Chapter 2 Crossing the River

This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, Pingyuan's acquaintance is his ancestral home in Jiaxing, but he lives in Jiangnan, and he is quite familiar with the celebrities in Jiangnan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After the man's stunnedness, he said, "I saw that the old man was in the car." ”

Ru Shi Jun is the honorific title of Liu Ru Yes, Liu Ru Yes's talent is also famous in Jiangnan, how many Jiangnan talents are admired, Pingyuan's familiarity is no exception, it is said that Wang Mingran was recommended on behalf of him. However, Liu Ru has a high vision, and he can't look down on such ordinary people, so he will naturally stop it. It's just that I didn't expect that today, I still can't forget it when I look at it like this.

In contrast, Qian Qianyi's suffix of the old man is in stark contrast. It's just that I don't know, whether it's disdain for other people's behavior, or because Qian Qianyi holds the beauty, there's no way to know.

"Brother Sima, can you see clearly?"

"There's no wrong with that!"

Along the way, I saw a lot of people dressed as scholars, and those who didn't know each other came to Nanjing to see Chen Wen. But what is Qian Qianyi's identity, if it sounds good, the leader of the Southeast Wenzong, if it is not good, it is a second minister with too cold water and itchy scalp, especially when he descends to the Qing Dynasty as the official head of the Ministry of Rites and Shilin, the impact can be said to be extremely bad.

"What are you doing in Nanjing, is it possible that he still wants to ask the king of Huiji County for an official?"

"Hmph, this can't be said, there are any shameless things he can't do, maybe he still reports the dirty idea of dedicating Liu Yin to the Huiji Domain."

"It's hard to say whether he will be like this, but I heard that the princess is not a good person to get along with. Now there is a small county lord under the knee of the king of Huiji County, and he doesn't dare to take a concubine until now, he must be afraid of guilt. When the time comes, hehe, if you are rich and humble, even if the princess doesn't say anything, her brother is not easy to mess with. ”

"Yes, I think my emperor will be the king of Jijun, the king of the two famous kings, how heroic and martial, he will even be afraid of the inside, and he is really not perfect."

“……”

On the way, everyone chatted, but Pingyuan didn't speak, the gentry of the Ming Dynasty could say whatever they wanted for a long time, and now that the Ming army has recovered Jiangnan, it is inevitable that the solid state will be reborn. However, he remembered that someone had hinted to him before that there was a big man in the Shilin in Jiangnan who had always secretly supported the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty. Could this person be Qian Qianyi?

Once this thought arises, it really scared him a lot, the water is too cold, the itchy scalp will resist clearing, it is really incredible, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that Guizhuang has also spoken for Qian Qianyi......

The crowd ragged back and forth, and soon took away the topic. Ping Yuan thought about it, and didn't speak for a long time, but the acquaintance who was the first to discover Qian Qianyi and Liu Ruyi first followed silently and frowned.

"Nothing." Ping Yuan shook his head, and then replied: "I'm pondering, should we go to the place where the martyrs of the Tonghai case died to mourn first, and then go to the city." ”

"It's a good idea, loyal and righteous, as it should be."

This was indeed a good idea, and everyone echoed it, so they went to the passers-by first, and after confirming the location, they went straight there. However, when they arrived, what they saw was not the graves of the victims, nor the corpses of blood sacrifices, but the Ming army supervising the workers to lay the foundation, and a lot of bricks and tiles were piled up around it, as if they were going to build some kind of building here.

"So that Xiu will know that the king has an order to build a memorial shrine for the martyrs of the Tonghai case here for future generations to pay respect."

Hearing this, everyone nodded with satisfaction: "The king of Huiji County has a heart, and the incense is endless, which is also a good thing to show loyalty and lead the world to goodness." ”

………………

What Pingyuan and his entourage saw was indeed Qian Qianyi and Liu Ruyi, before Jierharang and Ma Guozhu in the Jiangnan Daxing Tonghai case, Qian Qianyi had turned into a latent state since the Tongzhejiang case that year, and performed harmlessly for a long time, and the Manchu government did not dare to easily attack this influential Wenzong leader.

In the final analysis, the purpose of this Tonghai case was to provide food and salary for the army while striking at the anti-Qing forces in Jiangnan, and at the same time to send a large amount of money and grain to the Manchu court in case of emergency. If it was for the sake of Qian Qianyi alone, and those wall grasses were also scared into rebellion, it would be a bit more than worth the loss. After all, if this battle is won, Jiangnan will still be the most important place of wealth for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Qian Qianyi was in no danger during the Tonghai case, but he didn't dare to make any moves at all, lest he be targeted by Zierharang and Ma Guozhu. When Chen Wen was victorious, and even until the news of Nanjing's recovery came, Qian Qianyi dared to come out of Hongdou Villa and made a special trip to ask to see Chen Wen.

