Only two days later, it was a tenten-year vacation, so Zheng Sen first brought a silver ticket of 1,000 taels of silver to Zhang Pu and personally sent it over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Zhang Pu borrowed Mochou Lake at this time, Zheng Sen took Hai Dafu, took a small boat, and went to Mochou Lake along the Qinhuai River.

The boat walked for a long time, and when they arrived at Mochou Lake, Zheng Sen and Hai Dafu had just gotten off the boat, but they saw Zhang Pu walking slowly with a boy from a distance.

Zheng Sen hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. When Zhang Pu saw it, he smiled and said: "It's easy to take a day off, Damu can't rest well, but why did he come to me." ”

Zheng Sen replied: "Last time, I benefited a lot from Mr. Meng's teaching, and I was thinking about asking Mr. for advice day and night, but I didn't have time. It's rare to have time today, so I hurried over. ”

Zhang Pu listened and said with a smile: "Da Mu, you came by coincidence, and you can get to know my Jiangzuo Daxian." Do you know where I'm going? ”

Zheng Sen thought that the people who could be called "Jiangzuo Daxian" by Zhang Pu were probably limited. Could it be that it turned out to be the one who couldn't do it? Although he had an idea in his heart, he didn't say it, just shook his head and said: "Jiangzuo is full of talents, how can you guess it in your later life?" ”

Zhang Pu smiled slightly and said, "I was about to visit Mr. Qian Yushan, and Damu came, how about coming with me?" ”

Zheng Sen thought to himself, it was indeed this Qian Yushan.

The so-called Qian Yushan was Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party at that time. Zheng Sen knew that Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi had a grudge. And Qian Qianyi is the leader of Donglin, and the story of "the water is too cold" has not happened at that time, so Qian Qianyi's reputation and appeal cannot be underestimated. If Zhang Pu wants to operate Zhou Yanru's reset, he naturally has to get the support of Donglin, and if he wants to get the support of Donglin, he naturally can't get around Qian Qianyi.

Back then, Qian Qianyi had a great opportunity to be the first assistant. As a result, Wen Tiren seized on Qian Qianyi's involvement in a fraud case in the field back then, and attacked Qian Qianyi vigorously. In fact, this matter does not have much to do with Qian Qianyi. When Qian Qianyi was taking the Zhejiang exam, candidate Qian Qianqiu cheated in the scientific examination and wrote "once on a smooth step" at the end of each paragraph as a code, colluding with the officials in the examination room Jin Baoyuan and Xu Shimin. Qian Qianyi did not know about this incident and did not participate in it, so after the incident, Qian Qianyi was only fined for leadership responsibilities. But when it came time to compete for the first and second positions, the problem was magnified. Emperor Chongzhen asked Qian Qianyi and Wen Tiren to confront him, Zhou Yanru was instigated by Wen Tiren, and he had some small grievances with Qian Qianyi, so he stabbed Qian Qianyi in the back at this time. As a result, Qian Qianyi not only failed to become the first assistant, but was also beaten and kicked out of the court.

Qian Qianyi's expulsion was not only a personal defeat for Qian Qianyi, but also a sign of the defeat of the Donglin Party in the court. Wen Tiren, who took the lead in setting off this matter, is of course a traitor, and Zhou Yanru, who backstabbed Qian Qianyi, is not much better. Now Zhang Pu wants to operate Zhou Yanru's affairs, but he can't do without Donglin's support, so it is very important to persuade Qian Qianyi.

Zheng Sen knew that Qian Qianyi, because of the story of the water being too cold later, would be almost a clown in later generations. But in fact, this person's problem is not too big. Aside from the fear of death, there is nothing more wrong with it. Moreover, when the Southern Ming Dynasty was established and Emperor Hongguang's accession to the throne was a foregone conclusion, in the Donglin Party, he was one of the few people who really worked hard to bridge the rift in the court and worked hard for it. In the three major cases, Qian Qianyi has been working hard to eliminate the situation, but unfortunately, his efforts have been denounced as a traitor by some party sticks. When the Qing soldiers came, Qian Qianyi surrendered to the Manchu Qing because he was afraid of death, but in fact, he was not afraid of death to save his life, but he never did anything bad. Soon resigned, and regretted because of the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, and later, he also participated in the anti-Qing activities of Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan, and Li Dingguo many times, including plotting against the Manchu Qing Dynasty general soldier Ma Jinbao, contacting Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong to cooperate with each other, providing intelligence and financial support for Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan, and Li Dingguo, and contacting the anti-Qing forces, but he really risked his life to do a lot of real things. So in Zheng Sen's opinion, although Qian Qianyi has ugly things such as too cold water and itchy scalp, don't say that compared with those guys who are really traitors, it is to engage in infighting when Da Ming is still there, Da Ming is finished, compared with those who hide in the mountains as "immigrants", Qian Qianyi is still better. It belongs to the kind that can be saved.

"In the original history, he was still my teacher." Zheng Sen couldn't help but think like this.

"It turned out to be Mr. Qian Yushan, when I was in Fujian, I had heard of Mr. Yushan's name for a long time. It is a blessing to be able to meet such a great sage, how can you not want to? Zheng Sen replied.

"Okay, then you can go with me." Zhang Pu said.

