Chapter 7 The forces of the eight directions, the wind and clouds

Beijing city at night, except for the occasional sound of a few husbands on the street, but also quiet a little terrible, and since the news of the Qing soldiers entering the customs into the Beijing Division, the people's hearts are floating during the day, and naturally the Beijing city at night is more and more bleak and weird.

Of course, it is not excluded that some people, dressed in brocade clothes and carrying embroidered spring knives on their waists, shuttle freely in this dark night, because this is their stage.

"Senho-sama."

In the night, a burly man bowed his hand to a man in the alley who had fallen into darkness.

"Are you all ready?"

A sentence that could not be heard with the slightest expression came from the alley.

"Everything is in order."

"There is an order from above, act immediately!"

It was still a cold word, but it was revealing that there was no room for doubt.

"Yes, sir."

"Action!"

As soon as the big man beckoned, several black shadows flashed around him, shooting in all directions - the west city of Beijing, which was the place where the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing gathered.

In a magnificent mansion, it is the beginning of the lanterns, and it is very lively.

Take a closer look, there is a pair of door couplets engraved on both sides of the Zhu Gate, which reads: Nineteen military music in the article, and the ancient man let go.

The pen is strong and vigorous, but at first glance it is from everyone's handwriting, but the pair of lanterns printed with the huge word 'money' at the door are even more dazzling.

"Lord Qian, happy to add a noble son, congratulations, congratulations!"

Outside the mansion gate, an elderly man with a wide body and a fat body, but also with an elegant style, got down from the sedan chair and congratulated the middle-aged man in a red coat and dark cloud sleeves at the mansion gate.

"Where is Lord Liu, it is a child's luck that Lord Liu can come to the cold house, please come to Lord Liu."

The middle-aged man didn't make many excuses, but he came straight to the house.

This person's name is Liu Yixian, a member of the Donglin Party, a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and was the first assistant to the cabinet of the Jiajing Dynasty.

"Lord Qian, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Lord Qian!"

——Not long ago, the Qian Mansion was full of guests from all over the world, because today was the leader of the Donglin Party, and Qian Qianyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was happy to add a noble son, so it was naturally a gathering of guests from all over the world.

"Zhou Guozhang has arrived!"

Just when everyone was staggering, the little guy at the door suddenly called.

"Zhou Guozhang? Zhou Kui, why is he here?! ”

Hearing that Zhou Kui was coming, the faces of the people who came to congratulate them in the mansion were tight, and they were obviously a little displeased, especially Liu Yixi, a veteran figure among the Donglin scholars, and others even wrote their dissatisfaction on their faces, but they were a little displeased with Qian Qianyi on the side.

"Brother Shou, why did this person come?"

For the arrival of this person, why did everyone look a little unhappy, it turned out that this Zhou Kui this person, although he is a noble abbot, the emperor's relatives, but this person's background is too humble, for this background, the ancients have a ninth-class saying, the old nine, the scholar also, in fact, is not.

That is the Yuan Dynasty which illiterate vulgar people, want to come to the Ming Dynasty to read the identity of the noble tight, Shinong businessmen, they are the first, to say what kind of origin Zhou Kui is, if the monks and nuns are not born high, then naturally Zhou Kui is even lower, because he was just a face master under the overpass in Beijing City, to put it bluntly, he is a liar and gangster who eats with his mouth, how can these Donglin people with a heart higher than the sky look down on him, even if he is now a national abbot, these people are not worthy of him.

"Lord Liu, this matter is definitely not Qian's intention, but since Zhou Guozhang has arrived, I am waiting for Donglin scholars and exemplary literati, but we should not lose our manners in front of others, what do you think?"

Qian Qianyi is such a person, after a moment of surprise, he also returned to normal, looked at the people around him and smiled.

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent for a while, and everyone stopped talking, but they were suddenly a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, I think what Lord Qian Qianyi said is very true, as a role model in the literary world, we must not lose the face of my Donglin Shi in front of outsiders."

A cough broke the previous silence, and the person who spoke was surnamed Li, his name was Banghua, and he also had a name in Donglin, called Di Yongxing Sick Wei Chi, this person had always been a close friend of Qian Qianyi, so he spoke.

"What Master Li said is very true."

As soon as these words came out, everyone spoke one after another. After all, the two big figures in Donglin have expressed their attitudes, and they, the rising stars of Donglin, are naturally not good at refutation, the key is that Zhou Kui is a relative of the emperor after all, and he is the biological father of the queen, but he offended this person for no reason, but everyone did not want to offend him.

