Seventy years of life are rare!

For Qian Qianyi, who is 77 years old, although he is nearly 80 years old, he still has his pursuits and dreams. He has been the leader of Donglin and attracted the attention of the world, and he has also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which is despised by the people of the world, and he has also secretly helped the southeast in order to save the world.

Life is like this, and it can be said that it has a mixed reputation. It stands to reason that there should be no pursuit at this age. And with so many life experiences, with such a mixed reputation, you should retire to the mountains and forests.

But he didn't!

Instead of retiring, he stepped into officialdom again like a young man. Now, although he is in the auditorium again, Qian Qianyi still has a higher pursuit in his heart.

What is the highest state of life pursuit?

As a disciple of the Holy Companion, isn't it just to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister? To help the world!

To be able to become a generation of virtuous ministers who assist the Holy Monarch to achieve great causes, it is enough for the world, what more can a husband ask for!

For Qian Qianyi, this ...... His dream, of course, but what is his real dream? It is a person who has the right to hold office and is a human being. If you can rely on all this and assist the Holy Monarch to achieve great causes, this life is enough!

A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring.

If you want to achieve something, you can only achieve this wish if you are in a high position. Qian Qianyi, who was in his prime, was working hard for his high position with such a beautiful vision, in the past, he could not see hope, although he continued to work hard, but hope was always ethereal. But now, hope is right in front of his eyes.

Because of this, he chased his dream at any cost, and in his opinion, this was his last chance to realize his dream.

And for Qian Qianyi, who has mixed honors, he needs to do something to save his reputation!

But the king of the world, win the name before and after his death!

Q: How many people in this world can do it? Or how many people have the opportunity to do it?

"At present, Jiangnan Kefu, judging from the fact that the Fujian soldiers under the command of Yanping are good at water warfare, it is impossible for the Qing to cross the Yangtze ......River."

In a restaurant near the official wharf of the Qinhuai River, Qian Qianyi looked at Wu Weiye in front of him, five years ago he was forced to go north at the order of the Qing Dynasty, and the following year he was awarded the title of Chamberlain of the Secretariat, and later promoted to the prince of the country to oversee the wine. Two years ago, he begged for leave to return to the south on the grounds of his mother's funeral, and since then he has not returned.

Similar experiences, coupled with the old friends of the two, made him deeply trusted by Qian Qianyi, and it is precisely because of this that he will be the first object chosen by Qian Qianyi.

"I think it must be so, the Qing prisoners are not good at water warfare, and water warfare is what Yanping is good at, if he can defend the south of the Yangtze River and cut off the grain, tax and silver, the Qing prisoners will definitely fall into poverty and inexplicable conditions, and then they will have neither the silver to be paid, nor the food to wrap their stomachs......"

Wu Weiye, who has been an official for many years, naturally knows that since Yongle moved north, Jingshi's dependence on Jiangnan grain, and he also knows the importance of Jiangnan's grain tax in Beijing.

Now the grain and taxes in the south of the Yangtze River have been cut off, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as long as the Zheng family's naval army holds the Yangtze River, the overall situation of the world will be fundamentally changed, and at least in the next few years, the situation of the world will be divided into two.

"At present, because of the slaughter of the Qing captives into the customs at every turn, the towns, villages and fields are all defeated by it, although the Qing captives will be taxed as an assessment, reward reclamation, in order to expand the tax source, enrich the finance can be said to be doing their best, but because the slaughter of the city is too much, the younger brother Yu Jingshi heard that most of the cities in Sichuan are broken walls, the population is cut off, the grass is everywhere, there are only three or five people in the city at most, the people are so scarce, and the tax source is cut off, the Qing captives can only be extremely exploited by my Jiangnan, and now Jiangnan is conquered by Yanping, Jiangnan grain and salary, and the Qingyu can no longer score a cent, In addition, Zhang Cangshui led the west expeditionary army in Jiangxi to conquer, all parts of Jiangxi are all heard of the wind and surrendered, after Jiangxi is restored, Cangshui will inevitably point to Huguang, no Huguang food, what do Qing captives rely on to raise soldiers? The soldiers must be dispersed without pay, and the army cannot be without pay for a day, if you are worried that the Ming Dynasty cannot be prosperous......"

Qian Qianyi shook the folding fan in his hand to dispel the boredom in the room, and his words seemed to have some cheerfulness.

Maybe he once surrendered to the Qing, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to win the world. He hopes that the world of the Ming Dynasty can be restored.

"When the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, we will also have the face to see Emperor Gao!"

Wu Weiye clasped his fists in the direction of Xiaoling and said, at this time he noticed that Qian Qianyi's expression seemed to be a little dignified, so he asked.

"The current situation is so gratifying, but Mu Zhai seems to have hidden worries?"

Friend's question made Qian Qianyi sigh solemnly,

"Although the current situation is good, it can't always make people feel at ease!"

"Oh, why is that?"

"Look at the world!"

Qian Qianyi looked out the window and said,

"At present, Yanping is in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Chengren is in the north of the Jiang, Cangshui is in the Jiangxi, and the king of Jin is in the southwest, and the trend of the Qing Dynasty is already the river is declining, and the emperor will return to the southern capital of the day, which can be said to be ......just around the corner."