The carriage was on the avenue in Nanjing, and although Ma Xin specially sent someone to escort it, whether it could be cleared in one fell swoop depended on Chen Wen's decision. He is self-aware, Zheng Chenggong is his student, and Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition half a year ago was also interpreted by many people as his handiwork, especially those who know the three bureaus of the catalpa, and Chen Wen will be the same if he can't do it. What can be counted on now is nothing more than Chen Wen still thinking about his support over the years, nothing more.

Compared with Qian Qianyi, Liu Ruyi is more eager to try. She has heard many people mention Chen Wen's legend, and Qian Qianyi is indispensable among them.

It's not a quick thing to never meet such a hero. However, she quickly discovered Qian Qianyi's unnaturalness, and hurriedly relieved: "Mu Zhai, Huiji Fan is not like an ungrateful person, otherwise he would not have sent someone to rescue Uncle Wang, even if Huanglizhou set up another mountain in Dalan Mountain, and made it clear that he was against him, he could send reinforcements." Our Qian family Xiangzan military quartermaster has never been left behind, and a large amount of intelligence has been sent to Jinhua, there will always be an explanation. ”

"What Hedongjun said is very true, and it should be so."

Holding the hands of the thirty-seven-year-old beauty in front of him, Qian Qianyi, who is now seventy-three years old, and has a white beard, pretended to smile with relief, but the apprehension in his heart did not dissipate too much.

After fifteen years of marrying into the Qian family, Qian Qianyi's heart can not be concealed from Liu Ruyi. At the age of Gu Qian, the evaluation behind him is even heavier in his heart than before. The water is too cold and his scalp is itchy, he has a bad reputation among Shilin, many people think that he is literate but not virtuous, even Gu Yanwu and his nephew Jin Shengxi look down on him. Especially the latter, on his birthday, he wrote a couplet in public "A civil official with a small flower face, an old traitor of the three dynasties" to scold him, making him lose face.

Now that Jiangnan has arrived, Manchu Qing looks like a rabbit's tail, and he can't grow anymore, his years of hard work have not been in vain, but it still depends on Chen Wen's attitude to really implement it. Now that we are about to meet, we are more worried than before.

I don't know how long the carriage has been traveling, Qian Qianyi's body and mind have long been exhausted, but he is holding on in the carriage with a heart. After a long time, the carriage stopped, and the coachman's voice came, saying that he had arrived at Chen Wen's line.

Chen Wen's line is where the former Jiangnan and Jiangxi Governor's Yamen is located, Qian Qianyi has not been here, but his mentality has already been very different.

The two got out of the carriage and turned to look at Xingyuan, and Qian Qianyi's heart was finally let go. And Liu Ru also smiled at this moment, and then said to Qian Qianyi: "I just said, the Huiji Fan is not like an ungrateful, and you have been worried for so long." ”

Hearing Liu Ruyi's ridicule, Qian Qianyi also turned to laugh and said: "Hedong Jun knows thousands of miles, and it is indeed the old man who is too worried. With that, Qian Qianyi hurriedly walked towards the gate of Xingyuan.

At this moment, the door of Xingyuan was wide open, and a man in a python robe and jade belt was standing at the gate to greet him. Seeing this, Qian Qianyi took three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but the man took the lead and held Qian Qianyi, who was a little unstable in his legs and feet.

"The king is the king of the country, and he opens the door to welcome him, and he is really ashamed."

"The shepherd has contributed a lot to the country in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has made great contributions, so what should he not do. As for what the king, it's still free, I call you a shepherd, you call me Furen, we are old friends, don't want those red tape. ”

It was none other than Chen Wen who supported Qian Qianyi. And it was precisely this answer that really scared Liu Ru is head, originally she saw that the middle door was wide open and finally settled down for Qian Qianyi, as for the people who greeted her, the marquis and earl in the army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming were okay, and there were many generals or chief military officers with seals, and the people who were given python robes and jade belts could be said to be there, but she never thought that it would really be Chen Wen.

"That old man is rude."

"You're always so polite."

Shaking his head with a smile, Chen Wen turned to look at Liu Rus. The appearance of a thirty-something, well-cut clothes, and a slightly monotonous color, but it better sets off the soft face and slender figure. It's just that in this softness, Chen Wen can still see that the beautiful woman in front of her is a soft character on the outside and strong on the inside, and her inner strength is far better than her weak husband.

"I think this is Mrs. Qian who wrote about the battle in the sea and now and Tian Heng's tomb is worried."

This poem is called "Yue Wu Mu Temple", which was written in the Yue Wang Temple on the bank of the West Lake in Hangzhou, Chen Wen remembered that in a previous movie, Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru had their first intersection there, but at that time Liu Ru was wearing men's clothes to take class, but Qian Qianyi did not know that there was a talented woman in a room of scholars.

"It's the concubine."

Without waiting for Qian Qianyi's introduction, Liu Ru replied on his own. Qian Qianyi is very fond of Liu Ru on weekdays, and he doesn't care about these rudeness.

"I've heard the name for a long time, like thunder."

