Chapter 130: Unexpected

Investigate the origin of Chen Wen!

This idea is really too crazy, you must know that Chen Wen is not only his brother-in-law, but also his boss, and even Jun!

Investigating the boss with subordinates and investigating the monarch with ministers is a very taboo thing, and if you don't get it right, it will lead to death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Not only Zhou Jingting was here, but even Zhou Yueying was taken aback. Not only these, Zhou Yueying's side also involved the promise between her and Yi Qing, so she immediately expressed her resolute opposition.

After objecting, the brother and sister did not mention it, because it was supposed that this incident had never happened at all. It's just that no one thought that this clip was later recorded by Zhou Jingting in his private notes, and was later made public by his great-great-grandson, which caused an uproar in the historical circles, and even led to the advent of a female-themed film where female moviegoers began to become the main force of moviegoers.

And the heroine of this movie, who was given the name of her boudoir by countless conscientious young historical inventors and directors and screenwriters with big brains, uses the surname of Chen Wen's wife and the nickname of his daughter in the rumors......

Because he has to get used to writing with a brush, Chen Wen occasionally writes one or two posts of calligraphy on weekdays, and some Zhou Jingting has also seen it. For example, when he came back from Jiangxi not long ago, Chen Wen brought back a copy that said, "Where there is a will, things can be done, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes belong to Chu after all; Hard-working people, the sky is not bearable, lying on the salary to taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu" is excellent with the dictionary, and it is also very appropriate.

It's just that I didn't expect a song "Huanxi Sha", Zhou Jingting actually thought about it so much, if Chen Wen had a magic skill like mind reading or Shunfeng Ear, he would probably be scared by him.

After dinner, Chen Wen's family returned to the palace. The child was handed over to the nurse to bring, but the nurse was not responsible for breastfeeding, only responsible for coaxing the child to sleep, because Chen Wen remembered that it seemed to be said in some program on TV that breastfeeding is very good for the health of the mother and the baby, and there is no need for that arrangement.

When the daughter arrived in the room next to her, the maids also retreated to serve and wash, and the room became the two-person world of Chen Wen and Zhou Yueying again.

"I'm tired."

"Fortunately, there is a husband, and the concubine is not tired."

Leaned her head lightly on Chen Wen's shoulder, although she had never communicated with her brother about the story of the bride's wife, it inevitably lingered in her mind. Especially when she thought that her husband might still have another woman living in his heart, the exhaustion and pain made it difficult for her to breathe.

"Husband, the belly of the concubine is not angry, if it is a man, our Chen family will have a successor."

Zhou Yueying also said something similar after giving birth, but she had already let go of some baggage under Chen Wen's kind comfort. And she also wanted a daughter, of course, after having a son. But after today's place, I always feel that it is because I gave birth to a daughter that Chen Wen will recall too many things, and such complex feelings have emerged again, and even have begun to affect her judgment of Chen Wen.

Chen Wen didn't know about the secret conversation between the two siblings, but he could still feel his wife's uneasiness. There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, and there is no man in one fell swoop, and this pressure is really not small. She is no longer the girl with too many unrealistic ideas at the beginning, but a wife and a mother, and her mentality is no longer what it used to be.

There is a difference between men and women, and there is even more difference between grandchildren. China has been monogamous since ancient times, and concubines are just tools used by the head of the family to vent their desires, and they are accessories, otherwise how can there be a gift of concubines and others for elegance. Since it is just an accessory, it is very different from the wife in the Lord, and the children born are naturally more precious than the mother.

But if the wife has no children and the concubine has children, the inheritance of the concubine bears the risk of being watched by. What's more interesting is another, concubines have children, wives have young sons, Chen Wen remembers a novel he read before, in which the civilian-official group instigated the eldest son and sister-in-law who had been canonized, in order to divide the military group established by the protagonist......

"It has nothing to do with you, giving birth to a son or a daughter is decided by a man, and it has nothing to do with a woman?"

