Chongzhen had no good feelings for Concubine Zheng, so he found an excuse to collect the Zheng family's house and confiscate the property.

Zhou Kui worked hard for more than a year, but ended up making a wedding dress for Liu Mingyu. The house was picked by Zheng and replaced directly with a plaque from the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.

Some people's lives are living, while Liu Mingyu's lives are enjoyment.

Zheng Guotai’s mansion is not like a century-old rich family. As long as it is a century-old rich family, it has long washed away the traces of the explosive households, and is like a wealthy family and noble family, integrated into its bones.

Just like Zheng Guotai's study now, it is eight rooms wide, with an eaves of one and a half meters high, with a rare atmosphere and spaciousness. Looking out from the window of the study, it is a huge rockery that is more than two meters high and has a circumference of more than ten meters. The rockery on this rockery, at a high glance, think it is ordinary stones. If you look closely, you will definitely find that it is either Xiuyu, Dushan jade, or Lantian jade, with agate and Heguo jade mixed in between. On this piled rockery, there are green grass, flowers, gurgling water, and chirping birds, which is no different from a real mountain.

This study room covering an area of ​​500 and 600 square meters contains tens of millions of books, including isolated and treasured rubbings. However, most of the books have almost never been translated and are all used to decorate the storefront.

The paintings in the study are more of the original works of famous artists.

These treasures are now Liu Mingyu.

Liu Mingyu was actually indifferent to these things. The rockery that was built for millions was demolished by Liu Mingyu without reservation because these jade, coral and agate can be sold for a lot of money, but it is not safe to put it here.

Emperor Chongzhen treated Liu Mingyu on the surface, not only gave him this mansion worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, but also gave him four elderly palace maids.

Judging from the ages of the four palace maids in the Ming Dynasty, they are already very old and can be grandmas. However, they are about twenty-seven or eight years old. In later generations, they can call themselves little fairies. However, in the Ming Dynasty, they belonged to the old people.

There is no way. At this time, the average life expectancy of the Ming Dynasty was only 34 years old. No, women should live longer than men and have an average life of 39 years old.

It turns out that he was a palace maid from the palace. His ability to serve people was not blown out. Liu Mingyu was lying in the bathtub and was in a hot bath.

As long as Liu Mingyu has the chance, he likes to drink tea and take a hot bath. The hot water needs to make his skin feel slightly hot. Only in this way can every cell of his body be excited.

Liu Mingyu closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed the nourishment of hot water. Suddenly, he felt a rippling sound coming from the pool. Even though he did not open his eyes, he knew that these four palace maids began to devote themselves to their work.

Following Liu Mingyu's slightly open eyes, although he was wearing a thin slim dress as thin as a cicada's wing, his delicate figure was revealed from the gap. Unexpectedly, his small figure looked thin and weak, and he was still very... spectacular.

Two palace maids looked at Liu Mingyu timidly: "Mr., I..."

"continue"

Liu Mingyu was also very helpless and did not add unnecessary trouble to others. These palace maids were envious in the palace. In fact, they all lived a life of stagnation.

Four palace maids entered the state, one of them pressed their arms, one of them massaged their heads, and one of them prepared dried fruits, pastries, and tea.

In fact, the princesses of the Ming Dynasty usually married people, because they were worried that they would cause foreign relatives to interfere in politics. When he arrived at Chongzhen, he could no longer follow the ancestral teachings.

Chongzhen knew very well that if this continued, Liu Mingyu would replace the Duke of Wei and become the strongest nobleman of the Ming Dynasty. It could also be said to be a representative of the military honors, so there would be too many uncontrollable factors.

The only way is to learn from Taizu.

When Zhu Biao was alive, Zhu Biao's prince Yuan Concubine was Chang's daughter, Chang Yuchun's daughter. At that time, Comrade Zhu hoped that Zhu Biao would have Chang Yuchun's military influence.

Unfortunately, Chang Yuchun died too early.

Chongzhen reluctantly agreed that Liu Mingyu had the power to manage Liaoning. As a military minister, he became the first military appeasement envoy. If this official position was placed in the Song Dynasty, the military apprentice should be added to the military apprentice, which shows how great the influence was.

Of course, Liu Mingyu is now like a wild horse that has broken away from its reins, and Emperor Chongzhen also wants to put a rein on this wild horse.

Marrying Liu Ming was the only way for Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to have two insurances in this marriage. Now Liu Mingyu's eldest daughter Liu Ziyue is about the same age as the crown prince and can be the crown prince's concubine in the future.

However, the prince and Liu Mingyu's daughters were too young, and Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was a little unsafe, so he wanted to take another insurance policy.

So Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind to the eighth daughter of the emperor, that is, Emperor Chongzhen's eighth sister and Concubine Li Kang's daughter.

However, Liu Mingyu is different from others. He is already married and the husband and wife have a harmonious relationship. How could Princess Daming be a concubine?

"Sorry..."

Empress Zhou also knew that Emperor Chongzhen was now in a dilemma to win over Liu Mingyu.

"Why don't you talk to Liu Qing?"

"You... are good!"

However, the problem is that there are no secrets around Emperor Chongzhen.

The palace walls are not as good as ordinary people's homes. In the struggle for power, Concubine Li Kang never fought against the Apocalypse. As the saying goes, the money fell and the money scattered. Seeing that Concubine Li Kang was out of power, the eunuchs and palace maids stole all the jewelry she got when she was favored.

