Guards with knives and guns stood erected on both sides, the governor's yamen opened the middle door, and Hu Zongxian, who was slightly less in stature than before, strode out, followed by seven or eight officials and staff.

"Show your talents." Hu Zongxian walked down the steps, walked straight to Qian Yuan's side and stretched out his hand to support him, "You and I met in Weimo, why do you meet again with this ceremony?" ”

Qian Yuan could only cast a grateful look, after all, he is now the pillar of the southeast, the governor of Zhejiang, and most of the Jiangnan in his palm, even Yan Song and Yan Shifan are quite polite to him, and it is not a fact that Yan Shifan and Zhao Wenhua wantonly asked for bribes in the history books.

This is the southeast, not Kyoto, although Qian Yuan is in the heart of the emperor, although he is in and out of the Yuwang Mansion, he does not need to be afraid of Hu Zongxian, but he gets along like he did back then...... That's brain water.

At this time, a nasty ghost on the side interjected, "Three days ago, the governor inspected Shaoxing, and immediately returned to Hangzhou after hearing the news. ”

Qian Yuan could only bow and thank him again, and even choked in his throat, "Your Excellency the Governor is very kind......

Yang Wen and Wang Yi in the back glanced at each other...... Young master, in your own words, it's been acted!

If Qian Yuan could hear the thoughts of his subordinates, he would complain, why do you think I want to act like this!

Everyone has clearly put the score out, and the governor of Zhejiang, who is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the six provinces, returned to Hangzhou to give you a pick-up, don't you still be grateful?

Even if it is a small shop, this is also to give Hu Zongxian a step down, and sure enough, this guy laughed and pressed Qian Yuan's shoulder, "In terms of military strategy and military merit, you can afford to show your talents!" ”

After greeting each other at the door for a while, and after introducing each other, everyone entered the house for the first time, and the guy who interjected was Luo Longwen, who was really a nasty ghost.

Zheng Ruozeng, Wang Yin, Shen Mingchen, Mao Kun, and He Xinyin went out of the city to greet each other, on the one hand, because Hu Zongxian, and on the other hand, because three of them were old friends of Qian Yuan, which can also show that they are not interested in Luo Longwen.

On the other hand, Luo Longwen is very close to Hu Zongxian in the rank and ranks, which proves that the latter is quite tolerant of him.

Qian Yuan never asked Luo Longwen in front of Yan Shifan, but Zhao Wenhua said that this person entered Beijing in the 31st year of Jiajing, and was appointed as a Chinese calligrapher because of Yan Song's appreciation for calligraphy.

Now it seems that Luo Longwen should be the bridge of communication between Yan Song, Yan Shifan and Hu Zongxian.

It's ridiculous to think about it, Luo Longwen is a member of the Yan Party and a staff member of Hu Zongxian, a famous anti-Japanese minister, but in the end he was killed together with Yan Shifan because of the crime of collaborating with the Japanese.

The Governor's Mansion Qian Yuan had never been to before, covering a wide area, but it was not extravagant, and someone in Beijing had accused Hu Zongxian of withholding taxes for his own enjoyment, but Xu Wei said privately that Hu Zongxian was a powerful person, although he could not say that he was as honest as water, but he did not regard wealth as his life, and this Governor's Mansion did not even have gardens in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Hu Zongxian couldn't go out to greet him in person, but he was unscrupulous when he entered the mansion, held a feast for Qian Yuan, and even made his eldest son Hu Guiqi and second son Hu Songqi pour wine.

But on the main seat, Luo Longwen, who has no fame, no merit, and no fame, can only sit around the corner, he watched Qian Yuan raise a glass and greet everyone one by one, or cordial, or laughing and scolding, or sighing, I can't help but think in my heart, this guy's connections in the southeast are really not covered!

In addition to the few people who went out of the city to greet him and Lu Bin, there were also Zhong Nan, the leader of the wolf soil soldiers stationed in Hangzhou, Lu Bo, the deputy chief soldier of Zhejiang, Wu Baipeng, the deputy chief soldier of Wu Song, Dong Bangzheng, the deputy chief soldier of Wu Song, Wang Chonggu, the commander of the Suzhou army, and Tang Kekuan, the general of western Zhejiang, all of whom were the mainstays of the anti-Japanese war in the southeast.

Even among the staff, there is also a Huizhou man Guan Maoguang, who attacked Huizhou last year, and this person stepped forward and led the villagers to pursue Yang Wen until Wuhu.

Yu Dayou, the general of Wusong, who had the most contacts with Qian Yuan, and Qi Jiguang, the general of Ning Shaotai, could not come because of military affairs, but the former sent his teacher Li Liangqin, and the latter threw his younger brother Qi Jimei over.

In other words, when Qian Yuan went south, almost half of the southeastern officialdom cheered for him.

