Ji Qingwen's words are half threatening and half truthful.

Although the Donglin Party is not popular now, they are still a well-known force in the imperial court. And here in Jiangnan and Suzhou, it has a strong influence on public opinion.

You must know that in the fifth year of the apocalypse when the eunuch party was powerful, there were still Suzhou citizens who made trouble in the whole city in order to save the Donglin party, and beat the eunuchs who were ordered to come to arrest people.

Therefore, Liu Ruozai, who was unfamiliar with the place, naturally did not dare to touch this moldy head, and sighed deeply: "Alas! I didn't expect that I, Liu Ruozai, prided myself on being shrewd, but in the end I got on Lord Ji's thief ship, it's really 'easy to get on a thief ship, but it's difficult to get off a thief ship'! ”

Ji Qingwen said with a smile: "Zhuangyuan Gong is wrong in what he said, my ship is a treasure ship, not a thief ship." On my treasure ship, of course, there will be your benefits. When the time comes, you may not be willing to get off the ship! ”

Under Ji Qingwen's several urgings, Liu Ruozai finally walked downstairs half-pushed and half-on-the-spot, and under the gaze of a group of Donglin Party members, he came to the hall of Qunfang Pavilion, waved to everyone, and after a few pleasantries, he sat down and stopped talking.

Most of the Donglin Party members are nerds who have read and read, and there are not many old foxes with a keen political sense like Qian Qianyi.

These nerds only know that today is the new champion of Suzhou Governor Liu Ruozai to invite guests, and it is indeed the literary name of the admirer Liu Zhuangyuan who rushed to Songjiang to eat this meal. But now seeing Liu Ruozai's dejected and stunned look, he couldn't help but whisper: "It is said that Liu Zhuangyuan is a talented and suave talent, and when I look at it today, why is it like a piece of shocking wood - I slapped it and stopped making a sound?" ”

As the actual convener of this party, Ji Qingwen naturally wanted to choose a suitable time to appear, but now he saw that the scene was embarrassed, so he had to choose to appear in advance.

I saw that under the escort of Huang Degong and Li Yuanyin, he went down from the second floor, arched his hand and made a gesture to everyone in a very chic posture, and then raised his eyes to scan the hall, and then said: "Everyone, Liu Zhuangyuan invites everyone to come here today, in addition to having a full meal, knowing poetry and writing, and opening his eyes, he wants to talk about some contradictions between the people of the Donglin Party and the ......."

Ji Qingwen didn't finish speaking, but he heard an old voice interrupt: "Lord Ji's words are biased." Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and they have always been harmonious, so what contradiction can we talk about? Since there is no contradiction, why does Liu Zhuangyuan come forward to say yes? ”

Ji Qingwen followed the voice and looked up, but it was Qian Qianyi who spoke.

There are about forty or fifty Donglin Party members who came here today, and only Qian Qianyi is Ji Qingwen's least disliked, he doesn't like his way of doing things, he doesn't like the sound of his speech, and even his shriveled and thin face feels disgusting.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen immediately sneered at each other: "Oh? Isn't this Mr. Qian Yushan? I'm not wrong, but yours are very wrong. I am now the Weaving Admiral of Suzhou, and I am also the emperor's Fu Lubo, although the official position is not high, but he is also an official of the imperial court. But Mr. Qian, although you are a Jinshi, you are a white man, what qualifications do you have to talk to me about 'being an official in the same dynasty'? ”

Qian Qianyi's stomach was full of words, and he was immediately blocked back by Ji Qingwen.

You must know that Qian Qianyi won the third place Tanhualang at the age of 28, and he has always been a high-profile political star since he started editing and editing Hanlin. But in the battle for Chongzhen's first year to enter the cabinet, after inexplicably failing, Qian Qianyi had no chance with his career, and he had the name of the leader of Donglin and the leader of the literary world, but he never had a chance with the black yarn hat on his head, which also became a regret in the heart of the aspiring Qian Qianyi.

Therefore, after listening to Ji Qingwen's merciless ridicule and snatching white, Qian Qianyi couldn't think of half a word of rebuttal, so he could only suppress the fire in his stomach and not speak for the time being.

Ji Qingwen saw that he scolded Qian Qianyi back with a word, and he was indescribably proud, so he intended to buy a good one, and said to everyone: "Everyone, it's too polite to say this below, so I apologize to everyone here first." Among the people invited today, there are officials, and some of them are ordinary people, but in the end, everyone is Sven. Unlike me, I know that those who open shops to make money, lead soldiers to fight, and fight and kill all day long are not in a proper manner. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be awe-don't talk about him first when they opened a store to make money, but the Ming military army under Ji Qingwen is famous in the world, and even the elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria who are like wolves and tigers are just about to draw with them - if Ji Qingwen deploys the Mingwu army around this "Qunfang Pavilion", wouldn't these weak scholars in the building become his prisoners?

However, Ji Qingwen obviously has no plans in this regard.

I saw him smiling and said: "Although he is Fu Lubo, who is enshrined by the emperor, he is not from a serious academic background, but a miscellaneous official, of course you look down on it." Therefore, everyone didn't come here today to see my face, maybe to catch a glimpse of Chen Yuanyuan's demeanor who lives in my place, right? ”

As soon as the word "Chen Yuanyuan" was mentioned, many Donglin Party members who originally had a look of panic on their faces immediately put a look of expectation on their faces.

But I heard Ji Qingwen continue: "Okay, don't talk nonsense." Now, I would like to ask Miss Chen Yuanyuan to play and sing a song for you. ”

After saying that, Ji Qingwen turned around, glanced at the second floor, slapped his palms again, and stepped aside.