No matter how hard the backbone of the so-called literati is, it can't be as hard as a butcher's knife, not to mention the disaster of the eunuchs in the former dynasty is vivid, of course, whether the backbone of these literati who claim to be very hard is really hard, everything can only be brewed by time.

"Since Brother Shou, Brother Li said this, it's not easy for the old man to say anything, since that's the case, then let's meet this national master?!"

Although Liu Yixian said that he didn't like to be with that Zhou Kui, but after all, he was in the Qian Mansion today, and he couldn't save Qian Qianyi's face, after all, he could survive from the black roster of 'Donglin Point General', which proved that he Liu Yixiao was definitely not a person who didn't know how to change.

"Since Lord Liu said so, how about I go and greet this national master?"

Qian Qianyi said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, just according to what Master Qian said!"

Everyone shouted.

"Master Guo, these stinky scholars are really big, and they don't even give the face of Master Guo!"

But it was said that outside the gate of the Qian family, on the side of a gorgeous sedan chair, a small guy said to a gorgeously dressed and slightly thin middle-aged man beside him.

"Dog minion, what do you know!"

Hearing what the little guy next to him said, the middle-aged man who was already a little cold scolded him.

"The minions don't dare."

Seeing that the old man beside him was angry, the little guy was a little timid.

The middle-aged man didn't care about the little guy next to him, but he stared at the gate of the Qian Mansion in a daze, and there was a trace of coldness in his expression that others couldn't detect.

"Good, good."

The middle-aged man muttered.

Just when the middle-aged man was outside, a voice suddenly came.

"Master Guo, I've been waiting for a long time, Qian Mou is here to apologize to you!"

This person is Qian Qianyi, but he is smiling at the moment.

"Lord Qian is polite, I heard that Lord Qian is happy with the unicorn today, and I took the liberty to bother, but I am ashamed!"

Seeing Qian Qianyi and his party coming, Zhou Kui's somewhat gloomy face just now immediately made a big turn, with a smile on his face, and he complimented him to the fullest.

"What did the abbot say, although Qian said that he was happy to add a child, how dare he disturb the abbot, and the abbot said this, but it was a torment for the officials."

talked for a while, but the words between the two did not leak.

"Old fox."

Liu Yixiao on the side secretly scolded, but he didn't know who the scolding was, or that these two people were.

"Oh, Lord Guozhang, it's windy outside, hurry up inside, please!"

"Since Lord Qian invited, it would be disrespectful to be below."

"Haha, please Guozhang!"

- "Lord Guozhang, the next official has come to introduce a few colleagues to Lord Guozhang. ”

Entering the mansion, Qian Qianyi began to introduce Liu Yixian and a few people to Zhou Kui, he knew the purpose of Zhou Kui's trip, as a rising star with no background, what he needed was the 'relationship' of these sergeants.

"Then it's going to bother you."

Zhou Kui smiled and was extremely humble.

"Guozhang said that he laughed, the old decay Liu Yixie, I have seen Guozhang."

Liu Yixiao didn't wait for Qian Qianyi's introduction, but arched his hand towards Zhou Kui, but turned to the side and said no more.

In the face of Zhou Kui and Qian Qianyi's double reeds, Liu Yixian had already endured to the limit, if it weren't for the sake of him and Qian Qianyi's colleagues for many years, I am afraid that he would have brushed his sleeves away a long time ago.

Seeing Liu Yixiao like this, Qian Qianyi and Zhou Kui were obviously stunned, but they soon returned to normal, as for what they thought in their hearts, it was unknown to ordinary people, "This is Li Bangfa Li." ”

"Long admiration, long admiration! Lord Li is loyal and courageous, and is the backbone of my Ming Dynasty, but he has heard of it for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to meet, but when he sees it today, he is fortunate to be in the next three lives! ”

"The national abbot praised it falsely, and the old man really didn't dare to bear the word "minister of the backbone."

Although there is some indifference in his heart, it is just that Li Bangfa has a close relationship with Qian Qianyi, so he is not as cold as Liu Yixiu.

- "I heard that the abbot of the Forbidden City was famous, I don't know if it's true or not, but I want to disturb the abbot. ”

However, just when everyone was vain and wronged, suddenly a sound shocked everyone, but in an instant, everyone's expressions were different, some were sad, some sneered-