"What?"

"That's right."

As a result, Chen Wen continued to peddle theories on television, but using a metaphor that was closer to this era.

"There is a saying that the blood of the father and the mother gives birth to life. The father's essence is the seed, the mother's blood is the earth, and when the seed is planted, what is harvested has nothing to do with the earth, it depends on what kind of seed it is. Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans. ”

As soon as this set of rhetoric came out, Zhou Yueying was startled. It's not that she can't understand it, it's just that Chen Wen's knowledge scared her again.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, ancestral learning."

"Ancestral?"

Zhou Yueying clearly remembered that Chen Wen's ancestor was a hereditary guard officer, his grandfather and father were Yu Ding, who started a business, and the ancestor's generation was a charcoal burner in Xincheng County, Hangzhou, which seemed to have nothing to do with medicine, especially gynecology.

Doubts surfaced on his pretty face, and Chen Wenden realized that this ancestral word was different from the statement he had made up before, and immediately added: "Our mother's maiden family runs a crude medicine shop. ”

"Oh."

Chen Wen remembered that when he was in Dalan Mountain, he used fabricated life stories one by one to fool others, and he was able to succeed many times, after all, it was a blank sheet of paper, and he painted it casually. But now he found that he seemed to have begun to cocoon himself a little, and it seemed that the saying that a lie needs 10,000 lies to be fulfilled has really come true.

Isn't it, find an opportunity to make it clear with Zhou Yueying.

As soon as this idea came to mind, Chen Wendeng fell into contradictions. On the one hand, Zhou Yueying is his wife and partner in the second half of his life; On the other hand, the secret of the traverser, even to this Cao Conglong, the mortal person, he did not explain it at that time, but only used prophecy to plant the seed and force that guy to death.

Do you want to say it?

Chen Wen was silent, Zhou Yueying raised her head and asked suspiciously, "Husband, what's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Interrupting his train of thought, Chen Wen hurriedly replied: "I'm thinking, since you want a son so much, make up for it." When the body recovers, let's just work harder. ”

"Well, the concubine listens to the husband."

Do you want to say it? Let's go over it again.

My husband must be hiding something from me, it must be like this.

Same bed, different dreams.

………………

Just like a rest, the first month always passes quickly, and soon it will be the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month.

This year is already the fourth New Year for the Ming Army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to recover Jinhua Mansion, and the Ming Army Group of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has recovered the territory of two provinces under the leadership of Chen Wen. In order to show the atmosphere of rejuvenation, the three governors of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Southern Jiangxi also issued an order to celebrate, not only in the Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve night in front of the government offices of each prefecture, but also today to encourage the big households, merchants and people in each prefecture and city to set off lanterns to celebrate, and the government is also Jinwu.

The return of the peaceful scene before the Qing army went south is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the morale of the people, and almost every citizen who participated in it can see the hope of returning to peace from it, and with the issuance of the next special issue of the Sandi Newspaper, it also quickly radiates to the left near the prefecture and county, and even the adjacent areas.

Huguang Changsha Mansion, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also a big celebration, but this is completely a one-man show in the Qin Palace, not as good as the officials and people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This is something that cannot be helped, in the month of Layue, the Qing army of Huguang returned north to the north of Huguang under the huge military pressure from the east and west, and carried out extensive destruction of the prefectures and counties in the occupied area before leaving. Forcibly seizing family property and robbing people's daughters will easily hurt people's lives, and when they evacuate, they even set fire to the city.

In this regard, their reasons are very good, to prevent the enemy, that's all!

After the Qing army withdrew, Sun Kewang of Chenzhou took advantage of the situation to recover the vast areas of Changsha, Baoqing, Hengzhou, Chenzhou, Yongzhou and Guilin in Guangxi, which were in the south of Huguang.

It's just that this is the location of the Changsha shogunate, and the Qing army returning north also has to pass through here, several times in a row, the city is burned and looted, and there is not even a decent house, and the people are not left in total, and the celebration will inevitably become the self-entertainment of the driving army led by the Qin Wangfu.

