In the palace of the palace, Zheng Chenggong was standing quietly in front of the window at this time, looking at the branches with snow outside. Although the weather is as cold as in winter, and it is getting hotter day by day, the snow has not yet melted, and at the same time, the air in the city of Nanjing is becoming more and more anxious day by day.

"The military song should sing the big knife ring, and swear to destroy Hu Nu out of the jade pass. Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. ”

Zheng Chenggong again, when he whispered this poem on his lips, his expression was a little solemn, and there was always some displeasure in his eyebrows.

Since that day on the Qinhuai River, Gan Hui and others have washed the dust for Zhu Mingzhong, and he wrote this poem. In this Nanjing city, there is a sound of the Northern Expedition, and even those scholars who do not have much affection for it have also signed a joint letter, hoping to make the Northern Expedition as soon as possible.

"Northern Expedition ......"

With a slight lock in his brows, Zheng Chenggong said to himself in his heart.

"Wouldn't it be too hasty to go on the Northern Expedition now?"

Even standing behind Zheng Chenggong, Qian Qianyi, who was over eighty years old, still paid attention to his strange appearance as a student, and almost subconsciously contacted Zhu Mingzhong and the remarks in Nanjing. I saw him ask quietly:

"Lord Wang, are you still worried about the arguments between the scholars in various places these days?"

Qian Qianyi's question made Zheng Chenggong nod a little annoyed. Since the decision was made to open a township examination to win the hearts of the people, those scholars who have the qualifications for the township examination have flocked to Nanjing, in fact, it is said that it is a township examination, but rather a general examination, because the scholars from Jiangxi and Zhejiang also have to come to Nanjing to take the examination, not to take the examination in this province. This is for the selection of talents.

At present, the inns and restaurants in Nanjing are already full of scholars who have come to take the exam. Among them, of course, there are those who have been dismissed from their fame, and there are also old and young people who have entered the Qing Dynasty. Although it is inevitable that there are scholars who only read the books of sages and sages, there are also scholars who hold long swords and shout "drive out the Tartars".

But in the past two days, the situation has changed.

"Oh, this king has heard that this scholar is passing on the poem of Chengren."

"The military song should sing the big knife ring, and swear to destroy Hu Nu out of the jade pass. Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. Good poetry, good poetry, tragic and magnificent, it is rare in the world, Chengren makes poetry, it is indeed poetry like his person! ”

Qian Qianyi, who seemed to be amazed, suddenly changed his words again and exclaimed.

"As soon as this poem came out, the city of Nanjing was like thunder, and scholars from all over the world sang this poem." Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. "The tragedy is so strong, how can you not be moved by the scholars, and the scholars' arguments will naturally become more and more intense. Now the soldiers in this city are nothing more than two categories, one advocates consolidating Jiangnan, and the other advocates an immediate northern expedition. Those who consolidate Jiangnan have their own reasons for consolidating Jiangnan, and those who advocate the Northern Expedition also have their own reasons. ”

Qian Qianyi, who seemed worried, did not deliberately belittle that faction, not only did not belittle, but even analyzed the views of the two factions from a fair standpoint.

After all, Jiangnan is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, or it can consolidate Jiangnan and drive all the Qing captives out ......of the provinces south of the Yangtze River, so that not only can Jiangnan be endowed with wealth and people to help me in the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, but also get in touch with the imperial court and welcome the imperial court to return the capital to Nanjing."

When Qian Qianyi said that he advocated consolidating the Jiangnan viewpoint, he deliberately looked at Zheng Chenggong with his spare eyes, and observed that when he heard "welcoming the imperial court and returning the capital to Nanjing", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and he suddenly understood a lot in his heart. Although Zheng Chenggong is now known as the "King of Yanping", during the Northern Expedition, he set up the banner of "Recruiting Generals", and this title was given by Emperor Longwu, and most of his subordinates were called "national surnames", in other words, his loyalty only belonged to Emperor Longwu.

As for the Yongli ...... But it's just a perpetual calendar.

Qian Qianyi, who understood what Zheng Chenggong was thinking, then said.

"As for the Northern Expedition, there is indeed a reason to advocate the Northern Expedition, at present, the Qing chieftain led nearly 300,000 soldiers, gathered in Henan and Shandong, if my army gathers in Jiangbei and defeats the main force of the Qing Dynasty, at that time, not only Jiangbei can turn the crisis into safety, but also take advantage of the Northern Expedition to recover the Beijing Division, if the Beijing Division is restored, the world will be determined, so, my Ming Dynasty can not only prosper, but also restore my Ming Dynasty......

When mentioning the Northern Expedition, Qian Qianyi's words were very interesting, and he even specifically mentioned that "Jiangbei can turn danger into safety", although he did not specifically emphasize it, but Zheng Chenggong still heard other meanings from this sentence, almost subconsciously, and he contacted why scholars from all over Nanjing suddenly discussed the Northern Expedition and advocated the Northern Expedition.

Isn't it because of Zhu Mingzhong's poem?

