Chapter 665: Worries (I)
"Three cups of tea are enough."
Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Xu Bixi, who was pouring tea, shook his hand, and looked at Mao Haifeng, who had already sat down, helplessly and funny.
"Father-in-law......"
Qian Rui coughed twice and looked up at the ceiling with a smile.
"You fool, don't go out yet!"
Mao Haifeng dragged his feet up, pointed at Xu Bixi angrily, and before he could speak, the latter put the tea tray on the table and said calmly: "My mouth is tight." ”
Qian Rui said with a smile: "It's not that the old shipowner doesn't trust Brother Mao, that is, as Brother Xu said, Brother Mao, you are a good hand at capturing the flag, but your mouth is too big and your ears are too long...... If you go out and inquire about such things, you will get into trouble if one is not good. ”
"Hear that?" Wang Zhi glared, and waited for Mao Haifeng to withdraw aggrievedly before he asked in a low voice: "Zhao Dazhou is really Xu Ge's old person?" Is Xu Ge Lao and Qian Longquan really incompatible? ”
"Actually, these two things are the same as each other." Qian Rui nodded at Xu Bixi Nunu, "Brother Xu should have checked." ”
Xu Bixi nodded and said, "It's really troublesome to check this, our identity...... If you ask, people are afraid to answer. ”
"Sensei, hurry up."
"Yes, father-in-law." Xu Bixi coughed twice, "In the end, I found the two clerks of Zhao Dazhou during his tenure, and then I used a lot of money to go to Nanjing to inquire, Zhao Dazhou is really Xu Ge's old person...... Well, in Nanjing, this is not a secret, and that amount of money is really unjustly spent. ”
Wang Zhi pondered, "That means that it was because of the incident at the beginning of the year that Qian Longquan soldiers surrounded the governor's yamen and fell out with Xu Ge Lao?" ”
"As we all know, Xu Ge Lao is second only to Yan Ge Lao in the court, and he is above 10,000 people under one person......"
"I'm afraid it's not." Qian Rui said slowly: "In the past half a month, with the recommendation of Brother Mao, Fang has met with the Zhao family of Cixi and the Zhang family of Yinxian County a few times. ”
After a pause, Qian Zheng explained: "Cixi Zhao Wenhua is the old righteous son of Yan Ge, and Zhang Shiche Jiajing of Yinxian County is the second year of Jinshi, and he is the same year as Xu Ge. ”
"A few years ago, Brother Xu got it back, Fang sorted it out from beginning to end, and asked people carefully, in the years of the southeast war, Wang Min was transferred back to Beijing after attacking Ligang, and Peng Di, Tu Dashan, and Yang Yi who took over were all Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, and they were all the same year of Xu Jie."
"But in fact, as early as the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Qian Longquan was friendly with Hu Ruzhen, who was the prefect of Hangzhou at the time, and Zhao Wenhua, who went south to supervise the war."
Xu Bixi nodded and said: "It is said that Zhao Wenhua was a frequent visitor to Hangzhou Food Garden at that time, and in the battle of Linping Mountain, it was Qian Yuan and Hu Ruzhen who persuaded Zhao Wenhua to fight. ”
"In the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing, Qian Longquan was on the emperor's list and elected a scholar, but he went south twice, the first time was to visit relatives, and the second time was to patrol Zhejiang with imperial history." Qian Rui smiled meaningfully, "He is Xu Huating's grandson-in-law, but look at the people who are good friends with him, Wu Weixi, Tan Zili, Tang Jingchuan, and Mei Shoude, all of whom have no roots in the court. ”
Wang Zhi didn't understand for a while, but Xu Bixi reacted, "What does Mr. mean, Qian Longquan has already had a gap with Xu Ge?" ”
"Fang has been thinking about it for a long time, maybe it is true." Qian Rui explained: "This dynasty has always been small to control the big, check and balance each other, Hu Ruzhen attached Yan Dang as the governor of Zhejiang, logically speaking, the governor of Zhejiang should be Xu Ge's old person, but Wu Weixi is by no means a subordinate of Huating. ”
Wang Zhi looked at Qian Rui in a daze, and suddenly said, "In other words, Qian Longquan is actually biased towards Yan Ge Lao?" ”
Qian Rui smiled and pointed at Xu Bixi, "Since Hu Ruzhen was transferred to the governor of Fujian and Jiangxi, some things are not secret...... Brother Xu's inquiry was clear. ”
It's not easy, Qian Rui and his son discussed for a long time, and found a few opportunities to separate the truth, and leaked it to Xu Bixi little by little.
"Hu Ruzhen, that bastard!" Xu Bixi pulled his face and scolded a few words of Huizhou dialect before saying: "Xu Hai's army was defeated in Shangyu, and Hu Ruzhen wanted to lure his father-in-law to lead his troops to land and annihilate him in one fell swoop...... Speaking of which, I really want to thank Mr., if it wasn't for Mr. who proposed to go to Zhoushan, I'm afraid that ......"
