The atmosphere in the mansion of the old Zongbo Qian Qianyi was abnormal, and the slave family members all looked panicked, because they had just received the news that the officials in Suzhou Mansion who had already returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway were now wearing the hats of the Qing Dynasty one by one, and even wanted to send troops to arrest the old Zongbo, so as to flatter the Qing court.

When the Qian Mansion was panicking, the old Zongbo's study was still lit, and it was not Qian Qianyi, a literary tycoon who was nearly eighty years old, who sat under the lamp, but his wife, Hedong Junliu, one of the eight Yans of Qinhuai that year.

After sending away the disciple who had just sent the news, Qian Qianyi pushed open the study with a sad face, and found that his wife was not packing up, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "I'm leaving tomorrow, why haven't you cleaned up yet?" ”

"You have to leave as soon as you say go, I don't know where to pack up these many books!"

Liu got up and walked to the table full of books and papers, but he couldn't calm down to clean up.

Seeing this, Qian Qianyi sighed, he knew why his wife was like this, but he pretended not to know that his wife was complaining, and stepped forward to flip through the letters on the table that he had with officials and gentry from all over Jiangnan in the past month.

Qian Qianyi looked at it for a while, feeling lonely for a while, and sadness appeared on his old face. In the middle of the ring, he let out a sigh of relief, grabbed the manuscript and letter on the table, and prepared to burn it. These letters must not fall into the hands of the Qing court, otherwise thousands of heads will fall to the ground in Jiangnan.

Suddenly, Liu Ru snatched those letters as if she was nervous, and vented all her resentment to her husband, she said angrily: "The army of hundreds of thousands was defeated by Liang Huafeng's nameless generation, you disciple is so capable!" He really didn't succeed enough, he lost more than enough, now it's okay, he patted his ass and wanted to leave, leaving Jiangnan in this mess, does he know how many people will die in Jiangnan when he goes, how many people will die! ”

Hearing his wife say this about his proud disciple, Qian Qianyi was a little displeased: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, how can Hedongjun say this about Damu." ”

"I don't know what a soldier is, I only know that he Zheng Damu wasted a month under the city of Nanjing, wasted a month! You tell you, what is the truth of this, which article is mentioned in the book of war! ”

Qian Qianyi's words were sluggish, so he had to say: "It's already like this, it's useless to say more." ”

"If it's useless to talk more, why do you want to see him?"

"I went to see Da Mu because I hoped that Da Mu would not leave, and I hoped that I could help Da Mu come up with some ideas, the matter in Jiangnan is not irreparable, and my remnant body should also do my last bit for the state affairs."

"You're all this age, what else can you come up with, what else can you do? Aren't you doing enough? I don't want you to see Zheng Sen, I don't want you to worry about regaining your sight anymore! ”

"Hedong-kun, how can you say this! That year, when we went to Nanjing, you wanted me to resist the Qing Dynasty, you were willing to follow Liang Hongyu's drums, and I also asked myself to kill the enemy, didn't you and I make an oath at that time? ”

"This time, that time. At the time of Liang Hongyu, the Song Dynasty still had half of the country, but now? It's been 16 years, and we've done a lot, but what about the result? ... In short, I don't want you to contact Zheng Sen anymore, and I don't want you to contact the outside anymore, I just want you to stay at home, stay at home..."

"The country depends on people to fight, everyone doesn't go into battle, they don't contribute, why talk about the country!" Qian Qianyi's academic cultivation is excellent, and he is even more tactful and delicate with Liu Ru on weekdays, but this will be really angry, he is very dissatisfied with why his wife has changed into a person, from supporting him against the Qing Dynasty to stopping him.

Hearing her husband's heavy tone, Liu Ru was also angry, and said angrily: "Why didn't you go into battle sixteen years ago?!" Don't you look at yourself, an eighty-year-old man, what kind of battle are you going to, what kind of strength are you going to do?! ”

"As long as I resist the Qing Dynasty and regain my sight, I am not afraid of death, let alone age!" Qian Qianyi was really angry.

"Die, you tell me to die! When the Tartars entered Nanjing, why didn't you die? The Tartars have taken you captive to Beijing, how can you not die? Huang Yuqi was killed, why didn't you die? Your disciple is besieging Nanjing, why don't you force him to die and let him attack the city quickly? Now that the army has been defeated and retreated, you say death! I tell you, I won't go with you to see Zheng Sen, and I won't allow you to go! Sixteen years ago, I refused to go to Beijing with you, and today I refuse the same! ... I'm not going! ”

Listening to his wife's words, Qian Qianyi was silent, he had regretted what happened back then for 16 years, 16 years!

In the first year of Hongguang, Qian Qianyi was cleared, and then he was taken to Beijing by Duoduo, but his wife Liu Ru was unwilling to follow and stayed alone in Nanjing. After two years, Qian Qianyi was arrested by the Qing court for the Huang Yuqi case, and Liu Ru ran around to rescue him, and then accompanied him to secretly oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Qianyi knows very well that in the past 16 years, if it were not for this brave and intelligent wife accompanying him, with his cowardly and hesitant personality, how could he insist on promoting the "Catalpa Three Bureaus" and let Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong lead the troops into the Yangtze River many times; Without Liu Ruye's assistance, how could he have written works such as "Collected Poems of the Dynasties" to leave a letter for the history of his homeland. Now his wife's sentence of "I won't go" made him sit on the chair dejectedly, he was very aggrieved, why did this Ren Xia woman, who has been shocked so far, change her mind and no longer support him.