"The military song should sing the big knife ring, and swear to destroy Hu Nu out of the jade pass. Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. ”

What a strategy!

Suddenly, Zheng Chenggong's heart swelled with a burst of unhappiness, although he admired the poem very much, he also appreciated the song "Loyal to the Country", and now, after savoring it, he realized that all this was just Zhu Mingzhong's strategy.

Whether it is this tragic poem or that song, what he is planning is nothing more than to force him to succeed in the Northern Expedition! Force him Zheng Chenggong to lead the troops north!

Whether Zhu Mingzhong advocated the Northern Expedition, Zheng Chenggong didn't know, but it was certain that Zhu Mingzhong needed the Zheng family army to go north, and he needed the Zheng family army to block the 300,000 Qing army for him!

This is Zhu Mingzhong's original intention!

What a Zhu Mingzhong, what a Zhu Chengren!

Almost instantly, Zheng Chenggong's face became ugly, to be honest, he didn't disapprove of the Northern Expedition, but the reason why he was disgusted, and even annoyed, was that others fooled him like a fool, which was the reason why he was annoyed.

At least for a moment, Zheng Chenggong even had the idea of killing. If it had been another general, he might have ordered someone to catch him and cut it down, but he quickly restrained the desire to kill in his heart.

After all, Zheng Chenggong knows very well that the loyal and righteous army is no longer a loyal battalion, even if it is a loyal battalion, the loyal battalion is also free from the Zheng family's army, this is not his scruples, his real scruples are Zhu Mingzhong's fame, after all, everyone in the world knows his fierce loyalty. Of course, there is one more point, Zhang Huangyan!

If Zhu Mingzhong is killed, not only is Jiang Beibei likely to fight back in an instant, and he will be on the same page as Nanjing, even Zhang Huangyan, I'm afraid it's the same!

At this moment, Zheng Chenggong seemed to understand, and understood why the teacher in front of him had wanted to destroy Zhu Mingzhong for Daming more than once, with Zhu Mingzhong and Zhang Huangyan, they were the root of Zheng Chenggong's constraints, maybe one of them, he could not scruple about it, but if the two of them joined forces, even he would have to scruple seven points.

Qian Qianyi, who has been standing aside, has been observing Zheng Chenggong's face, checking his face has always been a must for officials, and Zheng Chenggong's changing face made him realize that the success of his words affected his decision.

Zhu Mingzhong!

Sneering in his heart, Qian Qianyi quietly thought of Zhu Mingzhong, who has been in the limelight recently and has the potential of "the fourth person in the world", maybe he can be in charge of the four prefectures in Jiangbei, maybe he can be in charge of nearly 100,000 strong troops, maybe he can be in charge of the world's scholars, and he can abolish the fame of the world's scholars.

But in the hands of the old man, you are just a yellow-mouthed child, how can you use a knife to kill you!

Literati don't need to use knives to kill people!

While sneering in his heart, Qian Qianyi sighed slightly.

"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north. The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost. The heart is like the Yellow River. Twenty years, who can fight against each other in the vertical and horizontal, hateful and crazy, and the long knife goes! How many siblings are loyal to their souls in other places, why not die to serve their families and country...... The remnant snow condenses the cold painting screen, the plum flute has been changed three times, and no one is in the moon. I am a melancholy guest in the world, I know what is the matter with tears, and I remember my life in the sound of broken intestines...... Good words, good words, the poems of Chengren can be soft or rigid, and they can be described as changeable......"

Listening to the teacher's admiration, Zheng Chenggong's heart emerged with four words to "sell fame and reputation", although Qian Qianyi did not say that even if Zhu Mingzhong was not good, but now, when this idea emerged in Zheng Chenggong's heart, it was like a shoot, and it began to give birth to that shoot.

Especially the two words "changeable" made his whole heart full of indescribable dissatisfaction and annoyance, but Zheng Chenggong still endured it, and even took a deep breath and said.

"The military song should sing the big knife ring, and swear to destroy Hu Nu out of the jade pass. Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. Poem ......"

The voice was elongated, Zheng Chenggong looked into the distance and said.

"Poetry is good poetry!"

As for people!

Then we have to talk about it again!

When Zheng Chenggong secretly thought like this in his heart, he didn't notice that this was the first time that he denied a person by nature, and when a person denied a person by nature, everything else was no longer important.

It was at this moment that an invisible crack was born in Zheng Chenggong's heart, and in that crack, a sprout of distrust also grew.

Qian Qianyi, who knew that the heat was already about the same, did not continue to add oil and vinegar, literati do not use knives to kill people, because this knife is used slowly, and it is necessary to master the heat well, so as to give the other party a fatal blow when necessary, and must not be in a hurry.

At that moment, someone spread the word over there.

"Zhang Huangyan, the squire of the military department, asks to see the prince!"

As soon as he heard that it was Zhang Huangyan who asked to see him, Zheng Chenggong's heart moved slightly, and then he looked at Qian Qianyi.

"Teacher, why don't you go with this king to meet Shao Sima!"
