It was already late at night when we left the palace and returned to Wuyu Pavilion.

By this time, a not too thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.

Both Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu have gone back to their courtyard to rest, but Yang Jiao's mother is still here waiting for Li Yuanqing's return.

Seeing Li Yuanqing enter the yard, Yang Jiao's mother hurriedly came up to her, pulled Li Yuanqing into the door, smiled and patted the snowflakes on Li Yuanqing's body, "Yuanqing, is it going well tonight? Madam Feng Sheng didn't trouble you, did she?

?”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "It's okay. Are Sanlang and Fangxin asleep?"

Yang Jiao's mother smiled and nodded, "Fangxin is very good, but Sanlang is a headache. It took a lot of effort to coax him to sleep."

As she spoke, she brought a bowl of hot goat milk to Li Yuanqing, "It has just been warmed for a while, drink some to warm yourself up."

Li Yuanqing smiled, took the goat's milk, tested the temperature, and found it was just right. He added some sugar and the taste was just right. He drank the goat's milk in one gulp.

In this era, milk is a luxury product. Nomadic peoples, such as the Mongols and Jurchens, usually drink horse milk and sheep milk. In the Ming Dynasty, horse milk was also a luxury product, even if it was sheep milk.

~Milks can only be enjoyed by wealthy people.

If you can drink it anytime and anywhere, you must at least be a grandson of a wealthy family.

After a bowl of hot goat and milk, Li Yuanqing felt a lot warmer, and the cold wind dissipated a lot. He lit a cigar, sat on a chair by the window, listened to the cold wind howling outside the window, and said with a smile

: "Jiao~Mother, don't wait for me so late in the future. You have just given birth and need a lot of rest, but you can't break your body. Otherwise, I will die of heartache?"

Yang Jiao's pretty face couldn't help but blush, but her heart was filled with sweetness. She smiled and said, "Yun Niang and Min Qiu are not familiar with each other in Beijing. They are also tired today. If I don't wait for you, who else will care about you?"

Li Yuanqing smiled, took her little hand, held her in his arms, and kissed her gently on her pretty face, "Female junior, hold Jin Brick. I knew you were still the sweetest girl~ Mom, you are the best to me.

.”

The two were affectionate for a while, and Li Yuanqing said, "Go and warm my bed while I go take a dip in the soup pool."

Yang Jiao's mother also understood that Li Yuanqing didn't want her to get hurt anymore, so she nodded obediently.

…………

Lying alone in the large pool and lighting a cigar, Li Yuanqing's agitated thoughts had calmed down.

As for the courtiers, where are the princes and grandsons of Rener?

Eunuch Wei forcefully blocked the emperor's contact with the outside world. If they wanted to know the emperor's first move, it would be impossible.

But Li Yuanqing, because of his relationship with the Hakka family, had first-hand knowledge of the dynasty's secrets tonight.

After Zhang Baozhu was "snatched" by Li Yuanqing, for a period of time, the little emperor Tianqi didn't seem to feel much, but felt a little "liberated". But~, as time went by, this huge sense of loss simply made him

Nowhere to vent.

Especially since the second half of the sixth year of Tianqi, the little emperor Tianqi's temper has become increasingly violent. He is riotous and indulgent every day, and even seldom does his favorite carpentry work.

At this time, although the little emperor Tianqi was not 'caught by the wind and cold' as Eunuch Wei said, he was in the company of fine wine and beautiful women every day, and even the Hakka family rarely came over.

Unfortunately, he never had any children.

Although Ke didn't say it clearly to Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing understood what she meant.

She has reached a compromise with Eunuch Wei, and wants to implement the plan of 'civet cat for prince'!

Li Yuanqing took a deep breath from the cigar, exhaled a long breath, and suddenly a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth!

Eunuch Wei is indeed good, he has brains, means and scheming.

What a pity, it is a small farmer’s consciousness after all!

I'm afraid he doesn't understand where his rights come from!

How can the royal blood cover the sky with one hand?

No wonder later, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to cut him and his tribe to pieces because they had broken the rules of the game.

But~~, Li Yuanqing is now thinking about it, if it weren’t for the fact that the little Emperor Tianqi’s body was too weak to survive, then they would have actually done it!

