Chapter 232: Three Reasons
It was very surprising to Qian Yuan.
In the rumors, Yan Shifan, who is known as richer than the national treasury, does not look amazing, and he can't see any extravagance at all, and Yan Shifan himself has a bright eye, although his figure is not burly, but he is calm and measured, and he can't see any arrogance.
"It's too late to show your talents." Yan Shifan stretched out his hand and nodded at Qian Yuan, "I sent the post the day before yesterday, and today is coming, why?" ”
Qian Yuan glanced at the people behind Yan Shifan, and only recognized one Zhao Wenhua, and said with a smile: "Duke Meicun mentioned that Duke Donglou has a bad temper...... If there is no news from yesterday, how dare Qian come to the door? ”
"Hahaha!" Yan Shifan stroked his palms and laughed, "Your Majesty is not Cao Bangfu, can you still choose Wang He?" ”
"Nine out of nine may not be accurate, Qian is timid, which makes the East Building public smile."
"Tsk, Southeast Shilin praises Qian Zhan for having integrity, but I didn't expect to be so slippery and don't keep my hands!" Yan Shifan scolded with a smile.
The others didn't hear anything, but Zhao Wenhua heard the hidden wit between these words.
Yan Shifan said very clearly, you Qian Yuan offended Xu Jie, offended Li Mo, don't you stick it up and lean on?
And Qian Yuan also made it very clear that without the meeting gift of Hu Zongxian as the governor of Zhejiang, he really didn't have the courage to come to the door.
In just a few words, Qian Yuan skillfully met Yan Shifan's psychology, but did not leave any handle.
Zhao Wenhua interjected and smiled: "Zhancai's slip does not leave his hands, Zhao has already learned in Hangzhou, but he is just ...... Kidding me, when did you say that Brother Donglou had a bad temper! ”
"My temper is known to everyone in the capital." Yan Shifan rolled his eyes and made a gesture, "Please, today is a banquet for Zhancai." ”
Qian Yuan smiled and let everyone walk in front, Zhao Wenhua is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and those who can walk side by side with him should not be ordinary officials.
After the group sat down, Yan Shifan introduced them one by one, and there were three people besides Zhao Wenhua today.
The white face and the seemingly dignified is Dong Fen, Jiajing 20 years of Jinshi, Shu Jishi was born, and now he is the right Chunfang right Zhongyun and the Guozijian Division, which is the fastest and most orthodox Hanlin route in the Ming Dynasty.
The middle-aged scholar who laughed and laughed with Yan Shifan was Tang Ruji, the champion of Jiajing for 29 years, and now he is still in the Hanlin Academy, but his father Tang Long and Yan Song are old friends, Tang Ruji went in and out of Yan Mansion at will in his early years, and Yan Shifan called each other "world brothers".
Sitting at the bottom is Bai Qichang, with a smile on his fat round face and a smile all the time, a pair of eyes only the size of mung beans, which is really good material for comedies in later generations, this person is also a second-class jinshi in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, and he is favored because he welcomes Yan Shifan.
Qian Yuan saluted and greeted a few words one by one, and pondered in his heart, Zhao Wenhua is his old friend, and it is natural to appear on such an occasion, and the remaining three people are really interesting.
First of all, these three people are all orthodox jinshi backgrounds, and they are at least second-class jinshi, but the three of them play different roles in Yan Shifan's eyes.
If there is no accident, Dong Fen will soon be able to jump out of the official position of the Hanlin Academy in the sixth department, and become the core figure of the Yan Party, after all, Ouyang Bijin and Zhao Wenhua are not young, and they cannot be promoted.
Bai Qichang is obviously just a courtier, and now he is also holding an idle position, Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, with the lowest status, but he speaks the most, and his words are exquisite, which is a role with an active atmosphere.
The most surprising thing for Qian Yuan was Tang Ruji, generally speaking, it takes nine years to enter the Hanlin Academy before he can be promoted or part-time, but this person was able to give a lecture to King Yu in April this year by virtue of his relationship with Yan Song and Yan Shifan.
Tang Ruji may be the most proud person in the Hanlin Academy today, the champion is not unusual, the key is that he is really exquisite, because his father Tang Long and the first assistant of the cabinet Yan Song are good friends, when he served in the ministry, he repeatedly promoted the second assistant of the cabinet Xu Jie.
You must know that Tang Long has been dead for several years, and this rich political legacy naturally falls on Tang Ruji's head, and now he is also serving as a lecturer to King Yu, although he is not yet a lecturer in King Yu's Mansion, but he will also be regarded as a person in the palace in the future.
After tidying up in his heart in his spare time, Qian Yuan couldn't help but feel deep envy and jealousy, if he had such a start, he was afraid that he would have driven Gao Gong out of Yuwang's Mansion a long time ago!
