"I heard that Your Majesty only has four dishes and one soup on weekdays. Why did you prepare so many dishes today?" Li Guodong sat down.

"It's not for you, Li Aiqing, you will be the admiral of Jiangbei, take control of Jiangbei's military power, be responsible for resisting Jiannu, complimenting the capital, shouldering such an important task, and I will treat this meal as a way to see you off."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chongzhen finally asked about the serious matters, and he asked with a stern face: "Li Aiqing, why do you firmly oppose Shi Daolin's Governor of the Two Huai Rivers? If Jiannu goes south, the two Huai Rivers will be a place that military strategists must fight for. It is my Ming Dynasty practice to serve as the Minister of War to be the Governor of the Border. What is wrong with Shi Daolin's?"

Of course, Li Guodong could not say that the history books said that Shi Kefa's military incompetence led to the massacre of Yangzhou by the Qing army. He could only say: "Your Majesty, I think that the Master of Shi Pavilion is not good at using troops, I am afraid that he will stop his plan to destroy the enemy at that time, so he strongly opposes it."

Chongzhen laughed: "Although Daolin is pedantic, he will never be vague in major matters. As long as Li Aiqing has a plan to defeat the enemy, why should he object? I think Daolin is not that kind of person."

Li Guodong lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, it's really horrifying because of my plan to defeat the enemy."

"What's so terrifying?"

"Fire burns Xinye and floods the seven armies."

"What kind of fire burns Xinye and floods the Seven Armies?" Chongzhen's face changed slightly.

"I plan to lure Jiannu into the city and burn half of his troops with fire. The remaining enemies will inevitably flee in a hurry. When Jiannu fled to Huai'an, open the gate and release the water, so that Jiannu will become a fish and turtle."

Chongzhen's face changed drastically: "Isn't this a harm to the people?"

"I will move the people as soon as possible to minimize casualties."

"It's okay to attack fire, but if the water attack, even if the people are moved away in time, millions of fertile land will be reduced to a marsh country, and all the towns in Huaihe River will be destroyed. How many people will be homeless?" Chongzhen shook his head, "I cannot promise to create disasters for mankind."

"Your Majesty!" Li Guodong stood up and saluted Chongzhen: "I will minimize the disaster. Although the fertile land will turn into a country, it will inevitably lead to the death of the people. However, compared with the Jiannu's attack on Jiangnan, there will be fewer people to die than Jiannu's attack on Jiangnan! Once the battle of Yangzhou is defeated, Jiannu will cross the Yangtze River and go south, how many cities will be slaughtered, and how many innocent people will be killed? In this battle, I will destroy the main force of Jiannu. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will be able to attack the Central Plains, restore the capital, and regain the country!"

When Chongzhen heard that he had restored the capital and regained the country, his eyes shone: "Li Aiqing, then you can let go! As long as you hurt the people as little as possible, I can hold you over here. Shi Daolin is too pedantic and will definitely not convince him, and I will not let him cause trouble for you."

After the meal, the king and his ministers chatted for a long time until it was almost dark. Chongzhen, who was still unsatisfied, looked at the sky and asked Wang Chengen to see him off.

After walking out of Wuying Hall, Li Guodong saw Princess Kunxing again. When he saw the princess, he hurried forward and saluted: "Your Highness, Princess."

"The Duke of Chu doesn't have to be such a big gift." Princess Kunxing said with a smile.

Li Guodong looked at the princess carefully. It was only three months after leaving the capital. The childishness on the princess's face had completely disappeared. The major change made her mature a lot and her small body grew. The princess was originally tall. In the era when the average height of the Ming Dynasty women was less than 1.5 meters, Princess Kunxing was at least 1.68 meters. Although the palace costume covered her legs, she was definitely a long leg. Such beauties were too rare in this era. Liu Rushi's only 1.5 meters, and I heard that Li Xiangjun was less than 1.4 meters.

Shen Yunying is tall, but her arms and thighs are almost as thick as men. There is no way, she is a martial arts practitioner.

Among all the women Li Guodong had met in Daming, according to his aesthetic point of view, Princess Kunxing can be said to be the most perfect one. She is tall and in line with the aesthetic point of later generations. The rest of the women, except for Shen Yunying, who is a violent and fierce woman, are all pocket-sized beauties.

It’s a pity that I can’t marry a princess, and I don’t know which man such a beautiful princess will be cheaper in the future.

Princess Kunxing didn't know that Li Guodong had thought so much. When she saw Li Guodong, she was stunned. She asked, "Duke Chu, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about the things I just told His Majesty." Li Guodong replied. Of course, I can't tell you the truth, how to push the princess down.

"The father is busy again. He can't finish memorials every day, and he doesn't sleep until late at night every day. When I think about it, I still miss the days on the road. For three months, the father doesn't have to face the ministers in the court or review the memorials piled up like a mountain. These three months are also the happiest months for Mr. Kuanxing." Princess Kunxing said quietly, and she said to herself: In these three months, you can see Duke Chu every day. You have told me a lot of interesting stories. Such days may not happen in the future.

Li Guodong suddenly thought of something, and he had a sudden inspiration and said, "Your Highness, you have grown up, so you can build a princess mansion for you, so that you can live in the princess mansion in the future."

He asked the princess to build a princess's mansion, so he naturally had selfish intentions. If Princess Kunxing had her own princess' mansion, it would be convenient to see her in the future. Although there was no hope of marrying a princess, such a little beauty would be pleasing to the eye at a glance. If she could see her frequently, why not?

Princess Kunxing said sadly: "The father will not agree. Now the man has no son-in-law, so the father will not waste money to build the princess's mansion."

When she said the word "Son-Consort", she blushed and her voice was so low that only she could hear it. The original qualifying son-in-law Zhou Shixian was no longer a son-in-law. The Zhou family had become an official of the Qing Dynasty in the north, so naturally they broke off contact with the Ming Dynasty and had no grace and righteousness with Princess Kunxing.
