Regarding Li Shichao's attitude, Wen Tiren was very useful, picked up his wine glass and said: "Brother Xian, a toast to the smooth of our trip." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Li Shichao also picked up his wine glass and said, "Cheers." ”

After clinking glasses, the two drank it all, the night gradually got dark, and after three rounds of drinking, Li Shichao wanted to retire, but who knew that at this time, Wen Tiren actually asked: "Does the virtuous brother have a wife?" ”

"My wife has been dead for many years, and in addition to my mother, there is only a six-year-old son in the family." Li Shichao couldn't understand why Wen Tiren would ask such a thing, but he still answered honestly.

"Then why don't you look for a woman to marry?" Wen Tiren seems to take this issue very seriously.

"Lord Wen doesn't know, just because the lower officials are busy with official business, they don't have time to take care of the marriage."

"The mother has no one to take care of, and the young son has no one to teach, so it's okay, this official has a daughter, who is twenty-eight years old, and her appearance is also dignified, she has been very kind since she was a child, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if Lord Li does not dislike it, the official can be married to Lord Li, and you can get married when you come back from Jiangnan." It seems that Wen Tiren has made up his mind to let his daughter marry Li Shichao, and the title of this virtuous brother has unconsciously become Lord Li.

After Li Shichao listened, he hurriedly excused himself and said: "Lord Wen, don't do it, Ling Qianjin is a scholarly family, everyone is beautiful, Xia Guan is just a martial artist, born and died, he is really not worthy of Ling Qianjin." ”

Wen Tiren waved his hand, and his face became a little serious: "Could it be that Lord Li doesn't like my daughter." ”

As soon as Wen Tiren said this, Li Shichao hurriedly continued: "How dare the lower officials, it's just, it's just that the lower officials are too old to delay Ling Qianjin." ”

"Master Li has just passed and is in the prime of life, how can he say that he is old? If Lord Li is afraid that the emperor has an idea about this, tomorrow, the official can play the emperor and ask the emperor to give him a marriage, but I don't know what Lord Li really wants. Wen Tiren said that he actually pulled Zhu Youzhen's body, which really made Li Shichao panic.

Wen Tiren wants to marry his daughter to Li Shichao, of course, because of his own selfishness, if there is any relationship with the strongest relationship in this court, it is this relationship between Weng and son-in-law, of course, there is another reason, that is, Li Shichao does have a bright future, and his daughter has also reached the age of marriage, although the age difference is a bit big, but in Wen Tiren's view, this is not a problem, of course, if Li Shichao has not been investigated, Wen Tiren will never marry his daughter to Li Shichao so hastily.

This Li Shichao replaced his father at a young age to enter the Jinyi Guard, brave, calm, within a few years he was appreciated by Tian Ergeng, and was exceptionally promoted to a thousand households, for Tian Ergeng's cronies, after the fall of Tian Ergeng, Li Shichao was not involved, and with his own ability to obtain the recognition of the new commander Luo Yangxing, and step by step into the emperor's sight, and never outside the flowers and grass, in his spare time, he also accompanied the old mother and child in the small courtyard in the north of the city.

These are all things that come from Luo Yang's investigation, just because these desire to ally with Li Shichao is getting bigger and bigger, if he reaches the top in the future, someone must support him, if his daughter marries Li Shichao, Li Shichao at that time will definitely support him.

Wen Tiren said this, if Li Shichao still refused, he really looked down on Wen Tiren, although Li Shichao was appreciated by the emperor, but this Wen Tiren is a confidential minister, and he can't embarrass him too much after all, so he can only say in passing: "Since Lord Wen loves the lower official so much, then after completing the errand assigned by the emperor, if Lord Wen does not regret it at that time, the lower official will carry a generous gift and come to propose marriage." ”

After listening to Li Shichao's words, Wen Tiren laughed out loud: "That's good, that's good." ”

Li Shichao didn't know the bad impact on himself after forming a son-in-law with Wen Tiren, the first thing to bear the brunt of was the relationship with Luo Yangxing at this time, but since today's words are here, if he still doesn't agree to Wen Tiren's words, it will be offended to Wen Tiren, not to mention how to get along in the future, even the next trip to Jiangnan will not be too much

Smoothly.

On the way home on the horse, Li Shichao thought about having a meal, and he actually ate a cheap father-in-law, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

The next day, the envoy was ordered to leave Beijing.

Wen Tiren and Li Shichao's first stop was Nanjing City.

Nanjing City's ancient name is Jinling City, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, is to occupy Jinling City, only then did he have capital, leveled Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and others, unified most of the territory in the south of the Yangtze River, and sent troops to the Northern Expedition, expelled the Tartars, recovered the world of the Han people, after the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, in order to maintain orthodoxy, the status of the capital of Nanjing City was not stripped off, the Ming Dynasty implemented the two-Beijing system, but the center of power of the Ming Dynasty was Beijing City, and Nanjing became a foil.

Nanjing's six yamen gathered, each has a book, but there is no real power, since the battle of Jingnan, Nanjing City has become a political exile for the losers of the political struggle, the most famous is Hai Rui, Hai Rui is to provoke the emperor angry, was transferred to Nanjing as the right governor, died in office, of course, Nanjing's military department still has a certain amount of real power, that is, the deployment around Nanjing, he is responsible, the Southern Ming Dynasty Shi Kefa is the military department of Nanjing City.

Li Shichao and Luo Yangxing walked without delay and arrived in Nanjing for three days.

Since ancient times, the imperial state has been lush and beautiful. Four hundred years into a dream, sad, the Jin Dynasty dressed like an ancient mound. Swim around the water, go up the floor and go upstairs. The past is long and you don't ask, turn back, the Yangtze River is empty outside the threshold. Wang Anshi's Nanxiangzi is the most appropriate to describe Nanjing.

When he arrived outside the city of Nanjing, the prefect of the city of Nanjing, the prefect of the Yamen, led the officials to come out to greet him, but several scholars from the six yamen did not see anyone.

Seeing this situation, Wen Tiren didn't say much, just because the six Shangshu were higher than his official position, and he was also old in Nanjing, so it was normal for him not to participate in this kind of political activity often.

Nanjing is the accompanying capital, and the prefect's grade is the same as that of the prefect of Beijing, and it is one grade higher than the prefect of other state capitals.

The prefect of Nanjing City is called Jinke, the Jinshi of Wanli 25 years, has been an official in Beijing, until the second year of the Apocalypse, he was transferred to Nanjing as the prefect of Nanjing, at that time the eunuch power was not very large, after being transferred to Nanjing, it can be regarded as avoiding the most serious political struggle in those years

After entering the city, Wen Tiren and Li Shichao and his entourage and others lived in the post station, just arrived at the post station and packed up, Jin Ke came to visit Luo Yangxing to discuss the new deal, Wen Tiren looked at Li Shichao and smiled and said: "Lord Li, see no, someone is more anxious than us." ”

Li Shichao smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
