"In Shuangyu Port, there are not only Francous people, but also Japanese coles. The reason why the two are safe and sound is because the power of the Franco-robot is even stronger. ”

Xu Yan paused for a moment, and then continued: "This balance is actually very ingenious, it's okay on weekdays, but it's not easy to say if it's wartime." ”

Zhu Jun stroked his beard and said with a smile; "Xu Xiaoyou means to spread rumors and make them suspicious of each other?"

Xu Yan praised: "The Lord of the Ministry Hall is wise. The Shimayi Wako and the Franc Pirates are so close that they only need to add a fire to make them suspicious of each other and even join each other. ”

Of course, this premise is that the Ming army is pressed and given enough pressure.

"That's a good idea."

Zhu Yan was very satisfied with Xu Yan's suggestion.

Xu Yan saw that Zhu Kun was in a good mood, so he recited:

"Xiaozhu temporarily sits down, and there is an old alliance when you are worried.

Calling the bottle to greet the guests, waving the bow to sit and talk.

The cloud guard toothpick is full, and the star contains a sword.

I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope the sea is flat. ”

Zhu Kun knew that Xu Yan had a talent for poetry, and when he saw him suddenly chanting poetry, he praised it: "Xu Xiaoyou's poem is good." ”

Xu Yan hurriedly said: "Lord Ministry, this poem was not written in his later life. ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Kun was a little surprised.

"This poem was written by Qi Jiguang, the commander of Dengzhou Wei."

Xu Yan said without hesitation.

"Qi Jiguang?"

Zhu Kun obviously hadn't heard of this name, and his face was very puzzled.

This is not surprising either. At this time, Qi Jiguang was just a hairy boy who had just inherited his ancestor's position, and he was not famous at all.

"Lord Qiqi Ministry, this person is a native of Dengzhou, Shandong, Jiajing 23 years to take the ancestral position, this poem was written in Jiajing 25 years."

"Oh? Xu Xiaoyou also has a relationship with this Qi Jiguang? ”

Zhu Kun asked with interest.

Xu Yan knew that he would ask this, and he had already thought of his words.

"If you return to the Ministry of Justice, you once went to Dengzhou to study in your later life, and you have a relationship with this Qi Jiguang."

The original Xu Yan really liked to study tours, and in the name of increasing knowledge, it was actually a tour of the mountains and rivers.

He did go to Dengzhou, but he probably hadn't seen Qi Jiguang.

However, this kind of thing can't be verified at all, in other words, even if Xu Yan really saw Qi Jiguang, he was one of the many people who participated in the banquet, and Qi Jiguang might not remember it.

Hearing that Xu Yan and Qi Jiguang did not have any friendship, Zhu Su was a little curious: "Xu Xiaoyou has no deep friendship with this Qi Jiguang, why did he recommend him?" ”

Xu Yanxin said, I can't say that I know that he will become a generation of anti-Japanese generals in the future.

It's hard, it's really hard!

"Lord Qiqi Ministry, just rely on his sentence 'It is not my intention to seal the marquis, but I hope that Hai Boping will be peaceful'."

Xu Yan actually has some truth in saying this.

The reason why he stood out among the crowd at the banquet and left a deep impression on Zhu Kun was because he chanted a poem.

And the poem he wrote is actually very similar to Qi Jiguang's poem, both of which express the desire to serve the country and calm the coastal defense.

In other words, Xu Yan can say that he sees his confidant and sympathizes with him.

Logically, this is a logical explanation.

Sure enough, Zhu Kun bowed his head slightly when he saw him say this: "Heroes know heroes, Xu Xiaoyou is going to be virtuous for the country." ”

In fact, Xu Yan also mentioned Qi Jiguang to Zhu Kun with the mentality of giving it a try.

After all, Qi Jiguang first stepped onto an important historical stage in the 32nd year of Jiajing, and after being recommended by Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang entered the bureau to command the affairs. Manage the 25 guards of the three battalions of Dengzhou, Wendeng, and Jimo to defend against the Japanese along the coast of Shandong.

Two years later, Qi Jiguang, who had some experience, was transferred to Zhejiang to serve as the secretary of the capital and served as a general to defend Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Taizhou.

Now Xu Yan recommends Qi Jiguang, which is a bit of a meaning for him to skip a grade.

In fact, with Zhu Kun's status and status, it is very simple to ask Emperor Jiajing for someone.

After all, Zhang Juzheng, who was in the thirty-second year of Jiajing, could do it, and at that time Zhang Juzheng was just an idle official in the Hanlin Academy.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Kun shook his head.

But the official could not recommend him. This Qi Jiguang is the commander of Dengzhou Wei and a military attaché. And this official is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, if he recommends a military attaché, I am afraid it will be easy to give someone a handle. ”

As soon as Zhu Yan's words fell, Xu Yan suddenly realized.

Civil officials and military attaches are actually two separate groups in Daming, and if there is an intersection between the two, it is actually quite troublesome.

Especially as soon as the matter of Xia Yan and Zeng Milling came out, it was even more sensitive for civilian officials to befriend military generals.

If Zhu Kun recommends Qi Jiguang at this time, he will definitely cause criticism.

The reason why Zhang Juzheng recommended Qi Jiguang but was safe was probably because Zhang Juzheng was just a Hanlin minister at that time, and he was not in a high position, so he would not arouse the suspicion of Emperor Jiajing.

Different people do the same thing, and the effect is completely different.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan was in a cold sweat. An inadvertent decision almost hurt Zhu Kun and himself.

There is really too much knowledge in the officialdom, or he owes it to consideration!

It seems that Qi Jiguang still has to wait a few more years before he has a chance to go out of the mountain!

After chatting with Zhu Yan for a while, Xu Yan took the initiative to retire.

It can be seen that Zhu Yan is indeed very busy, and he did not keep Xu Yan too much.

However, it was said that after Xu Yan left the governor's yamen, he went straight to Chen's mansion.

It's really unreasonable to come to Hangzhou and not go to my grandfather's house, not to mention that Xu Yan plans to hear the news of his future uncle from his grandfather.

Xu Yan has always been very arrogant, and coming to his grandfather's mansion is like returning to his own home.

When he came to the backyard, he saw his grandfather and uncle sitting by the pond, so he strode over.

When I got closer, I realized that there was another person in the pavilion.

This person is extremely burly, more than a head taller than Xu Yan, and his body size is even bigger.

What's even more strange is that the man is dressed in a Confucian robe, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist, just like a scholar.

Xu Yan was a little confused, so he asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, who is this?" ”

Old Man Chen squinted his eyes and smiled: "Good grandson, this is Hong Lu, the eldest son of the Hong family." ”

What?

Xu Yan was really taken aback.

Hong Luo?

That future uncle of his?

Why is this guy here, this is too unexpected, isn't it?

Xu Yan was completely unprepared, and he didn't know how to answer.

And the image of this future uncle is very different from what Xu Yan imagined.

Shouldn't Hong Yang be a personable son?

But although he was wearing a Confucian robe, he didn't feel that way at all...

Just looking at the figure, he looks like a muscular hunk...

"Ah, I've seen Gongzi Hong."

Xu Yan was stunned for a long time before he thought of bowing to Hong Yan.

"You are Xu Yan."

Hong Yan's voice was very distinctive, with a sense of pride in his stoutness, which made Xu Yan subconsciously swallow a mouthful of spit.
