The north-south canal communicates the north and the south, and the end point of the canal in the north of the canal in the conventional sense is Tongzhou, no matter what time of day it arrives in Tongzhou, it will set off early in the morning of the next day, and the fast horse can enter Beijing in the afternoon, not to mention the Qian family guards who are responsible for delivering letters.

However, Liang Wen and Zhou Ji did not enter Beijing until the beginning of night, and did not arrive at Suiyuan until it was dark in the evening...... Nature for a reason.

Xu Wei looked at the two letters...... One is a familiar handwriting, Qian Yuan sketched with a quill pen dipped in ink, this method was despised by Emperor Jiajing several times, and the other is a secret letter, with only a series of Western numbers on it.

When Qian Yuan entered Beijing last year, he had already informed Xu Wei of this secret letter transmission method, and he had used it several times in the past six months, and Xu Wei was no stranger to it.

But the moment he opened the secret letter, Xu Wei only felt dizzy...... No wonder you choose to go to Beijing at night to deliver the letter, this is to give yourself time to translate the letter, Xu Wei roughly calculated, translated at least a thousand words.

The oil lamp in the study was cold for a long, long time this night, Xu Wei gritted his teeth and persevered, God is pitiful, he is not a natural night owl like Qian Yuan.

"Knock...... Boom! Boom! ”

Faintly heard a long and two short bangzi sounds, Xu Wei pushed open the door and strolled out, followed by a long tune, "Three watches, safe and sound." ”

Looking up at the bright starry sky and the crescent moon looming in the clouds, Xu Wei couldn't help but shake his head, that best friend was as eye-catching as this starry sky, not to mention the moon looming, even if there were no clouds, it would be difficult to steal his light.

In Xu Wei's view, Qian Yuan's personality and methods are very polarized.

Sometimes they are scheming and good at layout...... In his own words, it is digging a pit, in the matter of selecting a Japanese speaker for King Yu, Xu Jie suffered a big loss from Qian Yuan, and it has been more than a year, and so far Zhang Juzheng has not officially shown his face in front of King Yu.

But sometimes it's straightforward and doesn't seem to think about the consequences...... In the face of the provocation of Xu Fan, the eldest son of the second assistant of the cabinet, he did not hesitate to retaliate with the most drastic means, but in fact, Qian Yuan had a plan.

Of course, the matter of beating Xu Fan's face full of flowers...... Qian Yuan is also very aggrieved, who wants to be Weng's son-in-law in the end?

Sometimes he is good at forbearance, the year before last Qian Yuan entered Beijing, the Manchu Dynasty knew Li Mo Li Shiyan's attitude towards him, but Qian Yuan couldn't bear it, and was indifferent to Li Mo's provocation several times, and even Li Mo interfered more with the election of Suiyuan scholars and did not make a move, until Li Mo collapsed.

But sometimes he likes to seize the initiative in his hands, which is fully reflected in Qian Yuan's two southward trips.

The first time he went south, although Hu Zongxian gave him preferential treatment, he was indecisive when making decisions, so that Jiaxing and Huzhou were eroded, and Qian Yuan personally led the army to help stabilize the overall situation.

The second time to the south, with the name of Qian Yuan no longer forbearance, almost only hand drawn out the overall strategic situation, hooked up with the southeast armies to win their military hearts, aid Shanyin with nearly two thousand Japanese heads sacrificed, this time outside Shangyu City just spread the flag to repel the Japanese invaders, he was full of brilliance He will be the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian, bleak.

There are some things that Qian Yuan refuses to retreat, such as two years ago, he tactfully supported Hu Ruzhen's promotion to the governor of Zhejiang in front of Emperor Jiajing, such as this time......

Xu Wei sighed, although he had only been in the shogunate of Hu Zongxian for less than half a year, more than half of which was spent leading the army thousands of miles to pursue the Japanese invaders, and the remaining half was mostly spent on scientific research and recuperation, but he still had a clear understanding of Hu Zongxian.

Xu Wei agreed with half of Qian Yuan's judgment of Hu Zongxian, this person is narrow, but he is not a great achievement.

It is precisely because of the narrow amount that Hu Zongxian, who knows his weight in the Shangyu victory, is so eager to go to war and defeat Wang Zhi to prove himself.

To some extent, it was Qian Yuan's blooming light that made Hu Zongxian make such a choice.

After thinking back and forth in his heart, Xu Wei had to admire Qian Yuan's courage and planning, it should not be an overnight preparation.

Qi Jimei and Lu Bin were actually supported by Qian Yuan, both of them bowed down to Qian Yuan, the former and Qian Yuan fought side by side in Jiading, Chongde, Changshui Town, and Tongxiang four times, and the latter was Qian Yuan's follower at all, and most of the generals under his command were born as guards of the Qian family.

And the relationship between Qi Jiguang and Qian Yuan is too deep, a guerrilla transferred from another province, without much military exploits, was able to train the new army, promoted to Ning Shaotai general, only two or three small victories, although last year won consecutive battles, but after all, Taizhou is not [5200] the main battlefield, and actually jumped to the deputy general army of Zhejiang...... Behind all this is the shadow of Qian Yuan.

