Red makeup against the world

Chapter 890 Good News

In the same night, Wu Zhengxiang walked in the brightly lit Nanshi City.

The curfew is about to come, but people's enthusiasm for celebrating the victory has not faded in the slightest.Nanshi is extremely lively, crowded with people singing and dancing wildly, or reciting poems while drunk.

The emotions of the people in the capital have been suppressed for too long, and now they are releasing to their heart's content, singing loudly.It is conceivable what kind of applause the prince will win when he returns triumphantly.

Emperor Qinglong's decision was completed through his hands, which filled Wu Zhengxiang with a sense of accomplishment.

Feng Yi, who was following behind him, said: "My lord, I will leave the rest to my subordinates."

Wu Zhengxiang nodded, he should also take a good rest for a while.After several days of intensive planning, his mind never rested for a moment, and he didn't relax completely until he was done.

Back at Duke Zhong's mansion, Xu Wanzhen sent Zhiyu to wait for him at the second gate.

Although he didn't know what he was busy with recently, but when the news of today's great victory came out, Xu Wanzhen had a vague intuition that he should be done.

This kind of tacit understanding between the two has benefited Wu Zhengxiang very much.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Xu Wanzhen looked at him and asked with a smile.

Wu Zhengxiang nodded and said with a smile, "Wait for me." Just three words made Xu Wanzhen's pretty face blush.

He went to the clean room to take a shower, and his tall and straight figure became more and more oppressive.The tips of his hair were still dripping with water, and his chin, which had just been stubble-shaven, looked more masculine and resolute.

Xu Wanzhen had already sent out all the serving maids, she greeted him with a big towel, pushed him down on the beard stool, and wiped his wet hair.

Under the warm candlelight, the two did not speak a word, but they were full of sweetness.

This kind of tranquility and peace can only be felt by her side.Smelling the cold and delicate fragrance close at hand, Wu Zhengxiang's heart was shaken.

Before she could completely dry her black hair, Wu Zhengxiang stretched his long arms, and his delicate body fell into his arms.

"Did you miss me?" His voice was deep and sweet, like a cello plucking Xu Wanzhen's heartstrings.

"Of course." The two have been married for less than half a year, but Xu Wanzhen has the illusion that they have been together for a long time.She didn't want to hide this deep-rooted yearning.

Since we love each other so much, why bother to be duplicity?

A joyful smile appeared in Wu Zhengxiang's starry eyes, he tightened his arms around her, and placed a light kiss on her cheek.

"I won't be so busy in the future." At least before the prince came back, what Emperor Qinglong had to do was to take advantage of this big victory to stabilize the court and not make any big moves.

The Yamen is naturally going, but it will not be as irregular as before.

Xu Wanzhen rested her head on his chest, and pressed her left hand against his chest.This feeling is very warm.

"I want to go to the palace to spend a few days with the empress dowager, she is not in good health. This time, thanks to her old man who helped me cover it up." Xu Wanzhen spoke her plan in a soft voice.

"It's time to thank the Queen Mother." Wu Zhengxiang stroked her back with his hand, and the flesh that she had lost seemed to grow back.

"It's getting late, let's rest earlier. Huh?" Having said this, Wu Zhengxiang's eyes became more charming.

Xu Wanzhen blushed and said, "I, I'm inconvenient these few days."

After these words, Wu Zhengxiang didn't speak for a while.Xu Wanzhen peeked at him, seeing his expression of forbearance, she couldn't bear it.

The two are newlyweds, and they get together less and part more.Wu Zhengxiang was at the time when the demand was at its peak, so it was really difficult for him.

The plain hand lightly tapped on him, and Xu Wanzhen leaned close to his ear and whispered a word.

"Are you willing to do this for me?" Wu Zhengxiang's eyes lit up, then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll go take a shower."

She was willing, but he didn't want to wrong her.

Xu Wanzhen was a little shy, but stopped him.She has never done this kind of thing in two lifetimes, but for him, she is willing to try as much as possible.

Wu Zhengxiang carried her to the bed, the candle was extinguished at some unknown time, leaving only the lingering lingering in the room and the murmur of a lover.

……

The next day, the festive atmosphere in the capital had not dissipated yet, and another piece of good news came from the palace.

Emperor Qinglong's illness has been greatly improved, and the court meeting has resumed.The early morning is held from the next day to the beginning of each ten days.Although the interval was long, this signal gradually calmed down the uneasy hearts of the courtiers.

However, only Su Liangzhi knew that Emperor Qinglong ordered him to apply needles to forcefully stimulate his vitality.He originally had more than two years to live, but lost half a year of life.

The poison on Emperor Qinglong's body has been cured, and what is eroding his body now is the tiredness accumulated over the years.Originally, the imperial hospital was warming up with medicine, but the poison given by the abandoned prince brought out all the hidden diseases in his body.

In other words, Emperor Qinglong's illness was that his vitality was gradually extinguished, and the medicine and stone were useless.

There is very little the doctor can do.Right now, the decoction that Emperor Qinglong is taking is nothing more than hanging his life.The cost of forcibly stimulating vitality is huge, and no one in the hospital dares to try it.

But for Emperor Qinglong, he didn't care about how many years of life he had left.What he needs is enough energy to handle state affairs.One and a half years is enough for him to hand over a stable court situation to the crown prince.

Fortunately, there was Su Liangzhi, as Emperor Qinglong's son-in-law, only he dared to give the needle.

As early as the first day of the court, all the officials were dazed again by a heavy news.

Prime Minister Zhu Zihou wrote a letter begging for the bones, saying that he was old and faint and wanted to return to his hometown to provide for the elderly.

Guan Jinghuan, who was regarded as his successor, had already been beheaded. If he went again, the other bachelors were obviously not qualified enough.For a while, there was no successor to the position of prime minister.

Emperor Qinglong tried to persuade him to stay, kept his papers, and encouraged him to support and help the younger generation, and serve the court for a few more years.

Those who are eligible to go to the early court are all elites who have been in the ups and downs of their careers for many years.During the conversation between Zhu Zihou and Emperor Qinglong's monarchs and ministers, they all understood Emperor Qinglong's intentions.

The old minister wrote to beg for the bones, and the emperor would keep them as usual.It usually takes several papers, the emperor rejects it several times, and finally approves it.

As for whether to really stay or leave, it depends on the emperor's attitude and reasons.

Obviously, Emperor Qinglong's meaning is very clear, let him work for two years first, and promote ministers with enough qualifications to come up, and he can't just walk away like this.

It is one of the responsibilities of the prime minister to choose talents.

In just a moment, all the officials wanted to understand this truth, and looked at Zhu Zihou's trembling figure in front of him, and felt some sympathy.

Look, the emperor is already dissatisfied with him, and the good times of the Zhu family are coming to an end.

Zhu Zihou secretly rejoiced that he had brought up the matter on his own initiative, and he could return home with a good reputation in his hometown.If you wait for the emperor to propose, I am afraid the end will not be very good.

After the early court, the news spread that the emperor intended to inject new blood into the court and select talents.Every official is active.