"The main soldiers of the country went down to Huguang without blood, it is the destiny of heaven!"

"What Fang Editing's words are very true, and that's exactly what he said."

“……”

A group of officials from the Qin Palace's mansion touted Sun Kewang, but no matter how they sounded, they were a little too reluctant.

This is no way, this time Sun Kewang has recovered such a large area, and it is a gift to say that it sounds good, and it is a gift if it is ugly. Obviously, it was Chen Wen who recovered Jiangxi, which led to the doubling of the pressure on the Qing army in Huguang, and had to retreat to the north of Huguang to shorten the defense line, which had nothing to do with Sun Kewang, but now it has become the embodiment of Sun Kewang's destiny, and it is strange if he is not reluctant.

But for these, Sun Kewang listened very happily. Without him, he has never been a fool, but the desire for profit is consumed, the emperor's throne is in front of him, and many things are naturally invisible.

Seeing that Sun Kewang was happy, these officials were even more and more disrespectful, until Fang Yuxuan, who provoked this topic, spoke again and stopped these noises, thus proving that he was the first sycophant in front of Sun Kewang.

"The minister thinks that the will of heaven is clear, and my lord should perform the ritual of meditation as soon as possible, and replace it with the clear. Only by attaining the unification as soon as possible can we better unite people's hearts and then dominate the world! ”

As soon as these words came out, the big tent was shocked, and then a group of officials bowed to the ground to express their support, only Lei Yuelong, a scholar of Xingying University, was still standing there.

"Does Motosuke have any objection to this?"

Cabinet scholars, this is the existence at the top of the civil service pyramid, and it is naturally the envy of everyone. Lei Yuelong worked in the Qin Palace, and accepted Sun Kewang's appointment, but compared to Fan Ying and Fang Yuxuan, his support for the usurper was never great. Sun Kewang wants to usurp the throne, this is well known, but Lei Yuelong's performance is not as good as the head of the auxiliary ministers should be, so not embarrassed or embarrassed, naturally everyone is looking sideways, and there are even more people staring at his throne.

Lei Yuelong did not answer the civil official directly, but saluted Sun Kewang, and then said: "The minister has no objection to this, but the world is undecided, and the three feudal domains of Huiji, Xining, and Yanping are all orthodox under the emperor's name. foolishly thought that when the lord ascended the throne, he should follow the strategy set by the previous year, and it would be safer to recover Nanjing. ”

The so-called strategy of the previous years was exactly what Fan Ying, Ma Zhaoxi and others mentioned when they persuaded Sun Kewang to support the Third Bureau of Catalpa to recover Nanjing, raise the southwest Ruishi with the wealth of the southeast, and then subdue the other Ming armies. With the situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it is good to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

Such rhetoric is a proposal to support Fan Ying, Sun Kewang's cronies, and they naturally will not jump out and slap themselves in the face. However, this persuasion was the momentum of Fang Yuxuan, and he naturally didn't want to give up.

"Time has changed, and now God's intention to favor my lord has been clear, why not practice the gift of meditation and ascend the throne as the emperor? As for Chen Wen, Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and others, they are just military generals of the Ming court. Ming will die, and the three generals will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, our lord will wave his army in all directions with the momentum of the Son of Heaven, and he should sweep away the heroes. ”

In Fang Yuxuan's words, he vigorously led the topic to Sun Kewang's destiny, if Lei Yuelong continued to oppose it, no matter what he said, he would fall into the trap and cause Sun Kewang's dissatisfaction. But Lei Yuelong is an old oilman in the officialdom, if he can't hear this, his current status is also a dream.

"Ask the lord of the country to decide."

The ball arrived at Sun Kewang's feet, looking at these supporting ministers, Sun Kewang also wanted to ascend the throne one day earlier to live the emperor's addiction, but now Li Ding's domestic troubles are still there, and Chen Wen's threat outside is getting bigger and bigger, Lei Yuelong is right, he really can't be in a hurry. It's just that he can't ascend the throne as soon as possible, and he is also unwilling, how can it be a contradiction.