"No, it won't." Qian Rui interrupted: "What kind of person the old ship owner is, even if there is no proposal from Fang, he will not be in Hu Ruzhen's house. ”
Wang Zhi's face was a little pale, recalling that day Ligang was appeased, and he landed in Zhenhai County on the second day, Hu Ruzhen talked and laughed, and couldn't help but feel a chill.
Lifting the teapot to pour tea for Qian Rui, Wang Zhi swallowed his saliva, "Since you intend to appease, why do you want to kill the old man?" ”
"It's a bit unbelievable to say this, Fang Mou heard Cixi Zhao mention it, and later corresponded to the news inquired by Brother Xu, and then asked about last year's events in detail." Qian Rui said softly: "After the victory in Shangyu last year, Qi Jiguang, who was then the deputy commander-in-chief of Zhejiang, suddenly led the army back to Ningbo, and Qi Jimei returned to Taizhou with Qian Longquan......"
Qian Rui said more vaguely, Xu Bixi interrupted and said bluntly: "Qian Longquan is bent on opening the sea and prohibiting trade, and Hu Ruzhen is not allowed to go to war." ”
"But...... But he is the governor of Zhejiang......"
"It is rumored in the southeast that Qi Jiguang once studied the art of war with Qian Longquan, Qi Jimei, Lu Bin, and Hou Jigao were all brought out by Qian Longquan, and Yu Dayou, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, is also his close friend, and Tan Zili, the prefect of Taizhou, is his in-law." Xu Bixi sighed: "Speaking of the official residence of the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian is quite miserable. ”
Qian Rui smiled and said: "Therefore, Qian Longquan is definitely not Yan Song's party. ”
Wang Zhi's spirits perked up, "From this point of view, it should be true that he claims that Jane is in the emperor's heart?" ”
Uncle doesn't love grandma or grandma, neither Xu Jie's nor Yan Song's people, so it has to be a bit of a battle, right?
Xu Bixi sneered: "Does my father-in-law remember the Yuan family in Cixi? ”
"How?"
"Last year, he was strictly forbidden to go to sea to sell goods, and the Yuan family scolded Qian Longquan for being flattering, which was for Xingchen." Xu Bixi said with a smile: "But I heard that the reputation of the Yuan family is not much better." ”
Qian Rui curled his fingers and tapped on the table, "Qian Zhancai is a person who does have great courage, a big mind, and the ability to do things." ”
Xu Bixi asked curiously, "Why did Mr. suddenly say that?" ”
"In the early years of the dynasty, Taizu forbade the sea, and Qian Longquan wanted to set a precedent for this dynasty, and the sea was forbidden to trade, which was not only about the rebellion, but also about the southeast." Qian Rui said calmly: "Abandon Shu Jishi to go south to attack the Japanese, set up a city for trade, and have contacts all over the southeast, so that Hu Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, is tied up, such a great achievement, that is, he Qian Longquan is on the ladder of prosperity." ”
"I heard that there is a lot of impeachment between the DPRK and China?"
"Three hundred giant trees, sweet potatoes and artichokes, are enough to sweep them away." Qian Rui suddenly smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Brother Mao also has merit, but he has the ability, and he actually hooked up with a few officials in the government and found out a lot of news." ”
"Cats have a cat path, and rats have a mouse path." Wang Zhi said with a smile: "Besides, he is originally from Yin County, and many people in the government are transferred from Yin County." ”
"It's good to get him out, otherwise I'll have to boast about it again...... Even if he praised his merits, he had to beg his father-in-law to allow him to go to Nanjing. ”
"What are you going to Nanjing for?"
Xu Bixi blinked and didn't speak, and Qian Rui said lightly: "Nanjing has the Qinhuai River." ”
Wang Zhi snorted and scolded for nothing.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing." Qian Rui persuaded: "On the second day of February, if it weren't for Brother Mao's stay at a prostitute......"
Xu Bixi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Wang Zhiren smiled and said, "Sir, tell me what news he got from the government this time." ”
"It's not important news." Qian Rui said softly: "This year, Mongolia has gone south twice, Xuanda is tight, there is a famine in Liaodong, and the DPRK and China are not enough. ”
Wang Zhi nodded and said: "I also borrowed our fleet, and several times carried grain and rice and even soldiers to the south into Fujian. ”
"Such a great achievement, and it is simple in the emperor's heart, so it is naturally prosperous." Qian Rui said in an accentuated tone: "The matter of trade is not only the ladder of Qian Longquan's success, but also the foundation of his future.
Otherwise, why did he leave Yang Wen to garrison Zhenhai, and then transfer Hou Jigao to Ningbo, Sun Piyang left office, and transferred his friend Sun Wenhe to take over? ”
Glancing at Wang Zhi and then at Xu Bixi, Qian Rui concluded: "Zong and Xu Ge are not in agreement, and there is a gap between Xu Ge and Yan Ge, Qian Longquan is bent on opening the sea and banning trade, and now he has made frequent meritorious contributions, no matter what, he will persevere, otherwise he will not only have a worrying future in the future, but I am afraid that he will be convicted and imprisoned." ”