At the critical moment, Concubine Li Kang hugged Zhu Weiti, who was only eight years old at the time, and naturally she would not die. Just like a certain Bian was shot, it was just a farce written and directed by himself.

However, it was such a farce that made Apocalypse unable to attack their mothers again.

Taking over the moral commanding heights, Tianqi could only accept it with his nose. However, Concubine Li Kang kept her title, but she did not protect her future.

The eight daughters of the emperor were named Princess Anqing, which made Concubine Li Kang very happy, thinking that the mother and daughter had won the turnaround. However, Chongzhen did not move Concubine Li Kang out of Renshou Hall and still lived in this cold palace.

There are three kilograms of nails left in the broken ship. Concubine Li Kang has been in the palace for most of her life and fought for most of her life. She must have some confidence. What makes Concubine Li Kang the most worried is that Chongzhen will retaliate against his old grudges and marry Zhu Weiti to a sloppy man.

Of course, the least worrying issue is that the Ming Dynasty will not marry a marriage or marry the princess to foreign countries. No matter how Chongzhen suppressed her and her daughter, he would not marry her daughter to Mongolia or North Korea.

"Hongying, which family do you think this Duke of Yingguo is?"

The seventeen empresses of the Ming Dynasty, except for the third empress Xiaowen, Xu, who was the daughter of Duke Xu Da of Wei, the other empresses were not of high origin.

After all, Concubine Li Kang was in the cold palace and the news was blocked. She could only find out the obvious news that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to marry Zhu Weiti to Duke Yingguo and Liaoning's governor appeasement envoy.

The elderly palace maid named Hongying was the confidant of Concubine Li Kang and the accomplice of Queen Wang who killed her back then. Although she was as thin as a child, she was harboring a ruthlessness that made people afraid.

Hongying bowed and said, "As far as I know, Duke Yingguo was born in military merits. Now the celebrity in the court is said to have been alive since childhood and was born in the Liu family of Daming Mansion!"

"Liu?"

Concubine Li Kang was not very knowledgeable and did not know what Liu's origin was.

There are actually many rumors about Liu Mingyu. If you find a teahouse in the capital, you can hear dozens of storytelling about Liu Mingyu, but the rumors are very exaggerated.

Some storytellers regard Liu Mingyu as a similar to Zhao Zilong in Changshan, who can charge back and forth among millions of enemy troops. Some people say that he can run a horse on his arm and is more than a meter taller than a half.

It is definitely a good thing for Concubine Li Kang to be able to marry Wu Xun.

Hongying said: "The situation in the world is different now. Jiannu is said to have been beaten to annihilation. It is said that even Jiannu's Minister of War and Minister of Personnel surrendered."

"How is it possible? With his timid nature, when I coughed back then, he was frightened. He became a hero after not seeing him for a few years? This is impossible, Hongying, find a way to send my Weimu out!"

Hongying smiled awkwardly: "Empress, Duke Yingguo is the famous general who defeated Jiannu!"

"Since you are a famous general in a hundred battles, your body must be very good!"

Hongying took out a portrait from her arms and handed it to Concubine Li Kang and said, "This is what I have found!"

Concubine Li Kang looked at Liu Mingyu's portrait and nodded constantly: "This is not bad, but she looks a little thin!"

Speaking of this, Concubine Li Kang stood up tremblingly and took out a lacquer box from the dark cubicle under the bed. She made the lacquer box and exposed a golden light.

"These are my treasures in the bottom of the box. I originally wanted to buy some dowry for Wei Da..."

Concubine Li Kang handed the darkness directly to Hongying: "Take it and go and handle it... If there is no problem with Duke Ying, he would be a good destination. Otherwise, even if I try my best to stop it, I can't watch my wife jump into the fire pit."

Hongying's face was gloomy and unstable: "Empress, I forgot to say that this Duke of Yingguo is a good family and has accumulated millions of wealth at a young age!"

"How many millions of wealth?"

“That’s right!”

Hongying said excitedly: "As far as I know, Duke Yingguo has many industries, otherwise how could he support tens of thousands of soldiers? Now all over Liaodong rely on Duke Yingguo's breath."

Concubine Li Kang's eyes were moist: "Okay, that's good, as long as Wei Da doesn't endure hardship!"

No matter how difficult it is, parents in the world are the same. They should arrange a happy path for their children as much as possible.

The candle shadow swayed, and Liu Mingyu didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen had a big trouble for him, and the old cases would gradually surface.

Fortunately, Liu Mingyu was used to being "dominate" and dared to beat more than a dozen censors in the court. These officials of the Ministry of Rites dared not make things difficult for Liu Mingyu.

"Hey, Eunuch Wang, what wind blows you today?"

Liu Mingyu was drinking tea and looked at Wang Chengen with a smile.

Wang Chengen smiled and said, "Mr. Master, our family is the slave in front of the emperor. Master. My father-in-law, we must never be a servant!"

"I'm humble, right!"

Although Wang Chengen was very loyal to Chongzhen, his ability was somewhat problematic, otherwise he would not have to accompany Chongzhen to Coal Mountain at a critical moment.

Wang Chengen smiled.

"You come here tonight, what's the matter!"

"Master, the emperor will not go to the court tomorrow. I want to go out to hunt. I hope the grandpa will accompany you!"

"oh!"

Liu Mingyu nodded and said, "When is tomorrow?"