Luo Longwen secretly counted in his heart, counting the top figures, it was also due to the fact that Cao Bangfu, the governor of Zhejiang, Ruan He, the governor of Zhejiang, and Liu Xian, the general soldier of Zhejiang, did not send anyone to come, the first two were recommended by Li Mo, and it was reasonable not to come, the latter could hardly find any sense of existence in the southeast war situation, and it didn't matter if he came or not...... Well, in fact, Ruan He doesn't have much of a presence.

With such a big pomp, another person might tremble, but Qian Yuan was calm and calm, chatting and laughing with everyone without restraint.

Looking at the envious eyes cast by Lu Bin and Qi Jimei, Qian Yuan raised his glass and drank it all, there was really nothing to envy.

What happened last year has long been spread throughout the southeast officialdom, who doesn't know that Li Mo was powerful at that time, Yan Song and Xu Jie's heads were all shrunk, Li Mo wanted to kill the Yan Party, and the first foreign minister to take down was Hu Zongxian, who was the governor of Zhejiang at the time.

It was precisely because Qian Yuan was summoned to the capital that Cao Bangfu was rejected on the second day, and Hu Zongxian was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang on the third day, and the news that Qian Yuanjian was in the emperor's heart came out of Beijing.

This is obvious, it was Qian Yuan who tried to protect Hu Zongxian in front of His Majesty and put him on the throne of the governor of Zhejiang.

In the final analysis, Hu Zongxian's pomp and circumstance today is just to repay the interest of a favor.

"Zhan Cai entered the department a few months ago, and I knew that Zhan Cai went south ten days ago." The chief old man sitting on the left side of Hu Zongxian raised his glass and said: "A few years ago, Zhancai was famous in the southeast, and this time I hope that Zhancai will help one or two and exterminate the Japanese as soon as possible." ”

This old man is the only remaining Wen Zhengming of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, after the two wars of Qian Yuan Jiading and Chongde, Wen Zhengming praised Qian Yuan, and personally wrote the inscription for the Chongde road.

Although Wen Zhengming is too old to perform official duties, Hu Zongxian has personally visited him many times, and finally invited Wen Zhengming to come out of the mountain, not because of his ability, but because of his fame.

Qian Yuan didn't dare to slack off, attended the salute, raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "Hengshan Gong praised it, and the younger generation was terrified......

Listening to Qian Yuan's series of words that either dared not be, or praised the Wen family, Wang Yin shrugged his shoulders at Hu Zongxian above, and handed over an expression of "I knew it would be like this for a long time".

Speaking of Hu Zongxian, he is a bit similar to Qian Yuan in some aspects, both are pragmatists, sometimes they will not take the right path and find other shortcuts for the sake of their goals, they are all the same scheming and deep, they are typical realists, but Hu Zongxian's luck is not very good, he can only choose Yan Song.

Qian Yuan, who returned to the table, had a smile on his face, and Hu Songqi poured another glass of wine with a wine glass.

Qian Yuan raised his glass and said: "When I first returned to the southeast, I was wrongly loved by my predecessors, and the younger generations were grateful, so I thanked him with this wine, and also wished that in the near future, the Japanese will be wiped out, and it will be a peaceful world." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

Qian Yuan put down his wine glass, looked around, and looked at Hu Zongxian with a smile.

In fact, Qian Yuan was very surprised by the guests attending today, such as Zhong Nan, Lu Bo, and Wu Baipeng, who were still expected by Qian Yuan, but Wang Chonggu, Tang Kekuan and Qian Yuan were not too familiar, and Dong Bangzheng was stationed on Chongming Island...... This can't help but make Qian Yuan think more.

Is it necessary for a Hanlin Yuan Jishi who goes south to visit relatives?

Of course not.

Is it necessary for a new science and technology scholar who is in the heart of the emperor, marries with Xu Fu, and befriends Yan Shifan?

To be honest, this necessity is not high.

But in order to be able to enter and exit the Yuwang Mansion at will, it is obviously an important jinshi reserved for the next emperor, so it is necessary.

To be precise, Hu Zongxian needs Qian Yuan very much.

The so-called being prepared for danger in times of peace, Hu Zongxian is now in power, and it is inevitable to think of a way out in the dead of night, after all, Yan Song is old, and Yan Shifan has no possibility of entering the Great Jiuqing, let alone entering the cabinet.

Once Yan Song dies or becomes a leader, the disintegration of the Yan Party is inevitable, and at that time, what will Hu Zongxian do?

After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Zongxian could only choose two paths, one was Emperor Jiajing, and the other was King Yu.

But bypassing Yan Song and Yan Shifan to curry favor with Emperor Jiajing, thinking about it with his heels knows that this is taboo, so King Yu has become Hu Zongxian's only choice, and this choice cannot be shown.

The collusion between the feudal officials who led the army from other places and the emperor's eldest son was more taboo than bypassing Yan Song to befriend Emperor Jiajing, so Qian Yuan became Hu Zongxian's only choice.

But I'm sorry, Qian Yuan doesn't plan to wade into this troubled water.
