Tian Wenjing smiled, his expression was a little dignified, Zhang Tingyu was ten years younger than him, and now he was already the left waiter of the Zhengsanpin Ministry and the academician of Hanlin, the future can be described as bright, the future is promising, and he must not be defeated here.

Nowadays, in the imperial court, the differences between Manchen and Hanchen are also getting bigger and bigger, especially the recent reuse of Hanchen has failed, which has also led to Kangxi's increasing distrust of Hanchen, so there is not much hope for Hanchen in this dynasty, but when it comes to the next dynasty, Hanchen will begin to consider exerting force, and Zhang Tingyu's role in this will be very crucial.

Therefore, among the current Hanchens, Tian Wenjing also helps if he can, and he naturally has a good heart for important ministers like Zhang Tingyu, so he reminded him.

Zhang Tingyu also knew that he had made a mistake, thanked him repeatedly, and then said with a wry smile: "I don't know what's going on recently, I often act in a trance, but I am easy to make these mistakes, and I ask Brother Yangon to mention more." ”

Tian Wenjing held his beard and said in a low voice: "Hengchen, what do you think of this war?" I heard people say that in the excerpt of Yue Dongmei, on the surface, he wanted to fight a decisive battle in Anqing, but in fact, he still wanted to stabilize the southeast and slowly try to do it. ”

"I've already seen all the excerpts, in order to guard Anqing, restrict the Fu Han army from entering the south of the Yangtze River east, and wait until the emperor's army arrives, and use 120,000 troops against less than 50,000 Fu Han troops, I think I have some certainty, and it can be regarded as a clever move at the moment."

Tian Wenjing pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Whether this battle is won or lost, it is impossible to change the current situation, and the imperial court wants to calm down Chu Rebellion in one battle, I'm afraid it's just a delusion." The chess eye of this game is still in the capital. ”

Zhang Tingyu felt that Tian Wenjing seemed to have something to say, and said strangely at the moment: "What does Brother Yangon mean, please give me advice." ”

Tian Wenjing smiled slightly, didn't speak, just uncovered the tea lid, dipped his fingers in water, and wrote the word "嫡" on the table, and after Zhang Tingyu read it, he stretched out his hand to wipe it off.

Zhang Tingyu's heart moved, for the current situation, he also knew in his heart, Kangxi once had a lot of external turmoil, and there were also a lot of internal worries, from the two abolished princes to the fall of the Eight Masters Party, the battle for succession has intensified, especially now that Kangxi is old, if something goes wrong on the battlefield, who will succeed to the throne at that time will become a big trouble.

For all this, Zhang Tingyu is not not not sensitive enough, it is really because he has been caught in the game for a period of time, but he can't introspect, and now that he has been mentioned by Tian Wenjing, an outsider, he has some thoughts in his heart, but he didn't speak, and the two fell into a long silence.

Seeing that Zhang Tingyu didn't want to express his position, Tian Wenjing couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he probably knew what the other party thought, that is, he had already obtained a high position at a young age, and it was better not to fight at this time, as long as he waited for the new emperor to ascend the throne, no matter what, he had a good share, but rashly participated in the matter of winning the heir, the risk was greater, but the benefit was not so high.

In fact, Tian Wenjing also has his own helplessness in his heart, seeing that he is almost the age of sixtieth year, he is just a bachelor from the fifth grade, if there is no opportunity, I am afraid that this life will stop here.

If it is a different person who can take the official position of a bachelor, I would feel comforted, but Tian Wenjing has great ambitions in his heart, and he is unwilling to end up being just a small five-grade official, so he made up his mind to participate in the battle for the heir, and to have a shocking overall situation, so as to achieve the goal of a complete turnover.

Tian Wenjing's years in the Hanlin Academy were not completely in vain, at least he was a very smart person, and he chose a candidate early, it was the unpopular Prince Yong.

After worshipping under Prince Yong, Tian Wenjing was a small attendant, naturally not as good as those governors and governors, and was valued by Prince Yong, but there was one point, Tian Wenjing was scheming and had strong work ability, so he was also written down by Prince Yong, and he was specially arranged into the pro-conquest army, and his purpose was naturally not pure.

Therefore, Tian Wenjing deliberately became friends with Zhang Tingyu, although the official positions of the two are very different, but they also have similar interests, and they also like to play chess to kill time on weekdays, so they don't care too much about these, and the two can be regarded as having a good conversation.

It's just that seeing that Zhang Tingyu has returned to his usual cautious appearance, Tian Wenjing had no choice but to continue to open his mouth to probe: "Hengchen, you also know the current situation, I am afraid that this battle will be fought all the time, if there is a collapse...... This successor is the key man...... You have to be careful!"

Zhang Tingyu frowned slightly, he was reluctant to participate in the matter of seizing the heir, but he must not offend people at will, otherwise if there is an accident in the future, he will be unlucky. It's just that it's a little too early to express his position at the moment, so he pretended to be a gesture and said: "Since Brother Yangon said this, he thinks that he has a plan in his heart, but I don't know if it's convenient to reveal one or two?" ”

Tian Wenjing is not such a person who looks forward and thinks backwards, he directly dipped his fingers in water and wrote a "four" on the table, which can be regarded as expressing his meaning nakedly, but in this way, there is no room for regret.

Zhang Tingyu glanced at it, then took the initiative to reach out and erase the words, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the world doesn't know about you Tian Yangon." It's just that the matter of the moment is done now, and what Brother Yangon said, I should keep it in mind. ”

Tian Wenjing heard Zhang Tingyu's statement, and he understood in his heart that the purpose of this line was achieved, as long as Zhang Tingyu knew this meaning, then it was enough, as for whether Zhang Tingyu bet on Prince Yong, it was not something that he Tian Wenjing could know, and his role was not to win over Zhang Tingyu, after all, the difference between the identities of the two was too far.

With such a temptation, the atmosphere of the two became slightly awkward, and then Tian Wenjing took the initiative to say goodbye and leave, Zhang Tingyu just got up to see him off, and then turned back to the inner house, silently thinking in his heart.

It is not surprising that Prince Yong wants to win him over, and the fourteenth elder brother is also trying to win him over, but Zhang Tingyu looks at the current situation, I am afraid that Prince Yong is more likely to take the throne, don't look at the fourteenth elder brother seems to be quite favored, but the current situation is different from the past, the Qing Dynasty is facing a major crisis, especially in terms of finance, it needs a capable prince to provoke this heavy responsibility.

At present, among the princes of the capital, only Prince Yong has been in office for many years, and he also knows a lot about the household department, and he acts vigorously and resolutely, so although Zhang Tingyu did not speak, he also acquiesced in his heart that Prince Yong could hold the throne, but this thought could not be revealed to Tian Wenjing, the reason is very simple, the other party is not enough.

He Zhang Tingyu is not yet fifty years old, he is a member of the third grade, and he is now a representative of Hanchen in the court, but he is not so gradually able to win over the past, the so-called strange goods can live, and it depends on what price he pays for the fourth child.

Zhang Tingyu thought silently, maybe after this battle, he could only show his true intentions when he returned to the capital, but he just looked at the snow outside the window and sighed softly.