In a moment, another woman with a thin figure and a delicate face, wearing a crimson long skirt and holding a jade decorated pipa, slowly floated down from the second floor, squatting down to the "humble gentlemen" of the Donglin Party who were staring at the hall with wide eyes and open their mouths.

Everyone couldn't help but be stupid when they saw that Chen Yuanyuan was only a teenager, but he looked like a fairy.

I heard Chen Yuanyuan cough dryly, and said in a voice that was almost inaudible and clear to the ear: "Everyone, Lord Ji asked me to play and sing a song for everyone." It's not good to sing, please forgive me......"

As he spoke, Chen Yuanyuan held the pipa pass with one hand, and gently plucked the strings with his fingers like no jade onions with the other hand - suddenly the clear sound of the piano flew fiercely, which corresponded to Bai Juyi's quatrain of "noisy cut and miscellaneous, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate".

In the sound of the piano, Chen Yuanyuan lightly opened his lips and sang: "The rain is murmuring outside the curtain, and the spring is beautiful." Luo Ji is not tolerant of the five colds. In my dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy for joy. Alone without relying on the column, infinite rivers and mountains, it is easy to see when it is difficult to see. Flowing water and flowers go in spring, heaven and earth. ”

This is singing the Southern Tang Dynasty queen Li Yu's "Waves and Sands", a poem that is not only exquisite, but also writes all the sorrow and nostalgia in the world, which makes people cry and sigh when they hear it. In addition, Chen Yuanyuan's pipa and singing voice pointed out by Liu Ru made this eternal swan song even more moving.

After singing the song, the Donglin Party members in the hall were all silent, and a few people were touched by that sentence, and they couldn't help but burst into tears and couldn't help themselves.

Chen Yuanyuan seemed to be moved by himself, and after singing for a long time, he slowly stood up, saluted everyone, and went back upstairs.

Everyone was sighing, but they heard someone say loudly: "Brother Ji, today is the day of the conference and the heyday of the dynasty, you let Miss Chen Yuanyuan sing this song of the dead country, it seems a little unsuitable, right?" ”

Listening to these words, it seems that he is complaining that Ji Qingwen can't do things.

Qian Qianyi, who was so stunned by Ji Qingwen that he didn't say a word, followed the prestige, and saw that the person who spoke was actually Li Yan. Qian Qianyi knew that Li Yan was Ji Qingwen's henchman, and in today's situation, Li Yan would never openly demolish Ji Qingwen, it must be that these two people deliberately sang and harmonized, and deliberately made a show.

Although Qian Qianyi fell behind for a while, the city government still had it, and he did not expose it in public, but lowered his head to drink tea and wait for the changes.

Sure enough, as Qian Qianyi expected, as soon as Li Yan's voice fell, he heard Ji Qingwen retort: "Brother Li's words are wrong. Now that it is a prosperous and dangerous situation, an eventful autumn, and a crisis, it is not harmful to listen to the voice of the dead country like Li Houzhu? ”

"Now that the country has been peaceful for a long time, I don't know what Brother Ji will say?" Li Yan answered again.

Ji Qingwen replied: "What has been peaceful for a long time? For example, there are not many peaceful places today, except for the paradise of Jiangnan, other places have long been full of wolf smoke. There was a great drought in the northwest, and the people were in turmoil; The Eight Banners of Manchuria in the Northeast were raging, going deeper into the Guannai and plundering the Beijing Division. Now is the time for the country to employ people, and we scholars should serve the country even more! ”

Ji Qingwen's words had just been introduced to the topic, but he heard Qian Qianyi say: "These words of Lord Ji are the words of public loyalty to the country. However, the major affairs of these countries should be 'sought by meat eaters', so what does it matter to us? As Lord Fang Cai Ji said, I'm just a white guy who has read a few books, so why should we talk about national affairs? ”

Ji Qingwen shrugged his eyebrows and said, "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." If the Manchurians in the northeast enter the customs and fight the world, it will be a catastrophe for the Chinese nation. At this time, regardless of whether they eat meat or vegetarians, whether they are officials or ordinary people, they will be affected. Mr. Qian, you are a well-educated Confucian, there is a little bit of Huayi here, I don't know if you can understand it? ”

Before Qian Qianyi could speak, he saw a person in the Donglin Party "Teng" standing up from his seat and asked, "Lord Ji, I don't know who you heard these words from?" ”

Ji Qingwen followed the prestige, but the person who got up was a scholar with a righteous face and extraordinary instruments, so he arched his hand and asked, "I don't know the name of this benevolent brother?" ”

The man replied: "The contemptible Gu Yanwu, the expression is Ningren." Going to the appointment today, listening to Lord Ji's words, it is like an empowerment and thunder! ”

As soon as Ji Qingwen heard the name of "Gu Yanwu", his face suddenly turned red - not for anything else, just because the words "the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible" were put forward by Gu Yanwu, and he was equivalent to plagiarizing his creativity, and he made an axe in front of the original creator......

However, today is a loser who does not lose the battle, and he absolutely cannot show his cowardice in front of the Donglin Party, so he can only make up for it slowly afterwards.

So Ji Qingwen licked his face and said: "I didn't say this, but Mr. Zhang Zhixiu, the son of Zhang Jiangling's old minister (Zhang Juzheng). Hidden in the court, although Mr. Zhang Zhixiu sells wontons in Beijing for a living, he can have such a great insight, I should be emulated! ”
