The backyard of the former Zhejiang governor's yamen, where the four governors of Zhu Kun, Wang Chen, Peng Di, and Tu Dashan have been sent away in succession.

Among them, only Wang Chen escaped from the crater by virtue of the victory in Ligang, and the other three, Peng Dian resigned and returned to his hometown, Zhu Yan committed suicide in anger, and Tu Dashan was imprisoned and died.

Among the six governors of Zhejiang so far, excluding Wu Baipeng, who had just taken office, Hu Zongxian alone rose to the top, but even so, in the first few months when he was just promoted to governor of Zhejiang, he couldn't sleep all night.

"Qian Zhancai is this person, whether he is public or private." Hu Zongxian smiled and said to Zheng Ruozeng: "He has no relationship with Ruan Yingjian, scolds him for being incompetent, and has been friends with me Hu Ruzhen for several years, and scolds me immeasurably." ”

Looking at the worried He Xinyin, Hu Zongxian shook his head and said: "But Qian Zhancai is different from other clear streams, smooth and flexible, left and right, if not, why did Hu rush to Tongxiang that day?" ”

"Yuanfu will not fall in the court, and Huating will not do much......" Mao Kun said in a low voice: "It may not be ......"

"It must be him." Shen Mingchen asserted: "Although Zhancai is young, there is no omission in his words, since he mentioned it in front of Mr. Fushan...... The same is true in the presence of His Majesty......"

Zheng Ruozeng nodded in agreement, "I remember the letter from Beijing half a month ago, and the governor of Zhejiang was delayed for a long time...... At that time, Zhancai faced the saint in the apse, and when he came out, he immediately promoted Wu Weixi to be promoted to the governor of Zhejiang. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Mao Kun was silent, it could directly affect the court push of the governor of Zhejiang, and it was impossible for Emperor Jiajing not to ask Qian Yuan about the position of the governor of Zhejiang.

"Fortunately, Dong Weng hurried to Tongxiang that day......"

"Even if there is no such trip, Zhancai will go to Beijing." Zheng Ruozeng glanced at Wang Yin, and said in an accentuated tone: "At the end of the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Zhancai once said privately that those who are peaceful must be Jixi. ”

Jixi is Hu Zongxian's hometown.

The study was quiet, and Wang Yin, who was the first to follow Hu Zongxian, reviewed in his heart, from the earliest Zhao Wenhua, to Yan Song, and then to the current Qian Yuan...... It's really hard to say who Hu Zongxian borrowed more power.

Although he was scolded by Qian Yuanji, Hu Zongxian felt that the dust had settled in his heart, no matter what, this time he would be able to unify the troops and do what he wanted.

The previous governor of Zhejiang, Ruan Yi, and the general soldier Liu Xian were either timid or acting on their own, but now Wu Baipeng and Qian Yuan will always take into account the overall situation, plus the new army that is stepping up its training, Hu Zongxian has room to exert his strength.

It was already the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and many staff members gathered, naturally it was not just for Qian Yuan alone, the implementation of the promotion of the several governments was not effective, the population of Chongming was insufficient to rebuild, the production of ordnance consumed too much silver, and half of the salt tax on the two Huai had to be sent.

After some discussion, Shen Mingchen casually talked about the New Year's gift sent to Beijing, the big head must be Yan Song Yan Shifan, followed by Zhao Wenhua of the Ministry of Industry, Wu Peng of the Ministry of Officials, etc., Hu Zongxian is willing to spend money in this regard.

"By the way, arrange for someone to send a New Year's gift to Taizhou." Hu Zongxian instructed: "Don't give anything else, just silver." ”

Zheng Ruozeng and He Xinyin shook their heads and smiled bitterly, Qian Yuan's face of asking for money obviously left a deep impression on Hu Zongxian.

Shen Mingchen hesitated: "Dong Weng, is it necessary?" ”

Hu Zongxian nodded, "Didn't he say it...... Waiting for me in Taizhou. ”

Wu Baipeng, the governor of Zhejiang, was largely usurped by the governor of Zhejiang, and in this case, Hu Zongxian needed to maintain a general direction with Qian Yuan, the governor of Zhejiang, which required the two sides to sit down and discuss in detail.

Hu Zongxian thought for a moment and added, "Another fifty bird guns will be transferred...... I can't really fool around in the future. ”

Hu Zongxian yin Qian Yuan several times before, mainly because Qian Yuan did not have an official name, but after snatching the Zhejiang Patrol Press, the previous reason was that he couldn't take it.

"Zhan Cai has said it many times." He Xinyin saw the power of the bird gun with his own eyes outside Tongxiang County, "Now he is going to laugh." ”

But Qian Yuan, who had already returned to Taizhou, was smiling, and he simply wanted to find an excuse to hide out...... Mother Tan still lives in the backyard of the government and hasn't come home.

"Do you still want this kind of daughter-in-law?!" Tan's sharp voice sounded, "I sent a letter three days ago saying that she was going back, and she went out today regardless of dignity...... Get out ......."