In addition, Tan Lun, who personally led the Taizhou Army, is Qian Yuan's brother-in-law...... Among the armies that came out of the southeast, only Yu Dayou, Dong Bangzheng, and Wang Chonggu were the only ones.

However, although Hu Zongxian was the governor of Zhejiang, he did not have direct command of Su Song's troops, and Dong Bangzheng had been holding Songjiang for many years and was also an old friend of Qian Yuan.

And Yu Dayou is well-known for planning and fighting, and he is not sure that he will never fight, so he was reprimanded and even impeached by Tu Dashan, Zhang Jing, and Li Tianzhong that year.

Xu Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly, Qian Yuan almost single-handedly controlled most of the southeast war situation, took all the initiative into his arms, and even made Hu Zongxian unavailable, how not to make Hu Zongxian angry.

You Qian Zhancai is the governor of Zhejiang, and Hu Ruzhen is the governor of Zhejiang...... It's a good match.

Pacing around the thick tree surrounded by the two, Xu Wei calculated in his heart, it was okay or even necessary to appease Wang Zhi, Hu Zongxian couldn't stop it, and he didn't dare to tear his face with Zhancai, but it was forbidden to open the sea...... It's better not to mention it, and we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

……

In such a late night, the capital has always been subject to curfew, Zhang Juzheng took the waist card to show it to the patrol soldiers, and took two servants to the west.

At the corner, Zhang Juzheng suddenly stopped, turned his head with complicated eyes, and walked dozens of steps along the road, which was the side gate of Suiyuan.

The young man who didn't have a beard back then really shined as he expected, but he was able to become famous in just a few years, and even was determined to be famous in history, which still surprised Zhang Juzheng...... In addition to surprise, there is also a taste of indescribability.

A little sour.

It is impossible not to be sour, counting one jiazi forward, there has never been such a masterpiece, the weak crown of the high school jinshi, Jane is in the emperor's heart, has repeatedly made great contributions, and is famous all over the world.

Although the current Zhang Juzheng is under the Xu Jiemen, he is only an insignificant Hanlin official, with no position and no power......

It's hot and humid during the day, but I feel a biting chill in the middle of the night...... Zhang Juzheng gathered his shirt and continued to walk forward silently, he had just come out of the Xu Mansion.

Sultry?

Chill?

It's not the temperature, but the two emotions that converge in Zhang Juzheng's mind, sometimes making him indignant, sometimes calming him down.

In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, on the day Zhang Juzheng and Qian Yuan reunited, he faintly felt Qian Yuan's disdain for Xu Jie...... There is no need to be faint, Xu Fan is said to have been smoked by Xu Jie with rattan that night.

After Qian Yuan became Xu Jie's grandson-in-law, Zhang Juzheng, who was hiding in the corner, saw that Qian Yuan's attitude towards Xu Jie's had not changed fundamentally...... All this has been confirmed many times.

Tonight, Zhang Juzheng had to approve of Qian Yuan's vision, although he was in the study of the Xu Mansion a quarter of an hour ago, he was respectful to that person, and kept claiming that he was a "teacher".

When Xu Jie's Shangyu victory was mentioned, Zhang Juzheng, who had a different trajectory from history and even almost landed in Ligang in person, talked about the changes brought by maritime trade to the financial endowment of the DPRK and China in an excited and expectant tone.

But Xu Jie interrupted coldly and told him bluntly, Hu Ruzhen and Qian Zhancai won a great victory in the southeast, and the strict party is as solid as a rock, when will it be able to set things right?

Zhang Juzheng was anxious to defend himself with a white face, Qian Zhancai was not a member of the strict party...... But Xu Jie's sinister gaze made him not continue.

Pushing open the door, his wife was still waiting, and quickly asked the maid to bring hot water, Zhang Juzheng reluctantly smiled and coped with a few words, and looked at the stove outside the door...... I still remember that it was the beginning of the 35th year of Jiajing, and Zhancai personally sent it to the door and taught his wife how to light a fire......

At that time, he often went in and out of Suiyuan, and laughed and rubbed with Zhancai, Xu Wei, Zhu Dashou and others...... Zhang Juzheng took the hot towel and rubbed his face vigorously.

Xu Jie's smiling words seemed to sound in his ears again, Zhang Juzheng left his wife boringly and went to the small study, and when Xu Wei gathered people's hearts intentionally or unintentionally, he deliberately withdrew from Suiyuan...... I don't regret it, I know what I want, in fact, I have the same goal as Zhancai......

Zhang Juzheng watched in a daze as the moth pounced on the oil lamp, and with a soft sound, the little moth fell weakly on the desk.

Zhu Dashou Ding is worried about filial piety, Xu Wei has been in Zhixi Garden all the year round, and this person is shrewd and abnormal, he is a mental figure in the garden when Zhancai is not in Beijing, and he must not be selected.

There are also Tao Dalin and Sun Yan in the Hanlin Academy, Sun Ling, Wu Dui, and Chen Younian in the six departments, and Xian Yan in the six departments.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Juzheng's eyes fell on the two names of Chen Younian and Tao Dalin.
