In this way, in February of the third year of Chongzhen, Li Yuanyin finally got the news that Shen Liangzuo had arrived in Nanjing and would come to Suzhou in the near future.

This is a major piece of news, Ji Qingwen didn't dare to be a little lazy, so he asked Li Yan to discuss countermeasures together.

Although Li Yan is often called the "eunuch party" because his father Li Jingbai used to be attached to Wei Zhongxian, he has never been impressed by eunuchs and others.

Therefore, in the face of this Shen Liangzuo, who is very likely to be a bad comer, Li Yan's advice is: "Nanzhili is Brother Ji's territory, how can you allow this gelding dog to spread wild here?" I think instead of waiting here, it is better to go directly to Nanjing, and let this gelding know that we are not easy to mess with. ”

Li Yan said this happily, but Ji Qingwen's nest was in Suzhou after all, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak when he went to Nanjing easily, so he didn't agree immediately.

Li Yuanyin's intelligence on the side may not be able to catch up with Li Yan, but he knows a lot of flies and dogs in the officialdom, and said: "Although it may not be as Mr. Li said, to go to Shen Liangzuo to have a hard time, but according to the rules of officialdom, Lord Ji should also go to Nanjing to meet Shen Gonggong." ”

Ji Qingwen was not happy when he heard this, his neck stiffened, and he said, "What do you mean by this?" Why did you let me go to greet Shen Liangzuo? What are the rules? ”

Li Yuanyin had no choice but to patiently explain: "Lord Ji has been a saint since he took office, and he has been on the rise, so naturally he doesn't understand the rules......

It turned out that this time the emperor set up the City Ship Division and specially sent Shen Liangzuo to manage it, and the Nanzhili Political Envoy had no right to intervene, so he intended to put the City Ship Division under the jurisdiction of the Celebrant Supervision - you must know that Shen Liangzuo's title is the four-grade Celebrant Supervisor and Eunuch.

According to the rules, the three major weaving yamen: Jiangning Weaving, Hangzhou Weaving, and Suzhou Weaving are all under the jurisdiction of the 12 supervisors of the Inner Court. In other words, Ji Qingwen, the five-grade weaving commander, should theoretically be Shen Liangzuo's subordinate.

Originally, if it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen's ingenuity to weave the position of admiral, he would have been a eunuch without eggs.

When Ji Qingwen heard Li Yuanyin say this, he immediately became unhappy and said, "I said, why should I be so aggrieved as an official?" It doesn't matter if there is an emperor who is difficult to serve, the Donglin Party still came to squeeze me, and finally bought them for more than 2 million taels of silver, but they got some kind of celebrant to take care of me. It is said that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, why are I still involuntary in the temple now? ”

Because Emperor Chongzhen was mentioned in Fang Cai's words, Li Yuanyin, who has always been cautious and cautious, could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, but he didn't hear it.

And Li Yan was also busy leading the topic down and said, "Brother Ji, you can be content." You look at the officer

In the field, the subordinates nodded when they saw the superiors, like a rice pecking chicken, and they were like parrots learning to speak, and they were like goosees in the face of their subordinates. Hmph, I think it's all officialdom beasts, even if Brother Ji doesn't do anything, he can gain a foothold in officialdom like a person, I don't think it's easy. ”

Ji Qingwen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Brother Li, are you praising me?" Or are you scolding me? When I say like a person, I mean I'm not a human anymore? ”

Li Yan covered his mouth and smiled: "Now this Ming officialdom is not a human being, and if it can be mixed, it is naturally not a human being." There are a lot of people who are not worthy of being people here, and there are not many Brother Ji. ”

Li Yan's words reminded Ji Qingwen.

I only heard him say: "By the way, Brother Li, this year is the third year of Chongzhen, and next year will be the year of scientific research." With Brother Li's literary knowledge, presumably the middle jinshi is just a hand-to-hand capture. However, this matter should not be taken lightly, and it still needs to be reviewed. If Brother Li thinks that I have too many chores here and it affects my homework, just ask me to buy Brother Li a quiet house in Suzhou City, so that Brother Li can study his homework with peace of mind. ”

When Li Yan heard this, his face sank, and he pondered for a long time before he said, "Brother Ji's kindness, the younger brother understands it." This thing...... Let's wait until we deal with Shen Liangzuo's trouble first, and then make a plan. It's only February now, and when the exam starts in March next year, there's still a whole year to go......"

