Panic!

Almost when Zhu Mingzhong discussed the literature and the emperor began to discuss in the Yanping Palace, the whole Nanjing suddenly became panicked, after all, in addition to the civil and military generals who entered Nanjing with the prince, as well as the widows from all over the country after the restoration of Jiangnan, there was also a group of people - they were once civil officials under the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, and now they are also on errands with the government. In the face of such a suggestion, how can you calm down?

Even when he was holding a pen, Wang Wenchuan would look up at the door from time to time, lest a soldier rush in and take him down, not to mention him, even the people in this room, there are so many of them, just like him, all of them look absent-minded.

finally stayed up until noon, and after eating, Wang Wenchuan immediately went to meet Qian Qianyi, who he hadn't seen for a while. I didn't expect him to greet him at the door.

"Oh, it's cold weather, Uncle Zong, why did you come to the gate!"

Wang Wenchuan said, and walked forward quickly to support Qian Qianyi.

"Come into the study, the little brother can't afford it!"

"Sit down!"

After entering the public house, Qian Qianyi pointed to a circle chair beside him and said to Wang Wenchuan. He also sat down in another chair. The servant quickly brought two bowls of hot tea.

After this New Year's holiday, compared with last year, Qian Qianyi seems to be thinner and older, and his long and sparse beard is so white that it has no luster at all. Just after walking a few more steps like this, he also felt tired, and calmed down a little, he looked at Wang Wenchuan and said:

"Bingcheng, have you heard?"

"I heard."

Wang Wenchuan nodded in a heavy tone and said.

"Originally, I was thinking about going down to see Uncle Zong. It's cold these days, so you should take care of yourself. ”

Wang Wenchuan replied nonchalantly. Actually, he didn't come to care about Qian Qianyi's body, the reason why he came to the door was because Qian Qianyi was the backbone of these people, and now that this matter has happened, he can't help but come here.

Since hearing the news, Wang Wenchuan's heart has been uneasy, if he really wants to liquidate, what will happen to him, at this time, who can help them, only Qian Qianyi! After thinking about it all morning, Wang Wenchuan decided to go to him to try the temptation in person.

"Now that you've heard about it, you should know that this matter is not aimed at you!"

Even if Wang Wenchuan had the heart to come, but in fact, Qian Qianyi also had the heart, if it was good, he wouldn't, so he provided convenience for Wang Wenchuan as soon as he opened his mouth.

"It doesn't seem to be aimed at us, but you always know that no one can say for sure about this kind of thing?"

"Yes!"

Qian Qianyi nodded and said.

"Things in this world are always like this, at the beginning, it was only for some people, but slowly, everyone fell into it, and only then did they know each other's thoughts."

"Hey, that's why the little brother will come to Zongbo, you say, you said this now, what should I do about this?"

Wang Wenchuan made a panicked look.

"What should I do?"

Qian Qianyi pondered for a moment and did not speak.

"Isn't it? You have always been the leader of my Shilin, and you are also the backbone of our civil officials in Nanjing, without your old ideas, we really don't know what to do. ”

Wang Wenchuan took the opportunity to give Qian Qianyi a high hat, Qian Qianyi's heart was happy, and he said quietly:

"Actually, yesterday the prince also sent someone to ask me what I mean, this matter, well, Chengren considered that it was inappropriate! The reason why the soldiers in the world are out of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is mostly forced to do so, and now Chengren is making this move*** Its choice is either my Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, isn't it just chasing away the thoughts of the Qing Dynasty, so that the hearts of the scholars are all returned to the Qing Dynasty? ”

"Isn't that the truth, Uncle Zong also said this to the prince?"

Wang Wenchuan immediately said urgently.

"The lower officials are also so worried, just like the reason why we waited for the official back then, it was also impatient, and then the prince went on a northern expedition, and we immediately returned to the Ming Dynasty, and most of the officials in this place are also like this, in Cao Ying's heart in the Han Dynasty, if the army is in the Northern Expedition, they will definitely defect before the battle, but if Zhu Jingluo implements this method, when the time comes, people like the lower officials who are in the Ming Dynasty have abandoned their officials and returned to their hometowns, so aren't the people who stay all hardcore traitors, and how can they raise the city to surrender when the time comes?"

Wang Wenchuan will naturally keep wearing a high hat on his head, everyone can say this beautiful thing, just like the uncle in front of him, isn't it also "in Cao Ying's heart in Han".

"The prince also knows this truth."

Qian Qianyi nodded, and then said.

"It's just that this truth is reasonable, but Jiangbei is ...... now"

Qian Qianyi got up, took out a stack of papers from the drawer, and said:

"The prince left this "Ming Pao" with me and asked me to take a good look, this is a newly printed newspaper in Jiangbei, which was just issued three days ago."

Newspaper?

Taking the so-called newspaper, Wang Wenchuan looked at the printing on the paper suspiciously, this newspaper was the first time he had seen it, and the first thing that caught his eye was nothing else.

