It is the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and it is about to be the New Year, and the people and traders in Nanjing have many smiles.

The reason is very simple, the year before last and last year, the two Japanese rebellions, the Japanese invaded Yangzhou, Tongzhou, and Changzhou, and the soldiers pointed directly at Nanjing, and a small group of Japanese invaders almost invaded Yingtianfu, not to mention the rest, but the daily life of the people and the business of the traders were greatly affected.

But this year was different, Xu Hai led the army to invade Jiaxing and Huzhou, and most of the cheap Japanese were exterminated by Yu Dayou and Wang Chonggu in Susong, and a small number of Japanese invaders marched west along the Yangtze River, but they were easily wiped out by Gao Jie, the governor of Caojiang.

Out of the dock, Qian Yuan and his entourage went straight into the city, looking left and right at the street and the market was crowded, there were many people purchasing New Year's goods, and couldn't help laughing: "Gao Yanqing is close to the sixtieth year, but he is old and strong, not weaker than others." ”

Yang Wen on the side whispered: "It is said that you want to raise the adult to return to the court?" ”

"How is that possible!" Qian Yuan shook his head, with Gao Gong here, Gao Jie can't go back to Beijing in his life, and because of Gao Jie, Gao Gong still has a lot of worries now

There is a shameless person in the court who is proposing, Cao Jiang Governor Gao Jie, who has many military exploits, and becomes an earl...... Once Gao Jie gets the title, no matter what, Gao Gong will not be able to enter the cabinet to govern for the scholars, this is a political rule, so Gao Gong is so angry that he jumps to his feet.

Gao Gong once mentioned when chatting with Qian Yuan in Suiyuan that it was the proposal of Hu Yingjia from the Ministry of Officials who had just been transferred back to Beijing, and this guy was still the same year as Qian Yuan.

I don't know who this Hu Yingjia is...... Qian Yuan pondered in his heart, if he didn't make it good, he was Xu Jie's person, and Yan Song shouldn't have this idle thought.

Before going south, Xu Wei had collected information about Hu Yingjia.

Grandfather Hu Lian Hongzhi during the Jinshi, the official to the household squire, once led the army to recruit Annam, Portuguese pirates, the Ming Dynasty foreign firearms collectively referred to as "Buddha Lang machine" from him.

Hu Yingjia's father and two uncles, one Jinshi, two lifters, cousin Hu Yingzheng is the leader of the Nanzhili Township Examination, but unfortunately he will fail the test several times, Hu Yingjia was elected to Yichun County, Jiangxi Province after the examination, but he returned to Beijing in less than half a year and was promoted to the Ministry of Households, there is no doubt that this is a guy with a very background.

After all, Qian Yuan was only interested in history in his previous life, not specializing in history, and he didn't know that Hu Yingjia was Gao Gong's sworn enemy in history.

Going straight to the west, bypassing the Sixth Department of Nanjing, Qian Yuan saw an acquaintance, Zhao Zhenji, who had been promoted to the secretary of Guanglu Temple in Nanjing, the old man and four or five officials were pausing on the side of the road, looking passionate and emotional.

Qian Yuan made a gesture to stop, listened carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head and continue to walk forward, no different from those bureaucrats in Beijing, probably accusing Hu Zongxian of spending countless amounts of food and salary, but repeatedly without success.

Qian Yuan was bored, but the officials loudly agreed, which was understandable.

It is said that in addition to the absence of an emperor and a cabinet in Nanjing, other Beijing has them, and Nanjing has them, and everyone knows it, and the main purpose of these yamen in Nanjing is to provide for the elderly, the young to improve their qualifications, and the political defeat to settle ......

But there are two yamen that are different, one is the Nanjing Military Department, and the other is the Nanjing Household Department.

But whenever there is chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, it is often the Nanjing Military Department Shilang or Shangshu who leads the troops to the battle, such as Zhang Jing, Tu Dashan, and Hu Zongxian are all in charge of the military power as the Nanjing Military Department Shilang and Shangshu.

And Nanjing's household department is even more important, because the distance is too far, the tax grain of Nanzhili is actually the responsibility of Nanjing's household department, not only Nanzhili, but also Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang Province, these places account for more than one-third of the country's tax grain.

This can understand why Nanjing officials hate Hu Zongxian so much...... Nanjing has a little power in these two places, one is the military department, and the other is the household department.