If that is the case, why bother? Now that the general trend is clear, the recovery of the world is just around the corner, isn't it exactly what you and I are looking forward to? ”

Wu Weiye asked with some doubts, how could there be worries when the situation was so encouraging.

"......"

Staring at his friend, Qian Qianyi said in a deep voice.

"Is that really that encouraging?"

When Wu Weiye was still puzzled, Qian Qianyi explained slowly.

"Yanping is in the Tang Dynasty, Cangshui is the king of Lu, and the king of Jin is in the present, as for Zhu Chengren, between Yanping and Cangshui, his teacher Zhu Zhiyu is a person from the Lu Palace, so how can it be reassuring?"

Qian Qianyi's rhetorical question made Wu Weiye stunned for a moment, he didn't think of these things when he was only optimistic before. After a moment, his expression became solemn.

"What does it mean to be a priest...... There will be a battle for the throne in the future, but since they have recognized the present, how can they still go back on their word? ”

Despite what he said, his tone was a little uncertain.

"It's easy to share hardships and hardships, and it's difficult to get rich together!"

Qian Qianyi, who shook his head and sighed, continued.

"In the past, the Qing Dynasty was powerful, under the heavy pressure of the Qing Dynasty, everyone had to join hands to resist the strong enemy, and now the world is about to be corrected, and do not ask anything else, it is such as the King of Jin, such as Yanping, such as Zhu Chengren, a group of proud soldiers, if it is other days and such as the four towns of Jiangbei, it is to drive the Qing captives, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will also be a feudal town, and the people will be miserable!"

At this time, Qian Qianyi looked worried about the country and the people, and his old face flashed with his determination to serve the country and the people.

"Therefore, as important ministers of the court, we must advocate for the world, for the Ming Dynasty, and for the people of the world, and we must prevent trouble before it happens......"

His voice was precautionary, and when he heard it in Wu Weiye's ears, he was first stunned, and then asked.

"Oh, what's the best plan for Mu Zhai?"

"Among the four, Yanping is the most loyal, Yanping is a disciple of Qian, his character is Gengzhen, Yu Daming can be said to be loyal, since he believes that he is today, he will not rebel in the future, and then he is a disciple of Qian, Qian also has a certain influence on him, he will seize the opportunity to persuade him to return to the dynasty today, as for Li Dingguo......"

After a pause, Qian Qianyi said,

"He will be like the king of Yunnan Mu in previous years, Yongzhen southwest, and he will be rich and noble, so that he will not cause trouble in the world, and the Republic and Yanping will check and balance each other, and the two will not be troubled by the court......"

"Mu Zhai, are you worried about Cangshui!"

Finally, Wu Weiye understood what Qian Qianyi meant, and the Yanping and Jin kings he was worried about were clearly Zhang Huangyan who fought in Jiangxi.

"Cangshui is King Lu's person after all! Don't forget that King Lu, as a prisoner of the country, is unwilling, if Cangshui can be Jiangxi and Huguang, when the time comes, Lu Dian wants to fight for the throne, what should happen in this world? ”

Qian Qianyi's rhetorical question made Wu Weiye stunned, and while he was stunned, he saw two teacups placed between the plates, and then asked rhetorically.

"Plum Village, look at the situation in the world......"

These two teacups represent Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong, and after putting out this teacup, Qian Qianyi put a wine glass on the side.

Then I looked at my friend and said.

"Originally, Cangshui relied on Shilin's reputation, and Yanping relied on hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and the two would have been safe, but now Zhu Ming is loyal to Jiangbei. You see, in this way, Cangshui's strength suddenly increased greatly......"

When he said this, Qian Qianyi's expression was full of solemnity.

"No, with Cangshui as a person, he will never ignore the world......"

Wu Weiye said with some astonishment.

"He will never ......"

"Cangshui won't, where is the Kelu Palace? Don't forget, Cangshui is the minister of Lu Dian! Do you think Lu Dian didn't see the current form? Don't have the slightest temptation? After all, this is the throne! ”

Qian Qianyi's successive rhetorical questions made Wu Weiye's whole person fall into deep thought.

This is the throne!

The battle for the throne has always been regardless of the world! Wasn't it the same back then?

"If it hadn't been like this, how could I have ended up in today's field, so Qian someone must plan for the world and the future of my Ming."

At this time, Qian Qianyi was all righteous, and there was an indescribable generosity.

"What does my brother want?"

Wu Weiye looked at Qian Qianyi in front of him in surprise, and at this moment, he was even moved by what he said.

"Jiangbei!"

The friend's inquiry made Qian Qianyi spit out two words, and then looked at Wu Weiye and said.

"Now I can no longer withstand any waves, and there are some things that we have to do. Although Chengren has made great contributions to the country in Jiangbei, if he joins forces with Cangshui, not only will the world be in chaos at that time, but he may even have to restore the world's great plan, and the success will fall short, so Qian someone has to ......"

When he said this, Qian Qianyi's old face had a look of pain, but more of it was helpless, and he had to do it.

"It's just...... Hey, for the sake of the world, it can only be like this! ”