Nodding, Chen Wen didn't look at it much, and turned to Qian Qianyi and said, "Mu Weng, people are still preparing for the banquet that catches the wind." Let's go in, you can also bathe and change clothes, and take a fine look at the dust along the way. ”

"Everything depends on Furen's arrangement."

Today's events have been pushed out by Chen Wen, and now that Chen Wen has recovered Jiangnan, Qian Qianyi's role in intelligence and other aspects has plummeted. But Chen Wen is not the kind of guy who faces forward when employing people and faces backward when he doesn't use people, although Qian Qianyi's weakness has never been very favorable, but all these years of vigorous help have risked his life, and knowing that gratitude is the right way.

After bathing and changing clothes, the guests and hosts sat down, the dishes were carefully prepared in the kitchen, Chen Wen was still a trainee foodie, after all these years of ups and downs, it doesn't matter anymore, there is no difference between eating in the army and the soldiers, only at home and in the line, Zhou Yueying and those cooks in the line will change the way to arouse some of his appetite.

Like Chen Wen, Qian Qianyi didn't come here just to eat. It is natural to recount the past, and some things also need Chen Wen to help him rehabilitate Zhaoxue.

"Mu Weng rest assured, Mu Weng has been exhausted and made great contributions to the expulsion of the Tartars over the years, with the assistance of a heroine like Mrs. Qian. Not only in the bottom, but also many people with lofty ideals are in the eyes. Although some of them are no longer there, there are many more who are aware of it. For example, Mr. Lizhou, Mr. Wei of Huzhou, such as Editor-in-Chief Lu and Chen Buzheng, they have all seen it with their own eyes, and the newspaper in Jiangnan is also being prepared, and the deeds of Mu Weng will never be lost in the long river of history. ”

Qian Qianyi is not a hero in the traditional sense, he is weak, even to the point of being incorruptible and shameless. However, in the second half of his life, he was able to resolutely devote himself to the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty, and became the leader behind the scenes of the anti-Qing people in the southeast and the actual liaison of the Ming army in the southeast and southwest of the Yongli Dynasty and the formulator of the grand strategy.

"Then there is Lao Furen, old decay, decay ......"

Holding the wine glass, Qian Qianyi couldn't cry anymore, and it was already good for him that his long-cherished wish for many years could not be realized. It was Liu Ruis who was also very excited, and simply recommended himself, saying that he wanted to play and sing a song for Chen Wen, which could be regarded as a sign of gratitude.

Chen Wen was flattered to have the opportunity to see Liu Ruye's performance, and Liu Ru is playing and singing is probably also a song praising Chen Wen. Chen Wen has heard a lot of this kind of song, and the teaching workshop in Nanjing City has also produced some in these days, and the response in the market is very good, but compared to Liu Ruis, there is always a sense of expectation, and it is a pleasure to be able to make up for it now. However, Chen Wen has more important things to do than to appreciate the talent of this famous prostitute who is well known in later generations.

"The merits of the herdsman are ready to be written in the next place, and he is seeking the commendation and commendation of the Son of Heaven. In addition, I plan to recommend the shepherd to the cabinet, but I don't know what the shepherd means? ”

Hearing this, Qian Qianyi understood that Chen Wen needed to have his own people in the cabinet, although the civil officials in his entrainment were not bad, but in the final analysis, they were all people who lifted people and showed talents. And Qian Qianyi's personal influence in Shilin is extremely great, and Chen Wen also needs such a person to influence the governance of the government as his representative in the court.

Chen Wen asked this question, and Qian Qianyi was naturally full of answers. At the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, Qian Qianyi got what he dreamed of, and it was two things at the same time, Chen Wen was fortunate to see Liu Ru playing and singing, although he looked a little rusty, but the shocking feeling still touched him a lot.

A few days later, an auspicious day of the zodiac was specially selected, and Chen Wen of Nanjing Ming Xiaoling led the soldiers of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Jiangnan gentry led by Qian Qianyi worshiped Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, behind the palace of Xiangdian.

“…… His Majesty expelled the Tartars, restored China, restored the old land of the Han family, restored the prestige of Han officials in the world, and prevented Chinese civilization from being annihilated in the violent Yuan massacre. ”

"Minister, Admiral Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and other waterway soldiers and horses to aid the general officer, specially given python jade, cheap acting, hanging the seal of the general, the left army governor's mansion Zuo Dudu, Taibao and Prince Taibao, Huiji County King Chen Wen, now to the chief and Shuo Zheng Prince Jierharang, and Shuo'an Prince Yue Le's head as a sacrifice, I hope Your Majesty will protect my Jiangsu and Zhejiang Wang Shi as soon as possible to sweep away Jiannu and recover the Han family!"

The executioner stepped forward, the sword flashed, and the head of Zilharang fell to the ground, and it was immediately placed on the altar, alongside Yue Le's shriveled head.

Chen Wen personally drafted the sacrificial text and read it, and led everyone to bow to the ground. He was ready to cross the Yangtze River, and he could set off as soon as tomorrow arrived.
