Li Zhi smiled, waited there for a while, and saw the doorman turn back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The master is free, the official will come with me."

Li Zhi followed the servant around the shadow wall and walked into the courtyard first. Li Zhi looked at the west wing with his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that there were several people waiting there, and he was cutting in line.

Entering the main hall, Li Zhi saw an old man with a thin face wearing a green shirt, sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed. Li Zhi's name card was opened and looked at, and put it on the tea case on the side.

The old man was not tall and very thin. I don't know if it's shaved on my face, but I don't see a single beard. A pair of elongated eyes are sunken deep in the sockets, and two deep nasolabial folds extend to the base of the nose.

This is Qian Qianyi, the leader of the influential Donglin Party.

Li Zhi stood in the main hall for a while, and when he saw that the old man did not open his eyes, he said with a long sigh: "Li Zhi, the military attache of Xia Tian 0 Jin, has seen the old man of Dongjian. ”

Hearing this, Qian Qianyi opened his eyes.

As soon as the old man opened his eyes, Li Zhi felt two old spicy eyes glance at him, which made Li Zhi a little nervous. Although he has been idle for many years, Qian Qianyi has always had a huge influence as the leader of Donglin, and he has the momentum of a superior person in his gestures.

Qian Qianyi glanced at Li Zhi, didn't let Li Zhi sit, and said, "What are you doing to see me?" ”

Li Zhi hurriedly asked a few family members to send the gift brocade box and said: "I have admired Mr. for a long time, and I have prepared some small gifts for Mr. today, and there is nothing else to do." ”

Li Zhi opened a few gift boxes, opened those ginseng and deer antler velvet and his two sets of glassware, and gave Qian Qianyi a look.

Those ginseng and deer antler velvet were okay, Qian Qianyi glanced at it and stopped looking, but it was two sets of glassware that attracted his attention. Standing up and taking out a small wine glass from the brocade box and looking at it, Qian Qianyi said, "This is Tessie's glass?" It is extremely difficult to transport these two sets of glassware from Taixi, I am afraid that it will cost one or two hundred taels of silver, right? ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "This is the glass produced in the next workshop, one set costs thirty taels, and two sets only cost sixty taels!" ”

Qian Qianyi asked, "This is the glass you produce?" ”

"Exactly!"

Qian Qianyi glanced at Li Zhi again and asked, "Your glass is so cheap, where can you sell it?" ”

Li Zhi was waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly replied: "It is sold in the Li family's store in Tian0jin, and you will know as soon as you inquire about Tian0jin!" ”

Qian Qianyi smiled, turned over the lid of the brocade box, and saw several big brush words written on the back of the lid: "Tian0 Jin Li family production, thirty taels and one set."

The so-called old man is fine, so how shrewd is Qian Qianyi? After thinking about it, he had already seen through Li Zhi's intentions and said, "Interesting! ”

Li Zhi was stunned, but he didn't know how to answer this sentence.

After saying "interesting", Qian Qianyi took out a glass teacup from another brocade box and looked at it.

"Something is good! Crystal clear! ”

After looking at it for a while, Qian Qianyi put down the glass teacup and said lightly: "Okay, I know, you can go back!" ”

Li Zhi saw that Qian Qianyi had already guessed his intention to use him as an advertisement, and his heart tightened. However, just now the old man said something funny, and praised his product, it seems that he is not angry about his behavior, maybe he is happy to do his own live advertisement. Li Zhi thought about it in his heart, hurriedly made a move, and withdrew from Qian Qianyi's mansion with a few family members.

That night, Qian Shisheng, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, came to Qian Qianyi's house in the dust.

The Scholar of the Eastern Pavilion is one of the positions of the Ming Cabinet Minister. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet system was implemented, and at first the cabinet ministers were only secretarial institutions for the emperor to consult and draft edicts, and had no decision-making power. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, the civil power expanded, and the cabinet ministers were civil leaders outside the cabinet, and they had the power to participate in decision-making, and gradually became a well-known chief assistant.

Qian Shisheng and Qian Qianyi are very familiar with each other, and the two have to meet every few days. On this day, Qian Shisheng came to Qian Qianyi's mansion empty-handed, and as soon as the servant of Qian Qianyi's house saw Qian Shisheng, he trotted all the way to lead him to the main hall.

After a while, Qian Qianyi walked in from the backyard, said hello to Qian Shisheng and sat down. After Qian Qianyi sat down, he said to his family: "Entertain the pavilion elder with the new set of tea sets!" ”

The servant standing next to him hurriedly agreed and went down to prepare tea.

Qian Shisheng glanced at Qian Qianyi, went straight to the point, and said worriedly: "Accept it, the Sacred Heart of the Son of Heaven favors the treacherous appearance, we can't shake it!" ”

It was Qian Qianyi's word, and Qian Shisheng called Qian Qianyi with the word to show respect. As for the treacherous appearance in Qian Shisheng's mouth, he naturally refers to Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Qian Qianyi smiled: "How can there be a shakable character in this world? ”

Qian Shisheng said: "The previous Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum was destroyed, and the traitorous minister Wen Tiren and the traitor Wang Yingxiong shielded Yang Yipeng, the governor of Fengyang, and patrolled Wu Zhenying. We asked the principal Zheng Er to say, Hu Jiang attacked Wang Yingxiong, Wen Tiren and Peng Bi misled the country, but Zheng Er said that Hu Jiang provoked the emperor's anger and was condemned. ”

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the beginning of this year, the thieves captured Fengyang and destroyed the tomb of the Ming Emperor. However, Yang Yipeng and Wu Zhenying had a good relationship with Wen Tiren and Wang Yingxiong, and Wen Tiren and Wang Yingxiong withheld the two of them to report the fall of the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, and deducted the two sets of concerts until the recovering Fengyang Concerto arrived in the capital before handing over the two sets of concerts to the Son of Heaven, hoping that the Son of Heaven would be less angry when he saw the restoration of the Imperial Mausoleum, and would not kill the governor and the patrol.

Wen Tiren Wang Yingxiong's operation is obviously a violation. The Donglin Party seized this golden opportunity and concentrated their firepower on attacking Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Wang Yingxiong, the elder of the cabinet.

Zheng Er, the director, said that Hu Jiang is a petty official, and he is the stone for the Donglin Party to test the water and explore the way.

However, the Son of Heaven still relied on Wen Tiren at this time, and was very angry with the petty officials who dared to attack Wen and Wang Erxiang, and all adopted the punishment of reducing officials and demoting them.

The anger of the Son of Heaven shocked Qian Shisheng, but it did not frighten Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi has been up and down for many years, and he has extremely rich experience in political struggles, so he can see the way at once.

Qian Qianyi asked lightly: "Zheng Er, the head of the treacherous minister, said, how is Hu Jiang now?" ”

Qian Shisheng said: "The two of them are now angry with the Son of Heaven doing things for us, and they have been demoted by the Son of Heaven for the time being, and they have suffered a loss on the surface but actually gained fame. When the limelight is over, we will naturally look for opportunities to promote the two again. Now although the two have been demoted, they are both very sensible and have no emotions. ”

Smiling, Qian Qianyi said: "The two principals attacked the prime minister lightly, the Son of Heaven did not kill them and did not have a court staff, there is a drama here!" ”

Qian Shisheng listened to Qian Qianyi's words, and suddenly saw the sun, and his eyes lit up.