As he spoke, Tan's tears fell, and Tan Lun and Qian Yuan's uncle and nephew on the side looked at each other speechlessly, this day couldn't go on.

"Fourth sister, Yuan'er just came back, let him rest first?" Tan Lun coughed twice, "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, why don't you go back first...... Let's discuss it slowly. ”

gave my nephew a look, hurry up and get people home, do you know how busy I, the prefect of Taizhou, am there a lot of things outside, and I have to take care of the fire in the backyard for you?

"Mother, don't worry, go back and your son will give her a good beating, how dare you ......" Qian Yuan helped Tan, "Rest and rest first, this time Your Majesty ordered his son to patrol Zhejiang, I am afraid that after the year, I will ......run all over Zhejiang."

Qian Yuan looked back at Tan Lun, just kidding, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are now on the tip of the needle, and they will get together at this time...... Uncle, are you afraid that something will happen?

Xiaomei and Huang also came over, and persuaded softly, Tan was iron-hearted, and went back after saying a cruel word, but he stopped just a few steps, turned around and said suspiciously: "Yuan'er, patrol Zhejiang...... The patrol seems to be the imperial history? ”

"Yes, Yuan'er changed from the Hanlin Academy to the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, and His Majesty appointed Zhejiang." Tan Lun said casually: "This incident caused an uproar in Beijing, the first time in decades. ”

Although the Tan family doesn't read and doesn't have a lot of knowledge, after all, he is from a family of eunuchs, and he knows very well what the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy represents, his eyes widened, and he grabbed Qian Yuan's sleeve, "What's the matter?!" ”

"Your Majesty has appointed it, and my son can't ...... it"

"Yuan'er has made many achievements in fighting the Japanese in the southeast over the years, and two months ago he turned the tide......

"Ahem, ahem!" Qian Yuan glanced at Tan Lun warningly, "There is a lot of money in the southeast, and there is a suspicion of corruption, Your Majesty ordered his son to investigate in detail, and he is going to start investigating from Taizhou." ”

"Check from Taizhou?" Tan Lun sneered, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Don't blame Governor Tan, I'm just acting on orders." Qian Yuan chuckled: "In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, the Governor's Mansion implemented the promotion method before Zhejiang, and the first choice was Taizhou Mansion, but to summarize the accounts, until October this year, the most silver consumption in Zhejiang is Hangzhou Mansion, followed by Taizhou Mansion. ”

Tan Lun glanced at his sister who gradually shifted his attention to the quarrel, and replied casually: "Qi Yuanjing recruits troops in Yiwu, recruits soldiers, and makes ordnance, most of which are supplied by the Taizhou Mansion. ”

"Perhaps." Qian Yuan arched his hand and said: "In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, during the tenure of Banzhou as the governor of Zhejiang, the Tan prefect asked the governor's yamen for orders to recruit troops into an army. ”

"The New Year is approaching, and Zhancai is in a hurry to go south, so he came for this." Tan Lun's face turned cold.

"If the prefect of Tan has a clear conscience......"

"Yuan'er!" Tan couldn't help but reprimand: "I don't even call my uncle, where is the humility of the upper and lower levels?!" ”

"Mother, isn't he also called Zhancai?"

Tan stared at his son's series of reprimands, Qian Yuan listened honestly, and Tan Lun waited boredly on the side, until Xiaomei and Huang persuaded Tan into the house.

Out of the backyard, Tan Lun immediately reprimanded in a low voice: "It's bold, mother, uncle, take your mother back tomorrow." ”

"Forget it, I haven't met Xiao Qi yet, and that Nizi is also tough." Qian Yuan yawned, "There are a lot of things going on outside, even if there is a fire in the backyard...... That's going to be put back as well. ”

"You have some ability, Wu Weixi was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, you grabbed a Zhejiang patrol, don't you stay in the Hanlin Courtyard honestly, what are you doing in the south?!"

"Uncle is well-informed." Qian Yuan sighed, "There are a lot of obstacles involved in this matter, and I have no choice but to do it, so let's talk about it...... If you don't go south, what will the second uncle do......"

"Second brother?"

After a pause, Qian Yuancai said in a low voice: "More than 1,000 officers and soldiers are facing the 3,000 Japanese robbers led by Xu Haiqin, how can the nephew have the ability to break the Japanese robbers...... The second uncle retreated first, and Hou Jigao led the Songjiang soldiers to cut off the Japanese invaders. ”

"What?!" Tan Lun's face was full of pain and hideousness, and he grabbed Qian Yuan's arm, "How about now?" ”

"I don't have to worry about my life, but my three fingers are cut off." Qian Yuan turned his head expressionlessly and said, "So, how can I not go south, how can I sit in the Hanlin Courtyard safely." ”

"But Shu Jishi changed the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, and you ...... in the future"

Qian Yuan looked up at the blue sky and took a deep breath, how many people in the court and the central princes really took the southeast chaos to heart, even people such as Yuan Wei, Li Chunfang, and Lu Guangzu were only worried about Xiangzi.

It seemed to be under the same sky, but here, Qian Yuan clearly felt a different air.