Looking at her husband's depressed appearance, looking at his white-haired and old face, Liu Ru's heart softened, and she knew that she had hurt her husband. She stepped forward lightly to hold her husband's hand, and said softly: "Mu Zhai, let's go back to Yushan, no longer pay attention to these ups and downs and survival, you write poems, I run the house, and live like ordinary people, okay?" ”

Listening to his wife's soft voice, Qian Qianyi was also very soft-hearted, he sighed: "Hedongjun, in the past ten years, I have been insulted by others, I have no deeds, I have lost my temperament, and I have inscribed a poem in Tiger Hill to ridicule me, "The official is still the old Donglin", what am I for? ... Alas, I hate that the lonely minister will die late, if Da Mu is going to leave, and there is no chance to recover the war in Jiangnan, why should I go to see him and let him not leave! ”

"I know your hard work, but Zheng Sen asked Ma Jinbao to spread the word, and wanted to send someone to Beijing to negotiate peace, what kind of person Ma Jinbao is, others don't know, don't you know? Besides, the matter of peace negotiation is the most important, and you add it to it, don't you want to be infamous again? At that time, the rumors and rumors of the people of the world will put the account of Zheng Sen's retreat from Nanjing on you! Besides, how to negotiate peace after defeat! Do you want Tartar to give you a good disciple Haicheng Gong or Jiangnan Gong again? But will the Tartars let him make conditions? It can't be done! ”

"You know, I categorically disagree with the peace between Damu and the Tartars, so I have to go to see him no matter what, even if I can't persuade him to stay, I have to make him break off the idea of making peace with the Tartars." Seeing that his wife was a little moved, Qian Qianyi hurriedly tried to persuade her, "In addition, we can't stay in Changshu, if we don't leave with Damu, after the thieves control Jiangnan, they will definitely set off a wave of liquidation and purge, I would rather die than be humiliated by the Tartars!"

Liu Ru was stunned, shook his head and said: "No one can say for sure in the future, besides, you and Lang Tingzuo also have some friendship, not necessarily he will move you." ”

"Even if Lang Tingzuonian let me go in the old relationship, but Hedongjun, Damu is on the river, if I don't see him, I will die in the future, and I will not be blind!"

"Are you really going to see him?"

Qian Qianyi nodded lightly, his attitude was very firm. Liu Ru sighed secretly, knowing that she couldn't persuade her husband, so she had to nod her head and agree. The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Qian Qianyi got into a carriage and rushed to the riverside, but when he was approaching the harbor, he saw that the port in front of him was already on guard.

Qian Qianyi and his entourage couldn't get close to the riverside, so they had to stop in the distance. Suddenly, there was a loud cannon sound on the river in front of him, Qian Qianyi hurriedly asked the servant to make Qian buy the Qing soldiers in the port, and learned that he had found a fleet of Zheng troops on the river, so the Qing troops on the shore opened fire, but they were powerless to stop the Zheng army. Those Zheng troops had no intention of fighting the Qing army, so they only hurried over and drove downstream.

After Zheng Jun left, the Qing army still blocked the port and did not allow anyone to approach, Qian Qianyi spent a lot of money and begged for help, those officials who were open to common money and complimented Qian Qianyi did not dare to accept this silver, and even avoided Qian Qianyi like a plague god, as if whoever touched the old uncle would be unlucky.

Helpless, Qian Qianyi had to board the carriage with the support of the servants. In the car, Lao Zongbo was very unwilling. After the carriage returned to Qianfu, he saw that he was surrounded by many Qing troops at the door of his house from a distance, and he saw that the clothes were real Tartars.

Qian Qianyi was taken aback, he didn't expect that it was not the soldiers from Suzhou who came to arrest him, but the real Tartars, and he was instantly discouraged, knowing that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe after all. But he was not afraid in his heart, he only cared about Hedongjun and his daughter, and hated himself for affecting them.

Before getting out of the car, Qian Qianyi tidied up his clothes a little, he didn't want Tartar to see the tear stains on his sleeves.

"Sir, it's a Tartar... Tartars..."

Qian Qianyi's servant was so frightened that his legs trembled, his voice trembled, and his face was colorless, only to feel that the most terrible thing in the world was in front of him.

"What's the panic, if you want to die, it's my lord, I can't lose your life."

Qian Qianyi snorted slightly, and walked towards those tartars with a fearless face. The Tartars in front also found Qian Qianyi's carriage, and soon the Tartars came on horseback. Qian Qianyi was about to say that the old man was Qian Qianyi, and if he wanted to arrest me, he would arrest me alone, and don't implicate others, but one of the tartars he had seen was very familiar.

"Old Uncle Zong, do you still recognize me?" (To be continued.) )
