After coming to the White Pagoda Temple, he climbed to the top of the White Pagoda, and sure enough, he saw Li Ruobing and Ye Xianggao, but to his surprise, there was another person standing behind Ye Xianggao, this person was wearing a moon-white gold line trimmed brocade robe, covered with a robe, in his thirties, with slender eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and although his cheeks looked slightly thin, he revealed a shrewdness and confidence. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Ruobing saw it and said with a smile: "Yueling, you are finally here!" ”

Sun Yueling hurriedly stepped forward to meet Shoufu and Venerable Master, Li Ruobing pointed at the middle-aged man and smiled: "Yueling, do you recognize him?" ”

Sun Yueling shook his head and said honestly: "I don't know, please tell the master, so that I can pay homage." ”

Li Ruobing said: "He is the leader of the Jiangnan literary circle, the best of my Donglin, and the right edict of Zhan Shifu, Qian Qianyi!" ”

The middle-aged man Qian Qianyi smiled and said: "Elder Li has come to make fun of Qian again, how dare a student with such superficial knowledge be in front of Lord Shoufu?" ”

Sun Yueling was shocked when he heard this, it turned out that this person was Qian Qianyi, no wonder he was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Remembering that when he watched the flower viewing meeting at the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, Qian Qianyi seemed to be a judge, and he had glimpsed it from afar.

I didn't expect him to come to the top floor of the White Pagoda Temple?

For Qian Qianyi, he had heard of it in his previous life, this person was the leader of the Donglin Party in the later period, and he played a pivotal role in Donglin after the elders, seniors, and cadres of Donglin died. It's just that what he knows more about it is that after this Qian Qianyi grew old, he actually married Liu Ru is wife in "Qin Huai Bayan", and led the crowd to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and later after being abandoned by the Qing Dynasty, he turned to the cause of anti-Qing Dynasty.

This person has a complex experience, a bad temperament, and a repetitive behavior, which is very difficult to kick. What's even more amazing is that his wife Liu Ru persuaded him to throw himself into the lake together for the Ming Dynasty, and he agreed, but on the day of suicide, he actually tested the water temperature with his hands, and said, "The water is too cold to go down", and it has been a laughing stock of Shilin since then.

At this time, Sun Yueling did not dare to be sloppy, but still met each other with courtesy, and greeted each other with Qian Qianyi.

Ye Xianggao watched the two of them salute each other, and said with a smile: "Sun Dushi, Shouzi is a well-known figure in the entire Jiangnan area, in the future, you should be closer and closer." ”

Qian Qianyi hurriedly expressed his humility, claiming that he was afraid, and Shoufu really tormented him when he said this.

Ye Xianggao and the others calmed down, and then spoke slowly: "So many things have happened in Jingshi recently, I guess you all already know about it. After a pause, he continued, "Not only was the queen assassinated, but even the second elder of King Zou was forced to leave the court, so it can be seen that Wei Zhongxian and others have stolen the authority, and the saint does not fully believe in us and other people in the Eastern Forest." I'm waiting for the people in the East Forest, and I'm afraid that the road ahead will become more and more difficult......"

As soon as he said this, Sun Yueling felt that it was difficult to answer, so he had to stand there quietly.

Li Ruobing said: "Elder Ge, ** Lord Xing has come to me recently, and he still adheres to the strategy of killing all three parties in one net, and asks us to care about Tang to assist Jinyiwei and uproot Citigroup, you see, is this feasible?" ”

Ye Xianggao seemed to be quite angry when he heard this, his chest rose and fell, and his beard trembled even more, and said: "This is an extraordinary time, the Son of Heaven has already raised doubts about us, how can we use swords and soldiers in vain?" Didn't you tell him what I was saying? ”

Li Ruobing explained: "I have already revealed Elder's proposition to Lord Zhao, but Lord Zhao is the leader of the Donglin Party, so he can't listen to my opinion at all, and I ask Elder Ge to personally advise!" ”

Ye Xianggao said angrily: "The party is the same and the disagree, it will definitely provoke the anger of the people, and he doesn't look at how many people in the three parties have already taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian, so he has to force them to join forces to deal with us?" Do you know why I didn't go to say goodbye to the second elder Zou Wang, because I was afraid of provoking criticism from the government and the opposition, and I was afraid that the Son of Heaven would be suspicious of us and other parties! After a while, he gradually regained his calm appearance and said, "I will find Mengbai and discuss this matter with him." You must not act rashly, let alone act against the rest of the forces in Beijing, so as not to cause chaos in Beijing. ”

Li Ruobing asked tentatively: "Then what are we going to do about the assassination of the queen by Citigroup?" ”

Ye Xianggao said: "I have already instructed Luo Sigong to investigate this matter secretly, there must be conclusive evidence in order to completely bring down Wei Zhongxian, otherwise, it will not only be difficult to succeed, but it will also be difficult to get burned." You just need to cooperate with Luo Sigong, and don't interfere in the rest of the things for the time being. ”

Li Ruobing agreed and said no more.

Ye Xianggao turned his head, looked at Sun Yueling, and said, "Do you know what you are here for today?" ”

Sun Yueling glanced at Li Ruobing and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Ye Xianggao continued: "You have been imprisoned for so long, and it is time to contribute to the country. Recently, I have persuaded the Son of Heaven to recall you to the imperial court and continue to serve as an official. ”

After hearing this, Sun Yueling hurriedly bowed down and said happily: "Thank you for the cultivation of the old pavilion, Sun Yueling has a sense of guilt." He knew that if it weren't for Ye Xianggao's care for him, he would probably have died in the edict prison a long time ago, and Ye Xianggao cared about him very much, so he was full of gratitude to Ye Xianggao in his heart.

