After discussion by the cabinet, with the consent of all the cabinet elders, and the approval of the princess of the prison country, it was scheduled to open Enke on the ninth day of November in the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, which is only four months away.

The official document of opening Enke was transmitted by the General Administration Department to all provinces and counties, and the local magistrates knew about it and then hurried to the capital, and the time of four months was already a warehouse. After all, if Yunnan is four or five thousand miles away from Nanjing, it will take four or five months to walk now, and Enke will probably not be able to catch up this time. Wang Yin used this as an excuse to suggest that the time be postponed to March of the following year, but there was a serious shortage of officials everywhere, which had seriously delayed the operation of the government, and after quarrels and mutual compromises, Shi Kefa postponed the original time from September to November, so that the lifters who were far away in Liangguang also had enough time to rush to Nanjing, and as for the lifters in Yunnan and Guizhou, they really couldn't take care of it......

Yunnan is thousands of miles away from Nanjing, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are only a few hundred miles away from Nanjing, so there is plenty of time.

Zhang Huangyan, the son of Yinxian County, had already seen the official documents posted by the government, and he even avoided the hottest summer, and waited until August when the osmanthus flowers fell, and then rushed to the capital to worship Zhang Guizhang, the father of Chi Chi Shi at home.

Zhang Huangyan is 26 years old this year, 16 years old was admitted to Xiucai, 22 years old in the middle of the lift, during the examination, the imperial court with military affairs, so that the candidates "also test shooting", and Zhang Huangyan actually three shots", so that the people present were very convinced that his reputation was broadcast in Zhejiang Province.

A year ago, Chongzhen arrived in Nanjing after the first examination, but because his father Zhang Guizhang was seriously ill, Zhang Huangyan waited in front of the bed and did not participate.

Yin County is the seat of Ningbo Prefecture, from Yin County to Qiantang by boat in just a few days, Zhang Huangyan worshiped the tomb of Yue Wumu by the West Lake, every time he goes to Hangzhou Zhang Huangyan will come here to worship, and sigh in his heart for the hero of the former Song Dynasty against the Jin soldiers.

The Tartars died before they were destroyed, and they died after their own people, this is Yue Wumu's sorrow! It is also the inevitability of the former Song Dynasty dying at the hands of foreign races.

When a country is framed for not even being in awe of its own national heroes, what future does such a country have?

After worshipping Yue Wangmu, Zhang Huangyan left Hangzhou by boat, went north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to Zhenjiang, and then transferred to a carriage and horse to arrive in Nanjing by land, and entered the capital on the first day of September.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Chen Zilong's servants were waiting at the city gate and connected Zhang Huangyan to Chen's mansion.

Zhang Huangyan and Chen Zilong are old acquaintances, that is still Chongzhen fifteen years, Chen Zilong served as the manager of Shaoxing Prefecture and Zhuji County, at the time of the governor of Zhejiang Dong Xiangheng ordered more than 1,000 people to pacify the activities in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces at the junction of Tingzhou, Fujian Qiu Lingxiao father and son led the mountain rebellion, the reputation spread throughout Zhejiang, the following spring, Li Zicheng rebel army broke Chengde, Nanjing earthquake. Chen Zilong was appointed by Dong Xiangheng to be responsible for planning armaments, building customs and platforms in Yuhang and other places, renovating cities, and casting cannons to store nitrate.

At that time, Zhang Huangyan, who had not long been admitted to the promotion, went to Yuhang to meet Chen Zilong, and the two had a very happy conversation. At the beginning of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Chen Zilong rebelled because of the rebellion of Xu Du in Dongyang County, Zhejiang, and Zhang Huangyan was also his counselor.

And now that Zhang Huangyan has entered Beijing for scientific research, Chen Zilong sent his servants to wait at the city gate early and invited Zhang Huangyan to live in his home after entering Beijing.

As for Chen Zilong, Zhang Huangyan sincerely admires him, not for his official position, but for his extraordinary knowledge! If you talk about talent, Chen Zilong, who was born in "six sons of several societies", is far above the four sons of the Fushe, the four sons of the Fushe rely on poetry, but more of them are the reputation from the mouths of courtesans on the Qinhuai River, but Chen Zilong is a real merry, his poems call himself a family, and he is called the leader of the Yunjian Ci faction!

If the poetry is powerful, it is enough, but what Zhang Huangyan admires the most is Chen Zilong's achievements in other aspects, compiling the "Emperor Ming Jingshi Wen Compilation", the text is based on the principles of Meizhi chaos, similarities and differences, detailed military, and heavy economy, including politics, military, enslavement, finance, farmland, water conservancy, school culture, code system, etc., "the rules of the upper generation are prepared, and the lower is the teacher of the later learning", Chen Zilong tried to reverse the bad atmosphere of "vulgar Confucianism is ancient rather than modern, and it is not practical to give up the truth".

Chen Zilong also sorted out Xu Guangqi's agricultural masterpiece "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", "but with the foundation of enriching the country and turning the people into a rich country, he deleted its complexity and made up for its shortcomings." Judging from Chen Zilong's early fondness for poetry to his later compilation of "Huangming Jingshi Wen Compilation" and sorting out the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", Chen Zilong's ability and mind from the beginning to the practical world are far beyond Hou Fangyu and other Fushe sons who only know how to drink. This is the real reason why Zhang Huangyan admires Chen Zilong.

Regarding Chen Zilong's invitation, Zhang Huangyan naturally happily obeyed and lived in Chen's mansion. The two talked happily, slept contentedly, talked about the present, and tirelessly.

Zhang Huangyan talked about his passing by Xizi Lake to worship the tomb of King Yue, and said with emotion, "The current Ming Dynasty and the former Song Dynasty are so similar, both of them are the Beijing division that was broken and settled in the south, and they are both internal and external troubles, and they are all in flames. There are still four generals in Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, but I am the only king of Qi in the Ming Dynasty who is trying to maintain it! And I hope that King Qi can have a good death, unlike Yue Wumu, who often makes heroes cry! ”

"King Qi?" Chen Zilong shook his head, "King Qi is not Yue Wumu, and his scheming methods are not comparable to Yue Wumu, if it is more appropriate than Cao Mengde." ”

"Cao Mengde?" Zhang Huangyan was taken aback, "Brother Mao, why do you say that?" ”

The reputation of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, is very great among the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the people regard it as the savior of the Ming Dynasty to save the driver, refuse to capture, and suppress bandits. Zhang Huangyan didn't expect that in the eyes of the court officials, he compared Chen Yue to a traitor like Cao Cao!

"If you know what King Qi has done these days, then you will know why I compared him to Cao Mengde!" Chen Zilong sighed and carefully recounted what had happened in Nanjing these days.

"Your Majesty suffered a stroke and was seriously ill, and he should have made the vassal king the prince, but the king of Qi did not want to see this, so he brazenly sent troops back to Beijing and supported Princess Kunxing as the prisoner of the country. Women's prison country, how can there ever be in all dynasties? And for the safety of the imperial court, in order for the Ming Dynasty to survive, Shi Gong and others also had to be hypocritical, after all, the Ming Dynasty now has a full Tartar in the north, and there are western thieves raging inside, and the slightest carelessness will be in danger of overturning.

did not listen to the orders of the imperial court and led troops back to Beijing without authorization, regardless of the Ming ancestors' system of establishing women as prisoners, how different is his behavior from Cao Cao Dong Zhuo? Chen Zilong sighed.
