Although Wang Zhizheng and Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Xia Yunyi is of a similar age, more than ten years older than Chen Zilong, who was the year of the crown, but as soon as he became a scholar of the Prince Taifu Jiawu Yingdian in the previous dynasty (Tianqi Dynasty), he became a very popular minister, and became the uncrowned emperor of the Ming Empire。 Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Zhizheng was very approachable, he smiled and said to the four people: "The four gentlemen are all heroes of Wuzhong, the model leaders of the corporal people in the world, today I Wang Zhizheng have the honor to sit at a table with the gentlemen, I feel really comfortable!"

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Zhang Pu smiled and shook the folding fan and said: "Master Hou, if you want to talk about the leader of the scholars, I Zhang Pu don't dare to be, I came with these talents in Wuzhong, first, to pay tribute to you, the majesty of the former imperial master, and secondly, I also have important things I want to negotiate with you." ”

Wang Zhizheng thought to himself: I am an idler at home, you Jiangnan heroes come to me to discuss something.

He smiled slightly: "Oh? Mr. Ximing (Zhang Pu's name Ximing) is looking for me to be such an idler at home, isn't it that I can still exert some residual heat? What important things will I discuss?"

Zhang Pu smiled, then looked at Zhang Cai and the three of them, and said, "We will discuss this matter later, we haven't seen Master Hou for a long time, how about we talk about the old days first?"

Wang Zhizheng looked up at Ruan Dacheng and Ruan Daying, and knew that Zhang Pu didn't want to say too much in front of Ruan Dacheng, a "Donglin traitor", but today, Ruan's Mansion is the host and they are guests, and they don't want to be embarrassed to explain, so he smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Wang Zhizheng looked at the three brothers Huang Zongxi, and said with a smile: "Taichong, you studied under Mr. Liu Zongzhou, you must have made a lot of progress recently, I asked you to express your intention to study to Mr. Liu Zongzhou back then, why didn't there be a response?"

Huang Zongxi fought with Wang Zhizheng in the south and north as a young man, and he respected and was not polite to this old boss, so he smiled and took a sip of tea:" Hou Ye, I said at the time, my teacher is the most afraid of dealing with you big officials and magnates, to Shaoxing Shanyin, I immediately told my teacher my thoughts, as a result, my teacher's expression changed greatly when he heard it, and he hurriedly shook his hand and said: Wang Taifu is a very human minister, and he is a new court minister, I don't want to go to this political whirlpool, if you want to study with me, if you want to seek an official or follow Wang Taifu as well, as soon as I heard it, I was afraid that the master would drive me away, so I didn't dare to mention this matter again. ”

After hearing this, Wang Zhizheng laughed and said: "This old pedant, I have resigned from the official position for so long, and I am still not qualified to be his apprentice. ”

Ruan Dacheng, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, smiled and said: "Master Hou, Mr. Qishan (Liu Zongzhou), I am also very familiar with this person, if you don't give up, I will come to visit to express your thoughts to Mr. Qishan, and simply invite him to Chongguo Mansion as a guest of ......."

Ruan Dacheng originally wanted to express that I still have a lot of dealings with Sergeant Wu, but as a result, everyone laughed together.

Especially Chen Zilong, he actually opened his mouth and said to Ruan Dacheng: "Hahaha, Mr. Yuanhai has too much face, I'm afraid Mr. Liu won't dare to see you!"

Chen Zilong, a child who had just reached the crown, actually mocked Ruan Dacheng so much, which made Ruan Dacheng's face blue and white for a while, but he has always been extremely cultivated, and he is quite urban, so he quickly calmed down.

The subtle changes on Ruan Dacheng's face did not escape Wang Zhizheng's eyes, Wang Zhizheng thought: The scribes look down on the "renegade" Ruan Dacheng, but people like Ruan Dacheng are the most offended, I am afraid that Zhang Pu and Chen Zilong will suffer his losses in the future.

After Ruan Dacheng calmed down, he smiled and clenched his fists and said, "I am reckless, let Mr. Zhu laugh." ”

Wang Zhizheng saw the embarrassing situation of the Ruan brothers, so he hurriedly laughed and relieved the siege: "Actually, what Mr. Yuanhai said is also a way, but although you have a relationship with Liu Zongzhou, you don't have a deep understanding of this person, Mr. Liu is a paranoid person, if he thinks that he is not willing to travel with my Wang Zhizheng, I'm afraid that no one except the emperor will not please move him!"

As soon as Wang Zhizheng said this, Ruan Dacheng felt a burst of gratitude in his heart: After all, he was born in a princely family and had seen the world, so it seems that the recuperation of your group of madmen is far worse than others.

As soon as Ruan Dacheng showed his head, he was ridiculed by the talented people in Wuzhong, and simply sat honestly and ate tea without saying a word.

Zhang Pu stared at Wang Zhizheng with a smile and said: "Master Hou, this time we came to Tongcheng, one is to get together with Lord Hou, and the other is to worship Zuo Ge Lao. ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said: "I originally planned to worship Zuo Ge Lao with Mr. Yuanhai, my inner Ruan, and Zuo tomorrow, since everyone is just here, then let's simply go together tomorrow." ”

Ruan Dacheng stood up with a smile and said: "Today, Wu Zhong Haojun is in a good place, so that the bad mansion is full of brilliance, today let Ruan do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, I will first say goodbye and arrange a banquet, everyone will drink tea and chat here." ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand and went out with his brother Ruan Daying.

As soon as Ruan Dacheng went out, Wang Zhizheng complained to Zhang Pu and said: "Mr. Zhang, you shouldn't joke about Ruan Dacheng, although Ruan Dacheng has betrayed, but after all, he is the best friend of Zuo Guangdou Zuo Ge Lao, secondly, he is today's main family, and thirdly, he has long been idle at home, far away from the political situation. ”

Zhang Pu nodded and didn't speak yet, but Chen Zilong said disdainfully: "Master Hou, Ruan Dacheng is a villain, I have been polite enough to speak today." ”

Zhang Pu was about to reprimand Chen Zilong, but Huang Zongxi opened his mouth first to protect his old boss: "Chen Zilong, how can you talk to Master Hou!"

Chen Zilong saw everyone scolding him, and quickly lowered his head and said: "Master Hou, I am young and don't understand the world, thank you Master Hou for your advice." ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded: "Well, you have to have more ideas in the future, especially in the officialdom, and pay attention to the background of the door valve, which is also the disadvantage of the Donglin Party, Ruan Dacheng is a person, if he is not willing, he may follow you everywhere, but if he has a knife, he is also the easiest to retaliate against you, you know, the person who can endure is the person who holds the most grudge!,"

Zhang Pu, Huang Zongxi, Xia Yunyi, and Chen Zilong were all sitting and listening to Wang Zhizheng's reprimand.
