Chapter 68 A New Tenant Arrives

Hearing Zhong Nan's analysis and judgment, Liao Qing'er was even more dispossessed, "That's ...... So what should I do? I couldn't have watched my father beheaded. ”

Zhong Nan didn't want Liao Qing'er to be deceived by that despicable villain named Kang Dingfu, but he really had no way or strength to rescue Liao Chuanzhi at present, so he had to stabilize Liao Qing'er temporarily, "Don't worry, wait until I think of a way." ”

Liao Qing'er heard that Zhong Nan would find a way, and she was inexplicably calmed down. For some reason, she had a special sense of trust in Zhong Nan's words, and felt that the other party would definitely not deceive him.

Liao Qing'er is a child of the rivers and lakes, far more free and easy than ordinary women at that time, and now she has the backbone, so she no longer worries about rescuing her father. She joined the White Lotus Sect with her father since she was very young, and growing up in that environment, she would definitely not be the type of "beautiful girl". At this moment, Liao Qing'er returned to her normal personality and grinned.

"It always feels weird to call you Zhong Shilang, why don't you call you Brother Zhong? Or call you Brother Nan? ”

"It's all right, you can call whichever one you think is smooth!" Zhong Nan also doesn't like his peers to call him "Zhong Shilang".

"Haha...... Then I'll call you Brother Nan, because I found out that they all call you Brother Zhong, and I have to be different from them. Liao Qing'er clapped her hands, and then said with some smugness.

Zhong Nan thought about it for a while, and understood that the "they" Liao Qing'er said meant Qiu Xiang and Jiang Mo, but he didn't understand how Liao Qing'er would know.

"You're spying on me?"

"Who has time to spy on you, it's just that when I came over, I heard you talking." Liao Qinger argued.

Zhong Nan felt that it was the same, if someone was really monitoring him, it would not be done so closely, otherwise it would be impossible for Hu Huanshan and the others not to notice any movement.

"Be careful in the future and don't move around until they revoke your wanted warrant."

"Then where do I live, or do I live with you?" Liao Qinger was half joking and half serious.

"My house is small, I'm afraid you won't get used to it." Zhong Nam refused.

"Hmph, what kind of ginger girl, isn't she living well. I'm afraid that I'll implicate you, so you can say it clearly, why make any excuses! Liao Qing'er was very unhappy.

"I'm really afraid that you will be involved, so I will drive you away a long time ago." Zhong Nan argued.

"Since you're not afraid of being involved, what do you have here, I don't think there are still a few empty rooms in your backyard?" Liao Qing'er seems to be really planning to live in the Zhong Mansion, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to find out if there is an empty room in the backyard.

"If you really want to live here, go and talk to my lady, as long as she agrees, I have no opinion." Zhong Nan thought of a good way, he believed that Liao Qing'er didn't have the courage to go to Qiu Xiang.

But Zhong Nan really underestimated the boldness of the women in the rivers and lakes, Liao Qing'er was not frightened by him, but was eager to try, "Go and go, your lady is not a tigress, you can't eat me!" As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhong Nan to speak, he went to Qiu Xiang.

It wasn't until the door of the room was closed again that Zhong Nan reacted, and wanted to chase out to stop the other party, but it was too late, so he had to give up.

Not long after, Qiu Xiang and Liao Qing'er held hands and came to Zhong Nan.

"Brother Zhong, since Sister Qing'er wants to live in Zhong's Mansion and there is an empty room in our backyard, let her choose one to live in. You tell me? ”

"But she can't show her face now, if she is discovered by the officers and soldiers, it will be a * annoyance!"

"I just try to go out as little as possible. What's more, even if I want to go out, I will go out again easily, and I won't be discovered. It seems that Liao Qing'er is determined to stay in the Zhong Mansion and has already considered various issues.

"Brother Zhong, I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Qiu Xiang stood on Liao Qing'er's side.

Zhong Nan couldn't understand how Liao Qing'er persuaded Qiu Xiang, in just over ten minutes, she actually let Qiu Xiang and her unify the front, isn't Qiu Xiang afraid of "luring wolves into the room"? He threw a puzzled look at Qiu Xiang, but when he saw the other party smiling, he seemed to have an idea a long time ago. Since this is the case, Zhong Nan will no longer stop it, as long as he can hide the officers and soldiers, the rest will be left to them.

At dinnertime, a new pair of dishes and chopsticks was added to the table of Zhongfu. This reminded Zhong Nan of a small white text he once watched, in which the male protagonist rented out his mansion to many women, including policemen, nurses, and teachers, and finally all these women were accepted into the harem by him. Although he abandoned the book before reading it, Zhong Nan found that his current situation was very similar to the situation in that book.

Did you go to the peach blossom luck? Zhong Nan didn't believe it, he felt that he shouldn't have that charm, he would be thirty years old soon, he was no longer a young man in ancient times, not to mention that he was not a talented white-faced literati, just a martial artist who left many scars on the battlefield.

There are very contradictions in Zhong Nan's personality, sometimes he is very confident, and sometimes he tries to deny himself. Even after traveling to the Ming Dynasty, these character traits still exist, and they have not been corrected or changed in the time and space tunnel. However, Zhong Nan thinks this is very good, this is his original self, although his personality is not perfect, he is the real him.