After a while, Sun Kewang walked out of his contemplation and said to the ministers in the tent: "The merits of the princes will never be forgotten. It's just that Mr. Lei is reasonable, and now it is indeed necessary to be on the safe side, and wait until the capture of Wuhan before performing the ritual of Zen concessions. ”

From Nanchang, across Jiangxi, to Wuhan, north of Huguang, it has been a big step, but it is easy for Sun Kewang to endure it.

As a result, Chen Wen, Li Dingguo and others, who needed to suppress his ambition to be the emperor, naturally hated even more, and soon he sent a letter to Chen Wen.

………………

Sun Kewang's messenger set out from Changsha and entered Jiangxi. Since it was a messenger sent by the Qin clan to ask for an audience with Chen Wen, a stagecoach and an official ship were also arranged on the Jiangxi side, and the letter arrived in Chen Wen's hands in February.

Sun Kewang had recently recovered the southern part of Huguang and invited Chen Wen to Changsha to meet the alliance to discuss the next step of the three bureaus and the cooperation of the Ming armies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the southwest.

After reading the letter, Chen Wen sneered for a moment, and then directly handed it over to a scholar who came from Nanzhili to ask for a meeting.

"Mr. Gu, this is the reason why this king is reluctant to wield his command to Nan Zhili."

The Mr. Gu in Chen Wen's mouth is the great Confucian Gu Yanwu in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and it is also the person who denounced those gentry in the Guizhuang family as "full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes".

Unlike Huang Zongxi, who was of the same name as him, Gu Yanwu opposed autocracy, but also believed that a large part of the reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was that the gentry illegally squeezed out too many resources and starved the common people to the point of having to rise up. It can be said that Gu Yanwu himself is still more acceptable and agreeable to what Chen Wen is doing now, so he proposed to lead Chen Wen's army into Jiangnan in the Hidden Poetry Society, and when those gentry oppose it out of their own interests, they can also resolutely go south.

It's just that Gu Yanwu's mind is good, but Chen Wen has more issues to consider, and Sun Kewang is the biggest one among them.

"Huimeng?"

Looking at Gu Yanwu's expression, Chen Wen immediately understood that he didn't understand what this meant at all, so he explained his doubts and said: "In the third to fourth year of Yongli, no Qin clan has yet asked Xunzhen in Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang and other places to ally with him and accept his moderation. When the army entered Guizhou, the Duke of Kuang and the Duke of Zhongguo were in the presence of the Qin domain and sent envoys to join the alliance, but they were attacked by troops. After the war, Zhongguo Gong committed suicide, Kuang Guogong took refuge in the Shuixian clan, and the Qin clan took Guizhou. ”

Kuang Guo Gong Pi Xiong and Zhong Guo Gong Wang Xiang were both warlords in Guizhou, and their military discipline was not strict and their combat effectiveness was also very poor, so later generations generally believed that Sun Kewang's annexation of his army had positive aspects.

For the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, this is indeed the case, after all, the Ming army in the southwest fell on the king twice and recovered a large area of lost territory. But for Chen Wen, who is also a warlord, it is an extremely dangerous signal, just like the reason why he has always refused to stay away from Zhang Mingzhen.

"Something similar is also the fact that between the fourth and fifth years of Yongli, the Qin clan sent the king of Funan into Sichuan, and the generals of Sichuan had a gap with Zhang Yi and refused to ally with him. The king of Funan was ordered, and the army attacked everywhere, and the king of Sichuan was either defeated or surrendered, and many of them surrendered to the Tartars. The Kui Dong people will be able to preserve, completely defending themselves according to the danger, and it will be difficult for the king of Funan to survive for a while. ”

The first step of the Great Western Army out of Yunnan to resist the Qing Dynasty was not to engage the Qing army, but to use the alliance to annex the Ming army in the neighboring provinces and continue to grow its power, so that the Ming army in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces later came out of the Great Western Army. The implication of Chen Wen's words is very clear, Sun Kewang's so-called alliance is to annex the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the bigger fierce news is still to come.