A few people got on another boat together, went back the same way, passed the Confucius Temple, several people went ashore, and walked to the Guozijian, Qian Qianyi lived in a small courtyard not far from the Guozijian at this time.

Zhang Pu arrived at the gate of the courtyard, walked forward, knocked on the door knocker gently, and a servant came to open the door. Zhang Pu handed over a greeting note and said, "Taicang Zhang Pu asks to see Mr. Yushan." ”

The servant took the prayer and said, "Sir, wait." Then he turned and went in, and in a short time he saw a tall, thin old man with gray hair come out.

"I don't know if the sky is coming, and I will miss it." The man strode forward and smiled.

"How dare you work Mr. Labor." Zhang Pu also returned the courtesy.

"Inside, please, inside." Qian Qianyi stepped forward, took Zhang Pu's hand, and walked inside. Zheng Sen followed.

After entering the house, Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu sat down as guests, and Zheng Sen also sat aside. The servant brought the tea and withdrew.

"I don't know who this little friend is, but Tianru is your student?" Qian Qianyi asked.

"This little friend is the son of Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian. He is not my student, but your student, Mr. Yu Shan. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Because he is now a student in this country's prison, so he is naturally a student of Mr. Yushan." ”

"It turns out that you are Zheng Sen." Qian Qianyi said with a smile, "A few days ago, I saw your father and son's translation of "Triangle" from Fang Mizhi, and Fang Mizhi was full of praise for this book. Number is also one of the six arts of a gentleman, but I'm not very good at it, I skimmed over "Triangle", I don't understand many places, and I'm not as proficient as Xiaoyou. When I have time, the old man wants to ask my friend for advice. I'm not in good health these days, but I haven't been to lecture in the prison. Otherwise, there would be no need for Tianru to introduce. ”

"The boy deserves to be praised by Mr." Zheng Sen hurriedly humbled himself.

However, Qian Qianyi is not a person who is really interested in mathematics, he only mentioned it briefly, then turned to the main topic and asked Zhang Pu: "I don't know what is the matter if the sky is in vain?" ”

"Naturally, it is for the sake of today's court situation...... Zhang Pu didn't turn around much, and directly said his plan.

Zheng Sen carefully watched Qian Qianyi's reaction from the sidelines. When Zhang Pu mentioned that he wanted Zhou Yanru to be restored, Qian Qianyi frowned, but he didn't say anything, but continued to listen to Zhang Pu talk about his plans. waited until Zhang Pu finished speaking, and Qian Qianyi said:

"Brother Tianru, Zhou Yusheng is your teacher. But this person's mind is unpredictable, even if he is reborn, his way of governing may not be as the sky is as his brother thinks. ”

Zhang Pu replied after hearing this: "Don't worry, sir, Zhou Yixing has made up his mind to change his past mistakes, and there will never be any more repetitions." Moreover, now that Wen Tiren is in trouble in the world, if he is not expelled from the court as soon as possible, everyone in the world will suffer. Although Zhou Yixing had some mistakes before, he was still a lot stronger than Wen Tiren. ”

Zheng Sen knew that Zhang Pu's so-called Zhou Yanru had changed his past and would not repeat it, but in fact, it was not because he trusted Zhou Yanru's character, but because he had Zhou Yanru's handle in his hands. Zhou Yanru occupied the widow of the good family in his hometown, and the entire evidence of this matter was taken by Zhang Pu. In this era, if this scandal comes out, even if Zhou Yanru becomes the first assistant, he will definitely be rectified. Zhang Pu felt that with this handle in his hand, Zhou Yanru could only bow down to him in order to keep his position. But Zheng Sen also knew that if he wanted to rely on such a so-called handle to turn people like Zhou Yanru into puppets, Zhang Pu was inevitably too self-righteous, and even some too young, too simple Tucson was broken. Later, not long after Zhou Yanru came to power, Zhang Pu suddenly fell ill and died. It is said that after Zhang Pu's death, Zhou Yanru said: "The sky is like death, and I am good to be an official." Although there is no direct evidence, most people believe that Zhang Pu was poisoned by Zhou Yanru. However, although he knew this result, Zheng Sen did not intend to remind Zhang Pu, this is just like after Zhang Pu's death in history, no one stood up for him, whether it was Donglin or Fushe, and even his future affairs were arranged for him by Ma Shiying, who benefited from his actions completely unintentionally because of his actions (that is, the "traitorous minister" who was later scolded by Donglin and Fushe). Of course, the reason is complicated, but Zhang Pu is too strong, and I am afraid that Zhou Yanru is not the only one who hopes that he will die soon.

Although Zheng Sen knew this history, he didn't plan to remind Zhang Pu, but only planned to watch quietly from the sidelines, watching him raise Zhu Lou, watching him feast guests, and seeing his building collapse.

Qian Qianyi didn't speak when he heard this, he just stretched out his hand and twisted his beard, and after a while, he said: "Zhou Yuxian, this person is just too selfish, if you talk about treachery, you are indeed inferior to Wen Tiren." In today's world, it is indeed the first priority to bring down Wen Tiren first. Although I am still a little worried about Zhou Yusheng, but in any case, it is better than Wen Tiren still on stage. ”