Historically, the reason why they failed to do it was, on the one hand, because they were a little carried away by the "completely controlled" victory. On the other hand, the main reason was that the body bones of the little emperor Apocalypse were too weak, and he died immediately after falling into the water.

He didn't catch his breath and didn't give them enough time.

Otherwise, although it is a womanly method with a small farmer's consciousness, it will not work, and history will...

At this time, Li Yuanqing certainly understood what Hakka meant.

Instead of asking their useless heirs to do it, how about letting Li Yuanqing do it himself?

After all, Li Yuanqing has the power and troops in his hands. Once the matter is accomplished, he will definitely stand on their side...

Li Yuanqing rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and shook his head with a smile.

Beat the old master to death with random punches.

According to Li Yuanqing's control of the pulse of history, it is not too difficult to accomplish this.

Especially at this time, Li Yuanqing had several wives and concubines who were actually pregnant...

The Hakka family even promised that as soon as the matter was completed, Li Yuanqing would be granted the title of Marquis and transferred to the capital.

Although the duties have not been clearly defined, it seems that it is not difficult to effectively control the troops in the Beijing camp...

However, although the temptation is good, Li Yuanqing also clearly knows the risks involved.

Although the Ming Dynasty was in decline at this time, its roots were still there. If Chongzhen had not destroyed the Great Wall, not to mention the annihilation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it would have lasted for another ten or twenty years. The problem

It's actually not too big.

And at this time, I want to be Lu Buwei...

But the Hakka family has already raised this matter. If Li Yuanqing blatantly refuses, it is definitely not an option. After all, there will still be at least half a year before the death of the little emperor Tianqi!

Damn it!

Li Yuanqing also didn't expect to be pushed to the edge of such a nasty fire pit.

But things have already happened, and escaping is by no means an option. The only solution is to deal with it head-on.

Li Yuanqing played with the cigar in his hand and his expression gradually darkened.

According to this situation, the best solution is to remove the Hakka...

However, the Hakka family has always lived in the deep palace. It is extremely difficult to attack the Hakka family.

Li Yuanqing sank his whole body into the water, closed his eyes and thought...

…………

The next day, before dawn, Li Yuanqing got up, came to the yard, and began to move his hands and feet.

At this time, the sky was fluttering, snowflakes were dancing, and the whole world seemed a little confused.

But this did not affect Li Yuanqing's interest at all. He ran circles, did push-ups, pull-ups, stretched, and straightened his back like a flowing cloud.

By the time Li Yuanqing was able to fully move his body, he had already run more than ten miles, but it was only around seven o'clock.

At this time, Yang Jiao's mother, Zhang Yunniang, Qu Minqiu and others got up and gathered in Yang Jiao's yard to have breakfast and go see the house.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing actually got up so early, Yang Jiao's mother was also a little surprised, "Yuan Qing, why did you get up so early today?"

Li Yuanqing smiled: "I couldn't sleep, so I got up and moved around! What are your plans for today?"

Qu Minqiu smiled and said: "Of course we are going to see the house. Yuan Qing, if you have nothing to do today, will you accompany us?"

Li Yuanqing smiled: "This matter is not urgent. You go and see it first. When you have a good look, I will accompany you to see it."

Qu Minqiu pursed her lips in displeasure, but she was still very happy that Li Yuanqing allowed her to buy a house in the capital, and soon she felt happy again.

After having breakfast with the three eldest wives and sending them to the carriage, Li Yuanqing quickly arrived at Sanfu Inn.

Not long after, a familiar figure knelt down respectfully in front of Li Yuanqing.

"Chen Chuang, a humble official, has met the general."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Xiao Chuang, thank you for your hard work these days."

Chen Chuang chuckled: "Sharing the general's worries is the blessing of a humble position."

Li Yuanqing nodded and motioned for Chen Chuang to get up and come to him.

Chen Chuang hurriedly got up and quickly came to Li Yuanqing's side, bowing his head and obeying his orders.

…………

After a while, watching Chen Chuang leave quickly, Li Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

As Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang famously said, "Cleave the road of life and death with both hands, and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife!"

As a human being, if you want to achieve great things, if you are not cruel to yourself, how can you be more cruel to others?

Chen Chuang is the leader of Li Yuanqing's "Warehouse No. 3" and the most secretive force under Li Yuanqing.