"In the sixth year of Yongli, the king of Xining became a famous king twice, and the world was shaken, and everyone thought that the Ming Dynasty was promising. Does Mr. Gu know why the king of Xining did not continue to fight in Huguang later, but went south to Guangxi? That's because out of jealousy, Qin Fan sent someone to invite the king of Xining to discuss the plan, but he was actually tempted to go so that he could do harm. As a result, he did not expect the matter to be revealed, and the king of Xining was forced to lead his troops and horses south, in order not to compete with him, so as not to cheapen the Tartars. ”

"Even the victory in Hengyang, it was Sun Kewang who secretly ordered Feng Shuangli not to send troops, and wanted to use Nikan's hand to get rid of the king of Xining, so he was not able to do his full work. Most of the fleeing Qing army defeated the Qin army in Zhoujiapu the next year, which can be regarded as a report and a report. It's a pity that the southwest king Jinghua went to most of it, and it was extremely difficult to ease up. ”

"Even so, the Qin Domain's heart is still immortal except for the heart of the King of Xining. In the seventh year of Yongli, the king of Xining was defeated in Zhaoqing and retreated to Liuzhou. The Qin clan sent Feng Shuangli's army to attack, but was defeated by the king of Xining, and it took two years to stop. ”

Li Dingguo became a famous king twice, and Gu Yanwu was extremely excited when he heard about it, and even wrote poems to commemorate it. Who knew that Li Dingguo would go south to Guangxi next, and Sun Kewang would be a fiasco after taking over the Huguang battlefield. He always thought it was a strategic mistake by the two, but he didn't expect that there were so many filths in it.

"To put it plainly, Sun Kewang wants this king to go to Changsha in order to kill me there, and then annex Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he thinks that I don't know the pickled things he did after thousands of miles, but he also underestimates me Chen Wen too much."

Next, Chen Wen gave Gu Yanwu a general account of the prison of Mr. Eighteen, and briefly talked about the infighting between the Fuming faction and the self-reliance faction in the southwest Ming army and Sun Kewang's ambition to usurp the throne, which made Gu Yanwu sigh repeatedly.

After appeasing Gu Yanwu for the time being, Chen Wen summoned Sun Kewang's envoy and told him clearly that he should go back and reply to Sun Kewang, the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang had recovered a large area of lost territory, and they were still recuperating and had no time to ally with him. In addition, Jiangxi was divided, and a large number of military dependents were recuperating in the local area, so if the army of the Qin clan attacked Nanjing, please make a detour, so as not to harass the place by the sergeants and cause unnecessary trouble to both sides.

After sending off the messenger, Chen Wen chatted with Gu Yanwu again, especially Gu Yanwu was also collecting information from various places for his "Book of Diseases of the Heavenly Counties", so every time the two met, they would talk about some inherent situations and changes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as the achievements of today's reforms.

Gu Yanwu is very knowledgeable, especially the details that Chen Wen does not understand, and the communication between the two is also mutual improvement and complementarity. In the evening, Chen Wen invited Gu Yanwu to a family banquet. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two entered the inner house, before the courtyard door was closed, an officer of the Military Intelligence Department chased after them with sweating profusely.

After reading the top-secret and urgent documents, Chen Wen was stunned for a moment, and took a deep breath to recover. And this letter shocked Chen Wen and made Gu Yanwu look at Chen Wen's expression with great confusion There was only one thing mentioned in the military situation, that is, ten days ago, tens of thousands of troops of the Yanping Domain were exhausted from the center and left. Its target was neither Shang Kexi in Huizhou nor Liu Qingtai in northern Fujian, but Nanjing.

Nanking!