However, you, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, commanded the soldiers and horses of the six provinces, and did not bird the Nanjing military department at all, and promoted Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang and other places, and did not bird the Nanjing household department at all.

What's even worse is that when Yan Song fell, many of these officials in Nanjing turned over and returned to Beijing...... Qian Yuan thought about it and worried about Hu Zongxian, he offended everyone cleanly, and it really can't be said that it's just Xu Jie who wants to kill you.

Turning his head and glancing at Zhao Zhenji, who was quite conspicuous in the crowd, Qian Yuan had a strange emotion in his heart, watching the TV series "Ming Dynasty 1566" in his previous life, he was quite unfair to Zhao Zhenji...... is obviously an upright physicist, but he is portrayed as a bureaucrat who is left and right, obviously not reused in the Jiajing Dynasty, but inexplicably serves as the governor of Zhejiang in the play.

That TV series brought Zhao Zhenji a ridiculous face, but when Qian Yuan came to this time and space, he found that the history books also brought Zhao Zhenji a face that future generations could not see clearly.

Qian Zheng was the same year as Zhao Zhenji, who was also a Jinshi in the fourteenth year of Jiajing, and was also elected as a Shujishi, but the latter had a prosperous official fortune, and in the second year, he had to be awarded the Hanlin Academy to edit and revise the "Canon", teach the secretary of ceremonies, and be the examiner of the 23rd year of Jiajing.

And after Zhao Zhenji completed the examination in the ninth year of Hanlin, he immediately transferred Zhan Shifu to the right Si Yun of Youchun Fang, and concurrently served as the secretary of the country, and then Zhang Juzheng was promoted to the servant of the Ministry after taking these two positions, and then entered the cabinet.

In Qian Zheng's words, this is a meritorious person...... In Qian Yuan's understanding, this is an official who wants to do practical things, and the initial idealist has turned into a pragmatist, and at the same time pins his hopes on political groups.

Qian Yuan's evaluation is not too outrageous, in the Gengxu Change, Zhao Zhenji advocated a battle, so he was promoted to Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude, and when Yan Song did not pursue, he was scolded and demoted.

But in fact, people of insight in the DPRK and the Central Committee know in their hearts that delaying it is the best plan, and going to war is the most dangerous choice...... At that time, the three major battalions in the capital basically had no soldiers capable of fighting, and once the paper tiger was exposed, Beijing might fall.

Interestingly, although Zhao Zhenji was demoted out of Beijing to become a magistrate after the Gengxu Change, in general, in his career, like Xu Jie, he still took the road of the prime minister.

What's more interesting is that Xu Jie took the initiative to get up, but Zhao Zhenji was originally a member of the Heart School and one of the pillars of the Taizhou School.

Qian Yuan didn't know exactly when Zhao Zhenji formed a party with Xu Jie, but he was sure that Zhao Zhenji was a very important member of the Xu Party, and was recommended by Xu Jie's cabinet as a university scholar during the Longqing period.

Intricately intertwined and intricate...... Qian Yuan shook his head, he met Zhao Zhenji for the first time after killing all the Japanese in that small village last year, and then met for the second time in Nanjing City, and at that time he was sure that Zhao Zhenji was Xu Jie's pawn in Nanjing.

Hu Zongxian remained as the governor of Zhejiang, Wu Baipeng was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, and Qian Yuan grabbed the Zhejiang governor...... Will Xu Jie let Zhao Zhenji's chess piece mess up the game?

All kinds of doubts swirled in the mind of Qian Yuan, who kept walking, he listened to Xu Wei complain in Suiyuan, and Nanjing criticized Hu Zongxian, among which the happiest one was Zhao Zhenji, the secretary of Guanglu Temple in Nanjing.

Obviously, in the eyes of most important ministers in the DPRK, it is one thing when the southeast rebellion will be pacified, but the southeast is indeed a piece of fat, and those who are qualified should take a bite.

Qian Yuan didn't know that he would stay in the southeast for a few years before returning to Beijing, but he was sure that he had a lot to do......

According to the usual style in his previous life, Qian Yuan would set several goals in different sequences, would plant some ambushes, and would leave some back-ups, which is why he turned to the Yangtze River to reach Nanjing on the way south.

Someone had already reported in advance that after all, it was the Duke's Palace, and the middle gate was not opened, but Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei who was guarding Nanjing, was waiting outside the side door with a smile.