"The new mirror beauty contains thousands of colors, and the famous flowers are ranked in the fourth spring?"

What is this?

"Yangzhou Dasheng Yarn Mill New Yarn Silver ...... per quintal"

Seeing Wang Wenchuan's puzzlement, Qian Qianyi said with a smile:

"This is an advertisement, you see there is a notice of advertising here, it costs money to send this advertisement, and what you want to see is on the back!"

Flipping through the so-called newspaper, but just seeing the words on the masthead, Wang Wenchuan only felt dizzy, and the two large characters directly met his eyes.

"Traitor!"

Just looking at these two words, Wang Wenchuan felt that his back couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat, so that he couldn't even stop breaking out in a cold sweat on his back, and now he was most afraid of these two words.

The reason couldn't be simpler - he was a traitor!

"Traitor...... These two words came from Jiangbei, what this newspaper is, I don't know, but this Zhu Mingzhong......"

Qian Qianyi touched his sparse white beard, and looked at Wang Wenchuan with dim old eyes.

"The reason why Zhu Mingzhong wants to do this now, although it seems to be inappropriate, but it is not just a reputation for fame, although it seems to be unfavorable to my Ming Dynasty's future Northern Expedition, but it can also mess up the situation under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, after all, the Qing Dynasty always depends on the Han officials, Zhu Mingzhong's move is the method of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, if the Han officials in the world are all fleeing, then who will govern the place? If there is no one to govern the place, how can the place be stable, and when the time comes, how can there be sufficient taxes? Once this trick is played, it can defeat hundreds of thousands of troops! ”

Wang Wenchuan put his hands on his knees and made a teachable appearance. He didn't dare to object, nor did he dare to agree, after all, his own identity was there.

"However, he is still too young after all, although there are sages in the scene to help, but those people have no experience as officials, and they are a little too anxious to do things, this is a good way, but he is still too anxious after all!"

Qian Qianyi shook his head and sighed, but in that sigh, there was a little excitement between his eyebrows, because this general text made him see an opportunity after being silent for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that he was implicated too much, how could the general come to ask for his opinion, compared to Zhu Chengren, his suggestion was probably more secure.

"What Uncle Zong said is extremely true!"

Wang Wenchuan, who did not dare to object, had to echo his words.

"That being said, but if this matter continues to be done like this, I'm afraid that it will change in vain, after all, if it is implicated in the future, who knows if it will implicate other people, the lower officials, the lower officials are afraid, afraid that the time will be ......"

"It's not impossible."

Qian Qianyi deliberately smiled bitterly and said.

"Bingqi, you know, although Jiangbei is under the rule of the general, but it is free from the general, even if it is a general, sometimes he has to make concessions, after all, the loyal army is the barrier of Nanjing, and now that Fulin Xiaoer is leading hundreds of thousands of troops in Shandong and Henan, and he is eager to try Jianghuai, and he has the momentum of entering Jiangnan at any time, at this time, the general has to take care of the overall situation!"

Qian Qianyi sighed like this, and he had the attitude that even if a general was unwilling, he would not do it.

"And don't you see it? Who is most disadvantaged? ”

Qian Qianyi stopped touching his beard, and a rare look shot out of his eyes.

"Zhang Huangyan?"

Wang Wenchuan raised his voice slightly, then nodded and said,

"This Zhang Huangyan is very famous in Jiangnan Shilin, since it entered the river, the city of the overcome, almost entirely by personal prestige, now it presides over Jiangxi, but also respected by Jiangnan Shilin......"

The words were only halfway through, Wang Wenchuan suddenly understood, understood why it was impossible for the general to stop this matter, because Jiangnan Shilin himself was not a general, between the pirate-born general and the long-standing famous Zhang Huangyan, they naturally chose the latter, and the general was only annoyed by this, but there was no way, and even needed to deliberately please them.

Now that Zhu Mingzhong has stood up, the general naturally doesn't mind beating Jiangnan Shilin in the name of liquidating traitors, and more importantly, he can beat Zhang Huangyan's dependence, it can be said that it is beneficial to the general and no harm, in this case, how can the general oppose it?

"In the end, everything in this world is actually for the sake of profit!"

Qian Qianyi looked at Wang Wenchuan and suddenly sighed.

"It's just that this time, to be honest, I don't understand it......"

frowned slightly, although when he got the news, although Qian Qianyi was happy in his heart, he was more puzzled, because he couldn't see through, couldn't see through Zhu Mingzhong's intentions, couldn't see the intentions behind Zhu Mingzhong's actions, to be precise, what he could get!

"So, we can't oppose it now, we can only watch, after all, it's inconvenient for us to object, not only can't oppose it, but even have to express our approval, otherwise maybe when the time comes, some people will say that we are selfish, we have to wait for ......"

What are you waiting for? Qian Qianyi looked at Wang Wenchuan and said.

"Don't forget, there's one person who's probably more anxious than us!"