After saying such a big set of words, Ji Qingwen's original excitement and resentment finally calmed down, considered Li Yan and Li Yuanyin's suggestions, and finally said: "Okay, both of you have some truth in what you said, why don't we go to Nanjing for a trip." ”

But before his words fell, he immediately changed his words and said: "But you can't go empty-handed...... like this."

Li Yuanyin answered: "Does Lord Ji want to bring some bribes to Shen Liangzuo?" That's a good idea. The last general knows so many eunuchs, old and young, but there is no one who is not greedy for money. Master Ji gave him enough silver, so Shen Liangzuo naturally bowed his head. ”

Ji Qingwen's eyes turned white, and he said: "Lao Tzu only has tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand now, so I can't get into Shen Liangzuo's eyes." I can't figure out that this celebrant and the chief eunuch is a bottomless pit, and the money earned by my port customs is not enough for him, and he has to take money out of the weaving yamen. ”

"Then salute first, then soldier!" Li Yan said, "Lord Ji went to Nanjing this time to make preparations, and the money naturally had to be brought, so it was better to bring some of the soldiers of the 'Ming Wu Army' under his command, so that Shen Liangzuo would also know that we were not easy to deal with." ”

Li Yuanyin, the commander of Jinyiwei, raised objections:

"Bringing troops to the past can certainly deter evil spirits. But Nanjing is a dazzling place, the name is not right, the words are not good, leading so many people to pass, it must be eye-catching, I'm afraid it's not a good thing......"

"What is not right, what is not right? Isn't it easy to find a reason? I went to rummage through the treasury of the weaving yamen, and got hundreds of tribute brocades out, saying that I had paid tribute to the palace in advance, and I was afraid that there would be small people on the road to attack and rob, so I led these soldiers and horses to escort them. Ji Qingwen said.

Li Yan praised when he heard this: "Okay, it's really a good idea, bring out the current Long Live Lord, but I want to see which cockroach dares to jump out and make noise!" ”

Li Yuanyin is a prudent person, thinking about it, he felt that although this method did not conform to the rules of officialdom, there was no hard injury, so he no longer raised any objections, and asked: "There are 1,000 people in the regiment under the command of the Yamen of the Weaving Mansion, how many people are you going to order?" ”

"All go, all a thousand." Ji Qingwen replied without thinking about it, "The newly recruited five hundred people, they have been trained in the past two months, and they should also be taken out to practice and see the world, don't be like a rural bun when the time comes." ”

Ji Qingwen was a little hasty when he made such a decision, but he didn't expect that at a critical time, in the end, it was the team of 1,000 people who played a decisive role and completely reversed the situation.

However, Ji Qingwen didn't take this into account now, but immediately sent an order to go down and ask the 1,000 "Ming Wu Army" under his command to prepare immediately and set off for Nanjing tomorrow.

Although Chen Wenzhao died, the "Ming Wu Army" still used the "Qi Family Army" as a military rule and was ready to go out to fight at any time. Therefore, Ji Qingwen can dispatch immediately anytime, anywhere, as long as he gives an order, let alone the next day.

So early the next morning, Ji Qingwen's 1,000 "Ming Wu Army" lined up outside the Xiangmen in the south of Suzhou, driving ten carts loaded with 300 tribute colored brocades, with a kind of "killing chickens and using a knife" momentum, the demonstration generally bypassed most of the Suzhou City, and went to the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and the Nanjing City of Longxing of the Ming Dynasty.

And considering that Ji Qingwen led the army to Nanjing this time, he just wanted to stop and frighten people, and there was no need to scare other people's courage, so the two tanks, one new and one old, were not carried with the army.

As for the entourage, in addition to Li Yan and Li Yuanyin, who need to be counselors at any time, and Huang Degong, who is temporarily in charge of leading the army, Ji Qingwen also brought Liu Rushi and Xiao Duozi to go with them, leaving Xing'er alone and a little lonely in the Suzhou Weaving Yamen to watch the house.

As before, Ji Qingwen didn't realize that his slightly haphazard arrangement would have an unexpected impact in the future.