In the following days, Zhong Nan found that his life was not much different from before, except that he could sleep a little more than one or two hours a day, and there was not much difference.

Of course, there are some small changes, that is, the backyard is more popular, and even the fish in the pool seem to be more cheerful. In front of Zhong Nan, three different types of beautiful women will float in turn every day, either calm and atmospheric, or hot and straightforward, or reasonable and lovely, so that he also feels the breath of summer.

On May 18, the vacancy in the cabinet was finally filled by Zhu Yijun, but the two new cabinet members were not the previous popular candidates, which surprised the officials of the Beijing Division.

Shen Zhengyi, whose name is Longjiang, is a native of Zhejiang, and is the nephew of the famous poet Shen Mingchen at that time. Shen Mingchen is one of the "three grassroots poets" in the Wanli period, with high literary attainments, and even Shen has always been full of poetry and books, quite talented. He is one of the two people who joined the cabinet this time.

Shen has always been a jinshi in the Longqing period, but his results are relatively low, he is the thirty-sixth in the second class, and he is not young (thirty-eight years old) when he is a middle jinshi, so the starting point is not high. Since the second year of Wanli, he has served in the Hanlin Academy, successively serving as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, the Japanese lecturer and the banquet lecturer, because of the bad relationship with Zhang Juzheng, he has not been reused.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, Shen has always been reappointed as Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zhongyun and the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and successively served as a bachelor in waiting, a right attendant in the right Chunfang, a waiter in the left of the Ministry and a bachelor in waiting, and a guest of the prince. Later, he was promoted to the post of Junior Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

A year earlier, the emperor had appointed Shen Cheng as the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and soon after he had made him vice president of the official history and assistant to Zhan Shifu, but for some reason, Shen had never been there. This time, Zhu Yijun even gave him the status of a scholar of Dongge University, and asked him to go to Beijing immediately to take up his post, I believe that Shen has always not let go of such a great opportunity, after all, the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing are not the same.

Another newcomer to the cabinet is Shen Li.

Shen Li, the word Zhonghua, is a native of Henan Guide, so many people call him Shen Guide. Shen Li was a jinshi in the Jiajing period, and Gao Gong, a university scholar, was still his chief examiner and fellow countryman, but Shen Li was a bright and upright person, and his promotion was all based on his real ability.

Shen Li has gone through the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli dynasties, and is a rare veteran of the three dynasties, and he has a lot of prestige between the government and the opposition. When Zhu Yijun was still the prince, Shen Li was his teacher, and he once did the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but later because he was upright and did not know how to be flexible, he was attacked by his colleagues in the DPRK and China, and in a fit of anger, he resigned and returned to his hometown in Henan.

After Shen Li returned to his hometown, he was not at home, but wrote to Emperor Wanli to ask for his life for the people. The first is to repair the embankment of the ancient Yellow River, and the second is to build a watershed area for the ancient Yellow River, so that when the flood season comes, the surging river water can be diverted out, which is a section of the Yellow River embankment called "Shen Dike" by the local people of Guidefu.

It is said that the name "Shen Dike" was due to the fact that this section of the embankment was completed thanks to the financing of Shen Li and his brothers. Everyone knows that building a causeway doesn't happen overnight. This section of the embankment in Guide Province is more than 100 kilometers long, with a height of more than 10 meters, and the width of the bottom of the embankment is nearly 100 meters, and it took 14 years to build.

During this period, the funds allocated by the imperial court were suspended for a while, and then the supply was simply cut off, and it was Shen Li who insisted on repairing the causeway, and provided it free of charge without funds. This alone made Zhong Nan admire.

"Er Shen" entered the cabinet at the same time, so that the incomplete cabinet was full of combat effectiveness again, and Wang Jiaping and Zhao Zhigao did not have to be busy every day and could not finish their work.

However, when he heard this cabinet list, Zhong Nan had a bad premonition in his heart - because Shen has always heard the name of this person, he has heard it in the original time and space, but it is not a good reputation.

The "Zhejiang Party" led by Shen and the "Eunuch Party" and the "Donglin Party" of the eunuchs were tilted against each other, which led to the rapid decline of the Ming Dynasty. If history still follows this line, then Shen Yiyi and his "Zhejiang Party" will soon stand in the center of the stage.

These people must not be allowed to succeed! Zhong Nan shouted in his heart.

……

In late May, the "Ershen" was put in place, and the cabinet was able to operate smoothly. However, as soon as the current cabinet opened, it encountered difficulties.

It turned out that since mid-to-late mid-to-late China, Zhu Yijun has refused to go to court. At first, the Manchu civil and military thought that the emperor was just putting on a show and putting pressure on everyone, as long as the cabinet reorganization was completed, Zhu Yijun would definitely reopen the early dynasty. It's just that the second day after "Er Shen" entered the cabinet was the morning day, and the eunuchs in the palace still sent a decree: the emperor was unwell and canceled the morning dynasty that day.

The ministers are angry, although this Ming Dynasty is your Zhu family's country, but we also participate in governance, can't you want to go to the early dynasty as soon as you want, and cancel it at will if you don't want to have an early dynasty, right?