No matter how Yan Song and Yan Shifan caused trouble, one thing is certain, they are by no means fools, how could they not consider Emperor Jiajing's death...... Tang Ruji is likely to be the person they picked.
Well, this is really the case in history, but it's a pity that Yan Song didn't take it into account, and after swallowing his anger for so many years, the resentment in the heart of Xu Jie, who was still smiling after he became a servant, was so heavy.
Under the command of Xu Jie, all officials who had a relationship with Yan Song were all taken down, and Hu Zongxian lasted for a few days, and Tang Ruji was dismissed and cut off before Yan Shifan's death, and finally got out of the way.
"Come on, come on, have another drink." Yan Shifan saw that Qian Yuan was a little uneasy, and said with a smile: "Zhancai, can you still drink?" ”
Qian Yuan simply tilted his neck sharply, drank a full glass of wine, and Bai Qichang on the side applauded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, let's drink less." Yan Shifan laughed and pointed at Qian Yuan, "My cheeks are slightly red, and I am drunk." ”
Qian Yuan arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Donglou's storage of fine wine is really too mellow, and it is not strong enough to drink. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a small bite." Yan Shifan snorted and began to ask about the southeast.
Qian Yuan had an extremely strange feeling in his heart.
First of all, Yan Shifan, who is known as a wealthy man, is not extravagant, although the wine utensils, tea sets, and ornaments are also exquisite, they are far less than what Qian Yuan saw in the first Xiang family in Jiaxing a few years ago.
Secondly, Qian Yuan remembered very well that in history, Yan Shifan once forcibly poured liquor from petty officials, and was forced to drink by Jinyiwei through Shen Lianqiang, which was a small story recorded in the annals of history, but now it is very casual, and a few people on the side did not look surprised.
However, now Qian Yuan doesn't dare to believe in Ming Shi anymore, God knows how true it is...... From a logical point of view, Yan Shifan was forcibly drunk by Shen Lian to form a grudge, and then Shen Lian was impeached, and Yan Shifan demoted Shen Lian to the outside of the gate, uh, it is very logical.
What surprised Qian Yuan the most was that Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Li Mo didn't care about the high-ranking powers, but Yan Shifan was very concerned about the situation in the southeast, and such a contrast made Qian Yuan feel displaced.
Yan Shifan is most concerned about two people, one is Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, and the other is Wu Baipeng, the governor of Zhejiang.
Qian Yuan is very familiar with the abilities and personalities of these two people, such as a few family treasures, Zhao Wenhua on the side listened carefully, and added a few words from time to time.
Yan Shifan listened quite attentively, which was different from what Zhao Wenhua had said before, but most of the differences were from an objective standpoint.
Qian Yuan didn't panic at all, you must know that although the Ming Dynasty was the dynasty with the most prominent spy rule in history, it may also be the dynasty with the worst sense of secrecy in history.
There are three reasons why Qian Yuan postponed his appointment, the first is to wait for the new governor of Zhejiang to be released, and the second is to contact Zhao Wenhua privately to ensure that the caliber is consistent.
Of course, Yan Shifan couldn't hear much of a difference.
After talking for a while, Qian Yuan concluded: "Hu Ruzhen is indeed a commander, Wu Weixi has a great victory in Yangzhou, he is calm and generous, and he must cooperate tacitly." ”
Yan Shifan glanced at Qian Yuan and said with a smile: "It is rumored that Wu Baipeng and Zhancai have a relationship? ”
"The news has spread throughout the Southeast." Zhao Wenhua interjected: "The two were engaged in Suzhou, when the wolf soldiers of Tianzhou were trapped in Suzhou Mansion, Wu Baipeng galloped to discuss, and it happened that Zhancai sent his family to Hangzhou and returned to Songjiang Mansion via Suzhou......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Wenhua's words came to an abrupt end, and if he went on, he would have to talk about Nie Bao.
Qian Yuan looked at Yan Shifan calmly and said with a smile: "Qian is so popular, except for those who are not long-sighted, there are few enemies. ”
Yan Shifan smiled dumbly, yes, yes, you are popular, Xu Fan had to vomit three liters of blood when he heard this.
Removed the banquet, the six of them gathered around the table to drink tea and chat, Qian Yuan really didn't want to talk about the southeast anymore, and he was afraid that Yan Shifan would talk about the political struggle between the DPRK and China, so he beckoned people to bring something specially made.
This is the third reason why Qian Yuan postponed his appointment.
"Boom la la ......"
More than 100 small squares fell on the table, Qian Yuan didn't look at it, reached out and touched it, snapped it on the table and shouted: "Four!" ”