Ye Xianggao changed his words and said: "It's just that you just came out of the prison and went through the household registration turmoil, after all, the aftermath of the impeachment of you in the court is still there, and in this Jingshi, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for the time being." After a pause, he said, "The Holy Father has recently promoted many young officials to be sent to other places, in my opinion, it is better for you to temporarily leave the Beijing Division and take up a post in the local area, so that you can not only avoid the harsh criticism of the three parties in the DPRK and China, but also take advantage of the situation to experience it, and after a year or two, I will transfer you back to Beijing to take up a post, as long as you have made meritorious contributions at that time, no one will have anything to say." ”

Sun Yueling didn't expect that he would also have the opportunity to go out for exercise, and he was surprised in his heart, so he asked cautiously: "I don't know where the Pavilion Elder plans to put me out?" ”

Ye Xianggao looked at the heavy snow outside the window, thought for a moment, and said: "At this time, the Sun Pavilion Department has supervised Jiliao and reorganized the defense of mountains and seas, and under his command, a large number of backward generals have been promoted. Now in this great future, when the border situation in the Northeast is the most important, I can recommend you to serve under the command of the Sun Pavilion Department, you have to perform well, strive to kill more enemies, and make more meritorious contributions. ”

Sun Yueling had never dared to disobey Shoufu's opinion, but now for some reason, his heart suddenly jumped, he remembered something, and said boldly: "Pavilion Lao, does this release have to be Liaodong?" ”

Ye Xianggao glanced at him with his eyes when he heard this, and said lightly: "What, do you want to go to the prosperous place of flowers and willows, the land of hairpins?" Even Li Ruobing looked at him angrily, thinking that he was afraid of hardships and did not dare to go to Liaodong to endure hardships, but wanted to go to the gentle and prosperous township to enjoy wealth.

Sun Yueling felt the anger in Ye Xianggao's heart, and hurriedly explained: "Elder Ge misunderstood, I don't want to go to that prosperous and wealthy place, but I want to go to another place full of dangers and dangers, where you can also establish meritorious deeds. ”

Ye Xianggao was angry for a moment and said, "Go on." ”

Sun Yueling continued: "I have heard that the rebellion in the southwest of Lu'an has affected several provinces, and the imperial court has spent a lot of money, food and material resources, but it has not been completely wiped out for many years. The southwest is the hinterland of the rear of the Ming Dynasty, and if the rear is unstable, it is difficult to complete the work ahead, so I have the courage to ask the first assistant to release me to the southwest and assist the local officials to suppress the rebellious army, so as to ensure that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is solid. After he succeeds in the future, Shoufu will transfer me to Liaodong again, and the kid will have no objections! ”

Ye Xianggao let out an "oh", his eyes flashed, and he said, "You actually want to go to Pingkou in the southwest?" "The Lu'an Rebellion in the southwest has been a disaster for many years, and even Chengdu and Guiyang were almost captured by the rebels, which is the most reassuring thing for the imperial court except for the war in Liaodong. If Sun Yueling can really suppress the rebels in the southwest, it will be a great joy for the Ming court or even the Donglin Party.

Sun Yueling nodded and replied, "Yes, I just want to go to Pingkou in the southwest." ”

Ye Xianggao pondered for a while, laughed, and said: "The future is terrifying, since this is the case, I will play tomorrow, recommend you to the southwest, and supervise the affairs of the southwest Pingkou." ”

After hearing this, Sun Yueling was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down again, and said loudly: "Xie Shoufu's recommendation, Sun Yueling will definitely do his best to suppress the chaotic party, and he will never return to Beijing to report on his work if he is unsuccessful." ”

Li Ruobing and Qian Qianyi both laughed, and Qian Qianyi said: "Master Sun is full of iron courage, and he is indeed a hero among people. ”

Next, after Ye Xianggao and Li Ruobing discussed some specific matters, the two went downstairs together, and before leaving, they asked Sun Yueling and Qian Qianyi to communicate more and have a good talk.

After they left, Sun Yueling and Qian Qianyi started talking. After all, the two were in contact for the first time, although they were both influential figures in Donglin, but when they met for the first time, they didn't know how to talk about it for a while, they just said some polite words to each other.

After chatting for a while, Sun Yueling felt that he had nothing to say to Qian Qianyi, this person's words were erratic, and he was still holding the frame of the leader of Shilin faintly, and his attitude was quite arrogant, which made him, a grassroots literati, at a loss. In the end, the two chatted casually for a while, and then decided to go downstairs and go back.

Out of the Baita Temple, Sun Yueling saw the heavy snow, thought that he was about to go to the southwest to take up his post, and more importantly, he could finally go to Baishi Mountain City to worship the mountain, and his heart was even more excited, and he couldn't help but feel enthusiastic and proud, and said to Qian Qianyi: "Lord Qian, now the snow is flying all over the sky, it is the magnificent scenery of Beijing, you and I might as well walk in the snow, find a wine shop, and then drink and talk in detail, okay?" ”

Qian Qianyi's face was embarrassed, he reached out his palm, and then the snowflakes that fell from the sky, and then tied the brocade around his neck, and said, "The snow is too cold, you and I are still in the same carriage, right?" ”

Seeing that he was unwilling, Sun Yueling smiled and said, "In this case, then just ask Lord Qian to get in the car." I'm used to being lazy, but I still feel more comfortable walking in this heavy snow! With that, he arched his hand at Qian Qianyi, turned around and strode towards the end of the long street covered with wind and snow.
